for the first time in several months, when
December, which was liquidated on the
prospects Of a big crop In the northwest
dropped to 9S4Sc. AT the close the various
options showed a net decline of from &c to
ssQhc. Corn declined. h91hc and oats
finished weak. Provisions were steady.
There was selling pressure on the wheat
masket throughout the day. The selling
at first came mainly from bears who were
backing. their judgment of a bumper crop
in the northwest with considerable en-
thvsasm. At the decline more wheat
came put on exhausted margins or from
Disguised longs, Rosy prospects for the
crop were recorded In messages. Probably
1000, 600 bushels were sold abroad and the
cash demand from the sesboard was said

The story OF the corn market was that
OF wheat over again, with the net losses
greater. Liquidation began almost at the
opening. Western houses were sellers OF
the cash article here. Considerable De-
cember and May corn went to exporters
against sales for shipment in December
need Of corn for feeding purposes and a
disposition to buy at the decline was
eViEoed. " o.

CATTLE-The cattle run was very mod
crate this morning, only 147 cars being re-
ported in, making the total for the three
days this week II, 900 head, as against l3,O O
for the same three days last week. The
decrease of over 1000 head per day on an
average this week made buyers OF all kinds
Of cattle hungrier for supplies than they
have been on a good many days G. late.
Buyers Of beef steers we're out in good
season In the morning and IL was very
evident that they wanted the cattle from
the way they hurried from one pen to an
other. The result was an active trade,
with everything cleaned up in very good
season In the morning. Prices ranged any
where from strong to 10c higher. AS high
as SI;lb was paid this morning, making a
new high record for the year to date.
What has been said regarding beef steers
would apply equally we'll to the market on
COWS and heifers. In addition to a very
good local demand there were also good
consequence and prices strong to lOc higher
than yesterday.
The supply Of stockers and feeders has
been mall this week, and with the pros
poets that there would not be many more
IN later and with no surplus on hand,
spectators all wanted a few loads, 50
that the meager offerings were soon dis.
posed of. Prices were generally a little
higher than YESTERDAY, being in some cases
as. much as 10c higher. 1t will be noted
from the above that the market on all
kinds of cattle was In a good, healthy and
entirely satisfactory condition as viewed
from a sellers standpoint.

.sHEEP-The three days run Of range
sheep this week gives not only q larger
time since the opening of the range season,
but is larger than the receipts Of any three
consecutive days during the entire year.
Yesterdays supplies and today's estimate
to.al almost 100 double decks, which indi-
Gates that the range season has opened in
earnest. 1t viii be remembered that
that no small portion OF receipts was car
ried over into the afternoon. Practically
everything was sold, however, at price
levels noted in yesterdays report. The
principal reason why a slow trade at this
of the year Is more probable than at
any other time Ia because OF the larger
amount Of sorting that Is done before pens
are eventually cleared and supplies weighed
up. This condition of the range mutton
market features II annually and Is not to
be regarded as a reflection upon trade.
This mornings receipts, as has already
been noted, were liberal. about forty-five
cars being reported in. The bulk consisted
Of butcher stock. lambs and feeders from
rather quietly, with nothing much sold
early with which to test the market. As
the morning progressed It became apparent
that butcher sheep we're scheduled for a
little dent and statesmen and packers alike
were almost unanimous in calling the
market on this class Of stock right around
weak to a dime lower than yesterday.
Lambs, however, met with a warmer
reception and anything In pretty fair flesh
that possessed quality moved In good sea
son at prices that were generally strong.
One bunch Of butcher lambs sold early at
1913.
While the trade ir feeding stuff was a
trifle slow, prices as a rule held up about
steady, some pretty good lambs bringing
