SLUMP.
PRICES STEADY TO STRONG,
WITH BULK At $3.50 TO 50
All Western Markets Have Full Quota

Missouri River Markets Being Heav-

Chicago. April 17.-There were only
$4,000 hogs at six principal western
markets today, against $4,000 a year
ago, and the decline noted earlier in
the week was checked. Prices today
were steady to strong, with the bulk
OF sales at $3.50 to 50.
Eighty eight thousands hogs arrived
at the eleven leading markets We'd
nesday. being $4,000 more than week
ago and 5000 more than corresponding
Wednesday a year ago.
Chicagos estimated number at $4,000
was 1900 larger than a week ago and
$500 larger than year ago. Kansas
City had 5000 more than a year ago,
while Omaha had $500 less than cor
responding Wednesday year ago. Buff
falo had 1000 less than week ago and
1900 more than year ago
Cattle.
Cattle were steady, all western mar
kets having their full quota.
Indicative of the fancy quality OF
tops here Wednesday was the price
premium they made over any other
steers in some weeks past, Moog &
Greenwald paying 1925 for a two-loao
IL
fed Herefords for S. S. 1earnard. OF
Boston. These were fed by Amack
Bros. Red Cloud, Neb. Another drove
of prime heavy steers sold TO Swift at
1920, while few lots made $4,000
80. but anything at even money and
better vas in the specially class, to
which general decline did not apply
A load of very choice yearlings made
$500. but there were few yearlings
above $3.50 and that price took good
kind of yearlings as we'll as 1850 to
400 stuff. while bulk of the choice
heavy steers sold at sS.60dS.so
Run at $4,000 here Wednesday was
nearly half the crop at six markets and
stood against 1915 at Chicago last
Wednesday and 1881 year ago,
while total at the six points Wednes-
day. standing at 31.10o, was 400 in
excess of a week ago. Chicago week
TO date crop was 45,2s1. against 49,
sa5 week ago and 44.7S7 year ago.
Six markets three day crop stood
lOs.O 900, a 10000 increase over week
ago and 1900 more than a year ago.
Sheep.
Sheep trade was somewhat longest
ed Missouri river markets being heav-
lily supplied.
Eastern dressed trade is known to be
in bad shape. and this is having its
bad effect upon the local market. Re
tailers are compelled to ask high prices
for the dressed sheep here, and in the
east as they pay comparatively well
FOR it from the wholesaler. who, in
turn has not been able to buy any
thing cheap for several months. Con-
sumptive demand has slumped sharply
in recent weeks. and that was partly
responsible for the Indifferent demand
for offerings from local packers as
we'll as for the lack of outside orders
Early last week the market had an
unexpected advance and a week ago
was the high spot. but present selling
is mainly 50m6O cents off from then.

time since the recent heavy rains and

Chicago, April 17.-wheat-The

but at no time was there material con-
cesston from the prices at the close

from 4 to y higher. Foreign markets
were mainly higher. the exceptions be-
ing Berlin and Buda-Pesth. A differ
ence Of % cents between the price OF

the wheat at Duluth 1t Is crediblv re-
ported that about three and quarter
million bushels has been sold to Chi

today with total Of 2s5, 900 bushels
sold. Five small boats cleared late yes

Recent leaders on the bull side OF corn
have been talking rather bearishly.

little that Is bullish in a poor quality
