A run of only 1.000 cattle, against nearly 1,800 a week ago and a total of 3,400 In three days against 4.250 the same time last week and 4,400 a year ago. were designated as the principal factors contributing to an active market on Wednesday and an uneven advance in prices of cattle for slaughter.

forced lower than *11.00. in fact, not many lower than *11.50. There waa a corresponding advance in prices of the female butcher cattle and sales of heifers were more numerous up to *13.04. There were also more sales of cows up to *11.00. A part of the Tuesday loss in prices of bulls was recovered. There were a few early sales of the best veal calves at 115.00 but not many reached 114.00 and finally It was difficult to obtain $14.00 for the top kinds. The decline was attributed to dilapidated eastern markets and a curtailed demand from the Yankee patrons of

this market.

COTTON FUTURES BREAK.

Caused by Southern Selling and New York Pressure Weather Improves. NEW YORK. April 28—Reports of improving weather conditions in the south led to considerable selling in the cotton market during today’s early trading. The opening was 5 points lower on May. which was influeaoed by the circulation of a few notice*, but later months were 1 to 12 points high er on overnight buying orders. Liverpool was a good seller here, however, while there was southern selling and local pressure became more active after the call with active months breaking 15 to 30 points from last night’s closing. Near months were relatively easy and July sold down to 38 30c while October declined to 83.61c. The market became slightly steadier later on covering la anticipation of a bullish

tly weather

to^MU&jc and October to^SSTSo/^The

port, however, indicated that there has been better progress with cotton planting and proved a disappointment to recent buyers

with the result that there was a sharp break la prices. Selling was active and general with July easing off to 38.23c and October lb 35 18c within a few minutes after the report was issued, or 37 to 64 points net The break extended to 38.15c far July and 85.15c for October during the early after, noon, or 45 point* to 66 points net lower, under continued liquidation and Wall street selling promoted by the weakness in the stock market. Trading then became lees active and there were rallies of a few points

from the lowest.

A summary of weather and crop ronditiona in Indiana for the week ending Tuesday. by t. H. Armington. of the Indtoaapolia weather bureau, to a* follows: White moderate teniprrature* prevailed from Wedmeday to Friday, the tori four day* were very cool, and th* week averaged a. little below normal in temperature. Heavy rains fell Wednesday, which with the excesaivs precipitation of the previous week, flooded many bottom lands in all part* of the state, with consequent damage. and rendered the ground too wet to work. Sunshine wa# considerably below average for the season. Friday being the only bright, sunshiny, drying day during the period. As a result, plowing and seeding were further delayed and some heavy soils will now require a week or more of dry weather before working. Wheat made some improvement, especially in good fields, which are beginning in many localities to stool out. but as a rule th# crop

ranges from poor to fair progress, as did clovers

though 1

_ made better SM gr—Ms. ai-

actuai growth was slow.

A few reports show stuns oats rotting in the ground, but many fields are up and looking well. Seeding, however, is finished in only

a small number of localities.
