Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there

The statement of Mr.. Mcclure as

borne out by numerous Howard coun-

County Commissioners Hess, Dorsey

stated that he long ago discovered

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Feb. 26.--Holders of wheat had neither a profitable nor an enjoyable eX- perence today but despite adverse news. the decline in price which took place met with stubborn resistance. Around the put" price and below it the demand proved important enough to check the falling ten dency. May wheat opened from 74iaGp 745sc and sold at 747sc and 7Sa4c, closing at 74ikd74hc--5sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was irregular, closing l5o under yes- terday.
 A few trades in moderately large lots of corn took place, the sellers being commits sion houses and the buyers local scalpers. to, the market was lfeless or as near so as it was possible to be-. Little news aside from the regular daily statistics was in circulation. May corn opened at 24kc, sold between 2fss and 237sc, closing at 2S1s M2c-A of a cent under yestrday. Cash corn was steady, the nominal closing being easy with the futures.
 On fair sized line of short oats, probably 300 600 or 100000 bushels were covered dur ing the morning, but when that demand was removed, the market flattened out and prices ruled easy and business dull. The movement of prices generally was in accord with that in wheat and corn. May oats closed A@aic under yesterday. Cash oats were steady, closing nominally easy.
 Provisions-The prevailing dullness in the other speculative markets penetrated that of product early. No trade, that in any way savored of importance or significance was then noted. Prices were little lower, Tn the day prices firmed up on buying by a prominent packer and commission houses representing English interests May pork closed 5d719c higher, May lard a shade higher and May ribs 2l2c higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

New York, Feb. 26-Eiverpool threw bombshell into the bear camp thIs morning. The early cables reported an active and higher spot market, with sales of 20,00O bales and an advance of 3-64 in futures Private adviees from Liverpool and the south were very bullish in their tenor and the open ing here was at rise of ' points above last nights quotations. The bulls are ag- gressive now and after the opening forced prices upward, but very heavy selling to realize proved too much for them and when rumors became current that Hester would again report a movement much heavier than expected a decline of several points ensued. The rumor proved false one and the market partially recovered the loss May opened at 71S, advanced to 719, de- clined to TIP and closed at 7.16d7.17, with the market steady. There will be fuctua- tions, of course, but the array of bullsh factors grows steadily more formidable.
