*2 points net higher. This advance carried
Joly contracts ”p to 25.&> and October to 25.4>>.
with all deliveries making new high records
for the- season. Private condition figures in
dicating very little improvement in crop pros
pects were probably a factor both here and
in laverpool.' while' Liverpool wa« al*> influ
enced by -he advance »t ocean freight rate*.

priees were reached, with July selling at 25.M0

showing a net advance of S 3 to IOC point* be
fore midday.
After selling at 25AS for Julv and -* *2 sot
December the market reacted 15 or 2<i points
from the beet with trading comparatively quiet

MEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS. June 18.—Cotton advanced
strongly on this market today, rising 7 8 to 85
points In the first half hour of business, as
the result of ’he extremely wide rise in Eng
Iteh prices The market was quiet at the ad
vance. a small demand being met by scanty
offerings. _ * _..
On very quiet trading -J>e advance was wid
ened 90 to 112 points by the noon hour. Poor
crop accounts and a private bureau report on
condition, showing an improvement of only 1.4
pointa for .he balf-mooth. stimulated the
ma nd. which was met by a small supply of
contracts. The market showed little excite
ment at ’he advance.
The tone was dull but steady in the after
noon. with very little price change. At 1:30
the market showed a net rise of 96 to 118
points.

JOHN F. CLARK B COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS. June 18.—The drastic ac
tion of Liverpool again shows that improve
ment in traffic conditions is still prospective.
That market thia morning showed 109 to 103
English points advance, closing at the best,
while spots are quoted 94 up, 18d for middling,
equal to about ;15%c.
The loss of several cotton cargoes is re
ported. one of the most important losses be
ing the steamship Mississippi. Covering agalust
these losses and rush buying hy the trade in an
ticipation of government restrictions for op
erating in staple necessities may have been the
chief factors in the frantic advance in Liv
erpool.
Political news is mixed. While news from
Russia is better there sre n-ports of r-vo
lutiouary moves in China, unrest in Spain—
a threatened cabinet crisis In Italy.
The senate passed the priority shipping bill
empowering the president to direct shipments
of commodities essential to the prosecution of
the war.
While weather conditions have improved in
so far as temperatures have risen closer to
normal, the map shows no rain in the belt.
Indications are for increasing cloudiness west
with a tendency to become unsettled, partly
cloudy in the central and eastern belt; some
scattered showers.
Our market opened 40 points up on July and
70 points up on new crops, eased a little and
then experienced another sudden advance which
tarried July to 25.10 and October to 24.98.
Trading was rather quiet, but selling has be
come so intimi-lated that there is a decided
•can-ity of contract* and little buying causes
an advance.

CHICAGO, June 18. —Large world shipments
tended today to ease down the wheat market.
Opening prices which ranged from % to 2%
cents lower, with July at (2.19 anil September
at (1.95. were followed ty a slight rally aud
then a fresh setback.
Subsequently further declines took place In
wheat Influenced by estimates that North
America and Argentina would have a net In
crease of 150.000,000 bushels in the exportable
surplus thia season as compared with last
year. Prices closed heavy, 10%c to 10%c net
lower, with July at $2.11% and September
at $1.85.
Favorable weather had only a transient bear
ish effect on corn. Offerings were scarce, and
the market soon made a sharp rally. After
opening unchanged to 2 cents lower, prices rose
all around to well above Saturday’s finish.
Realizing sales on the part of longs finally
led to a pronounced break in corn. The mar
ket closed weak at 1c to 2%C net decline.
Oats were governed by the action of corn.
Firmness of the hog market upheld pro
visions.

SSOO,OOO7ORIiuARANTI N E
AGAINST PINK BOLL WEEVIL
Secretary Houston, in Letter
to Chairman Lever, Asks
This Amount
WASHINGTON, June 18.—An imme
diate appropriation of ‘(500,000 for an
effective Texas border quarantine
against the pink boll worm of cotton in
Mexico, to supplant the $50,000 appro
priated in the annual agricultural bill
for the coming fiscal year, was asked
of congress in a letter which Secretary
Houston sent Chairman Lever, of the
house agriculture committee today. A
deficiency appropriation probably will
be made.
While the pink boll worm so far has
gained only a slight foothold on the
border, causing a quarantine of a small
area in Texas heretofore, the depart
ment of agriculture officials fear its
spread with large damage unless there
is some quick, drastic action.
The small appropriation in the cur
rent agricultural act was to meet the
emergency caused by the existence of
the pest in Mexico and the movement of
500 carloads of cotton seed from the
infested districts in Mexico to milling
points in Texas and elsewhere. It was
to enable the secretary of agriculture to
prohibit movement of cotton and cotton
seed from Mexico into the United
States, inspection of cotton fields and
watching of the situation generally.
Since hten the spread ofthe Insect has
alarmed the federal officials.
