Prices Undergo Severe Break
Owing to Perfect Wealth
er Conditions ii.

Chicago, June 1O.-<P)-Corn un-
derwent severe break, in price to-
day owing largely to perfect weather
conditions for planting. Besides pre-.
dictiOns were current that the final
acreage of corn this year will be at
least equal that of 1926 and that
Argentine corn meanwhile. will be
largely imported into this country.
On the other hand, wheat prices to-
day scored gains on account of the
bullish showing Of the government
crop report.
Corn closed heavy az to 5 cents
net lower; wheat unsettled at n to
X cent advance; oats II to "a down
and provisions showing Is to 35@37
gain.
Wheat trading today was of un-
usually broad volume, with commits
sion house buying persistent in the
face Of the fact that selling to real
ize developed in all bulges. The out
standing feature was that the gov
eminent estimate of the probable
yield of domestic winter wheat was
far less than the lowest private fore
cast.
With prospect OF reduced yield
not only in the United States but
also in Argentina, Australia and
Canada, wheat buyers today took
into account too indications that
Europe was not unlikely to duplicate
its short crop Of last year. Unfavor-
able weather reports today from
Kansas and Argentine contributed to
wheat market strength, whereas i'm
proved conditions for corn planting
