from the southwest and west tended today
to lift wheat prices. Continued dry weather
was given as the chief cause Of injury. The
fact that some improvement was noted
In the number Of railway cars available

factor. Opening quotations which ranged
from &c Off to &c up. with May at sl,72h
to $l.73b and July at H.T& TO S14sh.

well above yesterdays finish.
Absence of any new export buying ope-
rated later as check on upturns in prices.

Hogs-The week closes with the smallest
run OF hogs that has been here since
week ago Monday, arrivals today counting
out 145 cars, or somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000 head Tho six days total OF
lo3.s4f head is $4,000 short OF the record
breaker last week. but Is more than $4,000
heavier than two weeks ago, and shows
gain Of over 5000 as compared with the
corresponding week last year.
Early wires from most points were OF
bullish nature, and with local supplies COM
parativeiy moderate and shipping compe-
tltion fairly keen. killer hogs started SELL
ing In good season at figures that looked
generally Sc higher than yesterday. Some
sellers refused TO call prices more than
steady to strong In spots. and II may be
n.out the same prices as shippers paid yes
ftsrday for similar kinds. but compared with
yesterdays killer trade, bulk OF the sales
showed full nickel upturn,
On tho extreme close tho early advance
was all lost One OF the packers failed TO
buy many hogs and other buyers took adj
vantage OF this to cheaper up their own
droves, most of tho hogs that came on the
last train az well as odd Loads OF Just fair
stuff left from early selling at prices that
were no more than steady with yesterday
and In some cases looked, II anything, lit-
tie easier. Most sellers fought the reductions
for while, as other points reported no
weakness late. but In the end everything
was cleaned up, statesmen prefcrring 10 make
concessions TO carrying hogs over until
Monday,
Bulk OF tho offerings moved at $1,000
ieeb and several loads sold MS high as
sls.3o, eaualing the record made earlier in
the week.
