Wheat Averages Higher and Active Trading Takes Place. IN CORN RECEIPTS. Trading in Oats Shows No Espeocial Strength—A Fair Business Transe acted in Provisions—Too Many Hogs and Lower Prices. INCREASE CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cmoaso, June 20.—[Special ‘Telegram to Tue Bre.|—~Wheat averaged higher than yestorday's close nnd was traded in actively to-day. Towards the last the markot got rather soft and prices sought the lowest point of the day. As on yesterday, Dakota orop nows was the absorbing topio of disous- sion, Reports from there were similar in tonor to those received yesterday. Fromthe multiplication of advices from that quarter that are being received it is boginning to be understood that while the general average conditions of the orop of both Dakota and Minuesota is low, there aro some sections where the yield is going to be saus- factory, based on present prospocts. On the other hand, large areas of country will produce far befow the o, and in some cases almost total de- struction is reportod. The bad reports from Oregon are being confirmad. Of the ordors from the northwest a large majority continue to be on the buying side. Minneapolis pricas advanced 3@3'ge to-day. Winter whoat re- turns are favorable as al. One enthusi- astic correspondent in Kansas wired that a certain field had yielded sixty-five bushels to the acre, ndding, “This is extraordinary.” The reader may be in doubt as to whether the term ‘“‘axtraordinary’ applies to the story or the crov. Other advices, almost equally surprising, are boing poured in, but it is just as well to take such reports under advisement with the budget of “‘total ruin” dispatches from the northwes t, and bring in o verdict on the lot. There was big trading in the wheat pit, continuing nearly the whole of the session. July opened at 80Jc and December at S13c. During the first hour there was heavy sell- ing of both, the native futurcs' pressure upon December being heavier. John Bryant sold wmoro probebly than any other one broker. The market was kept aown for ahout an hour, July going to 80lgc and De- cember to 80%e. It then bagan to strengthen and a period of heavy buying under the lead of Lindblom and others followed. July sol up to Sllge and December to. 817 July hung around 8lc for a loug tima, but at about that prico a great amount of property pressed for sale. Considerable curi- ty was manifested as to the source of this wheat that seems to come out every time the price gets to Sle. Nobody was able to answer definitely, but the impression pra- vailed in the inner circle thatone or two firms with Kausas connections and excep- tional facilities in other directions were sell- ing agamst a large amount of whoat con- tracted for in the southwest ata low expecting to deliver the grain in Chi next month. The weakness became more pronounced as the session drew toward its close. July de- clined to Sl¢ and December to S0ljc, with a ratthng five of offerings all ulong line. The closing prices were as foll June, 81150, July, 80 September, 78 December, 83%c. As compared with yester- day the record shows u gain of iye in June, and a 10ss of 150 in July, September and De- cember, St. Louis keeps firing in bearish advices. At the same timo it is noted that the small amount of new wheat received thereis snapped_up greedily ata preminm over vld. New York reports little new ex- port business and good clearances. In the loeal vash market the only trade of impor- o0 reported was 50,000 bushels of fancy hard at 93¢, This is w go out at once, »m having been engaged for it. Pri- vate warehousos had late reports of rawm in the northwest. Receipts of corn have once more begun to to show by their incroasing volume that in- terior handlers of the article are free sellers on the present outlook. There is no abate- ment in she demand for foreign shibment or home consumption, which is actively main- tained at presont figures, but offerings of more than i3 required for these purpoaes have a nawural tendency to depress prices, even though curront values ure accepred s boing low. The business done was largely local, with, how fow selling orders from the came to the aid of the local The range of prices was row, while nearver de- firm, w_ d in August = and op as effected, tho former closing at and_tho latter at 3 3515 ¢ and July av 3 4 ) not especially active, though a fair aggrogato of speculativo business was recorded at nearly steady prices. Trade was largely in the way of evening up July de: as interest is growing outof that and extend- ing to the longer montns of September and Muy. There was covering of July shorts with that and the wwo succeeding months, The provision trade displayed fair activity. Cash buyers continued their buying with fuod freedom and in @ speculativejway trud- ng was on ascale 10 muintain more than oramary interest. The early break in prices was due largely to stock yard advices,which developed an . unexpectod demand’ from orts, and, with their covering, the market promptly showed a strong front. A large business was also transactod by parties en- guged in changing over July contracts out- standing to September. Theso transfers were made at a promium of 173 @0 for pork and lard and of 12)5@15¢ for short vibs.

The regular list showed considerable woakness and first pricos were gonerally from J§ to ¥ per cent below last night's figures, while further concessions of slight fractions were made in early dealings, Trusts, however, were decidedly strong, and lead, which opened up 3 per cent at 821¢, rose to 34, and sugar, which opened up & like amount at 11534, advanced to 117}, In the regular list St. Paul and Lake Shore took tho load, and following the action of the trusts, at the end of the bour prices were somewhat improved and held at the best figures of the morning.

