Since the official crop figures by the government were posted, lons In wheat have been Inclined to sell their holdings. Market values have succefslvely declined owing to these liberal offerings each day while bears have not pressed their ad vantage. On the other side any marked support by bull leaders would undoubtedly result In quick reactions. The corn market continues to show marked strength In face of bearish condi tions. The recent advance In cash com prices caused liberal selling by the country and stocks should show an Increase for the week.

Several anxious own ers of wheat reduced their over-Sunday worries and unloaded holdings today. New crop cargoes from Argentine and Australia were pressing at lower prices in European markets and making an upward tendency here practically impossible. The clone was at a net decline of Vo to He Both oem and oats at the finluh showed a gain of a shade to c, compared with last night. Provistons also rose, last sales being up 2 '4c to 46o. One of the chief reasons for a bearish market in wheat was the fine quality of the yield In Argentina According to current reports the grain bolng harvested had an average weight per bu-VheJ one-half to one pound heavier than last year. The woes of the bulls seemed complete when the Kansas Board of Agriculture issued a state ment estimating recent crop in the state at 1,000.000 bushels more than the federal gov ernment's figures, and putting the outlook for the growing plant 8.6 points above the Washington percentage. Nevertheless, the market held fairly steady at the close. During the sesejlon, May ranged from 96 to 9C'io to DftVITic, and finished ?i4o net lower at D&e. Corn made a decided show of strength early, but drifted bark to almost last night's level. May fluctuated between 4"H to closing easy at 47',4e, a net gain of a shade. Cash corn was unsettled, yellow ruling weak and mixed firm. No. 2 yellow finished at 61(?5 6mc. Oats were more consistently firm than any other grain on the floor. May sold between 344c and 34c, with last sales Ho up at 84ifT34e. Frlphtened or exhausted shorts covered provisions freely. In the end pork was up 37UC to 4f.c; lard 10c to 15c dearer and 2Hc to 7Ho added to the cost of ribs. Leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. High. Low. Close. Yes'y. Wheat Deo.... May...

As compared with a year ago receipts show a slight falling off, still It has been a large run for this season of the year, and other markets have also been heavily supplied. While the buying demand for beef steers has been good throughout the week, liberal receipts have caused a gradual decrease in values sverywhere, and at the close of the week prices at this point on beef cattle nre around 26o lower than one week ago. The decline has been general, even good kinds suffering as well as the poorer grades of half-fat stuff. It takes very good, well finished, heavy cattle to bring (6.60 at the present time, and the highest price paid during the week was (6.75. This price was paid for light weight fancy yearlings bought for the Christmas trade. Cows and heifers have sold very well all week, the demand for that kind being, If anything, better than for beef steers. Prices, however, have gradually eased off, and at the close of the week are around 10015c lower than last week. The decline has been the most pronounced on the fair to medium grades, which have been very uneven sellers throughout the week. Veal calves have declined about 25c, but the market Is still high. Good bulls and stags have sold to very good advantage through out. The demand for stockers and feeders has been very fair for this season of the year, but It has centered largely on cattle of medium weight, with plenty of Quality and breeding. On the other hand, heavy or fleshy feeders, as well as anything lack ing In quality, have eased off somewhat and are fully 10315c lower than last week. There has been quits a number of range cattle received during the week, consider ing how late It Is in ths season, and beef steers and feeders have commanded steady prices. On the ether hand, cows and heif ers "have eased off a little In sympathy with the decline on natives and are quot able around 1 04 15c lower.

This makes the total for the week 2V4o head, as against 2..srk head last week and 27,100 head a year ago. Thus It will be seen that receipts aie about normal as compared with recent weeks and a year ao. The market opened this morning 10W171O hlRher and was fairly active at the advance, the big bulk of Mie hogs selling In a very short time. S.iles were closely bunched tog-ether, a considerable priortion of the hogs bringing (7. Ma 7.60. BiivfTn seemed to pay more attention to quality than to welR-ht. While strictly good light and medium weights are preferred to the heavy hogs. stiH the best heavy hogs sell to better advantage than Inferior or rougher light and mixed weights. After a considerable proportion of the hogs had changed hands the market eased off and for a time buvers were talking lower prices. Then It braced up aaln and the remainder of the early arrivals sold, but hardly so good as early. Prices this week have shown a very con siderable advance notwithstanding the fact that there was a little reaction on Wednes day and Thursday. At the close of the week the general market Is around 35i40c higher than last Saturday, when the aver age of all the hogs sold was (7.181. Representative sales: N. A. Sh. Pr. No. At. Bh. Pr 60 34 ...

The receipts for the week foot up a little over 31,000 head, being a heavy decrease as compared with last week, but still about on a par with a year ago. The arrivals have consisted almost entirely of killers, very few feeders having been Included in the runs.. This means that the supply of fat sheep and lambs has been very liberal throughout the week. The market this week has been rather uneven, thus on Monday prices looked up considerably, but on Tuesday larger re ceipts gave the market mi backset and the gain was wiped out. Commencing with Wednesday the market again looked up and has continued to show improvement until the close of the week. There has been, however, quite a little difference in the amount of gain realized by the' different kinds and grades of stuff. Thus lambs and ewes at the close of the week are safely 60c higher. The best light weight lambs sold as high as (6.26, with good light ewes at $3.86. Yearlings also made a good advance, selling as high as $6.10 for the best llrht weights received. As a rule sheep are quoted around 26'S'40o higher, right good wethers bringing $4. '26. A feature of the week's trade that has stood out very prominently Is the fact that buyers are preferring light weights and discriminate very strongly against heavy stuff, although It may be of very good quality. Thus the advance has been more on the light or handy-weights than on ths heavier grades. Another feature of the week's trade has been the strength shown by feeders. The receipts of that kind have been very light, as noted above, while the demand has beer extremely good. Commission men havu buying orders in hand far In excess of the supply and anything at all desirable In the way of feeders met with very ready sale every day of the week. As high as (5.40 was paid for lambs to go back Into the country to be placed! on feed.
