CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. June THE government June re-
port on winter and spring wheat as well as
cats and barley will be posted on the Board
Of Trade Immediately after ths eloss Of the
session. tomorrow
Estimates as to the probable final outcome
Of spring aad winter spring Yields vary from
sio,oOD,oW as minimum TO 6o,ooo.0O bushels
a. a maximum.
Ths com was irregular today with losses of
hal cent. Tho EufOpsan oUFn situation may
be called quite strong as foreigners are anxious
to secure that grain in order 10 mix il with
wheat in the baking CT -four and they also
are anxious to SECURE additional amounts Of
oats and rye to mix with wheat in making
-four.
There were declines Of lalH cents in the
oats market today. The early strength dis
played BY corn was not in evidence in oats.
There was an advance Of esRts in the July
wheat today ON covering hy ShnTts and lack
OF selling orders The September future was
y cent lover. The millirg demand was small
with sales Of only $500 bushels at Chicago
to millen and there were good strong bids for
export but the offerings we're curtaied and the
Increment restricted thereby.
Hog products were easier today with the
e&esptien Of lard and that commodity was

PRICES REACTIONARY
ONNEW YORK CHANGE
Y. S. Steel. Industrial Alcohol. and
Mexican Petroleum Make
New Highs.

CBy InternationaI News serviee.D
New York, June 7.-After new high
records had been made in several Lead
ing issues, notably u, s. Steel, Indus
trial Alcohol. and Mexican Petroleum,
prices became reactionary in Wall
Street today. The market is becoming
extremely volatile which Is perfectly
natural In view Of the fact that Il Is
really not stocks that are being mark
ed up on the exchange but money that
IL being marked down. The great
volume Of business reported by con-
Germs dealing with the government
means less IN real earnings than what
they were doing before war was de-
cIared But with t2,06o0o0 OF liberty
bonds which are really currency pay
ing in the circulating medium OF the
country and the prices of securities
have been out OF balance and must be
readjusted.
At its hish point today steel was
more than two points above the pre-
vious close. After hitting the high
price Il rebounded more than II had
advanced. This rebound accompanied
runors Of q corner In Industrial Alco-
hol. There Il nothing IN the action of
Industrial Alcohol on the tape 10 In
dicate q corner. The stocks has risen
sharply IN the last few days and even
today added more than . points to Its
price before reactinE.

' The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. 3.
Hibbs. & Co, from S. B. Chaplin a
Co, their New York correspondent:
"Such further headway was made
In establishing more new high rec
ords for most OF the Industrial spe-
the market was started nearly a
month ago that IL looked to many OBJ
servers as though the advance in
values hac been conducted much too
rapidly the last few days for the con-
tinuance Of healthy trading condi-
tlons.
For instance, one would suppose
from having watched the great activ-
ity and the sharp rise In prices the
last week, that the war was really
little to be concerned about, whereas
few as yet seem TO realize the very
the great responsibilities our country
has assumed in the program 50 far
outlined.
These considerations caused q
great deal OF profit-taking both dur
ing the early continued heavy buying
movement Of the forenoon and In the
later trading. This selling was suf-
\ ficiently effective TO cause q good re-
action in prices during the late after
noon in conjunction with the falling
on from the recent large covering
| demand from shortk The latter In
terest now is chiefly in the railroad
list and the motor stocks, aside from
/ q few OF the larger traders who still
appear to be holding out in some OF
| the high priced specialties.
while conditions continue to favor
| bullish sentiment with the prospect
that the governments bond issue will
| turn out to be largely oversubscribed,
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may allow most Of the Is per
! cent increase In freight rates the
| railroads petitioned for TO stand, cau-
ton should now be observed with the
| money market Tightening up some
| what against becoming too enthu-
siastic and loading up with too many
stocks which cannot be comfortably
carried in the event of q sudden
break"

GLOVES WILL BE
OF GAY COLORS

Since the feet have taken to fanciful
coverings, it has come about that the
hands are making an effort to match
the other extremites in this matter. It
is to be noted that among the Fall
gloves are those of French kid which
have shaded embroidery on the back.
This embroidery is not confined to
black but is exploited in blue, in green.
purple and brown. not to forget gray.
The idea seems to be that the predom-
inant color Of the costume may be
matched in the embroidery of the
glove.
Then there is the glove which has
the cuff encircled with cords that have
the effect of tucks. The stitching Of
the latter 81 done in colro or may be
had in white to match the glove. Rath-
ser practical Is the glove of white, tan
or black which has cuff OF contrast
ing color. This style of glove has the
Biarritz wrist. without opening and
and with elastic finish to make it con-
venient for drawing on and off the
hand.

EMPLOYEES MAY

Meeting Will Be Held AT the

More than one thousand men. en-
ployes of the Locomobile Co. are ex-
pected to attend the meeting at the
Lyric theatre tonight to take final ac-
ton on their proposed demand for a
ten per cent. increase in wages.
The present scale or wages, accord
ing to business agent Samuel Levitt,
has been in force for the past two
years and is not adequate for the needs
OF the men in view Of the high cost
Of necessities of today. According
to Mr.. Levitt the factory officials hide
under the cloak of patriotism in an
effort to intimidate the men or to per-
suade them to work for wages which
are smaller than the times warrant.
Should the men who meet tonight
decide to declare a strike, the matter
will be referred to the Washington
government and 1t is likely that fed
eral conciliator will be sent to this
city to amicably settle the differences
of the employees and employer.

circumstances beyond their control
were unable to report to go with the

send these men to camp at this time
rather than to wait for the final Is
per cent. of the division Sc quota, which
has not yet been called
In addition to those sent by, Judge
Bartlett, DR.. w. Fl. Donaldson, Of
Fairfield division No. 10, sent about
SO. to fill in the quota from that dfvis-
ion. These men were from various
town in the district, including Fair
