COTTON CROP REPORT
AFFECTS WEEKS MARKET
Government Showing Followed by
Flurry-Comparatively Little
Spot Demand Was Reported.
By the Associated Press,

by the ASSOCIATED Preds.
NEW YORK, June s.-The first gov
ernment crop report of the season
showing an end-May condition of 65.6,
was under expectations and was fol-
lowed by a furry Of buying in the
market here on Monday. The demand
appeared to be supplied on an ad-
vance to 27.50 for October contracts
which represented a recovery of over
3h cents per pound from the low
level of last April, however, and the
market has since reacted. owing to
the appearance of more favorable
weather conditions in the south. re-
ports of continued poor demand for
cotton goods, and the apparent failure
of the low condition figures to slim
ulate competition for remaining old
crop supplies.
Comparatively little spot demand
has been reported since the filling of
May engagements, and as prices re-
acted following the advance on the
government crop report. the market
July liquidation. Much of this prob
ably represented the liquidation of
old straddle accounts, July being sold
against purchases of October, and the
difference between the two months
points toward the end of this, week
compared with a difference of over
900 points toward the end of last
month At this narrower difference
offerings of July seemed to be q little
better taken, and while no improve
ment was reported in the volume Of
spot business in the south, spot sales
in Liverpool showed an increase, ow-
ing partly to buying for continental
account In a general way, it is be-
lieved that the weather was unfavor-
able for the first week or ten days
after the collection of data for the
governments report as of May 25, but
that since then conditions have i'm.
proved. Private midmonth condition
reports are expected next week, and
in the opinion of local brokers will
probably show very little change in
crop prospects for the half month A
little more active buying of cotton
goods was reported early in the week
owing to the strength in raw cotton
but when the cotton futures marke'
reacted the demand for goods also
'tapered of.

NEW YORK, June with actiy-
ity below the high level of Friday,
but with prices firm, the bond mark ct
today ended a week of sustained
strength. The feature has been the
remarkable demonstration in United
States government loans, with new
high records for this year in every
prices for all time. The yield now is
only slightly above per cent for
three of the issues and is below 4 per
cent for the rest. This ought to make
it possible to the Treasury financing
due June Is to be accomplished at the
extreme low.
Bank buying has been responsible
for the advance in the libertys. 1t
has not yet appeared in so large a
degree In the so-called legal savings
bank rails. Bonds OF this class have
been firm all the week, but are still
below the highs of the year. The In
dex number for all classes of bonds
is now at the high of the year, but
there is still room for improvement
in individual issues. Curiously enough
as a class, high grade utilities have
Jagged behind the general market, a
condition all the more SURPRISING III
view of the speculative activity in
utility stocks.
More interest has been taken In
speculative rails this week than 1T
some time. New Haven issues have
been especially active close to the
best prices of the year. Another
strong feature this week has beer
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas ad-
justments, with an advance or more
than a point Chicago and Alton y
were up almost as much Rio Grande
Western issues have also enjoyed SUB
stantial advances Even more inter
