Reports of Rain in Northwest
Also Help Decline
PRICES DROP SHARPLEY
Large Crop, Which Brings About n
DecIine-Oats and Provisions
Are Also Lower

Chicago, July 11.-Winter wheat began
moving to the market today on a large
scale. simultaneously rain was drench-
ing the spring crop, which is yet to be
harvested and which has long been at
the mercy of drouth. Prices here re-
sponded with net decline of 1asc to 2l4c.
Other staples also showed losses-corn
a4d17c. oats sc to &c, and hog products
&c to 25c
Assertions were freely voiced that to-
days developments seemed to indicate
satisfaction of farms with present prices
for wheat even if some spectators
thought otherwise and notwithstanding
that quotations at this time of year ago
were much higher. Primary receipts to-
day aggregated 900 bushels, against
2s1, 900 bushels 70 months previous. Kan
eas City receipts 355,000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels. The big ar
rivals of wheat-laden cars southwest told
heavily upon values, though hard
tumble came earlier when the general
rain was reported in the northwest.
Prices are now almost back where they
were before the recent sensational report
by the government Us to the crop stu
alton. The world6 shipment for last
week was larger Chan expected. Septem-

SLIGHT DECLINE
IN COTTON MARKET
Trading Is Not Active and
Late Prices Are Lowest
CROP REPORTS BETTER
Weather Forecast Promises Rain In the
Southwest and This, Aided By
Weak Foreign News Sends
Market Down

. New York, July 1.-THE cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet today and
after an early advance eased off under
realizing and some short selling which
was probably encouraged by talk oil
more favorable weather in the eastern
belt and rather more encouraging crop
reports from Texas.
The close was steady in tone with
prices not unchanged to points lower.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of l point to an advance or :
points and during the first few minutes
sold up to a net advance OF about 3
to Q noints on covering and buying by
people who had taken prof1ts on long
cotton late last week. 1t seemed, now
ever that the leading bulls were sell
ing a little July around 15h cents.
Iivernool made an Indifferent showing.
There was less rain over Sunday in
the eastern belt and 1t looked as II
there was a little southern selling OF
the new crop months above 12.S5 cents
for October. At any rate, the advance
was soon checked and later In the DAY
the market turned easier under real
izing by early buyers with the active
months closing only to points up
from the lowest on covering in the
last few minutes.
July sold off from 1850 to 13.40
but was later relatively firm, clos
ing at 13.47, or net unchanged. A
steamer arriving here from Liverpool
yesterday brought 200 bales of cotton
presumably for delivery on contract.
Southern spot market officially re-
ported early were unchanged to Lite
higher. The weather forecast was for
partly cloudy weather in Texas, where
good soaking rains would be beneficial
and for local showers in parts of the
eastern belt where excessive rains have
been complained of. There was a good
deal of quiet buying on scale down
today. This was attributed to mill
interests. Receipts at the ports today.
