GRAIN PRICES ARE

HEAT IS REPORTED
Traders Show Disposition e
Stand Aside, Awaiting
Developments

Chicago. June l9.-(P)-Late rallies
that were associated with hot weather
northwest and unfavcrable crop re-
ports from there gave firnness to
grain prices Tuesday at the last.
Eastern buying was in progress at the
finish. in both wheat and corn.
A rather pronounced disposition was
shown by many traders, however. to
stand aside and await new Develop
ments before taking an aggressive
stand on either side. Threading re-
turns from Kansas showed improve

Wheat closed firm, unchanged to y

4: corn X off to i up. July 5SA-h;
Sept. 601s.A: oats at n decline 70 u
advance and provisions unchanged to
I cents lower.
Increased selling pressure from
the southwest which developed on
fractional upturns o: prices pulled
the wheat market down soon to Mon
days finish and to about q cent un-
der early top figures. Something Of
steadying influence, however. was
the fact t..at congress had adjourned
without taking action toward enact
nient Of proposed measures for further
regulating commodity exchange trans
actionc.
Contributing more or less to bear
ish sentiment was notice taken that
the latest government forecast Of 1894
Kansas wheat production. 60.436.000
bushels. contrasted with Kansas coun-
" figures totalins only 74.223, 900.
another handicap to friends Of higher
prices was predictions cf widespread
showers and cooler temperatures in
wheat territory tonight and tomorrow.
European rains relieving drouth were
also reported. Corn and oats were
relatively firmer than wheat.
Provisions declined with hog values
and with grains.
