WHEAT MARKET
is DULL; CORN
QUIET BUT FIRM
(By Consolidated Press.)

Chicago, June 20.-Trade in
wheat was undressing most of
the season. Just before midday
there was a furry which carried
prices to the highest point of the
session. Locals sold it on the early
bulge and when the offerings dis
appeared they found it difficult to
cover. The buying on the dips was
credited largely to foreigners. The
firmness of the cables upset the
bulls as it was not deemed likely
that Liverpool would ignore our
decline of yesterday. There was a
firmer cash market as a result of
increasing demand, mills taking 49,
900 bushels out of this market. Kan
sas City cash wheat was unchanged
to &c higher. Minneapolis cash
wheat was 1c to &c lower Crop
news continues mixed with the
southwest insisting that wheat
