GH1CAGo-A good business was transacted
IN wheat to-day, but at a further decline IN
prices. July opened 1Sc lower and declined nc,
rallied sgc, then declined 1c, ruled steady and
closed at l1sc lower than yesterday. The ofrer'
ings were heavy, parties who had covered yes
terday putting out lines, and there was consio-
cradle long wheat closed out. The weakness
of the market influenced this action.
The principal weakening factor was the fine
growing weather and promise of bountitul
harvest. At the decline there was free buying.
There was an unusually wide variation In the
prices of No. 2 cash wheat, extending to fully
10 cents per bushel. This was caused by the
milling demand and was governed by the quail
ity of the grain.
A weaker feeling was developed in corn and
slightly lower prices were established, though
the volume of business was only moderate and
fluctuations limited to Kc range. The easier
tone was attributed mainly to the larger est1-
mated receipts for tomorrow and sympathy
with wheat and provisions. The market opened
at about yesterdays closing quotations and
gradually declined 17c, reacted 1se, ruled STEADY
and closed Ss@14c lower than yesterday.
A weaker feeling developed In oats and prices
declined 1%65Sc, and the close was quiet at
about inside figures. Trading was fair.
Quite good business was done in pork and
the feeling was unsettled Opening sales were

was submitted to. Later the feeling was
stronger and prices advanced l5Ql715c, the
market closing steady.

market closed steady at about medium figures.
A little more business was TRANSACTED IN Tlbs,

lower early, but a portion Of the reduction was
recovered later, and the market closed quiet at
medium figures.
