Tte net change represented a Blight loss. The opening was c'Jlet at an advance of 1 point on June and un changed to A points lower on other positions in response to disappointing cables, and following the call tha losses were Increased a point or so owing to liquidation and wins sell'iig by room bears promoted by the larga estimates for Ssxnrdar** receipts at leading points, and the prospects lor clear weather following ecattering showers In portions cf *re belt. At th« decline there was covering by recent sellers and a little demand, from spat bouses, causing a Btrtlsi rally. There was a, little *purl in business at liL-c*. but. generally speaking, the market was almost at a rrar.istlll. The close was within a point or two of tte lowest a-d quiet unchanged to 4 points lower. Sales were estimated it about 75,000 bales. Port receipts for the Cay were heavy arid are expected to be still heavier to-day and exports were small. In this connection, how ever it Is predicted that the outward m .\<.:. ,_:.t will be very heavy toward the end of the month, and the fact Chat the cotton coming out has been already purchased accentuates the reports that Southern spot holders are refusing to market at any concessions. The into eight lor the week exceeded expectations somewhat, but l.ad little lr.Suenc* on the market and it does not appear that any e2crt is being made to discount the showing of t;.e €***••» Uure.au next Tueeuay. which would indicate ap parently that co surprise is expected.

After a email roily In the last hour the market closed fairly steady at U®%c net decline. Around tha opening considerable wheat was picked up by the room talent, acting on the Idea that tho market was entitled to some recovery after Its prolonged decline. This support waa maintained irregularly until around midday, when it became evident that the run of bear crop news was too strong to be overcome by such feeble buying as the pit interest could produce. Accordingly the local holdings came out freely, breaking July below D3c hero and under »Oc in Chicago. Thereafter weakness prevailed until the market was finally run up fractionally by the strength of corn and profit taking by traders replacing *arly sales. As a supplement to private crop advices, "The Modem Miller" report gave another bearish' review of the winter •wheat situation, perhaps the most bearish of the season. A feature was the report that the plant Is growing where It ha* failed to germinate earlier In the srason, or where It had been feared the wheat had been winter killed. On the map to-day clearing weather and continued mild temperatures were recorded. Statistics of the day in cluded 408.000 bushels received at primary points, com pared with 410. bushels, and Argentine shipments of 4.4G4.0U0 bushels, or practically 500,000 bushels more than Thursday's tstirrates. Minneapolis stocks decreased 400.000 bushels for the week. According to public cables Liverpool closed not unchanged. Paris partly 20 points higher, Berlin unchanged and BuOapost 10 points lower. Throughout the day Minneapolis was a leader in the declines, losing over iic a bushel, while St. Louis showed but little response to the weakness elsewhere. The cash market here closed easy, as follows: No 2 red, $1 15%; No 1 Northern Duluth, $1 20»i, and No 1 hard Manitoba. $1 08 f o b afloat. CORN — A renewal of bull support In the corn market to day not only offset the effects of heaviness in wheat, but advanced prices %c net in the local market, everything closing up firm at about the best point of the day. Liver pool addsd to the improvement on this side by closing Vj'i' ! .id net higher, and there was mora or less talk about the probability of smaller Western receipts, although for the day Itself Chicago arrivals were somewhat ahead of the estimates, and 410 cars were scheduled for Saturday. Exporters still held off, taking only 7 loads at the various ports. No 2 corn in the local market closed at 67%©550 elevator and at 53 %c fob afloat; No 2 white, l ,ic, and No 2 white. &4?ig550 fob afloat. OATS — The good" ■weather news kept oats more or less under bear control all day. except for a slight rally near the close. The cash • market was quoted as follows: Mixed, 20 to 32 ft, 30® Sii J ,4c; natural white, 80 to 32 ft. 37S3S!i;c, and clipped white, 2G to 40 Ib 3S®4oc. RYE nominal. BARLEY — Market dull. Feeding was quoted at 44 l -i0 elf New- York and malting at 4C©s2c c 1 f Buffalo. Wheat, in cluding flour, exports for the week, according to "Brad street'e," aggregate 1,044.505 bushels, against 895.742 last week and 1.b01.i540 last year. Since July 1 wheat exports aggregate 4S.C3S.Oya bushels, against 114.732.254 last year. Corn exports for tha week aggregate 2,976,836 bushels, against 3,841,411 last week and 1.627.676 last year.
