Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 15.-The placing in the
hands Of p. d. Armour of all the cash
wheat in the country upon which the banks
had made advances to Letter was the chief
reason for d very firm opening in the wheat
pit. With the assurance that this immense
volume OF cash wheat would not be allowed
to come on'the market in such overwhem-
ing abundance as to demoralize prices, buy
ing became more liberal and investors Dis
played confidence. The Liverpool market
quoted another sharp slump in July, equal
to about Sc per bushel, but it had no per-
ceptible effect here. The longer futures
were well held abroad. In the course of the
forenoon a number Of dispatches were re-
ceived from the region where harvesting
Was in progress, reporting rust and other
damage. Toward noon the market became
