CATTLE-There was a very heavy run Of
cattle here today, receipts being nearly
equal to the big run a week ago, which
broke all previous records for the year.
Heavy receipts were generally expected, but
still the supply was a little in excess OF
the market from start to finish on all
grades.
The. beef steer market was slow and
generally a dime lower than yesterday.
There was considerable uneveness to the
trade. as Is apt to be the case when re-
OF good quality were again the favorites
and in some cases were not over a nickel
lower than yesterday. The heavy cattle, on
the other hand, were neglected and In some
instances had to sell as much as l5c lower.
so the market was all the way from DC TO
16c lower, or generally q dime lower. owing
to the excessive receipts and the slow
opening II was late before the bulk Of the
offerings was disposed Of.
The COW market also suffered a little. put
the decline was hardly as serious as on
steers. Choice handy weight heifers were
not a great deal over, but the fair to good
kinds OF COWS and heifers were generally a
probably best be described by calling IL
bdlOc lower. Buyers as a rule cut loose In
good season, so that trading was fairly
active at the decline.
Bulls were a trihe lower. but still the
decline did not amount to much and veal
calves held just about steady.
The supply Of feeders was not very
large, but there were quite a few stockers.
THE demand from the country has been
light so far this week, and as a result
speculators tried to buy their fresh sup
niles a little lower. The best grades held
about steady, but others could be quoted
5diOc lower. Representative sales:

CHICAGO. May 5.-The wheat market
was weak at the start and early sales were
at "a decline. Firmness developed later,
however, and the close was strong, with
July Ln%c higher. Corn was strong, eN-
cept for lower opening July closing 1ta@sc
higher. oats were up &c, while PROVISIONS
showed a loss OF from iOc to 17lzd20c.
Wheat was fairly active ana showed a
decided change ia sentiment from yester-
days market. Easier foreign markets and
an increase in contract stocks caused an
easy opening, July being off &c TO ha4c
than regainod early in the session on buy
ing which was credited to Armour and

worlds visible for the week showed a de-
crease Of 5.000,0O0 bu.. against a decrease
last week OF 4,7b2,O00 and a decrease OF
$4,000 a year ago. Primary receipts were
334,O72 bu., against 27O.S24 last year. Clear
ances Of wheat and Hour were equal TO

receipts Of 1875 cars. which, with local re-
ceipts of so cars, one of contract grade,
made a total for the three points of lSS
cars, against 12 last week and Isl a year
Increased country offerings and a marked
improvement In grading caused a lower
opening in corn, but there was strength
later in sympathy with wheat, and the
close showed a gain OF h0$sc for July at
447s445c, after ranging between 44&4i41zc
and 45lAc. Offerings were small and trade
not on a large scale. Commission houses
were good buyers and the crowd got short
soon after the opening. Local receipts
were 3S cars, with 3S of contract grade.
oats were strong on buying by local
traders on all breaks due to improved
weather. There was some early selling on
increased receipts and better grade, but
the market soon strengthened in sympathy
with other grains, and closed firm July
being up 3sc at 3lMa32c, after selling be-
tween 31&sc and 32c. The market was some
what quiet. owing to scarcity of offerings.
Local receipts were 21l cars.
Provisions opened steady on n stronger
holding market. but the early gain was
soon lost on liquidation, and the market
was easy throughout the remainder of the
session. Trading was light and without
feature. July pork closed at $3.50. a loss
of lOc. Lard was down 11l2G20c at 50. Ribs
were 10c lower at S9.32h.
