The Markets
EVENING Grain Letter.

Chicago, June 2T.-Wheat: Opening
prices were about steady as compared
with last nights close, but the market
Immediately turned strong n !, SO
ruled throughout the entire session
With the July delivery leading h ad-
vance. The early strength came from
northwestern markets and same belnk
haaed unon the continuation OF hot
and dry conditions, and an increase ~
complaints regarding the crop, OWING
~ the conditions. The portion of the
wheat which is likely to suffer Is that
seeded on spring blowing and q large
proportion In many sections was so
seeded. Notwithstanding the sharp
ADVANCE Of the past week, prices VIII
continue to be governed by weather
conditions, both in the arves terri
tory and the spring wheat country. AT
no time during the past month has
there been a promise OF anything but
a very moderate total crop, n eYen
this total was based on a very high
sprine wheat condition at the outset OF
the crop. We can therefore, only feel
that any real serious damage to spring
wheat would result in a run away bull
market. NChas. II. Lewis q 20.
