GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS

Chicago, June S0.-There was an easy
feeling today in wheat at the start with
traders inclined to sell because cables,
| especially Paris showed less strength than
! expected. This sentiment did not last
long, as crop damage reports began to
pour In. The damage was not claimed
to be recent, but the injury, II seems
was not fully apparent until after the
fields were cut and threshed, when it
was found that, however luxuriant the
growth the yield was not what had been
anticipated. The full extent Of the dam
age is yet a question, but claims were
made that it would reach % per cent
in some of the wheat states. The eff
feet of this news created a great deal
of excitement and there was a general
rush to cover and the early loss was more
than recovered. Late Liverpool cavles
came pence higher than the opening and
this added to the hrmness here The
Price Current places the present crop at
materially reduced figures from former
estimates, and says It is not likely to
exceed Gil, 500 900 bushels. Receipts in the
northwest were light, Il 10 cars, against $50
last year. Chicago arrivals were five
car loads as compared with 10 for the
corresponding day last year.
