Fears were expressed yesterday that the Salt river might rise high enough to tear out the repair work done in January and February on the South Consolidated canal, which parallels the river for several miles, just below the Granite Reef dam. A gain in reservoir contents yesterday of 25,7O4 acre feet and consequent rise in the river be- low the dam leads to the belief that a damaging rise may be experienced.
 High water in midwinter washed the canal banks, so that considerable re- pair work had to be done.

 Trade in oats was of a local char acter. Absence of any urgent demand from the seaboard tended to keep prices from recovering fully with wheat and corn.
 Higher prices on hogs strengthened provisions. At one time, however, the market suffered a sharp temporary setback as a result oe the transient depression of corn.
