Chicago Produce Market

chicago, June b.
Helped by bulge in the value of
corn and by gossip that a new repara-
tons offer from Germany might bring
about settlement with France. the
wheat market today scored a moder-
ate at advance: Closing prices for wheat,
cents net gain with July 1904 to 1904
and September 100 to 1.09i. Corn
finished half to 2 cents up. oats at
to advance and provisions at a rise
varying from &c to 12c.
1t was only when corn showed de-
cided independent strength that the
wheat market established gains which
appeared to have something Of last

an upward slant. and which were ac-
credited to talk of improved prospects
for an agreement with Germany failed
to continue but a brief time. Then
the market began to sag as result
Of lack of support and the majority
OF traders seemed to be acting on
the basis that domestic and foreign
demand would be inadequate to take
care Of hedging sales which might soon
be expected in heavy volume.
Wheat. however. took an upward
swing when the July delivery of corn
gave signs of perhaps equa ling the
seasons top prices record.
Wheat. however. took an upward
swing when the July delivery of corn
gave signs Of perhaps equalling the
seasons top prices record. A reaction
which took place in the corn market
in the final trading though, led to a
setback also for wheat. Numerous
holders Of wheat became uneasy over
the late action of the corn market. and
their selling forced wheat to drop 1
cent or mere from the days highest
level.
Buoyancy in the corn market re.
suited from continued scarcity of
available supplies and, from good
shipping demand here. There was per-

computations of the Interstate Com
merce commission showing revenue
per ton mile. Revenue per ton mile is
an almost exact gage of the level Of
freight rates.
Attempts to justify high retail
prices by calling attention to rising
freight rates were made frequently in
1919 and 1920 by wholesale and retail
dealers. 1t is true that retail prices
increased at the same time that rates
rose, in some instances. But between
1913 and 1916 freight rates fell off
slightly while prices advanced approx
imately Is per cent. In 1917 freight
rates went back to the same level as in
1913, an increase of one per cent. In
the same year. prices are found to
have been AZ per cent above the pre-
war level.
1t is to be inferred. from COM

relation between freight rates and
prices is not so close as has been sup
