WHEAT MARKET IS
 AGAIN VERY WEAK Trading Is Nervous and Prices
 Show Wide Range THE MARKET CLOSES WEAK Increased Receipts of Corn Prompt Selling and Result in Final De- cIine-oats Close Weak and
 Provisions Firm.
THE MARKET CLOSES WEAK

Chicago, July 30.-High estimates of the total yield of wheat in the northwestern states had weakening effect on the wheat market today, prices at the close showing net losses of 7s to 1AQ3s cents. Corn and oats also closed weak but pro- visions were firm.
 Considerable nervousness characterized trading in the wheat pit and prices moved over range of 13s to 1s4@1B cents. The report of a Minneapolis trade journal, given out late yesterday, which claimed total crop of wheat aggregating 235,- 900, 900 bushels for Minnesota and the Da- kotas was supplemented today by sev- eral additional estimates, which placed the crop at from 225,000,00O to 100000 GOO bushels. These figures were largely re- sponsible for the weakness which pre- vailed late in the session. During the day the July delivery sold between $1 or and $1.0Sa4 and September between $1 035s and $1 05ssQ1 .051a. The market closed weak with July at $1.07h and September at $1 .03A.
 Increased local receipts and a slacken- ing in shipping demand prompted mod crate selling of corn during the greater part of the session, which resulted in final declines of ss to 1A cents July sold between 70 and 71sz cents and Septem- Der between 66 and CTS cents, the former closing at 70 and the latter at 66h cents.
 A break of cents in the price of the July delivery was the feature of trading in the oats market, which was extreme ly weak all days, notwithstanding con- tinued light receipts. Crop reports were again extremely optimistic. The range of the day on July was between 42 and 45 cents The market closed weak at almost the lowest point, with prices 1d11s to 2as cents below yesterdays final figures, July being at 421s cents and September at SSl cents.
 Provisions showed considerable strength at the start. owing to a 10-cent advance in live hogs, but eased off somewhat during the final half of the session be- cause of the weakness of grain Prices at the close were 121s to 15 cents lower to 15 cents higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
