CHICAGO , May 16. Wheat wound up firm
jmdic > higher today after a new low price
record. Weak cables and fair selling caused
the opt'iilng easy feeling and reports of hot
lilgh winds In the west nnd the possibil
ity of a cold wave were responsible for the
later firmness. Corn closed ! c lower ; July
outs Uu lilfher and provisions were little
changed ,
In wheat there wns rather free Belling at
the start , favorable crop news , with the
exception of Nebraska nnd California , nnd
the weak , depressing cables , were the prin
cipal factors In Increasing the selling pros-
mire. The rally later In the day \v.as due to
reports of hot weather In Nebraska , some
advices reporting hot winds and the ther
mometer ninety degrees In the shade. The
weather map showed colder conditions In
Ilia extreme northwest , with snow at
llUcnn , nnd this created a little apprclicn-
Flon from the trade , fearing the cold wave
might extern ! Into the wheat belt. July
opened -c lower at fifi c , lost We and ad
vanced - e , closing nt the top.
Corn wns weak early , but later firmed up
rome and closed steadv. The early tone at
the ntnrt was attributed mainly to the ac'.ion
of uheat and the rally lat r to the weather In
the wrst nnd covering by shorts Price
rhnnges wore confined to aTic range.
In outs the feature \VIIH the light offerings
and better buying. This carried prices for
May up Ic and July I'ic. A reaction of % c
followed. Other months were % c higher.
Provisions opened weak and lower on the
decline In live hoxs at the yards. Some of
the imckcra bought to n moderate extent ,
lirlucH advancing slightly and then easing
tiff , lint ruled llrm nt th'1 close nt th out-
nlde figures of the day. Compared with last

of n selling movement , which Included
Sugar , St. 1'nul , Htirllngton & Qulncy
end Chlcaco Gas , and In lessor degree
others of the active flharea. The pres
sure to sell was most pronounced In Sugar.
There Is a growing belief that the refining
sugar Interests will not receive that con
sideration of which they have claimed to
be assured In the tariff bill If It should
roach lln.il put-wage. The situation In
Washington Is becoming more unsettled
and the outlook Is not so clear as It wns
a few weeks back for the Sugar people.
The shares are , however , strongly sup
ported when attacked , nnd today after the
Bellini ? movement started at the opening
had spent Its force good buyers were not
found wanting , whose purchases caused a
recovery of the early loss nnd even sent
the prices temporarily above the opening
figures. The curly decline was 2 > & per
cent , the subsequent appreciation 2J6 per
cent , then followed a reaction of 1 % per
cent nnd n final rally of U , making a
decline on the day of % per cent. Sugar
preferred lost 1 per cent. There
were quite heavy sales of JJur-
llngton & Qulncy In the llrst
hour , despite the fact that It was generally
admitted that the regular dividend would
bo declared , and a decline of % per cent
was effected. St. Paul was even heavier
than Its sister stock and there' were evi
dences of liquidation of the shares held
by a bull pool , which hoped to llnd a mar
ket on the strength which It was hoped
the Iturllngton dividend would Impart to
the dealings In the granger group. These
expectations were not fulllllcd und the
price of St. I'aul moved down on the largo
offerings made 1 % per cent , with only ' , i
recovery at the close. Rock Island declined
% and Northwestern stands unchanged
compared with yesterday. Chicago Gas
was sold down 1JJ per cent during the
morning , railed % In the afternoon and
reacted % , losing 1 per cent on the day.
A break of Z\tt wns made In National Leaden
on sales believed to be for the account
of Insiders , nnd tlje stock closed within
% of the lowest point touched , .The gen
eral market was weak throughout the
day and clost-d heavy , with prices as a
rule \'t to 3V4 below yesterday's final sales.
Exceptions were Pacific Mull , New York
Central and Missouri Paclllc , which aie
IJi and V4 per cent higher respectively.
The bond market was weak all day.
The Evening Post says : Partly because
of the western railroads' further move In
the rate cutting matter , and partly , per
haps , because of the Burlington dividend ,
the early movement of the granger stocks
showed a fair degree of firmness. In the
last half hour , however , a vigorous pro
fessional attack , centering in St. Paul , and
assisted probably by some liquidation ,
caused a few rather striking net declines.
This movement , however , extended over
only a small part of the list , the market
In general being quite Irregular.

CIIICACO MVK STOCK MAKKI'T.
As on Monday tlio Market Wnit Moodcd
with Cnttlo-Prlrc * Forced Down.
CIIICAOO , May 1C. Today' * cattle market was
not comforting to sellers. Not only was It ills-
cournglngly dull , but It was weak to a degree.
Eighteen thousand cattle Is too big a supply for
the slim demand , ns shippers were made aware
of today , for they had to submit to n decline
varying from Cc to lOc per 100 Ibs. There were
lots of good to prime heavy cattle here , and that
class especially sold bad. Hut even the fat ,
sleek 1,100 to 1,230-lb. steers that have been sellIng -
Ing so patlsfaclorlly of late could not be moved
at former prices. The only descriptions for which
the market was not profoundly weak were choice
cows and heifers. They were scarce nnd sold
nearly ns well ns before. I'rom J3.80 lo J4 bought
the bulk of the dresxed beef and shipping steers ,
and J2.75 to J3.40 were the prevailing pi Ices for
common to choice cows and heifers. Stackers
and feeder * arc In fair n iuei < t and continue to
sell high as compared with beeves. The calf
market was steady.
They bought good hogs nt J1.93 lo J5 , and the
cream of the olferlngs at J3.05. At the elope J3
was regarded as the top price , though there
were scattering cales early In the day at J3.10 to
J3.12HThe Increased receipts , the depression In
the Hoard of Trade markets nnd the hot weather
were all weakening features , and cufllelenlly ac
count for the reduction of 15o that xcllers were
obliged to submit to. Trade was dull at the
opening and was more Intensely so later In the
forenoon. Some of the packers were out of the
market entirely , and the few who were nt work
acted as though they wished they were not In
It. Sales were reportett till the. way from J3 to
J4.CO for culls to J5.10 to JS.12Ufor extra qual
ity. Only a. small part of-tbe supply sold above
J5 , and toward the elViss It took u pretty good
article to bring J4.69. )
The sheep market wan'firm. It was not by
any means active , .But J the moderate arrivals
for the lust few days gnvo sellerK a little the
best of the situation ; " I'rlfes ranged from J2 to
J4.BO for poor to chiilceHhorn. . U'ooled sheep
were not wanted atuliny"lmp rtnnt advance on
these prices. Sales oTTyW'fllngs were on a basis
of J3.50 to J5 , and springs' were quoted at H to

