ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, July 7-Possibilities of
black rust damage gave something
of an advantage to the bull side in
| the wheat market today during the
early dealings Besides sides ,R6f neas,ns ans
Liverpool quotations were higher;
Buying, however. lacked volume and
a forecast of cooler weather north
west helped more or less to a,lay
which varied from unchanged figures
to u higher, with September 1.03%
| to 1881 and December LOG Il. was
followed by slight general gains and
| then q moderate sag.
Scarcity of offerings. July delivery
| in particular. tended to strengthen
| the corn market After opening un-
| changed to q higher, September IAN
to 74R, the market scored an ad-
vance all around and then reacted
somewhat
! Oats were firmer with other
cereals, starting unchanged to u
higher, September 34R to 35, and
| later hardening a little more.
Provisions responded slightly to
weakness of hog values.
