LIVE STOCK.
CHICAGO.


Chicago, Aug. 1S.-A light supply was
not sufficient for a general demand and
the few droves offered were disposed of
early in the day at stronger prices. A
few fed westerns sold at S3.35M3.65, but
only a small portion of the native beeves
crossed the scales below $500, sales
being mostly between that and $4.65. a
few prime steers sold at SAFE. There
was a good call for stockers and feed
ers of desirable quality, and prices ruled
frmer, advancing. Texas steers sell at
quite wide range, common to good,
$2.30M2 40, while the best sell up to
$685.. A few prime northern rangers
sell at $40, but not many go above
$685. and the bulk sell between $500
and 1926.
Hogs-The pens were quickly emptied
of their occupants, prices ruling stronger
at an average further advance of 10c
Heavy hogs sold at S2.S0M3 40, chiefly
at S220M2.35; medium weight. SO. 10d
$50, principally at S3.25M3.40, and light
weights. $3.25M3.60, chiefly at S3.45m
$50. Prices were 15c higher than at
the close of last week.
Sheep-There was good demand and
prices were stronger. Fat western ran
gers composed the great bulk of the
offerings and sold freely at $265M315,
numbers of natives finding purchasers
at S2.2JGI3.20. There was a good lamb
trade at S3.00M3.50 for culls up to
S5.25cd5.15 for good to prime stock, west
ern lambs fetching S525M5.65, yearlings

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS


| Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The apparent re-
| turn of confidence reflected in New York
stocks and reported frost in Manitoba
gave wheat decidedly stronger tone to-
day. September closed at an advance
of 3-4c. Corn and oats were both
strong, advancing Lie and 3-Sc respec-
lively. Provisions, on the contrary. de-
clined somewhat
| Wheat-Favorab official reports re-
garding the Russian crop prospects were
posted. which had a tendency to weaken
the price, and the northwest movement
was nearly up to the 500 car mark again,
| which had like effect.
Corn was strong and higher; partly in
| sympathy with the advance in wheat
and oats and partly because shorts
showed disposition to take profits
There was not much selling pressure, as
| the price has gotten too low for sellers
| to risk much short selling
Oats were firm, with Il good business
done Offerings were not large.
Provisions ruled lower all day, in spite
| of the strong grain markets and higher
prices prevailing at the yards. Consid-
cradle liquidation was INDUCED in. which
created an easier feeling and decline
from the opening prices resulted. The
closing was steady at decline of Z LIE

ccivcd here today from Augustine, Per,

the large port receipts and rising of es-
innate on the whole to 10000 bales but
large buying orders overcame all of the
offerings, advancing the market rapidly,
the south leading Stop orders were nu-
merous and aided materially in the up
ward movement. Cables were very
strong but showed light trade in spots.
Southern advices are that agents of for
eign houses are buying spot cotton at the
south TO supply the believed small stocks
of cotton held abroad by spinners. In
the afternoon the market was nervous
and unsettled, moving quickly. Crop adj
wees were OF the same unfavOrable char
acter as heretofore. The reports of the
starting of about half of the Fall River
mills and of the Washington mills at
