UPWARD TURN MADE
IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Some Brokers Become Bullish
and Prices Advance
RAINFALL is TOO GREAT


chicago, June 8-Active straddling be-
tween the July and September options re-
ceived most attention today in the wheat
trade. selling the latter delivery while
buying the earlier was the favorte form
OF speculation. Leading in the moyemnt
was prominent elevator concern which
had issued a bullsh circular after hay-
Ing been rather conspicuous on the bear
side. The close was firm, with July $40

a shade to Nc Final figures in provisions
were 1o@a21fc to 271xc above last night $
level. q
AS the government crop report was not
due until after the end of the session. a
disposition to indulge in scalping as a
temporary occupation seemed natural
with a large number of operators In
wheat. Toward the end of the day most
of the guessers inclined to the idea of a
moderately bullish document from Wash
ington. This expectation was a factor in
producing reaction from an early break
due to lower cables. Following the adj
vance, profit taking on the part of dealers
who had bought during the first hours led
to shrap break in September. but the
effect will be partly overcome by trans
actions before the expiration of the last
Is minutes. 1t was asserted the south
west was receiving too much rain for
this season of the year. Showers in the
northwest and predictions of more took
a classification precisely the reverse on
all sides regardless of opinion as to the
needs of the winter wheat country. Sep
TENDER ranged from 907sc to 919s@91%c,
closing at 91ssc.
General buying of corn was induced by
large shipments. From 5S7sc at the open
ing, September advanced to $3.50, and
finished steady sc up at 59ss@59Ac. The

A bulge in provisions, due to purchases
by Chicago Milwaukee interests, was fol-
lowed by heavy profit taking. Neverthe-
less pork in the end returned an ad-
vance of 121Ac to 275kc; lard 1211c. and ribs

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, Jan. ESPECIAL 1-Cables
this morning were again strong on the
near positions. rejecting the small stocks
at present in foreign markets. Our mar
lSet opened firm, with small business, the
feature of the day being the covering de-
mand in August from Wall street, which
gradually advanced that month some Is
points from yesterdays close. the balance
of the market being strong In sympathy.
This demand continued on and off all day
until the close and 1t is the general opin-
ion that 1t is not yet satisfied. Meantime
crop conditions continue to improve slow
| ly, with the good weather which has pre-.
vailed since the first of the month, and
1t is reported today that southern mills
were in some instances making conces-
sions on their stocks of unsold goods
The technical strength of the situation,
however. is such that we expect a contin-
uation of this covering movement in the
summer positions.

LAST OF FLORIDA
TOMATOES ARRIVE
South Alabama Product Here
From Now On
STILL A LITTLE GREEN
Lemons Are Playing Prominent Part
in Market Dealing and Because of
Warm weather Have an
UPWARD Tendency

A carload of tomatoes from the east
coast of Florida was the chief receipt
of interest yesterday on Morris avenue.
This is probably the last shipment of
Florida tomatoes, as the vegetable from
that section is getting too ripe to be
shipped. Tomatoes from south Alabama
are now on the market to some extent,
though rather too green to be used.
Lemons are playing prominently in local
sales, due to the warm weather The
market has an upward tendency, though
local quotations are the same. Water
melons are going well at 5 to 40 cents
each.
Eggs are now selling steadily at 21c,
and live hens at Ice per pound.
