Chicago Market.

Chicago, June 6.-Wild rusheS to buy
corn. with prices soaring as much as
SIC bushel, resulte from the fixing
of maximum price greatly above quo
tations which had been ruling before a
limit was named. The established pos.
sible maximum of $1.65 a bushel was
generally taken as formal recognition
Of the strength of bullish predictions
that unless a limit was set the market
was likely to reach 81.
Opening prices. which ranged from
81 to 912 cents higher; with July at
1.52 to 1.57 and Sept. at 1.39 to 1.43
were followed by a moderate reaction
below the bottom Of the opening range,
but then an advance around TO about
six cents above Mondays finish
Fresh advances were scored later ow.
ing to smallness Of rural offerings and
because of advices that much replant.
ing would be necessary besides.
Wheat and oats temporarily were
completely ec,ipsed and formed only a
faint reflection around the bullish
movement in corn. Trade in cereals 9th
or than corn had barely little support.
Provisions held about steady. The ef-
feet of the bulge In corn was Offset by
relative weakness Of the hog market.
Chicago, June 6.-Favorable reports
as to the prospect both for the winter
and spring crops acted as handicap on
the wheat bulls, and the close was un.
settled at y to ~ cent advance.
