CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. July l3.--The prime influences
in wheat trading to-day were the visible
supply report the falling off in stocks at
New York, and the weather report from
the Northwest. which indicated dry and
hot temperature In the spring-wheat belt.
on the opening prices firmed, but later
sagged. September wheat opened at
5GLau5G5sc.. sold between 5s7s and 55ssc..
and closed az 554oH5o%sc- ii41sc. lower
than Saturday.
Corn.-The early advance in wheat had
its effect I'm the corn pit. but the trading
was comparatively light. The strength
was mainly due to the fact that an ex-
pected reduction In rates to the East
would greatly increase the movement OF
that cereal. and the consequent consump-
tion. September corn opened at 21ssa2Iasc..
sold between % and 2siSN2SA. and closed
at 274c.-Saturday's price.
Oats.-The market was duh but steady
in its early stage. but later on an attempt
to cover tho outsiders found a weakened
market and the price broke sc. Septem-
Der oats closed at Saturdays prices. Cash
oats were about steady.
Provisions We're dull and spirItess. and
showed small sympathy with the advance
in wheat. There was little or no business
transacted, Notwithstanding IL was hoped
that a post convention squirt would assert
tsklf September pork closed lOMl5c.
lower than Saturday, as did lard. Sep
tember lard was 5N7i2c. lower.
