New York, May 6.-The mormng >

slight early decline prices heid s,eaus

slowly. Early heaviness was due prih-
cinallv to continued realizing on d
small scale. The large speculative m
taresta held back, In the absence OF
leadarshin Of any developments win
influence on the financial affairs, trad
ers were conservative in their deaIngs
and the market developed no dennlte
trend. ,ero

Speculation was characterlzeo uui

dullness and hesitation, sucn a. ap

transacted in the first half hour. Low

St. Louis Wool.

ST. Louis, Mo-, May 6.-Wool values
were advanced Nc to 1c per pound on
the st. Louis market Tuesday. This
followed similar course at London,
where the rise was s to ~ per cent,
as compared with the previous auction
sales in January. In addition mills are
short OF supplies and eager for early
offerings, which are as yet far from
heavy, receipts at this center being
light For information at this time, the
clip for the country as whole is go
ing to be short this season, but against
this condition is the fact that the world
at large can be drawn upon by Amer
lean manufacturers. wool being now
on the free list Mills Of this country
were liberal buyers at the recent Lon
don sales, the activity in this line be-
ing In great measure responsible for
the strength of values there.

BIC WHEAT CROP
FR|GHTENs BULLS
SLIGHT MORNING RISE SOON
LOST DESPITE FACTORS THAT
MAKE FOR STRENGTH.

Chicago, May 6.-Although firm
cables and the fact that receipts north
west were light gave wheat some
strength at the outset today, the mar
ket later eased off. Prospects OF the
government report showing the larg-
est acreage and the highest condition
of the winter crop ever known at this
time of the year acted as weight on
prices. Demand was only of scat
tered sort. Quotations started hc Off
to Nc up, and then gradually sagged
under last nights level all around.
Lack of dry warm weather in the
spring crop region later caused renew :
al of strength. The close was steady at
n a &c net advance.
Better weather in Argentina led to
weakness in corn, Reports, however,
that shipments from that country were
greatly restricted brought about a
subsequent rally. Opening prices were
" to sc lower, but all Of the decline
was afterward overcome.
Prediction Of Increased domestic
acreage this season failed to prevent
an upturn. The close was steady, un'
changed to &c net gain.
Oats veered with corn. The volume
of trade was moderately.
Provisions rose account Of an adj
vance in the hog market. First sales
ranged from shade to TIC higher,
and there was no sign Of any important
reaction.

Chicago, May Clog prices climbed

not extend the demand to the degree
sellers had hoped for.
Trade in sheep and lambs proved

N. C. HARRIS STORING
 100 TONS OF SILACF

We went up to N. c. Harris farm and inspected the silo he put up last week. They were putting in corn silage ten ton per hour The silo is one hundred ton capacity. Four men were making things hum around the silo and in it. The silage is cut one and two inches in length, it is sight to watch the green corn disappear and then see the short stuff falling down in the silo. We congratulate MT. and Mrs. Harris on their good judgment and good fortune to be able to build silo. They surely will have fat cattle and no end to good milk and butter next winter.
