RALLIED SOME ON SHORTS COVERING Corn nnil Ont Cloicil Higher nnit Pro- Tlnlona Were UnclmtiRod-Otlicr Wliertl Kxpctltlng Countries Itcport Good Crop 1'roipoct * . CHICAGO , Jtinn 17. After n 2 } e break on tig foreign shipments , weak cables and bet ter crop reports wheat was rescued today by short * , nnd closed but I'.lc lower than on Saturday. July corn closed 'Sin higher , September oats lie higher nnd provisions without change. More long wheat was for sale at the opening , nnd no buyers could be found for It nt that time , within from 9ic to lo per bu. below the price It clewed nt on Saturday. The first trnnnuc- tlons In July were from " : % c to 74'c , ngalnut 7Hio at the close of the session on Saturday. On Saturday June sold .as high ns 8Ui' , BO that In exactly ten days a do- cllno of 8c per bu. took place. The addi tional weakness was due to an early lull- nation In a Liverpool cablegram , received before the opening , that the cither export ing countries of the world had moro than made up for the falling oft In the shipments from this side. It quoted Id lower In the prlco and added the significant remark "shipments large. " Later In the day , whenever over 9,000,000 bu. was found to have been put afloat last week , although this coun try and Canada hud only contributed 1,700- 000 bu. of the quantity , the weakness with which business for the day began was In- tcnHlflcd by the covering purchases of wheat previously sold short , which were heavy enough for about half nn hour , becauce of reaction from around 74-c nnd "I'/to ' to 74c , but the Immense amount of the week K shipments told how they were regarded by the crowd when about lOiSO o'clock n drop to 73"iC had taken place. The market - kot became weaker nnd weaker 118 the ses sion progressed up to about 12 o'clock , when the decline was arrested. The reaction which followed the further decline to 72'ic was not due to any noticeable buying out- sldo of what was being taken to cover shorts. Crop news was not as plentiful a ? for some days back , but such ns came to hand showed no general Improvement. From MIsFourl the tenor of the majority of the dlppnlchcs was that the damage In that state had been overstated , placing the outlook at no more than half a crop , nnd that It would turn out about 75 per cent. Fiom Ohio , on the other hand , the extent of the damage was described In almost Ecnsatlomil terms , and was mch as to lead lo a probable destruction of one-half of the wheat nnd oats crops. Indiana and Illinois appeared to have ceased mentioning their damage , but the trade for the most part accepts the fact that the most extensive harm to wheat has appeared In those two states and In Kansas. The visible supply decreased 2,022000 bu. , and the total Is now down to 47,717,000 bu. , compared with C7.- 105,000 bu. In 1S9I , and CC.375.000 bu. at the conespondlng time In 1S93 , The northwest ern receipts were 235 cars , compared with 272 cars a. year ago. Atlantic port clear ances since last reported on Saturday were pqual In wheat and flour to only 1G3.000 bu. One Item of the day's news , which helped the bears , was a cablegram from Odessa , saying that the nusslan grain crops promised to repent the heavy yields of 18'.O , rye being especially good. The price began to Improve from 12 o'clock , and trading nt 7lc for July was In progress within a few minutes of the close , the market end ing at 73c. The corn market was under n spell of weakness at the opening , which lasted till the agony was parsed In wheat. The feelIng - Ing In corn did not nt any time approach the heaviness of that In wheat , and after the receipts estimated for tomorrow became known as only IfiO earn , Instead of weak ness , there ensued n feeling of confidence. The receipts were 174 cars , nnd 11,000 bu. by canal. The visible supply decreased 797,000 bu. , against 411,000 bu. decrease n year ago. The total In sight now Is 10,785- 000 bu. , compared with 7,00:1,000 : bu. at the corresponding time last year. Argentine shipped 587,000 bu. to Kuropo last week , but the amount on ocean passage now Is 80,100 bu. less than It was last week. July corn opened at 4S'iiC , compared with 48iic at the close on Saturday. The tendency after the first few minutes was toward Improvement nnd after following wheat for nn hour or so It struck out for itself and landed at 'ID c. A very nctlve market was reported for oats. The early session was remarkable for the weakness created by free selling by New York , and also generous offerings of long stuff. Later on the buying become general , and from that time on n firm mar ket was noted. I'rlces rallied and closed steady for July , nnd higher for September. September ranged from 27c to 28c , clos ing nt 2SJc. The provision market was nffected for an hour after the opening by the various changes In wheat , but later on In the day It took corn for Its leader and recovered n small decline made nt the start , leaving off firm without change from Saturday's clos ing rates. Hog receipts were 23,000 head. Estimated receipts for Tuesday : Wheat , 2 ( ! cars ; corn , ICO cars ; oats , 2S5 cars ; hogs , 20.000 head.
