Later there was brisk buying by shorts in nexpectation of an un favorable weekly weather report, causing an almost complete re covery of the decline. 5 The report, however, made bearish reading except for the mention of increased boll weevil activity in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida and light rainfall in Texas.- This invited fresh selling and diminished support, with the result that values in New York dropped 32 to 89 points before midday. New crop options were under heaviest pressure, During the extreme forenoon' July rallied from 25.55 to 25.75, while October moved up from 23.65 to 23.75 and December from 23.30 to 23.35. Builish technical conditions and firmness of spots held the market steady during the afternoon, with Oc tober in pest demand. Shorts were the leading buyers. The close was steady, at a net decline of 19 to 52 points. The Atlanta Commercial Exchange lowered spots 20 points to 29.50 cents a pound in sympathy with easiness in futures, while the warehouse quoted the staple 25 points lower at 29 3-4 cents. 5 P " i ' WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT. - Following is the Government’s weather and crop report, covering pe riod from Wednesday, Jung 5, to Tuesday, June 11: The weekly mean temperatures were generally slightly above normal. They ranged from 74 o 78 degrees in the northern half and from 78 to 82 in the southern half of the cotton region. Precipitation occurred practi eally throughout the cotton re gion. The weekly amounts ex ceeded one inch over much of the . northwestern portion of the cot ton region, considerable areas along the Mississippi River and . the greater portions of the south eastern and Atlantic coast 4is tricts.

Precipitation was light in Central and extreme Southern Texas, Western Louisi ana and. Eastern South Cayrolina. The greatest weekly amount was 5.80 at Pauls Valley, Okla. Seasonal temperatures and well-distributed showers made excellent growing * weather throughout the cotton belt and cotton made rapid- advancement. It is mostly well cultivated and + generally free from grass, except in restricted areas, where labor is scarce. The crop is somewhat late in Texas, but the stand is good. Plants are fruiting well in the southern portions of the belt and forming squares well in the north. 801 l weevils are becoming numerous In the southern por tions of Georgia, Alabama and Mississiopi. = s TEXAS SHORT OF RAIN. According to Government official records, Texas rainfall for the month of May was 2.38 inches, which is 1.26 inches below normal. Wednesday's weekly weather report said precipi tation was light in” the central and extreme southern part of Texas. Commenting on this season’s crop prospects and lmrortance of subsoil moisture, especially in Texas, The New York Commescial says: 2 Improverent in the cotton crop is overshadowed by technical market conditions so that traders are likely to overlook the contin uous progress of the plant virtu ally all over the belt. Condition of 82.3 as' of May 25 was 3.3 points above the ten-year average, and the prospects are that the condi tion as of June 25, which will be shown in the July report, will be lighter than that reported ear ly this month. Looking back over records of the past, one sees that cotton condition almost invaria-. bly advances during June, which is the best growing month of the year for almost all crops. In the last five years the July condition report invariably has been higher than the June regort, while ifi the last ten years only twice has the July report been lower than that of June. Comparisons are being made with 1911 because of the brilliant crop history of that year. Right here comes in the question of subsoil moisture. The Southwest is still deficient in precipitation, although reecent rainfall has been entirely satisfactory. Last year Texas had fully 16.21 inches of rain, eompared with a ten-year average up to 1915 of 30:44 inches. Now successful crops in the Southwest are largely a matter of subsoil moisture, and unless the deficiency in Texas can be overcome ‘by unusually abundant rainfall the current crop year, subsoil deficiency in Rot August may prove the undoing of the crop.

O AN A ANt b UNFURNISHED, | & \ \ \Strong Techntcal Condmons‘ Brace Market Late—Shorts Leading Buyers NEW YORK, Jun el2.—Lower Liv erpool cables and excellent crop weather in the South checked the de mand at the opening eof the cotton market today, and as a pesult of only a moderate supply the early tone was easy, with prices 17 to 3% points net lower, ’ After the call commission houses with buying orders came into the market and October rallied 7 points, while January rose 8 points, Later tho list reacted 20 to 89 points net, but another active buylng‘ movement deveéloped, with the result that active positions rallied 10 to 18 points from the low levels. Most ot‘ the demand was credited to shorts, | based on expectations of an unfavor able weekly weather report. ‘ The weekly weather report was fa vorable in most parts, causing re newed selling and let-up in buying orders. Values receded 32 to 39 points before midday. From the low levels the market rallled about 10 points. New York 11 a. mi. bids to Liver pool were: July, 25.60; Octobgr, 23.70; January 23.17. X New Orleans 10 a..m. bids to Liv erpool were: July, 26.43; October, 22.88; January, 22.24, _l};ports today were 20,466—coastwise ,404. Oversold condition of the market, together with strong spots, sustained the market during the afternoon. The list recoiled 1 to 20 points from the low levels, with October in the lead. At the close the market was steady, with prices at a net decline of 19 to 52 points from the previous close. | Spot cotton was officially quoted at 60 points 10wer—29.60. § NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.

