Southwestern Crop Reports Not
Quite So Unfavorable as
Those Of Yesterday.
But the Red River Valley Sends
in a Few Complaints of
Backward Plant.
A Quiet Close and Nothing IN
usual in the Maturing July
Options.

MINNEAPOLIS Chamber of Commerce,
June 3O.-With a scarcity of new buying
orders and lack Of good support wheat fell
back by half cent this morning. There
was nothing to cause fear Of closing
furry in July. Traders in that option
appeared to have about evened up. Sep
TENDER showed the effect Of the selling
out of small lots taken on a day or so
earlier when the market looked so strong.
Crop reports were conflicting as ever. Inc
Red River valley has considerable wheat
that looks good, but upon examination
shows the strength going principally into
the straw and there Is some complaint or
rank growth and Of weeds. On the other
hand Snow, who was so bullish yester-
day, wired that he finds everything more
favorable west Of Newton, KAN, and
while he Is still bullish In his general
/ summary his later observations have ap.
parently prompted some modlhcatlon OF
former views. The Price Current t1nds
large, well-filled heads general in the win
ter wheat, but damage by rust in Illinois
and by rains in west, altho local and
slight in the aggregate. The condition as
a. whole Is not materially changed. Corn
is moderately late, but weedy In Kansas
and Missouri, otherwise in prime condi-
ton. Oats are about UP to the average,
and vegetation generally favorable.
The weather map shows Improvement
in conditions. It Is raining at this writ
Ing at Dodge City, Kan, but the fall IS
s1ight There were showers last night
in Missouri, but skies were clear this
morning; showers in Iowa and rains at
Fort Worth and in the Ohio valley. Tenn
peratures are somewhat lower In the
northwest and stationary southwest. The
west is a little cooler. 1t looks like fair
