Chicago, July 1e.-Wheat: Opening
prices showed great irregularity, adj
bushel with heavy covering by local
and foreign short The early adj
anc wal followed by a decline of
about &c per bushel caused largely by
advance. The market toward the close,
however, showed a good rally, part of
which was unquestionably caused by
reports of export business at the sea-
board, details of which, however, are
hard to obtain, and also reports Of good
flour sales for export from the south
west. The political situation abroad
is becoming as acute as today's news
indicates, has placed values here on a
little different basis, for the time be-
ing at least and the market having
had such a severe decline Is naturally
very sensitive to such an unexpected
happening. We cannot venture to pre-
dict the course OF nations, but any
prolonged strain in the European
situation would at least have a ten
dency to offset the bearish domestic
conditions which exist in this country.
II must be borne in mind that prices
have had a severe decline during the
past week and that some reaction was
naturally due outside of the news which
came to hand. Weather conditions
continue generally good for the harv-
esttng of winter wheat n for the
progress of the spring wheat crop.
Corn: The course of values was
very ~erratic, the tendency during the
early portion Of the session being de-
cidedly weak, with a subsequent sharp
rally. Closing prices for all futures,
with the exception of the July deliv-
cry, ranged higher than those Of last
night. Liquidation was rampant, the
same forcing the price OF the Septen-
or less buying of both December and
May on the belief hat the growing
crop is looking one too well. We
believe that liquidation has een very
thorough in the near deliveries and
present outlook the deferred deliveries
should be bought all good recessions.
Oats: Market generally Shove a
firmer tendency, not sharing with the
higher and there seems to be no pro-
nounced tendency on the part OF the
country to force sales in the way Of
hedges against the new crop. We are
inclined to believe that, for the time
being, oats are low enough.

The root Is either made into a sweet
meat, or merely washed clean, scraped,

an old man in Chicago who sold fresh

summer, but we are told 1T is at It's
best early in the season, during April.
May and June. The sweetmeat is pre-
pared az follows: scrape the sweet
flag roots like carrots or parsnips to
remove the skin, cut in the thinnest
slices possible and boil in water for an
hour or more. Remove them from this
water and boil them in another. Throw
of this water alos and repeat the pro-
cess a third time. Now prepare a syr-
up from a cupful of water and a pound
OF sugar. Put in the cooked slices of
sweet flag and boil them down until
the syrup candies around them. Stir
| them and when the sugar becomes
white and the syrup seems to be abb
sorbed take up the candied slices with
a skinner, so as to drain them, and cool
a little. Put them in a large pan and
stir them repeatedly while drying. In
a day or two the confection will be
ready.

Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, July 19.-Weakness in July
wheat after a break of 2 cents yesterday
was taken as evidence of the effect Of
wheat. 1t was the belief of many
conservative wheat operators that
prices have declined enough for the
time being and that an immense short
interest has been created which might
easily be scared by any unexpected
turn in the weather or r conditions
in the northwest. Selling on bulges
is the popular play at present. With
the present light trade it does not
take much hedging business to satis-
fy a majority of the buyers. 1t was
the gossip of the corn trade last night
that the trading bears short
