Chicago, May a-Beartsh cable news
gave q. downward turn to wheat. Mar
ikets on the other side of the Atlantic
took no notice OF the advance on this
,side yesterday, but on the contrary
acted IN response to predictions OF lib
ieral shipments from Argentine. Fur
ltheremore there were reports OF gener-
Gus offerings by Russia Cash demand
In American centers gave no sign OF
Improvement, millers not displaying
tho least anxiety to purchase. Besides.
the crop outlook was more favorable
,sood rains having occurred in western
kansas and Nebraska Opening prices
were II to I cent lower. May leao!nS.
July started at SS5s to SS7s. loss OF
u to a, and steadted around the lower
level.
Statements by a leading expert that
the winter wheat condition Is $50
against s5.5 last month, and that spring
wheat shows 1,000o 900 acres increase
over last year led to further weak
ness. The close, however, was steady
at sSss for July, net loss OF IS
Corn.
Better weather eased off the corn
market. The fact, too, that shorts had
covered freely made sentiment less
.bulnsh. July opened Is to 4 down al
52Z to 527s and declined TO 52ss.
j Increased offerings from the country
formed a source of further depression.
The close was steady, tho, at 527s q

Oats.
There was quite a little selling pres
sure on oats. July started a shaoe
lower at 321&. touched 321 q 32&s, ana
fell to 32h.
Provisions.
A big run of hogs made provisions
weak. First sales were to 17ts cents
cheaper. with July deliveries at s14.971a
and s15o5 for pork, ss.071: for lard, and
the same for ribs.

steeker. and Feeders.

Chicago, May 3.-Market for stock
ers and feeders held on fully steady
basis, with the good quality stockers
clearing briskly at the prices, while
heavy weight feeding steers continued
to come in for a slow and Indifferent
call. Fresh receipts Of thin cattle We're
not particularly heavy and with local
reserves held by dealers who looked
forward to better things ir the trade
ior feeding stock, the market appeared
to be in healthy condition at the eS-
;ablished prices. Attendance of cour-
Try buyers was small. but more favor
able weather and Slight indications of
an impending Improvement in the mar
Eet for fat cattle are counted upon to
attrac: more farmers to the market
and the demand is expected to broaden
as the week progresses.
How eager country feeders with pas
turage at hand are to get hold OF some
fancy, well-bred, lightweight stochers
was indicated in a sale made wherein
a drove of twenry-seven stockers aver
aging 7G2 pounds sold at So.3o This
price is about as high as country buy
ers are willing to pay for heavyweight
feeding steers and shows that stockers
are selling relatively better than the
heavy thin steers. This condition is
due primarily to the unsatisfac Glory
conditions which have existed i'll the
market for fat cattle for the last two
weeks, a!tho the fact that the grass
season is eat hand is a prime factor In
contributing to the popularity OF the
young stock steers.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, May 3.-Horse market gave
way under pressure OF excessive re-
ceipts and sales were made at a de-
cline of fully $40 from last weeks
high level, with many dealers re-
porting even more Of a loss.
There was fair attendance OF buy
ers here and the trade was moderately
active, but the large number OF ami
mails pressing on sale made It impera-
tive that sellers secure quick action on
the offerings, and they found that the
only way this was possible was by
accepting prices that showed sharp
discount from last weeks figures. the
supply included several good sized
consignments Of good quality. smooth.
400 to 1900 pound chunks. which sold
so satisfactorily few days ego. but
even these were not exempt from the
decline, and range of from 1870 TO
$3.50 caught lot OF animals that would
have reached $20o924o last week.
Plain quality, under sized horses
were hit harder than any other class
and sold at a los: Of largely SIS. with
the bulk clearing at 800 to $135. Fair
to good expressers and wagoners were
unevenly lower at $3.50 to S1s5. Well
matched pairs Of 1900 to 1600-pound
horses cleared at $43oG4s5. also show
ing loss for the day. Receipts for two
days this week make an aggregate on
approximately 1900 head. as contrasted
to 1885 for the flrst two days last
week and 1888 for the corresponding
period q year ago. The supply here
the last two days is more than the
trade can handle :. comfortably and
country shippers will do wen to moder-
ate their forwardings for the next few
DAVIS. The general. market is con-
eested at the following range of auc-
ton prices for classified receipts:

should Include not only dangerous ex-

less noise. The sick In our hospitals ana

recommend also that at all times. within
the boundaries OF this city, the keeping
Tor sale of revolvers and pistols be ao-
