new barley of this years cropw received
to-day. 1t was from below Springfield
this state, and inspected No. on account
of being light in weight, stained and
sweating. Last year the first new barley
was received July 81 from Nebraska and
inspected No. 8.
A good speculative business was trans
acted in the market for hog products, and
the shipping inquiry was fair, but trading
was checked to some extent by difference
in the minds of operators. Offerings for
future delivery we're quite free, and the
demand moderately active, especially
from shorts. The market in a general way
exhibited considerable strength, and a
material advance in prices was gained
and moderately well maintained
to the close. Receipts of hogs
were quite liberal here and at other lead
ing points in the west, but this appeared
to have little or no influence on the course
of the market for products. Foreign ad-
vices were meagre and indicated no par
ticular change in prices. The reports from
domestic markets showed a steadier feel
ing. Receipts of products were fair, and
shipments of all kinds liberal. Steadiness
in the hog product is now bringing in
shipping orders, and the large stocks are
not offered except at an advance.
Armour has been buyer, where he
could be traced at all, and his friends aver
that he means what he says in arguing for
better prices. New York was specu-
latiYe buyer, but owing to the
Subject to delay" her orders were always
marked little below our quotations, and
her trade amounted to much less than it
would have done had the wires worked
smoothly. Receipts of hogs were really
smaller than had been expected, and it
must be said in explanation that washouts
have detained some trains. The estimated
$4,000 il Chicago early was raised to 49,
600 later, and 1900 is estimated for to-
morrow. There were 5000 received in
Kansas City. Many commission men are
advising their customers not to sell either
pork or lard short at present.
There was fair business transacted in
mess pork, but as usual it was merely on
speculative account. The offerings were
not quite so free, and the demand showed
some improvement, especially from local
shorts. Orders from outside parties
showed a little increase. The market
opened rather steady at s971ac decline on
yesterdays closing figures. and quickly ad.
vsnced 156 Csc. Later the feeling was
not quite so strong and prices receded
again sol Oc. Toward the close the market
showed little more strength and prices
rallied again, closing steady. The ship
ping demand was fair in quiet way and
orders were mainly for small lots, a good
portion of which are received by mail.
Cash is in moderate demand and quotable
at $14@14.25 according to quality.
There was fair business reported in
the lard market, and the feeling was COM
parativelY steady. Spectators we're in
clined to do fair business, and shippers
and exporters were favored with few Or
ders. The offerings were not very large,
and the demand was moderately active.
The market opened steady at slightly re-
duced figures, but gradually grew stronger
and prices were advanced 10@15c per 100
pounds. During the latter part of the
session the market ruled with considera BILE
steadiness, and the appreciation was well
maintained. Cash was in moderate request
and quotable at $9@9.0 5.
