CHICAGO, June 8. - The same old

tive. Many theories that June ! to

being absorbed in welcome fashion by
the industries. The Snow general
grain report suggests America will
raise two year wheat crop. Oats
crop promise looks generous at 1865
100000. His remarks suggest a late
start for corn. To some July corn ap.
pears TO be moving up into the ground
formerly occupied by May; just how
far this crop month can proceed is a
problem. On the other hand large
market activity must enter December
corn and December oats.
