&c The sweltering heat OF the trading
pit was such that the brokers kept away
from II when they were not compelled
by receipt OF an order to brave the
personal discomfort OF Its execution.
The course OF foreign markets caused a
general suspicion that the foreign crop
injury had been greatly exaggerated.
Expectations OF bearish crop report
tomorrow also had tendency to re-
strict buying. Chicago receipts were
sO7 cars Northwest receipts were light
too, bull!sh factors. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of i22 cars
against 263 n week ngo and AIS on the
corresponding day OF the year before.
Talk OF extensive purchases of new
wheat to arrive in Chicago this month
had a depressing effect upon the mar
ket In the middle OF the day and II did
NOT again recover It's early buoyancy,
The Atlantic port clearances were very
liberal, being equal in wheat and fioul
TO 5lb. 900 bushels, but that did not AFFECT
prices to any perceptible degree. MIN
neapolls and Duluth stocks are ex-
pected to show decrease for the week OF
$50. 900 bushels, and the visible supply
not to exceed 100000 bushels decrease
New York reported foreign buying or
ders in the market but generally at I'M
workable limits. The sales there for eS-
port were said to be only 10 loads for
the day. Sales of spring wheat for ship
ment to country millers amounted to
10000 bushels. The price of September
slowly declined to 65Sc and closed at
that.
Corn was active for awhile, but the
heat finally drove the traders away.
Corn reports, as n rule, were favorable
and the disposition at first was to sell,
but the demand was so good at the cons
cessions that an advance soon ensued.
That was again followed by free selling
on predictions OF rain tomorrow
throughout the corn belt, and the mar
ket ruled quiet and weak for the rest
Of the session. Local receipts were ita
cars. September opened hdhc lower
at 27Ik @27Kc, advanced to 27&c' and de-
clIned 10 &c. That was the closing price.
oats were slow, both for the cash arti-
Gle and for the speculative futures. Tho
feeling was firm early, due to fairly ur-
gent buying by shorts. The market
sold Off later, following wheat ana corn
in their declines. Local receipts were
1853 cars. September opened UNCHANGED
at lSilc, advanced to lS9sGlSlsc and de-
cllned to lSkc, closing at lSbqlShc,
In provisions the market was one OF
liquidation, prices started at some ad-
vance, due to a strong hog market, but
the packers took advantage of II to dis
pose Of all the market could hold. The
volume of trading, however, was not
heavy enough TO cause radical weak
ness At the close September pork was
glsc lower at 81 20; September lard $40
