Chicago, June 5.-W heat prices climbed
higher to-day, the strength and advance
being the result Of the poor average on
the crop shown by the Ohio. Indiana and
Missouri reports issued during the past

showed falling off, and the probability

forced to admit a decline in the general
average of winter wheat of from at least
five to seven points. The shorts were, at

market as buyers. July oats closed a
shade lower than yesterday. Cash oats
were steady.
Provisions-The strength of wheat aid
