Hoc Thar waa juat a normal Mon
day aupply of hoars here, thoufh arrUala
of 101 care at about 7,900 head war nearly
four tlmea a Ursa ai t weak a to. Offer
ings vera nearly 1,000 ameller than' two
weeks ato, and a few hundred short of
ine rem pond ins Monday laat year.
Receipts at Chteaca overran estimates.
and lower prices wera predicted there, but
under the Influence of rather moderate,
cuprites tne local trade wae mostly steady,
Shipper demand was neither as broad nor
aa ursent as at the close of laat -week,
and the boa; order buyers bought showed
an easier tendency, being no more than
teady t la qultr a few Instances 6c
lwr. . l ';.. '
Packers atao got some hogs that looked
weak to a nlckol lower, particularly on
early rounds, but theae sales were scatter
ing, and, when bulk of the offerings was
tvauhad It was at prleei that wera about
M;tidy with laat week's close. Movement
ws never very active, and as waa tha case
Saturday tha laat rounds M'ere dreggy, D
aJrable hoga wr praottcally all uleand
up. and .ackera were not making much
of an attempt to boy the few bunches of
common light and highly mixed hogs that
wtf sttll in first bands.
The general Quality was ndt nearly as
- good as It was Saturday, lack of the real
good heavy hogs which -wtrr fairly plenti
ful the closing days of Inst week, being
especially iiotloeable. On thie account oin
packer droves figured aa much as a drine
lower on paper, but quality considered the
teneral market was not chuna-pd to auy
quotable extent. A epread of I14.60014.I6
. caught tha bulk of the sates. There waa
ri'jtte a scattering below this, aad abovn
114.70 aals wore mighty svarue, though
the extreme top equaled tha record of
114.40 inad teat week. .

tatidey run, and following, the tone of
arir Ctrteago wlree packers made their
opening bid at lower prices. 'There was
- fatrly firm undertone to the market,
chough, and before they were able to buy
much of anything buyers had to raise
Ihetr offers to a good steady basis.
The general market, while unevon, waa a
hjy steady affair, flight at the opening a
'ew lembe sold that might have been ae
irr.'but before the close sales Were made
that wen?, if anything, stronger. Bulk of
th offerings moved upwards from 114.40,

for the first 41 me here. Th Uinli

Wheat and Cora Make New High
oa Extemlv Early Buying.
Chicago, March 29. Snow In Kansas and
Nebraska offset to lomt extent alarming
crop reports today wh.cn bad caused a
sharp advance In prices. The market closed
weak at 11.10 to 91. 90 for May and
11.53 to 91.63 for July, with th range1
a a whole c off to lo up compared with
Saturday's finish. Latest trading left corn

lower.
Crop advice, that were . classed aa th
worst yet thl season, led to a . rush of
buying In the wheat pit at tha atari, and
carried July and September to a new high
price level. Damage In the winter belt waa

considerable ekeptlclsm appeared to be de-1

reports had not been wildly exaggerated.
word of light snowfall in western Kansas

"When man stop, learning he stop,

and develop who resp the money prizes in
business. There sever has been a time
when it paid a man better to educate him
self out of one job into another, and there
have been a good many striking examples
of this in the banking business. A man who
has The Encyclopaedia Britannica at hand
. where he'ean consult it at any moment has
a distinct advantage over the one who
has not."
Chicago:
"As one of the early subscribers, I can
say that the Britannica contains such relia
ble information on all conceivable subjects
, as to make it almost a necessity to any one
who wants to post himself on matters such
as come almost daily to his attention but
about which b. has not previously had occa-
t shm to inform himself."

possible value to them."
Bishop John H. Vincent, founder Of
the Chautauqua movement:
"The 'Handy Volume' Issue of The En
cyclopaedia Britannica is a Library, a Mu
seum and a Picture Gallery, at one might
say, ' under one roof,' and the fact that
the Britannica is now brought out in this
convenient form, and at so much less cost,
is sura to be appreciated by a great many
people to whom the privilege of owning it
das hitherto been denied. "
These men all own the new Britannica and strongly advise yeu to own it. Thousands of other
business men have written letters to the same effect, what they say is reinforced by the experience of
