Chicago, July 19-Wheat dropped and
was dun ali through the session to-day,
but just before the close revived under
a fair demand from the shorts, who had
sold early in the day. There was really
nothing new in the situation, and the
weakness that prevailed to-day might be
classed as a reaction from the strength
which developed on the curb yesterday
at the close, and which was due to SEN
sational reports OF an advance at Ber-
lin. The rumor mentioned gave 1t that
war was imminent in Bulgaria. The
alarmists could not qualify the report
and, as usual, the war rumor proved to
be a most effective selling argument.
September wheat opened from 661sc to
66Ac sold between 66lzc and 651zc, clos
ing at 66i4 466M c-lsc higher than yester-
day. Cash wheat was easier and A41zc
lower.
Corn was lower, and It differed from
wheat in that there was no recuperatiVe
power to IT, w mist obtaining SOME OF
its declining tendency from It's neighbor
il was evident that there was something
else in the situation to hold prices down
Probably last nights rain and the oth-
erwise favorable growing conditions acted
a. reminder that there would be plenty
of corn to 20 round and to spare. Sep
TENDER corn opened at 437sc, sold between
44c and 43$s0431zc, closing at 437sc-1zc
lower than yesterday. Cash corn was h0
nc lower than yesterday.
Oats were steady as a rule. What few
changes took place did not signify any
thing, and they were due to and in ac-
cord with the fluctuations of the lead
ing grains. Selling orders seemed TO pre-
proportion of each giving no advantage to
either strength or weakness. At the
close oats were unchanged from yester-
day. Cash oats were weak and Ac lower
early, but the later trading was at firmer
figures
Provisions-Pork was active and irreg-
ular to-day Lard and ribs held their
own with remarkable steadfastness. It
was the intent of a leading professional
to break pork, and through 1t, lard and
ribs were expected to suffer declines, but
the results expected were not achieved.
September pork, after opening firm on
the party mentioned, but rallied on buy
ing by scalpers. The support was not
strong however. and the gain made was
afterward lost. the close showing but lit
tie alteration from yesterday in anything.
September pork lost 2ikc for the day
whilst September lard and September
ribs each gained 2lac.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest.C Closing.
