CHICAGO. Jan. tt.-AnxIrty by short
sellers to cover their trade before the Bun
day holiday was the cauae of an advance
of 14 today In the price ot May wheat.
The upturn waa aided by an active demand
from the bull crowd. The rlne waa strona-.
with May falc higher. May corn grained
rwc, and oata Provisions cloaed at
veaterrin v'h fltml Miruraa.
Wheat holdlna-n appeared to be more
strongly concentrated In a few hands today
tlian before the heavy liquidation of the
la at forty-plaht ho lira. In addition foreign
markets did not reapond to the break here
yesterday. Aa a consequence opening quo-
tatlona on May were unchanged to Sc
higher, at toomTtr. An effort on tne part
rtf Bhnrta tn rnver rcHlinerl In an earlv
advance to 01H4j9'V.'. Considerable long
wheat came out on the bulge and the price
went back to Dir. During the remainder
of the session there were frequent rallies
and declines, the leading long adding ma
terially to his line on earn reaction, ine
close waa strong, with prices well up to
the high point, nnal figures on May being
at VlN'qfll'40. The July di-llvery advanced
In sympathy with May and closed KftlVfeC
runner, at Kuwmyic. Clearances 01 wneai
and flour were equal to K87,(MjO buahels.

against 6SI,20f bushele a year ago, Minne
apolis, Iiuluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 873 cars, against 41 cars last week
and 444 cara a year ago. -.
The corn market was Influenced more or
less by the tone In wheat.. There was con
Iderable liquidation by local holders going
on. Toward the middle of the session the
market became aoilve on demand from com
mission bouses and an attending rise In
values resulted. The good shipping demand
was a minor nun factor, wnue more iavnr
ahle weather had 'an opposite effect. The
close was strong, with May at 4iiHc, after
opening a shade to higher at 4:t"Hfl4tfVc
and selling between 49Vq4!lc. Ixical re
ceipts were 276 cars, four of contract

with a stronger hog market. Pit traders
and commission houses were, the best buy
ers, with Kngllsh houses supplying the de
mand. The small advance was lost late
In the day on outside liquidation and the
close was steady, with Mav pork and lard

CATTLE There were not enough rattle
on sale this morning to make a market
For the week offerings have been rathor
limited, the decrease as compared with last
week amounting ,to about 8,000 head and .n
compared with the, corresponding wepk of
last year there la a falling off of about
6,000 head. In spite of that fact, however.
the general market has been slow moat of
the week with prices considerably lower.
The proportion of corn-fed steers Included
In the receipts haa been no more than nor
mal. The quality has hardly been un to the
Usual standard owing to the fact that moat
of the offerings were short-fed and could
not oe classed above fair to good. Occa
sionally a choice bdnch would arrive and
as high as 15 was paid thla week. The mar.
ket moved steadily downward until Thure-
aay, wnen there was a slight reaction, and
on Friday prices were If anything a trifle
stronger. Even at that the market is all
of 104.15C lower than a week ago. The re
port Is that the beef market In the east Is
in rather Dad shape and as a result the de
mand from packers as well as ahlnnera la
rather limited. , Short-fed and common cat-
lie are selling irom h.io flown, fair to
good grades from $4.25 to $4.50 and good to
choice from t4.60 to $6.
The cow market has also been In rather
bad shape, the course of prices being much
tne same aa roiea aoovs tor steers.
Wednesday was the low day of the Week,
but even with Thursday's and Friday's Im
provement the market Is right around
15c lower for the week, except possibly In
the case of something that Just suited .buy
ers. Canners and cutters ara selling largely
from $1.50 to $2.25, fair to good grades from
$2.40 to $2.-90 and good to choice from $3 to
$3.60, with something prims from that up
ta $3.75.
Bulls have eased off snout lMrZ5e. the
greatest loss being on the better grades:
Bologna bulls are now selling from $2 to
$2.50, fair to good from $2.60 to $3.26 and
good to choice from $8.25 to $3.76. Veal
calves have not shown much change, the
better grades selling largely from $5 to
$5.26, With a top at $5.50.
There has been a -fairly liberal run cf
stockers and feeders here this week, and as
the demand from the country has been
aomew hat limited the tendency of prices
has been downward. The good heavy cattle
are perhapa not over 10ftl6c lower, but aside

on sale this morning, but moat of them
were sold to arrive. For the week, receipts
are about 8.000 head short of last week, but
as compared with the same week of last
year there la sn Increase of over f.Oco
heid.
The market the first half of the week
was In rattier bad shape and prices reached
the low point on Wednesday. HI nee that
time tha general tone to the trade has been
decidedly better and the tendency or prices
upward, so that about half of the loss,
whli h amounted to 25c to 40c, has been re
gained. The part fat and common kind
have been neglected and hard to sell at
any price. L'ommuutlon men are advising
their, patrons to make their sheep and
lambs fat bfore dlsDonina of them.
