CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 28.-With the Morocco
affair again presenting a serious aspect
and with increasing anxiety concerning
the lack of rain throughout the greater
part Of India wheat today showed con-
siderable strength. Traders here noted
carefully the decline in British consols,
and also gave attention to signs of lighter
world shipments than had been looked
for Export demand and spread Of
black rust were also counted as helps to
the bulls. The market opened the same
as last night to Is up. September started
at SSA TO SS7s, unchanged to Is higher and
rose to SOY.
Corn at the outset eased little owing
to rain at scattered points but quickly
frightened up on account of bullish ad-
vices from Liverpool and the Argentine.
September opened 1saA lower to a shade
advance at 1914 to 6311, and rallied to
63a.
In the oats crowd offerings were limit
ed, and pit sentiment seemed adverse to
the bears. Commission houses took hold
rather actively on the buying side. Sep
tember started at 4O% to 4Oh, last night s
level to " up. and assembled to 41A.
An advance at the yards carried pro-
visions higher. First sales were un-
changed to 5a71a dearer, with January
delivery at 1900 for pork, SIS for lard
and s.2712 for ribs.
