There was a more lively demand for
spring lines last week than for some little
time past. Country merchants reported
trade aa being the best of the season and
Omaha jobbers also did a nice business
both direct and through traveling men.
Aa anticipated It seems to have taken only
a few warm days to materially reduce
merchants' slocks and cause them to send
In liberal sortlng-UD orders. According to
all reports thnt l.ave been received haster . n.Vcrcly punbhed In the past, handling Just
trade with merchants has been fully up to mich a crop a last years and are exercs
ixpwtatlnna and In' most cases has been inK caution now ao as to escape being left
considerably heavier than anticipated.

try collection with Jobbers have shown a I
marked Improvement during the last week
or ten days, so that practically not com-
filalnts ere now heard on thnt score. Were
t not for the difficulty that wholesalers
are having to get the goods fast enough to
meet the requirements of their customers I
there would be no comnlainta of any kind. I
The worst of It le Jobbers say there seems I
to oe no prospect or any reiier as long as
the demand km p up, and In fact the situ- I
atlon seems to be trowing worse every I
month. At present the labor difficulties in I
the east are materially reducing proline-
tion and In that way putting manufactur- I
ers fnrther And further behind with their I
orders. This shortage Is not confined to
any one particular claas of goods, but to I
the majority of manufactured articles. I
Owing to the limited supdIv of desirable I
lines of manufactured goods prices are of I
course very firm, with the tendency un-
doubtedly upward. Those who are best
prated on the general situation say that

that any changes In the near future will

Dowa.
CHICAGO, April 11. Wheat waa the
center of attraction on the Board of Trade
today and as a result of the manipulation
which had been In progress the past week
the May option declined ia and July 8Hc,
but rallied later. May closing Vc lower
and July down lVc. May corn closed a
shade higher, with oats unchanged, while
provisions were from 2Vic lower to 120
higher.
There was wild excitement in the wheat
Pit at the atart and every broker appeared
to have buying orders, the general impres
sion being that the Armour people were
going to send the price etlll higher. The
leader of the bulls was a fair buyer at
the opening and with a big demand from
shorts the price of May advanced to 77c,
after opening a shade lower to HVHc
higher at ibBTsC, while July advanced
to 7itiC, after opening at TP aTc. This
appeared to be exactly what the Armour
Interests were waiting for, and with a big
demand for both the May and July de
liveries, the big bull turned seller, hoping
to be able to dltipose of most of his holding
at a good profit. The change In tactics,
however, was quickly noticed by the watch
ful crowd and the selling became general,
so much so that the price broke sharply,
May selling off to 74Ho and July to 6Hc.
Thla waa tne signal for a letup in the sell
ing pressure on the part of the prominent
long, and with this interwt out of the deal
the market became quieter. A fair demand
from commlstilon huusea and shorts soon
brought about a partial rally and the mar
ket. waa quite steady the remainder of the
session. May oioeed i'&'Jic lower at 760.
July waa off lHc at 70V ""4c. Clearings of
wheat and flour were equal to. 768,000 bu.
Bradstreet's report of exports of wheat
and nour ror the week snowed z.&a.wu ou
, . , I . C.A.A k..
against 236.0W a year ago. Minneapolis ad
Liuluth reported receipts of 8S3 cars, which,
with local receipts of 49 cars, none of con
tract arade. made total receipts for the
three points of 442 cars, against 25U last
week and IKft a vear aao.
There was little Interest manifested .in
corn and trading war dull and featureless.
Commission houses sold July, but there was
enough demand from scalpers and brokers
to prevent any serious decline. The break
in wheat had little effect on corn and the
close was steady with May a shade higher
at 42c. Local receipts were 188 cans, with
none of contract grade.
- Oats were easy at the start, owing to
liquidation by leading longs, but covering
by shorts caused a firmer feeling. The
volume of trade waa email. May closed un
changed at S2H(f?32Hc, after selling between
82c and S2fc82c. Local receipt were
261 cars. - .
There was a fair demand for lard and
ribs throughout the day, which tended to
maintain a steady undertone in provisions,
although nork was weak on selling by
commission houses. May pork closed IV40
lower at I17.62H. May lard a shade higher
at 9.?Ei30.t(7H and ribs 124c higher at 19.824.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
SO cars; corn. 105 car; oats, US care; bourn,

