THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Failure of the Bulls to Sustain Any A © vance in Wheat, TRADING AT LOWER PRICES. A Better Demand For Corn at Higher Prices—Oats Also Appreciate in Value, But Lightly Traded In, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Curcaco, July 13, —[Special Telegram to the Bek. |—The situation in brief to-day was corn and oats selling athigher prices because they are regarded as cheap—too cheap at the present figures—and wheat selling down, ot because it is not too cheap, but because there is too mnch of it, and because it is partly of a questionable quality. ‘There were not outside advices to greatly effect grains in any way. ‘The lines are pretty well de- fined between the bulls and bears, and the fight from now on promises to be on the merits of the stuff traded in, The failure of the bulls to sustain any advance on wheat thus far this week, although it took two or three little spurts, left the market to the bears to-day. Prices at the opening were steady for leading futures and Xc under for October and December. The volume of trad- ing during the early part of Jthe day was per- haps greater than on yesterday, but at lower prices, August sold from 729 ¢ down to 71%c, then up to i2gc and later steadied about the 72 poiut. September followed on an exactly similar line, beginning at T4, selling at 78%c and steadying at e, October opened b4e under the close of ‘L'uesday, sold as low as !{c, and became firm at 75!ge. Decemoer sold between T8’c and 7, with T8}e for a resting place. Corn opened steady and was in good specu- lative demand without any appareut reason beyond the limitea amount in store and the belief that August corn is plenty cheav at Soc. A gradual advance in prices set in early. While wheat dropped }4e corn sold up in all futures. The fact that corn independently moved up several points set the erowd talk- ing and there were predictions that 1t would climb to the point held in June—near dc. July sold from 85%e to 85%c, August from S0c to 30}¢c, September from 37 to 87i¢c, clos- ing at 55 dge. October closed at di%e and ““}’ at 39'4c. Oats were traded In sparingly, but at better prices. ‘The feature of the market was the Relling of July at ice premium over AUgust, Oats acted in apparent sympathy with corn, and while the increase in price was small, it occurred on persistent buying by those who {iougnt wrath cheap at the “present. prices. July sold from 25!{c to 26¢ and August from 253%c to 29¢e. May sold from 30ke to 503, hort ribs were active, but an unsettled feeling prevailed. ‘Ihe impression was that trade in all articles of provisions would im- prove in the near future and that the dullest season hias passed. ‘The good consumptive demand 15 having its effect and the s were anxious to cover and everybody appar- ently wanted to get afew short ribs. 'The competiticn among buyers was briak, and the offerings being Ilihl. prices advanced 30 @she. Armour sold on the bulge and a re- action of 25¢ followed, but the mark steady and 12igc higher than yesterday. Angunt onened at $5.021¢, sold to $8.333, but closed at $3.07 January sold at $6.00 6,10, Lard “was quiet but steadier at $0.5715@0.65, but closed at 80, ..5‘, with Novembar at £6.60.

The large traders —~White, Cammack, Durand and Bateman—are absent from the city and do not think the market worth bothering adout. The weak holders who have tailed on to the Baltimore & Ohio deal, have becowe discourazed at the failure of the lves and Staynor party to carry out thelr {ntention, and the result was painfully visi- ble in the manner in which stogks declined. Reading had the lead and broke 13¢ points, Lackawanna 1 point. The Gransers and trunk lines wero also heavy and dropped 3(@! pont. ‘The selling of the above stocks brought out others, and the market was well filled all the morning. The short interost 'was largely increased, but the fact that the bulls were completely deworalized while the beara were oncouraged by thelr recent suc- cess and showed a bold front, made it un- comfortably warm for the weak holders, ‘I'he Baltimoro & Ohlo deal isin every trader's mouth and 18 the chief topic of couversation, Gould is master of the situation, as Ives and Stayuor are unable to carry the deal through without Gould’'s assistance. Thay offered the Baltimore & Oblo telegraph for $3,500,~ 000, but he cousidered the sum too large, and A8 Lves was unable to show satisfactory au- thority to transter the property, aud until he can do 5o, there i8 no probability of anything cowing out of the negotiations, Gould, in an interview, sald that he found that most of the Western Unlon directors were not in- clined to buy opposition lines at any price, and added; “l1do notthink we shal! lose anything by waiting & while before we buy out opposition lines, Iam satistied we can get them whenever we please.”” ‘T'he failure of the Baltimore & Ohio deal caused a col- Iapse in Cincinuati, Hamilton & Dayton, in 152, but to-day offers were made at 110, with 75 the best bid. 1 when asked to explain the cause ot the drop, remarked that he had pothing to ¥ay, sud added: “If the people wish to sell the stork they ean do it The slump in Cincinnatl, Hamilton & Dayton ereated the impression that the rising young financlers had more on their backs than they could carry, and were at the tender mercles of the bears, The conditions of affairs noted above were not at all favorable to higher prices, und the last hour witnessed free sell- ing along the general 1ist, and further de- clines of '4@3% per cent were recorded. A slight rally occurred on a few stocks, but the majority closed at inside I|xure~4 and estab- lished net declines of ;@2 points, Union Pacific showing the greatest loss. ‘The total sales were 278,281 shares, against 86,500 shares sterday, GOVERNMENTS—Government bonds were dull but steady. t oo Central Pacifi 0 Chicago & Alton. 150 |Paciic Maii.. do preferred....160 |1, 0., Bl & 18 DuimanPal GaE; m L0 Reading, Rock Island ~x St. L. &S, F) .
