Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, ILL.,, March 30
The week opened with good supply
of cattle, the receipts being estimated
at IL, 500 head against 17,451 last Mon
day, and 1926 a year ago. There
was fairly active demand and strict

an average reduction of 10 cents per 100
pounds. Half fat cattle of medium to
pretty good quality predominated.
The receipts of hogs today were I'M
expectedly large. being about $4,000
against 21.SS5 last Monday, and %, 652

wanted the hogs but they were quick
to perceive the advantage offered by
the liberal supply and their purchases
were made at reductions of SOLO cents

There was a rousing big supply of
sheep and lambs today, the receipts
being estimated at 1000 head as com
pared with 1884 last Monday and 49,

sheep enabled commission men TO dis

THE ELEVATOR TRUST.
Good Reason to Believe it May Go to
Pieces.


Chicago, March 29.-The Record this
morning publishes the following:
Lake vessel men and western rail-
road agents are said to be looking
forward to the speedy collapse of the
elevator trust at Buffalo The effects
of the collapse will probably do much
to protect the lake route against the
gulf ports and more southern routes
to the Atlantic. For years the Buffalo
elevator pool has been master OF the
situation and steadily refused to lower
its charges.
Early this year some Chicagoans took
a hand in the fight. Armour q Co. and
Bartlett, Fraser & Co. started to build
in Buffalo an immense steel elevator,
which is now nearly completed, and II
is announced that the same firms Will
build another 1t is said that the next
move will be to enter New York and
Buffalo as a sort of way station. In
stead of selling grain in Chicago 1or
delivery at Buffalo or Erie, II VIII De
sold for delivery at the port OF New
York. Counselman & Co. are said to
have made the same arrange nentS Tor
the handling of their grain by way
of Erie and have leased the Pennsyl-
vania elevator at Jersey City. Al the
port of New York the charges are said
to be even more eXtortionate than at
Buffalo.
1t is said Chicago will be able to
control the traffic by the lakes when
the pool breaks, as it will reduce trans
portation to the seaboard cents a
bushel The breaking up of the pool
at Buffalo and New York will, 1t IS
said, add at least , cents a bushel to
the value of grain in the west, since
the export price is made by making the
price at Liverpool and subtracting the
cost of getting it there.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.
May Wheat Closes g Higher Than
Saturday-Oats Also Higher.

Chicago. March 29.-The wheat mar
ket for the first few moments of to-
days session was possessed of more ac-
tivity than has been witnessed FOR
some time. but the animation was not
enduring, and shortly afterwards trade
fell into the rut which has been a
characteristic for several weeks. The
tone was firm, however, a very gloomy
view of the crop situation and or the
present supply position, published in a
morning paper, tending to inspire con-
fidence in better prices Light world S
shipments, 3,723o00 bushels, decline
in English consols and a decrease in
the amount of ocean passage of 100000
bushels, were firming considerations.
On the other hand. heavy northwestern
receipts. S44 cars against 1874 last Mon
day, and 535 a year ago, and not par
ticularly strong Liverpool cables re-
strained buying enthusiasm. Chicago
receipts were IA cars, and $500 bushels
were taken from store The visible sup
ply decreased ,4O5. 900 bushels, the re-
duction being larger than expected,
and, consequently, helping prices. Clos
ing Paris cables were partly higher
and partly lower. Export clearances
were liberal at 421, 361 bushels.
May wheat opened from 72B to 73,
sold between 1874 and 1885, closing at
7S1k, g higher than Saturday. Esti
mated receipts for tomorrow, So cars
No. red spot wheat, S6a4 @S93s. closing
about S71sQS9k.
Oats-Oats found motive for i'm
provement in light receipts, Ill cars,
and in the upward tendency of wheat
and corn. London quoted cd. advance
for oats in the Mark Lane market. The
weather forecast of rain, which will
further retard oats seeding, was
firming influence. Export cleardnces
were liberal at IA, 335 bushels. Local
inspection from stores amounted to
114,119 bushels. The visible supply de-
creased 1000 bushels. May oats closed
Il higher than Saturday. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow, 1876 cars.
Flax was steady. Cash No. 1. 76;
northwestern, 79@79i2; May, 76@761s;
July. 77& September, 1874. Receipts,
80 cars.
Provisions-The run of hogs at the
yards this morning proved too heavy
for the requirements and depression in
price therefore resulted, which had the
effect of weakening produce at the
start Offerings of provisions were
heavy and the buying was much more
cautious than recently. prices dropping
rather sharply but rallying on cover
ing later. May pork closed 5@71s cents
higher, May lard 212 cents higher and
May ribs unchanged.
