CHICAGo-There was a change OF
sentiment to the bull view to-day and
the news was encouraging to that way
of looking at the wheat situation.
Wheat closed h9&c higher. Corn 1s@
&c to AQssc up and oats unchanged to
h9Ac lower. Provisions closed 2isc to
l81i2lsc improved. Trade In all the
pits was rather quite with spots Of ac-
tivity in wheat and corn.
Wheat market opened AQ&sc over
yesterday BECAUSE Of higher cables from
Liverpool and the Argentine shipments
which showed a decrease OF over 1000
600 bushels last week. There was n
shifting of sentiment apparent curly
and it grew as the session progressed
The talent has been bearish for months
and very much disposed to hearken to
Liverpool Also they were saturated
with the oft repeated reports Of the
wonderfully good condition Of home
crop prospects. To-day the talk was
that Liverpool had been wrong on cot
ton and that 1t did not seem to show 4
proper respect for the American market
fluctuations. Instead II acted very In
dependently. Accordingly the talk to-
day was that the English market as n
maker OF Chicago quotation could so
hung. The locals had other things to
think about Accordingly consldera-
tlor was given the poor showing of In
diana, Ohio and Michigan and the prob
ability OF 20 per cent Of a crop in these
states discussed; the report of the he's
sian fly In Illinois was listened to seri-
ously, and the reports that apprehen-
sior over the dry winds in France was
felt in that country and that Argentine
arrivals from the interior were lessen
ing were given due consideration. The
result was u firm II quiet market. There
was considerable changing at 1&c dif-
ference between May and July, The
shipping demand was slack and the eH-
port inquiry poor, New York having
five loads for export. Atlantic port
clearances in wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary re-
oeIpts were $4,000 bushels against $780,
900 n year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 2O7 cars compared with 262
last week and 296 year ago. Local re-
ceipts were 20 cars, two OF contract
grade. May opened ut 65S G657c, sold
between 65ssc and 66ikc and closed I5l
&c over yesterday at 657Sa66e; July
opened at 67AG67lGc, sold between 67M
d67I$c and 67&c, closing ls0SSc up at
67is@67&c.
The corn market was quiet but firm.
a good business was done. but 1t was
without special feature. Liverpool was
higher on small stocks, Argentine ship
ments were smaller; country offerings
light and there were some reports OF de-
laypd planting although rains have gem
orally ceased. Receipts here were 202
cars; May ranged from 39ikG399sc 10
4OG4Oisc and closed h@Ac higher at
$685. 9S9&c July ranged from 40kd405sc
TO AN G4lssc and CLOSED h@Ac higher
at iO7sc. The easing from the top was
on profit taking. The cash demand was
moderate.
The liquidation OF May was tho feat
urc in the oats market. There was a
good demand for cash and $1,000 bush
els were taken for shipment. At the
bottom there was fair buying which had
a steadylng, effect and the close was
steady. May ranged from 22Rc to 4hc
and closed lEGkC lower at 2Sc; July
from 23h G2S9Ec to 23%c closing IN
changed at 2Slsc. Receipts were 126
cars.
Provisions were quiet, the main ler
mnnd being for lard. Hogs were easter,
which had a depressing effectearly, but
n good general demand developed later
and the wheat and corn strength was y
help under which the marlp, stcadlea
and closed firm. July pork sold be-
tween Sl2 nv and $l2 92is and closed
tween 81 20 and 81 49, closing l00l2iAc
improved at 81 37is ana July ribs be-
tween 81 90 and 81 1871. with the close
