GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June 27-Spreading of the be- lief that the United States government
 would fix a price for the whole domestic
 wheat crop of 1917 did good deal to- day to pull down wheat quotations here. The market was steady to 4 cents net lower, with July at s2.O5 and September at si.s3. corn gaining 1Ac to 2c; oats asc
 to 9sc. and provisions l2c to BOG.
 Incentives to buy wheat except on a
 hand to mouth basis appeared to be lack
 ing in view of seeming likelihood that
 government control of values was immi nent. The consequent downward tendency
 of the market received further impetus
 from assertions that immediately embargo
 restrictions were contemplated to curtail
 shipments to European neutrals. In ad-
 dition, bears had the benefit of reports that the Canadian surplus would be util- ized first in supplying European needs. There were encouraging estimates, too,
 in regard to the probable yield of the sur plus producing states both in the spring wheat belt of the winter wheat region as well.
 Drouth complaints from western Kan sas helped to rally the corn market and so likewise did gossip that further buy ing of corn and oats for the entente all lies was expected soon. At first, how ever, embargo talk had considerable bearish influence.
 Throughout the day oats felt the stim- illus of persistent buying on the part of houses with seaboard connections. The July option was chiefly in demand Provisions ascended on account of the readiness with which offerings were ab- sorbed by packers and shorts. The late strength of corn was also a bullish fac l tor.

Hubbard Bros. Letter

New York, June Special. )-Fluctua- tions in prices are now governed by com parc .vely small transactions and are therefore. more violent than in normal times. It is expected that the bureau reoprt will be bullish one, so that the purchases today are based upon that ex- pectation. as there are no new hedge sales being made, the contracts do not come upon the market. so that purchases are made from those willing to take profits. New high prices were reached just before the weekly crop report was issued. which was the most favorable one of the season and caused slight reac- ton. Sentiment Is bullish although prices are regarded as dangerous should any unfavorable news appear.

SrOWth and crop improvement WhIch should be seen in the belt at this stage of the season.
 Private crop bureaus are beginning to talk in an extremely bullish way on conditions and we warn our friends not to entertain too extreme views regard ing thb government report next Mon day
 Should the condition be no lower than it was last month, it would reflect an ex- tremely unfavorable state of affairs in the belt.
 One report today claimed loss for the month of 4.5 points. Those who take profits on long cotton on the. present upward tendency will be in a position to take advantage of reaction around the bureau.
