for May wheat at Tic. which prevented
a further decline, and on buying against

quite steady. In a Iiquidating market it is
difficult to forecast, but many believe the

4 like showing Of net earnings and sur
plus for the entire year would give for the

division of the stock into common and pre-

holders and which is now under cOnsidera-
ton. would permit Of immediate dividends

coo 600 preferred and S3S, 0G0 600 common
were made, for instance, a dividend Of

with a surplus equal to about / per cent

Light Saturday Run, Quality

TOPS REST ON $500
Cattle Market Steady With
Good Supply.

All the western markets yesterday re-
ported lower quotations, and the Wichita
market went off in sympa thy. Most OF
the other points sent in weak TO cents
lower and slow, and all experienced a dull
and Iifeless trading, with light receipts.
The day on the local market was light
in point of receipts and the quality very
fair. As compared with the Saturday pre-
vious, the receipts were below those Of
that date, and the average weight was
also under that of the Saturday preYi-
Gus. The tops were the same for both
dates, s.. co. and the bulk range about the
same. The demand was good yesterday,
but the usual Saturday dizziness, augment
ed by IN heavy roads throughout most or
the tributary territory caused by the pre-
vailing rains made shipping and getting
to the points a matter of considerable diff
ficulty, and consequently the receipts were
light yesterday, even for Saturday. Eve
rything offered, however, was promptly
bid upon and absorbed and there was
sufficient demand 10 take in even more
hogs of a like grade Of quality. The quail
ity Yesterday of the little hog offerings
which did appear was generally pretty
fair, there being at least two cars, the
two to receive the top price, which were
above the average. These were both hdv-

was practically no wagon trade and the
car stuff dragged somewhat for that much
of 1t which was Of poor grade. Besides
the top loads, there were two loads OF
lights and a load of mediums, all selling
however. at the best they could command.
The enthusiasm of the trading and the
buying element was only minimized by
the lack of good hog material 10 deal IN,
and the close found all the pens empty
and more wanted. Provisions We're de-
pressed ard all other live stock centers
also reporting a downward tendency had
the very natural effect of lowering the
local market. 1t mas been in all week
of ups and downs, with the trade gener-
ally active and the sales to the adVant-
age of shippers. There has been at most
of the western markets falling off in hog
receipts and yet the professions and best
informed experts are united in saying that
this is solely due to the attention at thls
season of the farmers to their sowing ana
planting to the neglect of shipping. Inls
market. while showing a falling off, IS
very good, comparatively.
