CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, July 10.--Corn main
tanned strong tone to the last and
the finish was near the best price
for the delivery. The feature Of
the market was not, so much the
buying as the lack of selling pres
sure and the opinion prevailed that
the big short lines have not been
disturbed. Prices closed strong
with corn 4hc to sac higher.
Oats finished &c to 35sc above yes
terday's close, and provisions were
stronger as q whole. July pork
and ribs were the exceptions, be-
ing lower under liquidating sales,
Reports of the appearance of
black rust in the northwest was re-
sponsible for the bull market In
corn. The trade were inclined to
buy corn on the theory of COM
parative values, believing that any
advance in wheat as result of
the talk of rust should be reflected
in corn. Commission house buy
ing. short covering and long pur-
chases by the pit trade featured
the market. Selling pre- ssure at
no time was large. Rec cipts con-
tinued of good volume and the
weather was reported ideal for
corn, all indications pointing to a
bigger yield than estimated by the
government yesterday.
Oats also showed strength, be-
cause the government crop report
was not SO bearish as the trade
had anticipated and this encour-
aged some short covering.
An exceptionally slow and unin-
teresting trade was noted in provi-
sions with values covering a limit
ed range. The price trend, how
ever. was higher, largely because
of the strength shown in hogs,
which sold steady to 10c higher.
Closing prices:
Corn - Sept, S1.59&; Dec,
$1.43&.
Oats-Sept., S0hc; Dec, 1910.
Pork-July, S2S.30; Sept, $4,000.
Lard-July, 1910; Sept, s19.S5.
