COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Bulli Stimulate Market Prices Up. ind Foro PROVISIONS COMMAND HIGHER PRICES Crop Dtmaif Reports and Short liar, trtl Annoinrrmtit from Okla homa and Kiaiu Aid Better Prices la All Grains. CHirAOO. Msrrh 24 Bullish ninnlpula tlons by speculators In all the pits oi the Board of Trade, aided somewhat by dam aire reports In winter wheat. Influenced strung and actlvs markets. May wheat and May oats 4e up. Provisions closed 541lOc to 224c higher. Corn strength easily ruled all grains and the corn pit led In activity. At the mart cables were higher, as compared to lower prices here yesterday. There was some early selling on wheat Influence!, but soon there started a bull movement In July corn that caused a sharp upturn In all corn options. There was some talk of a bull campaign to be worked In July corn and considerable Importance was attached to It Next In importance to this factor of the com advance, which was augmented by an Improvement In the cash corn situation, was the upturn In wheat resultant from crop damage In the winter wheat country. Local bulls started buying freely, commis sion houses followed suit and bears covered liberally. There was also some export busi ness reported, which had its bullish In fluence. The sentiment seemed to change entirely and nearly every trader wanted stuff. May corn opened HVc to 4 higher at 684e to 684fe58o, eased to KftfeltftHo. on weather reports and wheat selling, then spurted to bx?c Home of the advance waa lost, but It was solely due to the willing ness of early buyers to locate for liberal profits. May closed strong, l'o higher, at M4'sMc. Receipts were 124 cars. Aside from the com influence, wheat had 8 nod reasons nf Its own to advance o rices. irnlni conditions, such aa cables and small receipts, worsea ior tair eariy ad vances, but the "crop killer" once more became an active factor. True, there were bearish Influences at work early In rain reports and news of general spring wheat seeding. But the good weather lost Its effect when word was received from the president of the Kansas and Oklahoma drain Dealers" association, stating that Kansas would harvest only 60 per cent and Oklahoma only 40 per cent of a crop. Of late crop damage reports have had little consideration at the hands of speculators. Now, however, it seems that traders con sider the growth of the plants so far ad vanced that, whore farmers report the rrround being plowed over again, attention a given. Today's reports started a good advance, which was met by liberal offer ings. Then some of the big men bought, corn exerted Its Influence and shorts cov ered, sending prices up. Some profit-taking toward the close caused a loss of some of the advance, but throughout the session the tone waa excellent. May started 4c to Vc higher at 724c to 724e, eased to 724c and then worked up quickly to 73 734o. The close waa firm, May o higher, at 727ic. Local receipts were 30 cars, none of contrnct grade, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported IRS cars, or a total for the three points of 188 cars, against 290 last week and 381 a year ago. Prlmarv re ceipts were 39,000 bu., compared to 275.000 last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 123,000 bu. The export de mand was slack, the seaboard reporting only 14 loads taken. There was only a moderate trade In oats, hut the tone ruled firm, with other grains. Commission houses took some fair lines, though offerings were never on large scale. July and September were in 'better demand than May options. In the latter month there was some early weakness on an absence of demand. The farther months felt the strength of corn and wheat more than May. Although favorable weather for oats was a good bearish argument, the corn strength overbalanced it and the short side was not popular. The tone of the market was helped by the news that Kan sas City bids at the river were lc over Chicago's best bid on No. 3 white. May sold as low as 42c, advanced to 43'ic and cloaed firm, He up, at 42?c. Receipts were 88 cars. Covering of large short lines of pork was the principal bull factor in provisions. At the outset the same strong feeling that existed last week showed Itself again, hogs were commanding better prices at the yards and there was a good speculative demand for everything on the list. Offer ings were very small and the continent was reported bidding. Trading was heavter than usual in all lines. Commission houses bought freely for packers and bulls took lard and ribs. After a firm opening, prices advanced sharply. May pork gaining at one time S74e. Profit-taking late reduced the gains. Mar pork closed 22Hc up at $16.15, May lard 74fS?10c higher at l.7(39.72V4 and May ribs 10c advanced at $8,824. Estimated receipts for tomorrow!

The first named ranged up to 2 over last night and the copper stock to 1. Colorado Fuel lost the greater part of the gain on realizing during the latter part of the day, but Amalgamated re tained all but a small fraction. Minneapo lis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie was at one time up 4 points and the preferred 8. There was some nrmneas In one or two of the prominent railroad stocks, hut the tonri. ency of the general list waa lower. ine factors influencing the market were practically the same as those of yesterday.

Total 3,347 10.163 2,H5 CATTLE There was not a heavy run of cattle here today, and as all the puck ers were anxious for cattle, the market ruled active and strong on all desirable grades. Receipts Included a good many beef steers and the quality or the offer ings as a whole was very satisfactory, so that trade ruled active from start to finish and practically everything was out of llrst hands in good season. Buyers were all out early this morn ing looking for fat steers, and while some sales were made that were undoubtedly higher, the situation could probably best be described by calling the market active and steady to strong. There were quite a few cattle that were good enough to sell from $6.00 to $6.56, which shows that the quality of the offerings Is better than It was a short time ago, as would natu rally be expected. Although a good pro portion 01 me receipts mis morning con sisted of beef steers, there were none too many to meet the demand and the pens were cleared In good season. The cow market was in about the same shape as it has been for some time past. Anything at all desirable sold at what might be called fancy prices, as will be seen from the sales below. It does not take a very choice cow now to sell at $5.00, while an occasional sale reaches $6.00 The medium grades of cows and cannerq are not selling much better and, In fact, sales men find It hard to dispose of that class of cattle. Packers do not care, whether they get the commoner grades or not, and as a result sellers have to take whatever they can get. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold at good steady prices today where the quality was at all satisfactory. There were not very many stockers and feeders on sale today, so that the better grades sold rreely at fully as good prices as were paid yesterday. When It came to the common stuff, however, the market was far from being active and no more than steady. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. At. Tr. No. At.

The market opened about hr lower, hut under the In fluence of a good demand the market grew stronger and the loss was Just about re gained. Trading was active after the first round, so that evervthins' was nut of first hands in good season. The quality of the hogs was not as good today as It wm yesterday, so that the market on naner does not look as high as it really was. There was not much change today In the range of prices, for the bulk of the sales. The heavier loads sold largely from $6.40 to $6.60. Medium welahts went from 16.30 to $6.40. and the llirhter loaria solil from $6.30 down. Representative sales: No. Av. 8h. Pr. No. Av. 8h. Tr. ...
