FIRMER AT THE CLOSE
RUSH OF CROP DAMAGE REPORTS
HELPED THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
Bear Aspect to the Market Early
on Foreign News-Onts Higher
and Provisions Lower.

CHICAGO, July %. - Unexpectedly light
receipts and further reports of damage from
the Northwest caused a rally in wheat to-
day September closed at advance Of
&c. Corn and oats rose lsc each. Pro-
visions suffered from liquidation. Pork lost
1214c, lard 5d71ac and ribs 211c.
An estimate of %, 900 bushels as the
probable yield of the spring crops in Min
nesota and the two Dakotas started wheat
rather easy. September opened 1sc lower,
at 70ssG70l1c, advanced slowly to 7o& then
declined to 70lsc. A report from Paris that
the French crop this year would equal that
of a year ago had q depressing influence
during the first two hours trading.
After that. however, the market took
a sudden upturn and continued strong until
the close. September advanced to 71ssc and
closed at 1kQ1ssc.
The change of sentiment was brought
about by a flood of damage reports from
the Northwest, some Of them placing the
injury already done spring wheat at %
to Is per cent. The smallness Of primary
Western receipts was also an inspiration to
the bulls, to-day's receipts, for the first
time in several weeks, being less than for
the same day a year ago. Chicago received
166 cars, nire OF contract grade. Mime
apolis and Duluth got go cars, compared
with 742 the same day last week and Ia a
year ago. Exports from the Atlantic ports
were $4,000 bushels Primary Western mar
ket receipts amounted to $4,000 bushels,
compared with 10000 bushels the corre-
spending day last week and 10000 bushels a
year ago.
Liquidation, owing to heavy receipts,
weakened corn early, but the loss was more
than recovered later on buying against puts
and in sympathy with the advance in wheat.
Crop reports were less promising than here
tofore and country offerings extremely
small Receipts, sl5 cars. September opened
&c lower, at 31%d31%, declined to 312sQ31izc
and advanced to &c at the close.
Oats followed other grains, opening at the
low point and closing at the top. Reports
from various sectors say that the new crop

sold sparingly at 1910 and advanced to
191kd1essc at the close.
Provisions opened firm, but collapsed un-
der free selling by packers and commission
houses. This latter selling was principally
on stop-loss orders. Part of the decline was
recovered in sympathy with the advance
in grains September pork opened 21kc lower.

The New York stock market continued
well nigh lifeless yesterday, only few
stocks showing any movement Of price
worthy of note. The movement was so mar
row and sluggish that it was difficult at
times TO distinguish. the tendency of prices.
Rock Island showed an opening gain OF
r. while ST. Paul opened down ". st. Paul
was not influenced at all by the statement
of earnings in the third week. which again
broke all previous records. The stock was
heavy all day and was the only one Of the
granger group which hung below Monday
nights level for most of the day. Late in
the day there was an increased demand for
Rock Island, which lifted its price about
point above Monday nights level. The
Southwesterns rose at the same time over
point each. Iowa Central also continued
10 ADVANCE. There was d peIlOu VI
strength in the Pressed Steel stocks, which
rose 81 and 2lz, respectively. A stimuli
taneous movement. apparently sympathetic,
affected National Steel, Federal Steel, Ten
nessee Coal and Tin-plate, and later the
American Hoop stock rose 212 and X, re-
spectively. None of these gains was fully
held. and on the other hand American
Smelling and Colorado Fuel showed sharp
declines. General Electric was advanced
to 12414, but reacted point. Consolidated
Gas, the Iinseed Oil stocks, International
Paper and National Biscuit showed symp

at Cleveland of the Street-car strike had
