Wheat Prices Raised
By Crop Data and
Foreign Demand
Outlook for Domestic
Winter Yield Held
Poorest on Record
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Poor prospects for the American
winter crop and strength In foreign
markets have lifted domestic wheat
prices to the highest level Of the
season, the Agriculture Department
said today.
Continued dryness caused further
deterioration In the American crop
last week, the department said.
Conditions were said to be the
poorest on record, leading Official
forecasters to predict a small crop of
800 900 900 bushels.
Domestic cash wheat markets did
not follow the full advance in fu-
lures last week since demand slack
ened somewhat at the higher price
levels, the department said. Prices
Of most classes, however, were well
above 81 bushel at the principal
markets. On the Pacific Coast the
market for cash grain was weak.
Soft and Western white sold at
Portland December 81 at Sc cents
bushel.
Corn Gains Further.
Corn markets made further gains
despite an upward revision in official
production estimates and less ia
vorable feeding ratios. The depart
ment said the current supply of
corn was the largest In recent years.
Despite the plentiful supplies, mar
ketings nave fallen below those Of
the previous years. The light move
ment is attributed in part to the
holding tendency of growers, who
plan to obtain Federal loans. Near
ly 240,000,000 bushels of the 1888
crop were resealed, and reports in
dicate that growers this season are
placing even larger quantities under
seal on farms than year ago.
Market prices OF corn have been
mostly above the loan rate, but no
appreciate increase ID sales of corn
by farmers has yet been reported.
Feeding Ratios Cut.
The advance in the corn market
with no corresponding gains in live
stock prices, the department said,
has made feeding ratios less favora-
BILE, and this has been reflected in
slow demand. Export trade has
been negligible this season, and less
than 1000, 900 bushels had been ex-
ported to the middle of December,
with more than half this moving
out in October.
Oats markets maintained a firm
tone last week, while barley mar
kets were steady with prices ma
terially unchanged.
Rye markets reached new high
levels for the current season, in
f1uenced by the strength in wheat
and poor prospects for the new crop.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Like many
another winning streak, the nine
game march Of the Detroit Tigers
splintered against the rugged de-
tenders of Yankee Stadium today
as the world champions punched
three hits for run in the ninth
inning to win, to 0.
Red Ruffiing and Buck Newsom,
the only pitchers in the American
League to win 20 games last year.
squared off in a scorless pitching
duel, with the big Yankee veteran
getting stronger as the game wore
along and the loquacious Newsom
weakening under the strain.
Then in the ninth inning the Van
KEGS broke out with their inevitable
run. Ruf1ing himself started it with
a single, but was forced by Frank
Crosetti. Red Rolfe punched a low
liner into right field for double and
Tom Heinrich nearly blasted New
SONS gloved hand loose with a
single which brought in the win
ming run.
Newsom allowed only four hits for
eight innings, but was in frequent
trouble from six passes he gave
and four errors committed by two
Jittery teammates, Pinky Higgins
and George Tebbetts. He squeezed
out with the bases loaded in the
second and third innings.
Failure to hit in the pinches
spelled defeat for Detroit. The
Tigers loaded the bases in the first
and got seven of their eight hits
In the first five innings. But Ruf-
fling famed seven and received the
benefit of brilliant support.
