HESSIAN FLY DAMAGE IN SOME PARTS OF KANSAS.

WEATHER BULLISH FOR CORN

Some New High Prices Made at the Stockyards

Jamee K. Maaon, of Milton, a member of the laat state legislature, carrlda off honors when hp sold a Shorthorn steer at the local stockyards to Ktngan & Co. at 911.00 a hundred pounds, which is as high as cattle ever sold on this market, the former sale at fll.OO, having been made December 14. 1915. for a yearling weighing 1,140 pounds. Mason’s Shorthorn weighed 1,300 pounds, was two years old and had been fed on ensilage, clover hay, cottonseed meal and bran for 240 days. The rest of the cattle fed by Mr. Mason did not do 80 well In feeding and sold at

910,35.

One of the best droves heer was made up of nineteen yearling Hereford steers and heiferm. some grade cows and a registered bull. They were raised and fed by Boyd Williams, of Owen county. They averaged 781 pounds and sold to the Indianapolis AbsAtotr Company at 19.76, which Is the highest price paid for a drove of that kind of cattle In the history of the mar-

ket. _

Thomson & McKinnon’s Grain Letter.

—June 0-

Wheat—A thoroughly sold-out position was uncovered in wheat at the opening, prices responding readily to commission demand, in which exporters were prominent The decline in Liverpool was Ignored. as it was due to weakness in freights, this condition being construed as ultimately bullish. Ocean rates to English ports are about 28 cents, as against 38 to 40 cents recently, while rates to France and Mediterranean ports are stronger, being quoted at 90 cents a bushel. ConUuued wet and cold in the. northwest and isolated claims of fly in the southwest helped the market to some

extent

Milling demand was Improved, sales from this market being 76,000, with premiums slightly better. Beyond a reported sale of 200,000 hard winter from Omaha to Baltimore, nothing was heard of export business. Winnipeg said that foreigners were buyers of the futures on the breaks only and that no outside speculation was in 9he market. This condition comes to exftt here, there being nothing radical In sight to attract a buyer. Market gives evidence of having touched low point and, being thoroughly liquidated, is in position to respond to bullish items. Believe the buying side should be given preference in a conserv'ative way. Corn^UneaSiness is expressed over a portion of the corn belt owing to lateness of season and continuation of comparatively low’temperature with heavy rains. Shorts were covering generally, market condition, aa in wheat, being a soid out one. Cash demand showed material improvement not only here, but in Interior markets, at which places south was overbidding us. Sales, spot, reported 150,000. Peoria Interests are not securing .suit!dent com to meet the daily needs, and It Is probable that they will have to draw upon the Chicago supply. Farmers are not selling, owing to the decline In price, and the holding attitude will be Intensifled by existing weathet.=fionditlon8. Market likely to do better while this situation (^ts—Volume of trade in oats quite limited, prices higher with com and under brisk domestic demand, together with some export business. Total sales from here. 560,000i including 200,000 to exporters. Country selling very sparingly. Provisions—Support from local operators and packers developed on the break brought about by a decline of SSc to 40c In hogs since Friday. Cash situation In cured meats suggests higher prices ultimately. Fifteen thousand hogs today; 91,000 tomorrow.

CHICAGO, June 6.—Active foreign buy’Ing here, together with a scarcity of offerings, lifted the wheat market today after prices had shown a tendency to waver at the outset. Suggestions that the European denand was in some way connected with the disaster to Lord Kitchener failed to be confirmed. On the contrary, several trade authorities here were inclined to the view that his death. If It had any effect on prices, would count on the side of the bears. Opening quotations, which ranged from %c decline to %c advance, were followed by a decided general upturn. No Important reaction took place, the market being upheld by reports that as a i-esuit of Hessian fly damage Kansas wheat in some distric ts wa.s falling down. Besidea, advices weie at hand that the Ohio c.'op vas the poorest in years. 'The close was strong, 214®2»4c net advance. Unfavorable weather had a bullish influence on corn. Buying, however, was not of an aggressive character. After opening %c to higher, the market continued to harden. Scantiness of rural offerings acted as a handicap to the bears. The close was steady at 'js^lc net advance. Oats rose with other cereals. Nevertheless, as in corn, trade lacked volume. Lower prices on hogs carried down provisions. About the only demand was from shorts.

LONDON STOCKS SUBDUED.

Discuasion of Kitchener's Death interferes With Trading. ' LONDON, June 6.—The stock maj-ket opened with a good tone and a general ■hardening of values, especially in gilt edged securities, consols and the war loan while Russian Issues were supported on the war news, but the whole market was shocked in the afternoon by the news of Lord Kitchener’s death. There was little weakness, but business dried up as groups discussed the loss of the country’s great man. The market closed subdued, but steady. Shipping shares were strong features. American rails and bonds were more active owing to the mobilization committee being flooded with securities as a result of the publication of the first list of 167 dollar securities In which the special tax is payable.

