Lack Of Speculative Trade Caused

EARLY ADVANCES WERE ALL LOST.

ports of Damage To Crops In This
Country and England.

Chicago, Juno 25.--Lack of speculative trade
today created u heavy feeling in the wheat
pit July closed IN down and September left

cllned rs Pork advanced and lard 2is0
s. Ribs unchanged
Wheat was strengthened at The start BY the
reports of damage to crops with with The
mail Of every commission house was loaded
English cables came shade better. and there
were quito number of bad crop advices from
the other countries, among them cablegram
from Bromhall saying that the weather In
England was unsettled, the crop three weeks
late, the growth rank and the crop outlook
poor. Later the market succumbed to the
dullness of speculative trade and the general
impression that such crop as this seasons
can spare a lot to the bugs and other pests
and stll have enough left to make larger
crop than was ever before gathered. The
early advance was all lost and prices left of
under last nights close. The receipts here
were six cars. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceived eighty-six cars. Beerbohm's estimated
worlds shipments OF wheat aud -four to Eu
rope this week was 900 bushels Exports
from both coasts of this country for the week
were S,S9s 900 bushels. against :, 10000 bushels
the corresponding week in 1897 The days
clearnnccs from Atlantic ports were equal TO
$4,000 bushels in wheat and -four, the greater.
July opened at 72i14i3. sold down to 7l% bid.
September started NAE down, at .67is@67h,
declined to 66 rs, up to 67hGdI3s, off to 66lsU
66A, then nrmed up to GGh bid at the close.
Better crop prospects incident to improved
weather depressed corn. Scapers sold oats
on every decline in corn. This, combined with
selling by longs, caused prices to sag. When
stop loss orders were reached tho market was
on the run, and these orders added speed to
the decline.
Tho speculative trade was still limited in the
heaviness on account of the yellow fever
Prices were held firm and were shade higher
at the close yesterday, except In ribs.
Estimated receipts Monday; Wheat, Is cars
