when they were stopped from drilling

has eight wells drilling and operat.

uon Is made that on this basis, the
cost Of developing the 9.4s1 acres on

Wheat Prices Bolstered by
Rust Reports at Close Of
Week Featured by Decline

CHICAGO, June 3o.-At the end of
n week marked new low price records
for the season, h wheat closing to-
day was firm at 1A to 1%c net higher
for the day with September 1.03h to
1.03S and December 1.06h to 1.O6%.
On the other hand favorable crop
reports, together with prospects of
fairly good sized deliveries Monday on
July contracts, gave some advantage
TO the bears in the corn market,
which closed unsettled at a range
varying from n cent decline to a
quarter cent advantage with septem.
her .75S to .75%.
Black rust reported throughout the
northwest was the bolstering influ
ence in the wheat market today after
all future deliveries had been marked
down for days. Previous to today's
bullish reports weather conditions had
continued favorable for the harvest
ing OF winter wheat and rains and
low temperatures were aiding the
growth OF the spring crop.
Persistent liquidation of wheat hold.
ings on the part If houses with east.
ern connections gave special emphasis
~ "a uisluiDluB GENERAL effects OF
h stock market declines and were
offset to only a moderate degree by
reports that within the last two
days. 1000, 900 bushels of future de.
liveries OF wheat had been taken by
exporters.
Word that black rust had been dis.
covered in South Dakota failed to act
as a stimulus to the buying side of
the wheat market, and It wal ap.
parently the view Of most traders
that important actual damage from
rust might have to be shown before
prices would respond. European ex.
change rates at new levels for the
year and a seeming dearth OF export
purchasing for nearby shipment e1.
cept on a hand to mouth basis were
also n decided handicap TO bulls.
Favorable weather conditions for
the new crop together with indica
tons hat the stock of corn here
would show an increase this week had
n bearish influence on the corn mar
ket. Oats followed corn.
Provisions declined with hogs and
grain.
