MARKETS. BY WIRE.
A Quier Day In Wheat, With n Slight Break
In Prices-Corn Doomed by the
Weafher-Lard Makes

business was transacted in wheat but during
the most of the time interest was lacking. and
| an unusually quiet day was passed. A promi-
nent local trader was ostensibly buying, at the
| same time there was good selling by prominent
commission houses. July opened 1910 higher,
but the advance was not sustained Rather
free selling caused gradual easing up of prices,
and decline of nc was established.
The early frmness was due to the strong
| tenor of cable advices, and the improved
| weather In the Southwest had a tendency to
| create weakness and the subsequent decline.
| Fluctuations were slight, and operators mani
| Tested but little interest in the market The
| volume of speculation was quite liberal during
| the first two hours, but toward the latter part
| of the session trading decreased perceptibly
| and dullness prevailed.
The weather, although clearer throughout
the corn belt, was regarded as too coof to cause
the crop to grow rapidly, and, as cables were
| frmer and shipping demand good, a firmer feel
ing prevailed, but prices only fiuctuated Nc The
| opening was frmer and 1910 better for July
and steady on the longer futures. There was
fair selling on the appreciation. and, as buyers
| did not take hold with vim, slight recessions
| were recorded, but closing sales showed frac.
tional gam over Yesterdays last transactions:
| Oats were quiet and steady and without in
i teresting features.
| In mess pork trading was only fairly active
and prices ruled irregular within small range.
| Early sales were made at 215Q5c advance, but
| the market soon weakened and prices receded
| 10@12c. Toward the close more steadiness pre-
vailed and prices rallied again and closed
| Steady.
| A decidedly stronger feeling prevailed In
| lard. While the advance in prices was small
| there was less pressure to sell and the demand
was fairy active. Prices were advanced 21a@
| sc and the market closed steady.
A moderate trade was reported in short-rib
sides. Prices ruled rather firm at the adyace
| gained yesterday.
