COTTON is STEADY

BY the ASSOClateu FEeSS'
NEW YORK, June 13.-Cotton
opened steady today at an advance of
S to 10 points owing to a late rally
in Liverpool, rather a less favorable
view of the weather news and continued
talk of a heavy weevil infestation in
the South. Much of the buying was
attributed to covering, but offerings
were light and prices advanced to 1883
for July and 1904 for December. or
about IL to IS points net higher.
Orders seemed to be more evenly
divided at these figures, however, and
the market was quiet at the end OF
the first half houh. with prices showing
slight setbacks. Private cables said
local buying and trade calling had abb
sorbed liquidation in the Liverpool
market, but that sales Of cotton cloths
were unimportant and that yarns were
freely offered.
Trading continued quiet, but offerings
were light and the advance extended to
1872 for July and 1904 for December
during the middle of the morning, or
about IL to Is points net higher. There
was q little more realizing at these
prices and the market slipped on 8
or 4 points from the best, but showed
a generally steady tone around midday.

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June l3.-With offerings
here relatively scarce and with Liver
pool wheat quotations higher than ex-
pected, Chicago wheat prices scored
substantial gains early today. Improved
prospects for enactment of the farm
relief bill helped give a decided upward
trend to values both here and abroad.
Opening % to IL higher, Chicago
wheat afterward continued to climb.
Corn, oats and provisions also were
firmer, with corn starting at " to 1K
advance and subsequently rising still
more.
At noon wheat was IL al * net higher
and corn at 17sa21s advance.
In addition to the STRENGTHENING eff

together with Liverpool quotations
higher than due, advices telling of ur-
gent need of rain In parts Of Canada
were factor here today in lifting the
wheat market. Especially throughout
northern sections of the Canadian wheat
belt moisture was said to be SERIOUSLY
deficient. Argentine cables also referred
to precarious crop conditions because of
excessive dryness.
On the other hand, talk was current
today that all the wheat needed could
be bought free on board vessels In Gal
weston at u cent bushel over the price
of Chicago July delivery. It was added
there was no export demand, but that
wheat was being shipped to Galveston
because that was the only immediate
available storage outlet. When that
opening Is filled, embargoes will
abruptly stop the movement to all ter
minal markets, according to various
predictions circulated here.

DECISIONS ON RAIL
/. MERGERS AWAITED
|. C. C. Confronted With NJ.
merous Requests for
Carrier Combines.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, June 13.-There are
more different kinds of railroad ap-
plications simmering before the Inter
state Commerce Commission in Wash
ington today and more railroad execu-
tives and investors stewing over delayed
action by this body than ever before.
The calendar of the commission is be-
coming as badly clogged as that of a
traffic court. Just how far it will be
relieved before the commission adjourns
for its Summer recess August l is a
matter of considerable consequence to
the railroad world.
The applications that are before the
commission, and which increase in
number each week, represent the various
phases of the Eastern railroad con-
solidation. in which practically every
move has been checkmated by the
Washington authorities.
They include the request of the
Baltimore g. Ohio and the Pittsburgh
g. West Virginia to hold or own the
application of the Van SweringenS
with respect to the investment of their
Allegheny Corporation in >Wheeling &
Lake Erie and the opposition which this
has brought forth from the Taplins;
the effort of the Wabash to enlarge its
scope of operations in the territory be-
tween Buffalo and st. Louis and the
jurisdiction of the commission covering
the Pennsylvania Railroad ownership OF
the Lehigh Valley and the Wabash.
There are also important questions
as to consolidation of railroads in the
Southwest and in the Northwest on
which the commission has given part
of its answer, but has postponed for
many months decision which railroad
interests feel it should have rendered a
long time ago and involving the merger
application of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific lines and their as
sociate. the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy.
limitations have come from Wash
ington recently that the commission will
present its tentative plan OF railroad
consultations, on which 1t has been
working for some time, before 1t ad-
iourns for the Summer. This plan Is
expected to show some rather sharp de-
partures from that originally prepared
under the direction Of Prof. Ripley. The
imminence of such a plan may explain
the delay in rendering decision as TO
the validity of the merger of the North
ern Lines, which is, in the opinion OF
members of the commission, the most
logical that could be arranged AND in
wolves none of the financial compl1ca-
tions that are attached to most OF the
other consolidation schemes.
Obviously if the commission present.
ed a plan which brought under one
control the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington, 1t could not re-
iect the application now pending before
it for a merger Of these carriers.
If the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the next six weeks makes pub
lie its tentative plan for railroad con-
solidation, there will be some relief from
the impasse that has seriously affected
railroad credit for the last two years.

all lines of business and all parts Of
