5p. m.-SpecUlation was at a low ebb dur
ing the greater part of tO-day's session on
Change, and prices showed little change.
The receipts were smaller here and at Kansas
City, but larger at st. Louis and Toledo. For |
eIgn adYlceS were unfavOraDle, quoting dull
and weak markets, and the shipping demand |
was limited. RumOrs that war had been de-
clared between China and France caused |
firmness and an advance of 3ac above early |
prices. Later there was more desire to sell, |
and prices receded &c, closing about the |
same as yesterday. On the afternoon board |
trading was active ana prices were higher, |
closing at 1S34G7S1sc for September, SO3sc for |
October, SIC for November, and S3Ec for De- |
cember. Trading in corn was fairly active,
with an unsettled feeling. The receipts were
smaller and the shipping demand moderate. |
The market opened at yesterdays prices, |
huctuated, then rallied under tar demand
about &c, declined under heavy offerings
about &c, fuctuated and closed &c lower. |
On the afternoon board prices rose 14G3sc, |
closing at 523Ic for August, 524c for Septem-
Der, and 50Ac for October. Oats ruled easier
on the regular board, but rallied on the after
noon board, closing at 25c for August and
September. In pork heavy offers caused year
delivery to decline 75c early, but it rallied
again and closed at Sl2 So; near options
showed no change. Lard ruled firm, and
closed at 571E for August and September
and 6715 for October.
