Some announcement.

CHICAGO, May 2.-Liberal liquidations,
together with bearish weather reports from
wheat states, caused a further decline In
wheat today. July closed at &c, or &c
below yesterday. Corn and oats closed
fairy firm, after early weakness. Pork was
heavy; lard and ribs steady.
There was n good trade and fairly active
wheat market, values having free range.
There was rather more outside trade,
chiefly on eastern account, and the feeling
developed, like that of yesterday, was weak,
and still lower prices were established, july
selling off to 61Ac and September to 62Ssc.
There was further liquidation, a good deal
of July coming on the market, part of
which looked like New York selling, houses
with eastern connections being active on
that side of the market. The news at hand
was considered bearish and the market
evidently still felt the effect of the May
liquidation. Chief among the bear in
fluences presented was the better weather
conditions in the northwest, ii being gen
orally clear and warm in that section, and
then cables came weak Liverpool showing
a decline of lRmAd on futures. There was
a fair trade in corn early, with less doing

good weather, continued liquidation and
fair receipts, were the chief influences in
creating the easier tone.
The oats market was weaker and lower

Cattle Hogs Sheen


CATTLE-For a Saturday the receipts OF
cattle at this point were very large, there
being 1888 head in the yards, but at other
points the receipts were about as light as
usual on the last day of the week. This
rapid advance in values during the past
few days has evidently stimulated ship
ments, and a good many operators ON the
market are looking forward to a much
larger run of cattle at all market points
next week and "A possible break in values.
They figure that the Improvement in the
market during the past few days has been
due to a shortage in the supply of beef cat
tie and not to any material increase in the
demand.
While the receipts were large for the last
of the week, they were none too large for
the demand at this point. TIL buyers were
all in the saddle early and every hoof in the
yards changed hands by the middle of the
forenoon. The prices paid were steady to
strong on all kinds of killing cattle and the
market was upon the whole in a most salts
sold at $500, and the bulk of all the sales
was inside-the range, $3.151390.
Butchers stock sold freely and the eight
to ten loads of cows and heifcrs in the
yards changed hands in short order.
There were several lunches of pretty good
heifers among the offerings which sold
from $500 up to $3.50, with one bunch of
spayed heifers at $40.
Stockers and feeders as usual at this
and everything sold, the market remaining
ers sold as high as 1921. Representative

DELAWARE, o., May 2.-Thc students OF
the Ohio Wesleyan university went on a
grand strike last night at chapel time. One
thousand students gathered at the chapel
entrance and then deliberately marched
away. Some preparatory students over
stepped the bounds of reason and battered
down the signs of merchants as they passed
along the streets in the line of march.
The cause of the strike Is said to be that
the faculty have greatly disappointed the
college glec club. which has arranged a long
western tour, under the approval of tho
faculty, and now, just on the eve Of making
the tour, such conditions are put upon them
as to make it barely possible for the tour to
be made.

HOGS-The week closed with only a moderate
run of hogs, the receipts for the day amounting
to only 1884 head, as against 5000 head on Satur-
day a week ago. AS was the case with cattle, the
demand was very good and the buyers were not
long in clearing the pens. The market was &c
higher than yesterday, il being largely a sS,15
market, as against a 1910 market yesterday.
As high as $3.50 was paid for the best light
weights, under 200 pounds, while the light mixed
averaging up to $40 pounds, sold largely at 81. 20D
3.25. The medium weight and mixed loads Of
heavier weights went largely at 50, 10.
The general course of the hog market during
the past week was downward and in that respect
unsatisfactory to the selling interests, at the same
time the demand has been good all the week,
and everything received has met with ready
sale. As n result of the moderate receipts and
excellent demand this market has been better
sustained and values have averaged considerably
above competing markets.
At the opening OF the week hogs were selling
on this market at a range Of s.. 2D03. 30 and on
Tuesday light hogs touched $40. That proved
to be the high point of the week, and values
dropped rapidly until on Friday the bulk Of the
sales was at So. lOH3.l5, the lowest point touched
in the history Of the yards. Representative

Editor CalE-Since my last letter the newly
organized Eshom Valley Gun and Fish Club
has received and planted $4,000 young trout.
Most OF the fish were planted in the north fork
of the Kaweah River, just below Eshom Valley,
and the balance in Redwood Creek, in Red
wood Canyon.
Last Friday when Messrs. Ellis and Pattee
were informed by j. Sub Johnson, the popular
secretary of the Visalia Sportsman Club, that
the fish would arrive in the evening, both of
them were like q fish out of water, but in few
minutes Gained down, and it was decided that
Mr.. Pattee should start out for Eshom Valley
and have pack horses in readiness to transfer
the cans on the arrival of Mr.. Ellis with the
consignment in the wagon.
Since the organization of the club, Eshom
Valley is now seriously thinking of branching
out as summer resort. 1t was my good for
tune to meet that grand old G. A. r. veteran,
bear-hunter, etc., Tom East, and in a chat he
informed me that up to date six applications
had been received by the club for cottages
next summer.
Last Tuesday the local Examiners were de-
feated by the Alerts OF Alameda by a score OF
IL to 2. Our boys have filed protest on the
ground of unfair decisions by Umpire Lowrie.
He is also accused of using signals to the
Alerts' batsmen.
fine regular nine play at Lindsey next Sun
day. A rafting game is expected. CARROLL.
