sHEEP-Receipts Of sheep this nlorninS
we're very limited, there being only one
car reported in and a small drlve.in Of
ewes. These sold very readily at what
looked like steady prices.
The receipts of sheep this week have
been very liberal. showing a heavy gain
over last week and a very large increase
over the corresponding week of last year.
In fact receipts this week have been the
largest for a number of weeks back. In
spite OF the heavy run the market has been
In very satisfa condition throughout.
On Tuesday there was a little weakness
IN the lamb market. but aside from that
both sheep and lambs have been quoted
steady to stronger every day, with the re-
suit that at the close OF the week prices
are around 1bQ25c higher than one week
ago.. All kinds. both sheep and lambs.
have sold at the highest point touched since
a year ago. In addition to being higher
the trade has been active on most Gays, an
early clearance being effected. n the

CHICAGO. April 3.-For the third con-

market closed strong al net gains for
the day of a shade. to 1G1hc, compared with
the previous close. Corn hahd oats also
closed firm and provisions steady, -,
Extreme bullishness was manifested in
the wheat pit throughout the entire day
and the volume of trade was large. Traders
weres apparently not disturbed by tho sus-
penehm of John Dickinson q Co, announced
here before, the opening of the exchange.
inasIntfch az the manager of the obnoern
here declared there woul6 be mo- losses TO
the Chicago trade. At the Same time II
was believed a good many short sales for
the account of the firm existed. This
proved true to some extent. as there was
buying of wheat for whom 1t may CON
cernf during the early part or the session,
presumably Dickinson short lines. The
market opened strong and at a. wide range
of prices. First trades on May were quoted
at $,20ik@1. 21k. the latter figure being the
1906. 1.-THE July delivery opened at S1.0sAm
1.0elz4 The strength at the start was due
TO the bullish situation surrounding the
cash grain IN this -eerntfs and to aifaed-
vance OF %dfkd at Liverpool. The leading
bull was on the buying side of the market
and this started plenty of covering by
shorts Early in the day prices reacted at
intervals on profit-taking. but toward the
end of the first hour prices again started
upward and before the upturn was checked
May had advanced to H.22h and July TO
SL0S&G During the final hour the market
was tpllishly effected by crop damage re-
ports and by an Improved demand for flour
in the northwest. TIL close was strong.
with May at d.2lMdf.21% and July at $l:0SM.
The corn market was ~spasmodic, trade
being active at times. and then inclined TO
drag. The tone, however. was firm all day.
The close showed net gains OF a shade TO
AQssc, May being at CSC and July at 6T7sc.
There was a broad and active trade In
oats and the market scored moderate gains
In sympathy with The strength OF other
grain. The market closed firm at net gains
OF ikd&c. Final quotations on May were
at b5NG55kc and on July 4SkQ4S9sc.
Buying by a local packer. based on a
SC advance in live hogs, was the feature
OF the provision trade At the close prices
were a shade to sc higher.

NBW YORK. April 3.-The selling Of
stocks which depressed prices yesterday
was proved by the action Of the market
today to have ipcluded a large proportion
cf bear operations on the short. side. The
bears seemed undisposed to leave their
commitments open over the weekend and
TO-DAY they bought to cover. The scanty
selling induced by yesterdays sharp re-
action, was an Influence in inducing this
action There was evidence of buying Of
the new series at tho decline In fprices

this also prompted the desire OF the shorts
to retire from a position considered vplher-
able. There was nothing in the news Of

Of any considerable revival IN trade 40

The days gains were fully held and the
market closed strong. The bank statement
disclosed some weakening of position,
principally owing to increase OF deposit lla-
bilities by the loan expansion. The ease
OF the money market indicates that this

CATTLE-As usual or a Saturday the
receipts Of cattle were 30 small that there
was nothing to make a market or to make
a test of values. For the week receipts
nave been quite liberal, showing consider
able gain over last week, bt still there Is
a slight shortage as compares with a year
ago.
The market on beef steers. owing to the
large supply. declined quite sharply the first
OF the week, and, although there was some
recovery later on, the market at the close
Is still weak to lOc lower than the finish
last week. At the tame time that prices
have had an easier tendency, the trade has
also been a little sluggish on most days,
but, nevertheless. everything received has
been sold. Considering the liberal receipts
the market, as a whole. has not been In
bad shape by any means.
The market on cows and heifers also
Shove some weakness during the first
two days OF the week, but later on, under
the influence OF free buying. they firmed
up until at the close they are steady to 10c
higher than one week ago. The movement
on cows and heifers on most days has
been reasonably active, the demand for that
kind of cattle being rather more brisk
than for the higher priced beef steers.
It would seem as II the country had
made up Its mind all OF a sudden to buy
the demand all this week has been very
I good. While receipts have been large, they
I; have been none too much to supply the
requirements OF country orders. With such
free buying every day 1t IL not surprising
that values gradually tended upward and
that they are now 10415c higher than last
week, with practically everything in the
yards cleaned up.
