declined slightly.
In wheal there was some Kooil buying
ifiirly for a reaction , as a good portion of
the trade looked upon yestirdaj's wcik- ;
iirsH us without warrn.nl from anythliiB
which could bo discovered In the IcKltlmatc
filiation. II was further helped by the
rcporl thai over roo.txX ) bii. cash whcnl had
lir-en taken yesterday , part of II to RO cant
by rail and 73 cars worn said to bo now
loading at one of Armour's elevators for
Iloflton , by rail freight. The opening de
cline In the Liverpool cable was only ' 4d ,
filial to less than Vje and was not regaldod
IIH serious In view of the overwcakness yes-
tcnlny , and New York wired liberal accept-
nnccs last nlRht. Northwestern and Chicago
cage receipts , ns usual , were a factor In
the early tone. Those points reported o
cars , aa compared with ISfi cars last week
ntid ! iS2 last year. Opening prices for May
were pntctlcally the fame as yesterday's
closing" llgures , Initial trading betnt ; at from
7ft7ic to Me , yesterday's closing being at
70'iic. A momeiu' after. S0'jc ' > was quoted.
] lut then began heavy selling , participated
In by many of the heaviest operators on
the board , which slowly but surely pressed
prices downward. One operator was cred
ited with disposing of over 1,000.000 and
the depression naturally following the un
loading of such large ciiantltlc | of wheat on
n rather unwilling mark" ! WIIP Increased
by rumors that It was for Armour. Cudnhy
was also credited with It , but tills \wis
emphatically denied by that gentleman. The
result was that May by 1:30 : bad de
clined to 78Ue. That , however , was the
lowest point of the day. It soon became
evident that the clearances would bo heavy ,
mid as conllrnnitory dispatches ns to crop
damage came In , the selling furore w.is
checked and prices soon advanced to EOc.
A reaction to 7'Jite then occurred , but It
wild temporary , and during the last hour
the market rained strength , to the New
port News advices that HO.WO barrels of
flour had been exported from there.Vhllo
It was afterwards corrected to read pounds
Instead of barrels , It nevertheless had Its
oITect. The market closed llrm nt SO-Tie for
May.
Corn was quiet and Inclined lo weakness.
The cables were easier , trade very dull and
when wheat made Its sharp break , corn
also sold oft some. The prospect of cold
weather has made larger receipts probable
nnil was partly responsible for the sluggish
ness the market displayed. The closing
Htrength of wheat had sulllelent Inlluenco
on corn to rally prices to the opening llgures
where the market closed. May opened at
yesterday's closing price , 2T > " .c. It sold at
' ! r > % r. declined to 2.V4C and closed steady
lit 2,1 lie.
The market for oats was n stubborn one.
There was some attempt at raiding during
the early hours of the session , but prices
held well In spite of the liberal offerings
nnd llnally advanced slightly. Huslness wan
fairly heavy though mainly of a scalping
order. May opened about ' , dc hlpher at
ISHtr , Bold between IttTdc and from 20'fcc to
20''iC. Closed steady at MHc.
1'rovlslons were slow all day. The openIng -
Ing was llrm , although at practically un
changed II'ires. . In sympathy with a steady
bog marl' and a slight advance followed.
Under liberal offerings by packers an easier
feeling was created and the advance was
lost. May pork closed about 2'/.e ' lower at
from J7.510 to $7.92' , < - : May lard , 2.e lower at

CATTI.K Today's cattle receipts were
the smallest of the week to date and
smaller than on Thursday of last week. The
total receipts for the four days this week
foot up 12,200 as against 11.849 for the cor
responding days of last week , so that In
fplte of today's light run the present week
so far has more than held Its own. The
offerings of cattle of all kinds were very
meager today , ufter deducting the GOJ header
or more that were consigned ilr"Ct ! lo
packers. The market , as H whole , was In
a most satisfactory condition , everything
being sold early and at good prices.
The offerings of beef steers consisted of
live to eight loads of cornfed cattle , which
were snapped up quickly at strong prices.
The best cattle sold a little higher than
yesterday and the demand Is t'ar farper
than the supply. A comparison between
the prices paid here and ill other markets
will lirlng out the fact that cattle are sell
ing here well up to Chicago prices. There
Wiis one bunch of choice little cattle In
the yards which sold at JI.7C > , but the most
of tlie cattle > uurc only good enough to
bring JJ.7504.23.
Everything In the line of butchers' stock
was In demand and sold freely at llrm
prices , to say the least , while desirable fat
cows and heifers sold even stronger than
yesterday.
The maret ! on stockers and feeders was
also strong , with the demand active and
more than equal to the offerlnKS. Hnycr.s
were not long In effecting a clearance of
everylhliiK on sale. Hepresentatlvu sales :

IIOOS With the exception of Tuesday the ic-
celpts of hogs today were the largest of the
wctk and larger than a week ago by about
2,400 head. For tlie four days of Ihe week the
receipts foot up 25.3S4 , as against 15tS4 for the
correfpondlng period nf last week , un average
dally gain for this week of 2,373.
Today's market ns whole was In fairly Falls-
factory condition , thoug.i It opened a shade to
Co lower t'.ian yesterday. The weak opening
was the CIIUEC of salesmen holding back a little
so that the movement , was not overly active at
llrst. The weakness , however , was of short
duration for llie market gradually took on more
strength , ax the full extent of the demand be
came apparent , nnd the closu was fully ns good
an yesterday. In some cases sales were made
at the last that looked even stronger than tlie
best time > esterday. Taking thu market us a
whole U would not show mucli difference from
yesterday's market In Ihe matter of values.
Th great bulk of till the hogs sold ut 13.10
and J3.15 , with quite n sprinkling on up lo J3.S5.
Ivoads averaging 300 HID. and above sold princi
pally at J3,10j3.15 , with an uccanlonal load as
high as J3.20 , the sumo ax yesterday. The
medium weight and light loads brought J3,25ij >
3.30 mostly.
The hogH were all sold and the pens cleared
early. Tnc market on an average today wan
ahcut Co lower tmn ! on Thursday uf last week
and almost 20o lower than it year ago , Hep.

Who will pay that mortgage
on your home if you die before
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
