is light, but in the best prune districts
the crop is amply large to satisfy the
growers Throughout the Liberty

nearly every grower show that the
crop is ample.-Salem Journal

today to some extent on the cattle hill and

market there were few sales made that
looked fully steady, but in the main buyers

Features Of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, July 6-ENcellent weather

states led to fresh slump in prices here
today. At the close wheat for September

visions show a loss Of a shade to nc.
The wheat market was weak from the
start AZ the opening September was
down 1suAc TO Au%c at SIi4usRc. The
factor mainly responsible for the initial
weakness was the improved weather con-
ditiOns, both northwest and southwest A
contributory influence was a decline I'm the

houses purchased freely. The buying re-

Notwithstanding the weakness Of wheat
sentiment in the corn pit throughout the
entire day was inclined TO bulllshness One
OF the chief reasons for the firm undertone
was an improved demand for export An
other influence was extremely light &C

to 551sc, sold between dAa55c and 55lRc
and closed at 55hc. Local receipts were
6Ol cars with ia cars of contract grade.
Weakness OF wheat caused moderate
profit taking in oats, resulting in an easy
market The Kentucky report putting the
condition Of the crop at 20 was another
depressing influence. September opened
I and closed at S1hc. Local receipts were
ia cars.
Provisions were firm at the start as
a result of decreased receipts Of hogs. The
slump in wheat however, caused some
profit taking, resulting IN slight losses.
