showed marked strength. The early hog
market was good, but this influence was
soon withdrawn. as the tone at the yards
eased. There was very little disposition
to sell, a large cash business at Western
points was reported and packers bought lib
orally of lard and ribs. AS of late, pork was
the most active product. and showed the
best tone. May pork opened l0c to 121sc

BIG TRADERS WERE IN THE
PIT.
Germ Makes Greatest Gain, After
Early Bull Movement in
Wheat.

There was a little more life TO the grain
market yesterday, but trading was not ex-
tremely heavy and operations were mostly
by professional traders, who kept the PIT
crowd guessing as 10 their motives in abb
sorbing the rather free offerings of wheat
and corn. Before the session closed many
reached the conclusion that the purchases
were being made by shorts who were forced

10 the belief that the Harris-Gates syndi-
cat" had carried the war into st. Louis.
statistical news was generally bulllsh, but
weather conditions favored the selling side.
Higher temperature and rains were reported
from several sections of the winter wheat
belt. Foreign markets We're all strong, and

Though the March crop report on corn
was favorable to the buying side. light re-
ceipts and sympathy with corn carried the
market for the coarse grain up. Buying
was good. but transfers mainly of small
lots. Big local interests were known to be
in the field on the bull side, and little or no
effort was made to check the advance.
May corn opened &c up and sold at:

but occasionally meteoric mass lasts
long enough to reach the earth. One
fell on May ID. 1900, at Felix. Ala.
Meteors We're seen on the occasion re.
TERED to and sundry explosions We're
heard. while later on mass of
meteorlc substance weighing seven
pounds was discovered embedded in
soft soil. This meteorlte was analyzed
and found to be built up of such min
erals as oliylne. augite, triollte. nickel
iron and graphite carbon.
The dark color of the Felix stone Is
stated to be due to the presence in fair
amount of the last named substance.
The interest attaching to meteorites. of
course, centres around the fact that
they enable us to obtain gllmpses Of
he composition of other worlds than
ours. Astronomy is well agreed on the
unity of chemical composition which
marks the orbs, and even the simple
fact that it Is hydrogen gas which
blaZes in the sun and gives US our light
ana heat is testimony to this fact
Meteoric carbon and iron similarly dis
play links between these erratic bodies
and our own earth.
