CHICAGO DAILY
MARKET NOTES

An immense export business has
been done In oats In the last few days
although many local cash handlers are
inclined to make light Of 1t. New
York reported 100000 bu sold for ex-
port Saturday. and on Friday claimed
more wired after the close that sales
were limited only by the ability of east
ern banks to finance the business and
claimed that they could have sold L.
100000 bu during the day had they
been able to obtain the money Sea-
board exporters were credited with
having bought 100000 blu oats at Chi
cago. One Of the New York export
houses was a good seller on the bulge.
Charles Sincere & Co. says: "This
drop in estimate of 100 cars corn here
confirms many mail reports from I'LL
nois, Nebraska and Iowa points last
two days, claiming reserves about
cleaned up and farm offerings over un-
til great inducement in the shape OF
higher cash prices"
"The shrinkage in prices in hog pro-
duct can be attributed to the absence of
the usual foreign demand for lard,
notably Germany, while in consequence
OF the very poor trade conditions in
the south the demand for meats this
year Is being materially curtailed" says
Paul Tietgens. Furthermore, we are
beginning to approach period of
heavy hog receipts as the result Of a
record spring pig crop, which Is ma
turing without the usual sickness"
Arrivals tor next week are estimated
at $4,000 cattle. 100000 hogs and 12o,-
600 sheep, against I,784 cattle, 1O9,812
hogs and 1902 sheep corresponding
week year ago.
Political situation has improved, and
Already Italy, Greece, Scandinavia and
Holland are inquiring for wheat"
cabled Broomhall. German demand
Will be enormous. as already Russia is
consuming largely Of her supply"
Grain traders are more divided in
their opinions Of the market than at
any time since the war started. Bears
look for liberal hedging and short sales
to be encountered in wheat on any
further bulge, while bulls expect ex-
port business on all breaks to cause
rallies Sentiment in corn favored a
break, and many Of the local traders
were said to be short Oats had more
friends, owing to q belief in large ex-
port business present and the prospec-
tive and lighter receipts.

Hundreds of women and children

What Villa Says.
General Villa said:
THE credit for this victory is due
to General Toribio Ortega. He led
the original attack a week ago. We
knew the federals had only a limited
supply Of ammunition. Our tactics
were to exhaust that supply. General
Ortega started an attack to draw the
federal fire. He succeeded we'll.
For a whole week the federal gar
rison kept firing back at US with lit
tie effect. We did not go near enough
to endanger our men. Then we with
drew for six days to obtain more am
munition. Our renewed attack set
tied the conflict. The federals were
exhausted and the flight to the Uni
ted States began just as we planned
it would.
Our future plans arc now well de-
fined. AS o as the situation here
is clear, I. with some of my troops,
will return to chihuahua, whence VIC
Viii conduct our campaign south'
