Chicago, July 20-On the Cincinnati
Price Currents summary of crop condi-
lions for the past week. which was UNI
questionably bullish, wheat opened at a
gain over yesterday closing this morning.
That was the extent of the strength In to-
days market, for within five minutes,
the OfteringS became profuse and the
direction of prices Immediately turned
down. The Indiana state report came out
toward the end of session. and it's esti-
mate of a yield OF 24,0O0O00 bushels for
that state, influenced the crowd to sell
even more freely than they had previous
ly. September wheat opened from $3.50
to 59lsc. declined to 5S05SIsc. closing at
0S4sH5S52c-Ssc under yesterday. Cash
wheat was weak and half cent per BUSH
el lower.
Corn opened barely steady and readily
Joined in the declining course, marked
out by wheat. The cutting Of rates by
western roads, has resulted In "a move
ment in corn. which grows daily. and Il
is confidently predicted by receivers that
next month will witness some
thing almost unprec edented in
the receipts Taken in con-
nection with the brilliant prospects for
the new crop, this has the effect of caus-
ing decided depression in this market.
September corn opened at A5sc, declined
TO 24lac, closing at 24S02fl4c-3sc under
yesterday. Cash corn was weak and half
cent per bushel lower.
Oats-Whilst declining slightly In re-
Spouse to the weakness of the other mar
kets. oats WERE nevertheless governed
to a considerable extent by the independ-
ent undertone of firmness which has eX-
listed for some time past. September oats
closed hdhc lower. Cash oats were firm.
Offerings were light, and in some instan-
ces, a shade advance in price was Sc
cured.
PrOvisions-The provisions market pre-
sented about the same appearance as In
the recent past. Business was OF an or
binary sort, with few transactions OF
sufficient magnitude to excite attention
or comment. The tone of the market was
with reference to the hog market, which
was a little fmer. Stocks of provisions
on August 1, as estimated by George w.
Phillips, Jr., will be: Pork 13S,O0O bar
res old and new; lard, 100000 tierces; ribs,
$1,000 900 pounds. September pork closed
TIC lower; September lard a shade lower.
and September ribs a shade higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest. Closing.