MONEY DRAWN FROM THE W Trusts Cut Quite a Figure on 'the Now York Stock Exchange—More Intorost Than Usual Mani- fosted in Grain. In the Finano World. Crircaao, I, June 29, —[Specint Telogram to Tux Bre. ] —There has been more demand for financial favors during the wook, due to the fact that merchants and grain and pro. vision oporators are preparing for their regu- Iar monthly and semi-annunl settloments, Whilo the supply of loanable funds is ample, there is sufficient demand to keop the sur- plus funds of the banks fairly loaned up. ‘There has been more monoy loaned on stocks and bonds of late than at any time previeus on rocord, Chicago gas trust especially boing loaned on heavily, These are call loans, mostly placed at 4 per cent. ‘The general fecling regarding ratos is Hrmor, and o bank having a large line of call loans out at 4 per cent notified its borrowers that thoy must pay 5 per cent on July 1. Other bauks have dono the same thing, and in one instauce whero 1oans were out ab § per cent thoy wera raised to 6 por cent. This indicates that bankers are disposed to go a littlo slow in granting (0ans 1n the near future oxcept at higher rates. Discount rates woro 5@ por cont on vall and 6@8 per cent on time loans. Money has boen drawn from the west to the cast in increased volume, but iv will return in the course of a few wooks i dividends and interest. Rates of intorest in New York advanced slightly and ranged ot 2@4 per cent, and occasionally 5 per cont was paid on call. Now York oxchange met with good demand, and the supply boing small, rates advanced sharply. Transactions wore made at 40@70 conts pre- mium per $1,000, and olosed at 50 cents. Foreign oxchange woakened under increased offerings of bills drawn against exports of corn and provisions, and rates receded slightly. Sixty days' documentacy sterling on London sold at $4.85}¢@4.86 and olosed at $4.85%. On the New York stock exchange trading was active, but the was volame considerably less than during the preceedingiveoks, Opera- tors concentrated their attention chiefly to the ‘trusts”—sugar and lead boing tho favorites—and in the former the itement ot times ran high, The sentiment was bullish, but the demand oame chiefly from parties buying on slender margins, as prices have advanced above the point at which investors care to buy to any extent. The “‘trust” comprises all the sugar refin- eries in this country, but four. At this sea- son the consumptive demand for sugar is heavy and the “trust” is said to be making §100,000 profit per day. The total capitaliza- tion' is $50,000,000. The bidding was so spirited thav prioes wwere rushed up 11; points. The sclling to realiza profits struo stop ordors, and a decline of 13 points o curred in less time than was re- quircd o forco prices up. Sharp fluctuations marked trading the rest - of the week, but the closing prices wero slightly above thoso of the vprovious woek, Lead ‘‘trusts” were more hoavily traded in than any other property, and for the first time in history the sales of uunlisted stock exceeded those of the listed, The ac- «uisition of the Atlantic refinery at Brooklyn induced free buying and an advance of nearly 5 points, which was in turn followed by a recession of i points, Cotton oils appreciated over 3 points wnd Gas ‘‘trusts’ 3 ponts, but the advance was not maintained, *Coalers” weretraded in and advanced 34@1Y5 points, Western_ stooks were rather Slow, a8 advices regarding crops were too uncertain to induce operators to give them special attontion. Uncertaintity over the futuzo ratos also acted as a damper on buyers, and althongh moderate advances were recordod oarly, all disappoared, and moderate net lossos were recorded at vhe close. The aggrogate sales on the New York Stock exchange for tho week ending to-day were 1,016,000 shares. Rather more interest thun usual was man- ifested in tho leading grain markets during the week just closed, and speculativo trad- ing was quite brsk. Outsido purtios for- warded increased orders and locul operators were disposed to trado with more freedom, A nervous and uusettled feeling prevailed Quring u greator portion of tho time prices ruled with considerable irregula The bull contingent appeared to have con- trol during the early and middle part of tne woels, but toward tho close the fecling was not so strong and prices receded on all the leading articles. 'The wmarket was vir- tunlly a ‘*eather one.” Crop reports from all sources were very conflicting, but the roported damage by rain and insects had considerable offect on the markets for smaller grains, Adyices from abroad were not 80 encouraging. in fact, re- ports from eastern Burope wore more dis- couraging than ever, Kocelpts of grain at the principal western markets wore mod- erate, as farmers ure engaged in harvesting operations and cultivating their corn. Ship- ments of corn and oats wore moderately free to eastern markets, mainly by the lake route. The shipplug branch of the trade was fairly active, but buyers were rather slow to moet the views of scilers, Ordera to forward grain to smaller interior points were moderately froe. Provisions were fairly active and prices were ndvanced on all the leading speculative articles, but not supported to the close, Ar- ticles required for the shipping branch of the trado were in active request and sold at a further advance in prices. Recolpts of vattlo and live hogs were quite large at @il -the principal western markets, & good peroent- age of vhe former being Texans, Pucking in the west shows a further increase, with tho quality well maintained, Soeds woro stronger and higher on reports of dammge to the crops. A fair exchango is no robbery, unless it be a churoh fair exchange, ‘The fact that the administration went. flsl ing on Sunduy did not interfere with velig- fous services in other states.
