CHICAGO, July 19.-All the Specula-
tive markets were very dull today and
closed without much change from the
last regular quotations of yesterdays
session. Wheat averaged weak, al
though &c higher in the end. Corn
was unable to regain the loss it made
as soon as the market opened and is
zee lower for the day. The oats mar
ket braced up in the end and recov-
cred nc decline made earlier in the
day. Provisions are shade higher for
lard and ribs and a trifie lower for
pork. There was neither frost in the
Northwest nor war in Bulgaria, and
with those sensati onal plums left out
of the bulls cake they didn't relish it.
Where there had been a possibility of
freezing temperature in the night,
rain had fallen; and the Berlin wheat
market, which, according to an Ant
werp cablegram, was excited and
higher yesterday afternoon, was quot
ed one mark or sc per bushel lower
this morning. September wheat closed
yesterday at 66Ac sellers and was
quoted worth 66$4c on the curb after
the regular session, opened at from
661s to 66Ac today. After hanging
around those prices for about half an
hour it broke below 66c and quickly
thereafter slipped down to 651b Trade

Cudahy threw the weight of his in
fuence into the bear side of the bal
ance, and it was his selling which was
the only contributor to the decline re-
ferred to above. The figures of the
days movement at the principal mar
ketS of the country were for the bulls in
regard to the receipts at the primary
markets and against them in the mat
ter of the Atlantic seaboard clear
ances. st. Louis received 100000 bush
els, compared with $4,000 bushels on
the corresponding day of last year, and
Toledo, whose receipts are at present
being drawn chiefly from Chicago
got 10000 against $4,000 bushels a
year ago. The total quantity received
at the five largest winter wheat mar
kets in the West was 10000 bushels,
compared with 561 600 bushels a year
ago. The exports from the four prin-
clpal Atlantic seaports amounted to
only about 100000 bushels in wheat
and flour together. No new light was
thrown upon the extent of the dam
age to spring wheat in the Northwest
Inc Paris market was quoted a shade
hlgher at the close and Berlin had
recovered the early Decline There
was some business done also in cash
wheat here for shipment, the aggre-
gate OF which was $4,000 bushels. A
ffner feeling which prevailed near
the close was ascribed to the list
named influences. September rose to
6ot2c and closed at 6635c, or 1sc above
yesterdays closing price.
