COARSE CEREAL GAINS OVER THREE CENTS Palis Malta No Attempt to Restrala .Yalaee aad Stampede Follows Other Pita ISegrleeled, All - t'lostaa; Lower. CITTCAOO. June 17. Corn was on the rampage today, and. headed by the bull crowd that has cornered July options, led the unfortunate shorts a rapid and ex citing chase. Early In the day the word went "round that the screws were to be put on the shorts long before the nettling day. Nervousness pervaded the pit and aoon the ahorta began to accept the In evitable and got out of their deals with aa little lost aa possible. A tight hand wai hold on much of the corn early, but aoon the market ran away. The bulla did rot seem to rare to keep It In check and the day cloaed with a net gain of 3 He In July corn. Other pita were neglected In the Interest that centered In corn, and July wheat cloned a shade down and July oata a shade lower. l'rovlslons closed Shi j74c lower. The corn pit wsa In a constant boll from tart to finish. It wai a day for corn mnri nrftfttrn 11 v evervthlna- else was lost alght of. Pit conditions were mixed. There la little doubt that the principals back of the corner In July, which Is credited to the Otttes' and Wall street crowd, are trying to move out all contract atuff. The country probably could furnish plenty of tuff with which to supply the shorts, but the wet weHther worked against the grad ing. Of today's receipts only 10 out of 378 cars graded No. 2. Trlmary receipts were Increased to 477,000 bushels and private levators were making good Increases In stocks. But, all told, there was cause for fear among the shorts, for It Is thought by old speculators that the long-expected aquerse Ts at hand, otherwise the bulla would not allow the price to run away as It did today. Contract stocks today were a little over 2,0n0.ono bushels. The bull crowd Is credited with having lB.OOO.ono bushels of July. Predictions are for 76a corn, as a result of this situation, and fluctuations today warranted such predic tions. July opened unchanged to He up at 64c to 64"4c after having sold yester day as low as 63c. A sharp ten minutes buying sent the price to 60e. "The bulls supplied enough long stuff on profit-taking to let the price slip back to 66V,c, but then the shorta became panic stricken, the mar ket turned erratlo again and July shot to 67M.C, where It closed very strong and 8M,c higher than yesterday's close. The Oates crowd was on both sides of the market, but sold more than It bought. Ueferred futures were traded In lightly, but wers Influenced somewhat by the ad vance In July. Cash business was not so good as recently and country offerings were small. Cash stuff was selling E'usc under July prices. Wheat ruled steady. It was strongest early on higher Paris cables and showers southwest. Traders Bald the wet weather was Interfering with harvesting and for this reason would sell little. The absence of any heavy trading worVed against prices and. although July corn strength helped wheat somewhat, fluctuations wore very narrow. July opened unchanged to ic up at 72ra72'tc and sold to 72c Light selling caused a dip to 71T4i 78c and July closed steady and a shade lower at Tl& 72Mbc. The chief bearish Influence at pres ent appears to be the scattered first ar rivals of new wheat here and In the south western markets, although good premiums re reported on sales of new wheat. IcaJ receipts were 48 cars, 18 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported SS cars, making a total for the three points of 148 cars, against 150 laat week and 437 a year ago. The worlds available supply de creased 4,461,000 bushels. Primary receipts were 279,000 bushels, against 486,000 buaheW Inst week. Seaboard clearances In wheat end flour equaled 142,000 bushels. The sea board reported 31 loads taken for export. OaU were dull but steady, fluctuating within a range of only c. There was not much stuff offered, although receipts wers liberal at 226 cars. Trade paid more at tention to corn. July early sold at 89c, dipped to 86c and closed a shade lower end steady at 29Hc The provision trade was almost nil. Hors were easy at the yards, and after a little early support prices In the pit slid back slightly. July pork sold at $17.86 and closed 7Vo down at $17.56, July lard cloaed 5c down at $10.15 and July ribs 2Vc lowor at $10.40.

Conditions were rather against sellers, ss weak markets prevailed at other leading centers. The market opened slow, with a lower tendency all around, and while the right toppy grades were not so much off, the commonlsh loads were generally quoted around 6c lower than yesterday. Choice shipping lots and good butchers and heavyweights sold right close to steady and from that on down to 5c off on light and common packing grades. Good heavy and butcher hogs sold mostly front S7.25 to 7.3o; medium and heavy mixed, I7.2iij7.30, and lighter grades on down. There was slight change in the market throughout trie day.
