Chicago, July 1.-THE wheat market to-
day was between two fires, the demOrali-
cation in stocks at New York and the bull
ish news from the northwest. Mr.. Van
derbilts sudden illness was the given
cause of the depression at the east, and
in sympathy with the panicky feeling, the
market opened at a decline from yester-
days close. But the fact that the market
IS about on an export basis was given
the reason for its steadiness and in addi-
ton to the bullish Northwestern news
helped to maintain values relatively.
Wheat was sold freely by local interests.

ports of the working of 2Ol.O00 bushels.

on favorable crop bulletins, but again sag
ged. September corn opened at 2Sd27a4c,
sold between 2S1s and 2712c, and closed at
21s4c-9sc lower than yesterday. Cash corn
