GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Chicago. July 21.-A better financial
out look was the principal cause for re-
covery of LIE in the price of wheat today.
Corn closed practically unchanged and
oats 1-Sc higher. Provisions were again
very much depressed. lard and ribs max
ing new low records.
Wheat-Trading was rather narrow
most of the day. but on display of strength
which the market made there was some
pretty active covering by local shorts and
Il fair amount of buying for the long ac-
count The opening was firmer at slight
ly advanced prices. The steadier feeling
the banks in strengthening the gold re-
serve had an important influence, and was
perhaps the main feature of strength all
through the session. The weakness of
provisions and active short selling caused
temporary decline. But prices soon re-
covered. strong late cables and liberal
seaboard clearances amounting to 4OO,-
600 bushels imparting fresh strength.
The market held very strong during the
last hour on covering by shorts the strong
outside markets and the substantial de-
crease in the worlds visible supply The
strength in wheat held corn prices steady
in spite of the large receipts and prospects
of another big crop. Considerable short
covering was INDUCED in.
Oats. though quiet, ruled firm and a
shade higher. influenced by more reports
of bad yields and strength in wheat and
corn.
Provisions continued their recent down.
ward course. Heavy Humiliation was in,
dulged in by the holders. although there
was some reaction later in the session.
closing prices being materially lower.
Lard and ribs also made low records, and
pork was within SC of that mark for July.
