Chicago, July 12.-Fine crop pros
poets weakened wheat to-day. July
closed INC lower and Septmber lost
hc. Corn left off Nc higher and oats
Ac lower. Pork gained zoe and lard
and ribs 10c each.
Beautiful weather everywhere, with
it's prospects Of permitting threshing
operations and increasing the move
ment Of the new crop caused bearish
feeling in wheat at the start. Septem-
Der opened at 6S1sc, down to 677sc, but
quickly developed that there were
plenty of sellers at lower prices when
the first quotations could no longr be
realized and rapid decline to 67Ac
occurred, July in the same time dropp-
ed from 75Ac to 74Ac. Later New
York wired that exporters had taken
over 100000 bushels there for export
and prices made a short-lived rally.
Bradstreets' statement, which was ex-
pected to be bullish, proved disap-
pointment. This, together with heavy
foreign markets, started some general
selling and the price of September
dropped to 67kc. The market had
sudden recovery near the close, when
it was reported that millers at Mime
apolis and Duluth had bought 100000
bushels of the wheat held in store
there at from So to S9c. The arrivals
of new wheat are increasing and prom
Use to be very large next week. Chi
cago receipts were 40 cars, 81 of which
were new.
Minneapolis and Duluth received 38
cars, against 361 the year before. At
lantic port clearances were 100000
bushels. Wheat and -four, Bradstreets'
statement, showed the weeks decrease
being 2,189, 900 bushels on this side and
100000 bushels in and afioat for Eu-
rope, or 2,7S9,OO0 bushels decrease in
all, whereas over 100000 bushels had
been looked for and the decrease year
ago was 4,946,000 bushels.
July opened 12c lower at 75Ac, weak
ened to 741ac, then rose to Use at the
close. September began &c lower to
Bc higher at 67B@6Skc, declined to,
67Ac, recovered to 67&c, fell off to
67kc, then rallied to 677sc, the closing
figure.
Improved crop reports and lower ca
bles caused liquidation by longs at the
start in corn. The showing of the gov
eminent crop report was productive of
much bearish sentiment and prices
sagged early. The loss was more than
recovered later on shorts buying to Sc
cure profits on weak spots. September
opened Nc lower at 31% @32c, de-
clined to 31A @31Rc, then advanced to
32Ac bid at the close.
The fluctuations in wheat and corn
influenced oats. September began &c
lower at 1850, sold off to 1890, then
rose to 1890, the closing figure.
Provisions were given firm open
ing on hog receipts below expectations
and an advance of sc in price. The
cash demand on foreign and domestic
account was gOOu anu tHe uHueIloHe
strong The closing prices were the
best of the day. September pork
opened 21a@7hc higher at $3.50
1000, and rose steadily to s10.121a, the
closing price. September lard began
21s@5c up at $3.50. advanced to s5.62R,
then settled to $5.6005.62 at the close.
September ribs started 24ac better at
SIS 60, and sod up to s5.671ac, the rest
ing figure.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat 40 cars. corn $50 cars, oats 118
cars, hogs $4,000 head.
