CCHIcAGo, H., June 27.-Sensationalists
found little to feed on this morning. the
wheat market opened firm at an advance
here, and in st. Louis and New York on
rains throughout the southern and south
western sections. There was a continuance
of the nervousness on account of the scarcity
of July wheat and the price ran up to S07sc,
with August dragging back at SIC discount.
Gradually the whole market eased off, and
July and August came together at 90A@
S0ssc, where the price held for time, with
only moderate business passing. Elevator
concerns do not concur in their wish to have
the meager stocks remain in their bins, but
the elevator people snort dsgustedly when
accused Of running deal or keeping the
property off the market Corn was steady at
slight improvement in value, July ranging
at 49Q49ssc early, and August at 50@50Ac.
Receipts were 194 cars. July oats
ranged at 31$S@31s4c the first hour
and the feeling was one of firmness.
Provisions were steady at S13.6712@13.7O
for July pork, S7.52l2@7.55 for July ribs
and 1925 for July lard. There was clear
ing of the atmosphere around about the corn
pit to-day. Cudahy was a free seller in the
peculative market and the last of the No. IS
corn held for country account was picked up
ny sulppCIo Ut 1S4Sl isSC NJ :. 1HSTe
is about l, 100000 bushels of No. corn
in stock here, and the fear that it
might be dumped at any moment
has been one of the recent weaknesses
in speculation values. Charters reported to-
day were heavy, and corn is being shipped
out at the rate of 500, 00o to 100000 blu
day, or about three times faster than it is
coming in. This ENSURES a rapid reduction
in visible stocks. The market closes about
where it did yesterday, after having broken
lie. Provisions turned weak as the day adj
vanced and prices worked slightly lower
The freight engagements reported by lake
shippers were limited 10 l75, 900 blu of corn
and 10000 bu of oats. Though it was
rumored that charters (partly to arrive)
were made for between $4,000 and 400
600 pu of corn alone.
