 Chicago. May 5.-Excellent weather con- dtions for the growth of the new crop formed the primary cause for a weak July wheat was off hc Corn and oats are up kc. Provisions 21e Gp5c higher. isf and h the volume me of % trading m was vas small. Brilliant weather was decidedly d factor in tending to hold down prices.
