SheepThere was just a fair run of lambs
here for a Thursday, total receipts being
thirty-seven cars, or about 8.180 head. For
the four days supplies have been 34,841
head, being 4,400 short of laat week and
2,000 smaller than two weeks ago, but
2.(00 larger than for the correpaondlnf
days last year.
Actual offerings were even more moderate
than receipt figures show, as ten cars of
those reported In were going through and
topped only to feed. There wan a weaklah
tone to the trade all around the circuit,
tcttial declines being reported at some
tnts, but while local packers took thMr
time about filling orders, and the, market
Was more or lets draggy all through, values
held fully ateady, and In one or two spots
smalt gains were noted. Most of the de
sirable handy westerns took 14.SOti4.76,
while $14.40 bought a pretty weighty kind,
tltxrd Mexican and westerns, whose great
eat attraction was extremely light weights,
brought $14.90, equaling the record made
je.itertlay, while mates of the Mexicans that
brought $14.86 yesterday reached $14.16, a
new high point.
Otd sheep were nominally steady, not
enough being offered to nuke' much of a
market. Some good ewes that brought
IU.76 were the only ones of consequence
here. Shearing and feeding stock was sn
tlrety lacking.

U. S. STEEL HOLDS PLACE
New York, March 22. The more Irregular
tendencies manifested by today's market
were traceable to additional eelllrjlt for

short account and a diminution or public

GRAIN AND PRODUCE!
Cash Grain Situation Strong,
but Small Receipts Make
Trade Quiet.
WHEAT DEMAND IS ACTIVE
Omaha, March 22, 19)6.
The cash grain situation was very strong
today, hut the local trade continued iuit
on account of the extremely light recjlpt
Tho demand, however, for wheat wan only
moderately active, but there was rii
cellrnt demand for corn and oata, and both
of these cereals sold at record prices. Wheat
prices were quoted at a rather small ad
vance, the hulk of the samples selling from
lc to 2c above yesterdays market
The better grades of wheat were In fairly
good demand at the prevailing prices, but
the poorer samples sold very slowly and
aove.ral traders were forced lo hdld over
their samples. No. 2 hard wheat waaiuntcd
at 81.93; No, 3 hard sold around 11,91 and
$1,914, &nd one car of No. 2 mixed brought
$1.90.
Small Corn Hh I omenta,
There was less than forty cars of corn
received today, and as the demand for this
cereal was very strong, most or ine comm
slon men were entirely sold out before the
close. The premium on white corn over
the yellow was much narrower today and,
as ti acneral thing, the commercial gradea
of yellow and white sold for practically the
same orlces.
White corn ranged in price rrom i.u to
$1.12; yellow sold from $1,104 to $1.12, and
(he mixed ranged from $1.09 to tl.lO

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,
Wheat Opens Irregular, Rises All Round,
Then Sags.
Chicago. March 32. Assertions that a
larga fleet of merchants steamships from
Holland and elsewhere was on the way
to the American seaboard helped to lift
wheat prices today. The close was strong,
lc to 24c net higher, with May at $i.94
01.864, and July, $1.67401-674. Corn
gained 4u to 14c; oats, 40 to 140, and
provisions 16c to 20c.
Notwithstanding that the wheat mamet
averaged higher and made a robust flntah,
quotations during the day showed consid
erable Irregularity, with the bulls scoring
easily on advances but inclined to give
support on any setback. At the outset bears
seemed to have an art van lane owing 10
favorable crop reports from the southwest
and because of assertions that rt serves of
wheat In Great Britain were increasing.
Later, however, domestic field .advice,
especially from Nebraska and Kanaan, were
of a pessimistic character and according to
one authority tne outiooK in ten 01 tne
largest producing counties In western and
central Kansas .was exeremely bad. The
chief stimulus for buyers mas found In
notices that sa many as thirty vessels from
Dutch and other Kuropean porta soon
would be on this side of the Atlsntlo to
receive cargoes.
Announcements that the United States
government was making Inquiries for flour
nd had let -hardtack orders tended to
Increase bullish sentiment regarding wheat
There were also Indications that railway
freight conditions were Improving eastward
from Chicago.
Fresh advances tn com resulted largely
from bullish estimates of the yield tn Ar
gentina. One expert ssld the total was so
small that there would 1e no corn available
there for shipment to other countries. Oats
hardened with corn and wheat. Receipts
were light Provisions rallied, owing to the
strength of grain. Lower quotations on
hogs had only a transleut depressing Influence,
