QUITE AT SEA.

Heavy Loads Thrown On The
of Prices,.

CHICAGO July 13-The bears recov-
cred from their crop damage scare to-
day and pounded 1Ac off the value OF
the September option. Corn closed sc
higher for September. September oats
closing unchanged, and provisions I'm
ished at declines. The fact of gold
shipments having commenced was
taken advantage of to knock the price
of wheat down on the curb before the
opening, and in the regular session
the market was again knocked OF its
bull stills by the cold smuggling of two
of the operators on the bear side. The
crop reports were very conflicting,
ranging from stories of sensational
damage to promises of unusually big
Yields. Such were the reports from
which the trade here had to make their
minds up, and while they hesitated,
Cudahy and Linn appeared to be CIV
ing carte blanche to their brokers to
sell September wheat. Foreign mar
kets were firm. A private cablegram
said great heat was prevailing in Rus
STA, and wet weather in France was
injuring the crop of the latter country.
Receipts were "a cars; Minneapolis and
Duluth got 81 cars, against 149 cars
year ago. Argentine shipments for the
week were 100000 bu. Export clear
ances for twenty-four hours were
equal to $4,000 blu, including flour. The
opening price of September wheat was
from 675sc to 67%c, and in about five
minutes it had appreciated to 6S1sc.
From that time the price tended down
ward, and in the end the depression
produced by the persistent and heavy
selling, on account of the speculate tors
already named, became aggravated,
and the lowest prices of the day were
current about the close. September
declined to 6614Q663sc and closed at
6612c.
The corn market was strong for Sep
TENDER and firm for May. The firm
ness of May was due to the nervous
ness impaired to it from sympathy
with the advance in September. The
latter was governed altogether by the
efforts of the shorts to get out of an
awkward predicament. Inspired by the
fine prospects for growing corn there
has been created a great shortage in
September, that month being the only
active future for which there We're any
active buyers. Now the sellers are
wishing they had sold further ahead.
September opened at 45kQ45Ac, rose
irregularly to 47Ac, and closed at 1850,
an advance of &c for the day. There
are some bad reports coming in from
the West regarding the effect of the
heat, and a message from Plainfield,
ILL.,, said the thermometer stood 80 in
the shade and corn was suffering.
1.-THE market for oats was steady,
with little stuff to be had and hardly
enough orders in to take up the few
scattered lots. September started at
23Ssc, sold up to 295s@2SAc, down to
234c and closed at SA@233sc.
A strong opening in provisions was
followed by a drive at the market by
the interest which is selling short
wheat, corn, oats, pork, lard and ribs.
Prices compared with the close of the
day before show declines as follows:
In pork, 10c; lard, 21ac; and ribs, &C.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat, 80; corn, 100; oats, 200; hogs,
10000.
The leading futures ranged as Ioi.
