CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr.

Chicago, July 9.-Aecumulating stocks and diminishing outlet counted as de- pressing factors in the wheat market to- day. Prices elosedS unsettled, l to sc net lower, with September SIPS S-4 to SPA and December S126 1-4 to SIPS 12 Corn lost If to 7-Sc and oats S-S to S-4, Provisions closed unchanged to S5c low CT.
 With receipts here totalling nearly TOO cars, and with even heavier arrivals at Kansas City, the market soon Fave evil dence os feeling an apparent, an almost complete stoppage of export demand In this connection bears pointed out that in three weeks Chicago had received 13 0eo- 0e0 bushels whereas shipments from here had been only 3.90O, 900 bushels. The situation was further illustrated by an- nouncement That today's export business amounted to but three cargoes, of which two were for Brazil, leaving just single cargo bought for Europe. Bullish reports as to the probable size~of the domestic spring crop and as to drought in Ger many rallied the market during the mid dle ot the session. In the last hour, how ever, selling led by big elevator concern carried the market downward again, and the finish was about at the lowest level of the day.
 Beneficial rains put the corn market under constant pressure, although values hardened temporarily when wheat show ed a transient unturn Oats merely re- flected the action of other grain.
 Provisions had general downward slant owing more or less to assertions that the forthcoming monthly warehouse statement would be be5rish one.
