THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Advances. But Closes n Cent
RelOv the Top Price.

below the Top Price.
CHICAGO July 3.-On account of buying
by local professionals and shorts covering
the greater portion of yesterdays sharp
decline in wheat was recovered today The
market. however, closed a cent lower than
the best prices on local realizing Com
mission houses are active on both sides OF
the market. Liverpool was firm, closing
only 1Sd lower; Paris, 1-4Q3-4c lower;
Antwerp. 5-Sc lower.
The corn market closed a cent over Mon
day with the best figures of the day, al
most &c over. The weather was hot
and clear and continued high temperatures
are indicated for thirty-six hours more.
There was decidedly more trade. There
was the natural inclination to sympathize
with wheat strength. Country offerings
were small. There was good cash de-
mand, but premiums here have been adj
vanced and business is not so easy to
close. Sales today were 10000 bushels.
The seaboard says Is loads were taken for
export.
Early there was enough Northwestern
selling of oats on the rains to break prices
l-2I5-Sc. When corn and wheat became
strong oats entirely recov, ed their early
loss. The close was about the same as
Monday.
Provisions opened higher and had good
advance on the bullish showing of stocks
here, the worlds visible supply of lard fig
ures showing $4,000 terces less than a
year ago, and light hog receipts. There
was fair investment demand, with some
buying by English packers. The offerings
came mainly from one Of the recent lead
ing bulls. This selling caused loss of
part of the early Improvement. The mar
ket closed steady. The cash trade was
fair.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Tie Weekly Summary ISSUED ny the
Department of Agriculture.

Heavy rains have fallen over large part
of the South Atlantic. central ard cast
Gulf States, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys.
which districts suffered much from eX-
cessive moisture in the previous week.
Very favorable weather conditions prevail
ed in the Middle Atlantic States and gen
orally In New England and the a-ake re-
gion The severe drought in the Red River
CT the North Valley has been partially re-
lieved by from one to more than two
inches of rain over northern Mi1nesots,
and light to heavy showers in North Da
kota. Rain is much needed throughout the
Rocky Mountain region and plateau dis
tricts. The week was marked by excep-
tionally high temperatures over the middle
Rocky Mountain Slope and upper Missouri
Valley
Corn has suffered injury from heavy
rains in portions of Indiana Illinois, Mis-
souri,, and Kentucky, and generally in the
east Gulf States, but on the whole has
made very favorable progress, especially in
the great corn States. In Iowa and Ne
brask:; the crop is in fine condition having
received its final cultivation in Iowa In
portions of Kansas, Oklahoma. and Texas
corn is suffering from drought, and would
be benefited by rain over portions of the
Middle Atlantic States.
In the Ohio and central Mississippi Val
leys, as in the previous week, winter wheat
harvest has been interfered with by heavy
rains. and reports continue of damage to
grain in shock In the Middle Atlantic
States harvesting has continued under IA
vorablc conditions and is practically finished
as far north as Maryland. Good rains have
fallen over portions of northern Minnesota
and North Dakota. but further deteriora
ton in the condition of spring wheat is re-
ported from North Dakota. In Minnesota
much spring wheat will be too short to
harvest. In South Dakota the crop is very
uneven and continues to suffer for rain.
In the Southern States oats in shock have
sustained much damage result of
heavy rains, which have also injured II.
unharvested crop in the central Mississippi
and Ohio Valleys; elsewhere except in the
drought region OF the Northwest, reports
respecting oats are generally favorable.
Further Improvement in the condition of
