the good weather and crop reports en-

Prices.

CHICAGO. Ill, July 7.-At the opening
Of the wheat market this morning, the
situation was entirely regarded as hope
less, owing TO so much wheat at the
price. County acceptances Of yester-
days bids were excessive.
IT was estimated that the total accept
anees for No. 2 red was nothing short
Of million bushels. and the quantity
was so much in excess of expectation
that what was not received strictly on
time was turned down From such in
diCations 1t appeared that the elevator
plot was t. work all the wheat they
wanted on option without any premium
There were other reasons for weak
ness, and among them were shipments
OF a double quantity for the week. and

cheerful, under the lead of consols,
