CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 26.-The wheat market
began the session to-day at a decided d sadvan-
tAge, first prices being from IA to 80 under last
night 1t was probably the want of courage and
confidence more than any distinctly bearsh news
that rendered the tone so weak. However, if there
was nothing materially disappointing in the news
there at the same time no argument for i'm
provement. The trade reseln bled that of recent
days, the outside and general public being without
interest and local scapers furnishing the moderate
business
Liverpool cables quoted 1Sd decline. Receipts
in the Northwest were free at 416 cars, against
5l5 on last Friday and 159 year ago Chicago re-
ceived 3 cars, and inspected out 1900 bushels.

weather fine and harvesting said 10 be
progressing WELL all of which tended to disconcert
holders Closing Continental cables were irregular

between 563zc and 5614@563sc, closing at the in
SIDE 3sIG12c under yesterday. Estimated receipts
for tomorrow, II cars.
CORN-Fluctuations practically represe nted the
variations in the tone of wheat Nothing that was
heard afforded ground tor hope Of better prices
the buying being principally by shorts and the
firmness, which at times came from the demand,
of unsatisfactory sort. Receipts were fair at
3S1 cars although siXty-nine less than expected.

496 bushels. Liverpool cables quoted 12d decline.
Export clearances amounted TO 10000 bushels.

yesterday. Estimated receipts for tomorrow 80

OATS-Presented reason for satisfaction to
holders buyers, but the contrary were de-
cidedly disappointing Even the most sang guine

grain which to found an improvement In value.
