CHICACH), April 29. Reports that Ku-1-opea.ns
were big buyers at Winnipeg
turned wheat upward In the last halt hour
today, notwithstanding weakness had been
the rule all the lest of the session. Closing
prices were unsettled, higher to off
as compared with U hours before. The end
of the day loft corn Wac-lower to Vic uu,
oats '4c down to a shade advance, and pro
visions at 7V4ijirc decline.
The rally In wheat was accompanied by
statements that Kanaas City was disposing
of a good deal of caah grain to eastern
mills. Another bullish Influence wan the
dry weather northwest. Bearish feeling
early came In part from Information about
larger shipments expected to be made by
Russia. Such factors ware lost sight of,'
however, when shorts commenced to cover
near the end of the session. The market on
the -"whole showed a steady tone at the
close. High and low limits for July proved
to be 88Ho and 8714irtWS.c, with last sales
at 88c, a net gain of c.
Trade In corn was large, but mostly In
transferring May holdings to deferred
months. July ranged from 62c to 52c, and
at the wlndup was f2tH-n4C, a net loss of
VsiS'iC Cash grades were easy; No. 2
yellow finished at 63$3Vac.
In the oats pit, elevator Interests bought
May and sold July on a big scale. During
the day July fluctuated between 31?ic and
3IV"-12n, with the close a shade ud at

Kxpected heavy receipts of hogs next
week caused weakness in provisions. The
outcome was a drop of 10411240 for pork

While there Is no great change in the
business situation, the general trend has
been for better conditions, 'that a large
crop will be cultivated during the season
Is lndlcatd bv the heavy s.-.le of mules
and horses In the breeding sections. Heavy
purcnases are reported rrom ail Mlssoirl
river sections. In western Missouri, Kan
sas wind Nebraska dealers speak of the
demand of the season as unusual. For the
first quarter of the year Kansas Citv
received 34.712 head, compared with 23.135
In 1910, making a gain of 11.57(5. During
March alone the receipts were more than
ont-thlr.l Urger. 10,211 head having ar
rived, agnlnst H.272 in March. Uilfl, or an
Int rtase of 3.939 hen. Shipment show
corresponding Increases from 7,070 In Ma'ch,
1910, to 8, WW head In March. 1911.
Thirteen markets In the west for Janu
ary and February, during vhlch time much
of the distribution for earlv farming oc
curs, show a gain of 40 per cent in horses
and mules received over the business of
the preceding year.
Iron and Steel Trade.
The movement of Iron and steel trade
Is shown by the advance sheets from the
monthly summary of commerce and fin
ance of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, which give total exports of Iron
and steel, not including ore, for March,
1911, as $22,591,848, as aalnst $17,258,503 in
March, 1910.
The Seaboard Air line has placed an
order for 15,000 tons of rails, Rock Island
10,000 tons and Duluth South Shore 6,000
tons, making a total of 30,0iO tons.
The adsent of a nearer approach to sea
sonable weather In some sections of the
country has helped the retail business,
but wholesale trado has made but little
response and remains generally dull.
Taken In all. these factors Indicate that
economic conditions for a prosperous year
In business are good and the early plant
ing Indicates a fairly large crop will be
cultivated.
The stock market, which continued strong
during the session, closed less active than
it had been during the early hours. The
sales for tha day were 240.611 shares. Read
ing led the list, with United States Steel
and Union Paclflo following closely.
The Bank' Statement.
The wide diversity between the "average"
and "actual" bank statements today indi
cated that the bank position weakened
considerably after the middle of the week.
This was evidently because of the outgo
of tha cash, and because of Increased loan
expansion, for loans decreased In the week
end, showing where they expanded slightly
on the dally average.
The first thing to strike the eye In the
bank statement is the discrepancy between
the changes in average and actual cash
holdings of the clearing house members.
In the average there was shown an In
crease in cash of $6,280,200, whereas In the
actual an Increase of only $456,100 was dis
closed. The changes in loans " were no less re
markable, In view of the syndicate opera
tions of the last week. A small increase
in the average figures became a decrease
of $1,469,800 In loans In the actual, while
the trust companies Increased their loans
to the extent of $6,029,600.
The average surplus now is $40,683,175,
which compares with t6,771,150 In 1910, $11,
207,200 In 1909 and 342,352,900 in 1908.

