CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices ON Board of TrRde.

CHICAGO, July Higher cables and wet
weather In the southwest caused strength
today In the local wheat market, the Sep
TENDER delivery closing at a net gain of
lAc Corr was up Lq}sc. oats were &c
higher and provisions 2ha5c to TIC lower.
The wheat market was strong almost all
day, owing to an excellent demand for the
September delivery. There was scattered
selling of the July option by local lorgs at
the start and this caused slight recessions
in prices, but the market soon recovered
from this setback and continued strong the
remainder Of the session. An advance at
Liverpool and showers in Kansas and Ne
braska were the chief bullIsh Influences. De
liveries on July contracts, which totaled
100000 bushels, were less than had been
generally anticipated and this helped to
strengthen the market. The close was
strong. September opened NC higher al

ances of wheat and flour were equal TO
5i2, OoO blu. Primary receipts were 2S9,OO bu,
compared with $685. 900 bu. the corresponding
day last year. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts Of l57 cars, against
30 last week and 3SS a year ago.
The corn market was inclined to be weak
early In the day because OF the faVoraDle
weather for the new crop, but toward inc
end Of the first hour sentiment became Dull
ish and throughout the remainder OF the
day the market was firm. The delivery OF
tt0O,0 600 bu. of corn on July contracts had
little effect on the market, as the amount
was about what had been expected. The
market closed firm. September opened "a
&c lower to a shade higher at tpsu tV12c,
advanced TO n1sc ana closeu AT 'VAS' LOSal
receipts were 157 cars with nine OF contract
grade.
Oats were strong all day. Crop damage
reports helped TO strengthen the market.
September opened &c higher at $3.50, ad-
vanced to 4Oc and closed at S9%c. Local re-
ceipts were l6 cars.
Provisions were easy because of a DC
decline in the price of live hogs. At the
close September pork was down 21Rc at
SASH. Lard was off TIC at S.H1s, and
ribs were PIC lower at $.45.

CATTLE-Receipts of catlse az this point
were light again today, the run for the
vious weeks. While a good share OF the
arrivals consisted Of corn-fed beeves, there
was quite a sprinkling OF COW stuff in
Guiding a train OF grassers from the Sand
hills.
The dullness and weakness OF the market
yesterday and the day before was con-
tinued today, in fact, today's market was,
II anything, the most satisfactory OF the
week so far. 1t was very apparent that
buyers had all made up their minds to take
off another good slice, and they accordingly
hung back. Other market points reported
substantial declines which helped to weaken
the local market, and, in the end, sales
men were forced to take off another lOIl5c
if not more. While 1t is difficult TO say
just how much lower the market is from
day TO tay, taking the week as a whole, IL
is plainly SOC lower. The same cattle that
brought $500 or Thursday Of last week and
will show that the decline is not limited
TO the common and medium grades, but
that the top cattle are suffering fully as
much as any other kind.
There were not far from twenty-five or
thirty GAGS OF cows and heifers on sale
this morning. The market, however, was
| just as slow and dull as the steer market,
and at least 5Oc lower for the week.

LONDON, July Money was easier on
the market today, the turn of the month
end having released a large amount in
dividends and other disbursements. Dis
counts were easy. On the Stock exchange
trading was lethargic and the tone was
undecided. Business moved in the mar
rowest limits and values in some direc-
lions were lower. Consols hardened, be-
ing favorably affected by the easier
monetary situation. Home rails were de-
pressed on unfavorable traffic relations.
American securities were idle. After a
feeble attempt to advance they became
dull, with the leading stocks mostly at
parity. The market continued steady and
closed firm. Hudson Bay was flat on
land sales.

morning, l67 cars being reported in, while
other market points also had good runs.
The market was the slowest and dullest
and the latest of any experienced at this
point in a long time. Fortunately there
hand and buyers for that account opened
the market and they succeeded in securing
quite a string at prices that were &c and
possibly 56l0c lower than yesterday. Pack
ers held back, not trying to do anything
even at the decline until shippers had their
orders filled and then they pounded the
market down to a point that was fully lOc
lower than yesterday. This means that
the hogs sold largely at IS eod6.95 and on up
TO $500 for the best kinds.
