CHICAGO , March 4.-8 lllng by Armour
And presumably by elevator Interests was
the feature In wheat trading today nnd was
mainly responsible for a iluollno of lJc ! In
May nnd M/lc In July , Corn was weak In
Kympathy and declined ic. Oats were sus
tained by the export demand nnd closed
quiet. Provisions closed lower , caused by
liquidation.
At the opening nnd for a short tlmo
afterwards there wan n. lively spoculatlve
demand for July wheat nnd the market
displayed considerable firmness. As usual
J.oltur wns nt the bottom of the strength ,
the ordering of MO.OfX ) bushels more of his
wheat for shipment to the seaboard this
making nearly 3Ou0.ttiO bushels since this
movement began being responsible for a
Rood deal of buying. Another factor was
the signing of the decree reducing the
Span Is i Import duties on grain. Opening
trades In July were made at ! UliifHc ? ! , a
Hhadc above yesterday's closing price , nnd
enough support materialized to send the
price up to Slo In a short time. That
proved to he the high point of the day.
Outside of the Items of news mentioned
everything favored the selling side of the
market and this fart soon had Its effect.
Liverpool was the specially discouraging
feature. That market showed UiJd de
cline. Argentine shipments were the heav
iest thus fir this season , being reported
nt IGIO,0 bushels. ChlcaRO received 6C
cars , 10 of which were of contract quality
Northwest receipts amounted to 313 cars
against 217 lust week and 23S n year ago
Kxport clearances for the day were not
largo onouirh to be a bull feature. The
figures were 393.000 bushels and primary
receipts were over 4.VJOO ) ( bushels. This
array of bear news gradually brottgh
sellers Into the mnrltct and lltiuldatlon
light nt first , gradually grew heavier , prices
slowly declining. In the meantime anothe
factor had entered the market In the shajK
of selling of May by the elevator Interests
In which Armour was especially prominent
Ills houses made no secret of their selling
and the freedom of their olTerliiKS brough
others to the selling side. Opening price
of May were < c higher at Sl.OfiU. An
Irregular decline to $1.0.VS followed. Then
came a nllght reaction , but prices soon go
back to SI.OJV4 'iRaln. July by that time
had declined to IK ic. Fur some tlmo th
market hesitated at those figures , but tin.
liquidation of May finally took nil the re
malnlng courage out of the bulls and the
market vwns left to shift for Itself. During
the IaVrhour offerings became quite heavy ,
both In May nnd July , and prices slid off
rapidly , Mny gettlne as low as Jl.WVi and
July declining to OOc shortly before the
close. Covering by shorts with good profits
then caused u little better feeling and
alight Improvements followed , Mny rallying
to $ l.H ( i and July to OOi/iB90 % . Those were
the closing prices.
Corn wan easier on a moderately active
market. Some strength was shown at the
start , the market In this respect following
wheat , but when wheat declined selling of
corn became quite general and prices de
clined steadily. Favorable weather and
prospects of a prodigious Argentine corn
crop were factors. May ranged from
SOftffilMJic to UOMjSOJfc nnd closed % o lower
at 30'/ic.
Oats were remarkably strong during the
morning. Heavy export sales and liberal
commission house buying caused -c ad
vance , which was maintained for some
tlmo. Weakness In other markets nnd a
moderate amount of realizing resulted In
a. Ions of this advance Inter , the market
closing rather easy. May ranged from 27".ic
to 2G34C closing a shade lower at 2Gifi2iTiic. ;
Pressure to sell provisions was marked
from the start and grew heavier ns the
session advanced. Most of this was cred
ited to a prominent packer , but offerings
were quite general and the market , which
opened lower In spite of llrm hog prices ,
declined steadily. Toward the close a little
support was given the market and prices
rallied sllg'itly. The feeling , however , was
distinctly weak. At the close May pork
was 20c lower nt $10.4l& . May lard lOc lower
nt $ . " .20 and Mny ribs lOo lower nt JG.liVfc.

Cotton IMiirkft * .
NHW YOUK , Maivh 4. The net result of to
day's dealings In cotton futures and the scope
of fluctuations was most unsatisfactory to the
trade In general. After opening quiet at nn-
chanKed prices to a decline to 2 points , the latter
being In sympathy with less favorable KnKllsh
cables than looked for.i there was scarcely a
point's variation during the entire session. Spec
ulation wa chiefly of the scalping order and
small even at that. The pronounacd firmness of
primary markets nnd continued active export de
mand checked any pressure to sell , while on the
other hand port receipts continued on B liberal
xcale and Investment Interest was exceedingly
llKht. There wns some selling early In the ses
sion for the account of English and southern
houses , but this cotton was absorbed by th
stronger bulls ami less confident shorts. At the

CATTLE Today's cattle run consisted of
eighty-two cnra , as against sixty-four cars
yesterday. The general quality averaged
up qulto well us compared with a good
many days nnd there More some prettj
lecent loads among the offerings. The
market as a whole wns In quite satisfactoo
condition ami changes In values were not
very marked , but such as there were ap
peared on the lower side.
IKKF ! STEKRS The demand for fat rattle
vas not quite so urgent as yesterday and tha
fact was suillclent to give the market an
easier tone. Still handy little cattle am
nil such as seemed desirable for the dresseu
liccf trade were good scllem nnd as a rule
fully steady. Heavy cattle , both exporters
i well ns those on the coarslsh order , were
liardly as high as yesterday o-vving to the
fact that competition among the buyers was
not quite so brisk. A few of the best cattle
ticro were good enough to bring $4.00 and
? 4.Cj , but there was nothing cither In price
or quality equal to the top cattle , here yes
terday.
BUTCHERS' STOCK-For several days
past buyers have been forced to pay pretty
stilt , prices for cows and heifers owingto
the light supply and their urgent necessi
ties. For that reason it was only natural
that they should try to take off something
when the offerings were more liberal. They
started out bidding all of lOc lower and
though sellers struggled hard to geit steady
lirlces , they had to accept the lower bids In
many cases. There were Instances where
desirable lots of cows nnd heifers brought
nearly- good prices as yesterday , but
the general market was lower.
STOCK GATTMO-Offerlnga were ex
tremely light , while the demand wns good.
The-offerings even of half fat cuttle that
would do for feeders were light. The few
cattle available sold. In the language of
the yards , higher than a house. The fact
that fat cattle have advanced Is causing
the packers to take the most of 'the ' half
fat cattle , which formerly went for feeders.
Representative sales :

BEEF
IIOOS There were ninety-one fresh loads of
hogs In the yards , or twrl\e more than > enter-
day and olxhl more than u week UKO. Under
the prevalllntf conditions buyers were n llttlo
Inclined to net the bear , but they wanted the
| IOK , and the most they were able to do waste
to render the market a very little eaulcr. fialei.
men , as a matter Qf courts , were ull wanting
fully steady or stronp prices , and In pome cases
they were a little Blow to let BO of their hold
ings , but for all that the boss moved iteadlly
toward the -scales , and an early clearance was
efTh ' < 8 eold .all the way from * 3.S2'.4e3.95 ,
the same a a yesterday. The Kreat bulk cold
nt | 3.t5 3.SO. tbe same as yeeterday , but the
proportion of sales at $3.85 was ullKhtly larger
today. The average of all the sale * was l',4c
lower than yesterday , but 9c higher than on
Monday , nn.l 77 o higher than a week ago.
