GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 16.-Reports of rust in the
wheat fields of Oklahoma and Texas i'm
parted a strong tone today to the local
wheat market, July closing with a net
gain of q. Corn was up "a Oats were
8 TO y higher. Provisions were up 2j2 TO
~ cents.
Notwithstanding reports of additional
showers throughout the winter wheat sec
ton, the market opened firm on a good
demand by commission houses. The buy
ing was due to some extent to the STEADY
tone Of Liverpool cables, prices there fail
ing to reflect yesterdays decline on the
local board. Another reason for the in
itiaI fHmness wa, the continued decrease
IL Stocks Of wheat at Minneapolis. Later
came reports from the southwest that
rust has made its appearance in several
localities in Oklahoma and Texas. These
reports were given more credence in view
Of the strength of the wheat markets at
Kansas City and St Louis. During the
last half houI u portion OF the early gain
was lost on profit-taking. The market,
however, closed strong. July opened Is
to Il higher al S024. advanced to SIS and
closed at S1hGS12s. a net gain of q cent.
Trading in the corn pit was more ami
mated than for some time past and the
tone of the market was strong all day.
The chief cause of the firmness was con-
tnued light receipts. Shorts were active
bidders and commission houses also
bought well, but offerings were light. The
market closed strong, close to the high

Trading in oats was active and the mar
ket was strong. BulliSh sentiment was
caused chiefly by reports of damage by
dry weather in many sections of Illinois
and Indiana. The market was further
strengthened by small local receipts The
principal buying was by commission
houses July opened a shade higher, at
32d321k, advanced TO 325s and closed at
324s d321z, a net gain of ssG1z.
Provisions were slightly easier at the
opening because Of a 5-cent decline in the
price Of live hogs. Later however, a
fiTmer feeling developed on buying by
local packers. Because of an apparently
cOngested condition, ribs showed the
greatest strength. At the close July pork
was up 21a cents. lard was up 21z and
ribs were 71zd10 cents higher

For few hours yesterday Z. F.
Gray. the mining engineer who is
really the father Of the boom that has
hit the camp Of Ely, New, was IN the
city. He is en- route to the Copper
river region Of Alaska and, while ne
was unwilling to state specifically in
whose interest he is making the pill
grimage that viii take from three to
1--WE months of his time, it is understood
that he is going there for the Guggen-
helm Exploration company. It was
Mr.. Gray who first undertook the task
Of demonstrating the commercial pos
sibilities of the handling of the great
lodges Of low-grade copper ores in the
camp and in this work he was ably as
sisted by J. Breckenridge Fleming,
well known in Utah as milling expert
1t was Mr.. Gray who was responsible
for the formation of the Nevada Con-
solidated Mining company and, up to
RbOT { two weeks ago, he was in charge
Of the COmpany's properties at camp
resigning for the specific purpose of so
ing into Alaska as stated.
THE future of the Ely camp is alb
solutely assured, said Mr. Gray dur
Ing the afternoon. THE great depOS-
It's of ore have been we'll opened up and
their susceptibility to profitable treat
ment has been fully demonstrated.
Nothing now remains TO be done but
to get the works erected and go to
work. The completion Of the Nevada
Northern railroad is most essential
and, while difficulties have been en-
cOunteTed in keeping things moving at

Cherry Creek and from there to Ely
Is about fifty miles The road should
be in pretty good condition and in
operation to Cherry Creek by the frs
Of July. From there to camp fast
work can be done as the grade IS an
easy one to construct"
Mr. Gray stated that the property of
The Cumberland-Ely company was en-
excellent one and, under the personal
direction of George Gum, it was being
opened up in a manner that was really
astonishing. He states that the district
boasts q number of good mines and that

built up during the next few years.
