firm most of the day. weakened, the close
on May being &c lower. May corn closed
unchanged, while oats, with a stronger de-

but on liquidation by a prominent long,
weakness developed late in the day and the
close was a tribe under yesterdays final
hgures. TIL strength of the foreign mar
kets was a feature, the cause OF the better
tone being attributed to the closing of nav
igation on the Danube, which shut of
the shipments from Roumania. Buying for
northwest account was somewhat of a fea-
ture and a good export demand was also
a strengthening influence. The volume of
business was small. May opened 1sqAc

the end of the session another break oc-

CATTLE-There were not enough cattle
in the yards to make a market, but for the
week receipts show an increase over last
week of nearly 5000 head, and as compared
with the same week of last year there is a
gain of over 5000 head.
More cornfed steers arrived this week
than at any time for several months, and
in fact packers had to depend almost en-
as there were very few western grassers
that were good enough for killers. The
market took a drop on Monday and Tues
day owing to the big slump I'm Chicago, but
since that time the tendency OF prices has
been upward and the loss has all been re-
gained and about a dime besides. The top
price of the week was $3.50, but a finished
load Of cattle of good quality ought to bring
$3.50 or better.
The cow market has been in good shape

nothing was carried from one day to the

Bulls, veal calves and stays are also fully

better grades in good demand.
The receipts of stockers n feeders were
light all the week, so that although the
demand from the country was rather linn
tied, prices advanced all the way from
lOc to 25c. The greatest advance was on
the better grades, as the demand was con-
fined mostly to that class OF cattle. Com
