 CHICAGO. June 26.-Liqudation was quite general in the grain and provision pits today, prices fuctuated nervously, July wheat clos ing lkc lower, while April was %c higher september corn was down ss1hc: cats were on h and provisions from I7ia to 65c.
 The main influence in the wheat pit today was the weather map. and on reports of rain at Winnepeg and various points In North Da- kota and Minnesota. There was heavy sell Ing pressure at the opening with July l4 to 5sc lower at S2ha93 and September a shade higher to &6hc lower at 79A67o% The H. quidation continued during the first hour in which time the market had declined ruateri- ally. July selling off to sl% and September to 79h. Toward noon a good demand devel- opened on report that rains were much needed throughout the Northwest the showers last night having been only of very light charac. ter. There was also fair buying from the southwest and with higher prices at St. Louis Minneapolis and Duluth, the market quickly responded and became quite strong Trading was heavy throughout the session. There was renewed liquidation within the last half hour and July closed Pc lower at 62%, after selling up to S3S. September closed at 8OGSOh A gain of %c, after touching So% Clearances equaled 25o 900 bushels Bradstrect's re- ported exports of wheat and flour for the week of 3,5lS 900. against g. SAY. 900 week ago pared with 230. 300 year ago Receipts 33 cars. none contract Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2Sl total for the three points of 3l4. against 279 last week and 295 year ago.
 Corn sympathized with wheat and the early weakness Tn the latter market brought out considerable liquidation, while the more favor able weather conditions also aided in bring ing out selling orders There was little corn wanted except by shorts. who covered freely on the decline. With the recovery In wheat tho corn market advanced and much of the early loss was regained. The sentiment was still bullish the crop prospect. After rang ing b7tween 5o1s and 5lHc July closed at STA, net loss of SsG%c. September was of %Glsc at 5lh, ranging between 5O1k and 5lb. Recei. ts. 586 cars, 40 contract
 There was an urgent demand for July oats from shorts at the start and prices were very cratic. opening from hc lower to Ssc higher at 43G44ls. The demand however, was soon satisfied and prices became more settled. Other months were comparatively steady with light trading. July closed hc lower at 43 af- ter ranging between 42% and 441kc while September was off Ac, closing at 34ha34ss after selling between 341s and 34K. Receipts l94 cars.
 Provisions were quite firm at the opening in- huenced by the better tone of the hog market but the weakness in grains together with heavy liquidation and exceedingly light demand, caused q severe break in prices and the market ruled weak a greater part of the day Pit traders who bought on the recent decline were the best sellers while the buy ing was scattered, but mostly for outside account. September pork closed at a loss of 65c at Sl6; September lard l7lR of at S9 42b and ribs down 2oc at S9 s5.
