CHICAGO, July Alt was a day of uncer-
tanties in the wheat pit, and scalpers had the
market very largely. The lowest points Of the
week were touched early because 1t was be-
lieved that a leading operator was selling the
last of his long wheat while his regular
brokers were binding the crowd by buying
some. The slack condition of the market, and
the failure of an unimportant firm, helped the
early dip, and New York sent some bulIsh
news, but they did nothing there to stop the
decline Toward noon cables came a little more
bullish. and renewed wet weather was reported
in France, where wheat is already very back
ward. A few boat loads were taken for export
at New York, and wet weather reports came
from the wheat belt in this state, and also west
of the Mississippi. These influences helped
prices up nearly 1c from the very bottom. Then
there was another decline simply from lack of
support, and also another rally before the close
on the belief that most of the long wheat had
come out. The range of prices was as follows:
August 1880 to 7915c down to 1880, up to
191ec, down to 791Sc, and then no to 1886, where
it started, and September sold at 7S1Ac and
1850, acting closely with August. The market
active and unsettled ruling firm early and
weaker later in the session. The opening sales
were about the same as the closing prices OF
yesterday, was firm and advanced H48sc,
ruled steady for a time, then became weak,
selling off 5sG&c, changed some, and closed Il
M14c lower than yesterday There was fair
demand early from local shorts and other
sources. but after they had been filed, offerings
became heavy on local account and in the alb
sence of any outside support the market ruled
weak. In oats the frs, introduction of the
new crop was the only feature of note. The
speculative trade was of rather small volume
favorable weather and an easy feeling in the
leading markets checking the demand. Changes
in value were slight. July delivery ranged Ac
lower and closed 16c easier. There was no ma
terial change for October delivery, but Septem-
Der ranged Ac higher and closed at &c i'm
provement A comparatively light trade was
in the day the feeling was easier, with fair
prices were accepted. Later the market eX-
hibited little more strength and prices rallied
again. closing at about medium figures. Trading
