CHICAGO. April l.-The prospect of
rain in the southwest caused moderate
weakness today In the local wheat mar
ket, the May delivery clewing at a net
I. of '4c. Corn was down c. Oato
were oltWfie.- Provisions were ,lOc
''The market at the opening was strung
because of higher prices at Liverpool
and reports that the green bug was grad
ually spreading Into Missouri, it was
als reported from Ohio and Indiana mat
the growing crop is commencing to show
Uie effects of winter killing.
dispatclu-s were partially corroborated by
tho Ohio state report-which placed me
condition of winter wheat on April l at
87 compared with 98 In December, foward
the endof the first hour, however, senti
ment changed and price eased because
of an official forecast of wet weather
in the southwest. The market continued
weak for the remainder ot the day, ine
weakness of corn and oats having a de
pressing effect on wheat. The close was
easy. May wheat opened to
higher at 76c77c, sold at 77ftc and
then declined to TSc. Final quotations
were at 764TCc. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 448,400 bushels.
Primary receipts were 1.300,000 bushels
against 749,000 bushels for the same day
a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 952 cars against
79; cars last week and 628 cars a year
ago.
The feature of trading in com was the
liquidation -of the May option due chiefly
to a decline of Wtc in the price of cash
grain. With the exception of trading in
May business was in small volume. The
market closed weak. May corn opened
unchanged to 4e higher at 454Cc, sold
off to 4M4o, and closed at 45fce. Local
receipts wre 486 cars, with four cars of
contract grade.
Active selling in the May delivery which
was based upon expectation that receipts
will soon increase caused weakness in
the oats market. Favorable weather fo
seeding operations also Induced setlmfif.
The market closed weak. May opened
"ac to c higher at 42c to 42T,943c,
sold off to 42ttc and closed at 42c.
cal receipts were 354 cars.
Provisions opened steady but iater
weakened on general selling, a large part
of which was said to be for the account
of local packers. At the close May pork
was ofl 10c at $16,30. Lard was down
74c at $8.95. R?bs were 10c lower at $8.70.

There was another very fair run of cat
tle this morning, 200 cars being reported
In. Of this number there was quite a
sprinkling of feeders.
The market on fat steers opened a little
bit slow, but when it warmed up there
was some show of strength in spots at
least. Salesmen as a rule were quoting
the market anywhere from steady to a
little stronger, according as they hap
pened to have something that buyers
really wanted.
Cows and heifers in most cases com
manded steady prices, the- market not
showing any great change in any di
rection. The most of the offerings
changed hands in fair season in the
morning.
Considerable interest centered around
the trade in feeders. The receipts of that
kind of cattle were quite liberal. Being
Included among the arrivals was quite a
bunch of hay-fed Montanas. These cat
tle sold to the feeder buyers very readily,
some of them going as high as $6.10. In
other words, the feeder market was act
ive and strong.
II ogi.
There was no great change in the liog
market today, prices for the most part
being on a par with yesterday, or, pos
sibly, a little stronger. Good light hogs
sold largely at ftj.47 and up to $0.50,
the same as they did yesterday. The pro
portion of sales, however, at $6.47- was
somewhat below $6.45, as was the case
yesterday. The bis bulk of alt tfca hogs
sold at $6.45 and better, whereas, yester
day. It will be remembered, that nearly
one-fourth of the receiots sold below 36.4a,
sneep. '
It looks as if the whole week's run
came in Monday, as very little stuff ar
rived since that day, the receipts having
been light yesterday and still lighter to
day. In fact, there were hardly enough
sheep or lambs on sale today to really
make a test of the market.
It was very apparent, however, that the
demand for desirable killers was good, as
packers were out early looking for sup
plies. As a result everything desirable
changed hands in good season at prices
that looked a little stronger than yester
day. Thus two double-decks of good Col
orado lambs sold straight to a ' packer
at $8.00. Good heavy lambs sold a high
as $?.. Good ewes brought $6.80. These
and all the other sales of desirable kill
ers looked strnog. to say the least.
