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! Wheat,
26 cars; corn, 130 cars; oats, 76 cars; hogs,
40.ono head.

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:

liberal this morning, which makes the
supply for the three days this week con
siderable In excess of the same days of
last week or of last year. 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.

to $6.60. Medium welahts went from 16.30

bunch of clipped lambs here today that
sold at $6.05. while some spring lambs sold
as high as $11. 00. A bunch of ewes sold at
$5.10, the same as were sold here a few

msrket news was quiet, as expected, and
few buying orders from any quarter made
their appearance. But early In the after
noon the bull "clique" became an active
buyer of the remote position and this led
to a small scramble of room shorts for
cover. This combined demand sent prices
up 10tfi20 points with a rush. The market
held the rise all through the last hour and
closed firm at a net advance of 10fT20 points.
