Newspaper sen timent on wheat is bearish.

Just so long as it re mains cool it will be difficult to turn this market. The main question on the bull side of wheat is probably the d ar.ee that we are selling too much alrort' for July shipment. This query, however, will not affect September nd December wheat. For the second time Liverpool shows up with a big decline of lVs which Indicates Europe U r.ov under control of our decline.

Drouth in the cotton belt suggests a 70 to 75 corn condition July 1 in many southern state. Allowing a 70 condition for 20.000 000 acres and 80 for 20.000,000 nu re. tlie excellent condition in other itates would mean a July percent of 83 to 84. We ha v.; corn reports from 22 states in sven dty.i and 82 cents are good, runr.ine i) to 100 per cent condition. There are a few complaints from the central west, but 60 to 75 per ce'nt of the re7:rt3 come mainly from outside the big coin states. Supplies of corn at western termi- I nah. are trifling, but the east has run mtj anither supply oi piwi s:un. onni vi ioh mi last another two weeks. Thts holds the Chicago corn market. Spot Argentine corn in New York averages 72 cents, possibly 6 cents under .western corn C. L r.'ew York. T-r advances in Dei ember corn proo'lse to be restrained and thlB pe culiar new crop month may continue to be a target for investment sales after advances. The old crop corn months will probably have their later advances, though the "above seventy energy is lacking. The government oats par acreage yield for July 1 is 37.1 bushels. On a condition of 82 this would mean 1,155, 000,000 oats. The condition will have to exceed 85 if an above 1,200,000,000 estimate is to be indicated. Septem ber oats promise to repeat recent lifli its. - A week of dry weather would help the ndrthwest The chance of a Can adian dry before July 1 is eliminated by rafns. June, 1914, is one of the greatest, coolest, rainiest months for spring wheat on record. Possibility of a 10.000,000 or 12,000, 000 July wheat visibl is bullishly pow erless in face of the wheat torrents that the winter wheat belt is about to market. Wheat has a thousand rea sons for being in a rallying stage, but its tinder pressure position cannot change while Canada and the north' west remain cool. MUNICIPAL MATTERS JUNE Weather Forecast.
