CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, April 25.-Reports of dam
age 10 the crop by dry weather IN
the southwest caused an advance to-
day by over l cent per bushel in the
price of wheat here. At the close of
the July option was precisely Icent
above yesterdays quotations. July
corn and oats were each up an eighth.
Strength in wheat developed toward
the middle of the session. Prior to
that time trading was OF dragging
nature and the tone OF the market
was easy. The early weakness of the
the market was due to lower cables,
a slack demand for cash and favorable
weather for seeding in the north
west. One of the principal reasons
for the sharp upturn was found in
reports from the winter wheat sec
tons, where it is claimed the crop
is being damaged by high winds and
dry weather The greatest demand
was for the distant deliveries. AS
offerings were rather light, prices adj
vanced rapidly. The market contin-
ned active and strong the remainder
of the day July closed higher at

Corn was dull but steady on predict

LIVE STOCK

South Omaha, April 25.-Cattle-
Receipts of cattle were quite liberal,
although not up to the record of a
week ago. The cattle markets at all
points for several days have been
slow with a downward tendency ow
ing to the poor consuming demand for
meat products in the large centers
ocal packers had orders for few
loads of cattle for immediate slaugh-
ter and in securing these they put
a little more life into the trade earlier
than has been the case on good
many mornings of late. The general
market, however, outside of the earl
Ter purchases was not very active.
Cows and heifers did not show any
material change and the market was
without new or interesting features
of any kind. The trade was none too
active at prices that were just about
steady with yesterday.
Hogs-The break in hogs is having
the usual effect of increasing receipts
the country evidently fearing further
decline and being under the impress
sion that it is better to take the pres
ent loss than to wait for it to grow
bigger. 1t was not therefore surpris-
| ing that the market should have
opened cents lower than yesterday,
with buyers biding even worse that
in some cases.
Ranges of prices $6271a @6.30.
| The following with show the prices
paid for the different kinds of cattle
on the South Omaha market:
Good to fair corn fed steers $4.S5@
$40.
Fair to choice corn fed steers $4.65
| @4S5.
Common to fair corn fed steers $4.00
