Chicago, July 6.-The wheat market was
firm today but not active and the actuai
gain in prce at the close was only L cent
per busheL The only states which could
have materially brought up the average
are complaining of damage of their own
California, Washington. oregon, the Da-
kotas and Minnesota all sending COM
plants today. Corn yielded 10 the in
fuence of the next crop prospects ana
declined Is cent per bushel and OTIS 3
cent. Provisions show very little change
The change in the value OF wheat over
night was not very material al the start
but such as 1t was, it indicated more cor
hdence in present prices. For the nrst
time this season, the weather in the north
west could be called distinctly unfavor-
able for the spring wheat, leaving out the
slight touch OF frost experienced ABOUT
three weeks ago. II rained over con-
siderable area of the spring wheat region
and where il did not rain a high temporal
ture prevailed; The Liverpool market
was quoted I'd lower. on account OF the
Improvement of French wheat prospects,
1t was said, but more likely due TO yes
terday's weakness here Business IN the
wheat nit was OF the same local ana
light character that has prevailed all
week, the slight improvement which
marked the opening transactions was
opened at from 7oS.c to 707sc. advanced
gradually to 12sQ11sc, and closed at lllsc,
as compared with 7ossc at he end of the
previous days session. Rain in the south
west was also an item of the days news.
which was unfavorable in that II would
at leas delay the movement of winter
wheat vn if il did not permanently IN
jure the quality of such of II as was in
Shock. The receipts are small at St.

! red and the remainder rejected Brad
streets gave the weeks shipments OF
100000 bushels. against $4,000 bushels
on the previous week. Argentine was re-
ported TO have shipped $4,000 bushels
since a week ago. The Atlantic port
shipments for twenty-four hours were
equal to 10000 bushels, including flour.
Corn did not break badly with such ex-
cellent growing weather, principally on
account of the fact that there is a very
good demand for the cash article and con-
siderable short interest for September de-
livery. Captain Phillips and John Cudahy
were crdited with bling the principals be,
hind great deal of selling which followed
the execution of the first batch of buying
orders. Later still the market picked it
self up TO within Il cent per bushel OF
the price il closed at yesterday. but when
the end was reached a s. cent decline had
been established for the day. The ship
ments from Argentine for the week were
G96.Oo0 bushels. About 5000 bushels OF
Il cent per bushel over the September
price Todays receipts were 2d car
loads and for Monday the estimate is 13o
cars.
The market for oats was only fairly
active. The early market displayed
firmer tone in consequence OF fairly good
buying. SchwartZ-Dupee and Norton
Worthington participating in the same
to some extent. Later decline followed,
influenced by a similar action In wheat
and corn, and at the close prices were a
small fraction lower September ranged
from 24Ac to 2332.c and closed at 23fsm24c.
The provision market was dull but In the
main firm. The hog receipts were only
9.0go and for next week 10000 are estsrnat-
ed, against 5000 received altogether this
week Packing 10 date is 1.719,0o0. against
ISIS 600 for the corresponding period the
year before. An advance of 10 cents took
place in pork at the opening but IL was
again down to yesterdays closing price
in half an hour thereafter. and at the end
was cents lower for the day. Lard and
ribs were also firm at the opening and
closed with the early ADVANCE of the day
all lost The demand for cash meats IS
reported TO he very light for both the con-
sumption and export at New York.
