Review of the Week.

At the beginning Of this week the receipts of
cattle were small and usually under such cir
cumstances at least a steady market would have
been expected, but the receipts at other centers
were liberal and prices lower which
naturally affected the trade here. The marketing
OF stock elsewhere also caused dealers here to
expect the receipts would be larger later in the
week and they were not disappointed. Together
with increased supplies the weather conditions
became more unfavorable and the DEVELOPMENTS
in favor OF the buyer rapid. When the
supplies became large enough to accommodate
all ;hey naturally became more independent ans
even at the decline in prices required more time
than usual in making selections.
The decline from day TO day variously esti-
mated from 5dl5c. but at the extreme close Of
the week IL generally admitted that prac-
ticalIy all OF the goOc cattle had suffered loss
OF al least 25c, while others in many cases were
az much as 30si40c lower than equal kinds sold
al the close OF last week. Cows no doubt in
many cases did not show over l0al5c loss for the
week but al different times In the week the,y
v,sre reported around 25c lower The outles Tor
common TO medium heifers continued very slow
but the good class sold a little more freely
the latter part OF the week than they had for
SEA eral days preceding. The bull marker wa.
also lower but IL difficult TO make an ac-
cuTate comparison on account OF the absence OF

WHEAT ADVANCES AGAIN
COVERING BY SHORT HOLDERS
CAUSED THE HIGHER PRICES.
Armour Reported Good Buyer All
Day-COrn Closed Strong-Lfquida-
ton Puts Provisions Lower.

CHICAGO. Jan 2a--Anrfety by short sellers
to cover their trades before the Sunday holiday
was the cause OF advance OF 1isc to-day in
the price OF May wheat.
The upturn was aided by an active demand
the bull crowd. The close was strong with
May 7sgic higher. May corn gained 7salzc. and
oats &c. Provisions closed at yesterdays final
figures.
Wheat holdings appeared 10 be more strongly
concentrated in a few hands to-day than before
the heavy liquidation OF the last forty-eight
hours. In addition. foreign markets did not
respond to the break here yesterday. As
sequence opening quotations May were sc
higher at 90lkgs07sc.
An effort on the part Of shorts to cover re-
suited IN early advance to 91Ad31Nc. Con-
siderable long wheat came on the bulge
and the price went back to Ole. During the re-
maipder OF the session there were frequent rallies
and declines. Armour adding materially to his
line on each reaction.
The close was strong with prices well up to
the high point. final figures on May being at sl3s
d9ll5c The July delivery advanced in sympathy
with May and closed 1G11sc higher at S2@saS2tzc.

against $4,000 bus a year ago. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of S73
cars. against 4Sl cars last week and 443 year
CORN CLOSED STRONG.
The corn market was influenced more or less
by the strength in wheat The early tone was
about steady with considerable liquidation by
local holders. Toward the middle OF the ses-
sion the market became strong on an active de-
mand from commission houses. The attending
rise in values well maintained. Steady
catles and a good shipping demand were minor
bull factors. while more favorable weather had
an opposite effect.
The close was strong. with May at 49%c after
opening a shade to IsdAc higher, at 49l4 d4y5sc,

There has been about the usual fuctuation in
prices OF hogs this week, and the changes from
day TO day have not been surprising in either
direction. The week opened with the tendency
lower, in sympathy with other markets, but i'm
mediately values rallied and on Tuesday were
a little stronger than at the close of last week
On Wednesday there was another reaction in
prices of sc to lOc. but on Thursday all of this
loss reganed, and. in fact, the average for
this day was a tribe stronger than on Tuesday
At the extreme close of the week the supplies
were small, and with strong demand the mar
ket responded with another upturn IN values.
At the extreme close prices were the highest OF
the week, and in extreme zoe higher than
the close of last week. but for an average prob
ably 15c higher. In their present posi-
ton prices the highest they have been since
Nov. g. and the top price to-day is 25c higher
than the beginning OF this month and Sc higher
than the low price at the close of last November.
The quality of current offerings has been gem
orally very satisfactory, and the average weight
probably trife heavier than last week. Pack
ers. usual. were rather reluctant in following
the advance in prices. and bought 1000 less hogs
than last week, but the market featured by
a very strong shipping demand, and the total
shipments of the week exceeded last week 1000
head.
