July ranged between 4Sc and 5151c and closed at 49c, with a net loss of lc. Local receipts wcro 112 cars, nine of contract grade. The featuro In trading In oats wan heavy liquidation credited to tho principal long. Tho closo was barely steady and near tho low point of the day. May opened o hlghor, at 42c. After selling down to 40 40c, tho closo was at 40c. July ranged betwoon 3So and 33c, and closed with a net loss of c, at 38c Local receipts wcro 185 cars. Tho break In corn prices brought out llboral profit-taking In provisions. As a result of the selling, which wa8 mainly by small holders, tho market ruled easier and slight losses were made throughout tho entire list. Tho early tone was firm in sympathy with higher prices at the yards, but tho market lacked any marked support, and prices gradually yielded to tho weakness In grains. Tho close wa9 steady, with May pork lOo lowor. at $13.77; May lard closed 2c lower, at $7,30, und ribs wero also down 2c, at $7.15, Estimated recoipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 30 cars; corn. 180 cars; oats, 225 cars; hogs, 27.000 head.
