BulIiSh Reports on Oats

CHICAGO, July 9,-All deliveries Of
corn rose swiftly today to the highest
prices yet this season. Scarcity OF Of
ferings became so pronounced that for
the first time the September option
went to a premium over July, Opening
quotations ranging from &Q1&c Oft
with September M9lh qi92 and De-
cember H.60h @l.6ih, were followed by
a sharp ascent all around to well above
yesterdays finish.
July, In which there was only a light
trade, mounted to nearly 81 a bushel,
and that price in fun was commanded
by No, 2 white corn to arrive. Free
realizing by longs in September failed
to affect the market to any important
degree, The close was unsettled, &c off
to 3hc. net advance, with September
81. 9bS @195b and December N.65hm
i.65&.
BulIish crop advIces gave independ-
ent strength to oats, After opening No
Nc to hc higher, including September
at 72h 172Nc, the market continued to
advance.
Provisions were lifted by the action
Of hogs and grain,
September pork and all deliveries OF
ribs touched the best previous top level,
but reacted later as n result OF com :
