chicago May 17.--Wheat-Prices were
higher at all times to-day than they were
yesterday. The full strength of the session
was concentrated near the close. The start
was full cent above the final quotations
OF yesterday with July at from 6gIsdGgIbc
The buying for half an hour was enor-
nous country orders, local orders and
snort demands were large and confused
mat II was impossible to distinguish one
from the other In the pit Individual oper-
atoms were lost sight Of in the board of
trade. After the lapse of half an hour, af-
tairs quleted a little. and then holders Of
long stin came on the market feeling justi-
fed In securing profits. On this selling l5sc
loss from the outside point (70C) for July
was made. Nearing the close, the buying
fever came on the market again, prices adj
vancing and traversing the entire previous
range July fnally reaching 70A-2c higher
than the low point of the day, but easing
off few fractions before the close. Crop
damage stories were abundant to-day, in
terest centering in those relative to the
Hessian fly in Indiana. The range of July
was between 6Sl2c and 70&sc, and the close
at 7Olsn70Mc-lhc higher than yesterday
In the sample lot department sales aver
aged lc higher than yesterday the nomi-
nal close being fully two cents higher than
that Of yesterday.
Corn-The receipts of corn. immediate
and prospective counted for more In that
market than did the good effects Of the
soaring wheat market. a faint effort was
made at the start 10 follow in the footsteps
of the advancing finer grain, but buyers
soon relinquished their endeavors to bring
the market into l!ne and turned sellers

closing al 5ll2M5l9sc-hc lower than yester-
day Cash prices were easy. sales ranging
from yesterdays quotations to i4c lower.
Oats-The only effect of the bulge I'm
wheat was to hold oats steady. Interest in
the business was diverted by the impor
tant market and the trading was light
July oats closed HGhc higher than yester-
day Cash oats were easy at yesterdays
prices
Provisions-A very light run of hogs at
the yards higher prices and the bull move
ment in wheat furnished the strength to
maintain steady TO firm values in product.
There was no large or attractive trade,
packers selling some with the miscellan-
eous business Pork and ribs were easier
and lard firm. July pork lost 2i2c for the
day; July ribs a fraction and July lard
closed 2i5c higher.
