WHEAT SCORES
ANOTHER RISE
Advance Influenced BY
Damage Possibilities
BY Drouth

CHICAGO, May 24--InfIuenced by
crop damage possibilities due chiefly TO
continued drought in parts OF Kansas
and to frost in Nebraska, the wheat
market today scored something Of an
advance after a slight decline. Wheat
closing prices were firm, V to y cents
net higher. July, $1.0SH to $1.09H. and
September, $1.09h to $109k with corn
at to h-cent decline, oats y to NO
Y cent down and provisions ranging
from 10 cents off to rise OF cents
At first, the wheat market was
easier owing to profit taking sales on
account of the widespread rains.
However fresh reports OF crop dete-
ioration In Kansas led soon to increased
buying, and to an upward tendency OF
values, especially as reports indicated
that the western half OF Kansas and
Oklahoma had failed to receive much
share OF moisture. Evidence Of una
Dated European buying OF Canadian
wheat had a further buliish effect. the
inference being drawn that with the
Canada surplus reduced the chance to
sell United States wheat abroad dur
ing the summer would materially inn
prove.
Selling orders which developed ON the
price upturns in wheat brought about
only slight temporary declines. Unsea-
sonable cold in the northwest both sides
of the Canadian boundary was one of
the reasons given for the market firm
ness. Some late buying of wheat was
also ascribed to an estimate that Mani
toba wheat acreage would show, a re-
duction OF more tnan rs per cent COM
pared with last year.
Weakness OF the corn market APP
peared to result from Indications of
an increase of rural consignments to
Chicago. Rains were also said to have
improved the crop outlook, Oats fol-
lowed corn.
With offerings light. provisions most
ly held firm.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Buying or

Of the day. M
AS has been the case for several days,
Wall Street was a leading buyer on
the advance. Speculative interests
were convinced that the cool weather

the crop that 1t seems reasonable to
suppose the forthcoming government
report will be bullish document. Pri-
vate condition reports have been dis
tinctly bullish and as the weather con-
tinues, cool over the belt sentiment at
the close OF the week appeared to be
very optimistic Of higher prices.
July contracts sol UP to 29.75c dur
ing the forenoon and October to 26.6sc,
the new crop displaying relatively
greatest strength. II developed that

to small Fail River print cloth sales

NEW oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 24-The
cotton market was very active for a
short Saturday session today and the
trend of prices was upward from start
to finish. May showed some weakness
at the start owing to the issuing of no
tees here, dropping IS points but
rallied to 3102c or So points UP from
the low when the notices were stopped
July opened Is points UP and advanced
later to 29.60c or Al points net higher.
October started IL and December 1S
points above the previous low and
advanced to 25.76 for the former and
$3.50 for the latter months of 81 points
net higher. The close was near the
highest showing net gains for the day
$3.50 for the latter months or 81 points
on later positions. The market opened
firm on much better Liverpool cables
than expected and private advices of
rains and cool weather in the belt.
Recent sellers soon started to cover
freely and the outside pubic also was
a good buyer.

STOCKS DISPLAY
STRONGER TONE
Short Covering Movement
Started By Demand For
Pan Americans

NEW YORK. May 24.-Stock prices
displayed a strong undertone in today's
brief session of the market. A brisk
demand for the Pan American issues
set in motion a short covering move
ment which gained considerable mo-
mentum in the last hour as stop loss
orders against contracts on the short
side were caught by the rapidity of
the upturn.
Oils gave one of the best demonstra-
trations of group strength, reports of
increased consumption in the last week
being certified by a substantial in
erase in the oil import of the United
Kingdom Dispatches from the middle
west indicated that the recent gasoline
price cuts in Chicago were due to
local condition and not likely to be-
come general.
Professional traders were reported ac-
tive in the covering of the industrial
leaders on the theory that the enact
ment of a tax reduction bill, even
though of slight benefit to big bust
ness would undoubtedly have a con-
structive effect on sentiment. American
Can rallied IA to 104la or six points
above the low of the week; Bald
win closed two points higher at 1927
after having sold a point above that,
and United States Steel common regis
tered a fractional gain at 977s.
The rise in Pan American issues,
which closed about IL points higher,
was generally attributed to speculative
expectation of a favorable 1923 earn
ings statement, and reports of large
current earnings. other strong spots in
the oil group were Atlantic Refining,
Cosden, Phillips Petroleum and Super
Tor, the last named selling at its high
est price of the year.
Motor and motor accessories shares
strengthened with the rest of the list
despite the circulation OF reports in
the financial district that some of the
large manufacturers were contemplate
ing a five-day schedule during the
summer months. Stewart Warner,
which has been the subject of a num-
Der of bear attacks closed 25s points
higher at 62N. Sugars also improved
despite the recent esta blishment of
new records for the year by the raw
and refined products ..-. .
Strength and activity of high grade
rails testified to the diversion of in
vestment funds into those issues. Nor

BUTTER IS EASIER
/ AS RECEIPTS GROW
Outstanding Demand For StOr-
age Purposes Lacking

CHICAGO, May 24.-Heavier receipts
and increasing stocks made the butter
easier and more unsettled during the
week. There was no outstanding de-
mand for butter for storage purposes
owing to the prices, but figures COW
ering the storage movement in ten
markets showed an average increase
Of 100000 pounds daily in net hold
ings.
Some operators felt that increased
production and heavier receipts would
tend to make the markets correspond
ingly easy, while others held that an
increase in demand for storage pur-
poses would counteract the effect of
heavier receipts. Information available
from creameries indicated rapid pro-
duction increase in the immediate flu
ture.
Foreign markets broke sharply with

offerings had little effect on the do

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, May 24.-The market
today was, higher owing to some scat
tered rains in the central belt and
predictions OF colder and unsettled
weather over the weekend. It is so
necessary that the weather give this
crop a chance that the reappearance of
the unfavorable conditions has an i'm
mediate influence upon prices. Bust
ness was not active, but there was
little disposition to sell with the pos
sibility of bad weather over the week
end. especially as this is the time for
the making up OF the next government
condition figures due on the second
June. A rather better feeling is re-
ported the last few days in domestic
dry goods circles, owing to the slow
growth OF conviction that it is quite
possible we may have another short
crop of cotton. This has not resulted
Ia. any material advances, but is so
far manifest only in steadiness and
in a slightly better inquiry for goods
The market at the beginning of the
week will be much influenced by the
weather conditions over Sunday, as we
would expect prompt reselling should
the bad weather fail to materiaIIze.
There is little or no change in specula-
tive sentiment which continues against
the market. Liverpool futures are due
