CHICAGO, Feb. 28.— retrograde move
ment on a moderate scale marked the
early course of the grain and hog pro
duct markets today. Provisions at the
close showed no recovery, being from
5c to 12%e under-yesterday's final-figures,
but the grain markets received better
support on the dip, corn closing %c high
er, oats unchanged and wheat—
easiest of the grains—%c lower.
May wheat, having opened unchanged
to a shade lower at 76% cto 7%@76%c, de
clined during the first hour to 70% c under
moderate sales by commission houses
and generally bearish pit traders. The
flrst dip was accomplished in the face of
Steady cables and moderate receipts.
Persistent buying by a leading elevator
firm finally had the effort of alarming
shorts, and a sharp rally to 76% c took
place. The liberality of seaboard clear
ances and the moderation of primary re
ceipts, together with reports of the ap
pearance of fly in Central Illinois also
combined to make the bear contingent
somewhat uneasy, but their pessimism
was too deep to attach much importance
to anything advanced by the bulls as
consequential, and, despite the efforts of
the agents of the elevator concern to
sustain the market, it was hammered
back to 75% c, at which it closed, %c un
der yesterday. Exporters reported seven
loads taken for export.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and
flour aggregate 465,000, while primary
receipts reported a total of 494,000 bu,
compared with 576,000 last year, Minne
apolis and Duluth : reported 252 cars,
against 351 last week and 530 a year ago.
Local receipts were sixty cars, four of
contract grade. .;..' . .
Business in the corn pit was on a fairly
liberal scale, with a full attendance of
the - regular specialists' arid a consider
able"contingent .from the wheat and the
provision pits. r. The market -eased • off
early under heavy ,pressure I from the
bear; leader and- selling by. the • crowd
in sympathy with the decline in wheat.
The persistent buying of another opera
tor, however, and the rally in wheat.
caused covering by shorts later and the
close was Arm. May sold between 41c
and 40^^40%c, and closed %c hierher at
40% c. -'Receipts were - 336 cars, eight of
contract grade. . .-"..:. . -*.i.,
.Transactions in the oats market were
fairly large, but the market as usual
found- Its motive in the actions of other
grains.,- Heavy -selling for the long ac
count market early and equally liberal
buying the latter part. May sold be
tween 25%@25%c ■ and 25% c and closed
unchanged at 25% c. Receipts were 195
cars. ;V,--. -,••.- ;-- - -. >-.••"; :■■--'
In. provisions the activity was chiefly
in lard, which was sold on a liberal scale
by a Milwaukee packing Concern. Pork
was also for sale from this source, and,
as the market received only scattered
support, prices declined and the close
was rather heavy. May pork sold be
tween $14.12% and $14.02%, "and closed 12% c
lower at $14.02%; May lard between $7.50
and ?74.42%©'7.45, closing 7%@10c down at
$7.4£%@7.45, and May ribs between $7.07%
and $7-5-7 „02%, with the close 5c depressed
at $7.02%. - • . r, -

The steel stocks were most acutely affect

CATTLE— butcher cattle of all
kinds are selling readily at prices steady
with last week's close. Common killing
steers continue to sell low and canners
are also selling steady at the heavy drop
of the last two weeks. In the stock and
-feeding division best quality feeders are
active at an advance of 10 cents over
last week. Fair to good feeders are sell
ing steady. Stock steers and stock and
feeding cows and heifers, of good quality,
are moving rapidly at fully steady prices.
The demand is also good for stock
calves at unchanged prices. The
common cattle are absolutely un
salable." An occasional sale of scrub stuff
is made, but there seems to be absolutely
-no demand for these off-colored cattle
even at low prices. A lot.of cattle are
rin the yards which owners would gladly
sell for $2, but they cannot even get a
bid on them. Much of this common
stuff will necessarily have to be carried
over into next week. At other points
they are practically giving the common
stuff away to get rid of it, and if it con-

financial cablegram says: Business on
the stock market here was somewhat im
proved today, not mUch, but the tone
was more cheerful on the Expectation of
easier money. The rumor, which is be
coming rather circumstantial now: that
the Boer general, Botha, has surrender
ed to Kitchener, sent' South. African
mines- up sharply. . There was no offi
cial confirmation of the report, however.
The American ! market . was remarkably
quiet. Erie securities were .firm on the
January statement which sanguine spec
ulators i here multiplied" by ;12 and made
the basis of talk of a 3% per cent divi

estimates and predictions seem to expect
a full, regular dividend on the first pre
ferred. '." Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
stocks were in good demand, believing
the dividend on common would be in
creased. The .upward tendency which
these leaders gave the American list was
checked when Wall street opened and
sent over selling orders for Union Pa
cific issues. New York's attitude caused
a general sagging of prices. . The conti
nent is not touching American stocks.
Attention across the channel has bee:*
diverted to mines. Gold to the . amount
of £10,000 has been engaged for export
to South America. £27,000 is coming in
from Scandinavian ports. The bank has
picked up £11,000 in bars in the street.
Money was firm at rates unchanged, hut
the market has been able to repay one
fifth of the sum due the bank.

tinues to pile up at South St. Paul we
may be forced to follow suit. Shippers
cannot buy- this stuff in the country
cheap enough to ship it in and make a
profit. Milch cows are in a little bet
ter demand and selling steady, to strong.
HOGS—Prices are on the down grade,
this week. Hogs today sold lower than
at any time for the past ten days.
Prices are fully 20 cents under the high
time last week.' - The bulk sold today at
$5.25, with a range of $5.22% to $5.32%,
and only very fancy hogs sold at $5.30
or better. * The run today was heavy
while receipts for the j week have been
erratic, light and heavy by turns. In
spite of the heavy drop our prices are
fully 7%@10 • cents better than other
Western, points.
SHEEP—Receipts have been light this,
week, with a good demand for all kinds.
Good quality fat sheep and lambs are
selling 10 cents higher. Other kinds are
fully steady. Fat stun! is selling as high
here as the prices being paid at Eastern
points. Very truly, - :"
