KBvIsw OF Tbs CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, July 20.--The tendency during
nearly the whole session was toward lower
prices. The exception was toward the end,
when several Improbable stories, mostly
located abroad, were unloaded on the
crowd. The rains In the iI1med late neigh
rhoOd, and an apparent prospect OF their
being continued through the corn belt
having an easing effect TO the extent Of OF
a cent from 7oAc. Tie decline to 7Sc. was
very steady, but not particularly rapid.
The receipts were again very heavy. and
rather aided the depression In the wheat
pit. The most important domestic news
was McCormicks reports from Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, aud Iowa
showing a reduction OF - per cent. since
the last Of June, making Ia per cent. below
the condition existing at the end OF July
last year. While this report was leaking
