Days Business.

CHICAGO, April 29.-Dullness character
lied trading on the board today and after
an unsettled feeling early whichI ov 9eca ana
July a SHADE higher. Both July corn and
oats closed &c higher, while provisions
were from 1Oc TO 22kc higher.
Wheat was quiet throughout the entire
session and In general the market inclined
TO weakness. The opening was steady 10
firm on higher cables and untaVOrable
weather, with May unchanged to &c higher
Rt~764MT7c and July 1sc higher at hpsc:
operated TO send prices up TO INC ior Nay

Armour was selling on the auyance, how
ever, caused Tree liquidation, May setllg
OF to 761hc, with July down to n9sc. lhere
was a scattering demand at these hsures
trihe and held steady until the close, which
showed a loss of bqAc for May at t6Ap
7G1sc, July being. up a shade at HAahAc;
Clearances OF wheat and flour were equal
to 26l. 600 bushels. Primary receipts were
1880 bushels, against 22O.4O0 a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth. reported ll cars,
which with local receipts of 81 cars, 4 of
contract grade. made total receipts for the
three points of 152 cars, against l19 last
week and $40 last year.
There was suficient demand to hold corn
steady. The local sentiment was bearish
on reports of freer offerings from Illinois
and indications OF Increased movement in
the near future, and while the movement
was easy at times there was always SUM-
cient buying to cause reactions. There was
moderate buying of July by local traders,
but the volume Of business was not large.
May closed hc higher at 44hc. after ran
ging betwcen 43abc and 44hc. July closed at
445hd45c. Local receipts were SO cars, with
1 car of contract grade.
The demand for July and September oats
exceeded the offerings, which tact, together
with bullish crop reports, tended to impart
strength TO the market. May closed 1sS
lower at 33itc, after ranging between 311zc
and 3l7sc, and July closed at S1&c. Local
receipts were ia cars.
There was considerable strength I'm pro-
visions Notwithstanding the heavy rece. pts
OF hogs and lower prices at the wards.
Trading was fairly active, with good de-
mand from brokers and commission houses
at which the selling was scattered, some Of
the small packers taking part in It. July
lard was 10c higher at $40, ribs, July,
$9.47k.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat, 20
cars; corn, ITO cars; oats, 10 cars; hogs, 20
600 head.

Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-30

SHEEP-There. was a light run Of sheep
and lambs here this morning and as several
trains We're late in arriving the morning
was well advanced before much business
was transacted. The same as has been the
case for some time past the quality OF the
bulk OF the offerings was very inferior, so
that while the better grades held about
steady the common Kinds were slow sale
and weak. Sellers have had a hard time
70 md an outlet for the part-fat kinds of
late. as neither packers nor feeder BUYERS
seem to be at all anxious for them. A good
share of the receipts this morning was lit
tie better than feeders and. as there were
few country buyers on the market, 1t was
late before a clearance was made.
