CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Speculative temper in
wheat at the start today favored higher prices,
but trade was not large. Higher cables, good
export demand and foreign statistics of bull
ish nature brought out some good buying orders
from outside sources, and shorts covered their
lines to some extent. Prospects for worlds
shipments were for about half the weekly esti-
mated requirements, for reports from Baltimore
were to the effect that exporters were taking
practically all the grain at that point and that
the stocks would show material decrease for
deliveries. disposition the part of longs
who have recently sold out to defer reinstating
their lines developed and the market thereafter
became dull and featureless and practically all
of the early gain was lost. The close was
steady. September opened 5lc to 15c higher at
91h691%c, sold firm at 91Ss M9I 15c but re-
acted later to 00Hc. The close was a shade
over the previous final figure, at 90H 091c
The early corn market was strong in sympathy
with the early sentiment in wheat, but excel
lent weather for the crop weakened the more
distant futures and some influential liquidation
of September caused retrograde movement in
that option; Later the market became weak and
closed at the bottom. September opened to
&C higher at T6sk M76ssc sold between S6ssc
and 75xc and closed at 755sc.
Oats were easy for the crop months
while the July delivery held firm on a very
moderate amount of trading. September opened
&c to NC higher at 43A @43ssc ranged be-
tween 1870 and 1870 and closed 1sc lower
at 43c
Provisions weakened under selling of gen
eral character. At the close September pork
was or 45c; lard was down 20c and ribs were
2215c lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
