chicago, June demand from snip
pers carried the hog market upward
today but packers were slow to lend
support.
Eleven markets received $500 hogs
Friday. or 1890 less than last Fri
day, 1850 less than year ago and
10000 less than two years ago. Total
thus far this week $4,000, or $4,000
less than same period last week. 1s,0ut
less than like time last year, and IA
600 less than corresponding five days
two years ago. Total for 1917 to date
l2,4S9, 900, or l,315,000 less than same
period 1915, and 20s,ooO more than
corresponding time 1915.
Cattle.
Most of the cattle did not go on sale,
being sent to killers direct.
Prices late this week for steers show
practically no change when compared
with the close last week. On Monday
prices for bulk of offerings were lower,
but since that day there has been a
better feeling for most offerings. and
at the end there was a lot OF selling
that looked 10415c higher than the low
spot on the opening day.
Prime steers this week sold up to
$3.50, being the same as last week
and standing at the record level. which
was paid several times during the past
month. Receipts of cattle have been
large for the past several weeks. the
May total being the largest in abou,
ten years hnt still the demand was
large enough to cause a good acting
market.
The beef trade late this week in the
east is reported in bad shape. Supplies
there are large, while demand has be-
come smaller This is causing an &C
cumulation of supplies and weaker
feeling TO the market. At Philadelphia
the beef trade was reported today SO
cents lower than Monday. while at New
York and Boston weaker markets are
the case and chances for a clearance
this week. With this the case moder-
ate supplies are needed to maintain
stability In the steer trade. Advance
guesses on the Monday run indicated
a supply Of $4,000 to 10000 head. IL
appears that the trade will not need
over $4,000 head to handle nicely as
packers have been able 10 fill up from
the liberal onertn&s Of recent weeks
and any excess supply will mean .
slower trade and . chance to decline
prices.
Sheep.
Bulk Of sheep arriving were consign-
ed to packers.
Packers have been a very aggressive
set of bears in the sheep and lamb
trade this week and, altho receipts have
continued very meageg the local run
having been the smallest for any week
in recent years. prices have slumped
hard from the abnormally high level OF
the week previous and there are indica-
tons that the downward revision Of
values has not yet run its course. It
has not been question Of supply. The
consuming public and retail butchers
have both baked al the price neces-
sarily demanded for the dressed prod
uct and consumption has been sharply
reduced. The decline has been both
logical and seasonal and altho from
supply standpoint ".fie situation is
bullish. with less than enough dry
fed stock left in the big feeding sta
lions around Chicago to make, OF tt
self. one day Of fair receipts here,
packers are bent on getting values
down to a more workable summer
basis.

ct the present time that the amount
needed for tents could not be secured.
In statement today Secretary Baker
said:
"The quartermaster generals depar.
ment, cooperating with the council OF
national defense committee. studied the
project and discovered that the cost OF
building the number of cantonments
contemplated would be beyond the pos
sibilities Of the appropriation that con-

discovered that it would be imprlctic-s

an extent that it will be possible to-
have some Of the encampments n

I Contractors Boost Cost?
Recent hearings In the house ana
senate appropriation committees have
thrown some light on the tremendous
increase in the estimated cost Of build
ing the cantonment camps. In some
cases It has been charged that con-
tractors have been paying two or three
times as much for their material as
necessary because their profits are
to be based on percentage Of the total
cost of their work.
Furthermore, it has been charged
that contractors have paid as mucias
81 . day for labor which they could
get for 81 q day, the cost Of their work.
and consequently their profits. being
thereby Increased.

PROMISE OF GUARANTEED PRICES
TO STIMULATE PRODUCTION
BOOSTS VALUES.
TRADING, HOWEVER,
is EXTREMELY SMALL
Gives Decided Upward Swing to
Corn-Oats Follow Corn and Wheat
in Upward Movement-Pork and
Ribs Advance.

Chicago, June 2. Assurances thai
the government intends TO protect
growers in marketing their crops and
that prices would be guaranteed high
enough to stimulate production, tended
today to strengthen the wheat market
Trading, however, was extremely small
in volume. Opening prices, which
ranged 1 cent higher all around, with
July l.s9 and September at lS3, were
followed by further gains and then a
moderate reaction.
The fact that virtually no future de-
livery wheat was offered for sale led
subsequently, to an extraordinary ad-
advance, July soaring to eco. Septem-
Der TO 1.ss. an overnight respective gain
Of e2 and II cents. Later the market
dropped back with scarcely a single in
tervening trade. The close was unset
tied, to cents net higher. with July
at 2.0S and September at 1.s1.
Corn.
Continued unfayorable weather gave
a decided upward swing to corn values.
On the advance there was much profit
taking by recent short sellers. After
opening y cent off to 21ls cents up, the
market made a genera! rise TO we'll
above yesterdays finish.
No radical lasting setbacks ensued.
The close was nervous, ~ cents to ~
cents net d d-a2ce.
Oats.
Oats hardened with corn and wheat
Crop reports were hopeful but export
business of late has tempered bearish
enthusiasm.
Provisions.
Higher quotations on hogs carried
pork and ribs up grade. Closing out OF
spreads between lard and ribs, how
ever. had depressing effect on lard.

Chicago, June 2-Wheat-There be-
ing no open market in wheat, a few
shorts made a spectacular rally, bidding
against each other. The demand for
cash wheat was said to show some TN
provement, country millers being In
the Minneapolis market. Crop reports
are, for the most part favorable, and
the government report Is likely to show
higher promise than private fore
casts.
Corn-Corn was sharply higher due
to congestion In the short interest
Receipts in the spot market were very
light and the demand was such tina.
prices gradually advanced from to
cents per busheL This advance in price
Is timely and It is hoped that It will
result in renewed selling by country
holders, in order that industries may
be ably to supply continued good de-
mand for products. Farm feeding 10 BE-
ing reduced TO minimum and a faiI
run Of corn should naturally occur be-
tween now and harvest.
Oats-Oats were easier. The weather
generally being regarded as favorable
for the advancement OF the crop. The
spot market was steady and the same
premiums being maintained that OBJ
