Chicago. July 1s.-Wheat underwent q material fall in value today chiefly as a result of assumed likelihood that the railroad strike was nearing settlement Prices closed nervous T-s to 1-2c net lower. with September $1.10 7-S to S1.11 and December s113 to $1.13 1-4. Corn gained 1-4e to 1c, oats lost 1-4 10 3-s and provisions finished to twenty cents p.
 Bearish effects of talk about improved chances for settlement of the rail strike were most apparent in the July delivery of wheat. but later deliveries were alsc affected to a noticeable extent through put the day. Selling pressure. which became heavy at times in the wheat market. was led by houses with eastern connexions Such rallies as took place we're aScribed in the main to covering by shorts. In addition tohopeful prospects for ending the railroad labor difficulty winter wheat receipts at the principal centers were increasing, and the spring crop news was favorable
 Special attention was given to esti- mates of export bsuiness in wheat. as it wa ssaid that corn was being shipped to utilize vessel room, which was orieinally booked for wheat The highest estimate of wheat taken for Europe today wal 500,00 bushels, whereas corn exports sales we're said to total 1.000.000 bsuhels Considerable strength developed in the corn market as the result of the activity of export demand. The bullish effeci was somewhat offset. however, by { statennent that much corn was being con- signed to Europe with expectation ot finding an otlet. owing to delay in tht ! movement of Argentine corn. Oats tend ed downward. In value with wheat.
 Shipping call for lard was said to b. expanding somewhat. and offers of al
 kinds of provisions were rather light.
