Ihe Volume of Trade.
CHICAGO , April 7. A combination of
favornblo crop reports , wcnk cables nnd an
absence of Important trailing made n very
dull and weak market of wheat today , July
Closing nt a decline of about 1 cent. The
closing of the foreign exchanges until after
the K.ister holidays undoubttdly had some
Effect on the volume of trading done. Kvery-
thlng else on the floor was weak , partly
throuR'n sympathy with wheat. Corn closed
ftic lower , oats K3ic ! lower and provisions
7Hc lower.
A continuance of the weakness which be
came so marked during yesterday's session
marked the opening In wheat today , July ,
( Which closed yesterday nt 8lQS3c , ranging
nil the way fiom Slc to 81 < c. Nearly
everything was against the prlco at t'ne
etart. The Michigan crop report was per
haps the most Important factor. That re
port eave the , wheat condition nt Sflc , the
JilgVicst April figures since 1891. Liverpool
Bhowrd a decline of about > ,4d and conti
nental markets wcro equally weak. The
fear of damage to winter wheat by frosts ,
( Which has hovered over the market for sev
eral days , was effectually dissipated by the
HilffVier temperatures now prevailing
throughout the west. About the only ciumb
of comfort the bulls wcro given \vn t > iu
llguteq on the northwest receipts , which
BYiowed n considerable falling oft. Mlnne-
npolls and Duluth reported ll'J ' cars , against
220 lust week nnd M4 a year nno. There WJS
Homo He-altered buying at the start by local
BhortM and scalpers were satisfied with re
cent profits , but ti'io majority of traders
fwere on the sellingside. . liquidation by
Blscouragcd longs was quite marked for a
time and there wn some active short sellIng -
Ing : 'is well. For nearly two hours the
caur.se of t'no market was steadily down-
iwaid , varied occasionally by small frac
tional rallies as shorts came Into cover.
About 11:30 : the bad crop reports from
California , which had been comlns In all
ftnornlng , began to nave some effect on the
market. The condition there ns a result ol
the cold nnd drought was said to be very
prave , some reports placing t'ne crop con
dition nt not over 10 per cent. The effect
of those reports was somewhat nullified by
heavy rnlnsi In California during the last
forty-eight hours , but the decline waf
etoppud and nil appearance ot steadiness
Slven the market. July had previously Holil
us low as SSVzC , but It rallied to S3c. anil
for the rest of t'ne session kept close tc
that pi Ice. Trading became exce"slvclj
dull Into. In the session nnd the pit at times
( was not moio than half filled. Although
nil the local markets will bo open tomor
row , the closing- the continental maiket ;
over t'no ICaster holdayn had a tendency tc
narrow the trading hero nnd It finally tie-
Kcnerated Into a more narrow sculplnf
trade. Too closa was steady at 3c foi
ffuly.
Corn was easy , Influenced by wheat , bj
the warmer weather nnd prospects of largci
receipts on account of thn opening of n.iv
Igntlnn. There was a good deal of commls
i-lon house soiling and some profcsslona
liquidation. The decline was stopped bj
thn "heavy cash business. May ranged fron
CO c to 29c and closed ViC lower at 29c
Weakness In wheat and corn had a llki
effect on oats , that market ruling lowei
from the start. Unfavorable crop report ;
Jiad very llttlo effect. Trading was small
moderate offerings being taken very slowly
Blttv ranged fiom 25c to 25'/ic and closet
ftWiC lower at 2Jc.
Provisions were vveik , partly with gralt
nnd patrly on lower 'nog prices. There wa :
n continuation of the packing house selllni
ot yr.4lerd.iy , particularly of lard. Then
( was some recovery near the close on cov
crlnr. May pork closed 7M.C lower at $9.82U
( May lard 7jU ! ( lower at J5.1TJ4 , and May rib ,
Cc lower at $5.15.

NHW YOUK , April " . The conviction Is tin.
altered In Wall street tllit the delay In pre
senting the pres'dent's message to congress
adds to tlic poflbllltlci of a peaceful solutlor
of the Cuban question. The market closed o

lortlon of the sharp advance which entile wltli
lestcrday's news that the message was to b
lelayed until Monday was wiped out. The pro
fessional bears nhowed no disposition to renew
their short contracts. Neither was tli'ere nn >
sign of liquidation of long holdings. The onlj
buying demand was caused by some slight cover

commission house buying. The result was nr

Receipts of stock looked rather small to
day as compared with yesterday , there be
inga falling oft or close to ICO cars , still
we arrivals were very nearly up to the
record of a week ago. The loss , as compared
with yesterday , was entirely in cattle ant
hogs , there being less fn.ui half as manj
cattle today nnd twenty-live or thirty less
cars of hogs. In the matter of sheep re-
celpts. It was a record breaker.
CATTLU-WIKi barely seventy loads ol
cattle of all kinds in the yards the offer
ings looked small , but especially so after tin
largo run or yesterday. The quality of tin
cattle was also rather Infetior on an aver
age to yesterday's ofterlngs.
A large percentage of the cattle on sal (
consisted of corn led beeves , and still thi
total offerings were small , thouch none toi
sm.tll for Me day. The fact of Its being t
Thurrday. when there Is ordinarily llttli
or no s'nlpplng demand , was against thi
selling : Interests. The best that could be hali
or the market was that It was barely stcadj
to a little lower , nnd slow at that. Buyer :
were generally calling It slow , but nbou
steady. A few of Wo cattle such as wen
wanted to make out the day's killing , sail
early , but the tendency of the trade was t (
drag and It was late before anyming llki
a clearance was effected.
Butchers' stoclc sold ' -better than corn fci
beeves. The offerings of cows and lielfen
were not large , In fact hardly up to thi
requirements of local packers and i/fio / tradi
opened active and steady. Practleillj
everything changed hands early in fne day
Several bunches or good heifers sold up ti
$4.2o , and a few head brought as high ai
J4.40. Bulls , stags , etc. , sold at about Uv
same prices as yesterday.
Stackers and reeders were In moderati
supply wIfn about the usual demand
Values this week have shown very littl
change on that kind of stock. Common nm
medium kinds are considerably lower thai
"i1 'he extreme hlpi time , but really do
slrable thin cattle command way-up prices
Ilepresentatlvo sales :
HOOS Yesterday's break In the heir marke
had the natural result of causing HMppcra t
hold back suppl'cs ' to pome extent , nnd receipt
today were consequently much smaller. Ktl
there was about the same number as a wee
ORO , or In other words , a fair average run fc
this market.
The aveiage quality of the offerings was cooi
the receipts running largely to hess on th
butcher vvelglit order.
lloth packers nnd shippers were In the flel
with liberal orders , nnd tt.oueh the market vva
a llttlo sticky at nrst It really opened falrl
active , and the lle > s were soon full of hos
movlnpr toward the scales. The prices paid vver
about the same-as prevailed on yesterday's mai
ket , that Is , J3.70 for mixed loads and from thn
up to J3 to , the top on choice butcher weight ;
A larue proportion of the hogs sold early nn
or. that basK but later on , after the morn urfreri
orders had been filled , and after message * hn
arrived nnnounclnff a lower market nt CMcni ?
and Kansas City , the trade slackened upVc
a time the market came almost to a standstl
with about twenty loads unsold , but It did nc
lonir remain In that condition. The arrival t
fresh orders caused It to liven up again , nn
the close was fully as coed as the opening.
TnklnK the market as a whole , the IIORS FO !
about lOo hlehcr limn a week ago , but In abou
the same notch as two weeks BRO. and 10o lovvt
