Compared with last July wheat shows a less of c. Corn is up $c. Qata are oft lQiic and provisions 24W'10c. A fair degree of tlrmness was displayed at tho opening ln wheal, tho July delivery bolng up a shade to J,Vcc at 86 to SGc. The market still felt tho effects of yesterday's yes-terday's oxtremcly bullish crop reports, but the main elomcnt of strength was undoubtedly un-doubtedly heavy rains in tho Red River valley, which would delay Btlll longer tho already backward socdlng operations. On tho small Initial advanco local longs took profits, and In consequence tho market developed de-veloped an easier tone. There wore plentiful plen-tiful rains throughout the winter wheat country, tho effect of which was to cn-courago cn-courago sales for short account. Prices held about steady until late In tho seeslon. when roncwod profit tailing carried July down to S5c. Shorts covered qulto freely free-ly on expectations of a bullish Government Govern-ment crop report on Tuesday. As a result part of tho loss was regulncd. Tho market closed steady with July at Clearances Clear-ances of wheat and flour were equal to 19S.500 bushels. Primary receipts were 170,000 bushels compared with 237,200 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 125 cars, agnlnst 104 cars last week and 178 a year ago. Tho easier tone ln the wheat market had a depressing effect on corn prices, but there was sufficient aupport from pit traders trad-ers to prevent any loss. The close was steady with prices at about the beet figures of tho day. July oponed unchanged un-changed to a 3hndo higher at 4S to 19lp 4Sc, sold between 4S and 4Svic. closing at the top. Local receipts wero 201 cars, with fourteen of contract grado. Selling of the July option by pit tradorn, under tho leadership of a prominent long caused a small dccllno In oats.
