MARKET NEWS BUYING OF WHEAT LARGER Greater Amount Is Taken on Account of Weather Reporta Chicago, June 15.—Wet weather impairing the crop outlook, especial- ly in Kansas, led to increased buying. of wheat during the early trading and gave a material lift to values. According to one authority the con- dition of the crop in Kansas was at such a critical stage that the rain would be likely to destroy a heavy percentage in the area that has had the best promises. Qpening quota- tions which ranged from one-half to 7-8 cents higher with July $1.11 1-2 to $1.11 3-4 and September $1.09 1-2 to:$1.09 3-4 were followed by moder- ate further gains.
