IMPROVED DEMAND FOR CASH WHEAT
Strength Develops Early and Is
 Kept Up to the Close
BIGGER EXPORT BUSINESS
Corn Market Is Weak on Selling by Bears, While Oats Are Strong, With and Advance of Nearly
 Two Gents per Bushel.

Chicago, July 2S.-Additional reports of damage to the growing crop in the north west and an improved demand for the cash grain in the southwest had strengthening effect today on the local wheat market, the September delivery closing at net gain of ssd15c. Corn was up Ac. Oats were .%@7sc higher, and provisions were a shade to 10c lower.
 The strength in the wheat market de- veloped toward the end of the first hour and continued unabated throughout the remainder of the session. Scarcity of of- ferings in the pit made the bullish de- mand easily possible. The chief reasons for the upturn were a number of crop damage reports from the Dakotas and an advance in the price of cash wheat at Kansas City. Other strengthening in fuences were improved export business and a forecast for light receipts here to- morrow. Early in the session the market was rather easy on account of selling in- spired by more rain in the northwest. The close was strong. September opened a shade lower to shade higher, at 9O3s@ 9O1se, sold off to 9O15@14c, and then ad- vanced to 91ssc The close was at 907sc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 17,70O bushels. Primary receipts were ,OOO bushels. compared with 60S,OO0 bushels the corresponding day year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of 34S cars, against 329 cars last week, and 261 cars one year ago.
 The corn market was rather weak early nf Ixrl bears, who were actuated by the con- tinuance of favorable weather conditions for the growing crop. During the last half of the session the market rallied on active demand by commission houses, brought out by the upturn in wheat and oats. The close was strong, with prices almost at the top notch. September opened unchanged to 14e higher at 75as@ 755sc, and sold off to 75Ac, and then ad- vanced to 76ls@76Ac. The close was at 76lsc. Local receipts were 134 cars, with five of contract grade.
 Oats were active and strong The July delivery was especially strong and ad- vanced nearly cents above yesterdays closing figures Other deliveries ad- vanced about 1 cent The strength was largely due to the extremely small stocks of contract oats in store here and to the continued small movement from the farms. An urgent demand by shippers for cash oats helped to strengthen the options The market closed strong. Sep tember opened unchanged to ssc higher, at 44ss@45c, advanced to 45ssc, and closed at 451s1454c. Local receipts were 106 cars.
 Provisions were firm at the outset on account of a 5-cent advance in live hogs, but the market soon eased off on scat tered realizing sales At the close Sep tember pork was off 10c, at $15.6715 Lard was shade lower, at $9.321an9.35. Ribs were also a shade lower at $S.S212.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 72 cars, corn Al cars oats 9S cars, hogs l5,000 head.

Advance Is Made on Buying by Bulls, But Reports of Favorable Weath- CT and Lower Spots in Texas

4sv York, July 2S- The cotton market vas suie. today, with sentiment nervous and fluctuations irregular. The close was steady, net unchanged to points lower. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales The opening was steady at unchanged prices to decline of points under local bear pressure, which seemed to be in spred by the idea that Liverpool had been supported by New York bulls in an effort to make profit-taking basis at the opening here. But selling did not be- come general While the big bulls were not aggressive buyers, they absorbed of ferings at a decline and after selling at 9S6c for October, there was a rally to 9.42c for that position, which was fol- lowed, however, by a renewed recession in the afternoon, owing to the favorable weather advices and private reports or an easier spot basis in Texas. At one time the active months showed a net loss of POT points, but there was slight re- covery from the lowest in the last few minutes on covering by trailing shorts. The market closed at 945c for October, or points up from the lowest.
 It was rumored during the day that some German spinners were offering to resell their cotton, but local spot brokers reported a slightly better demand from northern and New England mills for prompt shipment from the south. South ern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to 1sc lower. Private reports stated that old crop cotton was offered on the basis of SEC in Texas.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today were 9O5s bales, against 1888 last week and SOP last year. For the week, 2o,OOO bales, against 25OO4 last week and 795S last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans, PAP bales, against 95 last year, and at Houston 913 bales, against 33S last year.
