Chicago, July IA revival OF the ex-

Into the market for wheat Bullish esu-
mates regarding the crop in the north

prices were a@6 higher than last night.
The end of the day, however. left corn

1 cents, Hog products finished all the
way from 10 cents loss to l73 gain.
Sales OF wheat to foreign countries
were made both here and ut Toledo. The
news of these transactions had an i'm
mediate effect. causing shorts TO cover
in lively fashion. Much interest. too
was displayed regarding productions p,,d 5, by by

bulls lay in explicit den,nis niiso 'hn' ane rne

NEW YORK, July 15.-Further good
rains in the cotton belt during the week
caused such an increase In British senti-
ment that liquidation and fresh short
selling continued the feature OF the trad

The crop Is now blooming freely up

The condition of the crop on the whole
is as good for this time OF the year as
