CHICAGO, June S0.-Trading in
corn was on a broad scale today, with
prices early showing a strong ad
vance. The fact that further heavy
rains had fallen over many sections
of the corn belt and that damage re-

from northern Illinois, had much to
do with stimulating demand. Besides,
scarcity of supplies available for i'm
mediate delivery here continued to
exercise a bullish influence. The
