cree was issued today to the effect

marks weekly of their earnings, to-
gether with a surplus amounting to
not more than one-third OF the
amount paid in excess of Is marks.
The residue must be deposited in saw
ings banks, not to be withdrawn dur

are unable to exercise proper super
vision.

Cattle receipts were II 900 head today, and
sales were steady with the close of last
week, or 25 to So cents lower than a week
grades, a quarter lower on stockers and
feeders. Keelers bought the steers reluct-
any and said prices would soolsrs be
ed with high priced beef, for which they
are receiving offers from retailers of prices
the price is lower depends on the supply.
Total supply at all points was consider
ably less today than week ago, and a
moderate run is expected tomorrow, for
the reason that large number of Colo
RADIO cattle are here today, and few are
looked for from that quarter tomorrow
The cattle now coming are bringing more
than owners expected in most cases, except
a few cattle bought too high in the country
last week. Cattle took good fill today,
many instances noted where gains over
weights at home were made, which is
equivalent to an advance of 10 to 20 cents
with a poor fill. No prime natives were
here but some very well finished steers
sold at $915 to $3.50, which might have
made $3.50 a week ago. Middle class
natives sold at ss25 to $s.s5. About 60 cars
of Colorado pulp and hay fed steers arrived
mostly at $3.50 to $40, some at $S.25, cows
in the shipments at $500 to $500. Sixteen
cars Of Idaho pulp cattle arrived dat: at $50
bulls brought s7.15 some Panhandle year
lings to killers $3.50. Stockers and feeders
sold with more snap today, some well bred
range stockers at $40 and $3.50. best grade
of stockers up to $3.50, and feeders up to
IS 10.
In the hog alleys it was battle for
sales. Early sales of light and medium
hogs at S9.35 to S9.45, including light hogs
at S9.45, were steady. Later the market
in some cases, top $3.50, bulk $500 to S9.45.

western markets was less than n week

Chicago, March 21.-wHEAT-whea
underwent a fresh decline today influenced
to a considerable degree by a decided in
crease in the European visible supply total.
Lower freight rates on the ocean both from
the United States and from Argentina
counted also against the bulls. In addition.
there were reports from Missouri telling of
fields greening up that heretofore was in
doubtful condition. Opening prices ranged
from &c to 14e lower with May at 1.0s1a
to $1.09 and uJly at $1.07 to SLOTS, but
were followed by a slight rally.
The close nevertheless was weak. Hc to
q a 15c net lower. with May at 81. 0S7s al 90
and July at $1.OIA @1OT%.
CORN-Corn showed weakness in sym
pathy with wheat. Besides the bears made
much of the fact that the stock of corn
in Chicago is now more than 100000
bushels. After opening Ac off to sc up
the market sagged moderately all around
The close was unsettled at Sc to A@ssc
net advance.
OATS-Oats gave way like other cereals.
There were predictions that the acreage
of oats this season would be largely in
creased.
PROVISIONS-Highe prices on hogs
tended to drift provisions. The market
appeared further to be responsive to the
record breaking advance in the value of
