Wednesday's Closing Quotations

New York, June 2 The cotton market opened quiet with prices moving within a very narrow range, owing to lower Liverpool and Bombay advices. Later, on reports of the Congressional Committee's action on the Agricultural Appropriations—Bill, more distant options advanced strongly. Closing quotations ranged from 1 to 14 points up.

The market for raw rubber future presented a very dull appearance. There was little in the news to affect the market either way, and, at ihe close, quotations ruled from 1 to 3 points down.

Wheat prices in Chicago declined today on reports of favourable wea-ber conditions, the weakness of Winnipeg, selling and liquidation. However, some support was received at the lower levels, but, at the final bell, all positions registered losses of 1 point.
