WHEAT N TIE RISE
Liquidation of Recent Days
Apparently at an End,
FIRST CAR OF NEW WHEAT
Corn and Oats Higher--LittIe
Change in Provisions.

Chicago, June 7.-Liquidation Of long
wheat, the feature of trading for several
days past. was apparently completed to-
day, and the market recovered IN a degree
from its depression. July closed 1-2Q5-sc
higher, corn gained 1-Sc and oats 3-Sq1-2c.
Provisions show sight changes both ways.
The opening in wheat was at slight i'm
provemest over yesterdays closing prices.
July started at 70 1-Sd1-4c, an advance Of
1-SGl-4c. 1t was evident from the amount
Of wheat offered at the opening that the
liquidation Of the past few days was not
yet over, but reports Of excessive rains in
the northwest brought enough support 10
hold prices for a moment. The weakness
Of Liverpool, however, gave grounds for
belief that the ussian drOuht reports were
exaggerated, asd reported rains in the
Odessa district strengthened this theory
The result was a short period Of decided
weakness in which the July price touched
IA lie. This was the low point Of the day.
Private cablegrams confirmed theserious-
ness OF the Russian crop situation. and
this proved one Of the most important fac
tors. As the liquidation dropped off a gen
eral isclination developed 10 play for a raj
y, and though short periods Of depression
we're of frequent occurrence, notably when
st. Louis weakened on receipts Of new
Texas wheat, grading No. 2, yet the mar
ket as a whole was firm TO the close, the
small declines being quickly recovered.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were $50
cars, compared with .213 last week and 10
a year ago. Chicago receipts were 50 cars,
five Of cos-ract grade. Atlantic port clear
ances amounted to 22o,0 900 bushels. State
crop reports were unfavorable as RUE,
this being especially true in regard to the
condition Of winter wheat. Cash demand
was slow The first car OF new wheat was
received here today. July finally odd up
to 70 5-Sc and closed firm al 70 1-21A5-Sq
Corn was again dull but firm. COnCin-
ued rains were reported west and crop bull
letins were unanimous in reprting the
ground in bal condition. Receipts were
369 cars. July ranged from 30 3-sG1-2c to
90 3-4d7-Sc and closed I-Sc higher at 80 IS
Q34c.
oats were dull but firm with corn.
Weekly crop bulletins were bullish. Re-
ceipts were 146 cars. Cash demand fair.
July ranged from % Is 10 . 1-2a5-Sc, and
closed 3-Sd1-2c higher at % 1-2G5-Sc.
Provisions were dull and practically fea-
tureless. There was some demand to cover
shorts but cash inquiry was small. Prices
fuctuated within narrow range. At the
close July pork was 1-2c higher at $S.25; /
July lard 21-2c lower at s5.05 and July
ribs a shade lower at s467 L.
Estimated receipts for Thursday: Wheat, !
10 cars; corn, so cars; oats, PSI cars;
hogs, 81, 900 head.
