TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, July 10-wHEAT-wheat
price developed weakness today in the alb
sence of any fresh evidence that the spring
crop was threatened by black rust. Ru-
mors to the contrary led at one time to a
quick upturn, but the effect failed to last.
Liverpool dispatches asserted that adviees
there from the American northwest were
most reassuring in regard to the supposed
rust danger. Opening prices here which
ranged from H@%c to I've lower. with
July at S1.06 to $1.06A and September at
$1-0S to S1.0s%. were followed by a rally
to above Saturdays final figures, but then
another decline.
Uncertainty over the black rust reports
which were conflicting, kept the wheat
market nervous. The close was strong
however, &c to 134c net higher with July
at S1.08 and September at $110.
CORN-Scarcfty of offerings gave firm
ness to corn The July option, which
showed noticeable 1ightness mounted to
the highest price on the present upturn
The market whole, after opening III
Nc off to &c up, scored a moderate gem
eral advance,
The close waste steady at nc to nc net
advance with July at 7SAe and September
at 741k@T4Ac.
OATS-Hfgher quotations from London
tended to lift oats. Corn strength was
also a llish factor
PROvISIONS-Decline in the hog mar
ket acted as weight on provisions The
weekly export returns were Hkewist of a
depressing character.
