CHICAGO June 3-Consderable life was in
jected into the grain market today, the excite
ment running high at times, particularly during
the middle session, when prices for wheat were
ruling strong and higher The fluctuations were
wide and rapid, and the nervousness was attr-
buted in large part to the outcome of the crop
situation The market rose 1sc upon reports of
ravages by the Hessian fly in the Southwestern
fields. which was deemed strong advance in
view of the recent depression shown by the
market. and it was ascribed to the action of
large number of bears" who were sent into a
panic by the news and impelled into
covering their short sales More outside
orders are reported however coming
from people who entertain the belief
that the crop outlook is particularly
gloomy one, and that short crop meant higher
prices than have prevailed during the present
crop year The cables continue to quote dull
and weak markets, though private advices were
indicative of a little steader feeling abroad.

and under pretty fair offering prices declined &c.

up, and, with higher and advancing market at

to this fact prices advanced early a lie, fell
