WEATHER SENDS
WHEAT SOARING
Crop Damage Due to Dry
Spell and Heat Also Lifts
Corn and Oats.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. June 5.-Active trading
and much higher prices developed in
the wheat market today as soon as
business here began. Hot, dry
weather, unfavorable for wheat
growth, was widely prevalent. and for
the first time of late the Liverpool
market gave evidence of having fully
awakened to reports of severe crop
damage in the United States. Sep
tember and December deliveries here
both touched new high price rec
ords for the season. Chicago open
ing prices, q cent to Az cents high
er July 1.69 to 1.70A and September
1.65 II to 1861, were followed by an
additional upturn that carried July
to 170& and September to 1.6712.
Corn and oats went up with wheat.
Buying was based largely on the
ground that a short crop of wheat
would necessitate substitution of all
other grain. After opening at half
cent to 4 II cent gain, September
1.1S14 to 1.1SA and December 80 to
1.02R, the corn market steadied at
around 1.173s for September and LOO
for December.
Oats started at 2sa2A cents up
September 81 to 5112, and later
showed further gains.
In line with hog values the pro-
vision market was firm.

Special Strength.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Speclai dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Reactionary
tendencies prevailed in today's bond
market, but the movement did not go
far and there were individual points
OF strength. The feature of the
United States Government bond list
was the equalling by the Treasury

of 107.
Much interest Is taken in terms of
the Treasury financing due on June
15. Opinion predominated that the
Secretary would offer an additional
issue of long term AS.
Foreign Group Heavy.
In the foreign group the heavier
tone was pronounced, not alone in
French bonds, which might have
been expected to sell off in sympathy
with Frances exchange. but in Bel
gian issues as we'll, German Is, on
the other hand. were strong, making
another new high for all time at SO,
while Austrian Is also crossed SO for
the first time on this movement.
Profit-taking brought about a re-
cessfon in the Hungarian 7hs, which
had such a sharp advance earlier in
the week. Even the strictly invest
ment United Kingdom 5hs of 1897
sagged below 1O7.
Domestic Issues Uneven.
The chief incident in the rails was
the sudden run.up Of 3 points In Nor
folk Southern 5s. Convertible oil bonds
went along with their respective
stocks. Local fractions were mostly
lower. So were International Mercan-
ffla Nor SC oyIx, al he

comparatively slight.

NEW YORK. June 5 CR.-Recent

Tires Changed Often
Will Yield More Wear

The fact that tires on the right hand
side Of car wear out faster in pro
portion than those on the left-hand
side often puzzles motorists. The popu-
lar supposition that this wear Is caused
by turning many corners to the right is
incorrect. The fact Is that the in
creased wear is actually caused by the
pitch of the road, which throws more
of the car on the right side than on
the left.
The round of the road from curb to
curb is far more important In deter
mining the sequence in which tires
normally wear outright rear, left
rear, right front, left front-than Is
gutter wear and abrasions from grind
ing Off and on the pavements.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear tire. Thus thegright
rear wears the faster of the two.
However. as the left rear wheel re-
ceives driving pull while the right
front does not. 1t will wear the faster
of the two. Under average conditions
the right rear tire wears out first and
the left front last
