Chicago July l.
Wheat scored a sharp advance in

export sales estimated as high as L.

verse reports from the spring wheat
crop, both American and Canadian, to-
gether with a surprising upturn, in
quotations at Liverpool. The Chicago
wheat market closed strong. IL to Sc

showing to SC to 1c gain and pro-
visions at a rise of 20 to 55c.
Virtually the topmost prices OF the
day prevailed in the wheat market at
the finish, despite heavy selling to real
ize profits. Unofficial forecasts here
today of domestic spring wheat pro-
duction this season averaged 20f.000,-
600 bushels, and it was pointed out
that only four times in 20 years has
the prospective yield been so small.

year and a 10-year average of nearly
81. Although some rain fell in the
American northwest today most wheat
traders apparently considered the
amount too small to be of material
benefit. Estimates of the probable
Canadian crop were conflicting. but one
Canadian exporter figured the probable
output at 329, 100000 bushels for tho
three chief provinces, a decidedly
smaller aggregate than last years
harvest. The average OF estimates on
domestic winter wheat-562, 900. 900
bushels-was about as generally iex-

Corn and oats derived their strength
largely from the action of wheat. Crop
estimates on corn and oats were con-
strued as somewhat bullish, but corn

the Protective Tariff is a price-fxing

It is not any one of them. What the

foreign producers from flooding our

pauper labor and keeping American
producers from selling in the home

not increase prices, unless keeping
foreigners from reducing prices to
