to hold their samples over until tho next
market day.
The bulk of the wheat ruled No lower.
but a few early sales OF choice wheat sold
at practically unchanged prices.
The corn market was quiet on account
of the light receipts, but tho cash demand
was sufficiently active and prices remained
firm.
Oats were weak. declining a quarter

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
On Report Of Cooler Weather In Northwest
Prices Easo Off

Prices Easo Off.
Chicago, July 1s-Increasing receipts
from the winter crop region, together with
predictions Of slightly cooler weather In
the northwest gave an advantage today to
the bears In wheat. Largely In conse-
quence the market closed weak, k01Kc
net lower, with September at N.2l @1.21h.
and December at &1.2ih @l.2+%. In corn,
the outcome varied from lc decline to a
like advance. Oats finished MONO down,
and provisions up &c to 1o012hc. except
July pork. which showed a nominal set
back of Toe.
Enlarged call for cars throughout the
winter wheat belt tended to make the
wheat bears somewhat aggressive. as the
movement of new wheat to primary mar
kets already showed a notable excess over
last years total arrivals at the correspond
ing time. 1t was said that only the scarcity
of cars hindered receipts at present from
reaching huge proportions. Elevators In
Kansas were asserted to be full to the
roofs and there was gossip also that In
general the quality OF the new wheat was
fine. The outlook for somewhat lower tenn
peraturcs northwest tended further to
handicap the bulls as the prospect seemed
to make spectators more inclined to take
chances on the theory that Canadian fields
might escape with relatively smaller losses
from black rust and from heat blight than
has been the case south of the international
line
although some fresh Canadian crop dam
age reports rallied the wheat market late
in the session, the effect on values proved
TO b> only of transient character. AT
least for the time being, a majority of
dealers seemed to have accepted the view
that the great bulk of the Canadian crop
would eventually be saved
Scattered showers In the southwest tended
to ease the deferred options of corn. The
July delivery. however, remained light
Oats were bearishiy affected by reports of
excellent conditions for tho harvest
Threshing was expected to be In progress
on decidedly more liberal scale next
week.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs
