Domestic wheat markets advanced sharply in the week ended June 25 due to deteriorating Canadian spring wheat, rust threats to U S crops, and a smaller European harvest. Rye strengthened with wheat, corn rose on wheat gains and light marketings, oats and barley unsettled amid ample old grain and new-crop offerings.
