A rfvrrMi of yester day's wfiktifM wss manifested In the wheat pit today and price had a stron Upward tendency, July Hosing Vn7iic higher. July coin waa up o, with oais V(lc higher, while provlslona were un changed to U'iiro: lower. There wag a good trade In wheat and the principal featuie In the situation waa the absence of selling by the chief long, who It la SB Id, about cleaned out his line of July yesterday when he disposed of some thing like 7,0,0iiU bushels. Opening prtrea were firm on comparatively steady chIiIps, Liverpool being off only a trifle, notwith standing the severe break here yesterday, and July was a shade to 'Vi''tc higher, at 7lV71',c. Selling by scalpers on the Im proved weather conditions resulted In an asler tone soon after the opening and July old off to TlVtc. but a good scattered de mand from commission houses soon brought shout a rally. There were re newed reports of damage from the chinch bug to the growing crop In the southwest and this together with the strength at Minneapolis added Impetus to the upward movement of prices, as did active covering bv shorts, and prices continued to Improve, the closing figures being at the top notch of the day. July closed t'SV! higher at TVie. nnd May waa 1c higher at 7Sc. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 397.W4) bu. Primary receipts were Jo7, frK bu., against 24K.2no bu. a year ago. Exports of wheat and flour for the week as shown by Bradstreet's were equal to 8.202. CO bu. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 81 cars, with local receipts of 14 cars, two of contract grade, made total receipts for the two points of 115 cars, against 105 cara laat week and 04 cars a year ago. Corn was strong together with part of the dav. but the volume of trading was rather "light. Offerings were small earlv in the session, but little liquidation set In dur ing the latter half which resulted In a sllphtly easier tone, hut the market soon rallied again. Firm cables, a fair cash de mand combined with reports confirming the lateness of the crop were the chief bull factors. After selling between 44H' 44". and 4c, Julv closed Ar higher at 4Cfcc. Local receipts were 228 cars, ten of contract grade. The strength In wheat was a strengthen ing Influence In oata. but the main support came from shorts who covered sales made vesterdn.y. There was fair trade through out the day, the May option being espe cially active and strong. Receipts were smnll. but showed some Improvement In rradlng. Closing prices were Arm, with Julv V.c higher at 32U,ffi32i,4e. after rang ing between 31Te and 82Vc. Local receipt were 118 cars. . . . Trading In provisions was rather quiet With offerings about equal to the demand. Opening prices were steady on the hog situation and buying bv the packers caused a little better feeling, but the advance was not maintained, the close being easier, with July pork unchanged, nt 117.15. July lard whs off 12n.re at $9.00, and ribs were down 2Hc at 19 35. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 5 cars; corn, 2fi0 cars; oats, 125 cars; hogs, l?nno he.id.

May i The stock market continued the desultory decline which de veloped yesterday and which was without special explanation beyond the disposition of the professional traders to sell stocks. The sharp rally, at the close In some stocks Indicated that the selling had been partly for short account. Another professional party, when they perceived that the shorts were attempting to cover endeavored to mark up prices upon them. This seemed to De tne motive for tne rapid advance 01 34 In National Railroad of Mexico preferred, which was without explanation. Amalga mated Copper and United States Ruboer stocks went upward at the last and there was a sudden recovery In Delaware A Hud son. The hardening In the market brought some prices slightly above last night and reduced the net changes In all cases to small proportiont. The heavy tone of the market In the early part of the day waa partly due o the sympathetic effect of the relapse of 24 In St. Louis Si San Francisco and the weakness of Rock Island In the face of reiterated assertions that the amal gamation of the companies had been com pleted. Tho weakness of the stocks might be variously attributed to the failure of the expected official announcement of the deal, to disappointment over Its alleged terms, to profit-taking on the completion of the deal or to aurvivtng doubt whether the project would be completed at all. The Wall street public has been much bewil dered oer all the successive developments In this matter. Some of the Independent Iron and steel stocks were weak, supported on the soft tone of pig Iron market. Ameri can Grass Twine was offered down from 15, yesterday a price, to 12 before finding a pur chaser, owing to the reports of the con fused state of the company s accounts. Denver Southwestern preferred sold at 10. This stock has never been dealt In ac tively, and recent sales of small lots have been made at today's price, but the last grevious pole of a run share lot on the took exchange, which Is the basis of the official quotation, waa at 60. There was also a sale of United States Shipbuilding at z, whereas the recent quotstlons have ruled at 2 bid and 10 asked. The Indication In these violent declines among dormant stocks of the unmarketable condition of some securities in the market had a bad effect on sentiment. There was some ground for supppslng that the transactions were forced for this purpose. The foreign exchange market continued very strong ow ing to the continued demand ror money in London In connection with the Transvaal loan subscription, and It Is believed that some gold may go from here to London di rect next week. The movement of cash In favor of New York on ba'ance during the week seems to have been nearly 83,000,000, which Is rather less than the recent aver age, aa was Indicated by the weakness of New York exchange during the week at some of the Interior pointa. The large re mittances abroad are believed to fore shadow another large loan Increase by the banka. It Is possible that some syndicate transactions may also figure in this item. The market closed firm at the rally, but very dull. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. 81.450,000. United States 3s, coupon, declined 4 on the last call.

At the start packers took hold quite freely and a good many r-.ders were calling the market steady to strong. The hogs, though, were a good deal heavier today than they were yester isy, which helped out the appearance of the market on paper to quite an extent. Toward the close, though, packers seemed to have thHr more urgent orders filled, so that the last end of the market waa slow and suk.

Tradera fill agreed, however, that good stuff can safely be quoted higher for the week, the advance being quoted at generally lb'ff'Xc. As com pared with the low time the market is 60S 76c higher and in some cases the ad vance has been even greater. The common kinds have Improved to some extent, hut the advance has not been as great as on the belter grades. The few feeders that have arrived hare hn rather alow sale and very little Change In the prices paid Is noticeable.
