Corn was npHe, oats c, and provisions 10c to 20c. The. wheat market was firm the greater part of the day. A moderate reaction occurred as a result ofu the government report but the- market qufckly recovered from this slight setback- and prices soon rose to a higher level thart had existed prior to the announcement of the official statistics. The government figures on the average- condition of winter wheat met the expectations of the most radical bears, but fresh reports of damage by green bugs in the southwest outweighed the effects of the government's statis tics as it was rener!!y conceded that great Injury has" been inflicted since the government figures were compiled.

Receipts were of fair, proportion today and if there was any change in the char acter of the offerings the quality was not so good as yesterday. On account of the Improved tone to re ports from eastern markets and the bet ter general demand, the market was rath er more active than yesterday and prices were a shade higher for desirable cattle of all weights. While the demand was largely consigned to local dressed beef men, there was enough inquiry for ship ping account to make a good lively mar ket and practically everything wav! dis posed of some time before noon. The supply of cow stuff was not very heavy, with the demand somewhat more vigorous than it has been lately. Tire trade was lively and prices a shade high er than yesterday for all useful offerings. Veal calves, bulls, stags, etc., were picked up freely at steady to strong prices, and the tone to the market was healthy and firm throughout. There wa a good inquiry from both yard trader and country buyers for de sirable feeding steers, particularly the cattle of good weight and quality, and prices were fully as high as they have been any time this season. On the other hand, there was a disposition on the part of buyers to discriminate against the light and medium weight stuff unless it had the quality. Grass is a little back ward and the country is evidently not anxious to stock up with light stuff until the pastures are in good shape to. receive them. Prices for the light weights were generally a shade lower than yesterday and 1015c lower than the close of last week. flogs. Receipts of hogs were somewhat smaller than on yesterday and the market showed quite a little Improvement in consequence. Advices from outside points were also in the main favorable and dealers got down to business early on the basis of prices, about 58 higher than yesterday. all around. The demand from packers ap pears averted to putting on anything, and as a rule an up market i a slow one. Tops brought $6.4'JV today, as against $H.40 yesterday and the bulk of the trad ing was at J.27'it.. as against Z?.tft $..10 yesterday.
