Interest.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, July 2.
The bears had another day of It in wheat, and
with conditions generally favoring weakness, they
succeeded in driving September thru 74c, and
during the early part of the session held it
there without much trouble. Trading was on a
ranee of 78%@T4e to 73%@73%c and back to
7334C Trade was light. The northwest had
another good wetting down, more important than
any heretofore, for the Teason that the storm
center shifted north and west. Last night rains
began and wer* continuous to this morning, the
storm passing over the Red river valley and
covering the points that to this time have been
dryest n have been sending the most serious re
ports. More long wheat holdings were loosened
and sold out at losses and the bears, some of
whom took the short side around 78c for Sep
tember, -were naturallv hoping to drive the
market off still further. Sufficient new buying
came in, however, to hold the price against se
vere decline. Some traders have figured that
even with the rains the market is low enough for
the present. This is a purely speculative view,
based upon the actions of the important specu
lative markets on the b'g leactionary decline. St.
Louis had been the leading bull market pre
vious to the rise of the di j weather scare in the
northwest. With St. Louis off 7c to lie all
around, it is the opinion that the bear move
there is about over. St. Louis July at 76c looks
different from the same option at 87c. All mar
k ts are don u materially and there Is much shor.
wheat out.
Now that the dry weather has passed as a
bull factor, traders aie again turning their at
tention to statistics bearing upon the northwes
tern old wheat supplv, and some bullish items
are seen Foi one thing there is the continued
ehrlnkaite in Minneapolis terminal stocks, which
show another decrease this week of 400,000 bu,
while in the coiresponding -week last year there
was no decrease, but on the contrary a nominal
gainabout 10.000 bu. Country elevator stocks
on June 1 last were 1,280,000 bu, while to
day's report shows 062,000 bu, or a decrease of
8,17,000 bu during June In June last year coun
try stocks increased 1 $5,000 bu.
St. Louis advised WhaUon that investigation

CHICAGO GBAIN
WHEAT OPENED WEAX, BUT FIRM CABLES
CAUSE RALLY.
Chicago, July 2.Heavy lains in the Red
river valley and the report of the collapse of the
St. Louis pool caused weakness in wheat at the
start, September opening %(% to %@%c low
er, at 75@75%c. There was a fair demand
from commission houses, which, together with
firm cables, caused a steady tone early in the
day, September holding at 75 %c after selling up
to 75%@75%c. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed receipts of 230 cars, which, with local re
ceipts of 22 cars, none of contract grade, made
total receipts for the three points of 252 cars,
against 209 cars last week and 366 cars a year
ago.
Trading was quiet the latter part of the
session and considerable liquidation in view of
the three days shut down marked the closing
hour. After reaching 75%c September declined
to 74%c, and closed at the bottom with a loss
of %@%c.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 2.The Trade Review,
In Its current issue, says: There is a better
feeling in the volume of business placed. The
large rail contracts of last week, the additional
business done by western roads in the past week
and the pending inquiries for rails, amounting
to about 250.000 tons of standard rails and
standard sections, have Inspired confidence in the
continuance of demand from that source on a
liberal scale for another year. Some improve
ment in the prospect for crops, as contained in
reports from along important granger roads, has
also helped to make a good sentiment in the iron
trade.

So far as specifications for the more important
forms of finished material are concerned, large
pioducers report that there has been little if any
difference in the past two months from the rate
Of the preceding months in the present year.
Some mistaken inferences have been made from
the reports of the bookings of Bome of the im
portant steel Interests that have appeared from
time to time. These indicated a full employ
ment of the capacity of the United States Steel
Corporation, for example, until November of this
year, and, allowing for lines in which bookings
were not so far ahead, the inference was that In
other materials the entire output for this year
was taken. Such estimates have been mislead
ing. In some cases they represented estimates
of large consumers, builders of steel cars, for
example, where, as it was well known that speci
fications could not be forced from such buyers
if there requirements "were not up to the level
of the estimates.
That new business is not being placed In the
volume of last year at this time is not as signifi
cant as has been considered in some estimates.
Consumption continues very heavy, the particular
change that has come over the trade Is that buy
ers are relieved of the necessity of looking so
far ahead in arranging for their supplies.
So far as foundry iron is concerned, the situ
ation Is not changed except for some further set
tling in prices. Buyers and sellers alike are
hunting for a level on which business can be done
freely, but have not found it and may not for
Mime weeks. v-sKS* J
