CHICAGO, June 3O.-Very little attention
was given to the speculative markets on
change today, due to the fact that today is
delivery day. The tendency of prices was
downward the following being the declines
for the day at the close: July. &c; Septem-
Der. ssd2c; corn and oats lost Ac each, and
provisions 1O9l2l2c.
In wheat the early cablegrams quoted lower
prices at Liverpool and Paris, Ad TO begin
with at the former, followed by another "A
to I'D drop a little later and 20 centimes at
the latter place. The weather was generally
favorable for the home crops and new wheat
on the move to market. Baltimore reported
that % 600 bu new wheat had been received
there and il was of fine quality, but de-
mand for it poor. With such news to begin
with, the Chicago market started shade
easier, but without much activity. Sep
TENDER. in which month most of the small
business was transacted, opened shade be-
low yesterdays closing price at 65@@65Ac,
held for some time around 65c then gradually
sank TO 64i@c. July wheat was for sale In
moderate quantities all forenoon, and there
was no great demand for it, except at con-
cessons in its price. 1t the general i'm
preston that sales of that delivery made
yesterday, and again today, were for ac-
count of Armour & Co.. and that the con-
gestion previously existing in July had been
reduced so much TO preclude any further
idea of a squeeze. July opened at $3.50, or
&c lower than it closed the day before. At
ter temporarily recovering the 14c loss it had
started with its course up TO the middle of
the day steadily downward, getting to
69c by u O'Clock. The closing cablegram
quoted the net decline for the day at Liver
pool I'D, at Paris % centimes. The foreigners
were said to have sold some wheat for De-

Atlantic port clearances of wheat and -four
together were equal to 295, 600 blu. The re-
cepts here were II cars, and IL, 600 blu were
withdrawn from store. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts Of 211 cars, against 40
the corresponding day Of last year. State
ment of last weeks shipments of wheat and
-four from all exporting countries to Eu-
rope made the total 4,516,000 bu, compared
with 7,S450 600 bu for the similar week of the
year before. The business in the pit be-
came quite stagnant in the last hour of the
session. The closing price for July was 69Ac
and for September 65laG655sc.
Corn was affected at the opening by the
favorable weather, and this and the good
crop reports were about the only factors du-
ring the session. Business very quiet
consisting principally of changing July con-
tracts into September. Local receipts
amounted to 80 cars. september opened un-
changed at 26c. 1t declined to 2534c and
closed at 25%G257sc asked. In oats the weak
ness of the cash article was the feature,
samples being 19G5sc lower. Offerings were
large and poor support was given, the mar
Ret ruling weak from the start. Local re-
eeipts We're 2s5 cars. September opened un-
changed at 17Ac declined to 1712c, and
closed at l132Q17&sc. In provisions large
hog receipts and lower yard prices started
prices downward, and though there were
plenty of buying orders. offerings were free
enough to prevent the recovery of more
tnan traction OF the decline which took
place in the first hour Business was quite
brisk during that time but was quiet for the
remainder Of the session. At the close Sep
TEMPER pork was 1212c lower at $7.6712; Sep
TENDER lard Ice lower at S4l5. and Sentem-
Der ribs about 10c lower at $452I2@455. Es-
