Chicago, ILL.,, June 27.-To-day closed
with no improvement in business; one of
the dullest weeks on the board of trade
in many months. This fact is noteworthy
in view of the reported improvement in
business circles which was claimed by a

portant, with nothing by local interest
displayed. September corn opened at
