ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. July I0.-Favorable
weather to retard black rust had a
bearish effect on the market today dur
ing the early dealings. Harvest con-
ditions in the winter crop region were
also suspicious. and hedging sales of
new wheat tended further to depress
values. On the other hand. bulls point
ed out that the chief probable surplus
yield shown by the government crop
report Is west of the Rockies, and that
the amount of wheat in farmers hands
is only 100000 bushels more than last
year opening prices. Wnfch ranged
from y to IN lower. September
1.02A to 1903. and December. 1861 TO
los u. were followed by a little further
set back and then something of a
rally.
Corn and oats were easier with
wheat. After opening N to ~
lower. September, 76k to 7sA
the corn market weakened trifie more
and then recovered somewhat.
Oats started a shade off to half-cent
up; September. $3.50 to 35h. Later
the market underwent slight sag.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
the provision market
