Chamber OF Commerce.

Wheat was weaker and sold down nearly
&c from the closing of the regular session
yesterday by II 80 O'Clock. The amount of
long wheat unloaded in the last half of Tues
days session, and the first half of yesterday
was heavy. The break in the meantime was
some &c against a rise of 10c. If this break
does not take off more than half the previ-
Gus rise it would be called a strong market
still. The available supply was reported to
have decreased 1.625, 900 blu on both coasts
the past week, nearly half of which was in
Minnesota and Dakotas The feeling
was weak all through the session,
though there were near the close some rather
sharp reactions. A report from San Fran
cisco said that foreigners were buying there
today quite freely. There was some talk of
the lateness of the season for the crop in
North Dakota. July opened at $1.1314, sold
up to S1.1334 at $40, to Sl.12s4 at 9:55, to
Sl.13s4 at 10:15, and went steadily down to
S1.1134 at II 30 then up to S1.12l4 at 1910, TO
S1.12l2 at 30 to :12ls at l o'clock. Closing
