Hogs The receipt of hogs to-day -wore fairly good for a Saturday market, but alxut ne-third of the arrivals wer hogs billed through, and, therefore, te supply on sale was no better thaa might be expected nt this time in the week. The market oi-ned with a very fair demand from local rankers and shippers, ani, with an uncertainty as to what proportions the Inquiry would develop, there was rather active competition In some paits of the market at the tart anl sale were at ftmnz to 3c higher prices than eq:ial klr.ds sold yesterday. It was soon evident, however, that shipping; orders were not liberal and the bidding Immediately became easier. ubsenently transitions were no higher than at the c!o yesterday. and finally the bid ding necai.i verv weak, and buyers, belnz un- I able to get the concessions .they wanted, withdrew front the maifcet, leaving ft few loads unsold. Therefore, the developments were very tii.satisfactory arid, no doubt, very disappointing. Bales ranged frosn $5.1 3 to ?3.50, and the bulk of the supply sold at ft.ZVQoAQ.

Although the receipts of hogs this week are a little larger than last "week and, in fact, about aj large as might be expected at this season of the year, the Increase was not large , enough to hare affected prices materially under ordinary conditions. The market, however, was affected considerably by the developments in other places, ' and - local packers, having only fair opposition from outslie sources, .succeeded In reducing the " level 'tn prices considerably. At the beginning of the week values-were Sxigber and there was an increase in the demand for light hogs, which brought prices closer together than they have been for some time past, and, in fact, the good light and heavy grades " are, selling now nearer in the same notch than they have since the first week in January. The highest market was on Tuesday, when the good light hogs sold -about ' 10 'S 15c higher than the close of last week, and heavies strong to a shade " higher. In the next two days, however, the surroundings were entirely favorable to buyers and prices were reduced at the rate of lOßlöc per day, so that on Friday the average Indicated a loss of probably fully 25c compared with Tuesday, and a great many sales indicated a decline of 30c. There was very little change in the average at the extreme close of the week, and at that time prices were about 10320c lower than the close of last wetk. THE CATTLE MARKET. About the average number of cattle arrived for the closing market of the week, and, as usual on Saturday, all kinds were not represented. There were enough, however. In nearly all departments to test the market and, although there was no really urgent competition, a good . clearance was made on a basis of steady prices oompared with yesterday.

While In some departments the cattle market this week has improved, in others prices were lower and therefore the general situation has not been altogether satisfactory to the selling side. A weaker tendency developed in the steer market early ia the week and, although the supplies were . not excessive, prices suffered on account of a very. limited demand and poor competition. By the middle of the week all fat steers and particularly those that finally had to sell from $4.40 to $1.73 represented a decline of 20c In the average as compared with the best (rkes prevailing last week. Salesmen, however, finally succeeded in checking the decline, and the latter half of the week there was no further change in prices, but the trade continued of sraall volume, and it was more or ley difficult to consummate sales at prices as satisfactory as on Wrdnesday. There wa a good inquiry for feeding steers at the beginning of the week. but. suirfequently the market became weaker in syiapatny with the decline in prices of fat cattle and Anally at the clwbe of the week the outlet was exceedingly small and prices were probably lOo to 15c lower lUtn at the beginning or me ween. The proportion of good cows and heifers in the receipts this week has not been large, and with a continued strong demand from all local cource there has been an active trade and an uneven advance in prices. At tne extreme clone of the week heifers, speclall)', were no doubt sllinir 25c higher than the cloee of last week in many rates, but the average advance on the goTKt female butcher nLck for the week was conservatively estimated as 10c to 15c. Common to medium female cattlo, of course, did not how as n;uh improvement a the good one, but were quoted as hJgh at toe close or this week as at the close of la?t.

At the cl.e of t.s.e week the good kinds had gained to 73-?, and the extreme price at the cloe of ton wt-.-K was l higher than at the close of last week.

The story that has been told of . the Eheep and lamb market here fcr the past month is still appropriate. Tho receipts continue fo small that it is impossible to establish prices for any kind an'l therefore all that is said of the situation mut necessarily be more or less a matter of speculation. Just why there is no Incrtase In the receipts cannot be explained, but there is probably no doubt that the supplies this week were smaller bc,u:-e the facilities for transporting stock from country points has been grt-atly damaged by the Hoods. There were cot enough here any day to accommodate even a normal demand from local butchers and. of course, under, the circumstances there has been no quotable change or Improvement in values. All week the best lambs have been quoted as hUh as $3, but there were none arrived good enough to fetch over The bst h---p have been ratable as hih as II, but only odd bunches were good enough to bring the top price. The first pprlng lambs of the -season arrived ami pales ranged rrom $ to I '0.50, while to 4-lb kinds Fold usually at 'AiY). There were not enough fresh arrivals to-day to make a market, and therefore there is no chance to report in the situation compared with yesterday.

