The receipts this week are about the same as last week, and thus far this year there is an Increase of over 6,000 compared with the same period last year There has been very Utile fluctuation In prices during the week, but the tendency has been toward a higher level, and there has been a good demand for the offerings at current prices. In fact, in a few Instances sales were considered lOfflfic higher for sheep, and the absence of any prime iambs was responsible for no extreme sales. During the week sheep sold as

high as $4 15 and lambs $5.59.

14,700,000 last year Locally, the market is somewhat congested. There Is a very small stock of contract corn here. Isrjae holdings are concentrated in the hands , of strong local operators, and there Is quite a large short Interest. The mod- j erate movement from farmers' hands. It Is thought, will soon be made smaller by the usual breaking up of the roads in the country.

Oats—May, 25%c; 1 lot el last Saturday at 25%c. The general tone of th? market Is steady and firm. The strength Is partially in sympathy with the advance in corn, but the movement of oats Is cnly moderate, and there is a fair shipping demand, and local stocks are In strong hands and not pressing on the market The vlsib’e supply Increased 361.003 bu*he>s. and Is now 10,260,90) bushels,

against 6.000,000 last year.

Provisions—The market Is practically unchanged from last week. The feature of the week has been the very heavy receipts of hogs, being at primary markets 423.000, against 333,0U) last year. Cash demand continues good, but the large movement of hogs has Induced some selling during the week by local holders and the general tone of the market is for that reason somewhat easier. The estimated stocks of provisions Is: Pork. 20,000 barrels; lard. 37.000 tierces, ribs. 17.500.000 pounds. Shipments: Meats. 1,480.000. against 1,825,000. Lard. 1,100.000 against 1,000.000.
