|, CHICAGO, June 17.-Hot weather
and reports of consequent damage to
crops in some localities had a bullish
effect on the wheat market today. Or
| ferings were light until prices had
scored an advance of cents in some
cases. Then sellers became more nu-
merous. and prices began to sag;
Opening quotations, which ranged
from z to higher. with July 1.29 to
i131Is. and September LA to 1.26 h.
were followed by a material reaction
from initial top figures.
Corn and oats were stronger with
wheat. Corn. after opening u to 2E
| to 65N, steadied at moderate gains
compared with yesterdays finish.
Oats started Y to Is up. Septem-
Der, 40 to 40Es. hardened little more,
land then reacted somewhat.
Provisions, although dull. were
frmer, rejecting the upward tendency
! of grain and hogs.
Potatoes. weak; receipts. 4S cars;
| northern white; sacked, Is 81. per &C ewt;: W.;
cwt.: virginia, 3.75a4.00 per bbl.: !:
North Carolina, 2.S5a3.40 per bbl.
subsequently,, apprehension of a
! drought scare was handicap on
bears. The close for corn was strong.
| 2A to 2N cents net higher, with
September 65ss to 65A.
Export sales of 100000 bushels OF
wheat, disappointing. threshing re.
turns from Missouri and forecast
several days led to rallies later. The
close was unsettled 2X to ~ cents
NET higher, with July 1.31A to 1.3l n
and September 1.24k to 1.24A.
