Chicago July 27.--After a session Of con-
siderable irregularfty, in which there was
some strength and much weakness, wheat
closed to-day with a slight percentage Of
loss from Saturday. The opening was
quite buoyant with prices about nc high
er than the final prices of last week, In
connection with which the wet weather
and predictions Of further showers for
winter wheat sections were quoted. Sep
TENDER wheat opened from 60c to 59%c,
declined to 5Sslc, closing at 59AG599s6-a
shade under Saturday. Cash wheat was
irregular but in the main steady
Corn began the day fairly well. under
the guidance Of the early improvement
in wheat, but it was soon evident that
the tone lacked stability. Good crop re-
ports, heavy receipts and lower Liverpool
cables, combined TO discourage buying.
Prices Succumbed to the selling, which
took place and after the expiration of the
first half hour the tone was uniformly
weak. September corn opened at 257sc,
sold between 26c and 25$sm2513c, closing
at 251ac-3sd1ac under Saturday Cash
corn was weak and AQ1sc per bushel
lower.
Oats were. in tone, quite the reverse of
wheat and corn. The sentiment was firm
and smaller receipts than looked for help
ed the feeling. September oats closed a
shade higher than yesterday. Cash oats
were firm. Prices were unchanged to Ac
per bushel higher.
Provisions-Though opening steady. the
market was poss of no qualifications
of strength. A few moments after the
opening every commodity traded in under
the head of product lost something in
value, and from then until the close. re-
manned easy The hog situation and the
poor consumptive demand exercised an
adverse influence on the product market.
September pork closed 1Oc lower Septem-
Der lard and ribs each 71kGI10c lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
