CHICAGO, July Wheat was rather
quiet to-day and slumped on more
rains in the northwest. Although part
of the decline was recovered the close
was easy, August A@asc down. Corn
closed 3sQ12c lower because rain was
predicted for Kansas and oats 1sc high
er. Provisions closed 21aQ5c to 100
1212c lower.
When the wheat market started the
days business there was among others
the consideration Of more rain in the
northwest. AS to whether this rain
would rescue the perishing crop in the
portions of that section where spring
wheat is not already numbered with
the dead was a matter of controversy.
The opinion that the wetting would do
some god caused Nc drop at the OPP
ening, which was at 79a to 1850 for
August. Meanwhile Liverpool was rest
ing after days work AQ1d over the
previous session and later reports ap-
peared showing a small batch of re-
ceipts at the big markets. The trade
changed its views for a moment after
digesting this information and August
ambled up to 207sc That was as high
as the market got. The rains together
with some messages of a cheerful sort
from the spring wheat country Animal
ed the trade into selling OF various
sorts and under this pressure August
slid off to 1880. An English cable
prophesying smaller worlds shipments
would be shown in Mondays report, to-
8ether with lighter southwestern
movement as shown by receipts caused
reaction from the bottom TO 79Ac
but some OF this was lost and the close
was easy August closing A@3sc under
yesterday at 1850. The cash business
was slow. Clearances at the seaboard
were equal in wheat and -four to 521,-
600 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 1877 cars against 1928 last week
and $3.50 a year ago. Local receipts
numbered AZ cars, three of contract
grade.
Corn sold off on the prediction of rain
for Kansas and Nebraska where hot
weather and scorching winds have
been holding forth, affording the crop
expert an opportunity to say bad
things about the likelihood of the crop
showing up well. The representation
and the fact that some of the bulls for
reasons OF their own had stuff for sale
caused drop. The market rose a bit
from the bottom on some buying by
western interests and by locals who
paid attention to damage claims made
by an expert in the field. Trade was
rather active. August sold between
44ss and 4312c, closing ss015c down
at 43Ac. Receipts were All cars. Ves-
sci room here was engaged for 10000
bushels on basis of &c freight to
Buffalo.
Oats were steady without any par-
ticular trade. The market generally
was disposed to follow corn but finish
ed little better than did that mar
ket. Traders were favorable to the
idea OF keeping OF the short side till
more is known of the extent of damage
to the crop and pasture August sold
between 241&c and 23Bc, closing &c up
at 24c. Receipts were 100 cars.
Provisions were dull and easy. partly
with the cereals, but mostly on the let
ting out of long stun. Hog receipts
We're light and there was fair, though
scattered demand through the COM
mission houses. September pork sold
between So S5 and s12 621s and closed
lOGl21ec under yesterday at s12 ESQ
II 6413; September lard between IS e21s
and 50. closing 21a15e lower at SIS IS
! az xST1z. and September ribs between
ST ~05G7 071a and S. 95Gs715 with the
close 5@71ac depressed at IS s7h.
