ance of bUllishness gone wild. An adj
vance of Sd at Liverpool and a mass of
messages reporting an almost total fail
ure Of the spring wheat crop in the north
west brought in buying orders by the nun
dreds, many. sections OF the DakOtaS and
Minnesota, and of Manitoba reported total
failures. Others told of thin, spare, sickly
crops, good for from three TO six bushels
to the acre. There was still no indica-
ton of rain in the northwest, while the
temperature remained high. There was
little talk today OF Improvement If good
rains should fall even at this late date.
Statistician Snow estimate of crop Of
100000 bushels for the three states,
should there be nc further deterioration,
was considered too high by many today.
At the opening the pit was damned with
buyers and sales were made all the way
from Sc cents to 81 cents Heavy pront-
taking by longs kept the crowd from go
ing perfectly crazy. There was, appar-
emily no big short interests. Longs, fol-
lowing the opening forced July back to
S51a cents by dumping large lots on the
market. Then the market bucked with
vengeance The northwest was a heavy
buyer as usual, and foreigners with whom
most of the short interests apparently lay,
covered freely. July under this buying
and some let uD in the realizing pressure
rebollDded to So cents. Longs crushed it
back to S6SL cents again but permanent
dips were no. ~ the schedule ana the
market closed entirely recovered, July As
cents over yesterday ATS cents. ThlS IS
an advance of l25s cents since last Satur-
dav. Then the crowd left the pit July
wheat sold at 50 cents The cash bust
ness was small consideration Trade IN
corn was active and broad The great
wheat strength was unqueStionably the
influence, as country offerings were
heavy, receipts liberal and the shipping
demand poor. July closed 114qlSs up
Oats were active and strong. Wheat
was a great bull influence, but north
west damage to the crop and loss OF hay
and pasture in that territory are import
ant factors. July closed "a cent over yes
terday, at 2512 cents.
The provision market was excited and
strong. At the best, pork showed an ad-
vance of almost 81; lard Is cents, and ribs
35 cents The market took its start from
the grain advance. Outsiders came in a
rush as buyers and shorts were in a semi
panic. From the top the market reacted
partially, selling by packers being the fac
lard IS cents higher and ribs closed 451a
improved.
