Chicago, July 6.-Corn-Those who
took advantage Of the early bulge were
the more fortunate altho there was
heavy selling by longs throughout the
day. Ideal weather prospects and more
favorable crop reports were the bear
ish influences on the new crop. AHho
the demand for cash corn was not 90
urgent, there was not enough corn to
cause pressure in the spot market.
Ruling prices were, therefore, higher
than those Of yesterday. While war
conditions throw out Of line normal
calculations. the trade is beginning to
wonder just where the holder Of new
crop contracts Is to be rewarded, in
case the crop comes through with any
thing like the present promise, espe-
cially should the war terminate before
the end Of the old crop year.
Oats-The selling of long oats by one
or two of the largest local bulls Had
a very depressing effect on this hither-
to very strong market. Bulls are ex-
pressing the opinion that much dana &c
can still be done to the new crop. but
as yet, very little has happened to d.
minish the chances Of a record yield
| and only a few weeks remain until the
bulk of the crop will be out Of danger

work to do and were on hand early
iookins over the offerings. The run
this week has been fairly large for the
season Of the year. but the demand
has improved enough to cause action
to the trade. Prices have remained
unchanged this week. Good to choice
horses are meeting the frmest call, as
shippers are inquiring for such lots.
Rejected army grades and common
light weight horses are the slowest to
clear. The arrival of horses suitable
for army purposes has been small for
some time past, not enough to keep
the one inspection busy.

Chicago, July 6-Attempts to curb
high prices by stopping all trade in the
July delivery of corn resulted today in
a general rush 10 buy the September
option and other distant deliveries. The
consequence was fresh jump in
values to new high record levels for the
season Scarcity of offerings caused the
advance to be rapid, with no sign of
halt until the market was up cents
from yesterdays finish, a rise OF s
cents since the close on Monday. Re-
ports of export and distillery demand
and of virtual exhaustion Of country
reserve supplies did much to stir up
bullish sentiment. Opening prices. which
ranged from Is cent off to 2A cents
advance, with September at 1.50k to
1.57, and December at 1.1512 to 1.16&,
were followed by slight reaction and
then a sharp general upturn.
Reports subsequently that foreign
interests had withdrawn from the mar
ket led to a decided setback. The close
