Condition Of Other Markets.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS
March 25.-Cattle-Receipts, 900; shipments light.
The combined receipts of cattle for three days
show a slight improvement over the same time
last week, but decrease Of over 800 compared
with the corresponding time year ago. The
receipts to-day were around 100 larger than a
week ago. but not quite as large as year ago.
Practically all kinds represented. and the
quality generally was considered equal to the
average for the past few days. The market
opened with continued active demand. espe-
cially from local killers. for the better stock,
and all that met the requirements sold promptly
at steady to strong prices. but there was no
quotable advance reported in any case. The
handy light butcher steers and good feeding cat
tie sold at steady prices. In the market for
the heavier grades Of steers there was lack Of
competition, there being apparently few orders
from outside sources. and local killers were not
wanting many OF that class. Therefore sales
men had very little to work and were forced
to await the pleasure of buyers. They were
rather hrm, however, in their demand for steady
prices. and anything that just suited and was
wanted sold about steady, but occasionally forced
sales were considered some lower. although prob
ably not to exceed 10c from yesterday. An out
let could not be found for all of the consign-
ments, and therefore few loads had to be car
ried over. Quotations:

GRAINS TURN STRONGER
FAIR DEMAND AND SOME SHORT
COVERING CAUSE UPTURN.
Prices Respond Quickly, and Closing
Gains Range from 1-Sc to 3-4c-Hog
Products Also Are Higher.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Trading in the
grain pits was on a moderate scale to-day
and after an easier opening all grains
closed higher. May wheat being &c higher,
corn up hqAc and oats 1zd%c better. Pro-
visions closed strong. from 2lkc to 15c
higher.
There was reaction in sentiment in the
wheat pit and during the latter part of the
session the market exhibited considerable
strength. although trading was only mod
crate. The opening was weak, with an APP
parent pressure to sell on the part of out
side holders. influenced by lower cables and
favorable weather. May being a shade to
kQssc lower. at n]d72c. Covering by
shorts on the small local receipts caused a
rally early. after which the market held
fairly steady, until late, when buying by
commission houses lent additional strength
and May sold up to 72sc. The close was
NC higher, at 72zQ727sc. Clearances OF
wheat and flour were $4,000 blu. Primary
receipts were $4,000 blu, against 1000 bu a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth report
cd receipts OF 1ss cars which, with local re-
seipts of seventeen. none of contract grade,
made total OF 206 cars, against $50 last
week and Isl a year ago.
There was no feature to the trading In
corn and the volume OF business was light.
Lower cables and favorable weather caused
weakness at the start and early trading
was dull. The close was strong and 1s9Ac
higher Tor May, at 43lsc, after selling be-
tween 423sc and 434c. Receipts were fifty
eight cars, none of contract grade.
Continued liquidation of May oats by out
side holders was the feature of the early
session and trading was decidedly light. The
ate strength In wheat caused early sellers
to turn buyers. and with some covering by
shorts the sentiment became quite strong
and the close was at the top, May 1aGsc
higher. at 32Lc, after ranging between 31K
93l&c and 321zc- Receipts were Ia cars.
Provisions were dull, with trading con-
hned largely to local interests. Opening
prices were lower on increased receipts of
hogs and a decline in prices at the yards,
but the market received good support from
packers and prices soon rallied. The late
strength In grains added TO the advance
ana Closing prices were strong, with May

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
FAIR AMOUNT OF BUSINESS AT GEN.
ERALLY GOOD PRICES.
Fruits and Vegetables the Weak
ter and Cheese Remain Firm.

Yesterday showed considerable business
activity, but as regards prices was rather
uneventful. Flour ruled steady at quota
tions; coffees unchanged, with conditions
surrounding the market about the same as
for a month past. and sugar is unchanged.
Canned goods are slow movers without
change in quotations. Dried fruits are
active, a good demand for peaches, prunes
and apricots being noted. Navy beans are
moving fairly well at current prices. On
Commission row bargains can be had in
fruits and vegetables if one would place
large orders. Everything seems to be in
liberal quantities and the price tendency is
downward. Asparagus Is a late conner,
selling at 4Oc to 60c a bunch. All fresh
produce is running uneven in quality and
prices fluctuate with the offerings. Chick
ems are firm despite large receipts. The
demand throughout the country Is active
and now that laying is better, farmers are
said to be less anxious to sell their chick
ems Eggs are weak, but the belief prevails
that they will not go much lower. Butter
is firm and there is no change in cheese.
Cerealines of all kinds are weaker, with
the easier tone in grains. Dry goods houses
are having an excellent trade. Prices are
very firm at the revision OF yesterday.
Druggists are quite busy. the demand for
paints, oils and turpentine being active.

Hogs-Receipts, 900; shipments, LOO. The
combined receipts OF hogs for the week thus far
indicate an increase of 1900 over the same time
last week and little less than 1000 the
corresponding time year ago. The receipts
to-day were right around 1000 larger than
week ago. and show little change compared with
a year ago. The market opened with only fair
competition between buyers. but occasional sales
right at the start were made at steady to
shade lower prices. 1t soon developed however.
that shipping orders not liberal. and this,
of course, had a weakening influence. When
packers discovered that they would have little
opposition they became very bearish and in
different and forced sharp decline in prices.
With the exception of a few sales the market
was reported l0c to l5c lower than yesterday. and
on the closing market occasional transactions
looked to be almost zoe lower than equal kinds
sold yesterday. With packers practically the
only buyers in the field at the close. the market
was. of course. weak and several loads remained
in the pens unsold. Sales ranged from s725 to
E.75. and a very large part of the supply sold
above 81 40. Quotations.
