tion-Hot and Forcing Weather In the
west-Coru and Oats Lower


Pork Neglected.
cHIchGO-wheat-On light trading to-
day and the market ruled quiet most Oh the
session, though occasionally there were Tempo
rary spurts. The opening was shade easier
than yesterdays closing, due. probably. 70 tne
bearish talk of prominent trader and clearer
weather, Prices declined A@ssc but at the
decline there was good buying, and with some
bullish news from the Northwest. prices were
advanced about llzc. then held steady, and the
closing was about 5AQ5lc higher than yester-
DAY.
Corn-There was a good general trade wit
messed in this market with q range of ssG13c-
The feeling early was quite heavy and opera
tions were at lower prices, but later rallied
some, but closed lower. The weaker tone was
due mainly to the weather advices throughout
the West reporting hot and forcing, weather
exceptionally fine for corn.
Oats were active but weaker and lower, put
inside figures were not maintained, closing
sales being about the same as yesterdays e1'
cept for August. which was &c lower. The de,
preston of ss9Ac in values was due 10 NOT
forcing weather, unloading by longs, the weak
ness in corn and absence of good buying ORDERS

tablish market. Prices were without material
change and for the most part nominal

acted. The feeling was easy and prices receded
59715c and closed rather weak at the reduction,
