way from weak to 10o lower, and the trade
was slow at the decline. There were, how
ever, a law beef steers good snough to bring
311.00.

i Ho Offerings of hog wer moderate,
even for Monday, being considerably lighter
than for the opening day of most recent
week. Arrivals were estimated at seventy
tare, or 6,8O0 head, which Is 1,800. smaller
than a week ago, 3,000 short of two weeks
go and S.400 smaller than for the corr.
ponding day a year ago.
With provisions breaking sharply packers
wer able to continue their bearish pro
gram of last week, though outsld Chi
cago moderat supplies were the rule. Lo
cally the trad was very uneven. Shippers
whit baying a few hogs nearly steady
at th outset soon lowered their bids and
filled later orders at around lOo lower
figures.
Early packer bidding vldenoed just as
much uneven eie as did the later selling.
Som early offer were nearly a quarter
lower, whll other wer no more than 6c
off. though these latter wer withdrawn
before many sale wer made. When act
ual selling started It wss at figures that
wer anywhere from a nickel to mostly 100
16o lower generally, or a big lOo down,
and mors than half th packer hogs were
bought that way.
It was net until th close that packers
got eomplet control of th market. With
twenty or twenty-flv cars unsold and he
more urgent order all filled, buyers who
wer etlll In th field reduced their bids
to th lowest levels of the day. By noon
' a number of sales had been made that
wer as much a 30c lower, and buyers
wer talking SOo to as much as a quarter
lower on a doien of trieen oars that wer
still In first hands.

Sheep Predictions msde at last week'
. close that this week's trade would show a
decidedly Tower trend were abundantly ful
viied this morning. packers took no
cognisance of th fact that receipts were
only moderat all around the loop, but pro
ceeded to Inaugurate their annual early
summer drive on lamb prices, making their
opening bids all the way from 60c to a
dollar or more below th figures In force on
last week' close. .
By midday pretty nearly all the native
offerings had been cashed, more sales hav
ing been mad 60076c lower than any ether
way. But all r seven ear of California
(print lambs (hat remained la first hands
wer not awlabl except at a price reduc
tion of more than $1.00, th highest offer
; hat had been mad on the best her being
119.60.
Wooled atock of all descriptions was en
; I rely lacking, and It looks ss though the
woo led season was defnltely closed.

Omaha Future.
Th future market opened easier on
everything with the exception of September
oats, wnicn openea nominally uncnangea.
The whole list continued bearisn through
out the session, wheat closing about 8c
lower on th July and lo off on th Septem
ber article, while July corn closed about 4o
lower and the September about 60 off, but
the December artlcl advanced 8o during
the latter part of th session, Favorable
weather condition were the ruling bearish
factors In today' market, and whll th
recent cold spell would prevent the steady
growth of corn, warmer weather following
tne recent wt weather will probably make
up th loss.

CROWN OIL CO.
of Kentucky
operating extensively in the famon, Irvine Field is clearly indicated
by the following telegram just received.
THE CROWN OIL COMPANY HAVING
VERY HEAVILY INCREASED ITS PRO
DUCTION, HAS DECIDED TO INCREASE
v THE REGULAR DIVIDEND FROM ONE
PER CENT TO TWO PER CENT MONTH
LY. ;. SIGNED, C. D. PRATT, SECRETARY.
The Crown Oil Company now owns leases on upwards of 55,000
acres of oil territory in the productive sections of Kentucky, and is
fast moving towards the 1,000 barrel daily output, which is the
chief aim of the management at this time.
Production now is sufficient to cover the 2 monthly dividend
requirements about four times over and it is expected that in addi
tion to the regular disbursements, substantial extra payments will
be made from time to time. Action along this line is probable in
July.

Chicago. May 28. Llkllhood of a record-

much to do with sharp declines In prices

extreme descent of 74e. Aggressiveness on
the bear side was accompanied by wide
spread assertions that with a continuance of
existing favorable weather conditions the
1817 crop would surpass all known totals,
From every direction came report of In
creased acreage and It was said planting

promising conditions. Besides, a prospective
Increase of arrivals from the country owing
to Improved supply of cars added to the
handicap on the bulls. Reactions which
ensued from the lowest price level reached

ing by shorts.
Wheat showed a little more activity than
is been the rule of late, but the amount
was puny alongside the hug volume of
pusinees in corn. Foreigners appeared to be
th chief sellers of July wheat. The fact
was noted that world shipments were larger,
especially from Australia, Moreover British
advices reported less apprehension regarding
supplies. In addition there was decided op
timum nere concerning tne outlook for the
growing domestic crop. A big decrease In
