CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Last weeks official statement Of the New

from the borrowers point Of view, in that

one-half that of the previous week. This
result was, however, probably chiefly due
to the inclusion in the return Of the Four

clearing house as a member at the begin
ming of the week. This institutions loans
added about seven millions and it's deposits
little more than this sum to these items
in the statement, while the cash held by this
bank was about one and three-quarter mil
lions. With the increase Of SIC, 902, 100 in
loans and consequently in deposits thus par
TALLY accounted for, however, it appears
that there was large expansion in these
items by the other banks; this was most
likely due, though, to operations incident to
syndicate disbursements and to the May
settlements. The cash item showed de-
crease of 81 91S,OOO, an amount somewhat In
excess of that which was estimated on the
basis of the traceable movements of money

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW
UNREASONABLE WEATHER RE-
TARDs SPRING DEVELOPMENT,

NEW YORK, May 4.-Dispatches to
Dun's Review indicate that unreasonable
weather still retards the development OF
spring trade and also holds back the crops.
Retailers and jobbers at Boston report
more activity in summer merchandise, but
business is still backward on account of
adverse weather. Textile and steel mills
are busy, but the raw wool market is gu ct.
Manufacturing plants at Philadelphia have
continued active, especially in textiles,
and building permits are large, but the car
shortage still delays movement of lumber
and there is some interruption from labor
troubles. Cold weather retards retail
trade and collections. Unreasonable
weather retards retail trade at Pittsburg
and collections are slow. Manufacturing
plants are well occupied and labor condi-
items are not seriously disturbed.
Retail trade at Baltimore Is backward
because of the weather, but some improve
ment is noted and collections are also
more prompt Jobbing business in dry
goods and other summer fabrics is normal,
but lumber Is less active and furniture
factories report business quiet. Clothing
manufacturers at Louisville have smaller
fall orders than usual and the weather has
checked collections. Manufacturers of
agricultural Implements have large orders
and there is a good demand for hardware.
General business is fairly active at New
Crleans and there Is no complaint as to
COllectlOnS. OTutIS oCiNCIy dto
breaking all records at st. Louis, and all
manufacturing lines are fully occupied,
while collections are fair. Business at
Kansas City has been retarded by unsea-
sonable weather, yet the total for April
exceeds last years, and the wheat outlook
is improved by ample moisture.
Chicago Conditions Satisfactory. +.
Trade conditions at Chicago are still sat
isfactory, although low temperature has
hindered retail sales. Transportation Is
very heavy and manufacturing plants are
well occupied. The only drawback Is the
scarcity Of skilled labor. Mercantile COL
lections continue satisfactory. Unfavor-
able weather has restricted retail trade
at Cincinnati, but machine shops run full
time and whisky is active. Some Inn
land, and there Ii q good jobbing trade in
dry goods and millinery. Jobbers report
no abatement In trade at MINI eapolis and
freight deliveries are prompt. Sawmills
run full time and collections show little
improvement.
Unreasonable weather retards spring re-

but has little effect on wholesale and job

conf companies. are trying to Gust the chief
promoter from the company. One of these
large stockholders is Col. c. c. Wilson, from
Texas and Colorado. who has known Abra-
ham White, the promoter, ever since he
was a boy in Texas. Col. Wilson advanced
a great deal Of money to erect wireless sta
tons in Texas and also assisted the Amer
lean DeForest Company in floating its $780,
600 bond issue. Many Of these bonds were
sold in the west on the recommendation of
Col, Wilson, and he feels that he owes
duty not only to himself but to his friends
to put the United Wireless, which is an
other name for the DeForest, on business
basis. Col. Wilson has bought all of the
promotion stock left in the hands of Lee
DeForest, the young inventor. and DeFor-
est is absolutely out of the companies that
bear his name. Col. Wilson's holdings in
very large, and In his western way he has
taken hold of things at the company's Of
fees in New York, with the hope of trying
to unrayel the many knots in the DeFOrest
affairs. Col. Wilson has made himself
chairman of the executive committee of the
United Wireless, and has engaged an ac-
countant to go over the books and papers
that record the history of the wireless pro-
motions of Abraham White. The feeling
among some of the large .ockholders is
that so long as White runs the affairs there
will never be a chance for the stockholders.

Kansas City Market Report.


Kansas City Stock Yards, June
10, 1907.
The feature of the cattle mark
ct this week is the heavy supply
of Quarantine grass steers, near
ly 1900 head of cattle having
been received in the Southern
division yesterday. and to day out
of a total supply of 10000 head
for the two days, including 10000
head today. Calf receipts are
heavy, 1000 here today, although
large calf supplies are natural
at this season, and balance of
the summer and fall. Supplies of
fed cattle are diminishing and
prices are higher again this week
on best cattle, particular heavy
steers. Top is 1918, and all desir
able steers sell at $3.50 and up
wards, medium to common steers
SAB to $50, The heavy run of
Southern grass cattle is selling
Is to 25 cent lower than similar
cattle brought last week, but
this has no influence on the ma
tive cattle market except to re-
duce the demand for light fed
steers, that class selling barley
steady this week. Supplies of
cows and heifers are smaller
this week, in response to urgent
adviceS of commission men to
shippers to hold them back. Elk
cept where owners are forced to
send in she stuff, the only parties
shipping same to market now
are irresponsible SPECTATORS,
who see temporary profit, but
who care nothing which way the
present conflict between produc-
ers and packers terminates. So
far there are no signs of cOmpro-
mise, but it is certain that the
packer are losers financially up
to date. Cows sell at $500 to
$4.6 IS, heifers $500 to 1925, bulls
So. 40 to $500, calves % to so
cents lower than last week, So. so
to $3.50, stock steers So to
$4.75, feeders $4.25 to $500.
The hog market has received
rapidly from the bad break late
last week, as the run fell down
when prices dropped, supply to-
day IA, 900 head. The market has
ADVANCED Is OF 20 cents yester-
day and today, top today $6.15,
bulk of sales $6.O5 to $6.12 1-2.
Packers are in sore need of hogs,
and it only requires the same
astuteness shown this week for
shippers to hold the situation
in hand and maintain prices.
Present range of prices is about
the same as at this time last year,
volume of receipts 20 per cent
heavier now than a year ago at
this time.
Further losses in the sheep
market have followed the decline
of last week, and prices are now
so to $1.OO lower than at the
high time two weeks ago, great
est loss on lambs. Overstoocked
markets in the East, and a switch-
ing of the publice taste to cheap
er meats is the reason for the
break. Spring lambs sell up to
$500, yearlings 800, ewes 1913
wethers $6.25 goats 81. 25, Texas
muttons 1915. Areturn tohigher
prices may come latter, but just
now buyers lack spirit, and ap-
pear to be operating under rest
raint.
