CHIcAGo GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 20-Unfounded rumors that some one in the grain business in the North west was in trouble, the clear weather and the demoralized foreign markets started wheat weak For about fifteen minutes a sufficient number of shorts induced to cover to keep the price within the limits of the opening range. But reports of harvest operations be- ing resumed where they have been interrupted by rains and every indication of a gigantic marketing 1t abroad caused quick break. July which sold at the close Saturday at 7214c bid declined to roc. September lost lsc, sell ing at 667sc and December sold off 1$sc at ment showed a change. The market here paid no further attention to bearish news, shorts evidently impressed with idea that the price had already declined sufficiently. On that theory and emphatic denial from the North west of all the rumors that had been current early together with the development of good cash demand, shorts bought quite freely and kept the price rising until the early loss was decline for July and 1Ad each for September and December. and subsequent quotations from there came lower and lower until the final report which showed July Ad lower for the closed with loss of 1.c and September left off with an advance of Rq24c.
 The improvement in the weather had weak ening influence at the opening. Later 1t recovered all the early decline and sc more important buying by shorts. July closed %sc higher.
 Favorable crop reports and weather forecast created weak feeling in oats at the start Later however. the loss was all recovered on general buying and the advance in corn. July closed 5sc higher.
 The buying of provisions was much better than the selling; prices, after yielding a little early, recovered sharply. Pork gained 25c, lard TIC and ribs 10c
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

CALIFORNIA ORANGES IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. June 20.-The Journal of Com merce says: California oranges continue in fair demand and prices remain steady and un- changed. Shipments light but there Is said to be considerable quantity still to come forward Naveis spot and to arrive are re- ported to be scarce and good quality. Valen- cas and Mediterranean sweets are in rather small supply. No shipments of Sorrento or anges being made to this market. as they command better price in Europe than could be obtained here. California loose muscatel raisins dull and neglected. with nominal and unchanged prices. Some interest is shown in the new crop of seeded raisins for shipment from the coast, but few seeders have yet made prices. The crop at present promises to be e large one and of good quality, provided late rains do injury to the stock in trays. While there is good deal of inquiry for prices and information concerning the prospects for the coming crop there seems to be a general dis position to withhold orders until the stock is ready for marketing. Foreign raisns Of all kinds are reported to be in limited supply on spot. but in the absence - demand prices are
