CHICAGO, June 25.-Opening prices for
cereals on change this morning were gener-
ally higher than closing prices last week
Wheat opened A@Ssc over the closing Satur-
day. The range for the session was about
evenly divided on the Saturday closing prices.
July sold to open at 79l2c, declined to 7SS4c,
returned to 79Ac. and twenty minutes be-
fore the close was steady at 79lSc, the Satur-
day figure. August opened at T9S4c, and
sold between 79l4c and soc. September
ranged at S2ls@S2Ssc. There was little
news, and considering the outside excite
ment and the convention bulletins on the
floor there was fair activity and altogether
quite a firm tone to the market. Receipts
were 10 cars, with an estimate of 46 cars for
Tuesday. The visible supply decreased 3d.
600 bu for the week. The figures had no
special effect. Closing prices for July were
T9l2c. There was no raldlng III corn
to-day. There was no weakness such as
marked the pit nearly every day last
week. There was some pretty good miscella-
neous buying and prices ruled better than the
closing prices Saturday moot of the session,
and closed at a to Ssc higher at l p. m. The
firmness was in part due to the light re-
ceipts and partly to the general belief that
the depression is over for the present, and
that a return TO 49c is probable. There was a
lack of enthusiasm in provisions. Receipts
of hogs were good, but prices were well
maintained. Trading in pork was mostly in
The way of changing contracts from near to
distant futures at 7l2@loc premium. A
steadier feeling prevailed, and closing prices
July sold at SIS. 65@13. 6S12. Shorts bought
