CHICAGO MARKET WEAKENS Spring Wheat in Minnesota and Dakotas May Not Be Seriously Hurt Peace Talk From Eu rope Also Is Factor. CHICAGO, July 14. Wheat showed a downward tendency most of the time today, influenced largely by cooler weather. in the Northwest, a condition likely to retard black rust. Prices closed heavy, lq to lTto net lower, with July $1.08 H and September $1.10. Com finished 4 to lo down, oats hi & hie off to hio up, and provisions at 5c to 15c decline. Opinions of crop experts) that if the weather continued favorable the condition of wheat in the Dakitas and Minnesota would not be seriously harmed by black rust' gave the bears a decided advantage at the start. Considerable selling pressure was also Induced by London and Petrorrad dispatches referring to the possibility of a separate peace with Austria. Despite assertions that cases nave been discovered in which the rust was attacking the stalks, buying orders failed to assume impressive proportions. Advances in ocean freight rates counted against the bulls in the late trading. Corn weakened with wheat. Rains in sections where there had been complaints of dryness tended further to ease the market. Ooats were relatively firm. Provisions sagged as m. result of lower prices on hogs Even after the descent ag. gresslve support was lacking. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low.x Close.

REBOUND IN STOCKS Numerous Gains Recorded in Final Prices. COVERING ASSISTS RALLY Early Trading Marked by Acute ' Weakness In War Shares Iarge Cn&li Gain by' Xew York Banks Is Indicated. NEW YORK, July" 14. Extreme depression In the forenoon, when numerous specialties dropped to the lowest prices of recent months, and a rebound In the afternoon con stituted the contrasting features of today's feverish market. In keeping with the movement of the early week, weakness was most acute in the war Issues, together with coppers. United States Industrial Alcohol and Mexican Pe troleum. Losses In Crucible and Lackawanna Steels. American and Baldwin Locomotives, New York Airbrake. Inspiration and "Ten nessee CoDoers and Alcohol ranged from 1 to 4 points, but United States Steel at no time fell more than a fraction and as among the first to recover. Canadian Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Val ley and Norfolk 6c Western furnished the fcasis 'ef forenoon pessimism, with recessions of 1 to Ihi points, but the tree absorption of Reading in the final hour helped to turn tne scale. Shipping stocks were heavy on light offer, tngs. but oame forward with rails later. Final prices recorded numerous gains. Covering was a factor of no smslt impor tance toward the adjustment of quoted values. Total sales of stocks amounted to 670.000 shares. The only noteworthy feature of the foreign exchange market was the slight hardening of rates on Berlin and Rome, with no appre ciable alteration In sterling or francs. Forecasts indicate a large cash gain for the week by clearing-house banks, which suffered a drain of about $53,000,000.
