GOOD WEATHER SENDS

BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. June 12.--Fine weather
for harvesting of wheat in the South
west led to general selling here to-
day and to lower prices for all
grain. Wheat values closed weak at
IL to 2 cents net decline, corn n to 1
down, oats q to 1h off, and pro-
visions varying from unchanged fig
TRES to a setback of 80.
With cutting of wheat we'll begun IN
Kansas and expected to be In fuli
swing Monday throughout the south
ern part of the State, previous buyers
were quick today to grasp profits on
an early upturn in price here. Then
speculative selling enlarged, houses
with Eastern connections taking the
lead. and with buying support for the
market giving out. A widespread
impression appeared to prevail that
producers would try to rush wheat
to market to take advantage OF COM
parative strength of cash premiums
for wheat available to be delivered at
once. A decidedly increased move
ment of wheat to primary centers was
therefore soon expected.
Some slowing down Of cash demand
here for wheat accompanied the down
ward swing of the market for future
deliveries. The cash wheat trading
basis in Chicago was quoted un-
changed to i lower, the latter for

Closely following the rise in the
steel was the advance in General
Motors, which attained new peak
price for the year at 1881, and closed
more than 2 points net higher at

reports that the company's business
had continued at a ecord-breaking
rate we'll into June. Other motor
shares failed to keep pace with the
upturn, although Chrysler. Stude-
baker and Mack Trucks registered
fractional gains.
Buoyancy of Leaders.
The demand for other representa-
tive industrials was stimulated by
the unrestrained buoyancy of the
leaders in this group: Du Pont moved
