weakest spot in the list was Pleasant Valley,
which was offered down to 2HS.
While the street railways are Justly re-

Obstacles which may prevent for time the
realization of all that is expected of them.
One of these is the proposition to levy a
tax on them for the benefit of the city. The
right or wrong of this cannot be touched
upon here, but the mere suggestion of such
a thing will make investors cautious, and
The street railways are all right, but they

CORN EXPECTED TO BOOM.

Countrymen and Other Spectators Eager to
Buy, Believing an Advance Is Sure to
Come-Continued Weather Still the
Moving Factor-Wheat Dull.
CHICAGO-There was a lively corn mar
ket to contend with to-day and it demanded
| all the attention of the trade. The chief
| feature of the market was the weather.
| Hundreds of stations throughout the corn
belt reported another night of heavy rain
and no prospect of a let-up. The floor was
| pretty well sprinkled with countrymen who
are on hand to get in on the bull side of corn
| and oats in expectation of higher prices
when the damage is fully understood. The
market opened with a decided bulge Of 1c
or more. There was little reaction caused
by selling on the bulge, when second ad-
vance put prices to the high point OF the ses-
sion and about NC over the close yesterday.
On reports OF clearing weather the market
lost half its advance.
Wheat opened ss@5sc higher than yester-
days closing; advanced 1sc more; then de-
clined sc; fiuctuated some, and closed Lc
higher than last night. Trading was mainly
local and of moderate volume. Reports of
rain caused the early advance. 1t was also
claimed that wheat, if the weather turns
hot is liable to rust, and is in a critical con-
dition. There was also talk about the Gov
eminent crop report, which it was thought
wonld make bad showing. Late in the day
a rumor that the Hatch bill might be before
the House before night caused some selling.
Predictions of clearing weather also helped
to weaken the market to 42kc. the low point
of the day, but there was a rally before the
close on buying by shorts.
Oats were fairly active all day. the market
fuctuating with corn, and closing Lc better
than last night.

and prices were easily Influenced. AL
though the board showed nearly 40, 600 hogs
at the wards and prices Sc to l0c lower, there
was enough influence from the strong corn
market to start prices steady or higher Late
in the day provisions weakened with the
pared with last evening, pork and ribs show
net decline of 719c each, and lard exc.
