Active covering by shorts, who Were forced to cover by tha strong condition of the cash wheat market, c-auseid a firm close In the local wheat mar ket here today, final quotations on the May option being up Ho- Corn showed a gain of Sc. Oats were up 4c Provisions were JH6c lowr. Tho market was unsettled during the first half of the session, and prices were easily forced up or down. During the last hour, however, sentiment became bullish, and the market closed strong. 'with prices at the highest point of the day. Commission houses bought freely all day, and late in the session their demand was reinforced by free covering" by shorts. The bulk of offer ings cams from pit traders, who were baartahly tacltand Imams of the. I avorabl4 weather for tho fall-sown crop In the south west. The improved demand was generally ascribed to an oversold condition of the market. May opened a shads lower to a shade higher, at 74C to ThVjc. ranged lie. tween "OWtCIfc. and closed at 7KT.2T790. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to ?i.M busbela. The world visible sun' ply, as shown by Bradstreet's, Increased 4 000.000 ' bushels. Primary receipts were siz.ouu ousneis, compared with 4to,(K" bush els one yoar ago-r Minneapolis, Dulutb and tjnicago reported receipts or MV cars, against ttt cars last week and M cars one year ago, The feature of trading In the corn pit was the active demand for the May deliv ery by a number of prominent bulls. Shorts also covered freely, and the result was a sharp advance In the tnce of the ontlon. The buying was stimulated by reports of wet weatner ana an improved demand for cash corn. The market closed strons. with prices at the highest point. May oened anaoe to c nigner, at to 43ti-ia'c. sold off to 43o and then advanced to 43V; 4JC, the closing price. Local receipts were 3bs cara, with 11 cars of contrail trade. A decrease of l,a21,000 bushels in th3 world's available supply, as shown by Bradstreet's, was chiefly responsible for a firm tone in the oats market. Reports of a reviving export demand also favored higher prices. May opened unchanged, at i,c old between fcxuiiuc. nd closed at i'V" Loral receipts were 2.10 cars. A decline In the price of live hors. not withstanding small receipts, caused some weakness In provisions. Commission houses caused fair rally In pork by fair pur chases.

But the rally usually goes further than that of today. The large part played by short covering operations In the demand which lifted prices wits In dicated by the relatively large buying of the stocks which were most acutely under pressure yesterday. Amalgamated Copper was a notable example, the determined support of thst stock at par yesterday apparently having convinced the sellers that protection was to be afforded the stock by Interests caisble of taking care of it. The dealings in this stork. I'nion Pacific and in Reading will be found to make up the bulk of yesterday's total transactions. The advancing tendency was spotty and Irregular and did uot set In until after a ragged opening in which a majority of the llt sold lower than last night s clos ing Besides the prominence of yesterday's wenkest stocks In the recovery there was a show of positive strength in the Wabash securities and those of southwestern rail roads in the same group. The assembling of the coal operators to coriflder the proposition of the anthracite miners for an agreement gave rise to vary ing rumors which were reflected in the fluctuations of Reading. Announcement of a deposit at the suhtreasury of t2,ni,ftu0 for transfer by telegraph to San Francisco gave a chill to the market owing to the Importance attached to the money situation from a stock market standpoint. The trans fer generally recognised as due to the calling home by the Japanese government of the resources of Its bond issue which have been on deposit In New York for many months past, where they huve had the benefit of the high prevailing rates for monev In the New Y'ork market. Their withdrawal at this time is supposed to be connected with the new loan operations by the Japanese government In their home market. Much interest naturally attaches to the extent to which this movement may be carried, but no authoritative information Is forthcoming on the market. Today's money rates were not materially changed, although the eenenti tone begins to show the benefit of the liquidation accomplished In the stork market. Foreign exchange nlso was inclined to yield today. The sag ging tendency of stocks at one time wiped out pretty much all of the gains, but a heavy buying movement In Southern Rail way In the final dealings re-established some portion of them and left the closing tone steady. Bond were steadv Total sales, par value. 12.040000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. Quotations on the New York Stork ex change were as follows- Silea. ntlh.

Nevertheless the receipts were really light for a Tuesday, showing a very heavy falling off aa compared with the cor responding day of previous weeks. The market opened with shippers and speculators paying a little stronger prices tnsn yesterday. Orders from this source, however, were light snd soon filled so that comparatively few sellers got the benefit of the early morning strength. By the time packers were ready to start out ad vices from other selling points were un favorable and they announoed right from the first that thev must have a concession of oVfrtOr as compared with yesterday. Sellers were not disposed to take off that mueh unless absolutely compelled to, which means that the market waa very slow and dull ull the morning. It was late before very much business was transacted. When the hogs did sell they went at prices that were generally 5e lower than yesterday, a considerable proportion of the loads aelllng at the range. t4 litjti.324.

It waa really the smallest Tuesday a run in some thing over a month. While a large proportion of the cattle were only fair to pretty decent killers, there were quite a number of loads ot quite good Killers. The market opened rather slow, buyers and sellers lielns soma. wiiat apart in their views nnd Inclined to await later developments before do. nit very much business. As is apt to be the case under such circumstances, tne mar ket was rather uneven and it was hard to find any two salesmen whoso report would agrte in every respect. Those mho hap- rened to have such cattie as appeared good n the eyes of buyers thougnt mat they were able to secure good, strong prices On ths other hand, there were salesmen who found it difficult to secure even sieadv prices, their cattle not being Just the kind thst buyers happened to want. The market on cows and heifers mat also slow to open snd somewuat uneven Buyers seemed to want quite a good nia.iyj but with the number on sale they ap parently felt that they could afford to take their time in making purchases. The kinds that- aeemed to suit them brought good, strong prices, while others were slow tci sell and ths general market was no more than steady. Feeders navlng weight and quality are free sellers at good, steady prices, but there ire not very many of that kind com ing. On the contrary, light and thin stock, era. especially those lacking quality and off In color are coming in fusler then they can be disposed of and are consequently slow and weak.

I to t kv 1 ttt I 44 celpts was wm.'l;it better than yesterday. mere being a smaller proportion or trasn and moie load of fair to good killers. The market as a whole was Inclined to ward dullness, there being very little snap or enthusiasm to the trade. Some of the heaviest packers did not appear to need very many sheep and were consequently In no hurry about filling orders. The late arrival of some of the trains also contrib uted to the dullness. Sheep of got id quality were in fair de mand. This would apply to both wethers, ytarlir.gs and ewes. Wethers, If anything, were the best sellers, owing to the fact that there were not many nere, and the best of them sold steady and in some esses possibly a little stronger than yes terday. As high as Wi wss paid for the Gibson old wethers, which were very choice and fat. Ewes by reason of the large number that have been coming in during the last few days were not In as good demand as the wethers, there being more of that kind than packers really need. Aa a result of this the ewes were the slowest of anything on sale. It usually follows that a slow market is a weak mar ket, and there were spots in the ewe trade that looked weak. Some of the best ewes here sold up to 8 SO, with very decent kill ers on down to t5. Lambs were slow all the morning. The fact Is, the lamb trade has been without very much life at this point for several days back. The demand appears to be rather limited, and hence there Is not much snap to the trade. Still prices this morn ing were not bad, being steady to higher In spots. Some good native lambs sold up to to. 75, which was the top price of the day. The Leavenworth lambs brought tt 60, which was 10c higher than they brought yesterday.
