Chicago Markets.

CHICAGO, June 26.-It was a dull day in all
things speculative. The small business done was
principally on local account and consisted largely
OF changes over July contracts into September
The closing moments caught wheat at its weak
est $s912c below the close the day before
Corn wound up with only Use decline.
Oats were firm and closed lc higher for June,
1zc higher for July and I4c higher for September
Provisions we're a shade lower.
Wheat was nervous and unsettled with range Of
S4c. The opening was quiet but the free selling
by prominent local operator and other profes-
sionals carried prices down. The offerings were
wen absorbed and rally followed The strong
Continental cables small European supplies bad
crop news from the Northwest, the continued heavy
rains in parts OF the winter wheat belt where
harvesting is In progress combined TO make the
situation strong. Liverpool cables were however,
lower and foreigners were credited with selling
freely at the seaboard. The elevator interests,
too were said TO be offering July quite freely.
The close was dull. even Bradstreet's statement
showing decrease of 4,5lS 600 bushels in the
worlds visible supply could not inject life into IT,
Corn opened unchanged for Septem ber and
with firm domestic markets advanced 14c, eased
of 3s on easier cables aud light exports, rallied
"a on tue decrease on ocean passage ana closed
steady
oats were firm and active in the earlier trad
ing in sympathy with corn, but later fears OF
wet harvest caused shorts to cover sending
prices up 34c, ana the close was at top figures
with gain over yesterdays last quotations OF
1st9l for the various futures.
PROVISIONS were very dull throughout The
depression in Live Hogs but little buying later
occasloned some irmnesS, and the close was at
about outside figures for the day.
