CHICAGO-There was quiet, mar
row collection of markets on the board
of trade to-day and little change in in
auential news. Wheat closed &c lower,
corn a shade down and oats B@Ac de-
pressed. Provisions closed practically
unchanged.
The cool, sequestered vale of life
which the wheat market is placldly
trudging along to-day was only sc in
width II the expression may be used.
The northwest was still without rain OF
the sort needed, although Winnipeg,
Grand Forks and Fargo got little
moisture, which was sufficient to de-
press prices here bit. Before the
news Of these showers reached here
the market was firm on the Liverpool
steadiness, the dryness hereinbefore
referred to and damage claims from
Kansas and Illinois. The close was
steady. The northwest reports do not
agree. Some sources inform the local
traders that the northwest can go
without rain for some time without
suffering materially, while Others de-
clare the situation already Is very SER
Ious, In consequence. the majority of
traders are inclined to await something
definite, although 1t is generally believ-
ed here that rain in the Dakotas and
elsewhere in that section would at least
be of some benefit. Trade was light,
both for cash and In the speculative ar
ticle. July opened &c over yesterday
at 67H GGT9sc and sold UP to 6T9Sg6I1Ec,

week and $50 a year ago. Local re-
celpts were forty-one cars, none of
contract grade. Save for little squirt
OF activity early. corn was dull ana
generally under the influence of wheat.
The opening was firm with wheat, ana
little advance following under the
same guidance. The market also re-
acted with wheat but rallied under
buying by an influential bull and closed
steady. The weather was favorable for
the crop. Liverpool was steady. Conn-
