CHICAGO , May . The most excltlni
market since the Franco-Prussian war wa
witnessed In the wheat pit today on th
Chicago Board of Trade. An advance o
14 7-8c n btt. wan Reared In the native op
tton , July. The market reacted only 1
from the highest point , July closing strom
at"JI.20U. . May wheat rose to $1.75 and fin
Ished at the top , a net aln of 8c. The re
cent sharp advance In May was Inslgnifl
caiit In comparison with today's bulge I
.July. Bids had frequently to' bo advance
2c or 3d on the execution of B single ordci
A sensational advance at Liverpool , ovc
'l2e for-July , started the Chicago markc
, nnd utter the start there was trpparcntl
no stopping. Corn advanced 2c , oats it
pork 27c , lard 7c , ribs 2c.
The Liverpool , wheat market today ex
celled all previous efforts at startling nil
vnnces by opctilng 7d higher for May an
from 7d to 9d for July , compared with Sat
urduy'B closing figures. That set the Ch !
cngo wheat pit Into n roar of nervous c >
cltement nt the opening. All sorts of prlri
wc-rr paid for July simultaneously In dll
ferent parts of the pit. It was Imposslbl
for n few minutes to get an Idea of whti
lirlco was predominating , but after a whll
the opening range , as near ns could h
found out. was given nt from S1.09H t
SI.10- % . Trading between those limits WH
enormous for two or three minutes , bt
buying orders without limit to price poiirc
in from outside and the price leaped 111
ward In great bounds , touching SI.14 fc
nn Instant. The market rebounded (
II.lift. Shorts saw that their only chant
to recoup was by doubling and price we
no object. Up shot quotations ngali
touching J1.1G , ten minutes after the opei
ing. Another reaction to S1.13V4 followei
but offerings were readily absorbed an
the market gradually settled down arotin
SI.15. Trading In May began nt gcfadvanc
Leltcsr sold a little nt $1.75 , caudtig a n
nctlif.l to $1.70 , which was quickly reco\
crod. The usual statistical figures wei
utterly disregarded. Local receipts wei
312 cars , against nine a year ago. Mlnni
upollx and Duluth received 42S cars , con
pared with 41) n year ago. The world
xhlpments were 9,775,000 bu. last wee ;
Indian contributing 1G5S. < X und Ilusal
3.912,000 bu. gf the total. The ijomestlc vl :
Iblo dccrrased only 735,000 bu. , against 2,650
GO1) bu. last year. Primary western ma
kcts received U2S.OOO bu. . compared wll
3TO.COO' bu. the corresponding day of 1SS
The English visible supply Increased 239,0
bu. The quantity on ocean passage wt
BfiC.OOO bu. smaller than a weuk ago. Afti
a brief rest at $1.15 the buying furore wi
renewed. The wild scramble of Europcc
nations for American breadstuffs appean
to bo conclusively shown by the announc
mcnt of fresh bids to Loiter for 2,000.0
bu. of rod wheat. Up to the close ho be
not accepted the offer , but reported otlv
Bales of 350,000 bu. to go abroad. Llverpo
market nt the close showed gains of I
for spot and 8 7-M/9d / for futures. Par
nnd Antwerp accentuated the Kuropet
shortage by advancing 5c each. Near tl
end of the session offerings became scarri
than over and July rushed up to $1.21' '
easing off nt the close to J1.20'/t. Septer
ber , which sold early nt E9c , was rushi
tip to 95c and closed 7c net higher nt 9l'/i
No failures were reported on 'change , b
margin calling was sharp.
Corn was active and shorts covered fr < -
ly , with the strength of wheat as nn I
cpiitlve. May gained 2 3-Sc , July 2c. U
celptH were heavy , ti78 cars nt Chicago , in
weather' ' was favorable. Seaboard clea
anccs wore 879,000 bu. The visible supp

