CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago June 14.-TdeaI weather in this country
and Canada caused fresh decline In wheat prices

down 7sc Provisions 7i3c. at loc l5c lower
Sentiment in the wheat pit extremely bear
ish all day and prices declined steadily throughout
the entire session. a feature of trading liberal
sales by several Of the leading bulls who have been
taking profits freely the last few days The prn-
cipaI weakening influence was the weather In the
United States and Canada. which is decidedly
favorable for the rapid maturing of the growing
grain. The beginning OF harvesting operations in
the Southwest helped to stimulate selling by pit
traders. Lower prices at Liverpool IN the face of
the strong close here yesterday had a depressing
effect early in the day. The market closed weak
and almost at the lowest point Of the day. Sep
tember opened I2cG4sc 10 1hcd1hc lower, at 93lsc
TO @3asc sold off to 9l7sc and closed at 92c. July

Clearances of wheat and flour equal TO $4,000
bushels. Exports for the week shown by Brad

receipts 10000 bushels, compared with $4,000
bushels for the corresponding day Il year ago Min
neapolis Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of
2Si against 3i4 cars last week and I90 cars a
year ago.
Persistent liquidation by local and outside longs
caused weakness in corn. The market was also
subjected to heavy sales by cash houses. which
generally taken indicate an increase in
country offerings. The fact that local receipts to-
day were considerably in excess of what had been
estimated seemed to confirm this theory. The
close weak. September opened lsc to sc

at 5l7sc. July ranged between 51Ac and 52tsc and
closed at 57sc Local receipts were 1856 cars, with
304 of contract grade.
oats for July delivery displayed considerable
strength early in the day because of active demand
by cash houses. Other options however, were
weak owing to the excellent weather for the grow
ing crop Toward the middle of the day the July
option also slumped off In sympathy with the gen
eral weakness prevailing in al! grains. A leading

the Wabash Railroad Company to restrain that
corporation from exchanging it's outstanding issues
