CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Feat area of the Trading; and Closing:
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, March . Wheat prices on the
local exchange declined more than 1 cent
today owing to renewed profit taking, but
nearly, all the loss was regained on covering
by short. At the close the May delivery
waa VtiO below yesterday's final quotation.
Corn Was Up c. Oats were 0 higher.
Provisions were 5tfil0c higher.
The wheat market . wa nervous the
greater part of the day and the volume of
trade was large. During the first half of
the hour the market ' wa Inclined
to be firm owing to liberal pur
chase by commission house. Pit
traders In general, however, were dls-
Joed to favor the Belling side of the mar
Let on the theory that a further decline waa
due In view of a probable increase In
primary receipt In the near future. A
1 forecast of continued liberal shipments
from Argentina also tended to weaken the
market. For the greater part of the last
half sentiment waa decidedly bearish and
prices, were forced down about lVfec from
. the high point. A sharp rally occurred Just
befre"the"losn" active covering, by
shorts and nearly all the loss was regained.
The close was firm. May opened VuHc to
HflVi. higher at Mtfc to 9So, advanced to
tt(99c and then declined to ObWUWVio.
The close-waa at WS'llc. "
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 175,0(10 bushel. Primary receipts were
337.000 bushels, compared with 641.0)0 bushels
th corresponding day a year ago. Minne
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 194 cars, against 199 cars last
week and 429 ears a year ago.
Tl e corn market was strong all day, being
Influenced chiefly by unsettled weather in
' the corn belt, which will probably Interfere
with the movement of the crop. Commis
sion houses and bull leaders were active
bidders all day and although at times there
was considerable profit taking, sdequate
offerings were hard to find. The close was
firm. May opened 14,60 to H44s higher
at 63o to 63o, sold at 62c and then ad
vanced to (UVo. The close was at 63v
Mc. Local receipts were 41S cars, with
one of contract grade.
There was only a small trade In oat and
the market In general' a trifle easier. Con
tinued liberal receipts had a depressing ef
fect. May opened So higher at U4o, sold
between 63c and 6.l,iSfiilo and closed at
L3o. Local receipts were 218 cars.
Provisions were firm on buying by shorts.
Th principal feature was buying by some
of the larger packers. At the cluso May
pork wss up 10c at $11.924 Lard waa up
la at t7.7S, ribs were 7 Wo higher at tti.70.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
24 cars; corn, 7 cars; oats, 242 cars; hogs,

The stock market element had thrown off,
to some extent, the fright of yesterday over
the Hepburn bill to tax stock transfers.
Assertions that this plan was to have

circulation about the stock exchange, in
which he said:
'lTh great bulk of the business trans

have to be taken not to Interfere with this
business In doing away with the bucket

CATTLE Soft weather throughout the
west was largely responsible for the com
paratively small run of cattle today, tha
supply being a few thousand short of a
week ago and the four-day supply nearly
2.&UI smaller than for the same four days
last week. The sharp falling off ln re
ceipts also has been responsible for a con
siderable Improvement In prices all along
the line. Beef steers today ranged from
fully steady on the heavy and rough cattle
to 10c higher on the handy fat, light and
medium weight grades. The trade was ac
tive from the start, . and although part of
the arrivals were late a clearance was
made eurly In the' forenoon. Beef cattle
values are all ot 152uc higher than a
week ago and the undertone tu the trad is
strong.
Offerings or cows and hclters were com
paratively light and the qtiullty nothing
extra. Wtth a good demand from both
local packers and outside buyers th mar
ket was lively right from the start, with
prices generally luc hlsher than yesterday
all around. The advance this week amounts
to lbtufcuc. larirelv on the niedluiik to good
stock. Common canning grades have not
been much sought after ana there has not
been so much advance on the toppy cows
on account of the competition on low
grade steers. Veal calves, bulls, stags,
etc., are selling freely at strong prices.
There was not much activity In the
stocker and feeder line, largely for the
reason that there was comparatively little
desirable stork, either freh or stale, on
hand. Country buyers were somewhat ln
evidence and their inquiry was largely for
steers of good quality, with the desirable
lighter grades preferred. The volume of
business was small, however, and price
steady to easier.

not appear to be particularly anttejus fur
the stuff today, and while they did pick

It generally took shaded price to move
the ordinary light and mixed load. Th
close was rather easier than the owning,
but a good clearance whs made before
noon. The ton today was 14.35. as ajainat
$4.40 yesterday, and th bulk of the offer-

JOE CARROLL GETS LECTURE
Neither Sent to Jail Nor Fined
When fate Is Explained
to Conrt.
Joe Carroll, manager of tha street gale
of The Bee, pleaded with Police Judge
Bryce Crawford Thursday morning for a
jail sentence or a fin aa punishment for
pushing Samuel Juster. father of a news
boy, Into the mud Wednesday evening.
But the judge refused to punlsb the ntws
boy, leading him a lecture and telling him
to keep his hands off the newsboy who
are working under him whether they are
flipping car or not.
To keep small boyg from Jumping street
cars to sell papers the street railway com
pany has given a boy on each paper a
badge which entitles him . to sell on the
car, and the little fellows are supposed
to stay off and keep their legs on their
bodies. Joe Carroll has badge and
throw off all others. ''" '
Probation Officer Mogy Bemgteln took
Frank Juster's paper from him Tuesday
evening because the boy wa flipping ctrs.
The boy' father went to Carroll about It
and Carroll told him he would take tha
boy's paper hlmcelf If he ever caught the
boy jumping on afreet car. The evidence
In police court showed that the elder Jus
ter took a "poke" at Carroll and then he
took a wallowing In the mud by Carroll
and his forces. Juster had Carroll arrested
and the judge discharged the newsboy,
though ho begged for a sentence after he
received the judge's lecture that ho might
appeal the case and determine for all time
whether he ha a right to take a boy's
paper or pull him off the afreet care when
the little fellow get "funny."
COUNTY BOARD WINS FIRST
Sernrea Victory In Salt Between
Lanrle J. Qnlnbr and Klopp at
Bartlett, Printer.
. The county cornmlatlonor won the flrt
round In the suit In which Laurlo J.
Qulnby, a printer, gought to enjoin the
payment of bill to the amount of $1,000
to Klopp Sl Bartlett Company, a rival.
Judge Redlck Thursday xtornlng refused
to grant the temporary injunction asked
for by Qulnby.
Quinby based his suit 00 the grounda
the work should have been let after com.
petltlve bids had buen called for, and as
no bids were auked for, he contended the
contract was Illegal and the bill should
not le paid. Judge Redlck held the only
question Involved In the suit wa whether
or not Klopp & Bartlett company should
be paid for supplies they had furnished.
He held an injunction wa not tho proper
method of procedure, but an appeal from
the action of th county commlloner In
allowing the bill should be taken If the
plaintiff wanted to test the legality of the
acts of the commissioner.
