UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPO LIS. April IS. Cattle Receipt, 1,250; ship ments, 400. Combined receipts of cattle for four days Indicate an Increase of 800 over the same time last week and 1,300 over the corresponding time a year ago. The re ceipts to-day were comparatively liberal, being about 400 larger than last Friday, 5oO larger than a year ago and the largest re ceipts since the 4th of this month. Trac- tlcally all kinds were represented, but there was a scarcity of strictly prime stock. There was an excessive surrly of common to medium klmls, and therefore the quality was only fairly satisfactory. The market opened with a fair inquiry for the best stock, and sales of that ck ss were usually at about steady prices, but for common to good kinds the bidding was generally lower, and salesmen were finally forced to accept about 10c decline, although there were a few dealers that claimed the market for good stock was steady. Of course the com mon to medium cattle suffered most and were rather dltScult to sell at even the de cline. Thero was a steady market for the best feeding cattle, but common stockers were neglected and had no fixed value. A very fair clearance was Anally made at current prices. Steers sold as high as $7, heifers $t.23 and cows $ö.7ö.

The marketing uf hogs thus far this week shows an incre.the of 3.rj over the samo time last week nnd a decrease of over 4,5oU compared with the corresponding time' a year ago. The receipts to-day were the largest they h;ive been since April 4. and thow un increase of about Löw over a week ago and a year ugo. The arrivals were characterized ly the scarcity of prime havy grade?, and tb quality of others was barely as good as the average represented recently. The market t-pencd with a fair rQuest for good htavy hcifa. ami shipping orders, which were fairly liberal, wer tilled at juotabiy steady prices compared with rest day. Packers were indifferent and believed, ort account of th Increased sup ply, with no import. mt demand from out ride sources, that they could break prices, although the conditions -l.-ewhe.-e did not justify It. .Therefore they made a very etrong play fr lower prices, s 1 s:n n, however, were not easily Influenced, and. wttb h much Independence as packers dis played, held their consignments for at least steady prices. It took some time to concen trnt their views, but salesmen wert- tlnnlly victorious and succeeded In making a sails factory clearance on a basld of yesterday's prices, o far as the good weight hogs were MILL j r iV "r - - DIRECTORS: WILLIAM DUGDALE HERMAN LIEBER JOHN PERRIN JOSEPH C. SCHAF HENRY SEVERIN BUSINESS IN INDIANAPOLIS AI concerned. Light mixed grades, as usual for the past few days, were puzzlers and were rather difficult to sell. Some salts were, no doubt, steady, while others were probably 5fK'c lower, and consequently there is a wider spread to report in prices than yesterday.

Thus far this week the receipts of sheep and lambs have shown an increase of nearly C00 over the same time last week and a slight change compared with the corro Fponding time a year ago. The receipts were about the same as a week ago and only about one-third as large as a year ago. Only fair quality was represented and there were not enough of every grade to estab lish a rane in prices. On account of the limited supply there wan no really urgent competition between buyers and it took more or less time to fix a trading basis, but a good clearance was finally made at steady prices compared with the way equal kinds have sold the past few daya. Lambs sold at JT.26.50, spring lambs and ewes mixed at $4. clipped yearlings at $..73. old sheep at ll'ito.Zt) and bucks at $vTf4.

April 13.-The varied activ ity of very large speculative forces was still manifest in'the stock market to-day. The movement of prices was entirely char acteristic of an active speculative move ment under a well-centered and aggressive leadership. The dealings were on a larger scale than those of yesterday, and progress was made also in the breadth of the move ment and the variety of the stocks dealt In. The average of the dally dealings for the week has been brought up to impressive proportions, and in fact to a level of sus tained activity that was entirely unprece dented In the local stock market until last year's new records were established during the period of greatest speculative excite ment. There was nothing in the news to day or in the general conditions and out look to account for the manner in which new points of strength were constantly de veloped, while the older points of strength were left to drift downwards or were sub ject to a judicious feeding of the demand for the purpose of realizing profits. Those stocks which spurted late yesterday and those which opened this morning with a vigorous upward movement almost without exception were subject to realizing and closed the day with small net gains below the best prices. This was notably true of Atchison and the anthracite coalers, and was measurably true of stocks which showed periods of strength later in the day. Broadly speaking, the leadership of the advance was shifted to St. Paul and then to Union Pacific, with a more mod erate response among the other South westerns and Pacifies. Southern Railway and Louisville fell Into the background again. The bituminous coal carriers en Joyed a period of strength and there were a number of wide advances among scattered industrials and specialties. Colorado Fuel was active and strong on a speculative sup position that absorption of that company into the United States Steel fornorstion had been assured as a part of the settle ment of the control of L.. & N. Interna tional Power was extremely erratic, but rose an extreme 10U. presumably on the dividend declaration yesterday. There were gains of between 2 and 8 points in North American, People's Gas, Rubber Goods stocks and New York Air P.rake. the Amer ican Snuff stocks, Port Worth & Denver City stamped and Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis. Burlington. Cedar Rapids & Northern dropped 10 points on a single sale and Brooklyn Union Gas 3. Amalgamated Copper was quiet, but somewhat depressed after yesterday's dividend reduction. Amer ican Sugar was sold on the strength of the proposed amendment to the Cuban reci procity bill to rescind the differential duty on refined sugar. The preliminary figures of the cash move ment for the week indicating a gain in re serves of over $1,500.000, and an easier tone in the money market were calculated to sus tain the speculative movement. The fact that sterling exchange has ruled easier throughout the week in spite of large Amer ican subscriptions to the new British loan and some selling of securities here on Lon don account, while the supply of commer cial bills of exchange is notably scanty, is striking evidence of the large credit re sources of this center in foreign markets. The market closed active and Irregular. The activity in stocks has diverted in terest from the bond market, which was rather dull and irregular. Total sales at par value were $.", 975,000. I'nlted States threes, coupon, advanced i; per cent, and the old fours, coupon, declined ?8 on the last call.

