MINING STOCKS. .
PRODUCE.

Chicago, July 22.-Indications of an
early movement of the new crop in
Europe, together with general weak
ness abroad, caused a decline in wheat
to-day toward the end of the session.
September closed A@$sc lower and
December lost &c. Corn advanced Y
q sc. Oats left off asG1ac higher
Pork and ribs lost 212c each and lard
sc.
Wheat started "a trifle higher on
light Argentine shipments and the
slow movement of the new crop. The
Liverpool market showed little change
which, considering the weakness here
yesterday, was discoura ging. Strength
in corn and firmness of spot wheat
sustained the speculative wheat flu
lures for a while. Later. however, the
general weakness abroad and the near
approach of new wheat deliveries in
Europe, started some selling here.
This resulted in a steady decline until
the early advance was more than lost.
Receipts at Chicago were sixty cars.
