lieved to be certain that there will be

The Grain Market.

CHICAGO, June 24-Generous rains
made glad the hearts of bears in the
grain pits today and as result
prices softened July wheat closed
off q and September and December
off u. July and September corn
closed off / Is, while oats lost from a
to ". Provisions yielded under sell
ing pressure.
Wheat-Weakness started with the
opening and there were no rallies
worth the name throughout the ses-
sion. In addition to the showery
weather, which in a few districts
around the lakes assumed the sig
nificance of plentiful rain, the official
| prediction was for continuation of
like conditions between now and Mon
day. That had the effect of clinching
the bearish feeling with which the
days business commenced. In the
foreign news there was nothing to
lessen the bearish spirit prevailing
here. Liverpool prices showed that a
reduction of five or six cents in the
Chicago price was necessary before
export business direct from Chicago
would be possible. New wheat was
offered literally at July prices, but
elevator people refused to buy except
at discount.
Corn-The expected rush to sell
1 corn under the influence of the longed
for rain was experienced at the open
ing. First prices showed good de-
clines, but they were rather conserva-
tive considering how vital to the crop
was the relief that had arrived. The
demand from shippers was even slow
er than before.
Oats-The effect of rains the last
day, and predictions for continuance
till Monday, had the effect of keeping
the market full of selling orders
throughout the session and there was
a good decline in futures. The sample
market was very heavy and much
lower.
Provisions were for sale at lower
prices at the opening, due chiefly to
more liberal receipt of hogs than had
been expected, and due as we'll to i'm
proved corn prospects. Selling was
very general and support to prices
poor. The declines, however, were
not heavy except in pork, that COM
modify being generally selected by the
bear leaders.