CATTLE Receipts of cattle thla weelt
have been fairly liberal, na will be ureii
from the table above. The increase over
last week Is but slight, but as compared
with the corresponding week of last year
there Is an increase amounting to over 2,001
head.
The beef steer market has been In very
satisfactory condition ail the week. On
Monday and Tuesday the market was a
little lower than the close of the previous
week, but since that time the demand, haa
been very active and the general tendency
of prices has been upward on all kinds re
gardless of weight. As compared with
Monday the advance amounts to fully lb'if
Hoc. The quality of the cattle, on sale hai
been better than of late, which, together
with the advance in prices, has made tne
market, on paper, look much higher. Tha
top price ot the week was $5.00 and ih
bulk of the fair to good cattle sold from
(4.60 to $4 80, with the choicer grades golnj
from $4.80 to fj.OO.
The cow market has also been in very
satisfactory condition, and, with the ex
ception of the first of Ihe week, the general
tendency haa betn upward 'ihe handy
weight cows and heifers of good qua lty
are probably fully 10 16c higher for tho
week. Cannera and the commoner kinds of
cutters have been slow snla all the week
and are certainly no higher and the me
dium claas of cows, such as sell around
$3.50, are not much, If any, higher, though
they have sold freely all the week. Can
nera are selling largely from $2.00 to $2.76,
fair to good cows from $3.1) to $3.75 and
the good to choice- from $3.75 to $4.40, and
as high as $4.85 was paid for one head.
Bulls of good quality have also been
ready sellers all the week and have ad
vanced about the same as cows. The bulk
of the bulls are telling from $3.00 to $3.75,
with choice grades from i.7u to $4 00.
Calves have been In brlak demand all the
week at steady prices, the better gradea
selling from $6.00 to $6.50.
There has not been the activity to the
atocker and feeder market thla week that
characterized the trade laat week. The
strictly fancy cattle are about steady, but
all others are lower and in extreme case
the decline amounts to as much as So.
I Fancy cattle have been selling up to $4.70,
from $4-00 to H.w. rteprepeniauve aales:

nere today, but the general market . was
2 4 'a 5c lower, although a few good I a is
sold early that were not much. It any,
lower. Trading waa not very active at any
ttme. but as tne receipts were very llgnt.
practically everything was dijyj'ed of In
food season. The lightweight a U largely
rom $7.10 to $7.15, medium weight from $7.15
to I7.;2H. with the good lit a vies from
$7.22H to 17.3. .
"or tne ween receipts nave neen very
light, as there Is a decrease as compared
with last week of about 7.000 hpad, and aa
compared, with the same week of last year
the falling off amounts to about 11.000 head.
The market haa held very nearly ateady
ill the week, being up i'tC one nay and
down the next, but today's decline carries
the market to tne low point or ne week
and also to the low point since March SO.

SHEEP There were practically no aheep
on sale today, ao a test of the market waa
not made. For the week, however, auppllea
have been very liberal, aa there is an In.
crease over last week amounting to over
1,0 M head and aa compared with the corre
sponding week of last year the gain
amounts to over 1?,000 head. Although sup
plies have been very liberal the better
grades nave been scarce,
Aa compared with the close of last week
the strictly choice grades of sheep and
lamba are lust aboit steady, but owlna to
the big run of the half-fat kinds that class
has suffered badly. The decline for the
week amounts to 'JSuTc and trading has
been very alow at tne-decline. 11 u vers
though, seem to be anxious for the good
kinds and anything answering to that de
scription sella about aa soon aa offered
A large proportion of the receipts are now
made up of slipped stock, which on the
average soils about fine below the wooled
atock of the same quality, but in extrema
casea tne airrerence la still greater
The demand fur feeders baa been rather
limited thla week and prices have been on
the down srade. The very beat aradea. of
course, have not Buffered aa much as the
common kinds, but all of them are a good
una lower man tney were a wee a aso.

RUN TO COVER
Legitimate Turf Investments Can Be
Conducted Profitably as Well
as Honorably.
Since th. recent defalcation of unscrupulous alleged lnveatment companies
It haa been up to the Star & Crescent Co. to reclaim the good name of tho
turf and prove to the world that at leaat one company exists that will act
honestly and deal fairly with all of its subscribers. Our continuous sub
scribers have earned average weekly profits through their lnveatment with Ua
which have surprised them beyond measure. During tha months of winter
racing we earned as high as
01,600.00 ONE MONTH
for our subscribers, and this through the simple commission of $20.00 on each
of our sneclals dallv.
Now that the regular racing season In the west has commenced, we have
concentrated our efforts at th. ...
MEMPHIS MEETING
That w. will continue to earn profits as great, or even greater, for our
clientele is evidenced by our first week's operation at Memphis, we having
had seven winning specials, earning a net profit of
2 PER CENT THE FIRST WEEK
on th. original amount Invested for our subscribers. W. expect to do even
better than thla the coming fortnight.
OUR METHOD
Unlike the methods of the concerns referred to above, our subscribers are
safeguarded to the extent of being notified in advance of the race the name
of the horaea their commissions are placed on. Dally reports are forwarded,
showing the profits earned the previous day. On Monday ef each week we
render an Itemised atatement for the prevloua week, at the aame time en
closing a check for whatever profit a may have accrued, less 6 per cent, which
Is our commlalon for executing nrdera. Accounts can be withdrawn In part
or in full at any time. We have one apecial dally, semetlmes two, no
more. For full particular WR1TB FOR OUR BOOKLET.
