MRS. HEN GOES ' ON A STRIKE

ON ACCOUNT OF THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN WEATHER. During the Past Few Days the Price Has Been Exceptionally Low, bat a Rise of Two or Three Cents -on the Dozen is Predicted. , It is Thought That They Will be Selling , For 18 Cents by Monday. The Wayne county hen and the weather man have had a falling out with the result that an . advance in eggs from 2 to 3 cents is predicted by the first of next week. Mrs. Hen is on a strike because of the cold snap and refuses to lay. ; - During the past ten days eggs have been at a low ebb price, 15 cents per dozen, almost unprecedented for this reason of the year and in consequence eggs were available to all classes of people and the demand was great and still continues. Eggs rre not as plentiful now as they were and it will be impossible for the retailers to sell them at the present market price. It is predicted that they will jump from 15 to 17 or 18 cents by Monday next at ihe latest. , COUNTRY PRODUCE. . (Paid by the Bee Hive Grocery.) Butter.

Shorts in Wheat Are Still a Little : Nervous; Moved to Action by Ca- , bles and Smaller Receipts Grain . Prices Firm. j : a r Chicago, March 15. The wheat market opened firm on an active demand from shorts. The shorts were moved to action by firm cables and reports of decreased receipts in the Northwest, May wheat opened at an advance of c, and sold up to 77i4(ft77e, Slow Movement of Corn. The com market "ws firm, despite reports of lower juices abroad. Small local receipts and the slow movement of the crop were the causes of the strength shown by the mrket. May opened y8c higher, and advanced to 43 Vic There was a good trade in oats, shorts and commission houses being the principal biryers. The provisions market was firm, but exceedingly quiet.

The Live Stock Reports Favored the : Buying Side; Local Receipts Small and Shippers ' Took Them Cattle Market Irregular. Indianapolis, March 15. Receipts 2,500 hogs, 1,200 cattle and 50 sheep, against 4,S97 hogs, 1,173 cattle and 24 she;p a week ago and 3,340 hogs, 1,133 cattle and 45 sheep a year ago. The hog market closed with prices 5e off from the high times yesterday. Receipts were smaller than the trade had anticipated. Early trading found a light run on hand. Traders were

bearish. Outside reports favored the buying side. The big packers were not prominent in the buying at any time and the shippers took the greater number of offerings. One outside sale of fancy heavy hogs went at $6.3732 but most sales of this grade were made around $6.35. The bulk of sales ranged from $6.25 to $6.30. Good light hogs were in demand at the decline. One load went at $6.35, but this grade sold generally around $6.30. There was a good clearance made early with the bulk of the supply in the hands of the shippers. Good Demand For Heifers. The cattle market was irregular and sporty. The greatest demand was for heifer stock of quality. The attention of the early trade was drawn to lliis elrsp. md these sold readily when of good fat and quality. Sales of cows were slow until the trade had taken a good many butcher heifers. Packers were inclined to bid lower for cows but later their bids were steady with the day before. There were a good many sales around $4.50. These had good quality. Other sales ranged from $3.854.40. It was late in the day before the attention of buyers was given to the steer market. In the early day they were bidding 10c lower than vesterday, but when the demand increased they ' were willing to' pay steady prices for the best. This brought a number of sales. Bulls were active and steady, while veal calves sold strong. Several sales were made around 8c, but the range was from $7.00 to $8.00. A Few Lambs of Quality. ' Sheep - receipts were again light. There were a few lambs of quality in the consignments that easily brought 7c. Local butchers and packers, took the sheep a"nd lambs offered,; Prices on the majority of the arrivals were steady with former days this week. Cattle.

THE TREND OF STOCK PRICES WAS TOWARD A LOWER LEV-EL-BONDS WERE" STEADY.

Small Dealings and Narrow Changes Were Features. General Market Was Stagnant. Public Utilities Made Additional Declines. Some Rallies in the ..Weaker Stocks. Railroad Stocks Showed Little Weakness. New York, March 15. The trend of opening prices in the stock market was toward a lower level, " although not very decidedly so. Dealings were small and changes generally narrow. Opening losses were recovered, but the market became highly irregular. Additional Large Declines. The general market was stagnant, but the' public utilities made large additional declines. There were some rallies in the weak stocks. Bonds were steady. The recent wholesale liquidation in certain stocks gave an undercurrent of weakness to the entire group of specialties. Most of the better known railroad stocks, though neglected, showed no weakness. The closing was dull, and in most cases stocks showed fractional declines under the opening. NEW YORK STOCKS.
