will be no session of the Chicagt

4 Wheat-There being no open mar
| ket in wheat. a few shorts made 1
/ spectacular rally bidding against eacr
other. The demand for cash whea
was said to show some improvem ent
country millers being in the Mime
4 apolis market. Crop reports are fol
| the most part, favorable, and the
government report is likely to show
a higher promise than private fore
| casts.
Corn-Corn was sharply higher
| due to a congestion in the short in
terest. Receipts in the spot market
were very light, and the demand was
such that prices gradually advanced
from 5 to s cents per bushel. This
advance in price is timely and it is
hoped that it will result in renewed
selling by country holders, in order
that industries may be able to supply
a continued good demand for pro-
uucts. Farm feeding is being reduced
to the minimum and fair run Of
corn should naturally occur between
now and harvest.
Oats-Oats were easier, the wealth
er generally being regarded as favor
able for the advancement of the
crop The spot market was steady,
the same premiums being maintained
that obtained yesterday.
Provisions-Selling of September
lard by a western packer caused
break at the opening. Locals were
good buyers on the decline, which
rallied the market. Ribs were again
the strong. The strength in grain
caused some outside buying. Most of
the trade is of professional nature.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW PORK, June 2.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
There were intervals Of an inatten-
ton in today's short session but it
was on the whole q narrow affair
with but little net change OF conse-
quence in the general list. Industrial
issues were firm except the motor
truck stocks, which were distinctly
weak. this weakness presumably be-
ing the result of the motor taxation
plans of the senate finance commit
tee.
There were but few really strong
features outside the copper group
and those companies with interests
in Mexico. American Smelling and
Refining crossed 112 and Mexican
Petroleum. sold above 101. Coppers
advanced a point or more. The steel
shares did but little in comparison
with recent performances although L. j
S. Steel was actively bought.
Most Of the trading had profess
sional unge and represented mainly
further adjustment Of accounts for
the week end and the Tuesday re. |
cess was ON small scale. Bonds quiet
and irregular.
