Futures opened quiet at an advance Of
one to two points favorable cables After
the opening the advance was continued on
rather a free covering movement on the part
of shorts who were influenced by the
weather map which showed up dry in the
west and wet in the east just the reverse
Of what was wanted for the growing crop.
This buying widened the advance to five
10 seven points. At the time OF highest
prices cables from Manchester were receiv-

to recommend short time.
This destroyed the advance and brought
about a net decline of one TO two points.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, June 1S.-Wheat prices on
the Board OF Trade today resumed
their downward trend and on, Anal
transactions were IL to 7-s cent below
yesterdays close. Coarse grain also
closed weak but provisions were firm.
The wheat market was heavy all
day and with the exception of the May
option all deliveries declined more than
/ cent from the high point of the day.
The distant deliveries displayed a mod
crate show of firmness at the start ow-
ing to light shipments from Argentina
during the week and to freshS reports
of damage to the wheat crop of that
country by drouth, but weather condi-
lions in the winter wheat belt of the
United States were too favorable for
harvest operations for the market to
retain this firmness for any length of
time. Prompted by the bright out
look for the new crop shorts began
the opening and continued to sell free
ly the greater part of the day which
resulted in. a steady decline.
Cash houses reported that offerings
Of new wheat in the country We're in
creasing daily and that demand for
the cash grain here was rather slack
The monthly report Of a! St. Louis
trade journal was a bearish factor de-
claring that the general condition of
the fall sown crop is excellent and that
harvesting will be general next week
over large area OF the winter wheat
belt. Declines at the northwestern
grain centers also had a weakening In
fuence. During the day the July de-
livery sold between 113 IA to lis rs
and lis 3-S Prices rallied a little
from the bottom late in the day on
covering by shorts but the close was
weak with July at ia 3-S.
Cool weather caused moderate firm
ness In the corn market at the start
but the favorable outlook for the new
crop induced general selling early in
the day, which continued throughout
the entire session, and which resulted
In sharp declines in all deliveries. Ex-
tremely bearish advices We're received
from the southwest. reports from st
Louis and Kansas City declaring thar
Kansas and Nebraska would have a
record breaking crop according to pres.
emit outlook. Local receipts were larger
than had been estimated and this also
prompted some selling The rnarLe1
closed weak with prices off SIS to IA
to 7-S compared with me previous
close.
Oats displayed slight firmness At
the opening In sympathy with corn.
Dut the market soon became weak on
selling brought out by additional re-
ports telling OF the favorable outlook
Tor the new crop. Southwestern in
terests were especially free sellers Of
the July delivery. At the close prices
we're Ia to ga lower than yesterdays
