Weekly Market Report
, CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, April 25. Reports of dam
age to the crop by dry weather in
the southwest caused an advance to
day by over 1 cent per bushel in the
price of wheat here. At the close of
the July option was precisely 1 cent
above yesterday's quotations. July
corn and oats were each up an eighth.
Strength in wheat developed toward
the middle of the session. Prior to
that time trading was of a dragging
nature -and the tone of the market
was eaV. The early weakness of the
the market was due to lower cables,
a slack demand for cash and favorable
weather for seeding in the north
west. One of the principal reasons
for the sharp upturn was found in
reports from the winter wheat sec
tions, where it is claimed the crop

LIVE STOCK
South Omaha, April 25 Cattl
Receipts of cattle were quite liberal,
although not up to the record of a
week ago. The cattle markets at all
points for several days have been
slow with a downward tendency ow
ing to the poor consuming demand for
meat products in the large centers,
ocal packers had orders for a few
loads of cattle for immediate slaugh
ter and in securing these they put
a little more life into the trade earlier
than has been the case on a good
many mornings of late. The general
market, however, outside of the earl
ier purchases was not very active.
Cows and heifers did not show any
material change and the market was
without new or interesting features
of any kind. The trade was none too
active at prices that were just about
steady with yesterday.
Hogs The break in hogs is having
the usual effect of increasing receipts
the country evidently fearing a further
decline and being under the impres
sion that it is better to take the pres
ent loss than to wait for it to grow
bigger. It was not therefore surpris
ing that the market should have
opened 5 cents lower than yesterday,
with buyers biding even worse that
in some cases.
Ranges of prices $6274 6.30. '
The following with show the prices
paid for the different kinds of cattle
on the South Omaha market:
Good to fair corn fed steers $4.85
5.40.
Fair to choice corn fed steers $4.65
4.S5.
Common to fair com fed steers $4.00
4.65.
Good to choice cows and heifers
$3.654.50.
Fair to good cows and heifers $3.00

Common to fair cows and heifers
$1.503.00.
Good to choice feeders $4.004.70
Fair to good stockers and feeders

Bulls, stags, etc., $2.504.00.
