Chicago, June 19.-The wheat trade was
of regulation sort to-day, and scarcely
Louis yesterday was heard. The routine
statistical news rather tended to produce
an easy feeling and prices declined imme-
diately after the opening. crop DANA &c
stories We're numerous, however, and al
though at first little heed was paid to
them, still they eventually encouraged
short covering with a rally which carried
prices above the final quotations of yester-
day. September wheat opened at 0S12 to
5Sssc, sold between 57l2Q5l9sc and 59Bc,
closing at 5SIc-1ac higher than yesterday.
Cash wheat was irregular, closing nomi-
nally firm and 15c higher.
Corn-No noticeable Improvement in
business in the corn market was percept-
ibie. The trade was entirely of local and
scalping character, to which no real i'm
pOrtance was attached. Operations were
passed on the action of wheat and the
buying and selling were to a great extent
against privileges. 1t was evident, how
ever, that the sentiment was bearish, not
withstanding the fact that the market re-
pOnded to the strength of wheat. Septem-
Der corn opened al 29d29isc, sold between
20 and 1880, closing at 29AQ292sc-1sq14c
higher than yesterday. Cash corn -7as
steady.
oats early were easy and lower, both on
their own position as respecting the crop
prospects and account of the weakness
was communicated by wheat and corn
further along in the session to enable
prices to recover their previous loss.
Provisions-The product market was in
equally as discOuraging a state as was any
of the grain markets 1t was believed the
results of the convention would contri-
butte to a revival of business, and strength,
but hopes in this direction were not as
yet, realized. The run of hogs at the yards
was heavy this morning, which fact tend
ed to discomfort holders and buyers of
product. September pork closed Toe under
yesterday September lard 212Q5c lower,
and September ribs, sc lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
