up the striiKcie to maintain prices. The
Inconipri'IioMullile character ot the Htntlstl-
cal Information wnt another cause of the
wholesale nbandonmcnt of long wheat
\vhlcli caused the early decline. Hrnd-

A London cablegram reported senernlly un
favorable wvatlirr In Huropc. As regard ) )
thu home crop much uncertainty still pro-
vullod. The reports of the generally Hooded
comllllon of the northwest nprlns whrnt
country wa enough to create uneasiness ,
to xn.y the least , with regard to the delayed
Hccdiiifr operations up there , but that. Ilka
other bullish matters , was lost sifflit of
In the commotion attending breaking
prices. Atlantic port uletirnnceK of wticnl
und flour for two days amounted to the
equivalent of 205,0(0 ( bu. , which was light
enough to count In favor of U-Je bears.
Closing cablegrams reported a lowering of
prices. As the shorts covered on early
weakness , sold more and renewed that sellIng -
Ing on report of the continued deprvsKion
abroad , prices had a further material break ,
May getting to CS-'Jic and Jul > to ( ad \ ( & % < !
about half an hour from the close. The
Inlest trading * was at ( ! 5c for May nnd at
CSTtc for July.
Liquidation in wheat extended Into corn ,
nnd that market suffered more than on any
day for several months. The market held
comparatively firm during the llrst scram
ble in wheat , but when after a temporary
lull the stampede began annln corn was
dragged down in the general wreck. Kx-
ports were again large. 1KUOUO ( bu. May
openrd ' , ( , lowr at 24'.4c , sold at 21'4e , then
went down to a-lVifi-T/lc , whi'rc It closed.
Oats was strictly In the race nnd Mulshed
a good third. Sympathy with wheat was
tlio pace w'hloh the market followed , und
there were Independent coachcrs In the
shape of liquidation and short selling to
keep up the rapid gate on the down grade
track. The npgrcwite business was heavy ,
May opened n shmle lower nt 170174c ! and
declined to IGUc , which was the closing
price.
' Provisions were weak like everything
else , nnd for the same reasons. Soiling
was by nil classes of commission people
evidently , nnd there wnn no let up to It or
support given the market. At the clone
May pork wns 12-&C lower nt JS.50',2 : May
lard about 2ic ! lower nt $4.0714 , nnd May
ribs about lOc lower nt $4.42ij.

CATTLE Ileeelpts of cattle were the
largest of the week to date nnd the largest
of any day since March 23. The receipts
have been so lleht for some days back that
packers have not been Betting cattle
enough and they have been compelled to
ship In from othur markets , fourteen loads
coming from Kansas City today billed to
local packing houses ,
A considerable mimy of the cattle re
ceived today were western feeders , so that
the supply of dcplrable beef steers was far
from being large. Both packers and ship
pers were early In the saddle and the mar
ket on desirable pornfcd c.ittle opened quite
briskly and at steady to strong prices.
The most ot the cattle sold early. Ad
vices from Chldigo' Wen- far from reassur
ing and under that jlnlluencu thu market
eased off n little , toward the last and the
close was not quite so stroiur.
Hjitchers' stock was not in very large
supply for the -number of cattle In thu
yards , only about itii.dozen . loads of cows
and heifers beliiB.on snip. The mnrjtct wns
active and the offerings all changed hands
early at fully sltad ? prices. Some little
heifers sold ns high as $1.10. '
Stockers and fee'd ra were In largo supply ,
a considerable propdrtion of the receipts
bslng made up of western feeders. The
demand wns of largfc proportions and the
pens were clearejl early , the market being
just about steady. Representative Bales :
