SHEEP-Receipts OF sheep this morning
v ere large. but the quality OF the arrivals
was not good on an average. as on most
Gays during the last week or two. In fact,
there was quite a spFinkling Of stuff on the
trashy order. The arrivals consisted very
largely of lambs, while tho supply OF weth-
ers, yearlings and ewes we're rather small.
Owing TO the moderate offerings OF sheen
the market was generally steady, witt
Lretty decent kind of yesrlings touching
US, old wethers at $40 and ewes at $500
Inferior kinds were pretty dull sellers
However, the better grades were cleaned
up in good season.
Lambs were slow throughout the session
and prices were generally 10915c lower
than last week. Buyers did not appear 10
be In any hurry about filling orders and
the trade lacked the life and snap usual at
this point. A pretty decent kind Of lambs
sold up to S.B, with clipped at $685.. There
were a few spring lambs among the re-
ceipts this morning, the best that have been
here SO far this season. They sold as high
as sl1.5O.

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were moder-
ate this morning, 40 cars being reported
IN. About half OF this number consisted of
steers on the stocker and feeder order.
The market on beef steers was very
slow throughout, but stln about steady
prices were maintained. There were corn
teds good enough to sell UP to 81. 80, with
hayfed westerns at s.. 2Oq5. 80.
COWS and heifers were In very good de-
mand and they sold more freely than was
the case with beef steers, the market being
falrly active and steady.
In spite of the large receipts of stock
ers and feeders the market was I'm a good.
healthy condition, being generally quoted
steady with last week. The big bulk OF the
receipts changed hands in fair season In

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board OF Trade.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Wheat for MAY de-
livery equalled today the high record mark
or sl22h established Saturday, while the
July option made a new record of sLOS7s
CLOS. After a nervous session the market
closed fairly steady. with prices hc lower
10 40 higher compared with the previous
easy.
For the fourth consecutive day wheat
for July delivery touched a new high point
for the season, but the May option failed
TO rise above the record breaking price
reached on the preceding session. The mar
ket was extremely choppy nearly ali day
and the volume of trade was not large.
Many local traders were indisposed to ex-
tend operations owing to the holiday to-
morrow and to the issuance Of the govern
ment report the following day. Leading
holders of the May delivery were credited
with liberal sales OF that month whenever
the price neared the f.22 mark. The OPEN
Ing was rather weak, owing largely to poor
response of the Liverpool market to the
strength here Saturday and the poor show
Ing OF the Missouri crop report. which re-
corded a material deterioration in the con-
dttion OF fall sown wheat in that state.
Early In the day the market was inclined
to drag, especially the deferred futures.
Buying of the May delivery by the bull
leaders. however, caused g, firmer feeling.
Crop reports from the southwest were more
optimistic, but advices from the Ohio river
valley were again somewhat bullish.
Weekly statistics seemed to have little ef-
feet. the market throughout the day fluct-
uating In accordance with the attitude Of
the principal bulls. During the day MAJ
sold between S1.1k and $1.22.. while July
ranged between $l.0S and $1.OS7sd1.09. The
market closed about steady, with May at
S.nbd1.1A and July at N.0SA91. 08%.
Trade In corn was quiet and prices moved
within a narrow range. The market closed
easy AT a net loss of lsdAc compared with
the previous session. Final quotations on
May we're at 67%6S77sc. and July. 66sc.
oats were weak Throughout the greater
part Of the day. At the close prices were
is@hc to %GAc lower, with May at 55ssc
ard July at 47kc.
Provisions were easy because of selling
OF September products by a western con-
Germ. At the close prices were unchanged
10 21zc lower.

An Old Man Has Close Call.

Tuesday afternoon: on the mud flats
south of the Central Railroad, where it
crosses the Cohansey river, an old man
named Bates had very close call for
his life.
In wandering about the meadows
Bates had gotten out on the mud flats,
and had sank in the quick sand, which
was quickly swallowing him up. The
sand is very treacherous at this point
Crying for help, the poor old man at.
tracted the attention of officer Bacon
who rushed to the Raceway livery for
some rope and board. Employees of
the railroad also heard the cries and
they rescued the man from his perilous
position. A few moments more and
the treacherous quick sand would have
swallowed him up.
The old fellow could give little in
formation of himself. excepting that he
lived upon Nichols street. He was
taken to his home.
