CHICAGO. June 25.-The Derby para
lyzed trade on Change to-day, and the di-
rectoIs readily closed the session forty-five
minutes before the usual hour. There was
a poor excuse for q wheat market most of
the session. The principal matters TO con-
slider were the weather. the harvesting re-
ports and the probabilities of the anti
option bill. Mono of these contained any
thing to change prices much. Fluctuations
were confined to A0$c range, and the
closing was about hc lower than yester-
day. The corn market was not quite so
narrow as wheat. What action there was
occurred the first hour. The receipts. ow-
ing probably to railroad washouts, fell
considerably under the estimate, at 531 cars
for the day. The grading was not
improved, with only forty-four cars
contract corn. The trades were at
about the final figures of yesterday.

which may have ENCOURAGED the buyers for
the long account and caused some buying
