Corn executed a high nd lofty tumbling feat today. Nerve-racking- excitement over the rimer In July options ruled the day. From the Opening of the pit the Wall street clique enoved prices In such an astonishing man ner that the giratlon exhibited were such aa made yesterday's erratic ups and downs look like any ordinary "smoking room day." Every natural condition Inherent to the pita wan Ignored It was a bottle for mllllonii, with rratty men on enrh Bide. Today It suited the big manipulators to allow price to Jump skywards for a time and then It an oddly Fulled them to push them down with remarkjble rapidity. The range of J.tly corn and that m all that was of Importance on 'change today con sisted of an upturn of lVfcc at the opening, a clump of 3Sc. from the top price and a allitht recovt-ry from the bottom figure. Other pita naturally felt the Influence of euch pranks, but most speculators In other commodltlea did not allow their Judgment to be marred, and In the end July corn closed 2c down, July wheat He higher and July oats He lower. Provision closed yf Jyc higher. At the start the corn shorts, fearful of a repetition of yesterday's rocket-like ad vance, bid wildly for corn to cover their account. The big bulls came openly In the pit and bid against them. In a trice Jilly, which closed yesterday at 67He, made almultaneoua sales at 60 and Bsc. This was too good a price for longs to with stand. Men who had loaded up with stuff around 62c or under let the crowd have In plentiful lots. The Gates clique tried to hide Ita hand, but the crowd soon learned that It waa unloading large quantities for profits. The little shorts were content to get out of the market with losses, even on a declining market. It seemed to be the Intention of the big bulls then to squeeze out the small bulls who had "tailed'' after. Xn order to do thla stuff wns thrown on the market In big lots. Several million bushels were unloaded on the shorts at tancy prices ami a considerable amount of long stuff that was sold near top fig ures waa taken In by Influential parties on the slump. Pursuing auch tactics It took the bull contingent a comparatively short time to push prices down 3Hc from the top price, until July sold at 65c. Fluctuations of ordinary magnitude were considered ridiculously amull today. All tracers were nervous and excited. The pit had practi cally all the Interest on the board. At the close July was atlll congested, but com paratively weak, 2c under yesterday, at 6B'c. September waa strong early on the July bulge, but Bold off on general liquida tion. The atory waa going the rounds that September la to be given a whirl similar to that now experienced by the nearer de livery. At the close experienced tradera did not know what to think of the condi tion. There has been talk of 76c corn, but against this la arrayed the possibilities of large contract grading by private ele vators. In three days 600,000 bushels of con tract stuff have been made. Weather re ports) were not good and bad new of the crops waa coming In. Receipts today wars 219 cars, 21 of contract grade. Wheat had a fairly active day, with a Jlberal trade, but the feeling waa nervoua ind tense In sympathy with the congested condition of the corn pit. The advance In corn at the opening had something of a reflection In an advance In wheat and the later slump waa accompanied also by a following weakness In wheat. In the end, however, natural conditions prevailed to some extent. The Impression gained ground that weather conditions abroad have been very wet and cool and crops as a result have Buffered. There waa also more wet weather In our winter belt. These In fluences, In spite of liberal receipts, helped July wheat In an opening advance of 4o, at 72c, and pushed It to 72V4c Sep tember wheat, which had been bought rather freely by Influential Interests, was unloaded to the extent of about 2,000,000 bushels and In consequence broke 1c. This depressed July to Tlttc. Late In the ses sion 200,000 bushels of cash wheat were worked here for export and the seaboard reported 23 loada taken for the same Dur- poae. This caused talk of bad weather In Fiance and England again, and Improved the demand. July closed firm, He up, at VZHfSfiZHo. Local receipts were 87 cars, 8 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 274 cars, making a total for the mrvo (iviiiin vi oil earn, Hfftinsi MOO lam week and 311 a year ago. Primary recelota were 692,000 bushels, compared with 432,000 Duaneis last year, neaooara clearances In wheat and flour equalled 171.000 bushels. Trade In oats waa email and unimportant. Natural conditions were somewhat bullish, but the slump in corn took oats down a little ways with it, and there waa very little recovery. Cash business continued good and wet weather was reported work ing against crop conditions. Receipts were liberal at 113 cars, but the contract grade was small. July aold from 39fto to 2ao ann ciosra yc aown, at 3vc. Provisions were very dull, but showed very gooa strength. Manipulation still con tlnued at the hands of packers, but the manipulators put out a good argument for the advance. In that the cash stuff was being taken by the seaboard aa fast as manufactured. July pork sold at 117.67 and closed 6c hlaher. at 317.SO: Julv lurd closed &&7V4o up, at I10.20igl0.22tt. and July rum ivv uirfiirr, si eiu.tift.

HEW YORK"' STOCKS AND BONDS. General List Enllrene and Railroaders Permeated with Strength. NEW YORK. June 18. Leaders of the bull campaign in stocks made more aggres sive demonstration today tnan at any time since the campaign was inaugurated. The market broadened and tnere was a ma terial Increase in activity and the volume of dealings over that for any one day since some time before the first of the present month. The atrenrth of the market was pretty generally disseminated through the rail road list, but the Industrial department as a whole waa a conspicuous exception to the etrengtn prevailing eisewnere. Tnere was little news to account for the rising ten dency. The bulk of the operations was at tributed to the western speculative party, which was credited yesterday with having secured a corner on the July option in corn, The distress or tne snorts in ine corn market this morning seemed to give added effect to the demonstration In the stock market, but the aharo reaction later In corn did not r.lter materially the tono of me siock mantel. The news of the day was rather adverse to the rise In stocks. For Instance, the calling of a national convention of coal miners In Indianapolis must be regarded as Increasing the probabilities ot a suspension of work amongst the soft coal miners. On what principal this news should Induce an active demand for Reading and also for the sort coal carrjerB is not very clear, in fact, realising made Itself effective in Reading and wiped out all Its gain. The report of too copious rains In the southwest, except in a portion of Texas, where it was needed, makes It equally dif ficult to account for the strength of the southwestern grangers. Nevertheless, Mis souri Pacific was absorbed on an enormous scale.

The bulk of the offerings consisted, however, of butchers stock and stockers and feeders. Beef steers again mads up a fair propor tion of the dally supply. The market ruled slow and weak and was generally quoted around a dime lower on the medium and common offerings. Dry lot beeves. If fin ished, sold well up to recent quotations, a bunch ot good beeves selling at 87.65, as high aa anything In the beef line has sold this season. Grass beef and ahortfeti steers were slow, and It was late before any thing like a clearance was effected at the decline noted above. Cows and heifers were mostly lower unless good, with common lots here and there quoted 610c off. Thin stock la Bell ing lower from day to day, aa the supply of grassers Increases. The decent grades were picked up In fair season, but inferior cows and heifers sold very slowly. Bulls, stags and veal calves came under the general decline also, and the market waa more or leaa of a drag. Heavy feeders. If showing quality, moved reasonably freely at practically unchanged prlcea. Coarse grades, either light or heavy, are not wanted and were a drag through out the day. Decent steers are selling largely from 84.25 to 84.75, and others from t3 00 to S4.26. Representative sales; No, Av. Tr. No. At.
