M.iy UUP bid up to tl on iiimors of Inr u
tiiKaRctnuiiti of wheat for shipments to
Lisbon nnd si talk of a reduction of the
1'ortuqal Krnln duty. The bullish fooling
was rpitly Increased by mi lntur\lcw ru-
( .xidliiK the Kuroioui | situation by a prom
inent ChkMKO trailer who has been tr.i\el-
In through Kuropc , In which ho confirms 1
the reports of almost unpruocdcntly sm.ill
Mocks , and Bild that Curope IAus dericndunt
on the United States for Its supnlles. Open-
IIIK iprlces for Jlay wheat r.iiiRiMl from sn lc
to tl , compared with yesterday's price of
SSSSlSU'bi' Thno w.lH a perfect rush of
shorts for cover at onre but as wai the
i'isoyosterdu > . almost no whe.it was olteipl
for sale. Ins'do of llftrpn minutes bids had
been raised to (1 Ol'/i. This was above call
pilco and for the first time , wheat came on
the market In considerable iU unities ,
miHtly olforln s iiKulnst the e prlvllcRes.
Though I'VoiythliiR offoreil w is taken , prices
Kiir cil off to | 100'4 arid the excitement ,
which hail bi-i'ii Intense , died down to a cer
tain extent. It was evident thf- trade \wi
thoroughly alarmed over the apparently un-
Bhlikable hold Joseph Lelter Ijas on May
w u-at and an olllcl.il announeenent thnt he
has contincted for the mo\liip Of 1WX,0 0 bu.
of his wheat to the scaboird. with the
promised movement of a.OOO.pW bu. more ,
soivcd to Increase the anxiety of shorts to
Ket out. Thlp In fact seemed to bo the only
factor In tr.nllnp. Apparently no attention
v.is pUd to the nowj of the blowing up of
the battleship Maine and the usuil news
was colorless. Liverpool < tis , 1 | iJ\d higher
at the close. Northwest receipts were 230
firs , uwalnst "GS a week ago and Iff ) list
> ear. Chicago receipts weie W cars. 10 of
which graded contract The day's cleir-
J. unecB from Atlantic ports amounted to XA-
Ox ) bu For ome tlmo the market tluc-
tuato 1 nervou'ly on a narrow amount of
. trading , but about noon It commenced to
advance again and on this inlvinte out-
J.i H'llcrs mailo tltt-lr Inlluence felt Traders
who have been heavy sellers lure against
purchases In New York a ere fou-d to "un-
stiaddle. " Northwest shorts also c ime Into
the market and helped make tiling ? Interest
ing. About ha f an hour from the clo'O
i July , which for some time p ist has been
compartlvely neglected. Jumped Into Midden
activity. It had been previous ! } lagging at
around SOfte. but hetiv } buying sent prices
lljlng. Most of the July offered w is taken
by the. Loiter brokers. At the close July
hart advanced to " ) Vic. May In the mean
time liad been bid up to Jl.OTM and was
bilnglng tl.OT4 as the closing bell sounded
On the curb aftir the regular .session it
sold as high -as tl. % .
There . \ another big tride In corn and
the market \va ? strong. Sympathy with
wheat rind a heavy demand from shorts
sent prices up sharply early. The market
brv-ko liter on realizing , but rilllcd again
on general buying by "long" Interests and
cosed stiong. 'May ' ranged from 31\c to
LM74o nnd closed \c higher at IHifill'Sc.
Oit was fiilrly active and Irregular ,
though averaging strong. The market
st irted "trong through s > mpathy with

agiln later In the day. many sellers buying

r export demand was again active. May
Hinged from 27ic to U7c nnd closed Wic
higher at i75 c.
1'rovlslons nere active. Heavy receipts
of hog- gave thu market i weik start , but
the heavy advance In grain , the de
mand , especially from shorts. Inci eased and

CATThi : Receipts were several hiiiidted
smaller than on yesterday , but nbout the
snmc as n week ngo. Good to cholc" > cutlle
vvero consplououslj scarce , nut there tvvns a
fnlr sprinkling of fair to very good beeves
and n good many common , warmed up and
enl ) pattly fatted steeis.
HICir STUIJUS The ninikct In gonei il
was not materially dlffcrc-nt from jester-
ilay's tmde. Sucn cattle us the shippers
nnd csporlers would compote for and bid
on , sold reudlly at nbout steady pi Ices , anil
local dressed beef even gel thelt share of
them On the medium nml common grades
the market was siovv and .inevonlv lower.
The proportion of these grades was so large
that local packers weie nil moro or less
Indifferent and bearish. Hepoils from other
points Indlc-ited nbout the same condition
of nffulrs. T < io good tut beeves vvero In ac
tive demand and fully hteady with the com
mon grades slow to 5fr 10elower. . Uuslness
was on tbo dragging order , but most of the
dccenl could have been disposed of by noon.
UUTCHERS * STOCK Cows nnd heifers
did not constitute n very Inrge share of the
tecelpts today , the offerinss Including not
over clgihteen or twenty lo.uls There was
a fair Inquiry from all sources and Ihe
tle4iler grades' ruled fully stendy with the
common cows blow nnd a shade off Veal
calves were very scarce and hi ought nrm
figures. The maiket for bulls , btaps , etc ,
was not nUotably different from yesterday.
STOCKCRS AND PUCDCUS There was
not much life to this branch of the busi
ness , thu supply being rather limited nnd
Iho demand mostly confined to yard trades.
Desirable light blecrs vvero readily salable
at good strong prices , but tlesiy stock , es
pecially when uneven , rough 01 off In color
or gr.ide , ruled slow and n shade easier.
