Rapidly decreasing decreas-ing world reserves had a good deal to do today with inspiring more friendliness for the buying side of wheat. Accordingly, the market closed firm at Jc to iRc net advance. Corn wound up ic to Slc above last night, oats with a gain of fl5Jc to Jc, and provisions irregular, varying from 5c off to a rise of25c. Falling off In the total of the world's available stock was given doclded attention atten-tion on account of being largely in Europe or ulloat from there. Besides the extent of tho dwindling, about 15.000,000 bushels, as compared with a year ugo, made the blilla alert for chances of a renewal re-newal of exports from the United States, the more so as a cargo of 150.000 bushels 01 nara winter wiicat was today loaded out of elevators and put under orders for shipment east. Export bids were but little lit-tle outside of working limits on new crop wheat Complaints of dry weather along the western edge or tho winter crop belt tended further to keep the wheat from any important setback. Several counties In Nebraska reported notable losses in acreage owing to lack of moisture. There was word, loo. from -Missouri that Hessian Hes-sian fly damage wns no longer a theory, but in Pettis county, at least, was a demonstrated fact. It looked as If liquidating sales for corn for the time had reached an end. The west and southwest reporter greatly improved im-proved demand from feeding sections, and some of the largo shorts here evinced conslderabln eagerness to cover on all weak spots in tho market. Cash dealers in Chicago said they were receiving good orders for immediate loading in fill In gaps cast before the bulk of the Argentine Argen-tine new crop would arrive. In the oats crowd, cash houses were conspicuous buyers, presumably removing hedges on spot oats sold overnight to go east Provisions broke sharplv as a result of continued unloading on the part of discouraged dis-couraged longs, who had to contend with a decline in the price of hogs. Packers, however, finally came to the s'upport of the market, and caused a rally, especially in pork. RANGE OF THK SHADING FUTURES. Wheat Ooop. HUh Ixin-. cio.
