GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Ills, June T.-Corn went or
the rampage today, and headed by the
bull crowd that has cornered July OPP
tions, led the unfortunate shorts rapid
and eXciting\ chase. Early in the day
the word went around that the screws
were to be put on the shorts long be-
fore the settling day Nervousness per-
vaded the pit and soon the shorts be-
gan to accept the inevitable and got Out
of their deals with as little loss as
possible. A tight hand was held or
much of the corn early, but soon the
market ran away. The bulls did not
seem to care to keep it in check and
the day closed with net gain of 3Ac
in July corn. Other pits were neglected
in the interest that centered around corr
and July wheat closed only a shade

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, June 17-The cotton mark
ct opened easy with June two points
higher and other months three to five
points lower, following which there was
little activity until about eleven O'Clock.
The room contingent was bearishly
influenced by rumors of general light
rains over the western belt. notably
in Texas and gave little attention to
early bullish Liverpool cables. The
English market was due to come ia to
3 points lower, but in reality was net
unchanged to " point lower. July sold
off to S5S and August touched S.29. But
as the session progressed the room con-
tingent lost a portion of it's bear con-
fdence and covered I'D as a matter of
precaution, pending the arrival of the
: weekly crop weather summary ifrom
: washington due at ~ o'clock The
late English cables gave a full response
in Liverpool to our decline and selling
orders made their appearance from Eu-
rope and the South The commission
house contingent sold freely on stop or
ders. The receipts were larger than ex-
pected. Promptly at the time set by the
Government the weather report appear
ed, and it proved bearish, noting
break in the drought over the Eastern
belt, and no serious effects from dry
weather as yet over the central and
western belt. Blooms and squares were
reported and cultivation was described
as at a complete state. Rain was Said
to be needed seriously in some sections.
though no mention was made of likely
damage during the next few days. The
special weather reports gave light rains
in some portions of Texas, while the
late weather forecast indicated showers
for Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Ar
kansas tonight and tomorrow. Imme-
diately following the reading of the re-
port the whole market listed badly to-
ward the bear side with July off to $50
and August to 500. Pronounced weak
ness in the New Orleans market served
to intensity the heaviness here. The
local market closed easy and net ten
to fourteen points lower. Around $40
for August, a prominent Wall Street
operator was heavy buyer and some
of the more conservative traders pur-
chased the late positions for a sharp
rally tomorrow. Trading was active al!
day with total sales estimated at 100000
bales.

New Orleans, La, June 17.-Lower
Liverpool and the decline in futures
caused decline of Bc. in the price Of
spot cotton today.
The future market was fairly active
and lower: the decline was caused by
weaker cables and reports and predic-
tions of showers in various sections of
the cotton belt. Under the belief that
the new crop was being relieved or was
about to be relieved. an easier feeling
set in as soon as the gong sounded for
the first call, all positions showing q
loss of three to five points at the open
ing. Therefore the market continued to
fall away closing with net losses of
fourteen to twenty points.