WESTERN TACKING INTICKESTS.
Movement of Hogs Moderate and Killing
for the Week Fulls Off Some.
CINCINNATI. May 1C. ( Special Telegram to
The Hec. ) Tomorrow's 1'rlce Cinrent will say :
The movement of hogs Is moderate for the time
of year. Western packing returns show 210,000
for the week , against 230,000 last week , nnd
245,000 last year , making n total of 2,610,000 since
March 1 , against 1,895,000 a year ago. 1'roin-
lnent places compare as follows :
PROBLEM FOB , THE BUILDERS.
Inspector * llejrln Doctoring the Federal
HulldliiK L'ouncliitloiiH.
Inspector Adolph Cluss of tlio Treasurj"
department Is again In the city , and this
time he Is superintending a test of the
piers of the new postofllce. The stability ,
or rather lack of stability , of the founda
tion Is still exciting the apprehension of
the officials and it has been determined to
test the various piers with heavy weights ,
and after noting the result take such pre
cautionary measures before going further
with the construction of the building as
will Insure Its standing solidly aftqr com
pletion.
The pier In tlio northwest corner Is now
undergoing a test. It covers a little over
100 square feet of ground and It Is weighted
with 230 tons of pig lead that wns hauled
up from the smelter for the purpose. This
gives a weight of a little over two tons to
the square foot. The estimated weight
that the pier will have to carry after the
building Is completed Is two tons. The
weight will be left there for thirty days.
It has already been there several days and
the pier Is still going down unevenly. The
Idea that "surface water" was responsible
for the unfavorable conditions that exist
there was abandoned long ago , even by
those who believed at the start that such
was the case , and the fact that there are
n lot of springs there Is now conceded by
them. 'C" ! -
How to get a sdrnVbulldlng on an Inse
cure and unstable foundation is the problem
that now confronts tha. builders , and It Is
by no means a slmiJa/ttiie , ns they are con
stantly finding out. . As soon us the tests
are completed It Is ; probable that the public
will be given BO mm Information that will
throw considerable , JIgljJ on the situation.

WEDNESDAY , May Ifi.
Compared with receipts for the llr.tt
half of last week the three day's supply
shows a falling off of 700 cattle nnd 700
sheep , while the Increase In hogs amounts
to over 5,000 head.
The supply of entile today wns just
about up to the nvcragc , nnd ns n nn >
the quality of the offerings was very good.
Trade wns brisk and prices strong on tne
handy light beeves , but slow and very
dull on the heavier grades. Dressed bei'f
men were all good buyers of the kind of
cattle that suited them , that Is the light
and medium weights , nnd would pay more
for good , fleshy steers weighing around
1,100 Ibs. than for 1,400-lb. beeves. The
demoralized condition of eastern and Kuro-
pean markets dampened the ardor of ship
ping nnd export buyers , nnd sn-llers ex
perienced considerable difficulty In work
ing oft cattle weighing from 1,200 Ibs. up.
Compared with neighboring markets thi
trade today was In very good shape , am
long before noon the supply had changed
hands ,
With less than a dozen loads of rows
In the yards the trade presented no new
features. Good , fnt moult was In active
demand and strong , while the under gradcrt
were no weaker than they have been rt-
cently. Most anything that the diessed
beef men could use sold at $ : t or over.
There was a light supply of calves , a gooil
demand and a strong , active market.
Hough stock of nil kinds sold freely and
at it shade better prices.
The Htqcknr nnd feeder market wns
rather active and generally prices ruled
firm. Country buyers took hold more
fieely and the supply wns pretty well
cleaned up nt the close. Good to choice
feeders arc quoted at t3.20ft3.70 ; fair to
good at W.O&jfS.lS ; and lighter , comtnonei
grades at from J3 down. Itepresenlutlve

HOGS The hcfja Imve been coming
pretty freely this week , notwithstanding
the decline In values. Receipts today were
the heaviest so far this month , anil the
< iui llty was very good. Rastcni markets
were lower , and all classes of buyers
were bcnrlshly inclined. Speculators und
shippers only did a moderate mnount of
business , BO that local packers were able
to feet In their work In good shape. Prices
ruled lOo to 15c lower than Tuesday.
Quite a few of the best butcher and heavy
loads brought $4.77'/6 nnd $1.80 , and there
were a number of the commoner light
and mixed loads that only brought $4.70
and $1.7214. For fair to good hogs of all
weights , however , the popular llgure was
$1.76 , and while trade was rather on the
dull and dragging order throughout , the
pens were cleared comparatively curly.
On Tuesday the trading was largely at
$4.85 nnd $1.90 , and on last Wednesday
most of the hoga went at $1.SO to $1.85.
