Indication of their remaining that way
throughout the season.
Collections are reported- as being ln bet

Wholesale grocers report the demand for
their Hue ot goods aa being rather light
last week, owing to the severe weather,
which kept people at home. An excep
tionally heavy uornand, though, la looked
tor aa soon as weather conditions become
more favorable,
The market on most lines Is m,uch the
same aa It waa a week ago. In tha case of
sugar, however, the situation is rather
lcullur, reHners having reduced tha price
of all grades of refined 10c per 100 pounds.
It is generally understood that thia re
uuotlon Is not due to any weakness, but
waa made by the refiners for the purpose
of forcing down prices an raws, ,
The cullee market has also been more or
less unsettled. - As compared with a Week
ago ruling prices are about 10 to 15 points
lower.' It la claimed that large holders are
buying very freely on every break and
that the 'reductions that have been made
were hrought about by heavy receipts in
New York, together with a limited demand
from Interior jobbers. Those who clulm to
be ln touoh with general conditions through
out the world are of the opinion that atill
higher prices will be experienced, but, of
course, the market may ease off a few
points more before the reaction seta in.
The cheese market Is very strong and
stocks of October made gooda are reported
aa being exceedingly light. Present prices
are 1 cent per pound higher than those in
force abOMt January 1. It Is possible that
still higher prleee will rule, but, of course,
high price curtail consumption to a greater
or leva extent. The general belief, (hough,
seems to be that owing to the fact that
etofUs are much lighter than a year ago
that prices will advance from I to t cents

CHICAOO Fsb. H.-vMleged poor condi
tion of the French wheat crop was lnrg ly
the basis for firmness in the wheat maiket
here today. At the close wheat prices were
up HV'. Corn also shows a aam of S'ti
Vc. Oats are tip i$4c. Provisions are
practically unchanged.
Strength in the wheat market was man
ifested from the start, opening quotations
on May being up Ht'gc to 'c at l.
l.l to tl.lrt-Y July was unchanged to 'o
higher at $l .ti l.W-j,. The flrmnos was
due to higher cables and to small receipts
in tho northmfSt. The main feature of
cable reports was en advance of d nt I-lv-rpool.
This advance was said to be the
risult of a bullish report on French wheat,
the condition of the crop bring represented
as decidedly poor, offerings In the pit
were extremely light throughout the entire
day. In ronsequenco the volume of bURine
was very small. Primary receipts today
were less than half the number that sr
rived the corresponding day a year ago.
The decrease In movement from the farms
had considerable to dn with an Improved
demand from shorts late In the day. In
response to this buying the market beramo
3 ults strong, May advniKtng to fi ll mid
uly to l.ofi. Btrength of corn had also
some Influence on tracers in the wheat pit.
"''he market closed almost at the highest
iOlnt of the day with May at 1.1i'.Tf. K1:ial
quotations rn July were it tl.iVi i.mii.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to IHMOO bu. rrlmary receipt ts were Sin.-
bu.. compared with IM.WO bu. a year
ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and t'hirego re-
fiorted receipts of 1HS cars, tigalnat 133 cars
asl week and 494 cars a year ago.
Considerable activity centered In the corn
pit and prices made good gains. Notwith
standing the big reduction In freight rates,
receipts were very light, with no promise
of enlargement in the near future. The
small arrivals were the chief source of
strength. Shorts werii active bidders
throughout the entire day. The market
closed almost at the highest point of the
session. May opened n ha!e to 'I'fi'.r
higher st 46446c. and nold between 45H
i4f4c and 4'tirrj4il.4c. and closed at 4(i14)c.
Ixical receipt! were 24 cars, none of con
tract grade.
The strength of wheat and corn had a
bullish erTect on the oats market. Shorts
were moderste buyers. May opened u,
changed nt Wc. nold up to 9uTc and clcsed
at ;i(it'Tc. Ixcnl receipts wese Kg ears.
Provisions were benefited to some extent
by the strength of corn nnd by a he rise In
the price of live hogs. The vulunie of busi

elgn wools continue to uccumulate, about
the only movement In them being In deliv
eries of wools bought on manufacturer'
orders. All the largo users are well sup
plied. Reports from the wool industry are
favorable and machinery was never so well
occupied, but Influential factors are well
covered with raw material. The shipments
of wool from Boston to date from December

