WHEAT CORNER.
July Option Starts on an Up
ward Journey in Chicago.

Chicago. June 3-Rumors of a corner
in July wheat were rife on the board
of trade today Despite a situation
which otherwise would have caused a
decline in prices. July wheat sold up
to 76A cents during the forenoon, IL
cents higher than Saturdays close. The
buying was led by an influential COM
mission house, which during the past
fortnight is said to have absorbed TO-
600, 600 bushels of wheat for delivery
next month The opportunity for
Squeezing shorts it is said, lies in the
fact that contract stocks in Chicago are
now less than 6, 100000 bushels
Shorts were excited and later bid 7S1s
cents for July wheat. The closing price
was 773z @7Sc, PA @ssc higher than Sat
urday's close.
