Chicago, May 9.-Prospects to-day of
an early settlement of the strike at
Buffalo and sentiment among traders
that the government crop report to-
morrow would be bullish strengthened
wheat. July closed with a gain of Is

@10c, and ribs sc.
A decline of 10 points in the Michi-
gan State reports since April l started
wheat firm. There was a soft spot
early owing to profit taking, but the
market became strong again on a re-
ported Improvement in the strike stu
alton at Buffalo. A tip that the gov
eminent report would make the winter
wheat condition between 70@75c, COM
pared with 779 last month, added to
the buying movement. July opened IS
@Ac higher at B@72c, advanced to
721sc, declined to 715sc, rallied to 1914
@725sc and closed with sellers at 1878
@721ac. Receipts were light; Chicago
received 81 cars against 336 the same
day last year and Minneapolis and Du-
luth 1876 compared with Al year ago.
The aggregate at western primary mar
kets was 100000 bushels compared with
$4,000 bushels last year. Atlantic port
clearances amounted in wheat and hour

liquidation, but there was a partial re-
coyery near the end due largely to the
more favorable look at Buffalo. Re-
ceipts were 628 cars. The worlds WISH

July started shade lower at 231s0
23Ac, touched 23Ac, sold off to 225sc
and rose to 227s@23c at the close.
Prospects of inspection laws being
passed in Germany unfavorable to
American meats handicapped provis-
ions. A break in the price of hogs at
the yards also had weakening influ-
ence. July pork opened &c lower at
SS.55, declined to $S.52h, advanced to
sS.57A@S.60, sold off to $S.4715 and
closed at $3.50. July lard started I'M

@5.021a at the close. Ribs were dull
within narrow limits.
