WHEAT PRICES OFF
ON CROP REPORT
Governments Figures Lead to
Heavy Selling at Start
of Market.

CHICAGO. July 9.-Bearish interpreta-
tions OF the Governments crop report
led to considerable selling OF wheat at
the opening of to-day's grain markets.
All options were a cent to 1& cents
lower compared with yesterdays close.
A rally followed when commission
houses supported September ana black
rust reports from southern Manitoba
and portions of Saskatchewan helped
the movement Trade was rather light.
September opened at 1904 to 1.20%.
dipped under 120 and then rallied to
around yesterdays close on reports OF
overnight export business at the sea-
board backed by local professional
buying.
The market lacked support toward It's
close and finished at about its low point
of the day. Closing prices were: July.
1-181a to 1.1S% August. 1.1Sh, Sep
tember. 11sA to 1.1S1a, and October,
LII. Those prices represented net
losses of around 3 u cents.
Corn trading was marked by an ad-
vance of July to cents over September,
tho removal of hedges on $4,000 BUSH
els sold late yesterday to Montreal
being the factor. The market generally
opened about cent off from yester-
days close. with July at 60I to 81. Sep
tember at 59Ss to so. and December at
59es to 60. The movement took July
to 6cA in the first hour and other OPP
tions advanced in sympathy. July
maintained its spread over September
fairly WELL but the corn market eased
or with wheat. At the close July was
60N. September 50 to 5s5s, and Decem-
ber, 5S1b to 5S%.
Oats were firm from the start. Sep
tember starting Il lower to Il cent
higher at 3sH to 3SE, and steadying
at the latter figure.
Provisions S h owed considerable
strength on optimistic trade reviews.
September lard went to 1882 and Sep
tennber ribs to 1887.
Black rust in Canada and adverse
domestic threshing returns have been
effective toward making this weeks
wheat price average higher. Values this
morning compared with those of week
ago ranged from n cent on to an ad-
vance OF cents. Corn showed loss
OF y to Is cents. oats were % cent
lower to q shade higher and provisions
gained IN to 35 cents.
Before developing strength the wheat
market temporarily underwent a sharp
decline IN connection with relief from
drought and excessive heat In the North
west On the downturn the lowest
prices of this season were touched in
certain cases. In certain quarters. how
ever. 1t was regarded as doubtful wheth-
er or not the crop in South Dakota and
parts of Minnesota and North Dakota
could still be helped by the better
weather. That uncertainty was made
much of by the bulls, and upturns which
followed were given decided impetus by
attention to threshing returns from the
winter crop. especially an estimate that
deterioration in Missouri amounted to
10000. 900 bushels compared with the
prospect a month ago Then came news
that black rust had appeared in Mani
toba and Saskatchewan. and 1t was
conceded generally that the outlook for
damage there was much more serious
than 1t was in the region to the south.
Liberal receipts and slowness of ship
ping call tended to weaken corn ana
oats.
Some export demand for lard was
stimulus to provisions.

Various Government officials are
vehement and bitter in their charges
against the oil men. Gen. Gales. chief
of the Cabinet. who recently returned
from an extensive tour of the oil re-
