Chicago, June 1S.-Demoralization of
the foreign markets and the all per-
vading feeling of gigantic crop here
weakened wheat to-day. July left off
with loss Of SIC and September 1hc
lower. Corn closed &c higher and oats
unchanged. Pork closed sc lower; lard
21hc down, and ribs unchanged
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 de-
moraliZed. At one time the price of
July there was quoted 81ac per bushel
lower than last nights price. For
some days the feeling in July here has
been steadily growing weaker, and
when the adverse news from Liverpool
was received the price of July fell off
to 721ac, drop of &c from the close
last night. A considerable portion of
this decline was recovered on general
buying. September and December
showed a fair degree of strength and
sold somewhat higher at the start, but
finally broke on the demoralized feel
ing in July September sold down to
675sc, or 1ac below the close yesterday,
while December declined to 6S3sc. The
rally in July caused some improvement
in these longer futures, and Sley got
additional help from he liberal buying
by shorts, who took advantage of the
break to buy in and secure profits, and
under these improving conditions there
was a good rally.
The strength in corn was due to the
impression largely privating among in
fluential corn traders that the crop can
not turn out we'll without most excep-
tionally favorable weather from now
till it's maturity. Heavy rains in the
Western States during the last "a
hours tended to maintain the courage
of the bulls. July opened Ac higher
at 321s@32Ac, sold up to 3212 @325s,
then declined to 32A @323sc, the clos
ing figure.
Oats derived firmer feeling in SYM
pathy with corn. July opened B@Ac
higher at 24B@24Ac, declined to 23A
@23%c, and closed at 237sc bid.
Influenced by the strength in corn,
provisions showed a slight improve
ment. July pork started 21ac higher
at 1921, sold up to $967h, then de-
clined to 1885, the closing price. The
range in lard and ribs was unimport-

Stocks-The outside interest in stocks
continued at minimum to-day, and
the buying for London account, which
had been feature for several days past,
dropped off. The reactionists perceived
that the only obstacle in their path was
the group of speciaities, the strength in
which exercised a sustaining influence
yesterday In order to break up this
point of strength the bears made Wig
orous attack on Peoples Gas and Su-
gar. The former was sold down an ex-
IRENE of 27s and the latter rs. Con-
siderable Peoples Gas stock was dis
lodged by uncovering on stop loss or
ders, but the volume of the liquidation
was not heavy. Numerous reports were
put in circulation to account for the de-
cline. The market settled down into a
condition of dullness after this discour-
agement and drifted sluggishly until
the close, which was steady at some
what above the lowest. Net declines
were mostly fractional. There was SELL

Notwithstanding the weakness in the

disclosed how far the conditions have

wheat market, the pending government

off in speculation. Compared with a

In the form of cash from government
disbursements and from receipts from
the interior. The increased reserve re-
quirements are therefore met with a
margin to spar of s5,4317 700 to add to
the surplus. AS the rates for money
during the week have shown only a
slight hardening tendency, it seems
probable that the demand for subscrip-
lions to the government loan have been
practically offset by the decreased use
of money in the speculation.
The prospects for the coming wheat
crop have been eagerly watched IN Wall
street for their far reaching influence
upon the general prosperity. The cri-

give a bearish tinge to the prevailing
feeling. The possible effect upon the

DRY GOODS.


New York, June 1S.-The dry goods
market has developed several partial
surprises during the week. The reduc-
ton in bleached cotton has been follow
ed by fairly heavy trading, at least
enough to tighten the burden of stocks
held at first hands Other grades OF
staple cottons have ruled quiet. There
have been several heavy orders for
drills to be dyed brown for govern
ment USE Outside of these there have
been no movements of consequence. In
prints the movement in fall goods since
the making of prices on fancies has
been much heavier through the medium
of road statesmen than heretofore. Sta
pie goods show less activity, but are
moving with some activity. PRINT
cloths have shown little movement dur
ing the week Although the quotations
on extra is still &c, there are very few
bids recorded.
A distinct tendency toward weakness
is noticeable in the market. There
have been limited sales Of odd goods,
but the weeks movement has not been
heavy enough to offset the production.
Bradstreet's.
There has been a better jobbing bust
ness. encouraged by the more seasonable
weather, and this has helped out the trade
somewhat. Cotton fabrics are moving
better, but this is due in part to eoncesee
sions in price made on leading lines OF
bleached goods. Brown cottons are
steady and the tone quite firm. Print
cloths show considerable strength Prlhl-
ed fabrics are going well, partlculariy
wide percales and cretonnes. Ginghams
are in a strong position. and prices on
several leading makes have been az
