Chicago, May 20.-The Hessian fly was
the topic on the board of trade floor to-
day, and, incidentally, It caused prices to
advance moderately. Reports from diff
ferent states, principally Indiana ana
Michigan, to the effect that insect was
working havoc with wheat were numer-
Gus and We're exploited industriOusiy by
interested parties. Shorts are now pro-
ceeding with great caution. The start
was rather weak ana IL was some time
after the opening before the hrmness re-
ferred to became at all pronounced july
wheat opened from 6iikN6iSsc. sold be-
tween 6lssc ana G23s062lac closing at 62n
62lsc-3sMl2c higher than yesterday. Cash
wheat was firm and &c per bushel higher.
Corn acted with its customary regard
for the tone and feeling Of wheat. Sym
pathy with that grain was the sole infu-
ence at work in the market. The move
ment was slow and l!feless. July corn
opened a 291ac, sold at 293sc closing at
the latter, shade over yesterday. Cash
corn was steady to firm; prices in some
instances being fractionally higher
Oats derived ENCOURAGEMENT from the
better tone Of wheat, but trade was too
small to attract any attention or arouse
any interest. Prices were generally steady.
July oats closed unchanged from yester-
day. Cash oats were firm at yesterdays
prices.
Provisions-The hog receipts this morn>
ing were away and beyond the most ex-
traVagant estimates of what they would
be. Forty thousand arrived and the enor-
nous influx had the effect Of depressing
prices at the yards from 5I10c per 100
pounds. Under the circumstances. il was
but natural that product should suffer
depreciation Everything declined on SELF
ing prompted by the decentralization I'm
the hog market. July pork closed l50G
ll52c lower. July lard 7lac lower and July
ribs 10c lower
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing
