MARKETS BY WIRE.
The Chicago Trade Quiet, With n Weaker
Feeling and Lower Prices On Wheat
Very Light Business In

very quiet to-day and the feeling developed
was weaker and prices averaged lower There
is no doubt that the widely advertised labor
demonstrations having some effect upon trade,
operators evidently feel indispOsed to wait until
the affair is settled. There was a lack of out
side news and that which did come to hand
generally favorable to the interest of holders,
but the influences did not have the usual effect

market, prices generally eased off, The open
ing was about &c higher for July than yester-
days closing but eased of &c and closed about
&c lower than yesterday. May declined 15kc
below the opening and closed i1zc lower than
yesterday. Gable advices were generally quite
favorable to holders and crop news of a bullish
character. Crop news from the winter wheat
districts continue rather unfavorable and do
not show any particular improvement. Indiana
and Missouri sent in gloomy reports to-day and
the Illinois crop reports indicate much smaller
crop than last year.
Corn was fairly active, good general specu.
