SHEEP-There was not very much to
be said regarding the sheep market this
morning, the trade for the most part being
devoid OF new features of interest Re-
ceipts were moderate while there was the
usual fair demand. While the trade was
liberal orders and the sheep and lambs
kept selling until practically everything
was disposed OF and in reasonable season
at that Choice wooded lambs sold as high
as $3.50 and 1855, the same prices that
were paid for the same stun yesterday.
Good shorn wethers sold as high as 1925.
The whole market on both sheep and
lambs was fully steady with yesterday
There seemed to be plenty OF buyers on
hand looking for something that would
do to shear and feed out and In all
probability II would be very little trouble

CATTL E-Receipts OF cattle this morning
were quite liberal. although not UP to the
record of a week ago. There was nothing,
however. in the local situation or in the re-
ports from other selling points TO cause any
material improvement I'm the market. The
cattle markets at all points for several
days have been slow, with a downward
tendency, owing to the poor consuming de-
mand for meat products in the large east
ern centers.
for a few loads of cattle for immediate
slaughter and in securing these they put
little more life into the trade earlier than
has been the case on a good many morn.
ings OF late Sellers who had the kind OF
cattle that were wanted found II easier
work selling them and to the holders OF
such the market looked little more brisk
than yesterday. but prices were no higher:
The general market, however, outside. OF
the earlier purchases was not very active
and the most OF the forenoon was consumed
in disposing of the receipts.
Cows and hetfers did not show any ma
terial change and the market was without
new or interesting features OF any knu:
The trade was none too active at prices
that were just about steady with yesterday

Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices, on Board of Trade.

frlcee' on board OF Trade.
CHICAGO, April 24-Reports Of damage
TO the crop by dry weather in the SOUTH
west caused an advance today OF over lc
per bushel; The price OF wheat here at the
above yesterdays quotation. July corn and
oats were each up NC. Provisions were a
shade higher TO. nc lower.
Strength in wheat deVeloped toward the
middle OF the session Prior to that time
trading was of a dragging character and
early weakness was due to lower cables
a slack demand for cash wheat and favor
able weather for seeding in the northwest
One of the principal reasons for the
sharp upturn was found In reports from
the winter wheat sections, where 1t Is
claimed the crop Is being damaged by
influential factor was the statement of the
worlds visible supply q breadstuffs as
authority Ethe Worlds stocks have de-
creased 4,5S4.0O0 bushels and of this amount
II was claimed the American stocks de-
ish advces started active buying by shorts.
The greatest demand was for the distant
dsnverles. AS offerings were light prices
active and strong the remainder of the
DAY, closing only a tribe below the highest
ssssc May ranged between 7s5sc ana soc and
closed at a gain OF ihc at 79Jsc. Clearances
OF wheat and -four were equal to 10000
bushels Primary receipts were 81 900
bushels compared with $4,000 bushels the
corresponding week a year ago Minneapo-
OF PAS against p cars last week and 81
cars year ago.
Corn was dull, but steady on predicted
wet weather. July closed nc higher at
4sHc. May sold between 4s%R455sc and l7Ik9
47kc and closed at 471Sc Local receipts
We're 226 cars with 30 cars of contract
grade
Oats were moderately active and firm on
wet weather predictions. July closed &c
higher at 30Ac. May ranged between STAG
s2o and S21Lc and closed at S9Hc Local
receipts were 245 cars.
Provisions were Inclined to weakness the
greater part OF the day because OF iiquida-
ton by local holders. Late in the session
a hrmer tone developed and the market
recovered the greater part Of an early de-
cline. At the close July pork was off 5Gp71kc,
at 115.S25a6p15.5 Lard was up a shade at
ts.e0qS 62tkc. Ribs were 21z06c lower at
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:

AND FEEDERS.

lOGS-The break in hogs is having Tie
usual effect or increasing receipts, the coun-
try evidently fearing further decline and
being under the impression that II Ia better
10 take the present loss than to walt for II
to grow bigger. The receipts this morning
29 cars, were the largest Of any day since
June 20 Of last year. with such 9 large
run in sight buyers had everything their
own way, and their way has been to bear
the market whenever the opportunity pre-
scented itself. II was not, therefore, sur
prising that the market should have opened
Sc lower than yesterday, with buyers bid
ding even worse than that I'm some ca SEES
The fact is the early bids were largely at
=, $4,000. When they got onto business
basis the hogs sold largely at Sef71kd169 80,
as against S6.S2hG6,a5 yesterday. The later
market was only s1kG5c lower than yester-
dcg,
The trade, as might be Nexpected under
such circumstances, was rather slow, as
sellers were not at all anxious to take of
after the loss already suffered
Today's decline carries the market to the
lowest point touched any day since April D..
when the average price paid for all the
hogs was S6.B.

HAS A CACKLE COMING.
Story Of Hen That Showed Courage
Under Fiery Ordeal.

Biddeford, Me-, April 9--The hen
which withstood the flames, smoke and
water during the Trull hospital fire in
Beddeford and calmly sat on her nest
until the excitement of that eventfu
day was over has been rewarded for her
faithfulness by Matching one chick.
In the same fire the surgeons finished
an operation, in which life was at
stake, while the building was burning
over them and firemen were working to
keep the flames back until they finished.
That the surgeons were not without
rivals in heroism was discovered when
the fire was out and the cellar full of
water The fremen, wading in the hos
pital basement, found a box floating the
bounding pillows" and in it Biddy and
the thirteen eggs upon which she had
been placed the week before. She had
remained as steadfastly at her post as
had the life savers on the floor above.
No setting hen ever showed greater de-
termination to perpetuate her race than
this Biddy when the firemen tried to pull
her off her floating nest.
The eggs had been chilled in the al
most ice-cold water which had soaked up
through the straw nest. and there was
slight hopes of any Matching. But hen
that sat through the fire and water, the
hospital folk declared, should not be a
martyr to the practicability of cruel
world. so the box was put up high and
filled with new dry straw and Biddy was
left to do what she could with the wet
eggs.
