closing figures of yesterday; July opened 17Q9sc
lower, sold off zc more advanced &c and then
declined 1Lse, advanced sc and closed Hclower
than yesterday The weakness and decline re-
suited from a renewed desire to sell, influenced
by the favorable showing made by the Govern
ment crop report, cloudy weather and rains In
some sections
The rain, it appears, according to the weather
map, was scattering, pretty general faH Oh
rain in Southern Dakota, but little in Mime
sofa and scattering over the Southwest The
surface speculative trading on behalf OF local
operators developed rather heavy selling,
especially by some two or three floor traders,
| with good buying by others. The course of the
market would indicate that selling predom-
| mated.
| corn fluctuations being confined within narrow
limits, and trading chiefly of local character.
The feeling was comparatively steady, though
| at times an easier tone was apparent, Dut
| values did not vary materially from the prices
established late in yesterdays session.
The feature of the trading in oats was the in
| creased business, and the declines OF &c on
June and &c on July. due to free general SELL
ing and a lack of demand from local or OUTSIDE
resources. At the decline sellers tried to buy
back part of their early sales. and In SO dong
caused reaction of 1s@1zc. The weakness IN
the more deferred futures had its effect on the
| May delivery. which, late in the DAY, receded
| &c from outside figures.
| Opening sales were made at 10@l215c decline,
and further reduction of l0c was quickly sub
mitted to. Later the demand improved n 9lOc,
| but settled back again 279@5c, and the market
closed steady. Lard was easier huctuating
within a narrow range, and closing at medium
| figures. Short ribs were fairly active, and
closed at medium prices, with small huctua-
| tiops.