1,u(?ATTL'1':Ue'celP,s of f&'tle this week
have been very light, the totul for the week
footing up 14.8H9 head, us against 20,977 head

not been favorable to the selling Interests.
lhe week opened with beef steers gener
ally quoted lOyloc lower and thiB decline
as practically held until the close of the
week. As has been mentioned frequently
n - these columns the handy light steers
have been tho best sellers throughout the
week, while heavy cattle have been a drug
on the market every day. Packers have
been complaining that the eastern demand
for beef products Is extremely poor and
even the lower prices did not appear to
have any Influence in the way of increas
ing the consumption. The poor demand Is
ascribed In part at least to the fact that
tor the last year or b- prices on beef have
peen so high that consumers have gotten
into the habit of buying something wise,
1, n Part to th8 ftct ,lla' southern veg
etables have been very plentiful this spring
ana cheaper than usual at the large eastern
consuming centers.
As usual with the consuming demand so
poor there is a tendency to substitute the
cheaper grades, and or that reason cows
and heifers have been better Belters then
tne mora expensive beef steers. The fact
that the supply of cows and heifers- has
been quite moderate has also helped to
hold UD DliCes on that Llnt an.
u:.fhe,f08e of ihe week they ftre ""'I very
httle different from one week ago.
The market on stockers and feeders has
been very poor all the week and the week's
receipts have been light, but still the coun
try demand has been so moderate that
prices have eased off and are at the clone
pf the week 15&'25c lower. It must be borne
in mind, however, that the market at the
close of last week was very high, In fact
too high as compared with the way fat
cattle were selling. '1 he decline this week
Is something In the nature of bringing the
feeder market dowu to the level of the fat
cattle market

HOGS Further Joss In hog prices devel
oped this morning, but the demand was
ample and reasonably active at any de
cline. Hulk of a 115-car run sold at fig
ures 6f10c lower than the average trade
yesterday. If anything, the dime reduc
tion was more fiequeat than any lesser
declines. All weights were Involved in the
break and usual spreads between lard,
butcher and bacon grades were preserved.
C rarunee at 11 o'clock was complete
racKers oireraa the main outlet fur of
ferings and purchased In all fully 90 per
cent of the supply. Speculative and ship
ping orders were limited and usually fa
vored light animals.
Narrow bulk settled at $.Y70riT5.75, but
tome little business was done on It her side
of these quotations. Heavy hogs moved
around $5.65, while bacon grades sold up as
high as $5.90. As compared with tops a
week ago, today's high price shows a 15c
discount.
The most remarkable feature of the
trade this week Is found In the table of
receipts. Dally runs jlve a total of over
72.000 head, the largest weekly supply since
that of the second week of March, 19ii.
It is also half again as large as the re
ceipts last week and over three times as
large as the run this week last year.
Despite burdensome offerings, packers
have taken care of the trade In very credit
able fashion on most days. Clarences have
been easj and, while cheaper cost would
not seem surprising, the market actually
ruled stronger on two or three occasions.
Present prices average about 15fa20c lower
than those of a week ago.

Four cars of wooled yearlings were re

by a packer at t5 Oo.

DULL TIMES FOR THE BROKERS
Wall Street Men Look Into Futnrti
and See Bitter Times Ahead.
GENERAL BUSINESS VERY GOOD

