Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H. June 2S.-Wheat--
dry weather continues in the north
west and there was a steady stream
of damage reports from Minneapolis
and other northwestern points which
encouraged speculative buying on a
large scale. The forecast for the
spring wheat country offers little en-
couragement, generally fair, although
cooler Every thing is ignored how
ever except the critical condition OF
spring wheat. While damage advices
are sensational there are few con.
servatives who believe there is yet
hope with rain in few days.
Corn-Weather conditions are fine
for the new crop and crop reports are
beginning to be. very satisfactory
Country offerings are more liberal
and will probably increase. The wealth
er will be the important factor but
with normal conditions we look fol
an easier market.
Oats Realizing sales put good
deal of stuff on the market and
shorts were about the only buyers.
Crop adyices are much more satisfac
tory and the country is beginning tc
offer new oats for August shipment.
July longs seems to have liquidated
fairly well and the small stock ceases
to be very important factor. We feel
friendly to oats but would wait fol
opportunities to buy them cheaper.
Professionalism receipts continue
very liberal. Prices are gradually
weakening. Speculative demands are
light Outside packers are selling mod
erately as cash demand is slow. We
believe provisions are sale on the
hard spots, with the possible excep
ton of pork. Pork stocks are very
light and the near deliveries are con
gested, Estimated receipts hogs FOL

The Case Of Prout.

1t is up to Prout.
If he wants to play with Keokuls he
Is privileged to do so, for yesterday
after two hours consultation with
President Cruikshank of the Hanm-
bal Baseball Association an agree
ment was reached between the resign
ed manager and the Cannibals boss
and Prout was given his uncondition-
al release. At the time he stated that
he was undecided whether he would
accept Belts offer and come to Keo-
kuk, or go to his home in Newport,
Rhode Island He seemed inclined to
take the latter move, although Keokuk
fans hope for the opposite.
In communication with President
.Cruiskshank last evening Secretary
Louis Sterne ascertained the above
facts and it was suggested that Prout
take up the matter with Maager Belt
over the long distance phone at Mon
mouth today.
What will be the result of this com
munication is difficult to predict but
many are inclined to believe that
Prout will not forsake baseball this
summer Belt will communicate with
Sterne Immediately upon the settle
ment of the matter.
