A few issues moved against the

Market listlessness reflected a gen.
eral unwillingness of traders to get
far from shore in view of added
tension over latest war and diplo-
matte moves in the Near East and
reports of growing strain in Ger
man-RusSian relations.
Some foreign loans in the Eu-

Canada Gets Crude Oil
From u. 5. Pipe Line
By the Associated Press.

6S the ASSCCldIeu Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 10. An
authoritative source said here yes
terday that crude oil from South
American and United States fields
has been pumped into Canada
through pipeline connection
across the border at Port Huron,
Mich, since last December.
The line, carrying oil at the rate
of 81 miles an hour, is operated by
the Imperial Oil Co, of Sarnia,
Ontario, this source said.
Until a month ago when so Amer
ican tankers were transferred to the
British service, the oil came from
South America by tanker to Marcus
Hook, Pa, and was transferred to
the pipe line there.
The spokesman said that after the
shortage Of tankers made it impos-
sible to supply the line from South
America, the Mid-Continent Pc
froleum Corp, with Offices in Balti-
more, agreed to furnish the oil,
pumping it from Southwestern
United States fields to the border
connection at Port Huron.
The Marcus Hook leg of the line,
meanwhile, was taken out of service.

NEW YORK, June l9.-Cotton
f1uctuated nervously over a fairly
wide range today.
Rallies and declines came in quick
succession as traders adjusted po-
sitionS.
Favorable weather conditions and
continuation of Wednesdays
liquidation movement forced prices
down about SITS bale from recent

Later, however, pressure subsidized
and the market regained virtually
all of the decline on a resumption

placement support.
Late prices ranged l point lower

The rally was extended in the last
