WHEAT IS STRONG
DESPITE CABLES
BEARISh NEWS FROM ABROAD
FAILS TO STILL ARDOR OF THE
AMERICAN TRADERS.

Chicago, March 6.-Wheat developed
strength today in spite OF weak cables.
The market at first was easier In SYM
pathy with Liverpool but offerings
proved to be light and scattered. Prices
rallied quickly on buying due somewhat
to the fact that receipts northwest
showed an unexpectedly sharp falling
off. Opening figures which varied from
last nights level to A a a C lower were
followed by a general advance.
A slight sag ensued but improved ex-
port demand brought about later fur-
Their upturn. The close was steady " q
II to " % ~ net higher.
In the corn crowd predictions that
receipts during March and April would
not be more than a third of the amount
a lear ago helped to bring about an up
turn. Several large spectators were
good buyers. Quotations after starting
"a off to Is UP made an all around as
cent.
Largely increased offerings afterward
led to a reaction but the market again
hardened. The close was steady, shade
to " c above last night.
Talk Of Canadian competition had
some effect on the oats market. Firm
ness Of other cereals, however, checked
the bears.
Higher prices for hogs gave provis-
ions a lift. First sales were IN to &c
higher and there was a subsequent fur
thor gain.

FARMER BANKRUPT;
CANNOT BUY. FEED

Creston, March 5.--A voluntary banff
ruptcy proceeding which is quite, QUITE
the ordinary in several respects waa
filed here by Frederick A. Trimblerya
prominent farmer residing near Cory
don in Wayne county Iowa. The most
peculiar and unusual feature Of the
proceeding is request that a trustee
be appointed at once In order that live
stock on the home place of Mr.. Trimble
might be provided with food, 1t being
claimed that the applicant has no
money with which to purchase food for
his stock.
The applicant lists liabilities to the
amount of $19.60s. which Is also very
unusual among bankruptcy proceedings
brought by farmers However the great
er portion of the indebtedness is mort
cages on the home farm OF Mr.. Trimble.
Mr.. Trimble further states that he Is
absolutely insolvent, and claims ex-
emptions from his liabilities of $1,055.
