GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 25.-Grain traders beheld
the odd spectacle today of oats, selling
higher than both wheat and corn, and
yet the phenomenon caused hardly a rip
pie in the dull and embarrassing business
routine. July new oats sold at nc. when
a few shorts wanted the stuff. Cash oats
were absorbed by the bull leaders at as
high as Tic in order to keep them from
the shorts. While oats were selling in
dribble lots at these fancy figures Sep
TENDER wheat was around 71% and the
hitherto fancy July corn at something I'M
der 67. In general, however, it may be
said the July corners were resting.
Shorts in wheat, corn and oats in that
month seemed penned in by the big in
terests. The other markets were doing
little because of fair weather, good crop
reports and other bearish influences,
which in turn had little effect because
of the fears of July manipulation. In the
end September wheat closed 3-S0R
down, September corn Is lower; July
corn ~ lower, September oats 3-S@1a
lower and July oats Is higher. Provis-
ions were very irregular and closed 1917
