It shows how many (of the July contracts I presume wanted or stood for delivery). Because its a July contract and June don't trade anymore. Perhaps actually delivering the metal takes a month, I don't know.
So, the 9,344 contracts that you noted are the cumulative number of July contracts that wanted delivery. It hasn't happened yet though and they all have to wait in line at the end of the month? An odd system but they wanted to make it as difficult as possible.
That's my understanding of it. Further to the point, those numbers represent contracts that made a declaration of intent. After the deadline, there could still be contracts that didn't settle or roll over. They also end up in the waiting for delivery queue as I understand it. 9344 may not be the final tally.