AR noa\ J 1116-18 Hart m:u ergite é PRICES=PROFITEERINﬁ--CLEWS3‘ R A N A A NAN I AN IS NSNS By HENRY CLEWS, : President Henry Clews & Co., of New York. There are two very encouraging factors in home business af fairs; the outlook for a big cotton erop and also for a large wheat crop, both of which at this period promise to be record breakers. These are two of the most important crops raisedyin the United' States, and their promige of abundance is as encouraging to our Allies as to ourselves. In other respects the crop situation is favor able, and if present expectations are realized they will tend to check hjgh prices and profiteering; for while the Food Adminis. trafion {ms accomplished wonders in the latter direction, the law of supply and demand can not be ignored, and the task of regu lating prices will be much easier under abundance than under scarcity. 3 In all industries pertaining to the war there is intense activity, and ef fort is being steadily shifted from the unnecessary tc the necessary products. One gource of uncertainty has been remov:d, and that is labor, which is displaying a high degree of patriotisin ani stegcily increasing in output, thus offsetting to some extent the losses through drafting into the army. British labor has doubled its output since the war bhegan by means of intense effort and better methods. Such an increase of product here, howewver, is hardly to he expected, for the reason that American labor has long been regarded as more el‘tective{ that British and less inclined to un fair restrictions. ‘ Our industries are still moving in the direction of more absolute Gov ernment control. The steel industry probably will be entirely regulated at Washington within a very short time; and now the textile manufacturers} are looking in the same direction, preferring the uniformity of Govern ment control to the cofusion and un certaities of part Government and part private cotrol, with at the same time widely fluctuating margins ot; profit and labor problems tto contend against. - i In all industrial affairs the pros pects are for stricter Government di rection of both production and dis tribution during the war. Such ef forts were at first restricted to the supplies of raw materials, but are now bein gdirected to not a few semi manufactured products. (Whether Government intervention will extend into retail distribution can ot be fore told. LIVE STOCK MARKET. | CHICAGO, June 12.—Hogs: Receipts, 13,000. Market steady to bc up.

Dakota Makes Record. By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD., CHICAGO, June 12—A wheat crop of 931,000,000 bushels is practically assured-—which is quite large when compared with the 651,000,000-bushel crop of iast-year and a five-year ay erage of §09,000,000 bushels. Kansas led the other winter wheat States, with a total of 97,114,000 bush-/ els, compared with 45,670,000 bushels’ as the total amount . harvested in 1917, The condition of the Kansas crop is now 78 per cent, against a ten year average of 74 per cent. While Kansas leads all other States by a great difference, there are goodly in creases shown on the whole. These increases are in Mlssouri, - linois, Indiana and Ohio, and with but few exceptions there will be more wheat in the winter wheat belt than the farmers as well as the food ad ministration dared to hope for some time since. There was considerable talk of winter killing in some of the States and losses b - drought in some of the other States. Tre spring wheat crop of 344,000,- 000 bushels, against 233,000,000 last year, will prove of great help along with the increase in the winter wheat. North Dakota led the spring wheat States with 92,247,000 bushels, followed by Minnesota with 65,294,000 bushels, South Dakota with 56,963~ 000 bushels and Washington with 33,« 437,000 bushels. Crop experts at Chicago, who are in a pogition to know Better than al most any other interest, advance the opinion that the probabilities are far a 1,000,000,000-bushel wheat ecrop. They point to the fact that while the Government has every facility for ag certaining the actual facts concern ing the crop promise, that a great deal of new ground has been seeded to wheat, and that this will not be heard from fully until the thrashers have finished their work. They re call the improvement in the wheat promise in 1915, when the forecast was for 950,000,000 bushels in June, and the improvement later advanced the crop to 1,025,800,000 bushels, Nearly all of lowa has had teo much rain, and considerable corn in that State is said too have been washed out by the floods, and a great deal of replanting has been done. In other States there is little, said of replanting, and the prospects are dovbtless qnit gcod over nearly the entire corn belt, .
