FRESH WHEAT ADVANCE
ON MORE RUST REPORTS
High Opening Is Followed by Mod
crate Further Gains-Plague
Showing Early.

CHICAGO, July 12-Announcement that
neighborhood of Aberdeen, S. D., led to
fresh advance today in the wheat market
here. After a seventy mile drive north
and east of Aberdeen, well known ex-
pert sent word that in every field ex-
amined he had found traces of the plague
and that in some fields it was on every
stalk handled. The harvest at Aberdeen
is four weeks off and the rust is showing
very early.
Opening prices. which ranged from y
to l higher, with July at 1.OS1S to 1.oSA
and September at Ito to 1.10A, were
followed by moderate further gains.
Better European inquiry was report
ed and the market here was virtually
bare of offers until values had shown
a material upturn.
Corn Prices Relatively Easy.
Hot weather that tended to force growth
made the corn market relatively easy.
A rally. however, took place owing to the
strength of wheat After opening /.
shade to y lower, prices reacted to above
yesterdays finish.
Oats developed Independent irmness.
The reason was that high temperatures
were said to be causing crop damage.
Active buying on the part of the COM
mission houses and packers lifted provis
ions Declines in the price of hogs were
ignored
Further wheat advances were brought
about by advices that weather condi-
tons in the northwest today were of a
sort to cause rapid spread of black
rust. cloudy, calm and sultry after a
general abundant rain. The close was
steady. 134a1B to > net higher. with

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Relatively easy
cables seemed to be offset by uncertainty
as to the probable showing of the weekly
weather report in the cotton market mere
early today. The opening was at de-
cline of points on August but the tone
was steady. with other months un-
changed to points lower. and the more
active deliveries sold point or two over
last nights closing figures during the
early trading This slight bulge probably
reflected a renewal of the covering move
ment, which was in evidence late yester-
day afternoon, but general business was
very quiet and there was no special trad
ing feature.
The official forecast was for partly
cloudy to generally clear weather in the
said indications were for generally clear
weather over the entire belt, with the
possible exception of scattering showers.
