Show JULY WHEAT SCARE is w m Flurry Was Evidently "Cooked Up" by Speculators for Own Selfish Purposes. CHICAGO. June 10. As a bogey, the Idea of a squeeze In the July wheat delivery de-livery here was put out of business today, to-day, for tho time being at least. The fact that new crop Texas grain of high quality Is within 3u of tho Chicago market mar-ket basis served to give the trade a rest as to any supposod stringency. It was also asserted that the July scare had been manufactured by local speculators. However that may be. an Increased premium pre-mium for that option was wiped out, ano the market cased off uniformly, closing at a net decllnu of 34o to lc. Corn finished o to 3c down and oats Jgc Final figures for provisions ranged 2c lower to 12c higher, Pressure of new wheat on the Texas markets and of old wheat, at Kansas City greatly relieved anxiety on the part of bearlshly disposed traders In Chicago. Fine weather, easier cables and Improved crop prospects all combined to depress quotations. Even moro forceful in. this respect was the discovery that tho edge seemed to be coming off the cash wheat market. Mills have been generous buyers lately and wer.c said to be well stocked. September started within a lc limit from O03c to 013c, closing easy at 003 90Zc a net loss of Slc. Forecast of weather generally warming warm-ing up and clear overmastered nervous shorts In the corn market. September ranged between 501595!c and OOgc, finishing fin-ishing easy at 502c. The cash market was firm: No. 2 yellow closed at GO G0c. News that new Texas oats were offered in St. Louis on a. basis of 31c had considerable con-siderable to do with weakening the price of the cereal here. September fluctuated from 351(9,'352c to 353c. remaining finally on the low level. Purchases by local shorts In provisions rallied that market. In the end pork was 2c lower to 12c up: lard 2c to 5c down, and ribs at a net advance of 2c. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES.
