GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 23.-Conflicting reports
concerning the condition of the spring
sOWn wheat kept the local market in a
nervous condition today. but the close
was weak. On denia1s of damage by black
rust, September closed AG7sc lower, corn
was up 1k0DAc, oats &c lower and pro-
visions PFC to 10c higher. The wheat
market opened strong because of the con-
tinued favorable weather in the north
west and because of a decline at Liver
pool. The market, however, soon recov-
cred on buying by commission houses
which was based on further reports of
damage of black rust in Dakota. The
market weakened late in the session be
cause of reports from Minneapolis of the
claims of damage by black rust which
could not be verified. The market closed
weak and near the bottom. September
opened AG%sc to re higher at 921zc, ad-
vanced to $3.50 and then declined to 9113c,
closing at Else.
The corn market was firm during the
greater part of the day because of re-
ports that many fields are under water.
Several of the leading commission houses
were active bidders during the day. The
close was firm. September opened shade
to IsGHc lower at 5215c to 523sc, sold up to
53Ac and closed at 52d521sc.
The oats market was nervous and in
sympathy with wheat. September opened
unchanged to &c lower at 3S12c to 3S9sc,
advanced to 391sc and closed at 3S1kc.
Provisions were firm because of higher
prices for live hogs and buying by local
packers. At the close September pork
was up PIC, lard was Ice higher and ribs
were up &C.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

SATISFIED To
STOP DECLINE
Remnant of the Old Guard of
Bulls Made No Attempt to
Push Prices.
RESULT WAS STAGNATION
SOME SUSPICION REGARDING
UNION PACIFIC.

New York, July 23-There developed in
the stock market today a mild opposition
to declining tendency which seemed sat
isfied to arrest that tendency without
making any attempt to push prices up
ward. The result was a dull market
which approached stagnation at times
The only active trading was in half a
dozen stocks, and the prices of these vi
brated within a narrow range. The days
news almost wholly concerned the divi-
dend to be declared by Southern Pacific
next month. The large earnings for the
last year disclosed by the official esti-
mates given cut last week gave the basis
Tor the rumors that the rate would be
raised from the present per cent.
NO authoritative information was forth
coming from any source. The manner in
which Union Pacific has hung back since
the new movement in Southern Pacific
started, aroused suspicion, as Union Pa
cific would be the largest beneficiary
OF any increase in the Southern Pacific
dividend.
The strength shown by Atchison was
attributed 10 the expectation that the
annual report to be published Thursday
VIII snow earnings very largely in eX-
cess of the present disbursement in divi-
dends. There was a conviction also of
the sharp weakness of United States
Steel, which was a material feature in
disturbing the market in the opening de-
cline today. Buyers of this stock pro-
fessed confidence that the strike of iron
miners in the Lake Superior region would
be bound to benefit the corporations.
Money developments are unimportant,
rates on call continuing easy.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $4,000.
U. S, Is registered advanced 4 per cent
