CHICAGO. .| Special Telegram to the Globe.l Chicago", June 20.—Greater, activity pre- vailed in the grain markets to-day, wheat leading, but prices all j around were lower. The lack of strength, however,"- was general- ly conceded to be due to \ the decline' in stocks in New York,. and . the - increasing complication there which rendered operators nervous and induced free selling by holders, who, in view of the outlook, deemed it pru- dent to unload their holdings and put; them selves in a position for any ; contingency that may occur. The closing' prices on al deliveries of grain were'at the lowest figure "of the session, but in view of the fact that the financial troubles in New York are of an old standing, there seems ' but little reason for the alarm they occasioned in regard to legitimate property and the 'rapid; reduction on stocks, coupled with ' the" increasing " un- certainly, as to the outcome of current I year's whent .harvest, ; ,/which!";■. is largely increased - by -:■ discouraging letters, re- ceived • to-day '..* .;• from* - Calafornia, there is very little on \ which to base short sales, and should no further business trou bles occur in the east," those who buy on rea sonable margins stand a fair show '.to secure good profits," provided they exercise" a. litle patience in , holding on, in case prices go against them in the start. The provision pit was lively enough this ' morning. :' The fellows who-were a week ago swearing to boycott it fora twelvemonth were shouting themselves hoarse and . work- ing themselves into a perspiration about it this morning. ■ There was a big break in lard. '.-. It was down to $7.37 for July at one time, and there was more of the stuff in the market at this figure than anybody • wanted. The Fowlers are out of it. They began a ■ corner in it about ninety days ago, but the sellers were too many for 'em. ••'' * "The Fowlers have certainly sold," said the managing partner in a prominent New York lard house. • "I'd not like to have to pay their losses. Three hundred thousand dollars would not cover it in my estimation: They've borne the biggest share of '** the loss. Lard is now a cent a pound under the cost of production." : • '" - ' When it became apparent that the Fowlers were out of the pit and longer supporting prices a vast quantity of stuff was unloaded. Everybody apparently turned seller and a great amount of the product came out .on stop orders. --■ '■-.. "I'm now a believer in' lard," said "Mr. King, of A. S. White & Co. "It's too cheap. I became a bull a minute ago when I saw. the market rally under the big load thrown out by the Fowlers and their tailors." Wheat was active and lower. Early cables quoted English markets weak and dull, though later advices' were more assuring, the weather being reported too dry for crops. The bulls drew some consolation from this and also from the light receipts, heavy with- drawals and ' prospects for a big outward movement. to-morrow. Mail _' advices from California . gave gloomy accounts of the damage done by the rain there, and \ reports from many sections west of the Rocky moun- tains, though conflicting, were less assuring than could have been desired. • The market opened at about yesterday's close, but under a good outside and local or der demand to buy, including fair coverings by shorts, prices advanced %@yic, but the increasing weakness in stocks in New York and the report of an assignment by Com- modore Garrison caused increased selling by the bears. - Many • holders; also threw over their load and prices soon turned down. The first sales of July were at 86%@86%c, and then appreciated to 87J^c, from which point, from causes noted above the market declin ed to 85% c, and closed on the regular ses sion at 85%@86c. On the afternoon board the feeling was weak and nervous on more rumors of failures in New York, and July wheat closed at 85%cTTTT Corn spmpathized with wheat, although the decline was not quite so severe. . Legiti- mate factors were favorable to higher prices but they were not powerful enough to count eract the influence of the financial ' troubles east. Prices opened under the close" on yesterday's regular session,or 55% c for July, rallied with wheat and sold at 56c, but again weakened and declined to a close ' of 55-& C. The feeling on the afternoon board was nerv ous and August declined j^c, but July re mained unchanged. • Oats were dull and weak for future, and prices "%@J^c lower.
