CHICAGO , Juno 23.-Wheat was ntrongly affect * ! by the bogy man of the Bhorts , fear of July manipulation. The re- null wns. a Rood many violent fluctuations nnd n closlne advance of about IHo In the July option. Other grain and provision mar kets were neglected. Corn closed un changed , oats Vic lower nnd provisions 2&Q f > c higher. In whpnt , thf main question wns again the Ju'y deal and the trading In thnt future BOOH disclosed the fact that It was nil nllve nnd fluffed -with dynamite. September got some ntlvnntncc from the rapidity of the opening bulge In July , but the former pro ceeded at a quite leisurely pace , wtillo the latter wan scattering the shorts by the force of Its llr.it cxploMon. Apart from the atti tude of the July future the Inlltienrcs of the early Items of news were general y bearish ) ol showeil only aid advance In re- . . . lo a USd rise hero yesterday. TMic . . . _ . licnrlsh fpnturo of the situation , how- iver. was the home harvest prospects. A winter whont eroti of ovrr "W.rxjO.OOO bushels Is generally admitted and t-nu news from the northwest was thai the spring wheat In the Ji.koliit < , Minnesota and Manllob * was innk. Ing excellent progroi . On the other hand , New York reports foreigners buying futuri'S nnd reports of damage by rtorms xvere thick fiom tap south and southwest. Chicago re ceipts of wheat were 1C ears. Minneapolis nnd Dnlutli gel 207 cars , against 41f > the cor responding day the year before. July opened nt from filc ! to 70c , ns compared with 7WW ( 70U-0 at the close yosterdav. It hovered fern n few minutes between 70'4 and "O c , nnd then fhot up to 71'4c. There wns plenty for mio nt thu latter price , both then nnd on other occasions during the forenoon when after downward reactions II came back with u ruph to that point again ; on one of the latter Midden recoveries Its Impetus could not be Hto'.ped until It got to TIHc. During the considerable Intervals when the hands of the manipulators were Idle , the price In clined to sag nnd trading was very light , lint tilirhly scnsltlvu to an order for more than [ i.OOO or 10,000 bushel ? . The best prices of the day were matlc about fifteen minutes from the c'ose. Several prominent houses were lirnvy buyers and In the general mauling July shot up to 72c. The closing prlco was 71'ic. Corn was firm but much less nctlve than onthe day before. The market for the most part followed wheat. Shorts , who wore on the run yesterday , were conspicu ous by their nbsenco today. The dullness of trade caused prices to sag late In the day , the result being substantially un changed prices at the close. Local recelpln were MG car . July opened Me lower nt 2ITWi2. > c , wild to Ej'.fyiJiaUc and declined to 2y t' ilAe. That was the closing price. OatH started firm , but yielded with corn. Trade was not large , In fact nl times the market was almost at n standstill , No fea tures of Interest were reported. Shipping demand was poor. July opened unchanged nt ISHe , sold at Iftffl&Uc , and declined to ISc. where It closed. Provisions wera slow but firm. The openIng - Ing was easier on the decline In prices at the yards. This decline was soon recovered on some short covering and outside sup- I rt. Trading at no tlmo was lively and was mostly limited to the early hours.

It In In the main n reflection of the move ment here , and the HrltMi public dl plays as yet no very maiked tendency to Interest llfelf In our securities. Commission bouse luiylnc here has groxvn , but thcie Is a general eomplalnt that It hns not done TO In proportion to the Rineral adxanre In Prices , nnd the market nt Intervals becomes dull. I'rufes | nnal traders who realized prullts have several times endeavored to | irtvrkc n reaction ; but recent cxptrlence with the market does not encourage operations on the short nlJe of the market. The appearance of some friction In the senate over the wool future , encouraging talk ) as to the bunlneFs out- louk. nnd rumort of Increased dividends on the shares of lending railroads , nil have eimiblned o malnta n the strongly bullish sentiment that n rejpon.ll.le for th present rl. p.

