In fact, smaller than on moat recent Mondays, although larger than a year' ago. There waa a good brink demand and with moderate receipts the bulk of the offerings changed hands early In the morning. The prices paid were fully steady - on all kinds, while some of the medium grades, oows and heifers as well aa beef steers, which broke badly last week, were, If anything, a little stronger today. In fact, now and then It was possible to find a salesman who called the market as much as I0e higher In spots. Feeders were fully steady and.

This is slightly smaller than a week ago, but la four1 times aa large as two weeks ago, when the of. ' fecte of the threatened strike kept the ran down, and over 1,000 larger than a year ago. Chicago had an extremely liberal run and. reported a full dime decline, and while the local supply was not eepeclally bur densome, trade was slow and prices broke In sympathy with the bearish markets else where. Shippers made a decent buy on ripening rounds, but between 1,000 and 1,500 hMtd that they picked up right at the start was all they ever did buy, the balance of ins offerings being left at ths disposal of ( tbe packers. Common light and mixed hogs wet In - very plentiful supply, while really good hogs were ths scarcest they have been to a long time, and as packers have been discriminating against poorer grades, a slow trade was the result. First killer sales were around a dime lower, and after the better nd of the supply had been oleaned up that . nay the market got steadily weaker, some wiuit silling fully lO0t6o lower later In the, day, while at 11 o'clock fifteen or twenty of the plainest hogs were still un sold. On paper the market was around lie towr, but quality. waa poorer oven than lust week, for j while' there were plenty of pUIn noire her Saturday, there also were m a great many good one, while today really di'strable load were few and far between.

All eyes tn Wall street were directed toward Washington todsv. the trend of events at the national capttol tx-ing the feature oi paramount in terest. The celerity with which congress proceeded to organise was viewed wltn gen eral approval by conservative as well as speculative Interests. Monetary condi tions remained easy, last Saturday's ad verso bank statement being offset by the recelot of additional gold Imports which were placed to the credit of tbe entente allies. Closing of the books on the offer ings of the Pennsylvania flailroad company's tsttuo of $40,000,000 bonds several daya In advance of tbe appointed time because of over subscribing attested to tbe confidence of investors. The uncertain stats of the International situation was more strikingly exemplified In the complete withdrawal rates of ex changes on the Teutonic countries, presum ably In the absence of any demand. Quota tions for sterling and lires were firm to etrong, but francs receded a fraction, rubles gaining about as much. stocks were irregular at tne opening ex cept for those Issues In which pools recently have been active. The entire use movea forward by noon, however, and was at high est levels In the lsst hour, the activity of that period deriving much of Its momentum rrom snort covering. War shares and equipments dominated the list, Bethelehem Steel old stock rising 4-ri points to 148 and the new 0 tn 141 H. United Htatee Steel made an extreme gain of 3 at 110, with 1 to 3 points for af filiated issues, coppers and snippers were materially higher after early hesitation, and motors made up their early reaction before the close. Foremost specialties Included Ohio gas, which rose 7 points to 140-H with three for American woolen and 3 to 8 points for various unclassified Isauea. Ralls were Irregular, being handicapped by further poor February statements of earnings. Total sales 686,00ft shares. Heaviness of hlirh grade rails made for an Irregular bond mar ket.

It was a day of record making In the grain trade. Wheat, corn and oats all reached new high prloee for the season. Estimates that ths winter wheat crop was at the lowest April condition In the history of the country, did much to stimulate buyers Into unsual activity and thftMnarket closed strong, 8o to 8o net higher with May at $1.99 to $1.99, and July July at 1.67 to 1.67. Corn gained 3o to 4o; oats, o to 1Q. and provisions 7o to 40c wneat trading was a nig nroao arrair from ths outset, with free buying ot May on the part of houses with eastern con nections. Aside from bullish tendencies on the winter crop conditions the failure of predictions of rain for Kansas and Ne braska, proved to be a source of strength. Official reports showed only scattered show ers over those eta tea, and as a result there was a general rush to cover and to make new purchases. Wants of buyers were not even temporarily satlefleld until there bad been an advance of more than la, 'Later a fresh buying rush and still higher prices followed ths Issuance of crop estimates fig uring tn condition ot winter wneat throughout ths country aa 71.1 per cent against a ten-year average of 87 per cent. (Prospects of vigorous measures or war likely to facilitate grain shipments to Europe counted In a general way as a factor in lining wneai prices. - Anotner handicap for the bear side of the market was a good slxed falllng-off In the United States visible supply total. Corn was governed by much the same Influ ences as the wheat market. Offerings were small and values advanced quickly notwith standing assertions that the output of high wlnee at Peoria had been reduced one-half owing to the high price of corn. Active general demand for oata was prompted oy the aharp advance of other grain. Reports of rapid progress In seeding were virtually ignored. Although provisions at the outset wer lower. In line with the hog market, an upturn took place later en account of the strength or grain.
