was held at the close. Harvesting Is
proceeding in the farther southwest
and It is reported that a fair crop OF
very good quality is being secured.
Corn-Shorts in corn were forced to
cover and found offerings extremely
light. The September and December
deliveries in which the short interest
was greatest, were more affected. The
action Of the July was disappointing
in view Of the cash situation, which is
the principal bull argument. Liberal
export sales yesterday and reports OF
food conditions along the Missouri
river were important factors in the ad-
vance.
4 Oats-Despite the bearish portent OF
the government report oats sympa-
thized with other grains and closed
around best prices Of the day. Those
who had sold on the prospects of
large estimate by the government were
obliged to pay sharply higher prices
to cover their contracts. The actor
of the market is dependent to large
extent on the course Of other grains
but there seems little in the present
or prospective situation to warrant
much advance.

Chicago, June s.-Wheat ran up
swiftly in price today on account OF
the government estimate that the total
yield IL the United States this season
would be only 100000 bushels more
than was harvested In 1915. At an ay-
erage rate Of consumption this would
not allow to exceed 100000 bushels
for shipment to Europe. Under such
circumstances sellers were scarce and
efforts to purchase on very moderate
scale caused the market to climb as
much as 18 cents a bushel. Opening
prices. which ranged from I cent to
16 cents higher. with July at 1929 TO
$40 and September at s1.ss and s1.s7.
were followed by sharp reaction
from the extreme figures, the market
steadying at cents advance all
around, as compared with yesterdays
finish.
The fact that Kansas aod Nebraska
were shown to have shortage OF l01,:
900. 900 bushels as compared with last
year, tended later to give new strength
to the market. The close was firm,
cents to II cents net higher. with July
at $2.S5 and September at S2.02.
Corn.
Unfavorable weather led to active
buying Of corn. Prices advanced
sharply, with the December option
leading. Trading in that delivery
broadened out. After opening Y cent
to 3A cents higher. the market scored
further substantial gains and then fell
back somewhat.
Oats.
Bul1ish conception Of the government
report lifted oats. Commission houses
were buying.
Fresh upturns ensued and 1t was
