Feedstuifs continue their slow and almost i'm
perceptible decline. Red bran IS now becoming
quite a factor n this market. Inferior miEs7-
feed sells lower and extra good higher than the
quotations below which represent the average
run of this description.
Ginning every two CT three days. The circular 'i
Somers & CO. says:
Arrivals Of hay continue to steadily increase
the total for tho week ending today amounting 70
100 tens. in comparison with 3 $50 last week
and $3.50 fer the week preceding that. With the
increase in shipments the market continues 10
weaken, until at the present writing conditions
badly demoralized here. with hay selling IN
San Francisco for even less than buyers nave
paid for 1t in the country. This condition cannot
of course continue, one Of two things must
result: shipments TO market must be materially
lesSened, or the selling price in the country re-
duced. As large quantities of hay are ready for
shipment at many points, we incline to the idea
that 1t is the selling price in the country that
must show change, for conditions in way war
rant the prices that being very generally
asked throughout the interior. Business along
all lines has become very dull, aud the hay mar
! ket is always materially affected by such condi-
ti0ns, for the consumption OF hay here Is mate
rally reduced when general business operations
become inactive.
The future presents nothing of promise or OF
interest and 1t is generally conceded that for the
next six months we must expect very Gulet
times throughout the Pacific coast.
The market for new crop hay Is becoming
more firmly established along definite lines. al

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, June 30.-The wheat market
opened weak on lower cables and favorable
weather conditions and continued heavy almost
all days. The feature of trading was the hquida-
tlon of the July delivery, which caused decline
of nearly 1c in the price of that option and or
&c in September and December. Likelihood that
receipts of wheat during the next week or
10 days will be. greatly increased tended to
weaken the local market. The principal factor
OF a bullish nature was the Illinois crop report,
which showed a deterioration of 10 points In
condition during the last month, although an i'm
proved demand for cash wheat by exporters had
considerable streng thening influence and tended
to steady the wheat market late in the day. The
close was easy. September opened 1s@ nc lower
at S5%c to S61sc. sold at s6Ac and then de-
clined to S515c and closed at S5bc. July ranged
between s49sc and s512c and closed at s4A @
S4bc.
Corn was In good general demand and the mar
ket was strong all day. The close was strong at
almost the highest point. September opened a
shade lower to 1s@Ac higher at 69&c to 69Ac,
July sold between 6SA and 693sc and closed at
69Ac.
Oats were strong on active demand by commits
sion houses and shorts. The market closed strong
at almost the top notch. September opened 1sc
to Ac higher at 3S5sc to 39c and advanced TO
39Ac, where it closed July ranged between
ASA c and 46c and closed at 455se.
Provisions were easy because of the liquidation
of the July deliveries, particularly of pork. At
the close September pork was OF 5c, lard and
ribs were down - &c.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Prices for beans remain unchanged. The bean
report of Adolf Koshland says.
During the last week the bean market has
shown change. The outward movement con-

the stocks that are carried prices firmly
maintained. Reports. OF the growing crop are
generally satisfactory. There should be very

Poultry and Gnme

The previous low prices and unfavorable mar
ket conditions for poultry have checked ship
gradually improving under the decreased receipts.
Buyers are taking hold more readily, now that
supplies less excessive and small to medium
sized chickens, which were almost unstable at
the close Of last week, are moving eT at fair
figures. Large fat hens and full grown young
roosters were the first descriptions for which the
demand showed any improvement and the frmer
feeling In them has extended to everything else
in the chicken line Pigeons both old and
young, remain rather weak, while ducks and
geese are in limited supply and steady Another
car of western hens was marketed yesterday
and sold fairly at satisfactory prices
