July wheat opened at 710714c, fiat lump

| gan trade which in excitement and activity
| exceeded even Yesterdays, when traders re-
ferred to the days of the Letter deal for COM
| parsons. The advance was occasioned bv the
Iact that the northwest was still without rain
Reallzlng sales were heavy, however, and July,
following the opening, declined to 703c. Then
| tne pressure of buying orders, punches of
| which every man in the pit seemed to have in
| the greatest plenty, came to the aid of the
market and July shot up to 7ltc Lots which
during the recent dullness would have caused
a break IN prices were absorbed without a
tremor. At this point the weather bureau
announcement of indications of showers for the
northwest Saturday caused some cessation in
the buying and the takers of profit forced july
| gradually back to 70sc. The dip, however,
merely gave the buyers breathing spell, for
at the price just quoted they jumped into the
pit with renewed vigor. The northwest in
terests bought enormous quantities, as did in
t1uential locals. Some who went short earlv
upon the theory that the advance of Yesterday
| would IN the natural course of things be fol-
lowed by reaction, covered, thus aiding in
the advance. The trading during the last
hour was very heavy. July climbed up to
I54c and closed PC improved at 728@724c.

| The wheat pit was crowded again TODAY,
put the market was weak. The opening was
| erratIc, July at 724(072b. compared with last
nights close at 728@724c. A few minutes
later July was quoted at 7l8@714. The slump
was due to the weather bureau prediction of
| rain IN the northwest, combined with a report
| from Minneapolis that rain had been falling
there. These items caught the market at the
| opening, and the value of wheat gave light
| ming change exhibition in declining. 1t looked
| as II everyone in the wheat pit would sell at
| this period, but there were few heavy longs
who still held out. Their attitude. coupled
with profit taking by shorts who sold last night,
caused rally but it was lost, July slumping
to lie Again there was support, partly en-
couraged by crop reports from the northwest,
which was as unfavorabla as ever, and july
once more touched 7l8c. Again the pressure
OF long stuff made itself felt, and this time
July dropped to Tic, closing soon after in a
weakened condition, &c under yesterday at
71@7lBc.

Wheat was excited and buoyant at Chicago,
and the pit was very busy place. A huge
| amount of trade was transacted, The frantic
| advances, however, were tempered by large
protit-realizing sales. Had it not been for
| these sales, the price might have advanced
| right on through the roof Despite the stuff
| put on the market in this way, most of the
| advance was held. At the opening the fact
| that the northwest had received no rain over
| Saturday was piece of bull information
| staring traders in the face. Rain had fallen

| Wheat opened easy at Chicago on pressure
| from the longs, July 1-2c lower. The north
west was still without rain and unfavorable
crop reports from that section of the spring
wheat country continued to pour in. July, in
the first 15 minutes, advanced to 745c, and
little later, after q slight check, pushed on to
! 744c. Huge business was transacted, the pit
was crowded and spectators excited and
nervous. At the high tide of its strength an
opposing factor presented itself in the weather
