 Jacob Wolner's circular says: ''The Wool market for the two weeks has been rather disappointing again, only a few choice lots ot foothill and Nevada Wools being sold. It does % not seem to be matter of prices, some holders would make some concessions but there are no buyers. The warehouses are full and Wool continues to come in
 Eastern markets are reported dull and quiet and there has been no movement excapt what was created by some mills having mill tary contracts and had to have certain kinds of Wool Still the market Is held very firm and 1t can only be question of time when manufacturers will want Wool Statis- tically Wool never in a better position as the country Is prosperous and orders for light weight goods. samples of which now being opened will meet large demand"

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 1S-The holders of July Wheat were thrown into something of panic at the start by the news from Liverpool, where spectators were said to be demoralized. At one time the price of July there quoted S1ac per bushel below the price last night For some days the feeling in July had been steadily growing weaker, and when the adverse news fell off 10 72Isc a drop of Sc frofn the close last night. considerable portion of this de- cline was recovered on general buying. Sep tember and December showed fair degree of strength and sold somewhat higher at the start, but finally broke the demoralZed feel ing in July. September sold down to 679sc, while December declined to 6Sqsc. The rally in July caused some improvement in these longer liberal buying by suorts who took advantage of the break to buy in and secure profits and under this there was a good rally. Liverpool was weak and when the decline for the day was announced from Paris and Antwerp the prices here had another severe setback. While more rain reported in the Northwest, the weather in the South and Southwest, where Wheat Is in its ripening stage. the conditions are all that could be desired. The declines at Paris were 5Lc a bushel for June and 3S.c a bushel for September-December. Antwerp down the equivalent of 5Ac for American red and 23sc a bushel for California. July left off with loss of 34c and September 1Isc.
 The strength in Corn was due to the impres- sion largely prevailing that the crop cannot turn out well without most exceptionally favor able weather from now until its maturity. Heavy rains In the Western States during the last twenty-four hours tended to maintain the courage Of the bulls. July Corn closed Sac higher
 Oats were firm in sympathy with Corn. July closed unchanged.
 Influenced by the strength in Corn, Provis ions showed slight improvement at the start, but eased off later. Pork closed 5c lower, lard 2Isc down and ribs unchanged.