NEW RECORDS FOR SUGARS

.\sid(» from early gams in the more speculative* i8.eue.«. most of vvhu'h were later lost, todays professional n'aiKet was devoid of .substantial feature. NEW YORK, June 6.—Wall street knew of the reported fate of Earl Kitchener and his staff half an hour before tho market opened, by which time newsboys were shouting the meager details throughout the financial district. In banking circles and on the slock exchange the tragedy formed almost the one topic of discussion and was regarded as a blow to the cause of the allies. The market itself was scarcely affected at the outset, beyond some slight irregularity which was more than neutralized by tha strength of certain specialties. There was no trace of the excitement and urgent liquidation that characterized last Friday’s news of the naval battle in the North sea. The irregular trend was seen in the heaviness of Mercantile Marine, while United Fruit was strong. There were further substantial gains in the motor and sugar issiues, as well as Crucible Steel, Harvested, United States Smelting and other specialties. Rails Move Upward, Leading stocks recovered from their uncertain course toward midday. Norfolk & Western, Reading, Louisville & Nashville and Canadian Pacific moving briskly forward, the flrst named to a new maximum, and carrying other representative rails to higher levels. Meantime a few specialties supplemented opening advances, with new records for sugar issues. Motors were uneven, Wlllys-Overland regaining part of yesterday’s late reversal, with strength and activity in Maxwells and Goodrich, while Chandler broke sharply, reacting about eight points. Some munitions were better by one to two points, with six for Bethlehem Steel. International issues were unaffected by the news from abroad. Bonds were firm. Zinc Issues Gain. Southern and Southwestern rails were active at substantial advances In the early afternoon, with gains In zinc issues, but marines ahd coppers failed to respond to favorable developments. Reversal in Reading and Marine preferred with a further advance in Norfolk '& Western to a new record in(31cated the mixed tone of the late trading.

Covering the Strengthening Factor— Trading is Quiet NEW YORK. June 6.-The cotton market was nerveus and unsettled early today. Early cables from Liverpool made a steady showing, but tho market there was evidently much disturbed by the loss of Lord Kitchener and prices broke sharplv Just before the local opening. First prices here were steady at an advance of 4 point* to a decline of 1 point, but active months soon sold about 2 to 3 points net lower, with July touching 12.61c, October 12.73c and December 12.90c under scattering liquidation. Liverpool was a moderate buyer again to undo straddles, however, and prices steadied at the decline, with general business quiet. Early weather advices indicated heavy gains In parts of the western and central belts, but were otherwise considered favorable. No hea\T offerings developed on the early setback, and the market firmed up toward midday on local covering, which was probably promoted by the continued absence of liquidation on any Important scale and the detailed weather reports showing heavy rains In the gulf district. July sold up to 12.66c and December to 12 96c. or about 2 to 4 points net higher, but the demand soon tapered off and trading was quiet early in the noon hour. Trading continued quiet during the middle of the afternoon, but the tone was firmer, with prices working about 6 to 7 polnta net higher on covering. July sold at 12.70c and October at 12.83c or about 10 points above the low level of the morning. Spot, steady, middling upland, $12.80c. Sales. 1,574 bales. New York Cotton Future*.

AMONG THE WHOLESALERS

According to Indianapoli* jobbers, one article of clotbing that hae not until recently followed the course of other line* In their sharp advances in prices is hosiery. The high cost of yarn and the scarcity and consequent high price of dyes have had their effect, however, and the market now is on the path upward. The failure of hosiery to advance as rapidly as other lines is attributed to the fact that this article of wear is made largely by small manufacturers who are exceed^ ingly numerous over the country and each maker has been reluctant to increase his prices, preferring to accept smaller profits and to retain his business. Now, however, It is said, prices of materials and the cost of making hosiery have advanced until manufacturers have been forced to put their goods on the market at materially higher rates. The advance since the war started ia estimated at an average of 50 per cent and further rises are in sight. Local jobbers complain of the poor quality of dyes used in some classes of goods. It is said that American-made dyes are being used and these do not hold their color as well as some of the imported varieties. Local jobbers in shoes report advanced prices. Although changes are not sharp the trend is still upward and apparently prices will move still higher. It is said that some makers still have holdings of leather and so consequently Trices on shoes have not been advanced in accordance with the quotations on leather, but as old stocks of the latter become exhausted prices of shoes will be raised to meet tho high cost of the raw product Local jobbers report a fairly active market The growing foreign demand for boots and shoes Is shown by the following figures: Exports for nine months ending March. 1916. 15.198.698 paira against 8,646,198 pairs in 1915, and 7,524,826 pairs In 1914. Italy was the best customer, with Chiba next Continued strength* marks the local leather market Deliveries of good* are still exceedingly slow, and, although jobbers are uncertain as to the movement or the market in the future, the trend is still upward and further advances may be made. Here, as well as in other markets, jobbers realize the need of conservatism in buying and there is an almost complete absence of speculation. Imports and exports of hides are largely increased. according to government stallstlCB Dry goods jobbers report a fairly active market. Although retailers are not buying freelv, it is said they show no hesitancy in providing for urgent needs. However, the dye situation Is still more acute, and labor troubles and the resultant Increased cost of manufacturing have all contributed to a generally strong market, and prospects in many lines are for higher prices. Bleached goods are especially strong and denims continue to sell at a high level. Varieties of the latter that normally sell around 10c a yard are now bringing 16c and more a yard. According to one Indianapolis Jobber, expectations of comparatively low prices for brown cotton goods have failed to materialize, due to the fact that new demands have arisen for this class of goods, which is now being sold in exceedingly large quantities to shippers who send goods to Europe in small bags to facilitate the handling of war supplies. Blankets are in great demand for foreign use, some of the Targe manufacturers having almost unlimited orders. Seasonable goods have been selling especially well during the last week, Jobbers report, due to the warm temperatures. Dealers in building supplies report a satisfactory' trade demand showing aome Improvement over a short time ago. While building work Is not unusually active. it is at least normal according to some dealera Improved conditions are the outlook. Dealers In Tinners' supplies are quoting steady prices with the market as a whole strong, although spelter has shown an Inclination to react recently. Jobbers of groceries tell of an improved business, due much to better weather conditions. The business is regarded good for this time in the year. Prices are generally unchanged with a stronger tendency In a few ,ilnei. __
