CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, July 2O.-The stereo-
typed reason for the prevailing weakness
In wheat IL the moving new crop No
fresh excuse was gwen for another de-
cline to-day. 1t would appear. however.
that absence OF nerve among the bulls
and the fact that the demand for export
or home consumption shows no great i'm
provement are responsible for the inability
or prices TO recover from the present low
status. The business was almost entirely
local September wheat opened at 55Sc.
closed at 55lsao5,<c "a net loss OF ssGs.c
for the day. Cash wheat was in more
demand, with prices steady.
corn-At the start IL looked az though
the corn market had received permanent
setback by the rains OF last night, but
not great while elapsed before the
shorts were made aware Of the fact that
they were not to have things their own
way. Offerings at the low point were un-
accountably scarce, and bids were raised
to obtain the stuff. Prices ruled rirm I'M
til the close which was unchanged from
Yesterday. September corn opened at
4l7s to 4lssc.. sold between AN and Ns,c.,
and closed AT the outside. without change
from yesterday. Cash corn was firm.
Oats-Two or three comm srcial- houses
had orders to buy some July oats to cover
short sales to-day. but found that IT
was necessary 10 pay quite premium
over yesterday to get them. The price
was bid from 3l7 TO 36c. before the orders
could be filled. Holders of the extreme
light contract stocks were not disposed
to part with them unless they received
some extra inducement 10 do 40. Other
deliveries were not much affected by
July. but rather sympathized with wheat
and corn.
Proyisions-At II :25 \. NJ the first trans
action in pork took place, and total OF
three trades comprised the business I'm
that product for the day. Lard and ribs
showed little Improvement on pork as
far as activity was concerned, but prices
all round were weak and lower. The
large run OF hogs and a decline in their
price. and the speculative weakness In
grain. particularly wheat, exercised
depressing influence. The cables were
steady, and outside domestic markets
were lower. September pork closed lOc.
under yesterday. September lard 2ikc.
lower and September ribs &c. lower.
There was fair cash demand for pro-
duct.
