to-day and all markets Inclined to weak
ness. Very little was doing in wheat.
Outside orders received were limited, and
the days speculative business was largely
transacted by local traders. The feeling
throughout was dull and weak. Settled
weather, light shipments and increasing
receipts which promise to be much larger
turned the movement downward, and
prices suffered general decline of 11s@
1Ic. A good share of the trading done
was for the September option. The best
prices quoted during the day were obtained
at the opening, and the lowest were reached
during the closing hour. The decline wit
messed occasioned little or no excitement.
A number of buying orders were on the
market, limited to about $1.O5 for October,
but when they were filled there seemed
little to sustain prices. New York advised
lot of wheat being posted as out of con-
dition, but this coming just at the close
had no effect on the market The feeling
is that next week will bring still lower
figures.

changes. The market was weak, and with
larger offerings of cash and future prop
erty than the demand was able to absorb.
The movement favored buyers. Lower
prices were the rule, and the decline suf-
fered was general, amounting to 20 &c as
com pared with yesterdays closing figures.
The receipts were again large, while the
weather undoubtedly had some influence.
Receivers were selling August corn moder-
ately, which would rather indicate they ex-
pected increased receipts should the ship
ping demand drop off as feared by some
the principal support of the market would
be withdrawn. Lester has been bear all
day, selling freely.
Oats were very weak. There was a de-
cline all round, and for cash and the bear
features the break was severe. The spec
ulative inquiry was rather meagre, and
shippers in view of the .dullness of the
market held off. There were
fair offerings. No. 2 cash de-
clined 215c, No. white, &c, and
sample lots were dull at the same conces-
sion; July weak at 224c, but regained 1o.
This option was pounded without mercy.
Eldridge was free seller of long oats, and
had it not been for Adams support much
lower range would have been seen.
Cash rye was shade easier. There was
no shipping demand of account, large
orders having been filled the last few days.
The futures show no noticeable change.
Sample lots of new barly were shown on
the market and bids we're solicited for lots
to arrive. There seemed to be no DISPOSE
tion to buy, New No. 2 for September
delivery was in good request and firm at
10 improvement. Sample lots were very
dull. Cash barley is not cared for at
present.
LTrading in the market for hog products
was only moderately active and largely on
speculative account. The receipts of hogs
were quite liberal for the closing day
of the week and prices ruled
higher, but appeared to have little infu-
ence on the course of the market. For
egn advices indicated an unhealthy feeling
in that quarter. Bacon was quoted Cd
higher, while lard was reported Cd lower.
The latter is probably due to the antici-
pated large arrivals. Eastern markets
showed little change. The receipts of pro-
duct were moderate and shipments quite
liberal of meats, but moderate of pork
and lard. The shipping inquiry was fair,
and some orders for large quantities, with
trading in a quiet way. At the opening
the market showed little more strength
and prices were slightly advanced on some
of the leading articles, but later in the day
weaker feeling prevailed, and a slight
reduction in price was submitted to, and
ruled rather tame at the close.
There was fair business IN the market
for mess pork, but the feeling was some
what unsettled. Outside orders were fair
and local operators were inclined to do 6
good business. The market opened
stronger, and prices were advanced so 10c
but the offerings were larger than the trade
in general way required, and reduction
of 15@ zoe was submitted to. The inquiry
for shipment was moderate. Cash in fai1
demand in quiet way and quotable a
$13 .90@14. The decline, begun in wheat,
was the sign for raid in pork. The cry
for meats is so eager that buyers cannot
obtain their purchases as soon as wanted
and light hogs are at premium ovel
heavy weights, but while shippers are
eager for meats there is no great call fol
pork.
Cudahy has returned from his vacation,
and like Fowler was inclined to be bearish
The talk to-day has been lower prices, anG
there may be some heavy selling before
any advance can be made. A bear rumol
was the appearance of hog cholera il
Missouri. There was fair inquiry fol
lard, and the offerings were moderate
Trading in the aggregate was not very
large in volume, and prices on the
whole range favored buyers to some
extent, and declined 5@715c per 1OC
pounds. The shipping demand wa
moderate; cash in moderate request ant
quotable at $8.9O@9. .95. Some 5000 hog
were received to-day and commanded SO
1Oc better figures.
Under the surrounding circumstances
the provision market may be reported a!
moderately active during the week JUS
