NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, June a.
Trade attention conferred on the
old July cotton contract today be-
cause tomorrow is first notice day
in that delivery. Old July advanced
two points but the balance of the
list lost one to five points.
Support represented trade cover
ing and evening up in July.
Dealers anticipated issuance of
tenders tomorrow but the general
impression around the ring was
that July contracts are strongly
held.
Hedge selling and early foreign
liquidation accounted for most of
the pressure but interest in new
crop months was skinny.
Cotton dealers said tenders of
the spot month will be readily
taken up. Demand for spot cotton
has been in the upgrade recently
as activity expanded in cloth mar
kets and expectations grew that
the national defense program will
stimulate use of the staple.
At the same time repossessions
of cotton from the government
loan have been held down by the
current relatively low price for fu-
lures.
No exports Saturday; season 50
far 6,248, 495 bales. Port receipts
3,074; port stocks 2,502, 534.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June "a -R- Wheat
prices fell IL to 7-8 cent in the
first few minutes Of trading today
largely because of beneficial rains
over the weekend in the spring
wheat belt and then spent the rest
of the session working back to
around Saturdays close.
Buying credited to mills in con-
nection with government purchas-
es of white flour for relief dis
tribution helped the rally. Failure
Of the new wheat movement to ex'
pand materially and reports Of rust
damage in soft and hard winter
wheat areas added to the mar
ket's strength. At one time during
the session prices showed net gains
CT as much as 3-8 to SO cent.
Wheat closed IA lower to 1t
higher compared with Saturday,
July 70 SO to 3-4, September rs
7-8 to 80. Corn finished 1-S to
1-8 lower, July 81 "a, September
go 1-8; oats 3-8 to IL off; rye I'M
changed to IA up and lard un
changed to 2 lower.
Weekend rains were both bear
ish as far as grain prices were
concerned. While fair to good mois'
ture over much of the spring wheat
one was welcome and likewise
helped corn, rains in parts Of the
southwest and in the soft wheat
belt delayed harvest and maturity.
However, fair weather was predic'
ted for most of the belt.
