INDIANAPOLIS, 'April 11 Cattle Receipts, 130; shipments none. The receipts of cattle this week exhibit a de crease of about 100 compared with last week. but an Increase of over 100 over the same week a year ago and 200 over the corresponding week two years ago. The receipts. thus far tttls year are over 5.300 smaller than the same time last year and the receipts for the month thus far are CO smaller than the same period last year. The conditions In the market this v eek have -been almost completely reversed compared with those prevailing for several weeks. It has been . decidedly a seller's market and the results from their point cf view have been entirely satis factory. The good conditions, however, to some extent were due tö the good Judgment of shippers In preventing excessive receipts. -Just about enough cattle have come to accommodate the urgent demand of buyers and they were forced to follow a good strong upward movement in , values. At the beginning of the week they followed the advance rather freely, probably with the hope of increasing the receipts, but at the close of the week they were protesting against the continued upward movement and Intimated that they expected more liberal supplies In the near future. In a general way the good to best steers gained at least 23c In prices, but there Is no doubt that occasionally there was from 33c ;to 10c advance. There was also a good strong market for the good to choice cows and heifers at 10c to ZZo gain In values. The feeder market turned out better than expected and with very moderate receipts the demand at the extreme . close of the week was strong and sales were at prices fully as high as those current at any time heretofore this year. The market for eom.roon to medium cattle of all kinds did not show the Improvement that other grades did. but of . course were stronger In itidmoit tv,- ,i.ka sales this week, were 13.40 for fat steers. 14.90 for feeders. S3 for heifers, tt.75 for cows. St for bulls and $7.25 for calves. The receipts to-day were small and as usual on Saturday all kinds were not represented.

Notwlth. standing the very unatiaiactory condition of affaire this week tn receipts or nogs nave been comparatively liberal, showing a gain of over LOOO compared with last week, about 4.000 com. pared with the same week a year iro and a decrease of nearly 3.000 compared with the corre- . aponaing week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are a little over 8, 00 maller than the same time last year and the receipts tor the month thus far are Just a little larger ' than the same period a year ago. For the week endinr yesteHay the lealinr local packers bought a total of 7.824. against ll.W) tli preceding week and 7,218 the same week a year ago. During the same pert'jd the shipments were 4.83. against 4.4&J th preceding week and 1,M the correspondlr.g k a year ago. The week opened 'ssua a tilg iit reaction in prices comoaxed

with the clone of lat week, but this was followed by an advance which by Wednesday amounted to an average of about Vk com

pared rlth the close or last ween, ine omy thing contributing to the strength of the market was a reasonably gooa aeman.i rrom ouijijb sources. - Local packers from the beginning of the week pursued the dilatory tactics that nave characterized their buying In the part, anl as a re.ult the clow of each day was lower than the opening. In the face of the unfavorable situation the receipts toward the close ot the week: were Increased and there wat a falling on In the demand from outside sources. This put the market practically In the packers hands. and the results were probably the most unsatis factory of the season, ahies "tarted on a downward course Thursday morning and were reduced rapidly to the close of the week, wnen sales were on a basis of 20c lower than Wednesday and 20c lwer than the close of last week. While the condition of the trade has been very displeasing to salesmen It has not been altogether agreeable to buyers. anl packers especially deserve some credit for taking as many hogs as they dM. since it is a ract tnai tney have been unable to sell the dressed meat except at a loss. Of course, it would hardly be natural for the same conditions to continue any great length of time, but there was certainly nothing favorable In the developments at the extreme close of thlü week ana very mue confidence is being placed in the near future market. The top price at the beginning of this week was $7.r. at the high time J7.6' and at the close $7.20. The receipts to-day ordinarily would not be considered excessive, but on account of recent developments there were fully as many as expected, and. In fact, a larger supply than a week ago or a year ago. The market opened with practlcallr no demand from any source, and It was evident from the start that salesmen would have another mmcuii proDiem 10 soive. In the first hour practically nothing changed han5s, but later a few loads were being sold. Parkers who seemed to be leading the buying were reoulring reductions of 10c to 13c tn prices compared wun jiriu4' vuar, m. nunc salesmen were very reluctant In accepting such figures there was no other outlet and most transactions indicated that much change. Shippers wr alo buTlng a few loads now and then. but It was evident that the supply was ample to meet all of the requirements and the trading was very dull. Rather late In the day a few" shipping orders for heavy hogs airived and were everuted at current prices, but they rave very little .If anr. strength to the market.

Occasionally, however, such kinds were more or less inclined to weaknesssuch conditions usually being sympathetic, with a weaker market for lower grades. Most of the week the receipts were not much in excess of the requirements of local butchers and the tearir condition or anairs was principally aue to that fact. There was hardly a day In the week that the best yearling lambs could cot be sold at $737.25 and the best sneep usually sold around $5. Toward the close of the week. In harmonv with otner markets, mere was a oeri.led change in the market here for medium stock and especially the yearling iambs below top kinds. Bids in many cases were over ii per 100 lb lower, but salesmen nnauy succeeded m transferring the consignments at a decline of from 50c to $1 below former prices. The history nf the snrlnar lamb market is not unusual, as It Is generally Known mat prices oi mis ciass or tnrk decline very rapidly as the season ad vances. At the beginning of this week the best spring lambs were selling around 120 per lb, whila at the close So was the extreme price. The receipts to-day, as usual on Saturday, were small and tnere were no new developments in the market. Butchers wanted practically all of the supply and they took them usually at steady prices compared with yesterday.

