CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, June s.-Overbuying, bas-
ed on anticipatin Of small receipts
and on increased demand, led to a set
back in the corn market today after a
lively advance. The market closed
unsettled at the same as yesterdays
finish to " lower. with July 1861 to
1877. and August 1.3s. Oats finished
unchanged to y down, and provisions
off 80 to So.
Until the last hour, corn values
moved briskly upward almost from
the outset. Good weather made the
opening easy. but traders appeared to
be giving chief attention to the like
1ihood that wheat would soon receive
preference in the grain movement
from producing sections. Messages
from Kansas City and st. Louis, tell
ing of more urgent inquiry for cash
corn, tended also to encourage bullish
sentiment. Near the end Of the day,
however. the market was unable to
withstand the weight Of profit-taking
sales and Of week end adjustment of
trades. The fact that primary arrivals
for the week were smaller than last
year operated somewhat as a check to
the downturn, but only when the ad.
vance had been more than wiped out,
oats merely reflected changes in the
value of corn.
Lower quotations on hogs pulled
down provisions. The influence of the
corn bulse quickly disappeared.

ket-Crop Reports and War News
Help-1918 Harvest Estimate.


NEW YORK. June s.-without any
increase of activity. prices on the
stock exchange advanced today. AS
a rule. the gains were fractional.
but the movement was very general
and undoubtedly reflected cheerful
ness in financial sentiment. The days
recovery. might be ascribed to the
mere fact that the later selling
pressure of the week had made so
little impression on the market. But
II Is reasonable to assume that yes
terday's crop report. and the highly
encouraging forecasts for the rest of
the season which have followed IT.
was a potent influence.
After all. the prospect of a bumper
crop is traditionally the strongest
favorable influence which can be ex-
erted on the stock market. When
these harvest estimates have come
simultaneously with the far more
reassuring news from the western
front in Europe-especially with the
evidence of the past few days that
the American troops have become
effective auxiliaries to the allies
the attitude of the market at the
week end is not difficult to under

prices showed net gains of "a to 81,

The weather map was wet and its
effect was intensified by the predic-
tion of generally rainy and showery
weather over the greater portion of
the eastern belt, from which there
have already come complaints of too
much rain. Bullish traders predicted
that if the rains continued over Sun
day complaints of foul fields and boil
weevil would show great increase.
The decline around the opening was
due to liquidation from the long side,
but the demand soon increased and
easily absorbed all offerings. Much
of the inquiry appeared to come from
shorts. During the greater part of
the time bullish interests were not
aggressive.

Rear Test Of Week.

What this week has tested. more
perhaps than anything else. is the
question whether the financial com,
munity was to be seriously disturbed
in mind over the plans for increased
taxation. Thus far the reasonable
inference would be that it is taking
the matter calmly.
While the contemplated increase all
along has been taken for granted.
surplus earnings and dividends after
providing for the tax on profits OF
1917 have continued exceptionally
large in companies engaged in
war work. Committees appear
to be recognizing now that a
sane and scientific measure must be
drawn which will tax primarily the
real war profits"
The governments forecast in yes
terday's monthly crop report of a
wheat yield running to $4,000. 900
bushels in 1918. was a not unexpected
bit of testimony to an almost perfect
growing season.

Winter Wheat May Pass Estimate.

Winter wheat, for instance. which
is now virtually at harvest, is almost
certain to run beyond the govern
ment's present estimate of yield.
Furthermore, the initial estimate of
spring wheat in a favorable season
is usually far below the actual result
In 1915 the final harvest of spring
wheat was larger than yesterdays
forecast for the same crop in 1918.
but in the crop report of June, 1915.
the estimate was smaller than yester-
days by 100000 bushels.
