WOOL MARKET,

Boston, March The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
The wool market has been almost life
less since our last report There has
been but little inquiry for any kind Of
stock, as most manufacturers have been
practically out of the market, being pref
ty well supplied for the time being and
will not be tempted to buy. Those who
are not plentifully supplied have been
holding off, pending the opening of the
London wool sales, and the fact that
these sales opened on Tuesday at a de-
cline of 712G10 per cent has not been cal
culated TO induce them to hasten their
purchases Of the raw material. In such
a dull condition of affairs, the market is
naturally a little weak, although at this
writing owners of wool have not mani
tested any marked disposition TO press
sales as they well know that many man
ufacturers are so well stocked with wool
that it would require considera BILE con-
cession TO induce them to take hold. The
sales Of the week in Boston amounted to
100000 domestic, and 5000 foreign, MAX
ing a total of 1,SS5.OO0, against a total
of 2,391,000 for the previous week and
total of s, 332, 600 for the corresponding
week last year. The sales since January
amount to S32, sol. coo pounds, against &c.
1880 pounds for the corresponding time

CINE room A large space is being fitted
up for the use Of the machinists and the
latest and best patterns Of machinery are
being installed. There will be a full COM
plement, and any kind of work will be
done. The Dold Packing company's plant
is so large and there is so much ma
chinery to be looked after that it requires
the attention Of several men. To aid
them in the work and obtain the best re-
suits was the reason Of the installation
Of the shop.
NEW BREED OF HOGS.
The American stockman has developed
no distinct breed of hogs. Although we
have breeds called American, they have
been developed from foundation stock
brought over from Europe. The nearest
10 an American hog is the Cheshire,
which was probably produced by cross
ing Berkshires, Yorkshires. Suffolks and
Essex The breed was first recognized
IN 1853 and has certain qualities which
make 1t adapted to farm conditions In
the United States. While not unusually
large, they attain a good size, often
reaching 500 to 600 pounds During recent
years they have been bred more for
beauty Of form and quality than for
size, and consequently the Cheshires Of
today are smaller than those of forty
years ago. The one good quality that
the heshire adu1irer claims above all 9TH
ers for his breed is early maturity. In
this respect they surpass ali other breeds
Many instances are known OF pigs dress
ing 400 pounds when nine months old.
For pork purposes no pig should be kept
more than nine months, consequently the
Cheshire produces a larger animal at this
age than other breeds, and is more profit
able. Another claim IS that the flesh IS
exceptionally solid and firm in texture
and Of very fine grain. It has a larger
proportion Of lean meat than any other
breed, which Of course is very desira-
BILE. II the feeder wants fat pork, all
he has do is to keep the Cheshire a lit
tie longer. The fat meat is also noted
for compactness as we'll as the lean.
Buyers are not often able to guess the
weight Of Cheshires, because OF this
quality. They are usually much heavier
than their size indicates.

WHEAT MARKET HEAk
Ohio Crop Report and St.

Corn Up, Oats Down and Pro-
visions Mixed.
MAY A HALF-CENT DOWN

Chicago, March 7.-Wheat formed q
moderately active market at times today
but both the speculative and cash pros
| poets were bare, resulting in z narrow
range. May opened unchanged at e6G
este, and supported st. Louis buying and
higher cables, advanced to 661sG6S14c. An
| unfavorable report of crop conditions in
Ohio, conjurfng up visions of damages in
other states as well, received some con-
sideration also. Till nearly noon the mar
ket chung steadily around &c. Then in
fuence in the shape OF a break at st.
Louis, liberal receipts and the light de-
mand made themselves felt, bearing May
to 6Sssc. The close was barely steady.
The unusually heavy receips of -four,
175,0O0 barrels, excited considerable inter
est here, but 1t IS said that most Of of
the stuff is merely in transit from Min
neapolis. New York reported fifteen loads
of wheat taken for export. Atlantic port
clearances in wheat and -four were equal
to 231,000 bushels. Primary receips were
$1,000 bushels, compared with $1,000 last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
CD cars, against 623 last week, and Ss9
year ago. Receips here were SO cars, none
of contract grade.
The corn market was strong nearly the
whole session, yielding bit at the end on
profitable taking, but closing firm. The
main support was the assertion that a
Baltimore exporter had taken 100000
bushels from here within the last two
days. Cables were higher, country ac-
ceptances over night small, and upon
good authority it Is said that there was
an export rate of 101ac on corn TO Boston.
a 10
business was done The weakness in wheat
near the end caused some timorous ones
TO take their profits while the chance ex-
listed Local receips were q cars, q cars
over the estimate May ranged from s. to
35l4c, and closed a shade up at 35G351sc.
Oats were very dull, steady most of the
time, with corn, but yielded finally with
the wheat break. Traders were rather
beartsh, because under fair conditions
will be under way in the southwest and
increased country offerings are looked
over the estimate. May sold from 23iz a
23a.o, and closed &c under yesterday at
$3.50.
The provision pit was remarkable for
its dullness. 1t was half-deserted at
times. and trades were small and far be-
tween. There was, however, just enough
cash demand to keep stocks from ac-
cumulating, and this, combined with the
strength of corn, held the market steady
after a fashion. May pork closed 219c I'M
der yesterday at $1,000; May lard, IN
changed at $.S71a. and May ribs unchang-
ed at IS. S2la.
Estimated receips for tomorrow: Wheat,
40 cars; corn, 325; oats, 200; hogs, 5000
head.

HOGS FIVE HIGHER
Market Made a Heavy Advance
Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.67 ~
Quality Was Much Poorer
Than Previous Day.

The provision market was 21kG5 cents
higher yesterday. Heavy hogs advanced
about ~ cents above the previous day,
while light hogs, owing to the heavy de-
mand made an advance Of at least 3
cents over Tuesday. The market opened
firm and the advance was made as quick
~ as trading began. The demand was
very heavy for all grades and there was
not near enough hogs on the market TO
supply it.
The TOD price Of the day was 81. 67lz
The bulk Of the hogs sold at A.62110
40. Both the top and the bulk OF the
sales were at an advance Of at least ~
cents over the previous day. The real
advance however, was al least 8 cents
as the quality Of the hogs bringing the
same prices were not nearly the same.
The top was the hikhest price which
has been paid for hogs on this market
for over a week.
The quality yesterday was quite COM
mon. There were few loads of really
good hogs on the market. There was
quite a liberal supply Of lights in and
they were of fairly good grade. The
quality Of the general run did not begin
To compare with the previous day, or for
several days past. 1t was about the same
grade as the runs Of hogs received here
several weeks ago, when a good load Of
toppy hogs would have sold for at least
5 cents over the top of the day.
The receipts yesterday were light.
There were quite number of wagon
hogs on the market for the first time
in over week The heavy roads have
compelled the farmers 10 remain at home,
as 1t was folly to attempt to pull a
