unresponsive cables were factors unfa-
Vorable to wheat prices today, and May
closed Sole lower. Corn closed 1sc low
er. and oats at like decline. Provisions
at the close were q shade to &C de-
pressed.
There was a larger trade in wheat
than for days past, but 1t was of myS-
FERROUS sort and confined largely TO two
firms. Otherwise the market was dull
one. Armour brokers bought 1,500,000 bu,
and a commission firm sold about that
much. Some thought the buying was in
the way Of evening up Armour trades in
order to settle the estate of the late P.
d. Armour. 1t was also reported that
the operators had to do with Judge
Tuley's adve: Sc warehouse decision an
nounced yesterday, although in what way
was not made plain. Outside interests
were not in the market to any extent,
and any demand Invariably met with
liberal response from longs. Lower ca
bles, heavy receipts, increased ArgVn-
tine shipments and favorable news from
that country were depressing factors.
May having opened a shade to l4W3sc

noon between 77SIN77zsc and TIC, later
dropped TO n51sc and closed steady, 4sQ12c

Thomas, of South Sd Paul, for the le-'
coVery of three head of cattle bearing the
firm brand, has been dismissed as the
cattle have been turned over TO them
These cattle were shipped into the yards
as part of a consignment from Moqius
Bros, bankers of Lidgerwood N D.
After unloading 1t was found that Trey
bore the Simmer g. Thomas brand, and
investigation proved tI4at they were a
part of bunch of cattle bought early
IN the season and sold undsr mortgage
Movius Bros. We're apparently the irno-
cent purchasers of mortga ged property
This case Is but one of many that go
to show the effectiveness of recorded
brands and the safety of the system in
vogue to prove the ownership of branded
cattle. All brokerage firms exercise a
very close supervision Of their cattle, and
so close and thorough is the inspection
at all marketing points that il is al
most irrposs ibie for mortgaged cattle
to find their way into the hands of psr1
manent purchasers without detection.
