ABSENCE OF EXPORT BROKE WHEAT IlnmoM of Until HIiltimeiiH siml l.luernl Short Helling Factors In the O r' Trade Hot IVInilt tn Nebraska I'ulse. CHICAGO , July 17. The wheat and corn /nnrkcta todny opened stronR nnd closed weak. Compared with the Until quotations of tlio day before wheat Is ic , corn % c nnd oatH Ho lower. Provisions were moderately active nnd lower. The brcnk In wheat was the result of the absence of export demand , rumors of gold shipments and liberal Bhort selllnR. The trade In wheat was of the same local pcalp- Ing character as was reported of It yester day. Orders from outside were as scarce as good crop reports. The crop conditions Influenced the first transactions. After thai Bhort sellers became the governing Influence and sat severely down upon the spirits ol those who might otherwise have been buyIng - Ing wheat. To odd to the troubles of th < spring wheat , the weather bureau reported light frost probub'.o In Minnesota tonight. The receipts were much lighter than at the corresponding slme a year ago. The New Tork people are becoming Impressed by the Inferiority of this Reason's winter wheat nnd are buying'old No , 2 red In Chicago , whlcli will bo shipped In duo course to help brine up the average they expect to have tc linndlc from this season's crop. They nr < buying tbo cash grain here at a discount ol IVic per bu. under the price of the Scptem bcr future nnd selling the latter tignlnsi their purchases of the snot grain. Receipts nt Minneapolis and Dii.uth wrre 121 cars compared with 23C carloads on the corrc spending day of the year before. Chlcagt received forty-five ears , forty-two of then being new and only six oars of the latter Ir pprlng contract. The exports from the At lantlc seaboard were again disappointing ! ; light , amounting to only -18,1)00 ) bu. , of whlcl 19,000 bbls. worn flour , from the four prlncl pal Atlantic ports. I lverpool nnd contl ncntal markets Improved somewhat , prob ably due to yesterday's firmness here. Sep tember opened unchanged nt fXc , and nfte a bulge to CS'io ' dropped Ic , nnd hunp nbou from C7'/iC to f 7' , c during the latter part o the session. In the absence of any order : from the outsldu the local short sellers wen able to supply nil their neighbors win wanted to buy. There wns some shor wheat nftcr the orders had nil been filed ur That was the cnuse for the weakness In th < end. September , after selling at CSc , de dined nnd clowd nt C7Uc. The corn pit was divided In opinion 01 the reported damage from hot winds In Ne braska nnd Kansas. Early In the sessloi the dnmnge wns apparently taken seriously but later on It received very little credence Frost wns nn Item In the Influence befor noon , which caused May to jump ytc. Th drcllne In the prleo of wheat near the clos was adversely affecting corn nt the snm time. The lowest prices of the day wer prevailing between the last morning bel nnd the final closing slgnnl. The rnngp li September was from 40V4c down to 4VJc with WKC the prevailing price nt the closi In May the range wns from 38llc to 37 nnd the closing price 37'.4c. Receipts today 109 cars. In oats the business was only of nn ordl nary character. The tendency of the specu latlvc market was toward easiness nnd lowe values were found , although In the earl part of the session n slight advance wn scored. Fluctuations were ruled prlnclpnll by wheat and corn. September opened a 23Uc , sold up to 234c , down to 22c , nn closed nt from 23c to 23' , c. Provisions opened firm nnd n trifle hlghei In sympathy with the early strength I wheat and corn. The.y became weak , re vlved nsnln nnd finally closed nt n sllgh decline In pork nnd lard , but n trifle hlghe for ribs. The closing price of Septembe pork wns { 10.70 , against $10.8. on the da before. Lard Is now J0.30 , against JB.321ye - terdny , nnd September ribs are JC.l7' ngnlnst $ .12V4 nnd JC.15 yesterday.

CATTLE There was u fair run of cattle again today , sixty-eight loads being rcporteJ In the yards , UH against sixty-eight yester day und forty-seven loads on Wednesday of last week. The market , like yesterday , was bare of beef steers , there being very few head on sale good enough for killers. The few that were here weie not very desirable for the dressed beef trade , and there wua very little upon which to base an estimate of the market. The prices paid for whut there was here were nbout steady , there being no material change from yesterday. Cows nnd heifers were In liberal supply , and the bulk of the trading was In that class of cuttle. The most desirable of the offerings sold readily at ubout steady prices , but the maiket was a little easier on the medium stuff. As u whole , the market wns fairly active and the offerings were cleaned up In pretty good season. There was a good showing of stockers and feeders In the yards and there was a good speculative demand. Desirable cattle of this description sold freely at fu'.ly steady prices. The continued favorable outlook for the corn crop Is causing an Improvement In the demand for stockers nnd feeders. Yesterday thirty-four cars were shipped out Into the country.

As lius Ix-cn ihe case for several days Chicago packers weie holding back , their purchases belnn largely confined lo hogs Intended for the fie h meat trade.

The cnllle averaged 1,342 Ibs. , nnd , while a well bied lot of beeves , they were not ns fat nor us hard as the Montana cnltlc that are to follow them will be. Abundant rains made the grass rank , and , while the caltle on the innge fattened rapidly Ihls year , the early shipments lire bound to be a lltlle git-en. This was n good , big price for these caltle , however , nnd will doubtless Induce lots more of the Montana stockmen to ship their cattle heie.
