The dethand continued good at all times, however, and the market rallied on all email re esnlnns. The foature of trading was a lack of offering. On aeVnimt of the mcw-nlng for the victims of the Iroquois hie the hoard closed an hour earlier than Is usual on Saturdays. The shortened session added to the activity.

I'ork ruled the provision list In a sensa tional advance and at one time was 7"a higher for May over the low point of the stay. The war scare and total absence of aTNlverle on January contracts were the influences that caused the higher prices. Offerings were light throughout the entire session.

The sales that were made looked about steady with Thursday. For the week receipts show an increase over last w ek amounting to about 6,ou0 head, but, as compared with the lame period a year ago, there Is a falling off of about 3,000 head. The demand from all sources has been of quite liberal pro portions, und, as a result, the tendency of prices has been decidedly upward. Ths receipts this week have Included a limited number of cornfed steers, und under the Influence of a good demand the market has moved steadily upward and a net gain of close to a quarter Is noted. As com pared with the low point two weeks ago this Is a gain of fully 60U60c, and, in some cases, the advance has been even more than that. Hhort fed cuttle are now sell ing largely from $4.00 to 14.26, with very common cattle, from 14.00 down. Fair to good grades sell from $4.26 to $4.60, and good to choice from 14.00 to 16.10. Something fancy would probably bring 15.25 without any trouble. The cow market has also been on the up grade this week and Is right around a quarter higher. The greatest improve ment has been on the medium class of cows which, u bout two weeks ago were selling arounn, $2.40. These same kinds are now crowding the $3.00 mark pretly hard, fan ners and cutters are quotable from $1.75 to $2.40. fair to good from $2.40 to $3.15, and good to choice from $3.25 to $3.60, and fancy griiBes would not mUs $4.00 very far. Hulls may be quoted right close to a quarter higher fur the weak. - Rologna grades sell from $2.00 to $2.50, fair to good from $2.75 to $3.60, and good to choice $3.50 to $4.00. Veal calves are unchanged, best grades peMing up to $5.00. , Stockers and feeders have been In very light supply all this week and, as the de mand has been fairly good for the time of year, prices are fully steady, with some thing choice In the way of yearlings a little higher. Common cattle sell from $3.00 down, fair to good from $3.00 to $3.25, and good to choice irom $3 26 to $3.75, and choice to fancy yearlings from $3.75 to $4,00. Rep resentative sales: ' BEEF STEERS.

I M J 11M t U 1 60fr I (0 HOOH-iThere was a moderate run of hogs In sight this morning, but owing to un favorable reports from other points ths market here eased off about a nickel. At the start a few loads may have changed hands that weie not quite that much lower, hut the general market could best be de scribed by calling It 6c lower than yes terday's average. Trading was fairly active after buyers and sellers got together, so that a good clearance was made at a reasonably early hour. Heavy hogs sold largely around $4.65, with prime heavies from that up to $4 724. Mixed boas sold from $4.50 to $4.60. and light weights from $4.50 down. There waa not enough chnitge In the mirket from start to tiiilsh to he worthy of mention. Receipts this week have been consider ably heivler than a week ago, the Increase amounting to about 14,000 head. As com, nared with the same week a year ago. however, there Is a decrease of about 1.000 head. The general tendency of prices has bfen upward this week, so that even with the decline today there Is a net gain over the close of Inst week amounting to about ffflOc.