In a pamphlet recently issued by Eliot Norton there Is given an exhaustive account of the legal relations existing between a Stock Exchange broker and his customers in the matter of the purchase or sale of securities. The brochure deals only with transactions made outright, or. in other words, for investment, the question of dealings on margin not being considered at all. The omission puts aside one of the most Interesting aspects of the law. governing Stock Exchange transactions. Inasmuch as the questions Involved In transactions upon margin appear more intricate and are not as well understood generally as trading of the less usual but only possibly more legitimate character treated in Mr. Norton's pamphlet. In tne minds of many people there is a curious misconception In regaid to the relative risks incurred in buying on margin and buying outright. It is frequently asserted that a purchase made on margin, beslJes being nothing more than a gambling transaction, really exposes the participant to much more danger of loss than if the stock were paid for In full. For example, some see considerable difference in the position of a man who lought, say. Steel common at 50, and. after putting up margin several times, is wljed out when the stock has fallen to 10. and that of a man who bought at. the same price and paid in full still owning his stock when it has fallen from 50 to 10. As a matter of fact, apart from the question of interest on the unpaid balance in the margin transaction, the positions of the two men are Identical. By the time the stock has fallen to 10 one has a hundred shares worth $1.000 and the other has the $l.oo0 In cash, providing, of course, his capital was not limited to the money put up as margin, but in either event each man has lost $4.0"o. The Inclination to consider that there is any radical difference in the two positions arises from the fact thst many fall to see that a Ioks caused by the depreciation of 'securities owned is Just as real as losaes resulting from transactions on margin. The mere fact that one man has tfi.ken". his loss and the other has not d-e not change the fact thath is just so much poorer than he was at the time of the original purchase. New York Times.

A large decrease in world'3 shipments helped to cause firmness In wheat to-day, the close showing a net advance of c. Corn made a gain of lilaC. Oats are up and provisions 2'ic to Hhc. Be-foie trading began in the wheat pit news from across the sea was scant, owing to foreign exchanges being closed. About the only figures cf any consequence were those of Bradstreet's, showing small world's shipments of wheat and flour. Under the influence of the decreased movement, a firm tone prevailed at the opening, July being up He to c at S7c to SSc. The market became still stronger in sympathy with strength in corn and oats. Shorts who did not care to carry lines over Sunday coveted freely. Trices responded to the demand and advanced easily, July selling up to SSUc Great preponderance of shipments over receipts of wheat at St. Louis and Kansas City was also a bull factor. ' Receipts at the two points amounted to only 4S.0C0 bu and shipments to 263,000 bu. That feature of the situation, combined with the fact that everywhere throughout the winter wheat country millers were paying a premium on milling grain, aided In giving a strong undertone to the market. SENTIMENT TURNS BEARISH. Toward the latter part cf the session, however, sentiment temporarily changed to the bear side. A reaction had occurred In coarse grains, which Induced considerable selling of wheat. Private crop reports gave Indications of a fair yield, and this information brought out additional rales. Under this selling July declined to &7c. The market rallied again just before the close. a firm tone being manifested. Final figures on July .were at &'tS"c. May sold between 33ic and 9Cc, closing at Otilic. Clearances of wheat and Hour were equal to 231.700 bu. Primary receipts were 613.000 bu. against 411,700 bu a year ago. Exports of wheat and flour for the week, as shown by Bradatreet's, were 1.2C7.0OO bu. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 470 cars, against 220 cars last week and 239 cars a year a?o. ARMOUR STILL BUYING COHN. Sentiment in the corn pit was bullish, due. to renewed purchases by Armour. Smaller re ceipts and an improvement In the cash demand were additional 'factors. During the early part of the session offerings were comparatively light. but late in the day considerable long corn came out from small traders, causing a recession from the high point. Offerings were well' take-n. however, and the undertone continued strong. July opened i'q'sC higher at iZ2c. sold between 53lift53'c and 54c and closed at J-c. Local receipts were 234 cars OATS SHORTS COVER. The feature in trading In oats was covering by local shorts. Offerings were not large and a firm tone prevailed. Small receipts and an ex cellent demand were supporting Influences. After opening 8c higher at i'J',ic, July sold between 3'Jc and 40c, closing at 3vic. Local receipts were 1J7 cars. EAST BUYS FORK. Provisions were strong on an active demand for all products. The Interest of trading centered in pork, there being heavy buying in that product credited to Eastern traders. A small run of hogs and an advance of 10c to 13c in the prices at yards were early bull factors, while the strength In corn was an influence later in the day. Market closed strong, with July pork up 17VbC at $13.32,2; July laid closed 2ifJ5c higher at J7.17li:7.20; ribs were up 2'c at $7.10.

In the small talk of Wall street there have of late been many references to the somewhat amusing outcome of the deep-laid plan to wrest control of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company from the hands of the men who had formed the company and transfer It to individuals who were thougnt to be more familiar with the ways of Wall street, and who probably were, but who on this occasion were beaten at thlr own game. The Incident seems to be one that shows that in Wall street evt-u the Initiated are not afe from disappointment, aud that the proverbial Lamb is by no means the only loser. It Is current gossip that when the pool broke up and each man began t -look out . for hims.-if only, one member of the combination got out whole. It is said that the losses of the others followed in amount the order In which "they drew from the Greene copper market, - leaving the original owners still in control, and ran from $10u.o to over $70).0f).
