strong wheat market here today. At the
close May wheat was IS'glVc higher, coin
was up l',4,Bl!ac- Ouis were !c higher.
Proviaions were MTli'tc higher.
The wheat maiket was strong all day.
Intluential traders began to buy at lbs
openlua and continued until the close. Tho
chief reason was the principal northwestern
grain reieivlng pednla reported only 21U
lata today, with cara plentiful, against 487
cars last year, during the provaionoa of
the car famine. The belief that the world s
shipments will show a comparative de
cline within the next few weeks wss alao
a strong bullish factor. There was also an
lmjiruitd demand for milling purposes, aad
from Texas came the report that wheat
acreage had been reduced 20 per cent from
that of last year, partly because the farm
eta fear the reappearanoo ef the green bug.
ajid also because of ths desire of planters
to use more land for ootton. The close
was strong. May wheat opened fr4c to
higher at U.tfc'a to H.OnV sold be
tween tl os and 81 08, and closed at 81.07V
Clearances of wheat and flour wars equal
to ifciduw bu. Primary receipts were 4jo0iiu
bu., against feib.ouo bu. on the same day
last year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 53 cars, against
3l cars last week and tau cars one year
ago:
ln the corn, market light local receipts.
comparatively few country acceptances arid
an Improved demand from the east created
a strong feelinn. The strength of whest
was alao a bullish factor. May corn opened
tiSVc to ikjVc lusher at 6klc. to 6Vj
sold between iSWc and 00c. and closed
strong at 5ic. Local receipts were Jbl
cars, with four of contract grade.
Ths oats market wag stronger and mure
active than for some time. There wss
fstr buyUig for Investment account, and
also by shorts. Light local receipts were
also a strengthening Influence. May oats
lened me higher st n&Nin. and sold be
tween that figure and 5Wc and closed
at bec. local receipts were 148 cars.
The provision maiket was dull but firm.
partly becauee of a alight advance In ths
price of live hogs, and also becauea of the
strength of ths grain markets. At tha

CATTLE J 'or a
fretty fair run of
hem were direct
words, there were
Saturday there was s
cattle, but the most of
to packers. In other
not enough cattle or-
fered for sale to really make a market, so
that the usual Esturdey holiday prevailed
In the cattle yards. The receipts for the
week hsve been only about one-third as
large as for the previous wwk, hut that is
nothing unususl for a holiday week, the
run this week having been very little dif
ferent from what It was a year ago.
The supply of beef steers has been quite
light all the week, while there has been
at. out the usual holidsy demand. As the
requirements of parkera were somewhst In
excees of the supply, prices gradually
Armed up and beef steers could safely be
quoted uitrSfir higher for the week. Large
receipts st Chicago nd consequent breaks
at that point hsve had tendency to pre
vent advances being made at the Missouri
river markets. A more equal distribution
of receipts would have undoubtedly been
beneficial to the market.
Cows and heifers have also been In very
light recelfit during the week snd prices
on that kind of cattle have also firmed up,
twlng right at 25c higher at the close of
the week thsn a week ago.
Very little business las been trsnsacted
In the Blockers and feeders division. Very
few cattle of that description hsve arrived
at the yards and there has been no great
demand. Prices at the close of the week
are possibly firm ss compared with a week
ago, but no material advance can be re
ported. Quotations on rsttle: Good ts choice

the snore urrerrt orders were filled and be
fore tha hogs hsd been all disiiosed of the
market qulrkly weakened until tt waa Im
possible to get over 34 40 for anything, re
gardless ef how good It might be. In other
words, a good share of ths early advance
w as lost.
Ths receipts of hogs this week hsve
been very moderste, showing decreases as
compared with both ths previous week and
with the eorreapondlng week cf last year.
The market has fluetusted bsek snd forth
this week. Ths week started out with a big
l(io higher, but a good shsre of this advance
was lost on Tuesday end It wss all lost
end more too on Thuraday. Friday mar
ket advanced about 10c and the gain In

SHEEP Only two cars of aheep were re
ported In and they were very choice Mexi
can yearltnga, which Were ordered In by a
packer belt g contract stuff. This week the
receipts ef sheep have leea extremely light
even for a holidsy week, shewing not only
a very heavy falling off aa compared with
ths previous week, but also a very large
de r as as compared wtth the correspond
ing week of a year ago. A fair holiday de
rnand in the fate of light receipts hss
caused a very sharp sdvanca In prices. At
ttie iios of ths week it 1 safe to quote
the general maiket as 25K1t"c higher,
It 11. lit. t be well for thlpper to under
stand U.St the advance has been due en
tirely to the light receipts. Still the fart
that the market hss shown such Improve
ment should b takeu as furnishing an
cnursgement for finishing ths stork en fned
rsther thsn ss an Inducement for rushing
stuff ta market prematurely. Packers are
not t all a'iktou for half-lst ur unfinished
stuff, snd It will hardly pay feedei to send
