CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Aatterins crop statistics given out by the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington yesterday
Final quotations on wheat showed net gains for
the day of &c to 1c TO 17sc to &C Corn closed 10
to 212c TO 29sc higher and oats 2sc to &c higher.
Provisions were bulIishIy affected by the strength
of grain and closed strong
The advance in wheat began soon after the OPEN
ing, which was weak owing TO considerable selling,
based on improved weather conditions for harvest
ing in the winter wheat belt. The early strength
was due largely to excellent demand for ths
cash grain and extremely light receipts at all
primary points II developed later that Eastern
millers and exporters buying more wheat here
than the local cash houses were receiving from the
country. and with sales to-day Of 10000 bushels
which practically depletes local stocks OF contract
grain. shorts were extremely anxious to cover
During the day the July delivery sold at between
81 144z and ss715 The market closed strong. with
July at 81 II to 81 us
An advance Of 24sc in the price Of the July de-
livery was the feature Of trading in the corn pit
The September option also scored substantial
gain. but the more distant deliveries were reIa-
lively weak because Of the exceedingly bsarisa
showing Of the government report The range for
July was between s9ssc and nc. The market ele=ed
active and strong. with prices almost at the top,
final quotations on July being at 71zsc to re.
Conditions in the oats market were similar to
those in The corn pit. the July delivery scoring an
advance Of &c. while the crop months held
comparatively steady. The market closed strong
at almost the best marks Of the day.
Provisions were firm all day owing TO buyfrz Of
lard and ribs by local packers. The bulge in grain
and l0c advance in live hogs were buIIsh factors
Prices at the close were unchanged 70 15c higher,
