Local Cash Grain Market.
The demand for snot stuff for feeders and
for shipment continued, but the receipts
were very light, showing- the furmcrs are
too busy with their spring work to ship
any corn. The next movement from flrat
hands cannot well be expected before the
closlug days of the month. The market will
therefore probably run light. Prices on all
grains ruled steady to strong. . Reoolpts

CHICAGO. May 7. Growing weather In
the southwest today Was offset by retard
ing rains In the Red River valley. As a
result the wheat market held In equipoise.
Compared with laat night, July wheat
shows a loss of Vc. Corn Is up He. Oat a
are on il(V ana provisions, zvsttioc.
A fair degree of firmness was displayed
at the opening In wheat, the July delivery
being up a shade to Ufa'-iC. at 861&l614c,
The market closed steady with July at
StSc. Clearances of wheal and flour
were eritial to lto.500 bu. Primary receipt
were 170.0U0 bushels compared with 237, Jo0
Dti a year ago. Minneapolis, Duiuin ana
Chicago reported receipts of 12 cars
aealnst 104 cars last week and 178 a year
ago. . "
The easier tone In the wheat market
had a depressing effect on corn prices, but
there was sufficient support from pit
traders to prevent any loss. The close was
steady with prices at about the nest fig
ures of the day. July opened unchanged
to a shade higher at 4i,c to 48Vj48Hc,
sold between 4sc and 4SHc and closing at
the top. local receipts were 2vl cars with
14 of contract grade.
Selling of the July option by pit traders
under the leadership of a prominent long
cnused a small decline In oats. After open
ing unchanged to Ho lower ,at 2WSV!.
July sold between 3Jc and SSc. closing
at HKH-awSc Local receipts were 71 cars.
The feature of trading in provisions wus
the selling of July lard by a leadlnii
packer. The market was poorly supported,
and. In consequence, the entire list showed
a alight decline. Julv pork closed 10c lower
at $11 57V. Juiy lard and ribs were each
down 2V at f.0nQ6 62H. respectively.

Promise of Japanese Ian m Facter
Wklch Offers Sosae) Relief t
Idle Capital tke Comlasj
Week. 1
NEW YORK. May 7. Today's dealings
a conomon or neglect in tne
aioca market luliy equal to that whlca
prevailed before the Northern Securities
decision was handed down, and that bad
been unequalled for many years prevl-
wuoi. nianj- 01 tne most prominent stocks
In the list were not quoted at all until
near the close of the market and thon
were only dealt in single lots of loo shares.
r-nces sang rrom pure inanition and no
regard was paid lo any news. The de
pietion ot iu,4i'u,oeu in the surplus reserve
still leaves mat item at 122,724,200 compared
with $40,029,825 on this date last year and
$3,411, COO two years ago. The Japanese
man to come is among tne ractors whlcn
promises to give some relief from the
Idleness of large amounts of capital, which
nas snown signs ot some pressure for out
let in the railroad bond market. Inter
mlttent advices and declines from dav to
day have not been sufficient to carry the.
level 01 prices as much as a point awav
from last week's level at any time except
for a few stocks. The effect has been so
discouraging to operators that even the
professional traders have almost aban
doned their efforts.
The opening of the week found the Lon
don stock exchange closed for a holiday,
leaving a feeling of uncertainty as to how
that market would accept the news of
the serious Russian reverse on the Yalu
Which came to hand after last week's
closing of the market. The treasury's call
upon the hanks for additional deposits will
have the practical effect of withdrawing
the whole amount of the purchase price
lor tne canal rrom tne nanus, i ne ex
treme ease which has developed In the
world's money markets since the Panama
payment first came up for consideration
has prevented any disturbance by these
changes In the method. The placing of the
New York City bond issue of $J7,0ou,000, the
largest single block ever offered by the
city, was equally without disturbing effect
on the market. This operation was re
garded as encouraging for the securities
market by reason of the evidence afforded
of abundance of capital in the face of the
demand for railroad and other bonds and
securities. The Issue price of these bonds
was low compared with older issues, but
the advance In the price over the preceding
issue wns regarded as indicating a turn
for the better In the outlook for Invest
ment demand. The placing of half of the
xiii.wo,ixo Japanese loan in isew Torn is
taken us evidence In the same direction,
and the details of the Russian loan In
Paris define another of the uncertainties
before the financial world.
The export movement of grain arid cot
ton continues very light, thus Increasing
the requirements for gold exports.
Manufacturing exports are expanding,
especially those of Iron and steel, but not
sufficiently so either In volume or In price
to compensate for the ehrlnkage In do
mestic business. The number of liabili
ties of failures make -an iunfavorable com
parison with last year, and the large num
ber of small banking failures attract espe
cial attention. Dissatisfaction with the
Iron and steel trade outlook Is an Im
portant Influence on the prevailing dull
ness and hesitation of speculation. The
dissolution nf the Ressemer Ore associa
tion and of the United States Steel stockH
conversion syndicate have neipea to ae
press the United States Steel securities.
Railroad earnings, both gross and net, re
flect the falling off In traffic from last
year's level and the high level at which
operating expenses remain. The crop, news
has not proved stimulating to prices. The
tone of the bond market has -.been rather
better than stocks. . United State 3s reg
istered have declined , the 3s coupons,
the 2s and the old 4s and the new 48,
per cent on call during the week.

