CHICAGO. June 4.-There was an unlimited
number of bull rumors On the floor of the En-
change to-day as affecting the wheat sltua-
ton, and rs consequence there was buoy
aucY eXh blted in the market such as has not
been previously witnessed in number OF
weeks, and in sharp contrast to the depression
which prevailed at the beginning of the pres
ent week; yesterday afternoon the market
was sold down upon rumOTS that cholera had
appeared in France, the July option touching
S63sc; denial of this and the advent OF very
gloomy crop reports this morning set the tide
strongly in the other direction and prices rose
sharply and almost continuously, closing
within fraction Of the highest f1ures OF the
day; the bears fought the advance very stead
lily, but when the market had advanced
point aud remained firm they were oVertaken
by panic ana covered freely during the re-
malnder of the session; the market closed to-
night nearly 4c above the bottom prices cur
rent last Monday; the revulslon has been so
great as TO disconcert the average trader on
the bear side of the market, as the change IN
temper was beyond precedent in view of the
GacL that no new facts concerning the crop
have been develOoed beyond those generally
recognized by traders for several weeks; II IS
explained, however, that the outlook for the
growing wheat has latterly become so dubious
that a strong bull party has finally come into
the market in the full belief that higher prices
will necessarily prevail as result OF the
shortage In American and European crops;
the strongest feature IN tO-daY's trading was
the statement that the June report would
show that Kansas would not raise a crop To
exceed l3,000,0,0 bushels, against 100000.
last year, and it was freely predicted that the
governments report for June would disclose
decrease of 20,000,0O0 to 30,OOO,OO0 IN the
probable winter wheat yield as compared TO
the May report; the quantity of wheat on
ocean pas sage also showed a decrease Of ,0Q0,-
600 bushels, and the statement was made that
shipments Of wheat from the Northwest TO
primary receiving points had dropped of very
largely, farmers holding for higher prices; the
market rapidly advanced from the opening TO
a point % over the latest figures of yester
day, eased off &c, again advanced &c, nuctu-
ated, sold OFF &c, and closed on the regular
board 2lsc over yesterday; on the afternoon
