Features of the Trading; and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, March 6. Unabated foreign
buying tended today to dispel dread of
a flood of Russian wheat through the
JBogphorus, and helped bring about a
strong market here. Price closed steady
at 2"3'1!0 net advance. Other gains
were; Corn, 9ic to WaK?; oats, to
Ti'ftlc, and provisions, lOGflio to 26c.
Kxport business in wheat today, which
was said to aggregate at least 1,000,000
bushels, was shared in not only by sea
board cities, but also Chicugo. St. Louis,
Kansas City, Duluth and Winnipeg. In
addition to spot cash purchasing, the
July delivery as well aa the May option
was liberally taken on foreign account.
Confidence among wheat buyers began
with announcement that quotations at
Liverpool were firm and vaa notably
increased by private advices here from
Petrograd saying it was untrue that great
shipments would be made from Russia
as soon as the Dardanelles were open.
Unfavorable weather in Argentina and
the Punjaub assisted In preventing- any
lasting Interruption of the day's advance.
Scantiness of receipts had a strength
ening effect on corn. Bo, too, did the
wheat bulge. (Nevertheless there was
enough bearish sentiment in tha pit to
enlarge offeringa whenever the ascent
appeared about to become of a radical
sort. Cash houses bought oats through
out the session. It was said that even
without any fresh call, they would be
kept busy for some time filling present
contracts to ship to the seaboard.
Higher prices for hogs and grain made
provisions climb. The built of the buy
ing came from shorts.

Leon good buyers oil tho week and the

HOGS Receipts were even lighter than
on Friday, the heavy storm cutting to
day's supplies down until there was hardly
a good buy for any of the packers. Or
ders were naturally very limited, and as
none of the packers cared very much
whether they got anything or not. early
offers were no more than strong at yes
terday's average. Shippers bought a few
early that were anywhere from a nickel
to fully 10c higher. As was the case with
packers their orders were small. After
a pretty dull sestilon killer buyers finally
raised their offers on the liest kinds to
$il.00, leaving the big end to sell at $6.66,
and although sellers tried hard for more
money they finally had to cut loose at
the figures named, which were strong to
a nickel higher than yesterday's average.
Trade was very draggy all through, and
considering the lightness of the supply It
was late before a clearance was made.
While the packer trade never reached a
nickel higher basis, the few shipping sales
helped the average out, and the general
market is 60 higher. Bulk sold at $d.GVtf
6.60 and shippers paid as high as $6.05.
After dull and lower markets during the
first four days of the week light receipts
yesterday and today allowed values to
advance fully 16c, and present prices are
ti'ii'lOo above the close of last week, as
well as being the highest sine the middle
of February.
Supplies were estimated at twenty-four
cars, or 1,600 head, bringing the week's
total up to 60,697 hesd. This is more than
2x,0i0 short of last week, but Is 9.C00 larger
than a year ago. Receipts for the year
to date are over 87,800 larger than during
the corresponding period of last year.

SHEEP No fresh receipts ware on deck
this morning. Up until the middle of the
week the receipts have been liberal, but
In spite of that, sharp advances wen
made on both sheep and lambs. The heip-
iul features of the trade have been the
light 'runs at Chicago and other eastern
points, together with a good healthy tone
to thu eastern dressed mutton trade, which
lias given added strength to the local
shipping demand. On Wednesday and
Thursday, which were the high days of
tha week, Mexican lambs sold to ship
east at $9.66, the record price) for the
year thus far. Fed western ewes soared
to $7.60, the highest for the season as
well as the record since April, 1910. There
han not be 11 the discrimination against
weight that characterised the market last
week and, ss a matter of fact, the bulk
of the offerings has been coming on the
light and handywelght order. Just the
kind that are preferred by the packer
buyers. At the close Thursday both sheep
and lambs sold anywhere from 26o to 60c
better than the close of last week. A
great many of tho offerings were wst on
Thursday and on paper sales looked
lower, but considering the extra weight
due to wetness, prices wm practically
steady On account of the severe snow
storm Friday the receipts were cut down
to one load of lambs, which sold on a
basis showing little change from Thurs
day's trade. The prospects are moderate
receipts and a good market for the fore
is rt of next week.
The supply of feeder offerings has con
tinued light, with the demand strong and
active. The good to bent kinds are quot
able at $S.O0S850, thero being several
loads selling at the latter figure this
week. Tha market on that kind is higher
than 'at week.

