WHEAT AND FLOUR
 GROW STRONGER Vegetable Supply Is Small, Peaches Scarce-POul-
 try Trade Good /

Quotations on wheat, corn and oats. are getting stronger on Morris avenue. Flour has advanced in price, and various other commodities also have an upward ten dency.
 General trade was fairly good on the avenue Monday, while arrivals, with the exception of csntaloupes and watermel- ons. were fewer than usual.
 The vegetable markets are suffering considerably from injury to the vegetable crops by the recent drouth. The pres ent supply is very small, and receipts yesterday were of little consequence. This ourtailment in shipments will doubt less result in higher prices.
 Peaches are scarce on the thorough fare, while other fruits are plentiful and are commanding fancy prices. Several boxes of lemons and large shipment of grape fruit came In Monday. Grape fruit Is offered at S. 50 per crate.
 The week opened up with a good trade in the fowl markets. Hens are in good demand, and the same may be said of the younger fowl. Eggs are plentiful. the current quotation ranging from 15 to 16 cents per dozen.
 The following prices prevail:

STAPLES CLOSE
 AT NET ADVANCE - - Due Largely to Strength of Big, Broad Market
 in Oats

Chicago, June 2s.-Largely on the strength of a big broad market in oats today, every staple on the exchange closed at net advance, wheat 1k@5s to %, corn 11s61h to 1Ac and provisions 21s@5c to 25c. Compared with AS hours previous, latest figures showed that oats had risen 1ac to 2as@21zc a bushel. The chief cause was prediction by a crop expert that the government report next month would make a sensationally bull ish exhibit.
 The excited and higher market for oats came in the face of heavy rains through out the states which usually produce the largest crops. There was remarkably ac- tive trading throughout the day and in cessant reports of field damage due to hot weather and drouth. The yield in South Dakota was declared by one au- thority to be total failure. South western Minnesota appeared also to be badly scorched and Northern Iowa in- jured to an extent which would pull down averages elsewhere already low cred, as result of various mishaps. Lending holders bid up the market from the start and forced shorts to cover. Notwithstanding that country dealers sold freely and that some longs unloaded on the swells, the furry lasted right up to the close, which was within shade of the top figures reached during the session. In the September option, the range of the day was from Ahc to 43zs
 144c, with last sales 2Q21sc net higher at 4Sxc fiat.
 The wheat trade was relatively tame, but in the main firm. An advance at Liverpool occasioned by. smallness of the stock on hand there and by a decrease in the amount on ocean passage helped bolster prices, but of course, the strength of grain had an even greater bullish in- nuence Considerable figuring was also done in regard to the harm that may come to North Dakota and Minnesota September fluctuated between SS$sc and S91H@DS9Ssc, with the close firm &c up at S9AGS9ssc.
 Corn traders paid chief attention to the hot weather southwest and to the upheaval in the oats crowd. Rural sell Ing was large, but was offset by be- lief that a sudden falling off in that line is at hand. September varied from 57sso to 59c, and closed firm at 5S7sq59c, a net gain of 11s11Ac.
 Provisions parted company with the hog market for the time being and ral- lied in sympathy with the cereals. At the end of the day pork was 171a@25c more costly and other products dearer by 21ac to dime.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June Especial Jon the resumption of business in Liverpool our market showed increased animation. The opening was steady but the gen eral disposition to sell brought lower figures, specially in old crop deliveries. Rumors of the withdrawal of the hull interest are current and speculation is averse to the long side, In view of the relative high prices. Texas tenn peratures are the highest of the sea son and for year. with no rain. The crop. however, still promises well. and the new deliveries hold their own in a remarkable way in spite of southern and foreign selling. Very bearish fig ures are expected next week from the bureau. Press reports of Georgia and Alabama are encoura ging.

Interior Movement
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans June 26.-Cotton futures opened quiet at a decline of points or tie old crop months and an advance oi 1 point on the new. Cables were moi far from what was due and were gen. orally called encouraging. Several sec tions of Texas and Oklahoma sent in bad crop reports and neither the map nor private accounts noted any rainfall of consequence in either state over Sun day. Temperatures were extremely high in Oklahoma This caused a wave of buying and soon after the opening the new crops were points up. August was also 4 up but July showed no change from Saturdays close. Fresh short buy ing sprung up on the rise and at the end of the first half hour of business the list was to points under Saturdays close. Y
 The weather forecast was generally called favorable since 1t predicted cooler and unsettled weather in the west and it resulted in considerable selling around the middle of the morning, which put the list to points under Saturday s close. July lost points as the result of the circulation of notices. It was es- timated that notices for 47O0 bales were out. They were stopped by leading longs but caused selling out by weaker longs who held on to their contracts to the last minute At noon the list was to 6 points under Saturdays last quotations.
 In the afternoon session the old crops displayed weakness and in the trading up to 2 o'clock were put 10 to Il points under Saturdays close. The new crops at the same time were 4 to under.
 The market closed steady at net de- cline of to 10 points.

BUYING ORDERS HHH HRnl4A=AnHEn -s#--H---5.
 CAUSE TRADING e
 Before Long, However, Prices Fall Off and the
 Market Is Erratic

New York, June 2e-The stock market was stimulated by a large volume of buy ing orders which had accumulated over the weekend and trading was more &C., tive than for some time. An appearance of strength was imparted at the opening by rises of 1ss in both Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and a point or less ese- where through the list. Before trading was well under way. however, prices fell off quickly, canceling many gains. Dur ing the remainder of the day the market WAS cratic and irregular. The specu- IatIve leaders showed the effects of heavy pressure.
 Speculative sentiment reflected no change to which could be ascribed the re- versal of the market position, nor were there developments of an unfavorable character. The heaviness was attributed chiefly to realizing sales. Holders of large lines of stock, some of 1t acquired last Saturday on the rise, had the oppor- tunity of closing out today at profits which were unusually attractive.
 Norfolk and Western and Southern Pa cifc were strong consistently and were unaffected by the weakness which over took almost all of the other standard stocks at the close. With the exception of Canadian Pacific and St. Paul, the leading stocks were steadier than some of the industrials. The Electric, Fertiliz- CT and copper shares were, especially weak. United States Steel was under steady pressure and the heaviness In this issus seemed to have a depressing effect upon the market.
 Atchison's May report showed decrease in gross earnings of $S0S,000. which was offset by economy of operation, saving of sS23,000 in exports, leaving small net increase. The April statistics reported that operation revenues of all the rail- roads of the country last April decreased virtually 5 per cent and operating ex- penses by the same per cent. The heav- lest loss in revenue was among the west ern roads.
 London's operations at this market were larger than. usual today and buying from that source was in part responsible for the strong tone at the opening The stream of gold which has been flowing from South Africa to London for several months with few interruptions was di- verted today, Germany obtaining the bulk of the weekly shipment of $3,75O000. Germanys purchase was ascribed to re- ouirements incident to the semi-annual settlements.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales, par value, s4,320o00.
 United States bonds were unchanged.
