The demand tn the wheat pit today wa

up to :4c. declined to 23c. then rose to

ascribed to the signior of the reciprocity
treaty with France. The treaty cuts the
French meat tnrlfr in two and reduces the
tax on lard a third. July pork opened 24

activity and strength were not by any
means uniformly distributed. The gram-
get-i exercised a powerful sustaining Info-
ence anti Ilock Ixiand was the feature of
the group. St. Paul closed the day with a
net gain of over 2 points. the advance

hive evidence3 of depression and it waS
with diiflculty that they rose at any time
above last Saturday's level. A fair amount

The figures given above will show that
the receipti for the last month were the
largest in cattle and hogs in the history of
the yards for the month of May. except-
lag only Mny , 1694. In the case of sheep no
such exception Is necessary , as the arrivals
were the heaviest for any month of May
since the yards were opetied , but more than
that they were the heaviest for any month
previous to March of the present year.
The weather today was dark and gloomy
anti not well calculated to make stock show
up advantageously , anal as a still further
hindrance a nunlber of the trains were late
in arriving. They kept-corning In all the
morning , until the receipts tooted up fully
as large as a week ago , wtth the exception
of hoes only.
CATTLE-There were plenty of cattle
here today , buyers ligurJng that there were
150 loads of beef on sale , wIllie at the mine
time there was quite a , sprinkling of stock
cattle , butchers' stock ec.
The market opened reasonably early in
spite of the fact of its beia' a rainy morn-
lag , antI , . as a whole ii wa4 in quite satisfactory -
factory condition for h.e3cllers. Buyers ,
both packers and shippers appeared to
want the cattle and ; pmovement was
fairly active on handy native cattle at
least. Some sellers compned that heavy
westerns were slow , buVlhat is an old
story. iind hardly worth , repeating. The
prices patti were fully steifdy anti possibly
a. little strong on the reallrdeeirable kinds.
A bunch of choice heavy white faces sold
at $4.50. the highest price paid and the
best cattle seen here in a long time. Very
few cattle that would be cpnsidered really
prime in either the Kaheas City or Chicago
markets come here butyhen they do they
bring very satisfactory prices.
Cows anti heifearwere in active demand
and the ten or a dozen loads sold readily
at jut about steadyprice. One two-load
bunch of helfers sold atSI.40. Desirable
helters are selling very high. as compared
to other kinds of cattle. as will be apparent
to any one who is keeping track of the mar-
ket. Bulls , stags , etc. , sold at good prices.
Veal calves bring great prices , but are very
scarce , only two or three a day being re-
ceived.
Of all the cattle here there were few that
could be classed as stockers or feeders and
the trade conseqeuntly in that kind was
limited and without feature of Importance.

head were received at this point. Omaha ,
however , was not alone In showing a decrease -
crease in hog receipts. as there was a fall-
tag oft at all principal market points.
Chicago this morning reported only 13,000
head , as against 22,000 head a week ago.
Moderate receipts had a natural stimulat-
lag effect upon the market. which opened
this morning a shuie to Sc higher than
yesterdays close , though not much better
than yesterday morning. There were some
very good heavy hogs here , which sold
