Opinions on the exchange are quite varn.'d, but most of the business Is done on the selling side, on the theory that Hie financial anu commercial conditions would not permit any good advance. However, publio trade Is light and the stock market is much Improved. Wheat was steady to some higher on the start. Influenced by the late show yesterday of strength In outside and foreign uiar kwta Later a disposition to lake prutlta eased the market off and the close was on the decline. May wheat opened at H'iO and closed at 94Hc. The corn market was dull und weak on heavy selling and no support came out to check the decline. Liverpool was weak and affected the demand, wnlch haa been th only stimulus. May corn opened at 60Vc and closed at 49c. Oets opened steady and worked higher, with demand stronger and very light ol ferlngs. Good quality and graded oats ere scarce and much sought for. May oats opened at 61'c and closed at He.

For the week the receipts ha"e ben vory clogs to last year's record, sriowing a con siderable gain over one week ego. Thre hus been a fair mixture of both rangers and fed stuff, so that the market during the greater part of the week has been fairly wall aupplled for this season of the year. A feature of the week's trade' has been the spread between the good and the com mon kinds. However, that la nothing un usunl for this season of Uie year, as this la the time when packers want a good Srade.of rangers and when there Is less emand than usual for the common and medium kinds. The result has been that the prices on the better grades of both beef steers and cow stuff have tended upward, and at the close of the week are quite a little stronger than one week ago. At the same time common to medium grades had a downward tendency, being weak prac tically every day, so that at the close they are -ereneraily- a-little -tower 4hew last week. The same tendency was also noticed In the feeder trade. The easing up of the financial altuation brought In quite a num ber of country buyers who kept the good grades-Tif cattle very well cleaned up, giv tag the market on that kind-an upward tendency, and at the close of the week prices are generally quoted a little stronger In consequence. On the other hand.- the common and medium grades, pertly be cause they were not so much soug-nt after, had a-easier tendency and are generally a trifle lower now than one week ago.

T. ,M ,74,1 SHEEP There were no fresh recrlpts of sheep todsy, so that there was nothing from which 4o base en estimate of th market. For tho week tlio rrcelpfs hsve been normal, showing a slight g.tln over the previous week and not much change as compared with a year ego. As Is to be expected at this season of the year, the srrtvslr) have consisted very lnrgly of fed stuff, but still there baa been quite a sprinkling of rangers. - The market tin the .best grades mt- fnt sheep have not,, shown any marked change during the week. There have been strong day and weak tlays, tiut at the close the best gravies are TUt selling very different from whet they were a wr-ciij ngo. The ni.'illutn to fair graUasB, however, are snfely l'"516c lower, and 011 some dera have been rsther hsrd to move hn sccnunl of pnrkers discriminating agalnet them un4 In favor of the fintaiind stuff. l.Hnihs have suffered during the wseh quite a decline and mitstde or The very choicest kinds they are snfely I5o low than a week ngr. The season of the year I arriving when packers wanl a few rlntit choice litmhs and stuff answering to that description sells, accordingly, to very good advantage. Thus on lldsv of thff, week choice native lambs sold up to 14 .IS, tho high prlco of the wetk, although the market was lower on the general run of the receipts. It would be well for shippers to besr In mind that ust before the. hutdaye pack ers are never good buyers of the common to medium grades of sheep nd Inmbs. This Is the season of the year when they are very likely to Jnolst upon having good stuff Or nothing st all. It follows then that half fat and Inferior grndt-s are bound to soil to very poor ndvantetfe as com pared to choice or finished kinds.
