Markets.


Chicago, June THE Liverpool market,
which has been steadily declining for sew
eral days. was especially demoralised to-
day and reported a drop equal to sxc .
bushel In July and 4isc In September. with
the continental markets also lower. Inc
crop outlook contained all that could be
desired with the grain largely ready for
the cap
The Kansas report for June shows the
condition as 1o3. the highest ever reported
at this season Of the year. The report
set at rest the rumors about chinch bugs
gan to liquidate.
There were urgent short selling sales
on stop loss orders and mar
gins. Unde the pressure the market went
OF rapidly. The rally which followed was
due to. the fact that many shorts were
disposed TO take advantage Of the break
to secure pronts. This class OF buying
was SUFFICIENT i'm volume to cause n tenn
porary reaction. The Atlantis EXPORT
were astcnishingiy heavy. amounting in
wheat and -four to about 100000 bushels.
The figures gave the Encouraged bulls
heart enough to take on some wheat ana
caused many shorts to get out and be In
position to contemplate the situation philo-
sophically for a while. The total stocks

While the crowd was battling over the
small domestic receipts on the one hand
and the bearish figures connected with
the worlds stocks on the other. a heavy
thunder storm broke on the board OF
trade building that settled the Tight. The
shorts rushed to get their wheat in Out
of the wet and the market became quite
strong.
July closed &c and September sc lower.
Selling orders predominated In oats at
the opening. Later, however. buyers o
hold and the market steadily advance
until a gain Of &c over yesterdays close
was made. A slight reaction took place at
the close. July closed Hc lower.
After a weak opening corn became
strong on unfavorsble crop news from
Kansas. There was no export. however.
This, together with the decline In wheat.
caused a decline In prices near the close.
July closed VIC lower.
Heavy grain markets and the lower
prices for live hog weakened pruvi-
sions. One or two heavy selling orders
were on the market. but at the decline
