CHICAGO, July 16.-Grain opened stronger,
but soon eased off, with little trading. There
Were no outside orders, and the local crowd
were afraid to do much. They sold wheat
down nearly lie and corn about &c, on the fine
crop prospect, and reports of more failures in

cattle when in anything like de cent condition,

4 %, mostly at the latter prices. A few lots
that suited the city butcher trade sold at 4 80
to 4 so. The bulk of the Texans were held too
high for Nihners, and were not good enough
for the dressed beef trade; so they were slow
to sell. Old COWS and other rough native
stock is 10 to SOC lower than last week, and
hard to sell. There is a fair business in stock
ers and feeders at steady prices. Export
