CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, June 21.-Excellent crop
progress tended today to pull down
wheat prices but shorts in the July
option made use of the chance to
even trades The result was an irreg-
illar market. with the close unsettled
varying from IL net lower to an adj
vance of cents at $2.03 for July and
$.7S for September. Corn gained 4,
to q and oats u to 81. In provisions
the result ranged from 5 cents decline
to a rise Of 40 cents.
Reports both from the winter wheat
belt and from the spring crop region
told of encouraging farm conditions
Buying was slow, a circumstance
which seemed due in some degree to
I'M certainty regarding the shape that
the food bill would have on emerging
finally from congress.
Much attention was given to an
estimate by leading authority that
the 1917 domestic yield of winter
wheat would aggregate 100000, 900
bushels instead of 373,0OO,OOO bushels,
the total suggested by the govern
mcnts figures for June.
Export demand from the entente
allies and from the Dutch govern ment
put strength into corn.
Seaboard purchases had q bullish
influence on the oats market.
Provisions averaged higher owing in
the main to support from packing in
tcrcsts.
