COTTON PRICES
TURN HIGHER

NEW YORK, June 1 G.N.SJ.
A firm tone prevailed in the cot
ton ring today, as moderately good
buying from speculative sources
and domestic mills turned the list
higher. A further sensational rise
in wheat aided the upturn in cot
ton.
Trading was not very active on
the call, but the local list chalked
up overnight gains of three to five
points. After the strong opening
of wheat, however, there was an
appreciate influx of buying from
speculative interests which pushed
prices rapidly higher.
Demand came principally from
Wall Street, professionals, wire
houses and the foreign and domes-
tic trade. Selling was negligible
aside from scattered offerings by
New Orleans and the South.
Traders were interested in the
crop report of large commission
house which noted a probable de-
crease of 27.9 per cent in acreage
this season. Reports from cor
respondents, the firm stated, indi-
cate that the total acreage planted
to cotton is 20, 49, 900 acres, COM
pared with the revised planted
acreage last year of 1000
acres.
The condition of the portion of
the crop that is up to stand
is placed at 70 per cent of normal,
slightly above the 10-year average
condition. Based on past expert
ence, the report noted, a condi-
ton of 70 per cent on May 81,
would indicate a crop of l1,122.-
900 bales, against the revised eSti-
mate of last year of 13,047 900
bales.
Around the noon hour, futures
were IS to Is points higher, with
July up Is at 1883; October, up
IS at 11.73, December up Is at
11.S5, and January up Is at 1871.

CATTLE BUYING
PLAN FORMED

Officials of the AAA and Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admins
tration are rapidly completing
plans to launch the emergency
cattle purchase program by Fri
day. 1t is estimated nearly
100000 head of cattle will be
slaughtered in drought parched
States of the West and Midwest.
AAA has further modified
wheat, corn-hog and tobacco ad-
juStment contracts to remove all
restrictions on the planting and
harvest of forage crops, includ-
ing corn for fodder and grain
sorghums, on all general or non
contracted" acres on farms under
adjustment contracts in the
drought areas.
Restrictions on the contracted
or rented acreage retired from
production of "basic" commod-
tiles under the adjustment pro-
grams have also been modified
to permit planting and harvest
of all forage crops. except corn
and grain sorghums, and to per-
NIT paSturing.
However, many officials feel
modification of the contract rul-
ings to permit planting and har-
vest of forage crops will be of
little aid to farmers unless rain
comes soon. The soil in the
harder hit areas is now too dry
for seed to terminate.
The cattle purchase program
will begin in the 127 counties
(which the AAA has designated as
emergency drought areas. A total
of 302 counties in IL States
have been designated to date as
official drought areas. 1t is
planned that other counties will
be added as the drought spreads.
The cattle will be bought on
a selective basis, with prices
ranging from 81 a head for
calves to $40 a head for older
cattle.
, Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
ton has announced bids will be
opened here on June 2 for
processing cattle and calves pur.
chased in the drought areas
Cattle unfit for food purposes
will be destroyed on the farms.

FORD 1883 LOSS
REDUCT ION
IS SHARP

The report of the Ford Motor
Company filed with the MaSsa-
chusetts commissioner of corpora
tons. showed net loss Of 1923
524 for 1888 compared with an
indicated loss of $74,861, 644 in
1892.
Ford'S sales last year amounted
to = roughly $4,000 cars and
trucks compared with about 1885,
900 units in 1892. In other words,
on an increase Of approximately
100000 units in sales, Ford'S net
results improved by more than
$4,000, 900 or by about $700 for
leach unit increase in sales.
Costs Cut
While this method of calcula-
ton ignores Ford'S substantial
revenues from sales Of parts and
other products, it reveals con-
vincingly the effect Of the
thorough overhaul of costs carried
out in the Ford plants during the
latter part Of 1882.
A similar reflection of an i'm
proved operating position is given
by comparison of last years indi-
Gated results with those Of 1881.
In that year, with sales of ap-
proXimately 100000 units, loss
of $53,586,00 was indicated.
Despite a reduction of about 80
per cent in last years unit car
sales from 1881, a reduction of
almost $50,000,000 in losses was
accomplished.
Advance Sharply
Ford's sales so far this year
have been running more than
$50 per cent in advance of the
like period of 1888 and by the
end of May had reached roughly
, so per cent of Ford's total unit
volume for the full year 1888.
~ AS a salient part of its program
to recover a larger share of the
total automobile market, Ford has
not followed the general upward
price movement in the automo-
bile industry despite higher ma
teria1 costs and a substantial in
crease in daily wage rates put
into effect in March. On the
other hand, by avoiding any SUBJ
sta11tial changes on the 1884 line
of Ford cars. no large expense for
new tools and dies were neceSSi-
tated this year.
Cash Profit
Ford's balance sheet indicates
that the company actually oper-
ated at a cash profit during 1898.
With cash, securities and accounts
receivable increasing to 43,000,-
600 from 5000, $4,000 at the end
of 1888, indicated net current as
sets at the close of 1888 were
$353,513,00O compared with $751;
$4,000 at the close of 1892, an
increase of $21,519,000 for the
year. Allowances for depreciation
in excess of expenditures on plant
apparently were responsible for
this showing and were reflected
in a reduction in book value of
real estate, plants, machinery and
equipment. Inventories declined
to $48,537 900 from $58,344, 900
during the year.

new TEST SEEN
FACING MART
BY THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June Q.N.S0.
The market is washing away
wha little improvement in senti-
ment and prices occurred since
the close of last week. The low
volume indicates that there isn't
much stock pressing for sale.
At the same time, the new
labor crisis in the textile and
steel industries scared away what
few buyers there were around.
It looks as though the recent
lows are in for another test.
U. S. Steel slid to a new low
without causing a ripple.
Apparently some more disguised
selling came into the stock as a
result Of the news. Those blocks
in the afternoon at 3912 repre-
sented short covering by a big
floor trader, who took advantage
of a few thousand shares that
came in for sale.
There is some speculation on
what effect high-priced corn will
have on Corn Products. If the
company has a big inventory, it
will benefit. On the other hand,
if it has continued the practice
of buying little ahead, it may
hurt, for it is going to become
more difficult to raise prices for
a while.
Westinghouse is apparently be.
ing helped market-wiSe by esti-
mates that it will show some
thing on the common this quar-
ter.
Despite favorable House action
on the silver bill, U. S. Smelling
sold only once yesterday.
