CHICAGO, May 2s.-Lack of short inter-
est and promise of ~superabundant crops
throughout the world caused a decided
slump In wheat today July closed 2zM3i2c

&c higher and oats nc lower. Lard and
ribs are &c higher. Pork declined 7I5c.
At the start I'm wheat there was more or
less covering by shorts, who. in view of the
holiday Monday and the nervous condition
of the trade, seemed to be disposed to even
up. The demand from that interest was re-
sponsible for early strength, but when
buyers were satisfied and withdrew trade
became sluggish. The bear news multiply
ing and the bull interest getting no support
the selling rush became so aggressive and
vigorous mat everything was swept before

the short selling, the market getting de-
moralized. The impression became general

longer to resist the natural course of
prices. There was no Liverpool cables,

ready in that market. There was consider

the shorts showed n strong disposition to
even up. Receipts at Chicago were 300 cars,

SHEEP-There were Thirteen loads res

Colorado lambs, the most of them wooled,
SO that there was not much of a selection
for buyers. There was n demand for them,
however, and they would have sold readily
had the owners been willing to OFFER them.
The market all the week has been in
good shape for sellers. Very few mutton
sheep have been received and all accounts
agree that the supply in the country Is
practically exhausted. Such lots as have
arrived nave brought good, firm prices.
The receipts for the week have consisted
largely of lambs, which have been good
sellers at advanced prices. Some tail ends
of large lunches of wooded Colorado lambs
sold during the week at $3.50 and $3.50.
while as high as S5.S5 was offered and re-
fused for others, showing the strong tend
ency of the market. 1t would be safe to
quote lambs for the week at least 1OQl5o
higher than q week ago.

though the offerings of stock cattle were
larger than on some days.
The market on fat cattle was not what
sellers like to see. 1t was a Saturday, the
requirements of buyers were not apparently
very urgent and they did not seem to care
for very many unless they could get them
at prices that would make it some object
for carrying them over into next week.
The trade as a whole might be summed up
as a very slow, dull and upon the whole
unsatisfactory market; Some of the most
quite readily and in some instances not
much lower, but the general market, in
addition to being slow, was lower, and the
heavier the cattle the worse they sold.
Very few cows and heifers We're on sale,
not more than seven or eight loads, and
they brought about the same prices as
yesterday. Bulls, stays, etc, also sold in
about the same notches as the day before.
Veal calves continue in good demand at
The cattle market during the week has
not been all that could be desired by the
selling interests and still there has been a
fair sized demand. In fact the demand at
this point has been such that prices have
been better maintained than at the mar
/, kets further east and such cattle as have
| gene forward in first hands have generally
lost money. AS to values. heavy cattle
have suffered a decline of 10p15c for the
brands. Handy little cattle, on the other
hand, nave been good sellers all the week
and prices on that kind are fully as good
as they were at the close of the previous
week. Choice. little heifers have also held
up to about steady prices, but the general
market on cows and heifers is 10415c lower
than a week. ago. So few stockers and
feeders have been on sale during the week
PARSONS, but 1t is noted that some cattle
that have been brought in during the week
have not sold quite so readily and 1t might
be surmised that If any great number were
on sale the market would be a little easier.
Still such cattle as nave sold have brought
very high prices and probably as good as
last week. Representative sales:
