closed w lowsr; corn and oats saeh
I shade down and provisions 507h
to zoe depressed.
Strength and huIlish activity TO-
gether with the punishment Of shorts
in wheat came ct the opening as a re-
suit Of an advance at Liverpool and the
lightness of northwest receipts due
partly to ~unfavorable weather. May
opened A0Ac higher at 75Ac. Out
side interests sold literally to secure
profits. The demand was heavy, how
ever, and during most Of the forenoon
the market fuctuated between 1875
and 75A@76c. A good cash demand
and liberal c~learances at the seaboard
were supporting influences following
the opening. During the afternoon
the corn break brought additional sell
ing pressure on the market and May
was forced down to 75Ac. The close
was heavy hc lower at 75%@h. Lo-
cal cash sales were reported at 168, 900
bushels. Seaboard c~learances in wheat
and -four aggregated $1,000 bushels,
while primary receipts were 506, 600
bushels, compared with 716, 900 bush
els last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 275
cars against AL last week and 562 a
year ago. Local receipts were SO cars,
none of contract grade.
Corn opened strong and remained SO
for an hour and a half. May opened
Ac higher at Also to 411sc and under
a heavy general demand ran up to
Also. This advance coming on top of
yesterdays gain proved tempting to
longs. The weather, while unpropit-
ious for the movement, was shown in
a bearish light by the improved grading
Of receipts. Shippers reported that the
bulge had shut off inquiry. May, in
consequence, declined to 411sc and
closed easy a shade lower at 41Ac. Re-
ceipts were 1853 cars, IS of contract
grade.
Although the profit taking movement
in the provisions pit was generally of
an aggressive order, the market was
not forced much below it's recently at
tanned high mark. Lard and ribs were
sold on a liberal scale by packers and
some speculative longs, but the trade
in pork was comparatively light. Hog
receipts and the market at the stock
yards remained favorable to the bulls.
May pork advanced to $15.67h early,
but declined to $3.50, and closed zoe
lower at $15.32k; May lard sold be-
tween $7.27h and $7.65, closing 5@7kc
down at $7.65@7.671s, and May ribs be-
tween $3.50 and 7.4O, with the close III
@1Oc depressed at $40.
The oats market was a narrow one.
1t showed a small advance early with
corn and later reacted with that mar
ket, but the undertone was firm on a
good cash demand. Receipts were 1873
crs. May sold between 25Ac and PTS
@25c, and closed a shade lower at 25c.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, so cars; corn, 245 cars; oats,
200 cars; hogs, 2 1000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Much favorable comment has been
excited by the quarterly report of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The actual figures for the quarter ended
December 81, 1900, appear in the state
ment and show that the estimate of
earnings and surplus published in Sep
tember last were less than the actual
results proved 10 be. The actual reve-
nues for the December quarter were
$1,712,S31, against an estimate of ST.
100000, and against s1,579,4S7 in the
quarter ended December 81, 1899. The
surplus after interest and dividends for
the December, 1900, quarter was $685.
791, against estimates of s243, $50. and
against $13S,971 in 1899, a gain for 1900
of $11S,420. The following table COM
