CHICAGO. July 12.-Beautiful weather every where with its prospect of permitting thresh- ing operations and increasing the movement of the new crop caused a bearish feeling in wheat at the start. Later New York wired that exporters had taken over 300 GOO bushels there for export and prices had a short-lived rally. Bradstreet's statement which was eX- pected to he bullish. proved disappointment. This, together with heavy foreign markets. started some general selling. The market had a sudden recovery near the close. when 1t reported that milers at Minnea polls and Du. luth had bought 6co.Goo bushels of the wheat held in store there at from S8c to S9c The arrivals of new wheat are increasing and promise to be very large next week Chicago receipts were forty cars, thirty-One of which July closed 1&c lower and Sep tember lost Ac.
