Cattle Receipts. 1,100; shipmcnte, C00. The marketing of cattle continues comparatively liberal, the receipts thus far this week showing a gain of over tXO compared with the same time last week and 1,3.) over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were fairly liberal, Indicating a little Improvement over a week ago and an increase of about 250 over a jear ago. The quality generally was equal to the average heretofore this week, and there were a few strictly top klnd3 represented, especially among the female cattle. The proportion of choice fat stock was not large, and with a steady demand for that class salesmen succeeded In maintaining fully steady prices compared with yesterday. Medium grades of cattle, however, were more difficult to sell and generally considered weaker, and common stock, no doubt, was lower. The demand for fleshy feeders of good quality was steady at former prices, but the ordinary stockers moved very slowly and prices were unsatisfactory compared wdth those prevailing a short time ago. At a late hour practically all of the choice stock had been sold. Quotations: Good to choice steers, 1,23) lbs and upwards $6.C5g 6.73 Plain fat steers, 1,330 lbs and upwards $t'.00ip 6.50 Good to choice 1.200 to 1,300-lb steers 6.00 G.;0 riain fat 1.200 to 1.3cO-Ib steers 5.031t 6.13 Good to choice 1,00 to 1, 1.10-1 b steers Z.'Siif Plain fat 1,000 to 1,150-ln Fteers 4.73'a 5.30 Choice feeding steers, 1,000 to 1,100 lbs 4.75T 5.C0 Good feeding steers, 900 to 1,100 lbs 4.23 4.73 Medium feeding steers, 800 to 10 lbs 2.73t? 4.15 Common to good stockers C.'jrr 4.."0 Good to choice heifers 4.75'a 5.73 Fair to medium heifers 4.23'ii 4.r Common light heifers Z.ont 4.23 Good to choice cows 4.50 5.30 Fair to medium cows C.2öt 4.C3 Common old cows 1.50U 3.

Combined receipts of hogs for five days show an Increase of over 1,000 compared with the same time lasr week and a decrease of over 4,0u0 compared with the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were the largest of the week thus far, and show a little improvement over last Friday, but were not quite as large as a year ago. There were not many strictly top heavy hogs represented, but the quality for an average compared favorably with yesterday. The market opened with rather active competition for th good weinht hogs of good quality, and higher prices than yesterday were realized for that class. There were very few shipping ordrs for the lighter grades, however, and with limited competition packers, of course, were Inclined to hold prices down, and not a few salesmen claimed they were unable to get any advantage over yesterday. Reluctance In accepting prices offered caused a very quiet market toward the close. Sales ranged from $6.30 to Jo.CO, and a small part of the supply sold below JS.50. Quotations: Good to choice medium and heavy.? j.70760 Mixed and heavy packing 6.30ft1.fcO Good to choice light weights 6.43iC65 Common to fair light weights 6.3036.40 Common to good pigs 5.40f7 6.40 Roughs 6.00'ti6.35 Sheep Receipts. 400; shipments, 20ft. Thus far this week the receipts of sheep and lambs exhibit a decrease of over 500 compared with the same time last week and an increase of about 6"0 over the corresponding time a year ago The receipts today were 230 larger than a week ago and over S) larger than a year ago. The supply was large enough to Invite all buyers into the market, and with rather a better demand than heretofore this week there was more animation In . the bidding, and sales were usually at more satisfactory prices than yesterday. It appears from representative sales that sheep showed more strength than lambs. Rather active competition developed between shippers and local butchers, and the result was an early clearance at opening prices. Lambs sold as high as $i.50; other sales ranged from 54.75 to $6.25, and culls to best sheep sold from 52.50 to 55.50, with bucks at 53.50?j5 3.75.

Sales were promptly recorded, the offerings going to local dealers. Prices ruled steady on all kinds at yesterday's quotations. The strongest call is for fat cows and heifers, the fair to choice grades ranging from 51.30 to 53.25. Good veal calves sell generally around l?, but something fancy sells as high as 57.

