CHICAGO, June 23.--The wheat market was
one OF extraordinary dullness, after brief
season of activity at the opening. The Chicago
visible supply statement showed increase of
300, 900 bushels while the New York statement
showed decrease of 400, 900 bushels. These
varying statements, however, equalized the ones
made respectively by the statements the pre-
ceding week. A decline in prices was apparently
anticipated by the crowd, and there some
free selling at the opening but the market
steadied rapidly, and it was found that there was
very little wheat on sale. which caused quick
upturn of &c. From this point on the market
dragged, in spite of which prices remained firm,
and closed for the day &c higher than Yesterday.
AT one time during the regular session trading
business ceased entirely and the light trading
during the last half of the regular session was
unusual The outside news was of negative
character, and had little effect on the market.

sas, with an improved outlook over the June state
ment by the State Department of Agriculture.

couraging reports from Missouri and California.
Reports from two of the most productive coun-
ties of Missouri indicated that the yield would
not be sufficient for seed Light receipts
were estimated for to. morrow, and larger clear
ings from the seaboard caused the later frmness.
The receipts of corn were large, but the expecta-
ton of light receipts caused firm feeling which
became m ore pronounced as the day advanced,
and the market closed in the afternoon fully /

is small, and the cash offerings are picked up
readily every day. There was an improved feel

feature of interest being developed, and there

prices. Provisions ruled slow, with prices a
