Chicago. June 16.-Increased offer

beariSh influence today on prices dur
ing almost the entire session. the mar
ket ruled weak, and the finish was un-
settled at 4 to * cents net decline,
with July 1T s2.2ll4 and september,
$l.a51a.
Corn closed unchanged to cent
higher, oats a shade off, and proyi-
sons at an advance of 10 to - cents.
Corn rose sharply as a result of ac-
tive commission house demand, based
largely on the assumption that the
stock of corn obtainable for immediate
delivery was about exhausted. 1t was
current gossip in this connection that
half the domestic visible supply was
under contract for export. Frost re-
ports and seaboard demand gave firm
ness to oats. Liberal warehouse stocks
depressed the provision market for a
time.
