CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 24.-Very little OF any
thing other than scalping WAS seen in wheat trad
ing today. a widespread complaint at the lifeless
condition of business continues to be heard and
the popular theory for the inactivity is the ap-
proach of the Presidential campaign. Local opera
tors furnish much of the orders to-day and few OF
these large enough to affect prices mater-
ally. The receipt of $50 cars from the northwest
this morning against 664 last Tuesday and 1872 q
year ago tended 10 depreSs the feeling early but
