GRAIN FIRM BUT SLOW
WHEAT AND CORN A SHADE DOWN
ON LACK OF BUSINESS.
Oats Up an Eighth In a Quiet Mar
kct-ProvisiOns Weak, Closing
at n Considerable Loss.

CHICAGO, May 5.-The wheat market to-
day was steady, helped by cables and good
cash bids. July closing a shade lower. July
corn closed a shade reduced and July oats
1sc higher. AT the close provisions were
weak. 1OQ121ac to 2o9221sc down..
Wheat opened firm under support from
higher Liverpool and Paris cables. Trade
was quiet throughout the session. Until the
prospects for next seasons campaign be-
come somewhat more clearly defined, in
terest In the market, it is thought, is not
likely to become general. Following the
opening there was a brief period of east
ness owing to denial of stories of damage
by chinch bugs. This was recovered, how
ever, on the improved cash demand and
better April bids, and the close was steady.
Predictions were made that the govern
ment report. expected Thursday. will raise
the April condition above the present fig
ure. ST. per cent. Primary receipts were $751;
600 blu, compared with 316, 600 last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 315 cars
against 422 last week and 213 a
year ago. Local receipts were six
teen cars, one of contract grade.
~Clearances, in wheat and flour, were
equal to $50. 900 blu. July sold from 67ssc to
674c. and closed a shade down at 67ssc.
Corn was firm. about the previous days
closing quotations most of the session, and
business was principally of a local char
acter. Gables were firm and country cf-
ferings reported lighter. Receipts here were
25 cars. July sold from 3SS4c TO 40Ac, and
closed a shade reduced at 40G40hc.
Oats were quiet. but firm. There was a
good cash demand. The May-July spread
was narrowed to sc. Receipts were 2O4
cars. July ranged from 23Ac to 231ac, and
closed sc up at 23hG2Szc.
Provisions were dull and heavy. There
was selling by packers and foreigners,
and while there was some buying on the
break the demand generally was scattered
and slow. The hog market was weak, and
this also had a depressing effect. July
pork sold from 81. Kh TO sLS5, and closed

Hogs-Receipts. 1900; shipments, 1900.
The hog market opened active. with a good
demand from all buyers, and the supply
changed hands readily at an average adj
vance of fully SC in prices over yesterday.
The receipts this week show a decrease Of
nearly I,50O compared with last week and
the same week a year ago. and the re-
ceipts so far this year are 1900 smaller
than the same period last year For the
week ending yesterday local packers bought
$500. and the shipments were about II ZOO.
The trade this week has been characterized
by a very Indifferent demand from local
packers, and. in keeping will all other
places, there was a sharp reduction in
prices. About the middle of the week the
average was fully zoe lower than the close
of last week. The reduced prices had the
natural effect of lessening supplies, and by
the close of the week about l0c of the loss
had been regained. The conditions were
such that shippers could get orders, and
they were unusually free buyers at current
prices. The quality generally has been
very satisfactory. but the greatest i'm
provement in the increased number of
good-weight hogs represented. Quotations:

Sheep-Receipts light; shipments nome.
There were no fresh arrivals of sheep or
lambs, consequently the market was quiet
at ouotably unchanged prices. The receipts
this week show a little Improvement over
last week, but are only about half as large
as the same week a year ago. Thus far this
year there is a decrease OF 300 compared
with the same period last year. Continued
limited supplies were responsible for little
or no 1uctuation i'm prices this week, but all
fat stock sold promptly to local butchers
at wha were generally considered firm
prices. A scarcity OF spring lambs forced
buyers to advance prices. and for an ex-
treme sales were $50 per 100 pounds higher
h last week. The condition OF the mar
ket justines a good increase in receipts. and
with enough to interest all buyers II is
expected that the market will be more sat-

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.


