CHICAGO , Ore. J5.-Aftcr a brief period
of strertKlli nml hWirr prices to bi-Kln
the tl.jyvllii , wheat bccninc very wenk nml
loft on IVio In-low the prlre It cofinnt \
ytnte-rilny. The principal n-iicon for Ibo
tterlliii' was that scalpers who bought yes-
tcrUny HOW u neat , quick prollt at the
oprnliiK anil hastened to ace-opt It. Other
mnrkriH were dull mill wrak. Corn elf-
dined ttr , on la Uc anil provlalona from
24c ! to 7'to. '
The opening of the whrat mniket today
was very nullsfntHory to tradura who hail
bold wheat over and were anxious to ills-
pose of U. lioth of the nouroon of nuw
\vhii h moat Inlluenced thu market Liver
pool i-abk'S ' and northwi-stc-rn receipts
wcro fnvuriibln to holier prices. Liverpool
reported au opening advance of lUd per
cental , which was a very generous ro-
uponse to the advance he-re yoHtcrdny ,
Northwestern receipts were llRht , decidedly
HO. Minneapolis and Duluth reported -IID
cars and Chicago 71 cars , a total of fill
rnrs n compared with B23 lust week and
l.fhiS a year ago. Inlluenccil by this news ,
May wliiiil , uhlch closed yesterday ut
fc2Vic , found plenty of buyers at the start
at from Ss ! c to SL'He , and for about llf-
teen minutes there wore fri-Ueiit | oppor-
tunltlcn to dlxposo of tout ; whi'iit at S-v ' ( . ' .
In addition to the Liverpool news , the
proits cabh'Ki'ams In the i-veiiliiR arid me/m /
int ; iiewspapt'i-s eoncernlnn the extensive-
area In India affected by the drouth lu-lpod
to oneoiirnKC buyliur. The openliiK prices ,
however , were the hluhest of the day. The
ncalpers Vtho started tu cell out their lltuvt ,
were spurred on In the efforts by leporls
that llrailstieet's world's visible .statement
was likely tn show an Increase for the-
week of .ViOU.OOO bti. or more. New York
reported a very poor foreign demand and
that Kilsplim wheat was liclim offered ut
Liverpool cheaper than American. The
Hradstrc-et's statement when received
Hhoweil the storks of the world to have
Increased only 2Viio ) ( bti. .Meantime , how
ever , May had dec-lined to Sle. After a
prolraeted strufiKlu It recovered to Xlvio
on a report of continued unfavorable
wmther In Argentina. The closing cable ,
however , showed most of the Llvcipool
advance lost ; Paris a shade lower for
wheat , although a trlllo higher for flfiur ;
Herlln ' ,4 mark lower , and Antwerp un
changed. The demand In the cash market
was slack and only 12,000 bti. of spring
were repotted sold for rail shipment to
country millers. The market became once
more exceedingly weak near the close and
got down once more to Sic. The closing
prlco was from Slo to Sl',4c.
Corn was dull , featureless and unworthy
of extended rcmntk. Its general tendency
was sluggishly downward. .May opened un
changed ut Si'fce , which was the highest
price for the day. It declined to CTic.
and that was the bid price at the close.
The weakness of wheat and rather liberal
receipts were the Influences , although the
last was somewhat neutralized by the
small intimate for tomorrow.
Oals were weak for the greater part of
the session. The heavy receipts today-
Mi cars caused free belling , and a limited
demand augmented the wnikiiesH. Toward
the close a little Improvement took place.
Influenced partially perhaps by linul-
Btreef.s report showing a visible decrease
of ril'i.OOO bu. May openul unchanged at
SWjc. di'cllncd to KOUic , and sold at from
20-U.e to 20'4e at thu close.
Trading In provisions was very dull and
consisted mostly In changing contracts
over from January to May. Yard prices
were lower and larger receipts were ex
pected tomorrow , both of which factH
helped to push provision prices down
ward. After the opening decline- , however ,
the market held comparatively steady.

CATTLE There was n very fair run of
cattle here today , the receipts footing up
3,290 na against 3,103 yesterday and 2,700 a
week ago. Not only were tin- receipts lib
eral , but the cuttle were better and there
were more of them. The market as a
whole was In very satisfactory condition ,
the demand being good , and the cattle all
changed hands In good season.
The offerings of beef stecra consisted al
most entirely of cornfcd natives , and while
u considerable many of thorn wore- not
overly good , there were some right good
and well finished cattle. Ono bunch was
good enough to sell up to T-.00. The mar
ket was active and the prices paid were
Just about the same as prevulieu yesterday.
Uutchers' stock was fairly active and
everything that could bo considered nt all
desirable sold early and at Just about
steady prices.
The market on stackers and feeders con
tinues In a very healthy condition. The
country demand Is sufficiently large to
absorb everything received , which keeps
prices up and renders the market active.
The cattle today sold freely and nt prices
that were certainly no lower. Ilcpresenta-

IIOC1S The liberal receipts of hogs anticipated
for today were fully realized , the run proving
to be the largest since December 2.
Tin- conditions were decidedly ngnjnst the
selling lulerests. This market was very high
yesterday , ns compared with ChlciiKo , und when
Hint market came lower this morning nnd tilt
full extent of the locnl iccelptH became known
buyers ct out to take off lOo. The market
opened that way and a kood many of thu hogs
sold on that basis. 1-ati'r on , as some of the
buyers got their orders filled und diopped out ,
the market eared off and closed weak und In
sumc cases 15o lower than yesterday.
The trade was fairly active considering that
thu market was loner und the most of thu hogs
sold early. Heavy loads hold very largely at

Who will pay that mortgage

It's lifted ?
A life insurance policy will
do it , and the cost to you is
only the annual premium paid
to the company. It is like pay

your mortgage to insure its re
lease if you die.
