Show NERVOUSNESS MARKS DEALINGS! GRAIN Wheat Prices in - Chicago Are Weak on Reports From Outside. CHICAGO. .Tune 22. Assertions that Canada, Australia, India and Argentina have now on hand more than sufficient wheat to supply British demands for twelve months had a depressing influence today oh prices here. The market closed nervous at the same as yesterday's finish fin-ish to He lower, with July $1.02 and September at $1.05 Vs. Corn declined a shade to fgc net, the outcome in oats varied from snVzc off to He up, and in provisions there were losses of 7c to lot:. From start to finish bear news from Liverpool tended to prevent any important impor-tant development of strength in wheat. In this connection particular stress was laid on an estimate that at least 2i,OCK,000 bushels was at present available avail-able in Canada, Australia. India and Argentina, Ar-gentina, and that a sharp decline in ocean freights from the southern hemisphere was not at all unlikely. It was contended that, wholly exclusive of the "United States, such an ' abnormally large total would leave a considerable' surplus for importing im-porting countries other than Creat Britain, while new crops were gradually coming nearer. Good progress reported in the domestic harvest legions southwest acted throughout the day as a further handicap on the bulls. Complaints of too much rain northwest and of lateness of the spring wheat crop led to several upturns in values, but to none that proved to be of a lasting sort. Denials were made that the Hudson Bay company had purchased 5,000,000 bushels within a week. Instead, It was authoritatively authori-tatively announced that the amount was only 1,000,000 bushels and that during the interval receipts at Winnipeg1 alone were more than 6,000,000 bushels. Corn finally sagged with wheat. At first, however, traders were afraid of the unsettled weather and were not pressing sales. For the most part, oats were gov-, erned by the action of corn. Crop reports, re-ports, though, which have been almost uniformly favorable of late, had a somewhat some-what less encouraging aspect today, mention men-tion being made of rust in southwestern Iowa and in the district around Peoria. Provisions lacked support. One of the reasons was the heavy deliveries of lard on June contracts. It was said the deliveries de-liveries aggregated 2,000,000 pounds. CLOSE OP THE LEADING FUTURES.
