The Markets
CORN DROPSAT
GOOD WEATHER
Better Conditions Give Advantage
to Bears-LOWer Hog Quotes
Also Have Affect.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 6.-Auspicious
weather condition tended today to
give the bears an advantage in the
corn market. Lower quotations on
hogs operated likewise against the
bulls, and SO too did liberal re-
ceipts. Selling however, was not
of an aggressive sort. Opening
prices, which ranged from &c to
&c lower, with July. 1891 to 10
and September, 1875 to 1909,
were followed by material further
setback.
Oats weakened with corn. After
opening Il to sc off, including
July at 675s, to 677s, the market
continued to sag.
Provisions were depressed by
setbacks in the value of grain and
hogs. Ribs especially were heavy.
Subsequently bulges brought out
free selling, considerable of which
appeared to be from longs who
were reducing their lines to the
10000 bushels limit in force after
tomorrow. The market closed
nervous, nc to 17sc net lower
with July 1855 to 1.69 and Sep
TENDER 1891 to 1898.
In provisions, the chief weakness
shifted to pork, which at one time
was down more than 100 a barrel,
but covering by shorts led later to
sharp upturns.
