Advance OF 5 to 10 Cents at the
Close Today, With Wide
Spread in Prices
CATTLE QUOTATIONS GAIN

Permit Packers to Dominate, But

Chicago. Aug. 14.-Cattle-Receip
of 1.SO0 were only sufficient for the de-
mand and the market closed steady
with Yesterdays prices.
Beef coolers in local quarters still
hold a big supply and the situation In
eastern trade is likewise congested,
fering a slump and there is small OUT
let thru this source. Exporters claim
prices here are too high to afford prof
liable operations. and this has been the
main reason for the falling off in de-
mand from this source. The principal
i,ilment of trade is lack of generally
good demand from packers and eastern
shippers but their reluctance to trade
freely is clearly WARRANTED by the poor
markets for beef
Hogs.
The market closed TO 10c higher
with a still wider spread in prices,
mixed selling from S6.lo TO s6.57l2s
Shipping demand has picked up
little this week the principal call be-
ing for light stuff The general range
OF prices is widest of the season. There
is now spread of over $1.00 between
poor heavy and best light.
Sheep.
Supplies of about $4,000 for the first
three days have been larger than was
expected. permitting packers to domin-
ate the market to some extent but
prices closed firm with those Of yes
terday.
Local buyers have had things more
their own way lately, but feeder and
breeder buyers have been unable to
secure anywhere near the number they
wanted. tho prices for such have been
pushed up to the highest level ever
noted for this season of the year.

Not the Real Offender.

Two men were hanging TO one par

car
One of the men could just reach it

DECREASE IN LUMBER CUT
Mills Report on Probable Production
Compared to Last Year.

Minneapolis. Mimi. Aug IA. A
decrease of 240000.000 feet i'm this
years production of northern pine lum-
Der, compared with 1906, is foreshad-
owed by the report OF the secretary of
the Northern Pine Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, made today at the semian-
nual meeting. The meeting was routine
In character and was not We'll attended
all the manufacturers present finding
accommodations in one of the parlors
of the West hotel.
Secretary j. E. Rhodes had secured
estimates from large majority of the
manufacturers. comparing their prob
able cut this year with that of last sea-
son. There We're twenty-siX reporting
a probable decrease. amounting in all
to 29S 100000 feet. Nineteen mills re-
ported practically the same cut IN
sight. while eight promised an increase
aggregating 59,50O.000 feet Nearly all
the Minneapolis mills and those farther
down the river will show decrease,
Some more significant figures We're
given, bearing on the high cost of lum-
Der. The mills We're asked to report
their total stock of lumber on hand
August !. compared with a year ago.
Those reporting gave in a total stock
of S22.317,57S feet while last year the
same mills had 966,019.774 feet Of lum-
Der on hand. The shortage in stock is
143, 1913 feet. with shortage in pro-
duction to make the situation still
worse
1t will be two weeks at least before
all the Minneapolis mills are able to
resume saving. The river is lower than
ever and logs are coming very SLOWLY.
The Northland Pine Company's mill
has run without interruption. but the
others have all been down. Some logs
are coming in from wing dams that are
being cleared out. and the Carpenter
Lamb mill has started up again for a
few days. The Bovey-De Laittre mill
is running Il part of its machinery.
The s;twmill men dislike losing this
part of the saving season, as they de-
pend ON July and August for drying
their lumber for the fall trade.

Suckers and Feeders.

Country buying was fairly good, but
not extensive enough to make very
strenuous market A few western
feeders were secured, but there is still
a great dearth of good weighty feed
ers which the demand calls strongest
for. Farmers in nearby territory want
900 to 1OOO-lb cattle of good quality,
but it is impossible to get that kind.
Lately there has been a fair supply
of the light 500 to 7o0-lb stuff Of in
different breeding, but this kind is not
selling very high. Most of the fair to
good feeders sold at 4.25M4.75, with
the light cattle mainly at $4,000, and
the inferior at $2.75@3.25.

Wheat Makes Further Recovery
From Slump Of EARLY in

CORN CLOSE is HIGHER
Markets Fluctuates Little and Close Is
Near Top Figures Of the Day-DuII
Market in Provisions-Wire Strike
Still Affects Trading on the Board
Of Trade.

Chicago, Aug. 14.---The wire strike
still has noticeable effect on trading
on the board. Wheat made further
advances today, however, and loss thru
the slump early in the week has al
most been recovered. The opening was
at yesterdays closing prices, and all
options closed higher.
The market was quite strong early
on good commission house buying.
while the crowd were bullish on high
err markets abroad, liberal export sales
and talk of damage to spring wheat.
The latter was confirmed in d meas
ure thru free buying by the northwest,
so many reports of damage by black
rust and heat coming that it is thought
will seriously injure the crop. Consld-
cradle bullish sentiment developed on
the report of very extensive manu-
foring failure in the east that exerted
depressing effect on securities and
brought about realizing.
Corn.
Corn was strong with wheat, and
while trade was a little slow in taking
hold. substantial advances were made
before the close and We're maintained
for the most part.
There was first class buying of the
futures at the start owing to bad re-
ports from various sections of Iowa,
and Kansas. Illinois and Nebraska
state crop reports We're bullish and
many who sold yesterday were buying
today, many long lines being replaced.
Advances were not maintained on ac-
count of rains being reported in the
southwest, with prospects for more,
but with receipts not large and fair
ly good shipping demand. Prices
should rot improve considering that
crop prospects are not what they
should be.
The oats market, which has been
demoralized since the strike, showed
some Improvement and prices closed at
the best figures of the day.
This market became strong on the
best kind of buying. There was more
or less realizing, but the undertone
was strong at the close. thereby sug-
costing higher prices
Provisions.
There was little doing in the provis-
ION lines. and the market was only abe
to hold at yesterdays prices.
