iAh Effect and Mhent Again Drons.

Chicago, June 1s.-Increased offerings o,
the 1917 crop had a bearsh effect on whea
prices today. Largely In consequence tht

Much of the selling of wheat was credited
to the southwest and was generally regarded
as hedging 10 facilitate the marketing oi
the new crop. Weakness developed espe'
cially In the July option. but wheat fol
immediate delivery was even heavier. Ii
addition to pressure from the southwest
eastern longs also were conspicuous sellers
Influenced presumably by the ideal cror
conditions that were reported as existing
throughout the winter crop belt and the
spring wheat region as well. Indications
we're said to point TO a much larger yield
than was indicated by the last government
report.
Word Of large export purchases rallied
the corn market from setback, which had
resulted from weather favorable for the
growing crop. The Dutch government alone
was said to have taken 600, 900 bushels.
Oats traders took their cue TO a con-
siderable degree from the action OF corn.
Houses with seaboard connection were
active buyers of the July delivery, but op-
timistic opinions Of the crop outlook proved
to be more than an offset.
Improved cash demand for meats finally
gave strength to provisions after period
of depression duo to realizing sales on the
part of holders of lard An advance In hos
values seemed to have failed entirely to
check the lard warkness.
