The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-07-24

| the course of the first forty minutes OF
the session, During the widespread In
terVals that July was heard from II was
about &c premium over September. Chi
cago receipts since Wednesday morn
ing were III cars. i07 OF them new. Last
yeac for the two corresponding days 29l
cars were received, go of which were
new wheat Minneapolis and Duluth
received since yesterday morning 1863
cars, against 3l2 week ago and 2S6 the
year before. Crop reports were most
favorable. Threshings in Kansas are
giving yields that vary from sixteen
bushels minimum to forty-three bushels
maximum per acre, Reports from
Europe about Russia's present offerings
OF wheat were contradictory. One dis
patch from Berlin said they were In
creasing, while Antwerp reported no In
crease In Russian offerings and none
expected before September. The clos
ing cables gave Paris at about %c per
bushel decline, but Antwerp at a con-
siderable adVance-equal to &c for
American red winter and &c per bushel
for Walla Walla. Liverpool closed at
an advance for spot wheat Of lid and
Id for July and sd September. The
selling here Of cargo of wheat pre-
vlously bought for export was one OF
the weakening factors and the receipts
of 100000 bushels of Kansas City like
wise had a bearish influence New
York reported that nearly all wheat Of
fered by cable yesterday to Liverpool
had been accepted, but that other for
eign markets had sent selling orders
for options. Clearances of wheat and
flour from Atlantic ports since Wednes-
day were equal to $4,000 bushels. Long
wheat came out at every resting place,
and 1t Is safe 70 say that one house that
has been prominently identified with
the buying during the recent advance
disposed Of. though their own and 9TH
err brokers, upward Of 100000 bushels.
The price went lower and lower as the
session progressed and closed only a
shade above the bottom. September
opened H@lc lower. at 73i4973Rc, de-
clined with slight reactions to Tic,
closing at 71k671asc.
Corn was remarkably strong, consld-
erlng the break in wheat. The receipts
were 1901 cars. The quantity inspect
ed out OF store since Wednesday morn
ing was l,l05,56l bushels. Export clear

slight advance In futures. The weather
was all that could be desired and re-
ports from the country were mostly TO
the effect that the crop was progress
Ing finely. Some good covering was
done with the decline in wheat helping
the shorts. This class Of buyers made
firm market throughout. September
opened shade lower at 2GSc and sold
sparingly at l-i6c below that before 1t
rose to 26Hc. The effect OF the contln-
ued decline In wheat could not be en-
tirely ignored however and It reacted
to 26%c, and closed at that price bid
Oats displayed an easy tone all day.
An opening decline was met by some
country selling. which was. however,
Offset by good local purchases. The
receipts were good. Cash trade was
fairly active az steady prices. Septem-
Der opened hGise lower at l7ih@i79se,
sold UP 20 17SSdl72c, of to 17hc, and
closed with sellers at l71EGl7%c.
Provisions acted heavy during the
greater part OF the session and trnde
was not very brisk at any time. The
hog receipts were too heavy for bull
market. but some comfort appeared to
be derived from the stiffness Of corn,
and on the other hand the llmpness OF
wheat was ignored. or at least, but
slightly regarded. Pork In the end re-
covered all OF an early break OF l2isc,
and ribs all but exc OF an opening de-
cline OF TIC. Lard, however, was weak
to the end. Pork for September opened
f0If2kc lower at 81 60a7 62tac, rallied
and closed unchanged at 81 72k. Lard
opened TIC lower, at 81 10, sold at
81 07ls and 81 l2ikc, closing 7isc lower
at 81 TO- Ribs opened nc lower, at
81 As, rallied. closing 2isc lower at 81 co.
