Most of the hogs averaged less than 275 pounds and sold at sl.V*to $15.85, but there were several selected light hogs sold on up to sl6. The “gs weighing 275 to 300 pounds were listed to sell at $14.75, and the heaviest porkers at $14.50. There was a steady market for pigs with the best sort at sls. and sows were also steady from sl3 down. The marketing of hogs continues about normal for this time in the year and there is a continued sentiment among buyers that prices will lie lower before they are much higher, while sellers and owners present an opposite view. Cattle. According to the estimates of most tradirs there was little change In the prevailing prices for a run of only 1,200 cattle on the Wednesday market. Apparently there was a lower trend in the marke%for steers, especially the medium kinds, but the supply was too sroull to give buyers an effective advantage In arranging prices. There seemed to be no doubt that the market for heifers and cows was steady and it also ap pea red that there were no more she cattle than necessary. The best veal calves again sold at sl9. and others were steady compared with Tuesday’s prices. Feeding cattle were steady. Sheep. The receipts of 500 sheep and lambs were larger than usual, but fortunately the offerings Included 3(X> or more west eru lambs that attracted the attention of more buyers and sold at fully steady prices. More than ‘JO sold at $19.50, and another deck brought sl9 25. Na tlve laftbs are salable us high as $18.50, and native ewes as high as sit.

| Today’s Market Gossip j Wichita wires. “Good showers all over the southwest wDere needed.’’ Kansas City wires: “Our stocks corn incretsing every day for two weeks, now have 378,000 bushels. Seaboard reports cancellations of one million bushels oats the last two days account inability securing shipment from the west. Seaboard is a good buyer of cash rye. Minneapolis wires: “Cash wheat slow and unchanged. Corn neglected, no bids in the market Oats firm, 5%@6%c over May. Rye relatively %c better, good export demand. Barley quiet, unchanged. Stock letter by wire says: “From our advices we find that the'credit and money situation is practically unchanged. For this reason can not expect a rapid advance and a market with a strong upward tendency at this time. Therefore, profits should not be overlooked on turns and long lines should be properly protected on the upturn by a reduction in the amount as carried. Sugar Cos.

WINTER GRAINS HIT BY COLD Absence of Snow Proves Injurious to Crops. Winter grains and grasses suffered from the severe cold weather -of the last week, according to the summary ot weather and crop conditions issued today bv the local office of the United States weather bureau. The report says: “Except on Wednesday and Thursday, which were mild, the week was marked by severely cold weather, with temperatures in many places near zero. The deficiency for the entire period was about 8 degrees. General rains on Thursday changed to snow during the following night on the approach of a cold wave, and the ground froze solidly by Saturday. While snow flurries were frequent thereafter till Sunday, there was only a very little snow cover on the fields, and that was not general. Asa consequence, winter grains and grasses undoubtedly suffered further deterioration. “In a few of the west-central 001aties it is reported that some wheat may be abandoned. A fair amount of maple syrup was made during the earlier days of the weak, os the mild weather was favorable for the flow of sap, but the cold wave stopped the flow, and in some north-central counties camps were closed for the season. “Only farm activities usual to winter were carried on. as a rule, as very little work of the early spring season w-as possible because of the cold. “The ruins of Thursday softened dirt roads, which froze very rough on Friday and have continued so; but pikes and other, improved roads generally are fair. Uonsiderahle grading was done during t.be warm days of the first part of the week.’’
