What has been said about beef steers
apply in a large degree to the mar
ket on cows and heifers, as the trade on
that kind of cattle was both active and
stronger. The supply was soon exhausted
and the market came to a standstill for
the want of something to sell.
There was no great change in the market

strength, corn and oats each advancing to

The wheat market was strong all day
and the volume of trade was large. Con-
siderable excitement prevailed at the start
owing to the anxiety of many of yester-
days short sellers TO cover, and best prices
we're recorded early in the session. There
was liberal profit taking at times, which
resulted in material setbaoks, but each re-
action prompted more vigorous buying and
a consequent quick rally. The drouth sit
Aation IN kansas was the chief reason for
We strength, although an unexpected ad-
tance Of. fs@bgbd in The prizes of wheat at
