Showers in Grain Belt Came Too Late to Be of Much Benefit to Wheat

By Associated Press

Chicago, June 2S.--wheat averaged lower in price today, chiefly as re- suit of>favorable weather conditions and because the Liverpool market showed but little response to yester- days advance here. The close was unsettled at s net decline to Mc gain with July s1.1SA to sL1aN, and September s1.14M to s1.15. Corn lost

 Although traders recognized that showers which were of widespred ex- tent came too late to be of much benefit to wheat except In the spring crop region, the moisture relief given to growing corn was so apparent as to promote bearish sentiment re- garding all grain. Meanwhile the action of the Liverpool market sug- gested that for the time being for eigners were indifferent as to owner ship of wheat was empasized by gos- sip current that some exporters had cable requests to cancel contracts for August shipment.
 Black rust complaints from the Red river valley in the northwest ndQ more OI lCSS hO dC N4tAh eA SAAe>AE but transient upturn in wheat prices during the last half of the board of trade session Simultaneous heavy buying of July delivery was ascribed in some quarters of elevator interests that on account of chances of rail- road strike were desirous of chang ing hedges to later months. Eastern mills seemed also to have taken notice of strike talk. Speculative selling pressure broadened out Just before the close however. and price gains were soon more than offset.
 Corn and oats were eased by the improved weather for growing crops. Active buying of July corn and sell ing of September was feature.
 Lower quotations on hogs weaken cd the provision market.

Birmingham, June zs.--Cotton opened 10 points above last nights close on a Liver pool that came over better than, due. After the initial figures were posted 1t was n typical pre-bureau market until the last hour, when a spurt was made that brought values s2.60 per bale higher than the pre- vous close. the finals being near this mark. This advance was brought about by the many wsevil reports that came from nearly all corners of the cotton re- zion. Ifsfs
 A message coming from Little Rock stated that one of the largest planters in that section gathered 6o.ooo punctured squares yesterday. They were count ed by weight. Also tho same planter expected to gather 100000 more. Tho message added that weeviis were taking every thing and new fields and localities being infested.
 The weekly weather sumrnary from washington was mostly favorable but mention of weevii being numerous in, many sections was tho most builish feature, Showers and cooler nights will incresss the damage from the pests. The import ance of the scramble for tho New York stock yesterday was reflected also in to- days trading and is evidence of the de- mand for desirable cotton and difficulty of getting same in any quantity at present levels.
 We do not anticipate any material change in values before the Issuance of the bureau Monday. However we, think, the market has discounted . condition os around T2 and eventually much higher prices will be seen on weevii damage nionn l--S. R. Stewart & Co. 7t ffrsT
