Chicago, June 1-Wheat-While the
Price Currents acreage figures on
spring wheat were not fully confirmed
today by 3. W. Shows report, both
were a little more bullish and probably
had considerable to do with a lrmer
tone in our market. Snow estimates
the winter wheat crop at 3S6,oo0,000
bushels and the spring crop at 1885,
100000 bushels. Should the war con-
tinue through another winter these
figures would, Of course, be construed
as bulltsh. So long. however, as the
buying of wheat for future delivery is
restricted. 1t makes no difference what
economic conditions obtain, nor whether
production figures are bullish or bear
4sh.
Corn-Shorts did not like the cold,
wet weather, and the stubborn resis-
lance of cash products and, in cover
ing today, caused very sharp rally.
Receipts were liberal, but were in good
demand, prices holding about the same
premium over the futures. The sea-
board demand Is a factor in the
strength. After the long decline a rally
like that Of today IS not surprising.
Oats-Enow's figures on oats were
disappointing to the bears, who caused
a sharp rally in covering their lines.
Cash demand was pretty we'll main
tanned, sample values being quoted
about IL cents higher. Crop reports
are generally good.

Chicayo, Juno 1.-Something Of a
Detback was given to wheat prices to-
lay by news of the closing Of the port
Df New York to all outgoing vessels.
|eearish crop estimates tended also to
|handicap holders. At first the market
had displayed frmness owing to
|Strength OF coarse grains. Opening
prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to cent higher. were followed
by a break to well below yesterday
finish al, around, and a subsequent
rally failed to hold.
Word later that the ban on outgoing
ships at New York was lifted had a
decided bullish effect. There were also
reports that some export purchases had
been made. The close was unsettled, ,
to cents higher with July at S1.9S and
September at s1.s2.
Corn.
Continued wet weather lifted the
corn market. Growth conditions were
said TO call instead for warmth and
sunshine. After opening Y cent to z
cent higher prices scored decided fur
tfler gains, but lost much of the adj
vance, when wheat turned down grade
Prices later rose much higher than
before. Shorts who tried to cover found
offerings light and had to bid the mar
ket up. The close was strong at 3ss
cents to ~ cents net advanced
Oats.
Oats followed wheat rather than
corn. Scantiness Of offerings tho, pre-
vented any radical downturn.
Provisions.
Weakness of lard acted as a weight
on provisions. Nevertheless shorts
showed a disposition TO cover owing TO
higher prices for hogs.

ALL FORMER RECORDS BROKEN
Years Consumption Of Cotton in
Southern Mills, 4,358, 900 Bales.

NEW ORLEANS, August 2.-Consump-
ton Of cotton by southern mills during
the cotton year ended July 81 last.
amounted to 4,3oS.000 bales. breaking all
former records, according to figures COM
piled by H. G. Hester. secretary of the
New Orleans cotton exchange, and an
nounced today. These figures compa red
to 4.O47.o00 the year before and 3.l63,00O
two years ago
The total commercial crop Of cotton for
the year just ended. according to Secre-
tary Hester's figures. amounted to a.
sI 900 bales, against 12,93s.o0 the year
before and 15,1Os. 900 two years ago.
The heavy consumption of cotton for
the past year, according to reports re-
ceived on this exchange, was due partly
to large war orders and partly to the fill
ing of business which in peace times prob
ably would have gone to England.

LONDON, August 2.-The stock mar

fraction. Scandinavian stocks were firm
features on the exchange position.
Several industrial and shipping shares
were supported and advanced but the
other sections were inactive. Money
was plentiful and discount rates were
steady. The more stringent blockade
is considered chiefly responsible for the
state OF Scandinavian exchanges, which
continue unfayorable to London.
