was somewhat of a disappointment. It wns
generally expected to show a small decrease ,
. " , ( ) , ( iOO Im. or fio. but Instead there was an
Increase of 87.000 ! Im , and was the cause ol
one of the rather frorim-iit lluctuatlons. A
great deal of the strriigth of wheat , In face
of the bad Ilmmclal news , was accredited
tn the urea I demand frora the t'nlted 'Klng-
ilom for rash wheiii at the seaboivd and for
May wheat here. New York had buylnn or.
ders hero for May wheat before the opening
nt 791111 , when they knew at the. same time
that It was quoted at 71 ' ? c on the curb here.
The buyliiK orders came In a Hteady stream
from there all dny. t'rop dam.iKo reports
were no less munerott.i than before , and tin' '

Corn was slow and weak early In sym
pathy with wheat , and the causes which
inndo that cereal weak but reacted some
later when wheat Improved ni\d \ the finan
cial skies became clearer. Trailing , how-
I'ver , was extremely dull , and the variation
In prices covered only a He range. May
opened about It-Hie lower at ! ! V and fold to
ftnm 2."i'e ' ( , to 2.V/C , closing steady at 2Vic.
Oats weie weak and lower durlnu the
early part of the session , but advanced later
nml recovered the loss with n fraction In
the bargain. There was considerable buy-
IHK on the decline and a few short lines be-
Hldes were covered. The heaviness was the
most Influence through sympathy with
wheat. May opened a shade lower at from
IMjc to IJHic , sold no to from liJ4C ! to Ii7 e
nnd rested at from lli e to K\c bid.
The provision market was dull but llrm ,
nnd although prices at the close today were
utmost Idi'iitlenl with Saturday's closing the
tone of the trade was llrm. Kiilr support
was given by packers , who are not anxious

CATTLE The week did not open with a
very liberal run of cattle , the receipts be
ing smaller than last .Monday by about 1,00'J
head , and smaller than two weeks' ape by
MO head. Hesldes being few In number the
quality of the killing cattle was not good
on an average , though there wire cattle here
fully as good or better than anything on
snle at the close of last week.
The supply of dressed beef steers wa
limited to a dozen or fifteen loads of corn
fed cattle , none of them good or well
finished. The market opened fully steady
on handy cattle that suited the buyers'
purposes , and some decent kind of stuff sold
at M.OOfH.lO. The less attractive cattle were
slow and the market was easier.
Hatchers' stock , especially the better
grades of cows and heifers , was In good
request , and sold freely at last week's clos
ing prices. All told there were about ten
or a dozen loads on snle and the demand
was sulllclently active to effect an early
clearance of everything In the yards.
The strength that was developed In the
market for stockers and feeders last week
still continues , and values today on that
kind of stock were firm and the demand
active. As showing the strength of the
market , one bunch of choice feeders sold
up to $1.00. The springers were all taken
In good season. Representative sales :
