CROP REPORTS SEND
WHEAT PRICE UPWARD
Setback at Start Quickly Overcome.
Corn and Oats Easier in
Today's Trading.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Unfavorable
crop reports from Kansas led to an
early upturn in wheat prices today
after a setback at the start. The ini-
tial weakness was ascribed more or
less to rains in the Northwest and
West. Opening unchanged to "a off
wheat underwent a moderate general
drop and then rose all around to
above yesterdays finish. Corn and
oats were easy; corn starting un-
changed to a off, and later fuctu-
ating within narrow limits. Provisions
developed firmness
Assertions that Kansas has lost TO-
100000 bushels of wheat since June
] were current here today, credited to
a recognized unofficial crop authority.
The reason given was heat and
drought. According to this source of
information. there is a lot of shrunken
wheat in the territory from Hutchin-
son, kans.. to Wichita, Kans.. where
the harvest is now in full blast
Efforts to lift prices in the wheat
market today, however, had to en-
counter opposition on the ground that
or all the year the last two weeks of
June are the least encoura ging period
FOR such operations. Nevertheless, il
was contended that Spring wheat crop
damage reports are yet to be reckoned
with, and that the present domestic
