WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE
on BULLISH CROP REPORT
Free Profit-Taking on Sharp Up
turn Fails to Cause Much
: Reaction.

CHICAGO. June 9.-W'heat advanced
sharply today as a result of the bullish
showing Of the government crop report.
Free profit taking on the upturn did not
cause much OF a reaction
Opening prices. which varied from i IA
Ia to 2ha2k higher with July at 1.06A
and September at LOS to 1.O9A. were fol-
lowed by a period OF comparative steadi-
ness. slightly under the top side of the
initial range.
Corn rose with wheat, but was checked
by numerous resting orders to sell. After
u to " higher, the market gained little
more and then underwent moderate
sag.
Oats reflected the strength of other
grain.
Provisions were irregular Pork de-
veloped firmness, but lard and ribs tended
to decline.
Later the wheat market scored an
additional advance. chiefly because of
pessimistic opinions expressed regard
ing the spring crop outlook. The close
was unsettled, 2H to 2Ha2M net
higher. with July at 1074 and Sep
TENDER at 1.09k
Unfavorable corn crop reports from
Iowa and Missouri led subsequently to a
fresh upturn. which, however, was not
well maintained. The close was nervous
at a shade to "a net decline.

CHICAGO. June about the only

Red Stockings. He was also a musi-
clan of unusual ability and throughout
his entire life was stanch patron Of

Soon after leaving college Mr.. Nc
Lean bought out his fathers interest in
the Cincinnati Enquirer The father,
Washington Mclean, was the demo-
cratic Warwick of his day. and the son
succeeded to much of his influence in
democratic counsels. In 1881 he be-
came sole owner of the Cincinnati En-
auirer. and though he has since
branched out in widely varied fields of
administration and finance, he is best
remembered for the way in which as a
mere youth he developed that paper
and was pioneer in a new era Of
1ournalism-nearlyh half a century ago.
IT was the formative age of the mid
die west. and Mr.. Mclean by personal
direction made the Enquirer a leader
in every large community enterprise of
what became known as the Enquirer's
confederacy-Ohio, Indiana. Kentucky
and West Virginia.

this paper appeared with but one brief
paragraph on the editorial page, read
ing. THE Enquirer presents the news.

After moving to Washington in 1885

He always, however. maintained close
