CHICAGO, June 20, 1S7O.-Such heated tern
as we have suffered here for the last ten days
has not been experienced for years. The
long continued drouth has affected wide
extent of country, and done serious injul to
| the growing crops. For two or three days
we have had slight showers IN different artr
of the city and vicinity, but none extensive
enough to include the whole city at once or
heavy enough to do more than merely We
| the surface. The indications of ram. ID lay,
| however, are stronger than usual, and glth-
ering shower in the West promises a good
deal of moisture somewhere. 1t il ,adly
needed.
THE MONEY MARKET
is still stringent, and though the banks lcai
lIiberaly with shippers, they discourage th
| holding of grain here IN large quantItlcs, by
recurring the holders 10 put up large MAI
gins. There is very large amount of
WHEAT IN STORE
here, held at prices which make a ma sin
against the shipper, and the amount Iu-
cTeasIng instead Of diminishing. This, NIth
the amount in store in Milwaukee, c" sta
tutes the chief grain supply of this cOu ny,
for there is very little held IN New J ri
And the policy of the owners seems to hu To
hold it TIL European purchasers CON- 10
their terms. Wheat has fallen l3 cents IA d.
week, aud ranges al l.O5gl.O6.
