LITTLE EXCITEMENT
AT MARKET OPENING
(By Private Wire to Overlook
Cooke Co., Pendleton.)

(By Private Wire to Overlook G
Cooke Co., Pendleton.)
CHICAGO, July 15.-Wheat-Re-
sumption of trading was accompanied
by less excitement than expected and
the steady action of market was high
ly commendable. Bulk of trade was
quite naturally in the nature of buy
ing and selling hedges. Initial trades
were at practically the top of the ses-
sion while the close was very near the
bottom. The news which might have
been influential in a settled market
was of a mixed character, advices
from the seaboard reported sales as
high as 100000 bushels to British
interests, while as an offset, cash
handlers reported free selling by the
country. Cash markets were gener-
ally easier and from L to cents
lower. A crop summary issued by a
leading northwestern authority re-
ported condition in the growing wheat
territory favorable. with black rust
confined to sections that produce very
little wheat. Although concrete
opinion can hardly be expressed at
this time, it is likely that the demand
from abroad will impart firmness to
futures temporarily.
Corn-Early strength was of short
duration and at the close lower prices
were reached accompanied by rather
severe liquidation of long contracts.
Receipts were light at 1873 cars but
demand insufficient and cash values
receded / to 2 cents. Weather condi-
tions in all sections ideal for crop
growth. Outside markets reported a
sluggish demand for spot of springs.
Nothing heard as to consignment of
| Argentine corn at the seaboard but
there was no interest shown here by
eastern shipping interests. There are
indications that arrivals from now on
will fall off to considerable extent
and although there will not likely be
an aggressive demand, the recent de-
cline has created a situation where
the market is in a position to respond
readily to anything constructive and
we look for recovery from around
this level.