CATTLE There were only a low ounoncs
of cattle In the yards this morning and not
enough with which to make a test of th
market. For the week receipts have been
liberal considering the bad weather and a
slight Increase is noted over last week, with
a gain of about 4,0u0 head aa compared with
the same week ot last year.
The demand for the more desirable grades
of beef steers has been fully equal to the
supply all the week and such klnde can
safely be quoted Steady with the close of
lust week. The tendency, however, has
been to neglect the common to medium
kinds and such classes are about PXau&u
lower than they were a week ago. The bulk
nf the offerings has been of only fair qual
ity, so that packers had a good opportunity
to break prices on that kind. Good to
choice steers may be quoted from $5.00 to
$5.60, fair to good $4.26 to $4.90, gnd the com
moner kinds from $4.16 down.
The better grades of cows and heifers
have been In active demand and have sold
at good, steady prices all the week. The
name as with steers, however, the common
and medium kinds have been more or less
neglected and can be quoted about 10igl53
lower than at the close of last week. There
has been a good deal of unevennesa on such
kinds all the week, so that some sales have
looked much better that) others, but on th
average sales show a loss of 'about 10&I5C
except on the better grades. Good to choice
cows and heifers are quotable from $3.00 lo
$4.26; fair to good $2.40 to $3.u0, and tanners
and cutters $1.50 to $2.40.
Bulls are a little lower for the week ex
cept the good to choice grades, which are
about steady. They sell all the way fronj
$2.25 to 13.60. Veal calves are unchanged,
best grades selling up to $5.60.
Oood heavy feeders may be quoted active
nnd steady for the week, such Kinds selling
from $8.76 to $4.1:5; light cattle huve bten
very slow sale and are 16k5u lower for the
week and hard to sell at the price. This Is
owing to the heavy fall of snow, which
makes It Impractical to turn the cattle In
the cornfield". Medium weight cattle, or
those under 800 pounds, are oelling largely
from $3.00 to $3.50, with common stuff from
$3 down.

HOQB-There was a moderate run of hogs
here tnis morning and prices held up in
quite a satisfactory manner. At tne open

irom strong to eo higher hi exlieme cases.

Strong. Later on iney were sllli mora boar
Isli uud sxime sales looked weak as oum
pureu wlih - yesierduy. Trading was not
very active and the slow arrival ot trains
also delayed tne market, so thai it was lai
before anything like a clearance was made,
For the week receipts of hogs show a lib
eral Increase over luat weeit, but not much
change from the same weea of last yt-ar.
The table above will show the eact figures.

SHEEP 1 her v.ire 54 cars of sheen re.
ported this morning, but all but 7 cars
were part fat stuff, which was billed
through to eastern feed lots, of the ;
oars, i were ewes sold to arrive at $5.15
and $ cars of ewes sold on the market
for $4.90. The market could not be quoted
anything but sternly, with all desirable
grades In good demand.
For the week receipts show a slight In
crease u.nh over last week and the corre
sponding week of last year, owing to the
llberul run this morning. The demand has
been very active all the week and, In fact,
hits beeri In excels of the supply, so that
the tendency of prices has been upward.
As ccmpsred with a week ago the market
can saiely be quoted 15c to 26o hlghr.
which carries prices to the high point of
the season to date. It is also to be no
ticed that the prices paid here have been
the highest on U.c river und right up with
Chicago.

The wheat wes better today. The specu
lative market opened up raiucr strong and
the bullish report on the French crop had
some Influence tu strengthen It. The May
reached $1.17 for high point, this being
up from the high point of Friday. The
July also gaineu something and the Sep
tember went up ic over tho best of Krlday.
The near futures weakened 01T a little at
the close, but tho September was high,
Berlin closed with a H point decline.
Huda Pesth was stationery and I"arts waa
from unchanged to 4o up. Liverpool showed
Some MreiigOi.
The cash wheat markets were fairly active.

Tho snow has been general and heavy lit
South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas,
Mlsasoiirl and Nebraska. It Is a bearish
feature of the situation, as It forecasts a
good winter wheat crop. Broomhall eetl"
mates the world a shipments for Monday
at about $,8CO,000 bushels, with Europe
taking the 8.000,000. '1'hls is a little de
crease from the last report. He eSvtlmatee
4.000.000 bushels afloat for the United King
dom and continent. Ijist year It was

Including Chicago, show a considerable de
crease, being 185 today, 229 last week and
494 last year.

He W. H. Hartlctt Is putting out a line of
bull arguments. He says the government
figures show -a corn crop of 2,460,0oo.000 bush
els, of a bumber crop. He cannot lee It
now, with a poor crop in Kansas and Mie
sourl nnd a very spotted nnd moderate crop
In central Illinois and Indiana. He believes
the husking returns are not up to the gov
ernment figures. He tlnds a large Increase
In feeding and a growing Increase In export
demand. Argentina will have only an ex-
r or table surplus of 60,000.000 bushels, and
lie Danube nnd Black sea country Is buy
ing nnd not exporting. So Europe will have
to depend on the United States, and he can
see nothing but butter prices. Liverpool
made an advance in corn of 'c on the
strength In Argentina and the poor reports
from lmilu. The corn clearances toduy
were 6(M,(iii0 bushels. One Chicago house la
reported tu have bought 60.000 btiahels In
Omaha.
May oats at the high point today was
80Ttc an advance from the beat of Friday
of c. The cash demand for oats and the
shipments for domestic und export use are
still only moderate.
