Motors and their specialties, oils, steels and equipments were among the more active issues. Shippings, tails and utilities, notably gas and local traction stocks, also recorded variable advances. Foremost among specialties were the food and chemical issues. Settlement of week-end contracts contributed to the irregular close. Sales approximated 410.000 shares.

—April 17— Without the help of the principal local packer there waa an active market for hogs at the week-end. and prices were fully as high aa for most of the sales of the day before- No business was as high as the top price on Friday, 117.25, but a few loads of selected light hogs brought ftlft.SS. 10 cents more than w'as paid after the opening sales on Friday, and there was teas business at 910-50. A large part of the supply was of hogs weighing iesa than 250 pounds, and most of the offerings averaged less than 225 pounds that sold at $19.75. the predominating price for that sort on Friday. Heavier kinds sold largely at 119.50. steady with the preceding market, and none of the offerings was so heavy as to justify a greater discount from the price of light hogs. Strong weight pigs sold up to $19.50. but lighter kinds from $19.00 down, and the market for sows was strong with the best at $13.25 and others largely $13.00 down. There was one late aaie of light hogs at $17.00, the top price. lk>cal interests took about 1.000 hogs and the rest of the supply of a.000 hogs. Including 2.000 layovers, went to outside account. On account of the impaired transportation facilities the receipts of hogs this week. 11.000. were 29.000 smaller than last week and 37.000 smaller than a year ago. The demand necessarily was spasmodic and prices not uniform. There were wide fluctuations In the same day. Local packer* refused to follow skyrocket advances and were probably responsible for holding prices on a level with competitive markets. Throughout the week there was a limited showing of extremely heavy hogs that formerly sold at a great discount from the prevailing price of light hogs, and there was less spread In sales than for a long time. In a period of seven market days, ending Saturday, the lowest sale of heavy hogs was $15.00 dn Tuesday, and the highest for light hog*. $17.40 on Thursday. The same kind of hogs sold at $19.60 to $19.75 on the final day this week sold at $19.25 to $19.75 on Friday of last week, and the top price then and now was $17.00. The receipts of hogs at eleven markets this week were 222.000. against 470.000 last week. 594,000 a year ago and 953.000 two years ago.

More Vegetables Arrive

Shipments of fruits and vegetables are more frequent'and dealers* receive commodities with much greater regularity as a result of the better strike conditions. Heavy receipts of Texas spinach have reduced the price to $1.25 to $1.50 a bushel. Two cars arrived Friday. Prices for commodities in Commission Row have not been advanced to any general extent since the strike, dealers not taking advantage of the Situation. Potatoes hold at $11.50 to $12.00 a bag of 150 pounds. A few cars of potatoes came in

Even under normal condition* the Saturday run of *00 cattle would have been four time* as large aa usual. The result was lower prices, encouraged by the absence of some of the important local buyers. The only demand for steers was from outside interests and that at a decline of 5ftc. Bids from other buyers wer* $1 lower and sellers locked up loads of steers for future sale. The demand for heifers and cows was not as keen as it has been, but practically equal to the supply, and Anally most of the supply of females went over the scales at prices a trirte lower than on Friday. The general sales of calves from $19.00 down were $1.00 lower and late arrivals could not be sold on that basis. Feeding cattle were steady. The highest prices of the year to date were obtained for some of the cattle this week. The advance of $1.50 or more in prices compared with Anal sales last week was primarily the result of the depleted supplies and to the aggressive buying of outside as well as local interests Outside buyers paid up to $15.00 for steers and a local packer paid the same price for yearling steers and heifers. Cows »old as high as $12.00 and bolls up to $10.56. There was a reaction in prices at the close of the week, but finally most of the cattle that go into drwattd beef were 50c to $1.0o\igher than they were at the high time at w n x"Ss° f we * k There Ttn °, nlr her* this week. 6.000 less than last week and 3.000 less than a year ago.

CHICAGO. April 17.—Weakness developed In the corn market today chiefly owing to prospects of a speedy end of the railway strike. With improved traffic conditions, larger receipts were looked for. Excellent weather counted also as a bearish factor. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to t%c lower, with May $1.68% to $1.69% and July $1.63% to $1.64. were followed by moderate rallies, but then by a fresh decline. During the last part of the session an upturn took place in connection with week-end adjustment of trades. The close was firm at the same as yesterday's finish to %c higher . Oats were weak with corn and as a result of continued talk of re-sell-ing of oats on the part of foreigners. After opening unchanged to %e lower, including July at 87%c to 87%c. the market underwent an additional flag before beginning to react. Provisions declined with grain. Firmness in hog values had only a transient effect.

