MARKET SUMMARY.

CHICAGO, July A.-Wheat closed strong to-
day at an advance of 11ac. There was moth
ing made public that suggested any radical
change In the situation. although claims were
maze OF serious damage to the spring wheat
crop by excessive rains Corn was strong
throughout, hot winds West and light
country offerings, gaining &c. Oats also i'm
proved sc. Provisions were dull, but sym
pathized with the strength in the cereals and
gained 2RQ10c. The Liverpool market de-
clined lid for the September future. but
quoted spot wheat unchanged, showing
much smaller decline than had taken place
mere on the two preceding days. This re-
Vived the dropping spirits of the bull crowd,
ana was the chief reason for the first squirt
IN the price. Continental houses were good
buyers of December. A number Of complaints
were received from the Northwest Of Excess
slVe moisture injuring wheat and of its hav-
ing hooded lands. Chicago receipts were ISL
cars, of which 1T were new, and 1000 bu
were Inspected OUT A year ago, 1874 carloads
were inspected, 159 of which were new. Min
reapolis and Duluth received today 442 cars,
against 300 the corresponding day of the year
before. The clearances of wheat and -four for
both coasts for the week were 1,97S,S28 bu,
or about 45O, 600 hu more than last week. and
compared with 30f3,0OO blu on the similar
shipments to Europe for the week were esti
mated at about 4,80000O blu. The clearances
from the four principal Atlantic ports were
liberal, being equal to 900 blu, 453, 900 of
which were in the raw grain. Wheat opened
with very general demand for September,
at shade over the price it closed at yester-
day. The first buying very general
among commission houses, local spectators
and scalpers, but the buying rush quickly
subsidized and the bear raid brought a smart
reaction from 717sc for September to 71kc,
which proved to be the low point of the ses-
sion. There was a quick rally to n1ac and
a leisurely advance of Ac more, followed by
a few swift bounds that took it to 727sc. 1t
reacted from that to 72Ac and then took an
other squirt to 72%c After that the bears
were too much demoralized to do anything.
The scare lasted to the close of the session,
and September touched 73c. September open
ed B@Ac higher at 71hc, sold between IFS
Q73c closing at 72A@72%c.
The market for corn was excited through
out. Damage reports from the Southwest
were accompanied by substantial backing in
Z the shape of buying orders and prices ad-
gvanoed steadily until the closing. Septem-
Der corn opened &c higher at 267sc. sold at
26%4c and advanced to 279sc closing a shade
from the top The strength of the corn mar
ket rather tended to stir up the short ele-
ment on oats. September opened unchanged
at from IT'S to 171ac, sold to 177sc and was
offered at the price at the close, which shows
a gain Of 12@5sc since yesterday. The cash
department held steady. Receipts were 275
cars Shipments were rs, 600 bu. Provisions
were firm. September pork closed at s7.75;
lard, $417@4.20; ribs at $780, Estimated re-
725 cars; oats, 300 cars; hogs SO, 600 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, July A.-The foregone con-
be settled today and the cereal and cotton
crops continuing promising, lent the stock
market further strength today, except in
the final half hour, when short values on
realzations of profits diminished the days
rise to the merest fraction, while trivial
losses were suffered by Sugar, Lead, Chicago
Gas and the Reading shares. Commission
houses bought literally In the early deal
ings, as did London, although it was a hol-
day there. The movement in the grangers
was slightly mixed, with Rock Island gaining
a fraction while Burlington and St. Paul
remained stationary and Omaha and North
western receded slightly. st. Paul had shown
temporary strength on having earned more
for the third week in July than ever, ex-
cept In 1897. On moderate dealings the South
western showed some Improvement, Missouri
Pacific gaining IL. The squeezing of the
shorts in Tobacco caused a rise in that
stock Of point and half. General Elec-
trio, exceptionally fell two per cent from
the initial price, but closed with a net loss
of a point: Advances of a point or more
were scored in the following securities: Rio
Grande & Western preferred, 2; Central Pa
cifc, Delaware & Hudson, Denver & Rio
Grande preferred and Mobile & Ohio.
Total sales of stocks today were 211, 759

was tempered, however, by receiving
every courtesy from the minor officials.
Despite the intense heat, they are al
ways gentlemanly and obliging.
A small army Of men looking for con-
sulshLps and revenue offices besieged
the White house. The rural political
loss was among them larger than life,
accompanied by either senator or

conventional costume. Perspiratlon
gathered upon his brow, but ne re

his secretary before admission was

And so passed the day. The night
was correspondingly hot, but the men
breathed more freely when they heard
