CHICAGO July 5.-There was less business
In wheat to-day than for many days. There
was little or no outside news OF character
to influence prices. and the trade acted lndlt-
ferent, except when some one wanted July
and when there was furry, and some sharp
changing of prices. The support OF the
market early was the improved 1eellng
abroad which caused bullish cables. Liver
pool quoted spot wheat firm and tending up
ward, with futures tending up, especially
for American wheat First prices mere
were about 12c lower all around. July started
6sc under at slice, but went to SIC very
quickly Other futures sympathiZed. August
going from 7734c to 7S1sc, September from
wise to TS4c, December from 1880 10
7934c. July yielded TO 92l2c and bounced
to 93lac, and at noon was off TO S2Ac again
August fell back to 7775c, September 10
777sc and December to 79A079ssc selling
before l o'clock at 7912c again. Inc

tinue TO come TO bull houses from the North
west. At New York shorts sold some, but
longs hold their wheat, and July in that
market reacted from S514c to S634c at noon.

that Hungarian wheat flour was advancing
strongly and the reported damage to crops
confirmed, had little or no effect here. Prices
