Chicago, July ..
Auspicious weather conditions both

spring crop belt had 4 hoarish intiu-
ence today on the wheat market here.
and so likewise did late reports from
Minneapolis that -four business had
been cut in two. Prices closed nervous
at the same as Mondays finish to 10
cents lower, with September 116i to
11es and December 119 to 1874. Corn
gained 3ms to / and oats n shade to
cent. In provisions the outcome was
J cent to AZ cents decline.
Wheat fiuctuated rapidly within
range of about l. cent but avera ged
lower. Despite a strong rally after an
early break. the selling side had tho
advantage throughout the greater part
Of the day largely because little was
heard regarding black rust in. the
northwest. temperatures generally be-
Ing against its rapid development. A
leading crop expert was quoted TO the
effect tkat the lateness of the rust had
improved crop chances.
Export demand for wheat was de-
scribed as slow except that little
business was done with Great Britain.
Nevertheless New Orleans was outbid-
ding Chicago 2aG3 cents for new
wheat at various points in the Illinois
district and was getting the bulk of
light country offerings in the west and
southwest. However. supplies on
ocean passage showed an increase of
3656.000 bushels for last week. and
besides break in foreign exchange
purchasing for Europe.
Prices for corn and oats displayed
considerable strength. Need of rain in
important corn producing territory was
noted. and some. export buying of corn
was being done here.
Provisions responded to changes in
the hog market. declining when hog
valneS lost an early advance.
