came weak, and a decline of &c was recorded
for July and l5xc for other deliveries, closing
&c lower for July, PC lower for August, rs
lower for September, and Hc lower for Decem
Der than closing figures of Saturday.
The early advance was attributed to the same
causes which have affected the market the
past few days, namely, wet weather In the
winter wheat districts and dry in the North
west. Storms in Ohio and Indiana were re-
ported as having done damage to wheat
Shorts covered quite freely, and the demand
was principally from this source. The ad.
vance, however, induced longs TO sell freely,
and there was quite heavy realizing. Some
large lines were closed out. This created an
easier feeling. Then advices were received re-
porting a break of l0c in cash at St. Louis.
Gables also were less favorable to holders.
The weather bulletin, too, showed light rain at
Bismarck. This assisted the tendency to lower
prices.
Corn ruled quiet and inactive the greater
part of the session. The fluctuations were
within narrow limits and trading confined al
most exclusively to room operators. The feel
ing early was comparatively firm, due largely
to the stronger tone of wheat but later ruled
easier, influenced by very fair estimates for to-
morrow.
Oats were fairly active and KG1zc higher.
The advance brought in liberal selling orders,
and a quieter and weaker feeling developed
and all the early advance was lost, the market
closing at slightly below the prices of Satur-
day.
A little more life was manifested in the mar
ket for mess pork, and the feeling was stronger.
Prices were advanced 109l214c, but settled
back again 5G71c and closed steady.
The market for lard attracted very little at
tention. Prices exhibited very little change.
Trading was only moderately active in the
market for short rib sides. The feeling was
firmer and prices favored sellers.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