International Stocks In netter De ninnil Than for Many Months. Meyer Sc Kiser's TeleKram. NHW YORK, April IS. The market opened with slightly less activity, but nev ertheless very strong. The London market for Americans were all above local closing prices, and a strong demand from there, especially for coal stocks, caused a sharp advance In Reading at the opening. Atch ison was in demand, and was well bought at a point advance. Illinois Central was prominent in the trading, gaining two points in the first half hour. All of the International issues. Union Pacific leading, continued to how inherent strength on purchase made for foreign account. The news regarding a settlement of tha Boer war whs suffciently encouraging to the for eigners to see their way clear to buy Amer icans. The market altogether was a broader, stronger one for the internation als than has been seen this year, and in the last half hour the heavy purchases of Illinois Central. Baltimore & Ohio and other like issues foreshadowed a continua tion of the upward movement. The bank statement to-morrow will be interesting as to showing of the loan item. Owing to continued activity and advance in the stock market all of this week in which the public has taken a considerable Interest a large increase in the loan showing is expected.

It Influence Ileflected on Corn nnI Ont, AU Cercnls CloaliiK Lower 1'rovUious Also Are Down. CHICAGO, April lS.-Grain speculation was nervous and of a see-saw nature to day. Traders realized that rain must come soon to the relief of the winter crop, and local opinion and prices swung upon this pivot. Every breath of rumor suggesting moisture affected prices. In the end the crowd turned bearish, and May wheat closed 8'U:?c lower, corn c down and oats c lower. Provisions closed 2io to X2iC depressed. There was not such a volume of busi ness In the wheat pit as for several days past. The crowd was in a guessing frame of mind and feared possible rain news might cause a break at any moment. There was any quantity of bullish news, but un der the prevailing sentiment much was lost sight of and the trade seemed deaf to anything: but rain possibilities. The condi tion, as one expert put it, is one of dry ness from Pennsylvania to Texas and north to the North Dakota line. The trade understands well what can happen if rains do not fall. The extreme of dryness centers in Kansas. No rain, save an occasional shower, has fallen in twenty-four hours, and the forecast was for clear, dry weather in general. Kansas City reported high winds and bugs injuring Kansas wheat. One statistician put up a claim of 5 to 10 points' Injury in Kansas since April 1. Argentine advices state that the outlook was bullish, the government helping the ! provinces buy seed wheat. At the opening there was a ehort-lived spurt. May prices starting KGc up, at 74Hc to 74!feC Cables were only steady, and, under the influence of the prevailing nervousness of the pit, prices were somewhat erratic in their fluc tuations. There were frequent dips and as frequent rallies, though the latter were weaker each time. Gradually the bears prevailed. There was a rumor of rain falls West, and profit taking and some short selling pressed until May closed weak, Nli c lower, at IIiTUThC. Local receipts were thirty-eight cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported ninety eight, a total of 13Ö, against 137 last week and 300 a year ago. Primary receipts were 1U7.000 bu. compared with 32)1,000 last year. Argentine shipments for the week were WOX'O bu, against 1,076.000 the week before. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 451,000 bu. Trade in corn was Inclined toward the waiting attitude, llusiness was moderate ly active at times, but the uncertainty of the course of the wheat market was a bar to marked sympathetic action. There was a disposition to wait for some one to take the lead. Reported Improvement in country offerings was a drag on the bulls, and a break at St. Louis early in the session was reflected by a dip here. The weather is not much of a factor in corn, save as it affects wheat, oats, hay, etc. Anything which tends to shorten coarse feed is felt by the corn trade, and reports of hay crop damage resulted in a hurried upturn in corn at the opening. May started Wif-fac higher, at 62r"S''i27flc, but at once broke. Rallies followed wheat somewhat, but the market showed bearish tendencies. Oats contributed strength ut times. The late wheat weakness brought May corn to a weak close, ?&c down, at tl2c. Receipts were slxty-slx ears. Oats had a fairly sharp trade. Ruslness was big in general and prices fluctuated rapidly. The strength in other tTains and the fear that the dry weather would be more dangerous to oats than to any other grain pressed prices up at the opening. Receiving and commission houses bought liberally, and the market seemed to take on independent strength. Later considera ble selling pressure came out and the bull ish aspect of the pit underwent a change. Wheat and corn weakness were only mod erate factors in the setback. May sold be tween He and 43c, closing weaker. Ho down, at the latter price. Receipts were 126 cars. Provisions looked like a manipulated market to-day. Though trade was quiet, prices early were strong on the grain strength. The hog market was only steady and may have contributed to the growing weakness, but prices were pressed by the local-bears. Tackers supported but little. May pork closed 12H? lower, at $16.80, lard 24c down, at 53.75, and ribs 25c lower, at $0.20TH.22Vi.
