LIQUIDATION WAS HEAVY
CORN TOOK THE LEAD EARLY AND
DECLINED HALF A CENT.
Cats Also Lower, but Wheat Recov-
cred It's Loss-Provisions Strong
and Closed at Advances.

CHICAGO. May 12.-Liquidation Of long
corn, wheat and oats was again the fea-
ture on the Board of Trade to-day. The
decline brought out demand, however,
and the close shows fair recovery. July
corn closed &c under yesterday; July
wheat shade improved and July oats
&c down. Provisions were quiet, closing
at a small gain over yesterday.
The corn liquidation was the feature on
Change. Trade began with the market
steady. but it speedily turned weak. The
weather favorable for planting, the proved
inability of the remaining bulls in the mar
ket to hold in the face of the poor ex-
port inquiry, and change of general specu-
lative sentiment. encouraged more short
selling, which, in turn, caused liquidation.
Following the opening the long stuff came
out in heavy lots and the pit was very
animated. July opened at 371sc to S77sc and
sold off in short order to 363sq361kc. Then
the market gradually recovered to 374c,
at which 1t closed, 1sc under yesterday.
Receipts were 166 cars.
The wheat market opened steady, be-
cause cables were less weak than had been
expected, in view of the decline here the
previous session. The corn weakness soon
made itself felt, however. the opening hav-
ing been at 65Bd66c, and July sliding of,
under active selling, to 651sd65Ac fredic-
tons of rain in the Northwest were also
an influence in the selling, as that section
of the wheat growing country has been
clamoring for moisture for some time.
Shorts covered on the decline, and as
prices had declined rather temptingly to
buyers, the market rallied and closed with
the early loss nearly all recovered, July
unchanged from yesterday at 652c At
lantic port clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to $4,000 blu. Primary receipts
were 469, 900 blu, compared with $50 900 last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth received
424 cars, against BIS last week and 236 a
year ago. Local receipts were q cars,
none of contract grade.
Oats were easy in sympathy with corn
and on stop loss selling by commission
houses. The market still felt the bearish
effect of the Illinois crop report, and the
fine weather was also bearish influence
Receipts were 169 cars. July sold between
22B@22Ac and 21lzQ215sc and closed steady,
Ac under yesterday, at 21Sc.
Provisions were quiet and firm, but with
out any notable incident to the trade

Hogs - Receipts, $500; shipments, 100.
The hog market opened with fair demand
from order buyers, but packers were back
ward and rather Indifferent. Statesmen were
asking higher prices and finally succeeded
in making a clearance at an average adj
vance of about 2ikc over yesterday. The
receipts this week are 1000 larger than last
week and nearly 5000 smaller than the
same week year ago. Thus far this year
there is decrease of over $1,000 compared
with the same period last year. During
the week ending yesterday local packers
bought about 1900 and the shipments were
little over 10000. The week opened strong,
but later sales were at unevenly lower
prices, the decline in some instances being
fully l0c. There was a tendency toward
more strength the latter part of the week,
and final sales were fully as high as the
close of last week Local packers as usual,
were the most liberal buyers but probably
would not have been had there not been a
good demand from outside sources. The
quality continued generally satisfactory.
but there were probably fewer good heavy
hogs than last week. Quotations.:

There were no fresh arrivals of sheep or

smaller than the same week a year ago.
Thus far this year there is decrease of
over 600 compared with the same period
last year. There has been a continued good
demand for all fat sheep and yearlings,
and strong prices have prevailed. Spring
lambs sold higher. at the beginning of the
week, but when the supply was nearly
equal to the demand there was the natural
reaction in values, amounting to about
60c per 100 pounds. Quotations:

The quality Of the offerings remains much

but few hogs above 200 pounds average.
There were also quite number of heavy

often increase the average weight OF a
load of pigs to appear as IL they were good
weight lights. The market to-day opened
strong and possibly shade higher Trade
ruled active and all sold early. The de-
mand for all good weights was quite strong
from Eastern packers, and buyers were
unable to fill their orders, as they want
hogs weighing above 200 pounds. The clos

the receipts are nearly 1900 smaller than

opened with very active inquiry from all
buyers for export steers, and later sales
were fully 15c higher than the close of last
week. There was an easier tendency in
the market about the middle of the week.
but it steadied up at the close and the last
sales were strong at the early advance in
prices. Female butcher cattle and feeders
did not show much change until the latter
part of the week. when in not a few in