GENERAL Today's receipts of stocli
numbered 218 cars , as acalnst 229 on Sat
urday , 202 one week ago and eighty-live
ono year ago. In other words , today f
receipts showed up exceedingly well It :
comparison. The showing , however , wet
better on paper than in reality , ai
twenty-nine cars of sheep , which went tt
make Up the total arrivals , were shipped
out last night , so that the total offerings
were considerably less than 100 curs.
The tendency of prices was lower or
cattle , but unchanged on sheep and hogs.
CATTLE There were a few less cuttu
here than a week ago , but double the
number hero on any Monday of last month
The most of the cattle wore cornfet' '
steers , In fact almost all of them would
come under that head. The market us c
whole was slow , and It was late before c
clearance was effected owing to the uiv
favorable advices from eastern markets
which were reported lower with a goot
many beeves In sight.
At this point tnore appeared to be a fall
demand , but buyers , without exception
seemed to feel that last week's prices wen
too high and that they must have a coiv
cession. The Inquiry , however , for hand )
little native cattle was so good that buy.
ers were willing to pay about steady prlcei
for that kind , and the market was noi
very much different from what It was ai
the close of last week. Heavy cattle wer <
generally office lower and slow at the de
cllne. The heavier the cattle and tin
coarser the heavier the decline.
Only about a dozen loads of cows am
heifers were on sale , and ns there wai
about the usual demand , the market dh
not show much change. In fact , deslrabli
heifers were active sellers , and the offer
Ings were not long In finding takers
Good cows also sold well , and the offer
Ings of butchers' stock were all taken li
good season.
In the .stacker and feeder market thcr
was almost nothing doing owing to thcr
being no cattle hero of any Importnnc
except half fat stuff , As Is apt to be th
' case when the beef market Is bad , buyer
' of feeders did not take bold very active ) :
1 of the half-fat cattle and the feeling wa
weak. Buyers claimed that there were ;
good many orders in hand for good llgh
stock cattle , and that if they were to b
had they would sell well. Roprcscntatlv
sales :

HOGS There were fifty-two cars of hoi
? In then yards' today as against thlrty-s
J ono'we elf ago , flfty-nino two weeks m
\ and twontymlno three weeks ago. Tl
average receipts for Monday last wei
were thirty-four cars , so that today's rt
U large for the first day of the week.
The quality of the hogs today was f l
and while some ulalmed that the averui
was just as good as Saturday , others , ut
among them buyers , claimed that the
were more rough and trashy hags amoi
the offerings.
The market opened fairly active wl
local packers- good buyers , nnd the offc
ings for the post part changed hands car
in the morning. The prices paid were Ju
about the same ns prevailed on Saturela
that is. the market was Just about stem
on all kinds :
The great bulk of the hogs sold at J3.S !
3.90. the same as on Saturday , but the pr
portion ot salea above J-7.90 may not ha
been quite so large as It was on the la
day of last week. For that reason son
of the buyers were able to report tlu
droves as costing a little lemi today , b
they claimed that the quality made up f
the difference In price.
Higs sold today a shade lower than o
wock ago , 15c higher than two weeks ni
nnd 15f(20o ( higher than a year ago , Repr

8HKKP According to the figures on thi
board there were forty-one cars of sheo ]
In the yards today , m against twcnty-nlm
ono week ago and eight a year ago. Tin
figures representing todAy's receipts , now
over , were somewhat deceiving , ns twenty
nine of the cars supposed to be In were li
reality only hatted her'e yesterday for. foci
and were shipped on Inst night. In rcallt :
only twelve fresh loads wrro In the yard
this morning , nnd of that number thrr
were consigned direct to puckers nnd wer
not offered for sale. The car * shipped ou
yesterday were nil Colorado lambs , and n
n seller remarked , the Including of ther
among the day's receipts may oe a gooi
thing In the way of booming the velum
of business at this point , but that It Is i
bad thing for the market , ns Chicago sheo
men , looking nt the reports nnd sceln
such largo receipts at Omaha and at th
same time good run : * at other wester
markets , llguro that the Chicago receipt
will bo larger In the next day or two , an
down goes the price , when In reality ther
Is no great number on sale.
Today's demand for mutton sheep wa
good nnd tlio yearlings mot with quit
wiily sale at Just about last week's prlcei
The majority of the nine loads In the yard
consisted of Colorado lambs , which wor
not offered for sale , at least not durlti
the morning hours so that there was nc
much opportunity to test the market. I
would bo safe to say that good lambs , ha
there been any hero for sale , would probn
bly have brought about steady prlcei

NEW YORK , May 9. No marked dispo
sition to trade marked today's dry goo.Is
market. The market for cottons Is less
Interesting. Aside from the lines of goods
Included in the needs of the government ,
there has been little movement lately. In
some of these lines the movement has not
been so heavy as was expected. Staple
goods are generally quiet and weak. The
weakness Is based on the print cloth mar
ket , which Is still In a demoralized condi
tion. Brown goods for domestic consump
tion are quiet In many grades. Brown
sheetings and drill , subject to an export
demand , are relatively stronger , but are
still capable of Improvement. Bleached
cottons are dull and without feature.
Coarse colored goods show no change In
any grade , but being ns n. rule well sold
up , are relatively stronger than other sta
ple goods. Print cloths are still quoted at
1 7-8o for regulars , but there Is no trading
at this price. Printed goods arc without
change.
