CHICAGO. June 3-Wheat closed to-
cay at 6Slsc for the July option, substan-
tllly the price it opened at and an adj
vance of hQ$sc. Its lowest price was CSC
and 1t SOLD as high as 6S24c. The immedl-
ate cause of the strength was a sensa-
tonal advance al Liverpool but there was
100 much realizing for all the advance TO
he maintained. Corn was strong and adj
Nanced 12c, oats closed AQ2sc higher and
prlVlsions PIC lower to &c higher.
In wheat the bulls had several good
reasons for maintaining their leading po-
sltlon IN the market. Yesterdays large
cash business, over 250000 bushels. was in
ltSeIt sufficient reason for the strength
with which the market opened but added
10 TINS was an opening advance at Liver
pool OF 14g13d. The market. in fact. sup
pied the bulls with all the ammunition
they needed. The initial rise there kept
pillng up until at the close 2lid advance
had been established for July delivery.
Inc opening for July wheat here was from
6SSq6Slc against yesterdays close of 6I34G
6'3sc, and so little was for sale at those
prices that in about twenty minutes at
ter the opening 6Sl2c was being freely bid
and some changed hands at 6S3sc The
bears at these advanced prices sold
enough TO knock ii down to 6SIsc again,
where the bulls once more got their horns
under it and tossed 1t up TO GS3.c.
