THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Opens Strong and Higher, But Saf- fers a Decline, MISLEADING CROP FIGURES. Light Business Transacted in Corn and Values Weaken a Trifle— Oats Quiet and I'eaturcless —General Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CnicAGo, July 11.—(Special Telegram to the BEk.|—The wheat market opened strong and higher to-day, remained firm for a time, then weakened, and closed at about the lowest range of the day. The fluctuations 'n prices were within ¥@!4c limits and trade was at no time very active. The early strength was due to the crop damage reports from the northwest, and the later weakness ‘was attributed to the development of the be- lief that the damage was not so bad as had been represented, and that at the worst the Increased acreage would about offset the re- duced produetion per acre. Thegovernment estimates of spring wheat are 5o notoriously wrong that they haye ceased to mislead men in trade, but as the ‘‘official figures” are all that the public has to o by, more or less confusion as to the facts must neces- sarily exist. The government bureau is doubtless correctly informed as to the relative condition of the crop as compared with pre- vious years, but its total yields are ridicu- lously out of the way. If the worst that has been tola of the crop in Minnesota and Da- Kota'proves true, the actual yield should not be below the government report of the yield last year, which was not less than 25,000,000 bushels wide of the mark. But enough of this. The reports of real damage done are becoming more conflicting every day, while harvest returns from the western and south- western wheat fields are getting more jug- handled. The reports of damage seemn to be contined to Kansas in the west and Mary- land, Pennsylvania and Virginia in the east. Theovening trades in August were 73%c. 'The highest voint attained was 73}4c and the lowest 72}¢@73¢, which was also the close. September opened at i @iske, ranged 753%c high, and T4¥%@ise low and closed. October ranged 76}4@76)c and closed at the bottom. Corn opened pretty firm in the speculative market, but weakened on encouraging re- ports from all parts of the west regarding crop vrospects. Free selling by Hutchinson (rllle disposition on the part of the crowd m discount the lnn futures also helped w0 weaken values, delive this side of ectober closed 4@ sc lower than on Satur- day. Justa fair q{uegns amount of busi- ness was transaci ed and the flucmntluns were not violent, ¥c covering all of the changes. Seller August ranged from 36ic at the ovening down to 361{c, which was the market at the close, July rested at 353gc, September at 874c, October at 37igc, and May at 30%c. Oats were quiet and without teature, Cash and July ruled steady at about Saturday’s l]llullllulls. while August and Septem! ! closed Jgc easier at 25%c and 26!{c res) tively. “Sellor May ruléd irm and” close c. n the provision ];lt the lnt('re'al developed was confined larzely to short ribs, In this article the reputed leaders of the long inter- est made an open showing of their strength early, and before the day was very far ad- vanced they succeeded in forcing prices up 17i5e. The later portion of this improvement was lost, though at the close the market stood fully 1%@12¢c higher than on Saturday. Aside from the movement in short ribs, which were not unly advanced but also quite active, the duy’s trade was uninteresting. Lard received, if anything, less attention and ruled with'an easier tendency, averaging 2lg¢ lower at the close. In pork he unl{ sale made was one round lot for the year del lvury at $11.25. Cash vork was quoted at § ln lard and short ribs the active futures wn-rn ust and September. The short rib deal mfi a8 yet to command confidence, and on the upward turu to-day the purchases of the managers were larger than their sales. Th Peum. however, were cautious and conserva- ive. —_— CHICAGO LIVE STOCUK. CHicAGO, July 11.—[Special Telegram to the BrE.|—CATTLE—Trade was fairly active, with little or no change in values as compared with theclose of last week, on nice handy and good light steers.

London was reported dull and consols lower. Rus- slan securities in London were weak and 2 per cent due, a scare article in the Berlin press depreclating the investment in Rus- sian securities in London, The weakness in London, however, had little effect, as the short Interest was largely increased during the closing days of last week, and overators were disposed to cover. The feellng was nervous and the least bullish symptoms scared the bears into buylng. Gould's brokers bought Missourl Pacifio and West- ern Union, and later sold the latter on the quiet, Their buying produced a better feel- Ing, and advances of X @4 per cent were re- corded on a few active stocks, while the re- mainder were -quiet and barely steady. It ‘was said that the goverament wounld adver- ise to purchase bonds within ten days, This, in connection with the good showing made by the banks, created the impression that still lower rates for money would soon be In order. These points, in connection with the fact that the general business of the country Is healthy and earnings continug to Increase, made strong bulls wore active, but as the market was nothing but a traders’ one, the advance was due almost entirely to the shorts covering. The bulls were disap- pointed, and about midday weakness set in and the early advance was lost. The Balti- more & Ohio deal s still attracting atten- tion, Its present condition is not as favora- blo as expected. Garrett has practically no- titied lves and Staynor that he is dissatistied with the manner in which they have com- plied with the terms of their contract and that unless they meet thelr engagements properly the negotiations will be at an end. In the negotiations betwecn Gould, Ives and Staynor over the Baltincre and Ohio tele- graph line there is a difference of $500,000, but the latter have coneeded that, and Gould can take possession if be desires. It is said that the deal will be finished this week. Mest of the loans obtained by lves and Staynor were indirectly secured with Mr. Gould’s ald, and the imoression is that the Iatter is running the deal and the others ure merely figure-heads. The only sensational feature in the market was the change from 52 to 48! in Wheeling & Lake Erie, due to the rumor that £3,500,000 of new stock was about to be issued. A rally to 49 followed, but the last sale was at 44>¢, 'The final trad- ing in the active list was light, and although plenty of stocks were offcred, the market closed steady and 's@?% per cent higher than Saturday on all stocks except Lake Shore, Lackawanna and Union Pacific, which de- clined % per cent. ‘Irade with Chicago houses was light and of no importance. ‘The total sules were 140,085 shares.