CA1TLE There were m-actlcaliv no fresh
arrivals of cattle in tne yards this morning.
For tna week supplies nave not been ex
cessive, as there is a decrease ae com
pared with last week amounting to about
v.uou Head, and as compared with the same
week of last year there is a failing oft ot
about 2,00u head. The supply, However, has
been lully equal to tne demand and the
tendency of prices has been downward
rather than otherwise.
The market on corn-fed steers has been
in fairly good shape most nf the week, but
Still packers have been rather hearten a r
all points. The export demand has not
been as brisk as tt was last week and pre
vious to that time, and that of course
affected the heavy cattle In nartlcular.
Such kinds are probably right around 10-Jp
ido tower man iney were at tne close or
last week. Cattle of all weights In fact
are that much lower unless very choice.
The light-weight cattle of good quality are
not over a uime lower as tne local aemena
for that class has been anod. Good tn
choice steers may be quoted from $4.60 to
$5.00, with something extra prime a little
above that. Fair to good grades go from
$4.00 to $4.50 and common to fair from $3.50
to $4.00.
The supply of butcher stock has been
llaht all the week, the bla bulk of the o.Ter.
ings being made up of steers. Choice
handy-weight cows and heifers have been
given the preference and such kinds are not
muon lower tnan tney were a week ago,
but heavy cows and the medium grades of
all weights are safely a dime lower. Can
ners ana tne commoner kinds ot cutters
were very alow sale toward the close of the
week and that class may be even more
than a dime lower. Good to choice cows
and heifers miiy be quoted from $3.25 to
$.1.90. with prime as high as 84.25. Fair to
good sell from $2.76 to $3.15 and canners and
cutters from $2 00 to $2.60. The season Is
close at hand when grass cows will begin
to appear and buyers are already beginning
to discriminate against the half-fat kinds,
fearing that they have had some grass.
The hull market has been fairly active
and fully steady all the week. The bulk
of them sell from $3 00 o $3.76 "it choice
ones as high as $4.00 and twnn-on stuff
goes from $3.00 down. Veal calves are
about 60c lower for the week owing to In
creased receipts at all polnte. The bulk of
them sell from $4.00 to $6.00, with a top at
$6.25 ggalnst a top of $5.76 a week ago.
The supply of etorkers and feeders has
teen rather limited all the week, and with
a fairly good demand from the country the
market nas been active on the better
grades, with prices strong. The common
rattle, however, of all weights have been
neglected and are certainly no more than
Steady. Medium-weight cattle that can he
run on grass during the summer and fed
next fall are In the greatest demand at the
present time. Good to choice grades may
he quoted from $8 75 to $4.00, with prime as
high as $4 2B. Fair to good sell from $3 50
to $3.78 and common kinds from $3.60 down.

HOGS There was a good run of hogs
here this morning for a Saturday, but pack
ers took hold freely and the market ruled
active and lust about steady with yester
day's general market. The prices paid
were hardly as good as those given at yes
terday's best time, but a little better tnan
st yesterday's close. The bulk of the good
weight hogs sold from $4 66 to $4.70 and as
high as $4.75 was paid. The lighter loads
went largely at $4.62 and from that down.
Trading was active and everything was
di.-poeed of at an early hour.
For the week receipts are about 16.000
head short of the big run of last week, but
as compared with the corresponding week
of last year they are a trifle heavier. Prices
have been fluctuating back and forth to
some extent, but closing prices nr about
2&5a higher than those In force a week
ago. Representative sales:

SHEEP There were two cars of the same
Colorado wooled lambs on sale this morn
ing that sold yesterday for $6.66. Aa they
brought tbe same price today and there
was nothing else on sale the market could
not be quoted anything but steady.
For the week receipts shew a loss of
about 3 000 head as compared with last
week, but a gain of about 6.000 head as
compared with the same week of last year.
In other words supplies have been liberal
for the time of year. Taking the .receipts
for the year to dste there Is an 'ncreae
over the same rerlcd of last vrar amount
ing to about l.lj.titO head. Those figures
show very plainly the rapid growtn of
Omaha's sheep market.
There is nothing new to be said of the
market for the Week In addition to what
was reported yesterday. The market shows
a loss of about a quarter on the general
run of both sheep and lamb, while choice
lambs are perhaps not over 15c lower, and
some of the best sheep may not be quite a
quarter lower. Packers claim thst prices
here have been ton high as compared with
other markets, and us there wss a decline
st other markets, local packers made us
of the opportunity to put prices here mote
nearly In line.

Bishop Daniel-A. Ooodsell of Chattanooga,
Tenn., who presided at the Now England
Methodist Episcopal conference In Spring
field, Mass., was talking of the small sal
aries which mlnlstors received and how
often they were financially embarrassed.
"I remember when I was a very small boy
that my father moved to Norwalk, Conn.,
and I first began to enjoy the pleasures of
life In the country. I secured the Job from
a neighboring farmer of driving tho rows
home from pasture every night, and ot tho
end of the week I received a quarter for
this service. And, do you know, I never
have felt slnco such a sense of financial
Independence as I did when I used to re
ctiho that weekly quarter." New York
Tribune.
