CHICAGO, July l7.-There were several things
to MAKE wheat weak to-day. The representa-
tives of foreign houses who took literally yes
terday were not buyers this morning to any
extent. The number of shorts was greatly
diminished by the taking of Hutchinson's wheat
for several days flutchinSon'S brokers are
still pretending to do business on the bear side.
Export Clearance5 were but Few Thousand,
but this was partly balanced by the amount Of
-four moving away from the Seaboard. Early
cables were firm, but wheat was weak and lower
at New York. The 20O. 900 bushels received at
Minneapolis yesterday and $50 900 additional to-
day gave rise to the idea that the visible supply
in the northwest may yet be considerable. a
few minutes before the close futures here were
uniformly NC under the close last night, al
though the range for August was close to lie,
and the price was at one time nearly &c under
August sold at 1880 and S01s6s04c; September
1914 a 1880 and S016c: December S1720S23lc
Before the close August rallied to 1890 and
dropped back to 1919c to 1886 TO the close.
September closed at 1890. Corn started Nc
under last night because the receipts 1913 cars
were so near the estimate and more than gen
era expectations. In addition to the large re-
caipts there was pounding by several local
houses, and with no outside support the market
broke easily lc early. August sold at ij1sc and
1890; september sold to 4534c, closing at iG2s,.
In oats most of the attention of traders was
turned to near futures while less than the
usual interest was exhibited in deferred deliv-
cries. aside from May, which was without
marked change. July opened steady and soon
advanced 15c TO 3lMc, at which figure there was
but little trading, with the price soon ecsding
to Bic, at which there were numerous tranSac-
tons August lowered around 2jL6c all day,
and the following months at about y dis
count. Business in provisions was light. Alri-
walls Of hogs were disappointingly small and
prices &c to 10; higher. The market for cured
products, however, was weaker, and at the
close decline Of l0c IN pork, i1sc on lard, and
&c on short RIB sides was established. Outside
holders have become discouraged ut the con
tinued dragging tendency aud GecIde to close,
and number OF small lots We're thrown over
board, There was little buying support. hence
moderate offerings caused weak ness and Il de
cline in prices. August pork opened 1Ioc lower