The trade of the week ended May 5 was very
satisfactory, all things considered. Travelling
statesmen. on returning from their weekly trips.
report the outlook for this month, in a bust
ness way. to be very promising. Farmers are
very busy blowing. and this curtails trade
somewhat with retail grocers. Tax-paying
season is now over. and 1t has not been so try
ing on the farmers as usual. they being better
fixed financially than for many years, and re-
tail merchants look for a good trade as soon as
the spring crops are in and the farmers can
bring grain and produce TO the market and
realize thereon. In prices last week changes
were few. Sugars and coffees moved well. with
no change in prices. Rice was in good request.
Syrups and molasses continued neglected, and
canned goods and evaporated fruits are now
selling slow. Navy beans are frmer. On Com
mission row trade was Disappointing, due moro
to a shortage OF stock In the way Of new vege-
tables and green stun. Irish potatoes are NOV
ing slowly. For oranges, bananas and pine
apples there is an active request. also for lem
ons. which advanced on Friday 25c a box. Eggs
and poultry are In active request at prices
quoted. Butter is dull on large receipts and
poor quality. The provision market is active,
but prices are not as firm as ten days ago.
The local grain market is quiet on light re-
ceipts. Farmers are too busy to carry grain
TO the railway stations. All cereals are In active
request at the following range of prices on

MAY 5.-Cattle-Receipts light: shipments

cattle on sale to-day and all were taken by
local killers at quotably steady prices. COM
pared with yesterday. The receipts this
week show very little change, compared
with last week and the corresponding week
a year ago. Thus far this year the receipts
are about 1000 smaller than the same peri
cd last year. From the beginning of the
week there was an easier tendency in the
market for export steers, and by the mid
die of the week. which was the low time,
prices were 15d25c lower than the close of
last week. Shippers were unable TO get
very many orders, and with only a moder-
ate demand from local killers II was more
or less difficult to negotiate sales at re-
duced prices. With quite a falling of in
the receipts at the close of the week and an
Improvement in the demand from all
sources the trading was active. and fully
10 of the loss in prices was regained.
There was no perceptible change in the
market for stockers and feeders until the
close of the week, when, in keeping with
other grades, they sold at advanced prices.
A smaller proportion of strictly choice cat
tie were represented than usual. and with
few exceptions there were none in their
class good enough to command extreme
prices. Quotations:

FATAL GAS EXPLOSION.
ONE KILLED AND FIVE HURT NEAR
LOGANsPORT, IND.

LoGANSPORT, Ind, April 15.-Too
much pressure and a piece of defective
gas pipe in the mains of the Chicago Pipe
company at point four miles south
east of here was the cause of terrific
explosion today, in which Michael Ellison
Jr. was instantly killed and five other
men received injuries from which It is
doubtful if some recover.
Twelve men were in the trench repair
ing a leak in a ten-inch main from which
the gas had been transferred to an eight
inch main near it. The men were around
a '"T'' in the eight-inch main, and Ellison
was STOPPING over it when the pipe gave
way, and he was found 150 feet away, his
bones broken, and probably having met
instant death. George Morrison, in charge
of the work, found himself sprawling on
the ground thirty feet away, with gravel
and dirt blown into his skin, MS whole
body wrenched, and most of his clothes
torn and tattered, but no bones broken.
viii Briggs was also hurled some dis
tance. and was taken home unconscious.
Three men were knocked down and b.uis-
ed in a frightful manner, but the rest of
the men escaped with slight injuries from
flying dirt and rock.
In each explosion the victims get black

GOOD FELLOWSHIP CLUB
NEW ORGANIZATION OF GENERAL
WESTERN PASSENGER AGENTS.

CHICAGO, April 15-The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say: General passenger
agents of Western lines centering in Chi
cago have formed a new organization,
which will undoubtedly have an important
bearing upon the relations existing be-
tween the various lines interested. The
organization is without a name. 1t was
decided by the general agents that the
matter should be kept quiet, and few out
side of the general passenger agents have
been aware of the existence of the as
sociation. Last week the second meeting
of the association was held at the Well
ington hotel.
THE club has but one article and one
bylaw, which provides that members
shall meet six times a year and infor-
mally discuss every subject of interest
in the several departments of the roads.
The club grew out of one of the meet
ings of the Western Passenger associa-
ton, when some one suggested that diff
ferences could be more easily settled II
general passenger agents were more Ia
miliar with the conditions and require
ments of other than their own roads.
There will be no pretense of settling any
questions at any of the meetings, and
the organization does not aim at acqui-
sition of power or authority. Good fel-
lowship, better acquaintance and the bet
terment of the passenger service Is the
unwritten motto"
