TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. July 6.-Despite reports
of perfect producing weather in
the spring crop belt, wheat declined
In price today during the early deal
ings. Sustained demand was again
lacking, and in the absence of sup
port the market sagged. although
pressure to sell was of only moderate
force. Word of a decided improve
ment of the crop outlook in France
had some bearing effect. Opening
prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to q lower. September. 1.02 to
1.02k. and December. LOS to 1.05k
were followed by a general setback
to well below yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats were easier with
wheat. After opening unchanged to
u lower, September, 73% to 73H, the
corn market underwent a decline all
around and then rallied somewhat.
Oats started h to \ off. Septem-
Der, 34S. Slight further losses en-
sued.
Provisions reflected an upturn in
hog values.
Wheat prices turned suddenly up
ward at the last today, owing to ef-
forts which previous sellers made to
even up accounts. Increased nerv-
BUSINESS over the black rust situation
was bullish factor.
