Unsettled Wheat Pulls Other Grains Down
on Board Of Trade,
PROVISIONS ARE MOST IRREGULAR
May Pork Bothers Brokers, Though
other Products Try to Keep
steady with Tendency to
Advance In Price.

CHICAGO. May 4-Wheat opened firm
today on strength in the cables and higher
outside markets is oHt noon Win YulS
&C lower Corn averaged lower, I'm sym
pathy, July at the close being OF %q%c.
oats rulec weak, with July down ss44c
while provisions were irregular.
Selling by pit traders caused weakness in
wheat soon after the opening, which was
a shade lower for July at 15b@13hc. but
there was sufficient scattered demand by
shorts and commission houses TO cheek
the decline In measure, ana atter sellng
down to 7212c, July closed sc lower, AT
-52I5Gf725sC. The impression that Armour
was selling through brokers, although an
open buyer OF July, together with numerous
no damage crop reports, brought about the
rush TO sell. Receipts were little larger
and weather reports improved and these
also had their influence. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 324 cars which,
with local receipts OF 50 cars. two of con-
tract grade. made total receipts lor the
three points of S76 cars, against 326 last
week and 3l5 year ago Primary receipts
were 629 g43 bu., against 433.769 a year ago.
Clearances OF wheat and flour were equal
TO 464 $50 bu.
Corn was weak and slow, with local
bears the principal sellers, and commission
houses doing the buying Lack OF dem demand, iS
loss in prices, although increased receipts
and favorable weather were bearish in
huences, and July closed ssdAc lower AT
44SLc. after ranging between 452sc and 41ac.
Local receipts were 222 cars, with Is of con-
tract grade. ~ -
local longs in oats and as a result the
market showed weakness. with prices lower.
The market was rather dull and the de-
mand small July closed ssq%c lower az
3lIbd316sc, after selling of from 32$sc to
BIC Local receipts were $50 cars.
The action OF May pork unsettled pro-
visions and bothered the trade Prices on
other products were about steady and
showed an advancing tendency. Packers
are credited with buying pork for future
delivery and July showed an advance OF
nc at the close at S17.15. Covering by
shorts at the start caused an advance OF
%d75c in May, the opening price being
S1s.5O6I1900 Realizing snles later caused a
decline from the high figure and the close
was 35c higher at $3.50; July lard was
5G7Ikc lower at S917iR, while ribs were off
PIC at 80 42h.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow Wheat,
65 cars; corn. 800 cars; oats, 225 cars; hogs,
1900 head.

The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
l. - 49, AraaI tn.l.


CATTLE-There was quite a liberal run
of cattle here this morning and, as other
points were also well supplied, the tendency
of prices was downward at all points.
Trading, though, was fairly active at the
decline, so the bulk of the offerings was
disposed of in good season.
A larger proportion of the receipts than
usual was made up of beef steers this
morning and the general market could be
quoted about 5q10c lower than the close OF
last week. The greatest decline was on
the heavy cattle while the handy weights
of good flesh and quality In a good many
cases were only "a frife lower. Packers
seemed to want the cattle and simply took
advantage of the liberal receipts to buy
them for less money.
There were not very many cows and heif-
ers included in the offerings, so the market
held about steady. In some cases statesmen
were calling the market a little lower, but
as a general thing anything desirable sold
in last weeks notches. Owing to the mod
crate offerings everything was disposed of
in good season.
Bulls were in good demand and prices
showed no particular change. Veal calves
also commanded steady prices.
Specula tors did not take hold Of stockers
and feeders any too freely and as result
prices were, If anything, little lower than
they were last Friday. The good cattle
seemed to be little lower as we'll as the
common kinds. There were not very many
on sale, though, so statesmen did not meet
with much difficulty in disposing of what
arrived. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There was a light run of sheen
and lambs this morning and the quality
was common. Packers though had to have
some fresh supplies and buyers started out
early bidding considerably higher prices on
even the common kinds such as arrived.
Traders as a general thing were calling the
market 15@25c higher There was no good
stun on sale so that the market on paper
does not show the advance. Everything
offered In the way of fat stun was disposed
of at an early hour.
There was no particular change in the

HOGS-There, was a fair supply Of hogs
In sight this morning for a Monday, but
quite a few of them were consigned direct
to local packers. Early reports from other
points were unfavorable so buyers started
In here to pound the market. They did not
get many hogs though, and finally the
market became just about steady with
Saturday Toward the close II looked as
though packers were not going to get
enough hogs to supply their wants and
some hogs sold a little stronger. The gen.
eral market though was just about steady
with the close of last week. The bulk Of
the hogs sold from $6.721a 10 S6Tt1k and as
high as $3.50 was paid. Everything was
disposed of before the middle of the fore
