CHICAGO, June 9.-Wheat-The
governments estimate, while show
ling moderate increase in the pros
Ipect during the month of May, was re-
garded by the trade as SO little above
home requirements that shorts were
eager buyers at the opening today.
The July advanced 16 cents over the
close last night with scarcely any
trade. A good reaction occurred, but
part of the gain was held at the close.
Harvesting is proceeding in the farther
southwest, and it is reported that
fair crop of very good quality is being
secured. The announ cement that the
federal food controller expects through
patriotism, and falling in that. through
arbitrary price fixing, to reduce the
cost of products under his control ex-
cited little attention today, but will
probably be a factor against the bulls
a little later on.
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, We're most 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
flood conditions along the Missouri
river were important factors in the
advance.
Oats-Despite the bearish portent
of the government report, oats sympa-
thized with other grains and closed
around best prices for the day. Those
who had sold on the prospects of a
large estimate by the government,
We're obliged to pay sharply higher
prices to cover their contracts. The
action Of the market is dependent, to a
large extent, on the course of other
grains but there seems little In the
present or prospective situation to
warrant much advance.
