GRAIN PRICES MOVE

Wheat Bid Up Higher on Heat
and Drought Factors, but
Reaction Cuts Gains.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Anxiety over heat
and drought. together with predictions
that the winter crop yield would be well
below the June estimate. led to a
material upturn in wheat prices to-day.

Temperatures around 100 in districts
where the winter crop was yet ready
to harvest, and where no immediate
cooler weather or showers seemed likely
to give relief. had bullish effect on the
wheat market as soon as trading began.
Some spring wheat territory sent COM
plants also of hot winds. News Of a
heavy storm in Canada failed to have
more than a transient contrary market
influence. whereas Liverpool quotations,
higher than had been looked for, helped
to stimulate buying here.

Export demand meanwhile showed
Improvement. Europeans taking 500, 900
bushels at the seaboard. The fact,
though. that for the greater part of the
week the market here had been working
upward in price made the holding of
new advances more and more difficult.
Especially in the last hour of the session
owners efforts to realize profits were
on big scale, causing prices to sag.
The market was being well supported
nevertheless at the finish.

PARIS, June 23.-The Franco-Spanish
commercial agreement gives France a
minimum tariff on LOFTS articles and

Jay & Co. proved to be disastrous to

Prices broke sharply late in the day for
a net loss of So to II points. Final
prices were at the low of the day. The
market ignored a number of conStruc-

among them being bullish weekly sta
tistics, reports of increased goods activ-
ity in both domestic and foreign centers

views.
The official map showed mostly clear
weather. with precipitation generally
light and restricted to Eastern sections.
The Jay report, which caused much
early pressure, placed the crop condition
on June II at II per cent. of normal,
or an increase of about per cent. over
the May report. and the increase in
acreage at FER cent. The indicated
yield was placed at 11.100.00o bales.

only 10,400, 900 bales, considerably less
than the Jay report showed.
Despite the sharp break in prices.
which carried the list below the % cent

the explanation for this being found in
the fact that operators were using
caution before the first July notice day.
Whether tenders will be light or heavy
