MARKETS BY WIRE.


Whenr Strengthened by Fears of an Adverse
Government Report-Corn and Oats
Quier-Hog Products Steady
and LifeIess.
CHICAGo-The wheat market to-day pre-
seRted more animation, and the feeling was
rather strong with steady appreciation in
prices most of the session. July opened 1s@
&c higher, and advanced with slight changes
l1sc more, ruled strong and closed lssc higher
than yesterday. The strength was attributed
to advices which would indicate that the next
Government report will make less favorable
showing than last month. This, together with
the rather larger export ciearances and re-
ported export buying at the seaboard to-day,
with indications that the visible supply will
show a liberal decrease again, caused prices TO
advance.
The weather bulletin showed rain in the
West and Northwest. Clear and bright
weather would be more favorable Shorts
took alarm at the action of the market and
bought quite freely, and there was also some
investment buying. Around 76c for July
local trader sold rather freely and held the
market for awhile, but the demand was active,
and all offerings being absorbed, the market
passed and held above that figure.
Corn ruled quiet and inactive with the ex-
ception of short time after the opening,
trading being limited. The market opened at
yesterdays closing prices. fuctuated WITHIN
ZG5sc, and closed &c higher than yesterday.
Oats we're quiet and shade easier, Dut later
became steady.
While there was not much life in the market
for hog products the feeling was rather firm,
and prices averaged higher for the leading
speculative articles. There was no pressure to
sell and the demand was only fair, with short
rib sides attracting most attention, and closed
steady.
The leading rurures ranged as roIlows