RAIN ON THE STREETS

IT INTERFERES SOMEWHAT WITH LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE. Commission Merchants, However, Have a Very Good Day Increased Green Stuff Receipts. Rain Interfered somewhat with trade yesterday, but It being Friday it was a busy day on Commission row. Retail merchants were stocking up for Saturay's trade, and the market men as well. Receipts of green stuff, including vegetables, were quite large and prices have declined to such figures that the consumption is largely increased. In the fruit line prices are still very strong. A few apples arc selling, but dried fruits and canned goods are taking the place of apples largely. The higher price of oranges docs not increase the price at retail, as merchants have been making a good profit on this Una of fruit. Bananas are in good supply and prices are steady. Strawberries are coming in from the Suth quite freely, but still are selling at luxury prices and will rule high until fruit of nearer growth Is on tjie market. Irish potatoes still rule high. Receipts have not increased to the extent expected with the coming of mild weather, but prices are not as firm as a week ago. Provisions aro in good request, especially hams and smoked meats. It being so near the close of the week the dry goods houses were not so busy as on preceding days. Leather and hides are the only exceptions to a good trade report. Both are dull, and prices on hides are weak at the present low quotations. The produce market Is an active one. Receipts of eggs are large and prices are weak; still, with the large receipts, consumption Is so increasing that there is but little accumulation of stocks. Choice butter is in good request, with receipts about equal to the demand. Poultry Is a fast seller, if choice. Receipts are light, as compared with former years and this enables dealers to hold prices rirm; but In the three lines lower prices next week will not be a surprise. Seed merchants are very busy and prices in all lines, with the active demand, are steady and firm. There is nothing new to note in other lines. Grain Markets. It being Good Friday the Journal is without Its usual grain quotations. On the wagon market much the same conditions prevailed as on Thursday, with prices ranging as follows: Corn 7(5 70c per bu.

OIL FIELD IS BOOMING LARGE IXCREASH IX NEW OPE RATIONS IX THE STATE. I'nnsnnl Groivth of Xew ProductionGrant County Activity Monthly Statistical Comparisons. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER, Ind., March .-Operations are becoming more active In the "Greater Indiana" oil field. For the month of March there were 225 wells completed, with a new dally production of 3,510 barrels, or an average per well per day of lSli barrels. There were thirty-six failures to find oil, but most of these proved gas producers. This is an increase in completed wells over the February repoit of sixteen, and in new production there is the phenomenal increase of 100 barrels. In failures there arc only two more. There is also a notable Increase in the new work under way. There are nine more drilling wells, and thirteen more rigs up at the close of business for the present month than there were at the close of February. There are 19S wells drilling and eighty-three rigs. The production of oil in the Indiana field is gradually Increasing, and the pipe-line reports for March, when published, will show a dally average of close to 10.000 barrels. This is half as much oil as the Ohio oil field produces from more than double the number of wells. It Is predicted by well-informed oil men that the Indiana field wouLd be producing equally as much of the crude product as Is northwestern Ohio were it not for the stringent gas waste laws. One of the best wells in the Trenton rock field at the present time is No. 11, on the Studebaker farm in Blue Creek township, Adams county, as the latest report from It is that It Is doinif close to UJ0 barrels a day. The pool to the northeast of Muncle In Delaware and Randolph counties is attracting considerable attention, and many new locations for wells have been made there. Hartford City In al?o enjoying renewed activity, and a few dry holes does not frighten the trade to any great extent, but they are pushing the drill. At Elwood town lots are in demand since oil has leen found there In paying quantities, but It Is hoped that the pool will not develop into one similar to the one at Peru a few years ago. The greatest activity is centered at Van Peiren and Marion, in Grant county. There are eighty-two wells drilling in that county alone, and it is ad active a? any of the Ohio oil counties.
