Chicago, June 9-The ground continues
to slim from under the feet of the bulls
in wheat, and the phenomenal advance
from 55Ac to 63l2c IS disappearing with
even greater rapidly. Many people call
the market a manipulated one. but what
ever degree of truth may have been at
tached TO the advance in this respect.

duct was perceptibly influenced by the
fact. The tone of the market was weak
and prices were lower. One cause for
depression was found in the dullness of