BY PRESTON C. ADAMS.
NJEW YORK. April ..-(Special to Tha
Itee.l The stock market continues to
bieak records of dullness with painful
regularity for brokers. All sorts of ex
cuses have been ndvanird to account for
the dullness and (he optimistic Wall street
men still are seeing better times .lust
ahead. The trouble Is It remains ahead
with the persistence of a Mexican mamma.
It would seem as though the stm k had
made (he discovery of perpetual Immov
ability. In the meantime the general business
of the country goes along In a nice satis
factory manner, paying apparently no
particular attendon to the sufferings of
the "buslnfss heart of the country ' as tha
region down about (he stock exchange
love to think of liself.
1 do not write to be understood to say
(here Is anything like a boom on In any
particular line. As a matter of fact there
Is a general spirit of caution and a dispo
sition to reasonable economy which makes
for soundness.
Conditions Sound at Hasp.
The Slmmonds Hardware company of St.
Louis is one of the largest agricultural
Implement distributers In the country.
It employs a large staff of traveling sales
men, and In order to guage the prospect
of Its own business conducts a systematic
Inquiry through these salesmen Into most
retent reports from salesmen on the agri
cultural prospects and general business
t ondltlons. Agricultural conditions, as a
whole, are fundamentally sound and the
winter wheat crop, which is (he only gen
el ally growing crop of importance at pres
ent is In most excellent condition. Con
siderable damage Is repotted from the
western and southwestern portions of
Kansas and the western portion of Okla
homa, because of dry weather and winter
killing. In these districts a moderate
amount of wheat has been plowed up and
the acreage planted In oats. Some damage,
though not extensive nor of serious nature.
Is likewise reported from western Ne
braska, because of dry weather. Some
damage by Hessian fly is reported from
southern Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, but
nothing of serious moment. Beyond (his
the story Is of unusually good condition
all over the winter wheat belt and of as
excellent a promise In general as can be
hoped for. The decrease In acreage 1
confined almost entirely to those sections
of the wheat belt and the southwest where
dry weather has prevailed, while other
t-ortlons In general show some Increase.
As a whole, there appears to oe a nioc-

Farmers are said to be generally buying"

of better grades and hlghtr types.

X C. Maben. president of (he Sloss-Shef-
fleld Steel & Iron Co., says the future Is
uncertain for the Iron trade and will con
tinue so until the many uncertainties, in
cluding the supreme court decisions and a
definite idea of what congress intends to
do in Its present session In the matter of
tariff revision, are out of the way. In an
Interview- he said:
"In the Booth the Iron Industry Is a lag
gard. The demand Is nothing to speak of.
although we are disposing of a compara
tively large aggregate tonnage each month,
made up of small lots. But taking the
situation as a whole there Is nothing that
1 can see that would tend to improve con
ditions to any great extent over the next
few months at least. Sloss now has 103,000
tons of pig Iron stacked tn Its yards, tha
largest tonnage ever reirorted, which In
dicates tho stagnant condition of the iron
market over the last several months.
However, we are operating at low cost
snd can now turn out Iron below $9 a ton
on an average. We have four blast fur
naces In operation and these four furnace
are turning out more iruh at present than
was produced by five furnaces previously.
One of our furnaces, tne smallest one w
ate oDcratlng. which Is on the eigntn yes
of blast on the same lining, averages 243
tons a dav during March. As to earnings.
It waa irenerally expected that our first
quarter woultl not show up very favorshly.
However, we earned our preferred dividend
and showed a Bmall surplus after Us pay
ment." v,
Ilulldlna Work Falls Off.
A decrease of 12 per cent In building;
operations In sixty of the principal cities
of the country In March, as compared with
March, l'.do, Is shown by a report Issued by
Construction News.
Permits were taken out In March In sixty
titles for the construction of 21.675 build
ings. Involving an estimated cost of $69,
180,975, as against 21.786 buildings, repre
senting an Investment of $78,611,613 for tha
same month a year ago. This Is a decrease
of 111 buildings and f.t.4;i0,538, or 12 per cent.
This Is not considered a bad showing. It
Is to be noted that the principal losses
were In New York, where there was a big"
rii-on of 44 tier cent, as compared with a loss
of 55 per cent In Brooklyn and only 4 per
cent In Chicago, while Boston shows an
Increase of 2 per cent and Philadelphia 4
per cent, making the aspect for the month
decidedly spotted, but It Is believed that
with a more settled condition of the weather
construction will proceed upon a satisfac
tory basis.
A group of Interior coast cities contlnua
to make a good showing, notably Louis
ville, with a gain of 274 per cent. Indian
