Rumors of Export Sales to France Turn Market
 Upward

Chicago, June 19.-Rumors of export sales to France turned the wheat market upward today after favoring weather had prices were firm, ranging from last nights level to ls014c above. Corn scored net gain of 1sc to 1zQssc: oats finished un- changed to sc up. and provisions at 2lkQ 12he advance.
 Seaboard advices denied that there had been export sales. but the contradiction came too late to have much effect on the price of wheat. Shorts who were az gressive in selling during the carly part of the session had become frightened, especially as there was evidence that com mission houses had been buying freely on resting orders. September wheat nuc- tuated from sl.o3 to s1.041s. with the wind up at s1osa4. exactly the same as 24 hours before.
 Corn followed the course of wheat, sag ging at first and then showing strength. Cash buyers baked immediately when the rally occurred. although there were viz orous complaints about the lateness of the crop. September ranged from 70ssc to 7l7sc, closing 735sc. a net gain Of 1ac.

The weather map was rather less colorless as rains were shown both in the western and in the eastern belts. They were beneficial in the west but hardly so in the east. There was little life in the early trading and at the end of the first half hour of bus mess prices were [ to points under yesterdays close.
 There was yielding tone in the fore noon. Selling was rather general but only on a moderate scale. Comment was much moro bearish than for some time past and crop accounts continued very favorable.

SOME STRENGTH
 SHOWN IN STOCKS
Undertone Remained Mod erately Stronghold Sup
 plies Early Business

New York. June 1s.--The stock market opened today with some show of activity and strength. but these promises were not fulfilled. although the undertone re- mained moderately strong. Dealings in the first hour were fairly large, but they petered out to minor proportions in the succeeding hours. with a small total of net gains.
 Coal shares, which were under consid- erable pressure yesterday. supplied the bulk of the early business at higher prices. Wall street evidently chose 10 ignore the possible effects of the pro- posed investigation into the properties by the interstate commerce commission, and buying of Reading and Lehigh Valley soon wiped out recent recessions. Later, both reacted from their best prices. the upwyrd movement switching to New York centINl. which more than recovered it's dividend and Chesapeake and Ohio, which rose as a result of the recent dividend on Hooking Valley.
 Tn the early afternoon the market be- came extremely dull but with spasmodic movements in some of the obscure Issues @-tes SOPPEls iilt ittllcf DG- ing assisted by rumois of another ad- vance in the price or copper metal, the second in two days.
 Another helpful factor in the Copper stocks was the strength of those securi- ties abroad. In the final hour when trading became a trifie more animated Interborough Metropolitan preferred was advanced on announcement that the h. terborough Rapid Transit company had declared an extra dividend of 5 per cent. part of which accrues to the benefit of the first named security. The tone of the market at the close ranged steady to irregular.
 Among minor Securities Wabash com mon and preferred were prominent for their acute weakness, the one selling at the lowest price in its history and the other touching the lowest quotatioh in some years. Denver and Rio Grande preferred also reflected moderate liout- dation. The reorganization plan of the Wabash road is likely to be issued short ly. and it is a foregone conclusion that both classes of stock will be heavily as- sessed.
 The Bank or England received over a,OoooOo gold, but shipped almost double that amount to Berlin. where financial pressure shows but slight relaxation.
 Time money was bit tlrmer here, some of the larger institutions placing 9o day loans at & per cent, compared with bids of per cent the day before, There was some lending of 60 day money at 5 per cent, with no demand for shorter periods July interest and dividend dis bursements are estimated at S256 s10, 564. as against $224, ,559,243 in the mIudle of last year. A considerable spart of the increase is due to the larger financial undertak- ings of the city of New York.
