GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June S.-Chicago ultra-pearish forecasts of the government crop caused the wheat market today to average lower, prices rallied in the last half hour to an extent which has perhaps dis counted the fact that the official estimate of the winter crop proved to be too pessi- mistic as judged by 8 majority or traders. The market closed unsettled at the same AS yesterdays finish. to l1zc advance. with July at SPA and Septem- Der at $195. Corn gained 3lsa3l5c net and oats 1scdssc. Provisions wound up unchanged to Toe higher.
 Until the last half hour of tSe ses- sion, the wheat market had a decided down slant. owing largely to predictions that the government estimate of yield for this season would total as much as 50, ,0O0 coo bushels more than was harvested in 1916, whereas the actual figures re- ceived from Washington after the close put the probable gain over last year at only 16O00 0J0 bushels, Selling on the bearish guesses in regard to the gov ernment report, however, was not al any time aggressive. Late strength in the wheat market came about chiefly as a result of a notable bulge in the value of corn. Export demand made the corn market soar. The Atlanta seaboard was an active bidder and there were also ad- vices of business for Europe having been done by way of the Gulf of Mexico Besides domestic country offerings were light and 1t was said no aecumula tions were likely.
 Buying for seaboard account rallied the oats market from depression which was associated in 8. measure with assumption that the government report would prove much more bearish than after the close turned out to be the case. Even the most conservative guesses were 19,O00. 900 bushels above the government estimate. Provisions finished firm in sympathy with corn. f

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June S.-Crop reports show an improvement. The Liverpool market did not show any material change from expectations. On these re- ports the market opened lower, but immediately began to improve from some rumor that was apparently known outside of the trade. It finally became known that report was cur rent in the south and west that the American torpedo boats had found q submarine base and destroyed AT sub marines Buying continued on this re- port, carrying the new crop positions to a new high level. No confirmation of the report was received. On the ~ad- vance there were more offerings of July, which narrowed the difference some 20 points.

to COlOue' Charles N. Simms from
his ancestors. His grandfather was

Ient Monroe loaned the auditor his
