Chicago. March 17. Logan A Bryan ay:
The selling lnf wheat come from scattered
liquidation. The continuation of yeaterday'
weakness was accentuated by rain In the
southwest. There wss rsther better buying
nd th close wss considerably steadier. Liver
pool only partially followed yesteraay .oreaa
here and Broomhall cables light Argentine
offerings and the market was effected by higher
prices for bresdstuffs i in Russia. Primary
receipts are In excess of a year ago and the
cash situation all around was rather slow.
The outlook Is for a medium crop. W still
took for a good scalping msrket, but on the
rallies we think It should be born In mind
that th price la atlll high.
Corn Is About. Unchanged.
The corn -market la about unchanged. It
waa weak, early In sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat, but evidently recelve4 good sup
port on the decline and the early loss wss
regained. Tbe prevailing local feeling among
traders Is bearish ana there is quits a targe
short interest. There is the same buying
on tbe breaks ss heretofore of May corn which
supposed to be for Armour, although u
done -I hroush commission houses. There is
uo improvement in -the csah situation and the
contract Stuff Is somewhat Increased. Apart
from the manipulation the situation doe not
look strong, but manipulation may be th im
portant factor.
oata on th wnoi uooa.
Tbe oats msrket is on the whole good.
There wss a little selling pressure from scat
tered liquidation early, but there waa enough
covering by local shorts to absorb it. The
market seems tending towsrd dullness in a
speculative wsy. Receipts art fair snd there
is a fair cash demand. Th bull side la at
the time without leadership.
Previsions Ars Sown.
Pork Is 20c lower and -lard and rtbr'lTHe

and the same absence of support from packing
Interest or from local people. Receipt : are
large In compariaon with a year ago. - Packer

. By Oeorge B. Long-an. .
Kansas City, Mo., March 17. The
commission men of Kansas City stock
yards have engaged in a fight with the
packing trust which may mean thS
death of the Kansas City stockyards aa
open yards or the curtailment of the
power of ; the meat combine. The
Fowler Packing company here, has been
maintaining, private yards to which tbe
farmers and feeders of fat cattle are
Invited to ship their ' stock "and re
ceive better prices than are paid upon
the . open market."- The commission
men see where. If the Fowler Packing
company gets such a business started,
the other packers may follow suit and
drive the general yards out of , exist
ence. The nght against the Fowlers, is
to make them abandon the private
yarda. .:"'
. Begin a Boycott.
The commission men have begun by
boycott which they. 'are enforcing
strictly. They are? notifying the feed
ers that the fight lu on and asking that
no stock be consigned to the Fowler
company. ' They are also reruamg xo
sell the Fowler company stock from
the general yards ao long as It main
tains Its private yards.
The Fowler company Is owned by the
National Packing company, a holding
company controlled by the meat, trust,
Armour, Swift & Morris. It Is a big
plant and is one of the nine big Inde
pendent companies that have ' been
bought up by the trust and is operated
under a joint ownership. The Fowler
pW has a capacity of 1,000 cattle, 12,-
0.00 hogs and 18,000 sheep a. day. Tn
private yards are supplied by solicitors
and buyers who are riding through tbe
country asking the farmers to ship di
rect to the packing house. :
Trust Zs Crippled.
However, the plant has been able to
get In this way, only about half enough
to - keep it T busy and the rest of the
stock necessary has been bought in
the general yards here. Hence this
week the Fowler company has been
badly crippled and is working at only a
Jialf capacity and the probabilities are
that the shipments will fall off to the
private yards.
Oeorge E. Cole, president or the Colt
& Ott Livestock commission firm, one
of the conservative commission mrn
here who la the most familiar with the
situation, explains the fight In this way:
tookman Explains situation. .
"The feeders and we stockmen are al
ways talking about, the great evil that
the packing combine is to the livestock
industry.-- We are- trying to- get -more
competition ' while the .packers are try
ing to kill it and pay one price. Every
load of stock that a feeder or farmer
sen&s to the .Fowler private yards la a
knife plunged in his own back. He is
aiding the trust. The commission men
are fighting the shipper's battle and we
ask the shipper to help himself first of
all. If he doesn't; the trust will be
getting -bis stock at any price It cares
to pay.
"The Fowlers say tbey can pay more
because they save the salaries of buy
ers and the commissions and yardage
charges. This is false. The Fowler
company has aa many buyers in the gen
eral yards today as It did three years
ago before the private yards were
started. Then the buyers and solicitors
that are riding through the country are
costing the company more than the com
missions and yardage combined. Now,
then, if the packers are paying more,
what is their object? They are cer
tainly not doing it-for health or cour
tesy to the farmer." v .
Tnr Xana-e Cattle Come.

from $4.50 to fS for' the best dressed
beef gradea Stockers and feeders are

A Cattle Seoelpts at ATI Markets.
Receipts of cattle at the Ave western
markets last week were under 110,000.
or about the same aa in the correspond
ing week last , year, but nearly 25.000
less than the week before, The de
crease was sustained at the minor
markets. Receipts last 'week barely
reached 29,000, the same aa last week
and nearly 1,000 less than a week ago.
Chicago received (7.700 against (5,200
the week before and (5,700 a yearjigo.
The opinion prevails that receipts will
continue small for a few weeks, at any
rate until after the close of the. Lenten
season. The market for dressed beef
has been very unsatisfactory in tho
east and shippers have been ordered to
buy at lower . prices, notwithstanding
tne small movement. Choice, well fin
ished steers seem to be getting scarcer
all the time, but prices are so little
above ordinary grades that feeders find
little encouragement fh making them
fancy. . .
There Was little or no Improvement
in tbe market here for beef -gradea,
Cows, heifers and butcher gradea were
in strong demand during the first three
days and advanced to 10 to 15 cents.
There was little change in prices in the
last two days. The atocker and feeder
recelpta have been comparatively small
and speculators were active, and there
was a good representation of country
tiuyers. Stock cows, heifers And calves
have also advanced 15 to 25 cents and
are in geod demand.
Sheep Beoeipts Larger.,
Sheep rcelpts here for last' week
were 23,075, against 24,350 the week
before' and 18,775 a year ago. Chicago
had 4.ope,.agalnst 81,800 the week be
fore and 69,000 a year ago. Receipts at
the nve markets aggregate 1(9,776,
against 188,276 the week- before and
123,000 a year ago.
The sheep market was steady to 20
cents - lower than a week ago. Good
sheep and Iambs were steady, yearlings,
medium grade lambs and sheep were 15
to 20 cents lower. The best lambs of
tho; week sold up to $5.66; yearlings,
st; ewes, $4.15, and wethera. $4.60.
The range in prices on lambs was $5 to
$5.66; yearlings. $4-50 to (6; wethers,
14 to $4.60'; ewes, $3.60 to $4.16. The
demand as a rule was good, but too
many common offerings were In sight,
Tha best finished gradea sold on arrival
and the dullness In the trade waa caused
by the large per cent of unfinished
lambs and yearlings. Two or three
bunches of feeding, lambs sold above $4,
but outside of a few lots there waa noth
ing suitable for feeding.
property owners in Carl street are
endeavoring to secure a water main on
that street before the gravel is laid. The
thoroughfare . Is graded between Mil
waukee avenue and !ast Twentieth
street, and will be graveled. The Im
provement on Ellsworth atreet, be
tween 'Grand avenue1 and East Tenth
street, will be completed as soon as the.
weather permits. , . "
