Late Market Quotations
Lonu Commission Co. Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, July 7.-Corn-A very
strong market in corn was the result
OF the light receipts and high prices
for the cash article, coupled with
complaints of damage to the growing
crop in Oklahoma and Texas from
dry, hot weather. Crop reports, out
side of the southwest are more favor
able. Iowa, particularly, reported ma
terial improvement during the last
week. New York reports that neutral
nations do not expect to secure per-
mits from the export council to re-
move supplies for about four weeks.
The government report, due Monday,
was compiled before serious COM
plants were received from droughty
sections, and is expected to show
prospect of crop above normal.
Oats-Oats did not show as much
strength as corn, either in the cash
market or in the pit. Clearances are
very heavy and the old crop has dis
appeared in remarkable volume, as IS
shown by the high premiums obtain
ing for the small supplies moving.
Crop reports are generally very prom
ising and the government report
should show prospective yield OF
record proportions.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial reyle"
today said:
The strong technical position to
which the market has been reduceo
as result of continuous bear attacks
was demonstrated this morning when
security prices were marked up q
point or so on small covering opera
tions. The gains accomplished IN the
DAVIS, short session were otherwise
without significance, the market
being almost exclusively In the
hands of small professional contln-
gent.
Stocks were hesitant and uncertain
at the outset, but before the end OF
the first hour considerable strength
developed in spots and the entire
market exhibited Arm tendency.
Rails were very dull but what little
fbuying there was here lifted such
properties as Reading, st. Paul, Bal
timore and Ohio and New York Cen
| trail a point or more at times. Cen
eral Motors was again weak and
some two points lower. Others In
/ this group were firm. Steels and
coppers were all fractionally higher,
while National Enameling, Central
Leather. Marine preferred and Gu
chile steel were particularly favored.
