GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch a. p. Wire)

CHICAGO, July 26.-Scorching tenn
peratures and rainless skies over Can
ada more than offset as a wheat price
influence today news of enormous do
mestic receipts. The wheat market
closed unsettled &c to &c net high
er; corn 1Ac to nc up; oats showing
&c to %c. advance, and, provisions
varying from 15c decline to a rise Of
sc. Although there was heavy selling
to realize profits when wheat prices
bulger, the market was tending upward
again toward the last, despite 4,159,-
600 bushels increase of the United
States visible supply total. Advances
too, were in the face of knowledge
that this countrys arrivals of wheat
today aggregated 6,722,000 bushels
against S,121,000 bushels year ago.
Buyers, however, conSinually eyed
reports that hundred degree hot
wave prevailed in the Canadian north
west and that no rain appeared on the
map.
Crop damage reports from Canada
together with fears of furtheI de-
trioration, led to buying rush here
as soon as the wheat market opened
Besides, Liverpool stocks were decreas-
ing and wet harvest in parts of Eu-
rope was noted, as well ais 30,000,O0O
bushels smaller worlds visible supply
than last year.
On the other hand, huge receipts to-
day at Kansas City, 2121 cars compared
with 695 year ago, attracted notice,
but demand from Millers remained ex-
cellent, and cash prices were but little
lower relative to futures, either at
Kansas City or Chicago.
Corn and oats rose with wheat. I'M
favorable crop advices relative to corn
were received from Ohio and Indiana,
and likewise from parts of Iowa and
Nebraska. Oats threshing returns were
disappointing.
Commission house selling tended to
weaken the provision market.
