CHICAGO, July 6-There was a break in
wheat early in the session, and the general
feeling during the day appeared to be of
h, aviness The lowest prices in several weeks
were touched The feeling was made more
"bearsh' at the outset than it otherwise would
have been by the great weakness at St Louis
During the opening hour reports from that
market were to the effect that nearly every
body selling and only the shorts" were
buying; that the receipts there included TO, 300
sacks of new wheat. with 10, 600 bushels more of
new wheat at Baltimore On the other side
were reports of great damage to the wheat in
shock in Kansas and Missouri by six
days continuous rain, and also reports
OF the Afghans massing troops on the
Russian frontier Between these two conflicting
budgets of information the traders at first
greatly at a loss to know what to do but the
bears were in the majority, and the market
weD~ down. Liverpool was reported easier, and
buyers were quiet. Large arrivals of wheat off
coast for orders were also noted. New York
steady at the opening. Prime reported that the
harvest was over in Tennessee and Kentucky,
ana the crop failure; the spring wheat in
Dakota was suffering from too much rain, and
heading out very short the ground, while
threshing was going on in California and the
yield about eight bushels to the acre, or one
third the amount Of last year. The expectation
OF another increase in the visible supply state
ment caused another wave of weakness in the
afternoon and the market closed for the day lSc
under Friday. Corn did not move enough to
make much of a market. August and Septem-
Der opened &c lower, struck 47c and then stuck
fast. Liverpool was slow. and our receipts pretty
good. New York was little easier on corn at
the opening. Prime said that corn north of the
Ohio rive was late and backward. and that sixty
days of exceptionally hot, moist and forcing
weather would be necessary from this time for
ward, to mature the grain But there is hardly
enough In the corn situation at present to talk
about, as it has become comparatively stationary
while receipts continue scanty and disappoint-
ing. Oats met with fair inquiry for local
speculation and shipping purposes; prices opened
rather weak, but stlffened before the adjourn
ment of the session and closed &c higher for
July, but &c lower for September than on Friday

fever scare at New Orleans, and broke rather
