The change IN weather conditions in the North
west furnished the chief incentive for free selling

the spring wheat country, private advlces report
ed heavy showers in Manitoba and various sections
of the Dakotes and the official forecast was for
rain tonight tomorrow for a large part or lhe
drouth- stricken region Cooler weather also pre-
vailed throughout the Northwest An increase IN
primary receipts and a decline at Liverpool heiped
to weaken the market A report that u ooatloaos @
of wheat had been worked for export at New
York had a steadyng effect late In the session
The market closed weak September opened &c TO

bushels compared with $4,000 bushels the CORE

The corn market dull and irregular Favor-
able weather for the growing crop caused an easier
