GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel

CHICAGO June 9.-Influenced mora
or less by correct assertions before
hand that the government crop re-
port this afternoon would prove bull
ish, the wheat market averaged high
er today Government figures on the
condition of spring wheat turned out
to be the lowest ever on record for
June, Closing quotations on wheat
were irregular, half-cent net lower
to 81 cent advance with corn " cent
to 1 cent down oats 1s cent to u
cent up and provisions unchanged to
% cents off.
Aside from the official figures on
the condition of spring wheat the
government report was construed as
bullish on account of showing 49,
900 bushels probable smaller yield
of winter wheat than the average OF
recent private reports. The decline
from the May government forecasts
100000 bushels, reflecting damage
from dry weather chiefly southwest.
Some market authorities, however,
were inclined tonight to contend that
8 cents a bushel advance in prices OF
late had fully discounted the report.
especially as pressure from the new
crop movement is looked for soon.
Active buying support for wheat
values appeared today at about the
same level at which purchasing has
taken the slack out of the market
for several days back. Word OF rains
in Kansas were more than offset by
further reports of heavy damage to
winter wheat in parts of Kansas ana
Nebraska and by advices also of Sc
we're injury to spring wheat in dis
tricts of South Dakota and Mime
sofa. Crop failure in northwestern
Kansas was said to be practically
complete, the total yield in IL north
western Kansas counties being esti-
mated at only 100000 bushels. Corn
demand flattened out today. Profit
taking sales were in progre and more
than counterbalanced reports of dry
weather west of the Mississippi and
in parts of Illinois. Oats were rela-
lively firm all day. Provisions re-
flected weakness of the hog values
and of corn.

BULLS, BEARS,
BATTLE FOR A
STOCK CONTROL


NEW YORK, June 9.-Opposing
speculative forces struggled for con-
troll of the price movement in today's
stock market with the days advan-
tage on the side of those working
for higher prices. The market sold
off during the morning when bear
traders attacked the motors and a
few specialties, but it turned upward
lated today when bullish operations
were resumed in U. S. Steel common
and other standard industrials. To-
tails sales were 1,536,OO0 shares.
The days business news was large
ly constructive in character. The
weekly steel trade reviews were op-
timistic in character with the pres.
dent of one of the large independ-
ents, reporting that buyers We're de,
manding prompt shipment, an indica-
tion of low stocks. The American
Petroleum institAte reported a re-
duction of 1850 barrels last week in
the daily average of gross crude oil
production, which is now running
more than 100000 barrels daily be-
low that of the corresponding period
last year,
Retail business, Judging by the
sales and earnings statements of the
United Drug and other chain stores
companies, is running we'll above last
year. Although consolidated April
net earnings of the class one rail
roads did not come up to earlier ex'
pectations,. due to the relatively poor
showing of some of the western
roads, fresh buying was attracted
into that group today by the an
nouncement that the New York Cen
trail planned a consolidation of some
of it's principal subsidiaries.

that gasoline production of the COM

Atlantic Refining sold down more
than points to 1153s, but recovered
half it's loss. international combus-
tion was heavy
Most of the principal commodity
markets lost ground. Active wheat
futures showed little change, the
days trading largely representing the
evening up of speculative accounts
pending the publication of the gov
ernment crop report. Cotton yielded
6 to 10 points with selling inspired
by favorable crop advices. Raw
sugar declined 1872 of cent a pound
and coffee fell back 29 to 81 7points
Call money renewed at 4 per cent
and remained at that rate all day
Time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged
Foreign exchanges were easier. De-
mand sterling ruled just above $4.3t

Most of the continental rates showed
nominal recessions, although Spanish
pesetas ruled nearly 10 points higher
at 1928 cents.

students come from six different
states, including Florida. The dor
