Lumber Market Strong.

The lumber situation is not materially
different from what IL was a week ago
but iobbers were not looking for any great
improvement, and so they are not disap,
pointed. Country dealers are too heavily
stocked. and farmers too busy with theiI
spring work for jobbcrs to expect a very
lively trade for the next thirty days or so
local dealers think they ought TO do quite
a business, that is, If indications are favor
able for good crops, The market is as
peclally Is this true of yellow pine, which
has been advanced, as previously an
nounced.
The hide market is somewhat stronger

Wheat started quiet but firm at un-

a puzzling mixture, but later in the day
the reports became worse than ever, while
the dry weather was suggestive of still more
damage. A private cablegram from Berlin
indicated a possibility of Russia prohibiting
exports of grain on account of famine. This
announcement together with the depressing
character of the home crop information, i'm
parted some courage to buyers and for a
time the market exhibited an upward ten

the market was in good shape, practically
everything selling in good season. As usual,
however. on a Saturday, there vas not
cattle reported in four cars were consigned
direct TO Cudahy and three cars to Ham
mond. All told there We're only about a
dozen loads of beef steers on sale. The
prices paid were steady to strong as COM
pared with yesterday.
Cows and heifers sold at good, firm prices,
the few here being disposed OF in short
order. Other kinds of cattle sold at steady
prices.
During, the early part Of the week the
market broke lOql5c on beef steers but
during the latter half it frmed up. AT the
close of the week 1t is safe to quote handy
weight beef steers at loo higher than at the
close of last week, good heavy cattle as
strong to a shade higher than last weeks
with last week.
Cows and helfers were in moderate supply
mand and the market in consequence was
active on that kline and values firm. AS
compared with a week ago the market is
now strong or possibly a little higher. Veal
but the market did not show any material
change. In fact veals have sold in the

the good ones going at $65OQ6-l %. Bulls are
poor property, as every one who has tried
to dispose of any has discovered. The only
bulls that can be sold without hard work
are choice little stock bulls All others are
slow and lower.
The stocker and feeder market has not
shown any material change for the week.
Arrivals have averaged very light, while
there has been a moderate demand, so that
the market has been in a healthy condition
all the week. AS a general thing operators
on rhe market anticipate rather a light de-
mand during the next week or two on the
theory that the farmers will be too busy
putting in their crops to come to market
after feeders. Representative sales:
