GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May I7.-Dry hot weather in
the southwest caused sharp advance to-
day in the price of wheat on the local
market, the July option closing with a
net gain of 15sG1%. Corn was up q. Oats
were up 3sG1 cent. Provisions were I1z9
l21z cents higher
The wheat market was strong from the
opening to the close and trading was act
i've ali day. The market opened firm be-
cause Of the failure of the predicted
showers to materialiZe in the territory OF
the fall sown wheat, the weather bureau
reporting an entire absence of moisture
with high temperatures prevailing. A
factor OF minor Importance at the open
ing was the firmneSs at Minneapolis,
where stocks of wheat are rapidly de-
Creasing- As trading progressed the mar
ket was further strengthened by a large
telling of damage by drought and Of in
jury by rust in Oklahoma and Texas.
Influenced by these advices, the demand
for wheat was extremely urgent during
the entire day. shorts, commission houses
and local bulls Vieing WIKI each OthH
in an effort to 5ecure the grain AT
times there were liberal profit taking
but all offerings were eagerly absorbed.
The market closed steady, with prices at
the highest point. July opened Isaf14 cent
to LG% cent higher, 1T Sl1aGJSi5s- adj
vanced to SO and closed at the top
The corn market was strong the greater
part of the day and the volume Of tad
ing was quite large. Early IN the sea-
son there was active covering by ShOfJS,
Late in the day there was considerable
profft-takng but prices held firm. The
market was Influenced BY report or a
Cincinnati trade journal which claimed
that dry weather is interf sTl1g with the
proper development os the new crop
Continued small receipSs also had bal
Iish effect The market closed stTCng.
July opened u cent higher. at 4l4, sold
I'D to 4S1s and closed at 4T5s-
Shorts and cash houses were active
buyers Of oats and tho market was strong
all day. The demand came from aprre-
hensiOn of the effect Of the continued
DRY weather upon the crop Damage re-
ports were more numerous today and Yep

july opened 1kdk cent 10 3sG.e cent
higher at 5s0327s, advanced to j552, and
closed at 332s-
The feature Of trading in provisions
was an active demand for July ribs, a
local packer being credited with heavy
purchases OF that produce There was a
fairly general demand for lard and pork
and the zone of the market was firm At
the close July pork was up l2l2 cents;
lard was up 712d19 cents and ribs were III
