Hoga The shipper demand was very fair
this morning, and more than a third of
the offerings had changed hands on ship
plug account by a fairly early hour. Prlcoa
Involved wer around lOo higher aa a gon
eral thing, ranging from a big 16o up In
soma caaes .j not over 60 higher tn others.
The pucknr trade lasted all forenoon, and
was unsatlafactory from & seller's stand
point from beginning to end. It wag get
tins; alonv towards 11 o'clock when most
buyers started bidding, and then their of
fers were- not much mora than steady,
dfaplte a lO&lfto advance reported from
Chicago. Shipper competition helped sell
ers out some, and In the end aome of the
better hogs went to packers at 6 10c high
er figures, but values soon weakened oft
again, and the close waa very draggy with
all the advance loat. None of the packers
had a very big order, and the result was
that selling underweight and highly mixed
tuff waa a hard oroposltlon. these kinds
showing no Improvement at auy stage ot the
game.
males were made at prices that were alt
the way from steady to as much as 16o
higher, and the market averaged more than
i,c nbovs last week, but the undertone to the
packer market was anything but satis
factory. The turn thin ice took waa a sur
prise to everyone, as runs are expected to
bo vary moderate for some time to come.
The bulk of the sales landed at a jLpread
of $16.7616.10 and the top was fU.20,
equaling the record made last month.

CHICAGO ORAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Off rive Cento Because of Baa en
Trading for Two Days.
Chicago, 111., May 14. Twenty-three cents
drop In wheat prices today resulted from
sudden action of tho director of the Board
of Trade In decreeing forty-eight hours
stoppage ot all new buying of future de
liveries and In simultaneously fixing maxi
mum, value for the settlement of existing
on tracts on July and September. The ef
fect waa Instant paralysis of speculation.

wheat. The rest of the day the market
acted as If chloroformed. Wide fluctuations
continued to be recorded on the blackboards,
but the volume of business formed only an
inaigmneaiit total. Tne outcome waa an un
settled close at 14c to 18o net decline, with
July at $2.59 and September at $2.38. Other
commodities than wheat all scored gains

It was a foreaono conclusion In view of