LINE UP FORJDISTRICT COURT
Last Say for Filing Cause Arrives
and Attorneys and Litigants Are
Busy with Their Suits-
SUITS FOR THE MARCH TERM
Todsy will be the last for filing causes
for trial at the March term of district
(ourt. Late In the dsy the attorneys
turned In nineteen petitions. None of
the suits were of much public Interest.
The city was made co-defendant In
three suit filed by M. J. Vorhees in
connection with the acquisition of the
right-of-way for the portion of North
Broadway. The Vorhees property was
among the portions necessary to condemn
and $1,000 was paid for n strip extending
;W feet, ranging In width from twenty
feet to nothing. When the question oT
condemnatlbn was first brought up Vor
hees asked $&,:&) for the ground desired,
but a compromise was effected without
condemnation by which he deeded to the
city the strip referred to. Some mis
understanding at the time led Vorhees
to believe that part of the agreement
obligated the city to give to him all of
the land formerly used for street pur
poses since the changing of the location
of the street, placing It on the west side.
This tract Is nearly 100 feet deep and ex
tends the full length of the Vorhees prop
erty. It will naturally become vslnable
s residence property.
Home Notices lerted.
Several notices hsve been served on
the council by Vorhees to vacate this
property, but as there was no record of
any agreement such ss Vorhees alleges,
and the special committee of the council
denied any knowledge of an offer to give
him more than the $1,000, no attention
was paid to It. At the Inst meeting of
the council the telephone company and
the Postal Telegraph company, whose
lines occupy their old position on !he
street. Informed the conncll that they
had been notified by Vorhees to remove
their poles and vacate the street, repre
sentatives of the companies asked to have
a resolution adopted confirming their right
to use the street, but this was minted
out to be unnecessary for tha reason that
ins city had not relinquished its title
:o the vacated portion of the street. The.
suits filed yesterday Included one against
the city asking Judgment for $2,800 as the
balance of the price for the strip taken
In the Vorhees property.
Another suit Is an ai.Dlicstinn for an
injunction restraining thp telephone and
tingraph companies and tha city from
urther use of the vaoated nnrtiivn

Dog Gives Alarm
Of Fire in Store
The grocery store located at 3S1 Harri
son street, and owned by Ed Wood, wai
completely destroyed by fire yesterday
forenoon. The loss on the building snd
the contents has not been fully deter
mined, snd will not be ascertained until
Insurance adjusters complete their work.
The building, owned by Charles Lacy,
forms part of a residence occupied by
Wood. The origin of the fire was at
tributed to an overheated stove In the
store.
Wood had left the store alone about !
o'clock In the morning and had gone Into
his home, closing the door connecting tha
living apartments with the store. He wit
sbsetit some time, and finally had his at
tention attracted by the furious barking
of a bulldog he had left to guard the
rtoie. He did not respond Immediately,
but did so when tha cries of the dog in
dicated pain and terror. He opened ths
door to tlnd the building filed with flam
and smoke and the dog badly burned.
Neighbors who had been attracted by
the fire that had broken through the roof
had turned In an' alarm. When the lire
men had plowed through the deep snow
and reached the place the building was
almost ready to fall. The fire Was con
fined to the portion used for a grocery
store, snd but little damage was Inflicted
upon the connected section. Insurance to
I he amount of $1,000 covered the loss; on
the stock, and a policy held by the ownet
of the building for the same amount will
fully meet the loss sustained.

Grading Machine is
sed on Snow Drifts
Yesterday morning huge ridges of snow
that had been thrown from sidewalks and
swept from street car tracks extended ths
full length of the business streets. The
snow embankments blocked both aides of
the streets, leaving only the space oeou
pled by the car tracks as the possible
highway for traffic. To haul away the
snow would have cost thousands of dol
lars and taken many day. Tha street
commissioner and his men hitched six
horses on one of the city's road gradlna
machines and leveled the banks, leaving
the snow of uniform depth, permitting
vehicles to drive over it and quickly com
press It into a reasonably firm roadway.
The grader crew did as much work dur
ing the dsy ss could have been accom
plished by several hundred men using
shovels In the same length of time. After
the business streets had been smoothed,
down, the grader crew continued opera
tions on residence thoroughfares, and
many mile of streets were made passable.
This nwrnlng, men wltn plows will cut
furrows through the snow along the street
curbing, opening the gutters and permit
ting ths esrape of the water. This will
present Hooded streets and hasten the
malting of the snow. The coat of the
work will be small and add nothing to ths
regular expense of the department, as
only ths regular street cleaning force ta
being used.
