CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce,

Chicago, June 15.-The first half hour of
the session in the wheat pit was marked
by good deal of apathy on the part of
traders Notwithstanding the almost sem
sational character of the news affecting
the Russian crop The opening in Septem-
her ranged from 767sc to TIC, compared
with yesterdays closing price of 763sc.
There was no great buying demand at
first and for nearly half an hour the
price hung around these figures. Then the
market began to broaden and once start
ed the buying increased until the de-
mand was the heaviest seen in the pit
for several days. News regarding the con-
dition of the Russian crop, for some time
more or less of a factor, dominated every
thing else in influence. The first bulge
carried September to 772sc. This was call
price, and selling against those privileges
caused a slight reaction, but before noon
offerings from this source were sWamped
by the rush of buying orders and the
price continued to advance until Septem-
ber had reached 7SRc. This was 1Bc
above yesterdays final figures. Septem-
Der closed at 7S12c
There was a firm market in corn. Trad
ing was influenced partly by the strength
of wheat September closed 1sd5sc higher.
Oats were in active demand and a good
advance was scored. The cash trade was
large. September closed ss@%c higher.
Provisions were only moderately active.
The market opened firm and slightly
higher with the strong hog market Sell
Ing by packers caused a slight reaction.
but later the strength of grain helped
provisions and prices again advanced,
the market closing at about the top.

duce-Review OF Trade.

New York, June 15.--The public contin-
ued to hold aloof in the stock market
and dealings were almost wholly profess
strength at one time. Prices were adj
vanced and the traders bought the gem
eral list causing small advances all
around. But the rise failed absolutely to
invite any outside buying and the sup
porting tactics were abandoned during
the course of the day. The listless condi-
tion that ensued was such as to invite
bear aggression, but the bear party APP
parently suffered from the seasonable las
situde as much as the general public and
their operations were not pursued with
any vigor or determination. However,
the gains at one time established were
practically all wiped out before the close
and net losses are the rule, the rest of
them being restricted to fractions.
Sugar ruled above yesterdays level, ris-
ing at one time nearly points, but clos
ing with net gain of only rs.
The Federal Steel stocks, Brooklyn
Transit, Peoples Gas, Manhattan and
Consolidated gas also enjoyed their Pc
riod of strength.
There was an early break in the Denver
& Rio Grande stocks and Colorado Fuel
& Iron weakened late in the day on ac-
count of the labor troubles over the new
eight-hour law in Colorado. American
Smelling stiffened points on a few iso-
lated transactions, the officials of the
company protesting to feel no uneasiness
over the strike, and alleging that 1t came
at a good time
American Car showed losses of 2 and
points respectively for the common and
preferred and p, c., c. & ST. L. moved in
an erratic manner, closing points over
yesterdays level The belief that the out
ward gold movement has not yet con-
cluded added to the disinclination to buy
stocks.
The preliminary trade statement of the
treasury department for May discloses
that the total exports for the fiscal year
for the first time fell below those of last
year at the end of May to the extent of
something more than $5,0O0,0O0. But the
exports in June of last year showed a
heavy decrease from the May exports and
the June exports for this year, which are
running much nearer to last years level,
may bring the total exports for the fiscal
year up to last years unprecedented fig,
ures. The continued high level of imports
compared with those of last year will
cause a marked dimnution in the coun-
trys favorable trade balance for the ifs
cal year. But it is evident that the bal
ance will be between twenty and thirty
millions, which is far above the record Of
any previous year except in 1898.

Buffia1o's Ugly Strike.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 14.-The situa-
ton on the docks to-day is worse than
at any time since the recent trouble
began. According to President McMa-
hon of the International Longshore-
mems union, all of the union coal heav-
ers and iron ore workers at all the
docks in the harbor refused to go to
work to-day. The union freight ham
oilers, outside men who are working at
the different freight houses, also threw
up their jobs and joined hands with
the inside freight handlers who went
out last week The only union men
working this afternoon were the grain
shovelers. President Mcmahon has
wired President Keefe of the Interna-
tional Longshoremens union, urging
him to come to Buffalo at once.
