CHICAGO, July 13-Reports. of rain in

in prices of all grains today. September
wheat closed an even cent lower. Sep
tember corn closed 3Ac lower, oats were
15s@1Ac lower, While provisions were
down from PFC to 10c at the close.
Higher cables and reports of the
spreading of the hot, dry weather into
the spring wheat territory caused Il
strong opening in wheat. However, the
advance was maintained but a few min
utes when, upon reports OF rain IN tie
West, traders became panic-stricken IN
their anxiety to sell and prices dropped
accordingly. Some recovery and a re-
neWal of confidence resulted from pre-
dictions of continued hot weather for
another thirty-siX hours, but trading was
rather light during the second :, 6aIt 1i9l OF
the session. September opened 9sQAc to

the break came prices dropped to 661ac,

receipts were 734, 900 bu, and Northwest
receipts were 1893 cars, against 243 cars

ceipts Gere 144 cars, 10l of contract.
There was an exciting opening in the
corn pit, and sales were made simultane-
ously anywhere from 53c to 54c for Sep
tember The buying lasted but a rev
minutes, and there was then wild
struggle by longs to unload. The change
in sentiment was brought on by reports

prices had declined about sc. Later there
was a good rally, but further rumors
Of ruins caused another decline. Sep
tember opened 5sc lower to 12c higher

ports Of rain, and the close was 3Ac
lower at 503sc. Local receipts We're $40
cars, with 20 of contract grade.
Oats opened about steady in sympathy
with corn, but the market began to show
weakness at the start, when there was
an oversupply of. stop-loss orders and
all local longs were anxious to sell. This
occasioned a sharp decline, part of which
was later recovered, but weakness was
preoominant during the greater part of
the day September sold between 295sc
and 327sc, closing with loss of 13sWl%4c
at 907sQ31c Local receipts were 1G6 cars.
Provisions were dull and steady, with
few features of interest. A moderate le-
mand early was replaced by rather free
offerings when weakness in grains 1e-
veloped. September pork ranged between
$14. .471b and $14.50, closing 10c lower at

vigorously when the break in corn on the

coVery in corn sent prices of stocks

an increase over the last six or eight
years. Of this number of miles it is re-
