GRAIN PRICES SLIGHTLY HIGHER Continued Bad Crop Reports Chief Mart Factors. CHICAGO, July 8— Grain prices ad vanced slightly on the board of trade here today, due‘to reports of injury to crops by the continued not dry spell. ’ Provisions were slightly higher.

(By Thomson A McKinnon.^ —July 8— Wheat—Further talk of rust in Cana dian West and strength in cash xvheat at outside markets have xurouraged local believers In higher prices, but it can not be said that there is any increase in the outside interest. Asa mutter of fact, the apathy of tiie Investing public is Ihe chief weakness in the market. Foreign demand reported very slow early in the day. but better inquiry later, accom panied by the statement that offerings from the Southwest were tightening up. Whether this is due to shortage of ears or to holding attitude of the farmer is not as yet diseoverable. Illinois and lowa points are selling in a normal way. Unless new wheat moves more freely from all sections, the market is likely to show firmness, as supplies in hands of millers are small It is not likely that any material improvement in prices will develop unless there be a surprise in the Government report to be issued later today. Coarse Grains- Buying of July corn by larger'cash handlers, thought to be against export sales to Canada, gave the corn market strength. The feeling was help 1 also by the appearance of lend ing interests in the cash market. There has been some buying of oats by North western houses, but ns yet no broadening of trade In either corn or oats. No un favorable crop news on corn has been received. The Government report is not likely to present any motive for higher prices. Provisions Eastern interests were again buyers of lard, but market encoun tered considerable realizing. It Is claimed that a fair export business is being done. The strength lu grains offset heavy tone in hogs. CHICAGO GRAIN. July 8— 'WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close. !
