REPORTS OF CROP DAMAGE
HAVE A BULLISH EFFECT
Widespread Frost Over Spring Crop
Belt Also Tend to Strengthen
Wheat Market.

| CHICAGO. May 17.-Serious crop dam
age reports from Missouri had a bull
| ish effect today on the wheat market
here. Assertions were received that
Hessian fly was in every field in the
western part of the state, and that
heavy reduction of yield could appar-
emily not be escaped. Widespread frost
over the spring crop belt tended fur
ther' to strengthen the market. After
opening one-half cent off to like ad-
vance, prices scored a material gain all
around.
Corn Rises With Wheat.
Corn ascended with wheat. At first,
however, the market was heavy. owing
to favorable crop reports and because
of easy cables.
Opening prices. which were u TO "a
lower, were followed by a rally to well
above Saturday nights level.
Oats merely reflected the action of
other grain. Trade was Of a scattering
character.
Steadiness was the rule in provisions.
The bulge in cereals seemed to Offset
lower prices for hogs.
Talk that the crop damage in Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Illinois and other states
might result in a cut OF lOo,OO0.OO0 BUSH
els from the government figures of a
month ago led afterward to a sharp
additional upturn for wheat The close
was unsettled, at a rise OF 1A to Az
