Show WHEAT ESTIMATES ARE FC0D CROP CHICAGO, June 15. Estimates that the total domestic production of wheat for 1917 would be nearly 30,000,000 bushels in excess of the government June figures did a good deal today to bring about declines de-clines in the wheat market. Quotations closed steady, 2c to 4c net lower, with July at $2.23 and September at ?1.96. Corn gained c to 2c and oats to 134c. The outcome in provisions "was unchanged un-changed to 6c lower. Almost from the outset opinion was general that the wheat crop this season would be considerably larger than the government report had indicated. Sentiment Sen-timent in this respect, however, became much more pronounced after the issuance issu-ance of a definite statement by a leading lead-ing authority that the outlook was for a yield of 685,000,000 bushels, as against 656,000,000. as suggested by the government. govern-ment. Advices from other usually trustworthy trust-worthy sources were to the effect that the winter crop especially had progressed of late under highly favorable conditions and that the quality was good. Col-d weather likely to interfere with the best development of corn had a bullish bull-ish effect on that cereal. A subsequent rise in temperatures acted as only in part an offset. There was likewise but a transient bearish influence from gossip that the condition of the crop was equal to a ten-year average and that the July government report would show a prospect pros-pect of the largest yield on record. Signs of export demand helped to lift oats. On the other hand, crop reports were excellent and a big increase of acreage acre-age was officially announced in Canada, Strength of hogs and corn upheld provisions. pro-visions. Considerable selling, though, was done , on account of expected disclosures of a much augmented warehouse stock of lard in Chicago. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES. Open. High. Low. Close.
