IN ALL IVIARKETSiP
New York Court Decision Re'
sponsible for Rise.
SHARP ADVANCE AT CHICAGO
Tide Gain Also Scored at San Fran
ciscoLocal Bids 50 Cents
to $2 Higher.
Imrley markets strciirthened further
patrd&y on the assumption that the opinion
the United States Circuit Court of Appeals
at New York would cira brewers ths right
to manufacture 2 per cent beer. At Chl
co July barler advanced 3 cents to $1.14
and September sained S cents, doaln at
S1.17K cants. Ths bul at San Francisco
was pronounced, December selling; at 12-96,
ir- $2.90. ths last smlo of Wednesday.
Hi port bajring has heretofore been ths chief
factor la ths California market and the
posalbntty there would also be aa enlarged
clomeetio demand for a few months naturally
added to the excitement.
Oa the local exchange Jane bids oa brew
ing barley were advanced S3 a ton to f 55.50,
July offers were raised $1 and September
TS cents. Bids for feed barley were ad'
Weed 60c $ SI.
Local and eastern oats were 60c tf$l higher
ea bid, and yellow corn averaged 60 cents
lower. Millfeed was firm.
Weather conditions la the middle west, as
wired from Chicago: "Winnipeg, Kansas

Topeka, showers early; St. Joseph, clear,
rained hard last night.1
Liverpool cables there Is -no material
change in the position of corn supplies and
only small parcels of Platte grades beln
released. The general feeding situation will
probably sbow some improvement within
abort time, however, as slightly larger ar
rivals of Argentine can be anticipated, and
no doubt the Increased offerings of Canadian
feed barley will have some effect. Clear
ances from Argentina have fallen off mod
erately, but It Is believed the moveraem
will be maintained, as the government Is
reported as ordering a fair number of steam
ers to Argentine ports. Supplies In the
United Kingdom are low. Oats business con
ttnues on a limited scale. Moderate amounts
of native have been absorbed recently, but
as a rule merchants do not appear anxious
to trade In native sorts, ewrng to the poor
quality.
Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported

today, owing to the renewed strength of
Brazil, covering by recent sellers, European
buying and a moderate demand from the
local trade. The opening was 20 points
lower on -July, but generally unchanged to

Spot Quotations Are Cnchanged and
Nominal; Brazilian Crop Report
ed Damaged by Rain.
There was no change in wholesale coffee
prices yesterday. The eastern markets have
been fluctuating for several days and it Is
difficult to see what the outcome will be.
The New York speculative market, after
two days of declines, became firmer and
futures advanced 130 to ISO points, but spot
prices on the New York exchange were not
altered. The Brazilian market was strong
and 2000 mllreia higher, equal to about 3
cents a pound. This advance In Brazil wss
explained in a later cable aa duo to heavy
rain damage to the growing crop. New York
speculators, for two days, had been selling
the market short, but when Braslllan In
terests began buying futures at New York
yesterday the reaction waa sudden and
sharp.
Local dealers who attempted to buy cof
fee in the leading markets said they were
unable to place order as sellers would not
let go except at exorbitant prices. There
fore, they believe snother general advance
in the market Is due. though few cared to
predict what course the marketa of Brazil
may take in the near future.
NEW YORK. June 3& There was a sharp
