Cotton —The Times-Plcayune placet the cotton condition at 67.4 per cent of normal In Us crop estimate. The Journal of Commerce report shows a surprising Improvement in Texas and Oklahoma. In the Cotton Markets NEW YORK, June I.—Members of the cotton exchange today voted unanimously to change the by-laws specifying a form ' of contract according to*the specifications set forth in the rider to the wheat purchase act, which expired last night. Uncertainty regarding the legal status of the contract forced the closing of the cotton exchange today, but the opinion was expressed that the market would resume trading tomorrow. The style of contracts as provided in (federal statutes eliminated several grades of cotton from those which would constitute a delivery on contracts. The fear that sharp traders could set a claim in law that the expiration ol federal statute automatically caused a reversion to the old style contracts caused the authorities of the exchauge to believe that It would be safer to have the kinds of contracts which would constitute delivery specified by a vote or the members. NEW ORLEANS, June I.—Cotton futures were dull today, opening 8 points higher to 29 points lower and advancing 5 to 14 points further. On continued favorable weather reports* prices later declined 8 to 40 points below the opening levels. The market closed quiet, 19 to 32 points net lower. Open. High. Low. Close.

[email protected] [email protected] 14.00014.60 Receipts, 6,000, with 1,100 left over; market, 10c lower. The comparatively large holdover from yesterday gave buyers the upper band in the hog market this mornng and a decline of 10c was effected In the general run of prices. The day’s recepts were of desrable quality and the demand wa9 fair, both of whch served to support the market after the 10c decline. Most attention was given good heavies and mixed lots, with little Interest in roughs and pigs, which displayed an easier tone. The bulk of good hogs went at $14.75, although a few sa.es of extra choice stock were made at $14.85. Shippers were active in the day's dealings. Cattle. Receipts, 600; market, 25c higher. A good demand existed for the better grades of cattle, particularly good steers, and sellers had no trouble In disposing of their stock at the outside price, if quality warranted. The market for the less desirable grades were rather draggy. and while the general range was undisturbed, most or the trading was done at the inside figure. Calves. Receipts. 600; market 50c@$l higher. A sharp demand for calves for eastern shipment caused another upturn in prices, with the best veals bringing sls 50016. Several sales of fancy’calves were made at $16.50, while keen competition for a small lot of extra choice stock sent the price for the lot to sl7. The spirited bidding on the choice stuff was by buyers wishing to top out with the better stuff, shipments destined for the east. Lightweights brought a dollar more on | the inside at $10012.50. Sheep and Lambs. Receipts. 100; market weak. Substituted recessions were scored in sheep prices all along the line, several grades selling as much as $lO2 below the levels of the previous session. Stocks in the pens were much larger than requirements, and buyers had little trouble In getting all they wanted at $7.50 08 for good sheep. There was a slight flrmiug up In spring lambs, the range being $14016. HOGS.

CORN SHORTS IN PANIC TO COVER Lack of Selling Pressure Features Trading. CHICAGO, June I.—Grain options bulged 7 cents for corn and more than 3 cents for oats on the Board of Trade today. Receipts over the double-holiday were decidedly disappointing; selling pressure was lacking from the start; buying by a number of strong commission houses was persistent, and with many stop loss orders uncovered a little buying was sufficient to cause a sharp advance. Bulk of the selling was of a local character with a fair volume around $1.72 for July corn on resting orders. I Crop reports from Indiana were rather unfavorable for oats and interest centered ! largely in September, with one large local I operator reported a continual buyer of i the distant future. At the eise July corn was 6%06%c above Saturday’s finish, and September was up 4%05%c. July oafs finished 3c higher and September 2%c up. Pork finished 15c lower to 5c higher; lard 2%®12%c down and short ribs 5@ 17%c off. | Receipts at the eight leading western j markets for the three days were only ! 1,157 cars. i Weather was unsettled, but warm. | Corn planting is progressing where i not Interfered with by rain, but in lli llnols Is fifteen days later than last year.

Three Big j Questions If you are a prudent citizen you ask three big questions about the stock in which you are asked to invest your savings: 1. Will my principal be safe? 2. Will the income be reg- # ular? 3. Can I get my money out of it quickly in case of emergency? If “yes” is the answer to each of these queries then the investment is safe and conservative. Our stock is a safe and conservative investment” for these reasons: 1. The principal is safe because it is employed in loans on liouses under construction. 2. The income is regular because we turn our capital from two to four times a year. 3. These things being true our stock is in demand and can be readily sold.
