28-7/8 29-1/8 up 3/8 The market opened 1/8 cent higher for "spot," 3/18 cent higher for July/September and 1/4 cent higher for October/December de- Hvertes as compared with Friday's closing rates.
Early in the session the market ruled firm. Substantial orders for immediate and forward deliveries for trade and speculative accounts Induced sellers to adopt a reserved attitude. Consequently it was dif- -foult to arrange business
The better sentiment was caused by avernight cable-reports on the conclusion of an Anglo-American agreement to barter 600,000 bales of American Cotton for 80.000 tons of British Grude-Rubber. It "would quantity that the required. also reported probably be produced under a special quota release by the LR.R Committee, such Rubber to be stored as a war reserva for seven years' and not to be sold to the trade, if no war would arise during this period. In this event it is believed in trade-circles that the barter will ultimately prove to be a price-hardening factor.
The more optimistic outlook was also aided by reports of a fur- ther fair increase in American Motorcar-production for the week end--- ing June 23rd.
Towards the close of the Session, however, the higher price-level tended to attract speculative liquidation, resulting in a slight set- Back of 1/8 cent for all deliveries.
Closing tone was quietly steady.

With initial prices slightly marked down, to-day's market display- ed an easy appearance and ruled somewhat irregularly. throughout. However, a firming tendency was evinced towards the close, and prices recovered and stood at their best levels of the day. On the whole, fluctuations were confined to a narrow range. The subsidy question was a bolstering factor.
