COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIA Bullish Factors Prevail and Grains Par- tinlly Gain Baock Recent Losses, PROVISIONS DEVELOP STRONG MARKET Packers Support that Trade and Pash Prices Up, but Cereal Business Loses Outside Patronage by Poor Wire Service. CHICAGO, April 2.—Wheat experienced 8 normal reaction from yesterday's bad slump and with numerous bullish’ factors Dbehind lent Its strength to other grains Trade was not heavy, but July wheat closed %c higher, July corn %c higher and July oats ig@%c higher. Provisions Salned 12%¢ to I . Deticlency of moisture in Kansas and al- most freezing temperatures in many parts of the wheat beit was enough to start ‘wheat upward at a good pace at the open- ing of trade. To augment the strengtl bles were firmer than had been expected d receipts both primary and northwest- ern were small. Inasmuch as the shortage in_receipts has been apparent for some time aud comparisons been made against a short-crop year, ars b me discouraged ugain d 18 cove ered freely. kxcepling rains, cvery argu- ment was In favor of the bulls, Traders were of the opinion that it takes som thing more than a rain or two to make a barvest. After the initlal upward impulse trade was quiet for a time prices fluctu~ ated weakly. Concerning hansas Brad- strect's had a speclal report saying a three-fourths yleld at the best and & per eent probable was to be expected. Weather forecasts had a bad effeot. Frosts were predicted In mnllr of the western states and In just the places where warmth {s most hecessary. Then me the feport of seaboard clearances of 16,00 bushels, exceptionally large and of & falr outlook for export business with France. Prices worked up, trade became more active and the greater part of yes- terday’s loss was regained. July opened to %c higher at To%@ib% to ToY@ioh, ivanced to i and closed firm, %c up at R@76%C. 1 1 recelpts were 33 cars none of contract grade, making a_total for the three points of 188 cars, against 143 last week and 49 a year ago. Aus- tralfan shipments were only 152,000 bushels, against 576,000 bushels last year. Primary Teceipts were 215,000 bushels, compared to 445,000 bushels last year. Brokers on corn reported the lightest trade in_that pit for Saturday in many weeks. One explanation was the bad wire mervice on account of the storms, which almost shut off outside trade. Another cause was the hard folt speculaiors re celved yesterday and which they had hardly gotten over today. What argument there was favored the bulls. Wheat strength and firm cables alded in an early urmm. but prices were very narrow most of the'session. Speculative offerings were Yery light and consequently there was lit- tle gelling pressure. The cash demand was ood and southwest was very bullish, St ouls reported good cash sales and more desired than could be obtained. In gen- al_corn without feature, save its strength. Jul sold between 6414@63'5c and closed firm, Yc up at G%c. Recelpts were B4 cars. After a firm opening in oats in IYmDIthy with the strength in the other pits there was 4 momentary selling press- ure due to the recent heavy rains and thelr effects on the sown oats. When this pressure was removed there was some re- sponse to light demand and prices ad- vanced. July (new standard) sold between $7%@87T%c and 3r¥c_and closed firm, 4@%c up at 37%@37%c. Recelpts were 13 cars. Trade in provislons was largely local be- cause of wire service. At the start the groin improvement and « steady hog mar- et reduced buying, which (even as hog rices weakened) continued to improve, here was a momentary disposition to sell on the hog situation,” but a very good ckers' support developed a strong mar- et. Pork was In best demand, but lard was also wanted. Trade In general was dull. July pork closed 17%c higher at 7.06; July lard 12%c up at $10.07% and uly ribs 12%c higher at $9.47%.

The table of receipts above will show that for the week the supply is a trifle in excess of last week and of same week of last year. The mar- ket has been rather uneven and while there is no great change for the week, prices fluctuated more or less from day to day. Beef steers made up the bulk of the offer- ings all the week. The quality was the best that has been seen here this year. The first part of the week trading was quite actlve and the temdency of prices was upward, but the last nalf the market was siow and prices broke. As compared with the close of last week choice cattle are probably not over 5Git lower, but the medfum grades and undesirable cattle of all kinds are safely 10@lsc lower, and in some cases the decline is, perhaps, even more than that. The cholce export cattle and the "lh("eifhl cattle of good flesh and quality continue to sell to the best ad- Vantage, As high as §7 has been paid this week for cattle welghing 162 pounas. Prime steers may be quoted from $6.50 to $.00. Fair to good from $.00 to $6.50, and the commoner grades from $5.00 down. The cow market was also in good shape the first of the week, but toward the close the tendency on the part of packers was to pound the market. The very best grades, such as sell from $5.50 to $6.00, are prob- ably not much of any lower, but there are very few of that class of cows and helfers being offered. The general run of cattle are probably 10@16c lower for the week, and common stuff in some cases sold worse than that. On Friday in particular unde- sirable grades were very hard to move. The bulk of the cows are selling from $.60 to_$5.00. "The best grades of bulls are right around steady for the week, but others are a little Jower. The same is true of stags. Cholce veal calves will stlll bring 700, but any- thing that is a little lacking in'quality is lower for the week. The stocker and feeder trade has not been particularly good this week. Toward the Slose of the week, in particular, the demand Was very light, and it was thought that the lack of rain was the cause. Operatol s a rule were looking for an improve- ment in_the demand after the rains of Friday. The very best heavywelght feeders are parhaps not much lower for the week, but all others can safely be quoted 15@2c Jower. It takes a choice bunch of cattle now to bring around .00, HOGS—There was a moderate run of hogs here today, but s other markets were quoted lower prices at this polnt eased off Sbout a nickel. Packers started in and fried to buy them 5@loc lower, but sellers held on for more money and the market finally settled down to just about a nickel decline.
