Oats shtw a loss of %@'%c and provisions a shade to "He. • '.-• Steady cables and a big decrease In Argentine shipments caused a fair degree of firmness in wheat at the start. Opening quotations tor July were unchanged to He higber at MVitf S4*ic. The: market .soon lost Its initial strength, however, on selling by pit trailers ani commission houtes. The greater part of thf trading was In the Septtmber delivery. Offerings were much in excess of the demand and as a result prices started downward. The' cliler cause of the early selling was excellent weather conditions throughout the greater part of the country. There were also numerous bearish crop reports. Canadian dinpatches as serted that crops had made fine progress dur ing the past week and that the acreage w.ll be 9\4 per cent more than for 1003.- Equally bearish news regarding spring wheat In Min nesota and the Dakotas was ' received from Minneapolis, reports from a thousand inquiries sent out from that city showing a somewhat larger acreage than last year. In connection with harvecting operation* in the Southwest a St. Louis trade paper claimed that Indica tions point to a satisfactory yield with quality generally good. Talk about new 'wheat com ing on the market was played to advantage a* a bear card. The weakness of the Sep tember and December options at Mlnnsapolls also had a depressing influence on the market hen* late In the day. *A fair recovery . was made In July during the last half hour on covering' by shorts. . After selling down to S-'%©KJ?*c that delivery closed at S4&S41&C. September ranged between 70^e79V4c and ?'J~,*c, closing at 7SH4t?79ttc.- * Sentiment in the corn market early In the day was somewhat unsettled, but as the ces rlon advanced the tone became quite ; weak as a result of heavy selling of July by a prom inent commission houte. July opened a shade to JSc lower at 4S^,©4$\c. sold between 4Sc and 49<! and closed at 48-Hc. . • ••¦ Oatg w*re affected by the weakness of corn and by an official . report- showing increased acreage in Canada. - After opening ?ie lower at 30 Vc July sold between 3>%c and 3VHC, closing at 36*4??3S%c. . In provisions there was enough realizing by lecal longs to cause a reaction and a change frum- strength to comparative weakness. Small receipts of liogs and firm prices at the yards were early bull far-tors. The market closed near the bottom, with September pork down 5<g7Hc at $12 &0612 82%; lard was off 2^c at $0 07 H. and ribs closed a shade lower at $7 45. ; - The leading futures. ranged as follows: Articles-— Open.
