GRAIN AND PROVISIONS Features of the Trading and Closing ... Prices on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, June 4. Sprinkles of rain today at scattered points In Nebraska and Kansas disturbed to some extent the confidence - of wheat bulls who have been acting on reports of severe crop damage, the result of heat and drought. In consequence.' the market although closing with a net gain of 54 to w'ba had a rather weak tone. Corn wound up at an advance of Vi to &lo and oats dearer by H to lfto. Provisions were ' 7 to 12tte down. News or moisture in the west came after prices had advanced nearly a cent on statements that throughout western Nebraska and parts of Kansas, the crop was doomed. On the arrival of news of showers, the larger interests that had bought freely concluded to take profits. Accordingly the market secured a re action. September, In which the bulk of trading was done, ranged from $1.64 to tl.wtd1.07, with last sales, W!ic up at $1.0SH. Corn scored a good advance on im proved' calls, lighter offerings and be cause the largest short in the pit was the;., most., persistent buyer. Illinois re ports mentioned much replanting due to poor germination and to cut worms. July fluctuated from T2fyc to 74c, closing firm. lSi'-ic net higher at 74c. Cash grades were stronger. Number 2 yellow, ;&Vij74c. ' Sales of more than l.&OO.OOO bushels from the stock here acted as a stimulus : for holders of oats, July ranged between 4!H4&0c 'With the close at 60Hc a net gain of le. Free selling by packers depressed the provisions market. Most of the unloading was in lard and ribs, but the resulting decline of 7ftc to 1210 Included pork as well.

There are tno slums here, properly speaking. Outside of a few squares in the lower part of the city, now rapidly giving way to a .new manufacturing and Jobbing district,- thei'i; is no section that anyone would think of calling slums. From one end of the city to the other, the home of the working; man is neat, substantial and homelike; the hone of the clerk, artisan and small tradesman beautiful and modernly Improved, though unpretentious, and the residence of tl successful large merchant, manufacturer and irofessional man handsome and im posing.

The first few hours of trading passed without any business of consequence being, re-, ported.- At 10 o'clock the big bulk -of of ferings still remained in first hands and prospects of a complete clearance before midday were rather doubtful. , The supply consisted largely of shorn lambs, and quality on an average was not very attractive. Aside from one or . two standard strings, most of the receipts were mixed, the proportion . of "tripe", proving relatively large. This phase' of the run doubtless acted as an effective check upon the demand, but- the fact that the eastern consumptive demand has nar- t the main reason for cautious buying at present.' Various sales made this morn ing indicated a .list of values about 10 15e lower. - ' Sheep trade held a very modest supply of ewes and wethers, the -same as re. cently, and the, feeder market was also barren. . Nothing whatever sold on coun try: account yesterday, and last week's actual purchase was limited to less than a half dozen loads.
