EUROPE KEEPS
 WHEAT PRICE UP
Foreign Strength Is Caused By Growth Conditions in
 Central Europe

Chicago, June 16.-Stubbornly bullish standing declines on this side, were re- sponsible largely for an advance today in the wheat market here. Closing figures showed a gain of a shade to A03so over last night. Corn finished A@ssc to 9sc up, oats 1-16 to 1sc dearer, and hog products more expensive by 21k9712c.
 Support by the principal longs on wheat was forthcoming on all Impressions de- spite rains were reported precisely where needed in the spring crop regions.
 Foreign strength appeared to have been caused by fear aroused regarding growth conditions In central and southeastern Europe. Reports were at hand telling of excessive moisture in southern Russia and Argentina, sharper demand in Germany and big falling off in shipments from tho Argentine. Some traders professed also to sec an element of at least tenn porary encouragement for the bull side because many offers of new wheat were being rejected here. Most of the cash concerns have no additional storage room available. As the end of the day ap. preached the volume of trading seemed tc diminish but nevertheless the closing tone was steady. During the session July ranged from S6a4c to S79sc, with last sales A@3sc up at S7ss@S71ac.
 Hot, dry weather in the southwest put up the price of corn. Shipping demand. however, proved disappointing. The Sep tember option varied between 507s456c and 5615d565s, closing firm at 56ssc. net gain of 3sc. Cash grades were easy. No. 2 yellow finished at 5412@55c.
 In oats there was good buying support on the break and free selling on the bulges. Crop damage reports were nu- merous. High and low points for the Sep tember delivery turned out to be 3sssc ana 39c, with the close hc net higher at 3si4 @ss9sc.
 The semi-monthly report on the stocks on provisions exhibited liberal decrease. Accordingly the market rose despite a heavy run of hogs. In the end pork was 121ha171ac above last nights figures ana other products up 21ac to 10c.

Stocks Move in a Narrow Margin Following Whims
 of Speculation

Now York, June 16.-Stocks moved up and down within narrow limits to- day in response to the varying whims of speculation, each period of advanc- ing prices being succeeded by a cor responding decline. The end of the market came when prices were on the downward swing, so that small losses were numerous. but trading was so largely professional that the outcome of the day gave no indication of the trend of sentiment.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 16.-(Special. )-Foreign advices lacked color today and traders were wary, in view of the continued hot and dry weather.
 Buying by the woud-be long interest is deferred until evidence of crop damage is forthcoming. and apparently the mar ket is well evened up, and room trading is the principal feature.
 Old crop months are easy and almost neglected, and the new are dominated by the weather.
 Constant buying is necessary to sus- tain the new crop but sellers are few under the circumstances. Late in the day a local covering demand stimulated prices.
 The map Is being carefully watched. Liverpool stocks were reduced 49.00o bales.