High Wheat Prices Lead Grain to New Advances

CHICAGO. April 17.—Extraordinlry high prices for wheat have stimulated brisk new advances this week in the corn market. Compared with a week ago. corn quotations this morning ranged from 2%ft4%c up, oats showed gains of l%ft3%e. and provisions rose varying from 17c to $1.50 Although at time* the measures taken to bring the railway strike to an end led to sharp setbacks in the corn market, the dominating factor on the whole was wheat at $3.00 and upward a bushel. This influence was ascribed in turn to sudden expansion of European demand for breadstuffs. a circumstance due partly to likelihood of lessened production of wheat in the United States this year, and partly to chances that India. Australia ami Argentina might declare embargoes against the exportation of wheat. The upward strain of the rom market, was partly relieved, however. by big resale# of oats which had been purchased for France. A motive for reselling waa said to be to provide increased vessel room for wheat and rye Oats, sympathising with corn, jumped to new high price records for the season, and then reacted somewhat Provisions reflected the grain advance and the semi-monthly warehouse report indicating no burdensome new increase of stocks.

Thomson A McKinnon's Market Letter. —April 17. Corn—Persistent irritation carries with it a certain degree of immunity. The aoarce of irritation in the corn market, namely, tight receipt* still exists, but the deferred dettveriea seem not aa responsive to foie condition aa heretofore. Market's action is irregular and wjU probably so remain pending a more free diatribntion. It is expected or at least hoped that foe railroads will be able to dean up accumulation# on tracks during the next week. Any increase in re ertpts is likely to meet a rather alow demand. as there have been no new sales for shipment east fro some time past. It la admitted that there is no weakness m the present cash situation, neither in the market itself. At the same time there are some indications that conditions may change in favor of lower prices. Oats—Sentiment in oats is not as unanimous as during the week. Those who persist in their belief of higher prices depend largely upon the lateness of the season and forecast of unsettled weather over Sunday. We view this market as we do the corn m that we acknowledge the strength in the cash situation as now existing, bkewise the lateness of the season, but it occur# to u# that prices have made ronsiderabie response to these factor*. Provisions—It is believed that the settlement of the strike will increase receipts of hog* to a sufficient extent to affect provision#. There is a little more friendliness displayed in this market on the belief that lard is cheap, but there is no clearly defined evidence of any improved OmmoA. Stock*—Tbere was a moderate demand fro stocks early, bat the busings was generally light, the traders a# a rule acting cautious and were inclined to await the weekly bank statement fro a cue to next week s operations. New# generally could be called reaeonably favorable The railroad strike is practically broken but the influences back of the strike are by no means eliminated aa a factor and we can reasonably a*k the question where and when the next disturbance is to materialize. Tbere is just a likelihood that extreme stringency in the money market has been relieved If ao we may anticipate a favorable response in the stock market but we must bear in mind that any relief will be temporary, that we wiB have frequent occurence of money flurry and fro that reason every action of accounts at every favorable opportunity. Cotton—We have established new high records again in cotton. The public baa. again taken an interest in the cotton market and that means a great deal The incentive is to be found not only in the poor reports from the south but also a continuation of very bullish report# from trade renters. Then we have the constant fear of labor shortage in the south. There was some profit taking during the early part of the session, but we see no real change and the trend still seems upward.

Railroad Strike Reduces Chance for Lower Prices

NEW YORK. April 17.—Dun’s review says: General inconvenience and no inconsiderable loss to business have raaultad from the railroad walkout#, and some time must necessarily elapae even with an early adjustment of the labor troubles before the deleterious effects will be wholly eliminated. With transportation disorganized and movements of raw materials seriously impeded if not entirely suspended, shutdown* at many manufacturing plants have been unavoidable and last month's more favorable production results can not be repeated in April. While consumption of goods is also diminished, and though unemployment in various industries curtails the public purchasing power, yet the strikes have reduced available supplies of different commodities, and some prices, as Dun’s list demonstrates, have risen sharply. Such a tendency has appeared at a time when more is being beard of resistance to the extreme prices, and when many dealer*, in planning for the future, are confronted with a manifest change in the buying disposition of consumer*. not a few of whom are turning away from extravagance In peraonai expenditure# and are becoming more discriminating in their selections of merchandise Weekly bank clearance# were $8,317,232,680.
