SALES In EAST DROP
WHEAT AFTER RISE
Action by Longs Offsets Re-
ports Of Adverse Crop
Conditions.

CHICAGO, June 16-Heavy selling
ascribed to Eastern longs turned the
wheat market sharply downward to-day
after material advance. due in the
main to bullish crop reports. The close
was weak. at nc. to 4 Lc. net decline
with July Si.2S to s1.2SA and -Septem-
ber s1.211a to $1.21a. Corn gained 81 c.
to lc.. and oats finished nc to ss a
1ac. up. Provisions finished from 10c
decline to a like advance.
Crop experts held the attention OF the
wheat pit most of the first half Of the
day. with messages telling OF threaten
ing black rust conditions in the North
west and Of damage by adverse weather
and by insects throughout large areas
of Ohio and Indiana. Assertions that
the black rust had appeared in Mime
sofa as well as in South Dakota counted
as a special bullish factor, and SO too
did rise i'm foreign exchange. Denials
that big export sales had been made to
Italy were followed by selling on a large
scale. Toward the last country offer
ings were reported as having increased,
with Missouri rendering new grain to
ST. Louis for. immediate shipment and
with harvesting as a whole said to be
making rapid progress.
Activity of exporters was mostly re-
sponsible for strength in corn. Oats got
a lift by unfavorable reports OF the crop
outlook.
Provisions were affected on one side

TREASURY OFFERING
Is OVERSUBSCRIBED
Drop in Money Rates Also Aids
Bonds-U. s. Likely to Allot
More Than S50O,O0O,O00.

One OF The most constructive develop
ments from bond market point of view
was yesterdays announcement in Wash
ington that the recent offering OF an ag-
gregate Of $500. 100000 of Treasury GER
tlfcates of indebtedness and Of three
year notes was oversubscribed to the
extent of at least 90 per cent. Another
welcome feature was the drop in money
ra les to q level that compared favorably
with normal money rates In pre-war
days, Preliminary reports on the re-
suits of the Government financing in
dicated total subscriptions OF S75o,000,-
600. about evenly divided between one
year certificates and three year notes
An allotment considerably in excess OF
$500 600 900 would cause no surprise. In
New York the subscriptions Were about
60 per cent of three year notes and 40
per cent Of one year certificates. Allot-
ments probably viii be made in this
district on about that relative basis.
