outside news to specially affect prices. Early
the market eased off 5sc for July, and then ad-
vanced 16c, closing about the same as Satur-
day. August closed ~ higher and December
NC higher, with July and December selling at
times close together, and the difference at the
close was only Nc. The weather was an i'm
provement over that of the past six weeks. and
was warmer and haZy.
The weather bulletin showed cloudy weather
and slight rain in the northwest and southwest
and clear in the west. Mail advices from the
northwest are not altogether favorable, and
some letters were shown to-day which Indicate
a rather poor showing in the southern portion
of Dakota and Minnesota. Liverpool advices
quoted firmer tone to the N arket and weather
fine, with Russian wheat quoted through pri-
vate sources Cd higher.
A large business was transacted In corn,
which was fairly distributed throughout the
near and distant futures. The bulk Of the
trading, however. was in covering shorts" in
July and in changing trades from July to Sep
tember the former being bought and the lat
ter sold The difference also narrowed slight
ly. being 60Ac. The fine weather, fair ar
rivals and the quietness in domestic markets
made operators rather bearish at the open, but
the decrease in the visible supply rather
changed the sentiment and as offerings were
small, a strong feeling developed, and after
decline of Hc at the opening a rally OF AQ9sc
followed. Numerous small recessions from
outside prices followed the rallies, but last
sales were at a tr1fle above Saturdays.
Oats were quiet and easier and trading was
chiefly local.
A very light business was transacted in hog
products Receipts of hogs were considerably
larger than generally anticipated, and this had
a weakening influence on the course of the
market. However, the offerings were light
and sellers slow to grant concessions, and buy
ers were backward about taking hold until
near the close Prices declined Slightly on all
