CHICAGO, March . Favorable weather
fur seeding In the northwest and for the
development of the croj In the southwest
had a weakening effect today on the local
Wheat market. At the close the May op
tion showed a net loss of H'pSc. Corn was
flown Ho. Oats were oft He Provisions
Srere Up 7YMU60. '
Dullness of a pronounced type marked the
trading in all the pits today, business at
times being almost at a standstill. During
ioe nrni iri ox ine session tne wneat mar
ket was. steady on-a fair demand by corn
mission houses .and pit traders. Latet In
the day the market became dull because of
veiling by commission house which was
thought to be for the account of eastern
bolder. Reports from all sections ot tho
winter wneat area indicated that the grow
Ing crop Is progressing favorably. Accord
Ing to private advices seeding operations
i have begun In the northwest and within
another week It was claimed this work will
be tn full swing. Large primary receipts
And a continued heavy movement In the
northwest also created bearish sentiment.
The market closed weak with prices near
tha lowest point. May opened a shade to
'to lower at Tlo to 7a77'c, advanced
7t4o and gradually aold off to 77t377Vo. The
close waa. at 77n77,c. July ranged be
tween 76o and 77a and closed with a net
loas of SiMo at 7W'i7c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 130,000 bu.
Primary receipts were wJ,u00 bu, against
IU.000 bu. for the corresponding day one
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of SM cars, against t76
oars last week and 214 cars a year ago.
The corn market was steady early In the
day on a small demand by cash houses.
Prices showed very little change, but late
In the session scattered selling by local
holders caused a moderate degree of weak
cess. Tha slump In wheat was the chief
decreasing Influence. Msy opened un
changed at 4-ttfc". sold up to 44c and de
clined to 440, where It closed weak. Local
receipts were 171 cars, with 13 of contract
grade.
Sentiment in the oats pit waa inclined to
be bearish, but prices held steady for the
greater part of the day. Pit traders were
the principal sellers. The market was In
clinad to follow wheat. May opened un
changed at t0c, sold between SuSo and
yt!o and closed at SOOtc Local receipts
were xa cars. ...
Provisions were firm on a fair demand by
flt traders and commission houses. Trad
ug, however, was light. At the close May
urk waa ud 15e at 116.26. Laid was 7W
loo higher at $8.Kfc8.37. Ribs were up lie
at Mm tie.

CATTLB Receipts today were about the
same as usual on a Saturday that Is,
there were not enough, cattlo here of any
viio Kiua 10 maae any snowing wnatever,
BO that there waa .oractlcallv no market
Receipts of cattle this week have been
quite liberal, althourh short of last week's
excessive run by about 3,00 head. Aa com
pared with a year ago the receipts aliow
a gain 01 over ,uw neim.
Beef cattle have constituted a larae nro
portion of all the cattle received In the
yards this week, the supply of fair to good
steers being exceptionally large for this
season of the year. At the same ln
local packers have been free buyers and
mo maraei inrougnoui tne wecK has been
In a most satisfactory cotic'ltion. The
buyers took everything as It came, no
quotable change occurring from day to
day, so that at the close of the week
values are practically - where they were
one week ago.
The market on the better grades of cows
and heifers has followed practically along
the same lines as the market on beef
steers. No changes of any importance, so
far as valuea are concerned, have taken
place during the week, and without ex
ception every one Is quoting the market
steady with a week ago. Common to me
dium cows, old and rough stock, or any
thing on the ranner order, has not been
sought after and the trade has been dull
practically every day on that kind. While
prices have been weak, the market can
hardly be called much lower than It was
one week ago. for that kind of cattle
broke considerably last week.
Stockers and feeders have been free
sellers all the week, especially those of good
quality, and et the close of the week are
fully steady with last week.

HOGS Business was slow and dull in the
hog market today. It was a Saturduy, t lie
receipts were mrge ana Duyers were liear
lull, a combination which never lulls to
make a dragging market.1 While sellers
were very Slow to take off and worked
hard all tho morning to maintain values,
the. market turned out to be generally 2
)5o lower than yesterday. Tho hogs sold
largely at $6.35il6.27, as sgainst $6.27Vjfi.
6.824 yesterday. Owing to the reluctanue
of sellers to tukevoff and to a determina
tion on their part to get every cent possl
ble out of their holdings the forenoon was
Veil advanced before a clearance was ef
fected. . . T
Two features of Interest might he men
tioned in connection with the hog trade
this week. In the first place prices reached
tne highest point of the year 011 Frldav
the top price that day IWig the blgiu.'si
paid In almost three years. Another fea-
ture of fully as much interes
t was the
change In the relative position of light and
neavy nuga. r or some time ba-k heavy
bogs have been selling at a premium over
light weights. During this week better de.
niand has rteveloiied for choice light hogs,
especially those on the butcher weight or
der, uud they are now selling; right up

8HEEP No one would ever have
dreamed that it was a Saturday in the big
slieep barn, as there were twenty-one cars
repotted in. when as a matter of fact the
mmket Is supposed to be bare On tne last
day of the week. When it came to the
number on sale, however, there was a dif
ference, as fifteen cars consisted of lambs
billed through to eastern leed lots to be
shorn and finished for market. Of the re
mainder of the receipts three rata Were of
shorn ewes which were sold to arrive at
84. The few loads on silo brought steady
prices.
no great cnanae has taken riace in tne

Secret. It Is to he accomplished with

Easy as pouring pancakes Into a griddle.
Mr. Edison Is the Inventor of a new kind
of cement, and has estsbllshed works some
where In the tipper end of Jersey, where
that cement Is being made according to his
formula and sold like the proverbial hot
cakes referred' lo. He Isn't booming llio

himself to busy with other things.
In effect, Mr. Edison asserts that a scries

incidentally mentions Is that such a house
simply could not burn, would not require
repairs, as walls, floors, stairs, roof, cellar,
and. In short, everything but the doors and

of beauty such a structure would be aa