WILD SESSION IN WHEAT

AllSIOrirS EFFORT TO US LOAD CAl'SES A TIIHEE-CEXT BREAK. Removal of Selling Pressure Steadies the Market Other Grains and IIogT Products Hold Fairly SteadyCHICAGO, April lL-The wheat pit was the center of attraction on the Board of Trade to-day, and as a result of tho manip ulation which had been in progress the past week the May option declined 3c and July ZVzC but rallied later. May closing ;Qc lower, with July down lic Corn closed a shade higher, with oats unchanged, while provisions were from 2c lower to 12c higher. There was wild excitement In the wheat pit at the start, and every broker appeared to have buying- orders, the general impresilon being that the Armour people were going to send the price still higher. The leader of the bulls was a fair buyer at the opening, and with a big demand from shorts the price of May advanced to 77c, after opening a shade lower, to Sc higher, at 76U76Tic, while July advanced to 72c, after opening at 71c to 72Uc. This appeared to be exactly what tho Armour Interests were waiting for, and with a big demand for both the May and July deliveries" the big bull turned seller, hoping to be able to dispose of most of his holdings at a good profit. The change in tactics, however, was quickly noticed by the watch ful crowd, and the selling became general, so much so that the price broke sharply, May selling off to 74&c and July to 63T4c The break In prices was the signal for a let-up In the selling pressure on the part of the prominent long, and with this interest out of the deal the market became quieter. A fair demand from commission houses and shorts soon brought about a partial rally, and the market was quite steady the remainder of the session. May closed &T4c lower, at 75c. July was off lc, at 70870c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 768,000 bu. Primary receipts were 600,000 bu (two days), against 236,000 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 393 cars, which, with local receipts of 49 cars none of contract grade made a total of 442 cars, against 2Z'J last week and 18G a year ago. There was little Interest in corn, and the trading was dull and featureless. Commission houses sold July, but there was enough demand from scalpers and brokers to prevent a serious decline. The break in wheat had little effect, and the close was steady, with May a shade higher, at 42c. Receipts were 1SS cars, none of contract grade. Oats were easy at the start, due to liqui dation by leading longs, but covering by shorts caused a Armer feeling. The volume of trade was small. May closed unchanged at 32Vi32c, after selling betwsen 32ftc and szdi-Tic. Receipts were 2C1 cars There was a fair demand for lard and libs throughout the day. which tended to maintain a steady undertone in provisions, although pork was weak on selling by com mission houses. .May pork closed 2&c lower at 17.62, lard a shade higher at 9.S5(9.87V3 and ribs izvsc higher at sy.sra.

One Item disbursed by the subtreasury on Thursday was $479,000, repre senting a treasury warrant for the payment of advances made by the State of New Jersey to the government in the civil war. Disbursements for the account of transportation of the malls and also for premiums on refunded bonds was large on Friday. The bank statement must, there fore, have been made on rising averages for cash, and, consequently, the banks were in better condition at the end of the week than was shown by the statement. Loans were reduced during the week by $1.205.400. making $17,429,200 since the maximum was recorded on Feb. 2L Specie increased $SC8,500. while legal tenders fell off $180,900, making the net gain of cash $027,600, as above noted. The deposits decreased $3,931,500. a total reduction in this item, since Feb. 21. of $78,388,500. The required reserve of 25 per cent, in cash against aeposits was de creased $9S2.S75. which sum, added to the gain in cash, made $1,610,475 as the increase in surplus reserve, carrying this item to $3.471,300; a year ago It was $4,571,750, and at the corresponding date in 19U1 it was J7.938. 200. Calculated on the basis of deposits less $37.277.900 of public funds, the ßurplus re serve is $13.000,775. The excess of loans over deposits Increased J2.726.100 last week, and this excess now is $17,948,700. "The detailed statement of the banks rhows that the Seventh National, which has been merged with the Mercantile Na tional. was dropped from the list last week. The assets of the bank were taken over and added to those of the Mercantile, and. therefore, the total of these items, as shown by the reports of all the banks, were changed $4,087,000, the difference between the increase in cash reported by the Mercantile last week, less the cash reported by the Seventh isationai in tne previous week. The loans of the Mercantile last week showed an Increase of $5,863.000; In the pre vious weeK tne eevenin national had 16. 716,700. The deposits of the Mercantile last week gained $6,000,300; those of the Seventh in the previous wees were $6,715.700.

Druggists had a busy week. It is said there never has been a season Jn which the Improvement In linseed oil, paint, turpentine and kindred articles has been as heavy as durlnjr the last thirty days, and in the regular drug and patent medicine line they ere very busy.
