There was a PROMISE Of higher prices I'm all
classes of property traded In on the Board
at the opening this morning, but the promise
was broken before the session closed, and prices
broke with IL, everything closing at about the
bottom figures OF the day. Wheat showed
steadiness and a little strength at the opening.
July started at $3.50, sold up 70 9o2ac., and
held between that figure and 9o1sc. for
n considerable time. Later, however, un-
der pressure OF foreign adyices and favora-
bic crop news, July sold OF 20 03lSc and closed
easy at that fignre. Corn made strong start
and sold higher for time. The sentiment OF the
crowd seemed decidedly bulllsh, good many
buying orders were ON the market, and local
shorts covered a good deal July started at
| 57l6a5734c. and sold TO 571sc. For time the
market held around 5734c., then broke to !14c.,
improved come, but on heavy estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow began 20 slump. Long corn
came out freely, short selling was active, and
the bullish sentiment all disappeared. July
broke to 5619c., reacted Tlne, ana tne9
TO have pretty well covered, and With
urgent offerings and few buyers
there was a steady drop TO 55ssc, which was the
closing price. Oats followed the course OF the
corn market very closely. The opening sales for
July we're at 3S1 la341ac., the market then became
slurnpy and sold OF 70 30S4c, rallied some, broke
10 363(c. and closed at that price. Provisions
were fairly strong at the opening, influenced by
the strength in corn and some advance In live
hogs at the yards. Later there was break, due
10 The weakness in other pits, and especially IN
corn. September pork sold from slO.75aslO.o
held for time around 5000, then broke 70
s1O az. steadled and broke 20 and closed at
SIO.55, a loss compared With yesterday Of l21sc.
