HOT WEATHER IS
 CENTER 0F STAGE
Closing Tone on the Chicago Wheat Exchange Is Un-
 usually Strong

Chicago, June 9.-Hot weather damage in Kansas, Nebraska and other states almost monopolized the attention of wheat traders today. In consequence the closing tone was strong at net ad vance of A@3sc to 1sqssc Other leading staples. too. all showed substantial gains over last night-corn, 1q1Ac; oats, 1A@ JAG. and provisions from 171Ac to nearly 50c.
 A selling drive at wheat was attempted by a minority of traders who appeared to think the government crop report had been sufficiently discounted beforehand. The error of such a course was quickly LID under orders from the big owners of cash wheat here.
 When the source of the bull support waa noticed every short in the local trade tried to cover Simultaneously the pit was being flooded with reports of the dis actrous effects of high temperatures all through the west. The Nebraska dis patches asserted that the hot weather was shriveling the wheat and there were complaints even from as far up as South Dakota Thereafter the reactions which took place were few and brief, and the buying force was more plainly In evi- dence in the last quarter of an hour than at any previous time during the session Being the opening and the closing July ranged from 901sc to 9214c, and in the end was 1a4ssc up to 92c.
 The windup for the day for corn was al the highest point of the season. From the start the market was affected by reports by material damage in today s and by the official forecast by continued hot, dry weather for several days. July fluctuated between 54ssc and 55ssc, closing firm, 1c net higher at 551ac. Choice grades were in moderate demand; No. yellow closed at 55Q55Ac.
 Allegations that the high winds and ir- tense heat were firing the oats crop in Nebraska and elsewhere made the mar ket for that cereal strong. The damage reports were well backed with buying or- ders, and as result December oats scared above the 40c level for the first time in months for this delivery, or in- deed for any other. High and low points for July were 3S14c and SIC. with the close 3SAc, a rise of 1Ac over last night.
 An idea that the hot wave would neces- sarily increase the marketing of hogs was responsible for most of the advance in provisions. When the pit was cleared pork was up 456471ac; grease was dearer, 171a020c, and ribs 221xa25c to BOG.

ONLY FEW STOCKS ARE 0N THE MOVE
  Rank and File of Stocks Move Within Very Narrow Limits

New York, June 9.-Conspicuous movements in stocks were confined to q few issues today, most of which have been prominent for some time on ac- count of their strength. The rank and file of stocks. including the usual mar ket leaders, moved within narrow lim- its and reflected no we'll defined trend. The bear party made few attempts today to depress prices, but the mar ket displayed sufficient strength to meet these attacks easily, although prices were forced downward. slightly several times during the day
 The supplemental crop report of to- day summarizes the situation by stat ing that the deterioration in the gen eral crop condition during May as a result of drouth was 2.S per cent be- low the average. In this statement, however, cognizance was taken of the relief afforded in the period between the date on which the crop figures were gathered and the time of publi- cation of the report. The report makes it plain that this improvement was sufficiently marked to justify still more hopeful forecasts than might have been based on yesterdays statement
 The chief points of strength in the market were Canadian Pacific, which advanced 2as to 242A, new high rec ord; the Fries, Tennessee Copper and a number of specialties such as Amer ican Beet Sugar, Westinghouse Elec- titc, Western Union and Sears Roe buck. All of these issues gained point or more. Erie common rose to the highest point reached in a year eor more.
 The sluggishness of stocks diverted speculative interest into the bond mar ket, which exhibited the greater rel ative activity. Large transactions oc- cured in New York city 4As, Atchison convertibles, Wabash-P -Pittsburg firsts and local tradition securities. Pittsburg Terminal certificates rose points on tho strength of reports that harmon ious settlement of the differences which have long invested this property might be reached without further litigation.
 The statement of conditions of na- tional banks to be made as result of today's call of the comptroller of the currency is expected to disclose gen erally favorable conditions Loans doubtless will show considerable reduc- tions on account of the comparatively small demand for the requirements of trade, while the abnormal ease of money has recently been accompanied by a piling up of heavy reserves.
 A marked movement in bank clear ings for the week was reported.
 The total loss from last years fig ures at the leading centers was only 1.2 per cent, as compared with 145 per cent in the preceding week. Known movements of money for the week in- dlcated a considerable gain in cash by the banks, more than S9,000,000 having been received from the interior as against a loss of more than s1,000, 900 to the sub-treasury and shipments of $1,000,000 to Canada
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, s5,12S,000,
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
