about Ac higher than Monday. July. which
closed Monday at 1850 below May sold to-day
within A@lc of May, closing strong ard fully
&c higher than Monday. The frmness of July,
and also June, was due to some extent to the
Illinois crop report, published day Or TWO ago
which was considered unfavorable. prom

bought July and sold May; in fact. there was
considerable selling of long wheat at the open

which resulted in an advance. The eariy decline
was attributed to the easier tone OF foreign adj
vices and increase ON the ocean passage Corn
was quite active and firmer. very good de
maud existed from shorts and other sources
and as offerings were quite meager, the market
ruled strong. The market opaned active and
