 General Selling CORN MARKET Is LOWER September Corn Breaks at the open- ing When Holders Try To Real ize Proflts-oats Advance
 Half a Cent.
CORN MARKET IS LOWER

Chicago, July 2S.-Favorable weather for the new crop was one of the chief reasons for weakness in the local wheat market today At the close the Septem- Der delivery showed net loss of A of a cent. Corn was down 11ac. Oats were up 1aQDSsc. Provisions closed 121aQ1712c higher.
 The wheat market manifested it's great est weakness during the first half hour of the day on general selling by commis- sion houses and local holders Offerings were brought out chiefly by liberal local receipts, sharp decline at Liverpool and by a continuance of weather in the north west favorable to the rapid maturing of the new crop. The market became much steadier during the last part of the ses- sion because of buying by shorts and bull leaders, and closed steady September opened 7sc to 24c lower at SSssqS9c sold between SS1aQSS5sc and S9lsc and closed at S91ac Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 17S,000 bushels. Minneapolis, Du- luth and Chicago reported receipts of 746 cars, against 5I3 last week and o5S year ago.
 The feature of the trade in the corn Ildhel was d Dl6dh u IS1 bO -7bS Ai eAfO price of the September delivery on open ing transactions. The July delivery at the same time showed loss of nearly 2c and the deferred futures of about lc. The slump was due to the efforts of several of the leading holders to secure profits owing to the likelihood that the move ment would be much heavier within the next few days. The close was steady September opened 1se to 2ssc lower at 724c to 75c, held within that range and closed at 75asc. Local receipts were 2Ol cars, 22 of contract grade.
 Oats were weak early in the day in sympathy with the surrounding depres- sion, but rallied in the day on buying by a leading bull and closed strong. Septem- Der opened 4c to sse lower, at 421Sc to 425sc, sold up to 4313c and closed at the top. Local receipts were 254 cars.
 Provisions were strong on buying by local packers. The demand was inspired by smaller receipts of live hogs and a better demand for the cash product. At the close September pork was up lI1Sc, at s15 521a Lard was 121aQ15c higher, at s9.37h. Ribs were 15c, at $S .S21s.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 241; corn, 10S; oats, 126; hogs, 25,OoO head.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, July 2S.-The market waits for the bureau report on F'rlday' while feeling that the figures VIII De without any influence. A good snow tho is axnected and trade advices have been so uniform that no other IS thought possible. Speculation Is de- funct for the time being. Some new influence is needed to bring in lfe general operator, and the movement or prices is now the battle of the kltes and the crows without special signlh- canoe. Each side Is afraid of the otE = CT. The bears fear the absorption or August and the small stock here' the bulls fear the early movement anu nressure of the new crop. The revival in business is slow, very little encour- nrement comes from abroad, and the market here Is stagnant.
