GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. June 24.-Unfavorable crop
advices from South Dakota brought
about an upturn today in the wheat mar
ket. Absence Of rain in that state was
coupled with a renewal Of high tempera-
ture. Weak cables tended to make the
feeling at the outset easy. The opening
was the same as last night to half cent
lower. September started at 9O1s to SO11,
unchanged to g off. and then rose to 9OA
a90a.
In corr buying on the part Of shorts
overcame the bearish effects of the
weather being fine in the chief producing
states. September opened Is to 4 down
at tD7sa6Oh2 to GO11a6Oh, and rallied to
coz.
All offerings of oats were quickly alb
sorbed. September, which started a
shade to LAS lower at 4O14 to 4O1h, re-
covered to 4O5sa40A.
Provisions hardened in line with higher
prices for hogs. First sales varied from
last nights level to 1Oc advance. includ-
ing September options at 20. 20 to 3OSO
for pork: 11.35 to 11.371s for lard and
II S2k for ribs.
Statements that North Dakota wheat
was not holding up caused further adj
vance in wheat prices. The close was
firm, with September - net higher at
9O7s.
Subsequently an additional corn gain
resulted from lessening of rural consign-
ments The close was firm at 61s for
September, net advance of ssak.
