July wheat being be-ing down 11c; corn Is off 11c; oats ahow a loss of lc, and provisions. 17ff22c Predictions of favorablo weather caused a bearish sentiment In tho wheat pit at tho opening. Tho July delivery was '4 to V4ffc lower at S7ffS7c. For a tlmo tho market held around tho opening figures, but lack of any strong support soon began to bo felt, and prices started downward. The fact that foreign grain markets woro closed today tended to restrict tho valumo of trading, as did tho approaching approach-ing holiday here tomorrow. Tho ahsonco oof tho usual activity In the pit In Itself was a depressing Influence. Weakness In all cash grains after the rocent strength took any remaining enthusiasm out of tho bulla and caused considerable liquidation liqui-dation of long wheat. Tho decline In Northwestern markets was another olemcnt In tho situation that encouraged aollera. Pit traders hammered ham-mered tho market porslstently throughout tho day. notwithstanding tho moderately bulllah crop reporta from Missouri and Ohio.

Tho early corn market was steady on a moderate commission house demand, but toward tho noon hour a selling movement set In that caused a severe break.

Local rccolpts woro 178 cars, 31 of contract grade. Tho oats mnrket wan subjected to a raid early In the session, henvy selling of the May option by pit traders and commission com-mission houses causing much weakness.

Local receipts were 153 cars. Provisions were weak under tho Influence In-fluence of liberal selling by pnekers.
