DAY in CORN PIT
COARSE CEREAL LEADS IN THE
TRADING AT A SHARP RISE.
Oats Also Strong, Active and Higher,
and Wheat a Fraction Up-PrO-
visions Dull and Weaker

CHICAGO, July 9.-1nterest on the Board
of Trade conferred to-day in the corn mar
ket, which was strong and active as a
result of continued reports of damage by
the dry hot weather, and September closed
an even cent higher than yesterday. Sep
TENDER wheat closed AQssc higher; Sep
TENDER oats were ssGHc higher and pro-
visions closed weak and 5Q10c lower.
Wheat opened weak in face of the
strength in coarse grains and trading was
dull. The market improved somewhat
in the first hour when, after a little re-
action from the opening figures. corn and
oats started on a fresh advance Taking of
profits by shorts caused a firmer feeling
to succeed the early weakness. September
opened 1sQAc lower at SAC and advanced
commission houses. led by Phillips, prices
declined to 6SS4c and the close was Aq$sc
lower at $3.50. Seaboard reported forty
loads taken for export. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal TO $4,000 bu-
Northwest receipts were 1913 cars, against
21 last week and 104 a week ago. Primary
receipts were $685. 900 bu. compared with
&c., 900 last year. Local receipts were la
cars. 1Ol of contract grade.
Corn again attracted a large crowd and
the opening was strong. with buyers large
ly in the majority and bidding ssc to almost
1c above yesterdays close. The continual
ton of hot, dry weather was the cause
opened at 4S12c to ACC, but at that figure
there were numerous holders willing to
take profits and prices reacted TO 4Sh2c.
Buying was general at the reaction and
another rise began. At 491zc there was-more
realizing and prices dropped to around 49c.
The close was 1c higher at 49d4y1sc. Local
receipts were 352 cars, sixteen of contract
grade.
Trading in oats was active and the open
ing was higher. The dominating bull factor
was the prospect of curtailment in the
crop occasione6 by unfavorable weather.
Country traders were active buyers. while
the selling was mostly local and for long
account. September sold between SOC and
3OAc, closing 3sG19c higher at 3O2sq3Ohc.
Local receipts were 11 cars.

offerings. and the quality for an average
was satisfactory. The attendance OF buy
ers was not large, but the demand proved
to be equal to the supply. and sales for the
most part were at prices as high as those
current two weeks ago. The inquiry was
principally from Eastern buyers, and hey
bought the bulk OF the supply, but there
was some requests from foreign and South
ern points. On account of the absence OF
high-class stock there were no phenomenal
sales reported. Among the c~Onsignors TO
