Pork closed at an advance of sc; lard is un.

The chief factor of strength in wheat was
the unexpected advance in Liverpool cables
which quoted an Improvement in July equal

ed degree than July. Shorts became exceed

losses. There was also some demand for
long account from scalpers, who reasoned
that after such drop as we have had it
was time for the pendulum to swing the
other way. The trade was nervous for a
time and took little note of anything but
the the. bull . factors Later; however, it was
been experienced and that recent statistics
as to the worlds present supplies were really
bearish. The idea of manipulated Liverpool
markets began to take root, the bears re-
gained their courage and began to fight the
advance Domestic receipts of wheat were
light compared with the rate Of movement
a week or so ago, but in the aggregate
Western primary markets were heavier than
those of last year for the similar day, be-
ing 259,ooo blu. against 2oS,Ooo year ago.

heavy the previous days totals this week.
July began 1A@2Ac higher at SS989c, sold
up to s914c, declined steadily to SIC, then
rose to sSc bid, the closing price. Septem-
Der started d., 15s@lhc better at 7eA@s7e sold
then rallied to 1850 at the close.
Steadier cables and the heavy rainfall
throughout the corn states last night inf1u
enced corn at the start. The advance met
heavy selling by bears, however, and was
partly lost Weekly crop bulletins were not
as bullish as expected. July started nc high
at 324@32Ac. sold down to 31la@315sc,
then rallied to 32c, the resting place.
At the opening oats were firm, but eased
off with corn. July opened Nc higher at
23Ac, sold down to 22Ac. and at the close
firmed up to 22B@23c bid.
There was an easy tone in provisions Some
improvement was effected in the price of
pork, but lard and ribs remain about IN
changed from yesterday. July pork opened 10c
higher at s10.SO. sold off to $l010 then up
to $10.25, the closing figure. The range in
lard and ribs small.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,

NEW YORK, June S.-The bears secured
the upper hand again today in the stock mar

ecrobatic performances and easily dominated

and violent. over an extreme range of
points, and thought it made several substan-
tial recoveries, each successive dip carried 1t

expected In Sugar upon the declaration of the

power of the speculative element which has
been working for reaction for several days
to buy stocks at lower level than they were
sold to realize last week. Today was the
beginning of periodical settlement on the
London stock exchange, and it having been
the opinion in Wall street that there was a
heavy outstanding short account there in
Americans, st. Paul, in which the foreign
short account was believed to be the heaviest,

SCARCITY OF MEATS.

'While it Is not generally known 1t is ney-
ertheless the fact that meats have generally
been getting scarcer," said Secretary Wilson
today. There has been marked decrease in
the number of cattle during the last ten or
twelve years, Notwithstanding a rapid in
crease in our population, which becomes
startling in it's significance when we consider
that our people are yearly becoming larger
consumers of meat. The war has undoubted-
ly caused advance in the price of certain
food supplies, but the farmers will realize
little out of the increase. This is period
of the year when the farmers have little to
dispose of. Nine-tenths OF last years crop
of wheat Is out of the hands of the raisers
and the other agricultural products of the
harvest of 1897 are also out of the farmers

THE SHEEP SUPPLY

The enormous supply of sheep bought for
feeders and shipped eastward last winter is
crowding the Eastern markets quite uncom-
fortabiy at present. Chicago for some time
has been the highest market in the country
and quite number of sheep have come here
rom Ohio within the past month. 1t is quite
likely that, owing TO the scarcity of fat sheep
IN the West, shipments to Chicago from
Eastern points will continue for some time

sheep scarce down that way, but most of

Bank building, st. Paul:
Post & Flagg wire us: 1.-THE market open

weakness. Sugar, whose weakness started the
market down, was sold down on the near
approach of the Arbuckle opposition ami
report that the dividend would be only 2
PEE. cent. Later the regular was declared
and the stock rallied but later sold at low
figures again. There have been great many
long stocks sold in past few days by the
professional operators, and they have been
working the market today for lower prices

based on the consolidation of all outside in
terests. The close was generally firm.''
