CHICAGo-sellIng to secure profits
caused n setback In the garin markets
to-day. Wheat for September closed
fSsc lower. The cash demand fell of
perceptlbly and cables failed to respond
to Yesterdays advance here. Corn ad-
Vanced early but closed on a reaction
and unchanged Oats lost Ac. Provis-
ions were fairly active. Pork gained
10c. lard &c and ribs TIC.
Wheat opened at not far from the
prices current at the end Of the previous
session, and for an hour the range OF
fluctuations in the leading futures was
confined to 1c per bushel, very diitl-
cult state OF AFFAIRS, from the first hours
violent eccentricities on the day before.
The foreign markets were less excited
than they We're yesterday, with some
disposition to weakness, Mt the open

while the next dispatch from here
showed a slight gain the latest prices
were at slight reduction from the first
Paris was Is centimes lower at the
opening and Berlin the equivalent OF &c

then turned very weak. stopping only
at Sl1a, a &c decline from the high price
yesterday. 1t recovered again by IL
O'Clock to around S2Ac, where It hung
llstlessly and without much passing for
half and hour. The lower quotations
from Paris were made much OF by the
bears. Antwerp was unchanged and
Liverpool closed from Id to I'd higher
for cash wheat than 1t did yesterday,
and I'd higher for September. The de-
cline which took September to size was
helped along by break in prices at
St Louis during Its progress. Mime
apolls and Duluth stocks Of wheat were
reported to indicate reduction for the
week OF 1000 900 bushels and as Chicago
stocks should show about i,000,00O bush
els decrease, the visible supply ought to
show something like 100000 bushels
decrease. all owing to some increase ut

cars and $50 were the receipts the cor
responding day the year before. the
quantity inspected out OF store was
IT. 900 bushels. Minneapoli Us and Dulnth

The early dealings in corn did not
sympathize with the weakness In wheat

the minds of late bull dealers In wheat

celpts footed up $4,000 bushels. The
decline in price Of wheat began to have
more effect toward the end Of the ses-
sion, and lowest prices were prevailing
