WHEAT MARKET LOVER
Enormous Argentine Export
Does the Business.
MAY 1-2a5-8 CENT DOWN
Coarse Grains and Provisions
Also Decline.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-The enormous export
business done by Argentina last week
was the dominant factor in wheat today,
May closing 15Q5sc under "Wednesday.
The other markets were depressed by the
wheat weakness. May corn closed AG3sc,
and May oats shade, lower. Provisions
at the close were 21z@1214c down.
The news from Argentine held the CEN
ter of the bulletin board on the board of
trade today. Other bearish news was
merely subsidiary to it. The shipments
from Argentine, 23--,-v. bushels, were ex-
ceeded only twice last year and have not
been exceeded ofUten in the history Of
the commerce of that country. In conse-
Quence, May wheat opened sc under
Wednesday at 671sq6714e. The price touch
ed 67Q671sc, and later 6714c, between which
quotations 1t f1uctuated for two hours
Then the descent began. Under pressure
of foreign selling and bull liquidation
with scarcely any outside demand the
price of May was forced steadily down
to 66Ac. at which the market for that
option closed, lamentably weak and no
19sc under Wednesday. Atlantic port
clearances in wheat and -four were equal
to 10000 bushels. Primary receipts for
two days were 1,074,O0O bushels, against
$4,000 bushels last year. Receipts here
We're 112 cars, none of contract grade.
Corn was inclined toFards firmness, but
finally succumbed to the wheat weak
ness. Trade generally was quiet. Coun-
try offerings were fair, but the shipping
demand was poor. The crowd was ready
to buy with the least encouragement and
did not hoise May up a bit while wheat
was making its early struggle against
further loss. The report that there were
42S,OO0 more corn-eating cattle in the
country now than a year ago caused some
buying from the provisions pit, which was
influential in the bulge Much of this
was let out again later in sympathy with
wheat May closed Aq98c down, at 345s
Q34szc.
The trade in oats was small and influ-
enced most Of the time by corn. In view
Of the weakness about it the market was
remarkably steady. May closed a shade
depressed at 2314c.
Provisions were dull. The market early
was easy with wheat. late firm with the
corn bulge, but again weak with wheat,
A firm hog market had a steadying eff
feet. May pork closed 1O0121ac under
Wednesday, at SO. S712G10.75 May lard

tie in the United States. The total num-
Der of cattle in the United Sattes at this
time is placed at 43,902.414, as compared

HOGS WERE STEADY
Bulk Sold a TriRe Higher
Than Day Before.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.55
Few Cattle in and Practically
No Market.

The market yesterday was steady.
Early reports from other markets were
Ciscouraging, indicating a weaker feeling.
The market here, however, did not sag
but maintained the prices at the same
point as the day before. The buyers in
sist that the market was at least a
shade higher, claiming that their herds
cost them a couple Of cents more than
the day before.
The top price Of the day was A55,
which was paid for number Of loads.
The quality was not the best, and the
bulk of the sales was as high as the day
before. The bulk of the sales yesterday
went at l.5074.55. The demand yester-
dav was good and the market active.
All receipts were cleaned up early.I
The quality Of the hogs yesterday was
generally fair. There were quite num-
Der Of common loads in and a considera-
bic quantity Of mixed loads with good
proportions of rough hogs in them. One
noticeable thing was the absence Of top
ply hogs and the comparatively small
number Of heavy hogs in. The average
weight was much lower than usual.
The receipts yesterday were compare
lively good for a Friday during this sea-
son. The total receipts of the day were
] 325. There were but few wagon hogs
in. The roads were in bad shape and this
doubtless caused many farmers to stay
at home and not attempt to bring their
hogs to market. The car-lot receipts did
not arrive until late, and the market
closed somewhat later than is usually
the case.
The market was on a par with other
markets in the west Here hogs sold
steady and the bulk a shade higher. In
St Louis hogs were barely steady, while
in Chicago and Kansas City hogs were
quoted steady to strong.
