CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 26.-The wheat market
opened steady this morning, but tho fine
weather caused a selling movement which be-
came very general during the first half of the
session; and August dropped from 9Osc to
S93c. After the price had gone under 90c the
feeling became very bearish, and some large
''short" lives were thrown out. There were
more baying orders from the outside, however,
at the reducsd figures and the price was car
ried up to 904c, and the last trading of the
day was at 90ac, with q somewhat better feel
ing in the pits. A statement was made that
twenty two boat loads had been taken at New
entirely credited, but 1t had an effect
in causing the market to remain firm.
The statement of Statistican Tai
madge reducing his estimate of the crop
from 36l, 600, 0C0 bushels to 33l, ,OO0, 900 BUSH
els was accepted by the bulls as corroboratipg
in measure their views as to the certainty Of
short crop, but the statement did not appear
to have any very marked effect upon the
course of trading. Liverpool was quoted
quiet but steady, with the prics of English
wheat turn dearer. The receipts here con.
tinue fair and the shipments light.
CORN.
The receipts of corn were large and esti-
mated to be large again tomorrow, which
caused an easier feeling and the market closed
fc lower.
The market was dull and easy, with prices
s@4c lower, due to liberal receipts.
PROVISIONS.
Provisions ruled quiet but steady, mess
pork ranging @10c higher; lard, steady and
unchanged.
