Chicago, June 7.-Liquidation by
longs, sharp break in the Liverpool
market and excellent crop conditions
caused depression in wheat to-day July
closed with loss Of &c and September

and ribs are Gown sc and 21bc respect
lively.
The Liverpool market, which has
been steadily declining for several
days, was especially demoralized to-
day and reported a drop equal to SEC
per bushel IN July and Age in Septem-
Der, with the continental cables also
lower. The crop outlook continued all
that could be desired, with the grain
In large areas ready for the reaper.
The Kansas report for June shows the
condition 103-the highest ever report
ed at this season OF the year. The
report set at rest the rumors about
chinch bugs and rust. AS result
longs quickly began to liquidate
There was urgent short selling, sales
on stop loss orders and on exhausted
margins. Under the pressure the mar
ket went off rapidly. The rally which
followed was due chiefly to the fact
that many shorts were disposed to take
advantage OF the break to secure pro-
fits. This class of buying was sufti-
Gent in volume to cause a temporary
reaction.
Chicago received 40 cars, against IS
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
116 cars, compared with PIP the year
before. The Atlantic port exports were
astonishingly heavy, amounting in
wheat and -four to about 100, 900 bush
els. The figures gave the discouraged
bulls heart enough to take en- some
wheat and caused many shorts to get
out and be in position to contemplate
the position philosophically for a
while. The total stocks in the world
visible, as compared by Chicago daily
trade bulletins and Liverpool corn
trade news, is 100000 900 bushels,
against 107,000,000 bushels a year ago.
While the crowd was battling over the
small domestic receipts on the one
hand and the bearish figures connect
ed with the worlds stocks on the
other, heavy thunder storm broke
over the Board of Trade building that
settled the fight. The shorts rushed
to get their wheat in out of the wet,
and the market became quite strong.
July opened "a @2Ac lower at S5ha@
SEC, sold up to 861ac, down to S51ac,
up again to S734c, then fell off to S6Ac
at the close. September started 1Ac
down at 7434 075c, advanced to 1928 q
75hc, down to 75c, rose to 1914 0763sc,
then fell off to 1878 @75kc, the clos
ing figure
After weak opening, corn became
strong on unfavorable crop reports
from Kansas. There was no export
demand, however. This, together with
the decline in wheat, caused a decline
in prices near the close. July began
$50 hc lower at 31A @313sc, sold up to
31Bc, declined to 31Ac, advanced to
32B@32Ac, then fell off at the close
to 31%@31sc.
Selling orders predominated in oats
at the opening. Later, however, buy
ers took hold and the market steadily
advanced until a gain of sc over yes
terday's close was made A slight re-
action took place in July. July open
ed 80 &c lower at 22h@23c, sold up
to 231sc, down to 221ac, up to 22Ac,
then reacted to 23c at the close
Heavy grain markets at lower prices
for live hogs weakened provisions
One or two heavy selling orders were
on the market, but at the decline in
prices there were plenty of buyers.
July pork opened 171A@25c lower at
S101O@10.17, advanced to S1027, de-
clined to $1010 and rose to 5000 at
the close. The range of values in lard
and ribs were inconsequential
