What has been here thia week aold on
about the same range aa a week no, al
though aellera had much lera difficulty In

cattle trade ia cleaning- up the aurplus rap
Idly and we can expect to see an active
trade again ahortly.
"Beef cattle eppeclally have an Improved
tone already and aelling to a good advan
tage, but there In alao a strong demand for
good atock cattle. The beef steer market
haa been without offerings ernce alonday
and there ta an Improved demand. Prices
this week axe on about the same level as a
week ago. There were several loads of
strictly good ateera here Monday that found
goon aale at pricea ranging from 910.73
up. with a sll.Oo top on one load. Tha bulk
of the salea on good ateera ranged from
10 to (10.30, with medium grades from (9

The arrivals of good beef cows thia week
have been vary amall. Demand waa good

CHICAGO. March 2. Export business up
held grain values today, notwithstanding
fine weather likely to facilitate the move
ment of the crop. Corn closed ateady at the
aame aa yeaterday'e finish, with March
I 27 and May 11.27. Oats finished a
shade off to Ho up. Provisions gained 10c
to 63c,
Ideal conditions for transferring corn to
primary terminals existed. Tha fact that
lw-grade corn waa meeting with only a
limited Inquiry operated, too, aa a bearish
factor. Any weakening from such Influences,
however, were soon completely offset by a
good demand which dryers maintained for
all corn of desirable quality. Export salea
thia week were estimated at S00.000 bushels.
Some strength In the March delivery of
oats reaulted from the purchase of 200. OO0
bushels of St. Louis for export. May waa
eajied by bearish field advices from Kaunas,
Oklahoma and Texaa.
Higher quotations on hogs, together with
the ainallne.-s of the slock of lard here, gave
a lift to provisions.

SETBACKS DIE TO PBICK LIMITS
Speculation Checked in Cereals and FVovi
stons at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Marfh 2. Sharp setbacks in
values on 'ph-anuti here have resulted this
week largely from the estaoiuiiliia of max
imum price limits on every commodity that
Is traded In. Outs and pork were affected
most. Compared with a week ago, corn this
morning waa unchanged to Mtyhic lower,
oata off He to 3 S 4i and provisions
down 2.c to $2. .5.
Pesptte a general rush to let go of spec
ulative holdings of oats, the corn market
held relatively steady. The chief reason
was that the new restrictions did not apply
directly to corn any more than had been
tha case for some time. Notwithstanding
that receipts were the heaviest yet this sea
son, the corn market gradually recovered
from most of the beari-th influence of the
sweeplna measures in regard to the exten
p. on of maximum prices, especially after the
fact- became apparent that export demand
was a sal it a substantial force. Peace talk
obtained only flitting notice.
Liquidation of ., oats holdings reached
big total. President Wilson's proclamation
disapproving a higher guaranteed price on
wheat led to considerable selling of oats
and so, too, did bearish estimates of farm
reserves.
Most of ths decline in provisions was
traceable to the setting of an all-around
maximum price limit.

CITY DEFENDANT IN SUIT
M. II. Gragg Asks to Annul Contract
With 1. France Company.
Suit was filed 'yesterday in the name
of M. H. Gragir to restrain the city
Council and the American LaFrance
Fire Engine Company from consummat
ine: a deal for the purchase of six auto
mobile fire engines on the Installment
tln.
The complaint contends that the city
can issue no evidence of indebtedness
unless the money has been duly appro
priated and is in the treasury to meet
the obligation, in tne case oi tne lire
machines, tne purcnase price was uo,-
500. whereas only $500. io was appro
priated, this being the amount of the
first Davment. Subsequent payments
are to be made at the rate of a
ear for two years.
Mr. Gragg holds that the contract as
finally entered into was not in ac
cordance with the sperlf ioations or the
bids Invited or the bids received. He
also contends that the war tax of J1809
on the machines was assumed by the
city without any authority.
