Odessa's annual street fair opened
Wednesday with the usual large
crowd 10 attendance. Judging from
the many entries for the various

shown this year. In the ladies'

etc, there are 1000 entries from $50
persons; in poultry, 2S entries from
IA persons; in horticulture 81 entries
from % persons, and in agriculture
II entries from so persons. For the
twelve ring events Wednesday there
were rs entries. The products o.
Lafayette county are well represented
by these various exhibits. THURSDAY
and Friday also brought large crowds
to the fair. This year bids fair to bt
a record breaker in both attendance
and exhibits.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
HEAVY BILLS ARE ORDERED IN
MANY LEADING LINES.
Good Weather Gives an Impetus to
Business-lncreased Export De-
mand for Hog Products.

The fine weather and solid country roads
has greatly improved trade. and unless the
weather should become bad the wholesale
houses are anticipating a marked revival
in business. The tendency to higher prices
in staple groceries, iron and steel products
and dry goods tends to increase the DISPOSE
ton to stock up ahead. and many mer-
chants are in a condition to discount their
bills that they do not hesitate to make pur-
chases i'm advance of actual needs. Espe-
cially is this true with the dry goods
houses, boot and shoe merchants and leath-
er dealers. Confectioners speak of trade as
remarkably good for February. Retail mer-
chants were not SO overloaded with Christ
mas goods as was the case In 1901 The pro-
vision market is strong on the most desir-
able hog products. The continued high
range in prices in fresh meats is the princi-
pal cause of the large demand for side
meat, hams and other provisions. There
never has been a season when domestic
trade has been as large for the past few
months, and Ii Is reported that export trade
is again improving. On Commission row
prices of fruits and vegetables are easing,
but no important reductions were made
yesterday. OF the hide market there is little
as yet TO say that Is good. This market has
been dull and uninteresting for some weeks,
and prices have carried an easy tone. Iron
and steel markets are Frightening up con-
siderably and travelling statesmen report in
dcations good for an active spring trade.

in quotations has been made. All grades OF

PRIVATE WIRE ADvICEs.
Broader and More Active Market,
with Growing Public Interest.
Never e, Kiser's TeIepram1


NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The opening was
generally firm. The market was encour-
aged by a more confident tone shown in
London for Americans. and there were
strong evidences of a revival of interest by
the leading operators. The market as a
whole broadened, all issues, railroads as
well as industrials, partaking of the larger
public interest which is developing. The
market continued to rule strong up to noon,
although 1t was not as generally active as
it promised to be at the opening. The ad-
vance in Brooklyn Rapid Transit was on
buying by the new interests in the COM
pany. The important news of the day was
the United States Steel decision, which was
rendered in its favor to-day at Trenton, N.
j., permitting the company to carry out
its bond conversion plan. Following this
announcement the transactions in the steel
issues were enormous, both issues adj
vancing over a point. The earnings re-
ported for Illinois Central. New York Cen
trail, Southern Railway and other leading
railways for the month of January were
all satisfactory exhibits. and go to prove
beyond question the continued prosperity
of the country at large.

Dull TRADE IN CEREALS
WHEAT AND CORN CLOSE STEADY AT
SMALL DECLINES.
Fractional Loss in Oats and Small
Breaks in Hog Products Are
shown i'm Final Prices.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-There was only a
moderate business on the Board OF Trade
to-day and wheat ruled nervous. with
weaker. tendency, May closing ssc lower.
Corn was a shade lower and oats off &c.
Provisions closed easier and nc to 10c
lower.
Trading in wheat was rather light and
local longs were disposed to sell, offerings
being liberal throughout the day. Lower
cables, both Liverpool and Paris. showing
marked decline, were the chief factor in
causing the depression. The opening was
weak, with May off ssq1sc, at 7sQ7slsc. and
a further decline to 1850 was soon made A
fair export demand caused a rally later to
1880, but local realizing brought about an
other decline and the close was weak, with
May at the low point at 7SAc, loss of &C.
Argentine shipments for the week were
weakening influence, being estimated at l.
GOO, 900 bu, against 5SS,00o bu the same week
last year. ClearanceS of wheat and flour
were equal to 255,000 blu. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 344 cars. which,
with local receipts of twenty-six cars, two
of contract grade, made a total of $40 cars,
against All last week and 2lS year ago.
Corn ruled steady In spite of the weak
ness in wheat, but trading was extremely
light and the market lacked any special
features. The freight blockade was still
prominent factor in the situation and was
one of the causes for an easier opening, al
though lower cables also contributed TO the
early depression. There was little change
in prices during the day and the close was
steady, with May a shade lower. at A444
447sc, after selling between 44ssc and 46c.
Receipts were 2l3 cars, one of contract
grade.
Trading in oats was dull and uninterest-
ing the greater part of the day, business
being largely of a local character. A prom
inent long was fair purchaser late In the
day. which caused an advance, and May
closed &c lower, at $3.50. after ranging be-
tween 36Ac and $3.50. Receipts We're l26

strictly top export steers. The market opened
with very fair request for the good female
butcher cattle. and all. that answered that de-
scription sold promptly enough at steady to
strong prices compared with yesterday. There
was also small outlet for butcher steers at
nearly steady prices. but the demand was very
limited. For the bulk OF the steers offered it
seemed impossible for buyers and sellers to get
together in their views. In many cases there
was probably not to exceed 10c difference but
neither seemed willing to change their estimate
and. therefore, IT was very difficult to consum-
mate sales. For the class of steers weighing
above Loo lbs there was a more limited de-
mand. and buyers were apparently more par
tcular as to quality and flesh than they have
been at any time recently In many cases bids

were making very little effort to buy the supply
because IL has been predicted for some time
