minutes Of the market was responsible
minutes fthe market was responsible
for the Sensational rise which at ono
time shot May wheat TO $t.309s. The
market wassvery nervous all day.
A rush TO sell At the opening fol-
lowed by failure Of expected European
purchases started from " 20 y Of
cent lower than yssterday's Close. The
selling movement, however, soon was
superseded BY general buying move
ment which caused much fivctuation
In prices. Again today there was grsat
confusion In the pit among the brok-
ers. Many ~ them see In the double
setting Of records for the season In

St. Louis Horses and Mules.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Jan. 6.-Horses-
Eastern states put fairly good at
tendance Of buyers hero, and they
were after fat chunks and drafters.
Prices paid were satisfactory. South
al
Of smaller animals and in general,
values on these were steady. Army
horse contractors were in the market
for gunners and cavalry types. The
ages OF both classes range from TO
9 years and horses have to come in
this range or be rejected The height
is another important factor. They
must stand from 151 to 1873 hands
high. There Is a slight difference IN
the weights. The cavalry horses TAX
en- weigh about 100 pounds and the
artillery from 1900 to 1900 pounds
Prices are on q basis that shippers
will lose no money in getting these
types on the market. The range IL
from $3.50 to $40.
Mules-A few buyers were on the
market for good. sound, thick-made.
fat cotton mules ranging from 1913 to
ISL hands high. Sellers claim prices
for these kinds will not be high and
they don't expect them to go In bet
ter range than from $40 to $40.
While this squirt in the trade may only
be spasmodic, sellers are elated over
the fact that there are SOME signs Of
life to the market

ceipts were 6 cars on west and II on
