CONFIDENCE IN ARMOUR
LED TO PRONOUNCED GAINS IN
WHEAT FUTURES YESTERDAY.
Steady Buying on the Superstition
that He VIII Not Let the Letter
Holdings Flood the Market.

CHICAGO, June ia seemingly sublime
confidence that Armour knows how to mar
ket cash wheat sent prices up all around to-
day in the wheat pit. June wheat closed Sc
higher for the day, July PIC, September liz
disc and December 17sc Corn advanced
19sc and oats nc. Provisions rose 421ac in
pork, 121ac IN lard and 171Ac in ribs.
The placing in the hands of p. D. Armour
all the cash wheat in this country upon
which banks had made advances to Letter
was the chief reason for a very firm open
ing in the wheat pit. With the assurance
that this immense volume of cash wheat
would not be allowed to come on the mar
ket in such overwhelming abundance as to
demoralize prices. buying became more lib
eral. and investors displayed confidence. The
Liverpool market quoted another sharp
slump in July, equal to about &c bushel,
but it had no perceptible effect here. The
longer futures were higher In the course
of the forenoon numerous dispatches were
received from the region where harvest was
either in progress or about to commence,
reporting rust and other damage Toward
noon the market became more active and
quite strong. The crowd was bearish, and
sold short on soft spots, the natural con-
sequence of which was extra strength when
prices hardened. The market ruled strong
until the close. The more settled condition
of affairs brought numerous inquiries from
milers for wheat, and fair amount of the
cash article was disposed of for domestic
purposes. Chicago receipts were forty-eight
cars. against eight last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth received 7O6 cars, against 1856 on
the corresponding day of the year before
The Atlantic port clearanceS were equal in
wheat and flour to 47S00O bushels. July

declined TO TIC, rose to soc, then sold off
began A@ssc better at 714@7112c, declined to
70Bc, up to 71AQ71$sc, down to 711sc then
rallied to 72Ac at the close.
The wet weather was again the foundation
of the advance in corn Shorts got no in
terval of rest or soft spot to give.~them
the bullish feeling that wheat, oats ard
provisions were all influenced by the i'm
petuous buying in the corn pit July opened
AQasc, higher at 325sG32a4c, and sold up
steadily to SIC asked, the closing price.
Bad crop reports and the firmness in corn
strengthened oats; July opened 14c higher,
declined to 2S7sc. then rose to Csc, the closing
figure

the effect that yellow fever was not extend

trlbuted to the rise in provisions. July pork

800, and sold up to $5.S5 at the close. July
ribs began unchanged at $5371s and ad-

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Good Trade I'm Indianapolis Markets,
with Steady Prices.

Cooler temperature yesterday gave much life to
trade and it is we'll settled that the business of
this month is to be handsomely in excess of June
last year. Better prices have been realized on
most articles Steady prices is of the good
features 1t is believed that fewer bad bills will
be made in the year 1898 than in any of the last
seven years. In prices yesterday there were no
important changes. In fruits and vegetables there
were slight fluctuations governed by receipts and
demand but one of the features of business with
commission houses is that the holdings on hand
in the morning are we'll cleared cut by night of
each day. Raspberries and blackbeTries are now
taking the place of Strawberries. Lemons are in
active request and advancing All staple groceries
are very firm and moving well.

Wool.

BOSTON, June 15.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow Of the wool
market: The sales this week are about IS per
cent larger than last week. but the market as a
whole is Quieter. The demand for woods for army
purposes has come TO end and IL is now be-
ginning to be seen how great part 1t has played
in the last few weeks in tiding the market over
what would otherwise have been an exceedingly
dull period. Notwithstanding the present stagna-
ton, prices are as we'll maintained as at any
time, in fact, in the case of some foreign woods
they have displayed a distinctly hardening
tendency. The opinion is general that it Is not
buyers market" Just now al attention Is
conferred on the West. There is yet no abate-
ment to the excitement among the growers. They
continue entertain the keenest expectations re-
garding prices and ii is reported that though
they are consigning by far the larger part OF their
wool they have nevertheless made some very
good sales the past week. The sales OF the week
in Boston amount to $4,000 lbs domestic and
679 600 foreign making total of l4260Oo lbs
against a total of 9S1 900 for the previous week
and a total of 1857 0C0 for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since Jan l, 1898, amount TO
81 500 $40 lbs against 1914 40S 500 last year at this
time.

Observation-Disclosures Ruling.

Judge William f. Newman OF the Circuit
Court of the Northern district of Georgia
yesterday rendered a decision TO the effect
that competition gives railroads the right
TO make rates regardless of the long-and-
short-haul clause of the interstate-com-
merce act The decision was given in the
case of the Georgia Railway Commission
VS. the Western & Atlantic, the Nashville
Chattanooga & St Louis and the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad companies. The roads
were charged with violating the fourth
clause of the nterstate-commerce law
by charging more for freight hauled
from Cincinnati to intermediate points than
through 10 Atlanta, and the Interstate-com-
merce Commission decided last March
against them. On appeal Judge Newman
reversed this ruling on the ground that
competition made a difference as to the
right of railroads TO charge more for short
than long hauls. This ruling. ii is believed,
will affect every railroad south of the Ohio
river.
