CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, July 19.-Wheat drop
ped and was dun all through the session
to-daf, but Just before the close revived
on a moderate demand from shorts,
who bad sold early In the day. There was
really nothing new in the situation. and
the weakness that prevailed might be
classed as a reaction from the strength
which developed on the curb yesterday at
the close. which was due TO sensational
reports OF rise at Berlin. The rumOr
IN a
ria. The alarmlsts could not qualify the
report and as usual the war rumor
proved 20 be a good selling argument.
There was no trade OF consequence all
day--a scalp OF half mill per bnshel by
a professional operator being the only
transaction that attracted the least atten-
ton.
September wheat opened at from 66 Is
10 65 l-4c. and sold between 90 IL ana
So l-2c.. closing at 65 l-4Io6 3-sc.--l-Sc high
er than yesterday. Cash wheat was easy
and 1-+dl-2c. lower.
Corn was lower, and differed from wheat
In that there was no recuperative power
in II. Whilst obtaining some OF its declin-
ing tendency from its neighbor IL was
evident there was something else In the
situation TO hold prices down. Probably
last nights rain and the otherwise favor-
able growing conditions acted as re-
minder that there would be plenty Of
corn to go round and TO spare.
September corn opened at i3 I-Sc. and
sold between tini3 3-Slii3 l-2c., closing at
43 7-Sc.-l-2c. lower than yesterday. Cash
corn was l-+al-2c. lower than yesterday.
Oats were steady as a rule. But few
changes took place. and they were due 20
and in accord with the fluctuations of the
leading grains. Selling orders seemed 10
predominant early. and buying later had
very little effect At the close September
oats were unchanged from yesterday.
Cash oats were weak and lac. lower
early, but the later trading was at a
frmer figure.
Provisions-Pork was active and irregu-
lar to-day. Lard and ribs held their own
with remarkable steadfastness. 1t was
the intent OF leading professional 10
break pork, and through this lard and
ribs were expected to suffer declines. but
the results expected were not achieved
September pork. after op ming firm on
higher hogs declined on the offerings OF
the party mentioned, but rallied on buy
ing by scslpers The support was not
strong however and the gain made was
afterwards lost. the close showing but lit
tie alteration from yesterday In anything
September pork lost . lie for the day
! whilst September lard and ribs each gain.
