Decatur was Outclassed yesterday,

times by the Commedores. The game
went seven innings by previous agree
ment. The Islanders made all their

of Il pitchers battle with Cowell. The
Tighers punched hits off the Decatur
twirler. while the Commodores could
not connect with Neal when a hit was
needed. Meals three-bagger 10 right
was one of the features. The Island
ers scored three runs in the seventh
inning on Kelley's single, pass 10
Wise, Meals three-bagger. Cotes err
ror on Murphy's fly. and Berger's sin

SHEEP-Receipts OF sheep were quite lib

ago, but still a good many operators on
the market are looking for a moderate run
this week. The market opened in very
satisfactory condition and in addition TO good
local demand there were liberal buying or
ders for shipping account, so that the de-
mand was very brisk and even in excess OF
the supply. The result was a very active
market, with prices ranging anywhere from

weeks close. The advance, If anything,
was the most marked on sheep, ewes espe-
cially showing a good gain. There were
no choice lambs to make a real test of the
market on that kind Of stuff. Everything
In sight was disposed OF by 3 o'clock in the
morning.
quite a string OF ewes. both western and
Mexican, sold up as high as $5.65. not only
the best price paid so far this month, but
the highest price paid for ewes on this mar
ket since May Of last year. Western weth-
ers reached 1876, the best price paid I'm a
long time. and Mexican yearlings, with a
few wethers among them, sold as high as
81. SO. The same lambs that brought Sill
the week sold up as high as 81. 40 this morn
ing. While there was nothing to prove t.,
the feeling was that a strictly choice bunch
OF Mexican Il mbs would bring $50 at least.
The demand for stuff that would do to
shear and feed out was very good, feeder
buyers paying as high as $40 for lambs.

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

CHICAGO, March 22.-Reported exhaus-
ton of Australia's exportable surplus OF
wheat transformed the wheat market today
from a decidedly weak affair into one Of
considerable strength. At the close. how
ever, prices were still "A shade to lsa4c
below the final quotations Of the previous
session. Corn closed firm, oats easy and
provisions strong.
Tn Change in sentiment in the wheat
pit occurred during the final hour and re-
suited I'm a display OF considerable activ-
NY and strength following a season of ex-
ueme heaviness during which time offer
ings found comparatively few buyers. The
reason for the late firmness was a cable
gram from a well known English crop sta
tIstician in which 1t was stated that only
100000 bushels of wheat available for ex-
port from Australia from this seasons crop
remains to be shipped thus indicating a
much less amount than had been previously
stimated, Several leading bulls gave the
market good support and shorts also COW
cred freely. The result was a quick adj
vance of lc from the low point Of the day.
Prior TO this rally the market was eX-
tremely weak. During the day May ranged
between NHh and si.l5l., while July sold
between NLOlIs and SlO25s. The market
closed at almost the top. with May at
'lI5t ara July at i1G2A9l;g3t ~
"t cables had a depressing effect on the
corn market during the early part of the
day. Late in the session, however, the
market rallied on talk of some export BUSH
ness having been worked at New York.
The rally in wheat also inspired buying In
the final hour. The close was firm with
prices sc lower to &c higher, May being at
66lGn66hc and July at 6Lc.
Oats were weak the greater part OF the
day. Cash interests and local holders were
the chief sellers and demand was manly by
shorts. At the close prices were Lsdl.c
lower, May being at SAC and July at 4Sc.
Provisions were strong all day, because
