CHICAGO, Mny 4. Wheat opened firm
today on strength In the cables and higher

weaker tone and cloned -aoy. with July
Sc lower. Corn averaged lower. In sym
pathy, July at the close being olT 'ric.
Oats rule" weak, with July down S;uc,
while provisions were Irregular.
Selling by pit traders caused weakness In
wheat aoon after the opening, wnich wm
a shade lower for July at 'itii3r.. but
there wi,a sufficient Blattered demand by
Khorla and commission houses to cheeK
the decline In a measure,, and after selling
down to 724c, July closed y, lower, at
'iIVs'gHc. The linprssflon that Armour
was selling through hrokera, although an
open buyer of July, together with numerous
no damage crop reports, brought about the
rurh to sell, Receipts were a little larger
and weather reports Improved and thoee
also had their Influence. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 224 cars, which,
with local receipts of 62 cars, two of con
tract grade, made total receipts for the
three points of Z76 cars, against 328 last
week and 315 a year ago. JTImary receipts
were 629.H43 bu., against 413.76!) a year ago.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equol
to 464.6.10 bu. , ,
Corn was weak and slow, with local
bears the principal seller, and commission
houses doing the buying, l,ck of demand,
more than any other Influence, caused the
loss In prices, although Increased receipts
and favorable weather were bearish In
fluences, and July closed "nfic lower at
44V-. after ranging between 4c and 414c.
Local receipts were -.22 cars, with 16 of con
tract grade.
The better weather Induced selling by
local longs In ots and as a result the
market showed weakness, with prices lower.
The market was rather duli and the de
mand small. July closed V&c lower at
314'a31V'. after selling off from 32Sc to
J14c. Local receipts were ISO cars.
The action of May pork unsettled pro
visions and bothered the trade. Prices on
other products were about steady and
showed an advancing tendency. Packers
are credited with buying pork for future
delivery and July showed an advance of
74c at the close at $17.15. Covering by
shorts at the .start caused on advance of
2fiift75c In May, the opening price being
tlx BOW19.00. Realising soles later caused a
decline from the high figure and the close

Firm at Top Level.
NEW YORK, May 4. Prices advanced
quite decisively In today s stock market
and closed firm at the top level. In fact
there was no appreciable reaction at any
time during the day and the advancing
tendency gained somewhat In force as ths
day progressed. The market was still al
most wholly professional and decidedly
lacking of animation, but the day's busi
ness waa considerably greater than on last
Friday, which was the lowest thus far for
the year. The rise in prices was not due
to any specific news development, but was
based rather on the conviction In the minds

r"ATTIJ-i There waa auite a liberal run
of cattle here this morning and, as other
points were also well aupplled, the tendency
of prices was downward at all polnta.
Trading, though, was fairly active at the
decline, so the bulk of the offerings waa
disposed of In good season.
A larger proportion or tne receipts man
usual was made up of beef steers this
morning and the general market could be
quoted about V10c lower than the close of
last week. The greatest decline was on
the heavy cattle, while tne nanoy wetgnts
f good nean and quality in a good many
cases were only .a , trine lower, t-acaera
seemed to want the eattle and simply took
dvantage ot tne liberal . receipts to ouy
them for leas money..
There were not very many cows ana neii-
ers Included in the offerings, so the market
held about steady. In some cases salesmen
were calling the market a little lower, but
as a general thing anything desirable sold
In last week's notches. Owing to the mod
erate offerings everything was disposed of
in good season.
Bulls were in good demand and prices
showed no particular change. Veal calves
also commanded steady prices.
Speculators did not takr nold or stockers
and feeders any too freely and as a result
prices were, if anything, a little lower than
thev were last Friday. The good cattle
seemed to be a little lower as well as the
common kinds. There were not very many
on sale. thouKh, ao salesmen did not meet
with much difficulty in disposing of what
arrived. Representative Miles:

HOOS There -was a fair supply of hogs
In sight this morning for a Monday, hut
quite a few of them were consigned direct
to local packers. Early reports trom other
points were unfavorable, ao buyers started
In here to pound the market. They did not
get many hogs though, and finally the
market became Just about ateady with
Saturday. Toward the cloae It looked as
tnougn packers were not going to get
enough hogs to supply their wants and
some hogs sold a little stronger. The gen
eral market though was Just about steady
with the clore of last week. Tho bulk of
the hogs sold from $6,724 to 26.7Y4 and as
man aa to.Bi) waa nam. rcvervtmnar waa
disposed of before the middle of the fore
noon. Representative sales:

IS CORNERED
The most important question before the speculative
and investment public today is whether the high point on
May Wheat will be $1.40 or whether my famous $2.00 pro
diction of August 11th will be fulfilled. July wheat will
isell above $ 1.00 and September will sell in the OO's.
Monday's issue of the RED LETTER contain
beyond question the most profitable forecast ever published.
It will go into detail, explaining fully why the present
Wheat deal will prove the most gigantic and sensational
in the history of the pit. The reverse side of the letter
will also contain an article on the great inducements of
fered to those who invest in
WALL STREET
and the coming Bear deal in Cotton futures.

"THE POT OF GOLD"
Never before in the history of American mining has so much publlo Interest beer
taken and expressed as In Thunder Mounts! n, Idaho (geographically described by Wil
liam Allen White, In a recent issue of the " Saturday Evening Post." as "The Pot of
Gold") And never before has such an oppo rtuity been offered as now presented by
THE "SOUTH DEWEY" MINING CO.. Ltd.
which in the strictest and broadest sense Is a legitimate investment not a mere pros
pect. The property consists often full mining claims (208 acres) Immediately ad
joining the great "Dewey" mine, whose fabulous richness the most skeptical dare not
deny. Stock In the "Dewey" (original par value $1.00), Is now held at $8.00 per share,
and none for sale. The "South Dewey" being located on the same great ledge, and ad
joining the "Dewey," known throughout, the district as the "Dewey" dyke and having
the same ore body, can justly claim to equal, if not surpass In value the original
"Dewey" (when the same amount of development work haa been done) since It Is
one-third larger In area. The ore Is free milling and assays an average of $6.11 to
the ton, with occasional pockets running very much higher. Low grade, free mllll'ig
ores are the most permanent aa well as the most profitable, for the reason that they
can be converted into bullion at a cost of $1 to $1.60 per ton. To continue the devel
opment work already done, as well as to purchase the necessary machinery for thor
oughly equipping the property, we have decided to place a limited amount of Treas
ury Stock on sale at 10 cents per share. The first ten stamp Installment of our hun
dred stamp will be shipped Aug. 15, 1903, and we feel fully warranted in believing that
we can earn dividends within 30 days from the time our mill is running. We own tho
property outright. There are no salaried officers. The stock (par value $1.00) is
non-assessable, with no personal liability. The present allotment now offered at 10 '
cents will be advanced from time to time, aa may be decided upon by the Board of
Directors.
. The time to make money in any enterprise Is between its organisation and its first
dividend. Before purchasing stock we want you to write for our prospectus, giving
full particulars of our property, together with a most Interesting description of "Thun
der Mountain," which conservative investors admit is destined to become the greatest
gold mining camp the world has ever known.