Many thousands of thnrcM of stock were bought on the SJtock ex change today at prices materially above last night's doting , the advance extending a point or over In many prominent slocks. Hut the mailtet sold oft later In the day on nreount of nppreben- flon caused by the largo volume of tuc gold Hhlpments by tomorrow's cttanier , J2.30o.OiX ) In all being engaged for export. Additional uneas iness was caused by the fact thnt the whole amount was taken from the fnlted Slates sub- treasury , or from the iifsay oHIre , In bars nnd no part from the/ banks or from prlutte sources as hr.t ) been the case with the most recent ship ments. The decline In the price of stocks , which resulted , was % ery marked , offering * In realize being very freely made for n time , nnd tln heav iness extended nil through the list. The bc- cllne , however , brought dullnes- . und n diminu tion of offers , Indlcatlm ; Ihe undertone of strengf.1 In the market. The week's shipment of sold nmountH to J4i > 00.noo , which Is a larger amount than has gone out In any one wi-ek since the first week of the present movement that endixl May S. when the exports were 19.100- 000. The subsidence of apprehension on nccount of gold exports In the stock market has been mostly due to the stability shown hy the gohl re serve In the United States treasury for several weeks past , about J4I.OHO.COO , In face of continued exports of gold by exchange houses. The nmount of gold In t'.ie trenpuryl at the close of business yesterday was SI42.783.4Sii , which Is considerably kiis than nt nny tlm - since the present gold movement began. Of.courre the withdrawal * of J2r.o0.t.CO do not appear hi the above fctnte- ment of gold In the treasury. The sterling ex change market was eatler under offerings of bills against the gold shipments , sixty day bills re ceding 'ic ' to J4.SG. Hut It Is expected there will be sufficient demand to Ktlffen exchange rates next week with further gold shipments ns a con- requenee. The supply of exchange In the mar ket Is. in facto , very .meager nnd nny extra demand has to be met by gold shipments. The volume of dealings today was larger than on any previous day of the year , the totnl sales of ail stocks reaching 323,000 shares , but nearly two- thlrda of that nmount was absorbed by Sugar , the grangers , Chicago Gas and Hay State Gap- There were 55,000 shores of Sugar nnd about 5ii.Cn > ) shares each of VU , Paul and Ilurllngton sold during the day. Sugar and the grnnirers led the advance , but the list generally receded to below last night's dene. Sugar , however , rallied partially and cosed | with a net gain of Hi per cent. Hock Island Is tlic only one of the granser group to choir a net gain , vjlilcli amounts to % per cent. Manhattan nndVestern Union gained IS per cent net fcach , and New Yo'rlc Cen tral a small fraction. Northern Pacific was wc.ik on rumors of n halt In the arrangement for put ting Its executive control Into harmony with Oreat Northern Interests. Union raclllc reacted on the action of the United States cnmml'i.lon In BUFpendine proceedings to sell the United States Interests to n syndicate. The more notable gains In the early advance were : Sugar , S j per cent , und Tobacco. Hay State Oas , Northwestern , Keck Island , Manhattan and New York Central , 1 per cent or over. Losses- which are fractional gen erally extend lo 1 per cent In New Jeiuey Centr.il , New York.

The bond market displayed considerable anima tion today , the transactions exceeding J2.000.000. The buoynnce wns apparent In a variety In Bomo lasues , good advances noted in Missouri Pacific collateral flrpt * , which rose 1 % per cent. The low-priced bonds displayed nigreFslvc strength , with purchares of the gilt-edged liens by Investment Interests tending to actuate the upward movement , which hou been In evidence for n long time. Governments were slightly higher on transactions , a block of J100.COO of the 5s coupon changing hands at 11414. The Kvenlng Post's l ondon financial cablegram - gram says : "The carryover In mines nnd In general securities absorbed attention In the slock market today. American * nnd Kalllm show the growth of a pceulntl\e nccount. Contangoes on Americans were 2 i to 3 per cent , the dearer , rates being partly due to denrer money at the end of the half year.
