BULLISH FLOOD REPORTS

Heavy Buying of July Corn Causes

Are Also Helped.

caused renewed strength in the grain pits
to-day July wheat closing 1Bc higher. with
corn lQ1isc higher and oats up &c. Pro-
visions closed steady. with the Sept. pro-
ducts unchanged to 7iac lower.
WHEAT.
Wheat ruled decidedly strong and trad

business. The market was strong through
out the entire session. opening prices being
higher on steady cables small receipts and

crop report, which showed a loss OF i per

the past month. Damage reports from Kan,
SaS and Nebraska Were also in evidence anu
created anxiety among the shorts. while
the strength in corn was another uuli
factor There was good general demand
all day. with light offerings. ST. Louis con-
tinued to advance during the last hour. and
the price rose in sympathy. closing prices

ceipts of 10 cars. no contract grade. made
the total receipts for the three points OF
1875 cars against 166 cars last week and 80
cars year ago.
CORN.
Heavy buying of July corn by prominent
commissioner houses and the generally bull
ish sentiment among local traders caused
an advance of over a cent in that delivery,
while other months were also strong: but
the demand was not so urgent for the more
distant futures. Strong cables and the BULL
ish cro2 reports were the chief bull factors.
The Missouri crop report was extremely
bullish and estimated that 10 per cent Of
the corn was not in the ground. Conditions
in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska were also
reported bad. and under these influences
shorts We're active buyers throughout the
day and trading was on large scale. Aft

OATS.
The uncertainty of tie crop prospects and
the strength in corn brought out a demand
for oats. while shorts covered freely, re-
sulting in a strong market. Aside from the
steady demand and light offerings. the mar
ket was featureless Close was strong, with

THE FOOL ROOSTER
He's Always Growing. but It's the Hen
That Lays the Ege

I've heard Il good deal in my time
about the foolishness of hens but
when it comes to right down, plum
foolishness give me rooster every
time. He's always strutting and
stretching and growing and Dragging
about things with which he had moth
ing to do. When the sun rises, you'd
think that he was making all the light
instead of all the noise. When the
farmers wife throws the scraps in the
henyard he crows as if he was the
provider for the whole farmyard and
was asking a blessing on the food
When he meets another rooster, he
crows, and when the other rooster
ticks him he crows. And so he keeps
it up straight through the day He
even wakes up during the night and
crows little on general principles
But when you hear from hen she's
laid an egg, and she don't make a
great deal of noise about it either
