THE STRONGEST AND BEST.WHEEL MADE 
Paul on May 7, 1887, was 7,682,886 bushels. 
The weekly milling consumption of wheat at 
Minneapolis is ubout 500.000 bushels. Tho 
new crop will not be uvaiinble (except, per¬ 
haps, to a very limited extent) till about the 
last week ju September, or for 30 weeks, Tho 
Minneapolis nulls will require, therefore. 10,- 
000,000 bushels of milling wheat prior to the 
new crop, or about 2,500,000 bushels more than 
was in stock on May 7. Duluth, however, 
contained 10,753,380 bushels of wheat on the 
date named. 
The stock of winter wheat May 7, 1887, at 
St. Louis was 1,080,132 bushels; at Toledo 
1,032,869 bushels, and at Detroit 318,813 bush¬ 
els, a total of 2,431,814 bushels. 
All accounts from California, Texas and the 
Southern States east of the Mississippi, indi¬ 
cate that the growers and local buyers of 
wool, including those from some of the West¬ 
ern markets, are no less confident than a your 
ago. The prices reported to have beeu paid 
for small lots in Texas are relatively much 
higher^ than those now realized in Boston, 
New York und Philadelphia. 
Freight rates from Texas, east of Fort 
Worth, to St. Louis, have finally been estab¬ 
lished at $1 j»er 100 pounds to Chicago; $1.30 
to Philadelphia, and $1.45 to New York. A 
reduction in rates from California is announced 
by the Southern Pacific Company, the new 
tariff being $1.50 per 100, or the same as the 
Canadian Pacific’s. Ii is thought that this 
will lead to early shipments. 
in the Boston market the sales of the week 
have been 1,956,000 pounds, as compared with 
1,700,000pounds last week and 1,108,000 pounds 
in the corresponding week last year. The fol¬ 
lowing are comparative prices:

Arrivals of hogs at Chicago the past week 
have fallen below corresponding time last 
year, but this has been more thau made up by 
the enlarged number bandied at points fur¬ 
ther west; total packing for the week 170,(XK) 
hogs, compared with 155,000 last week, and 
130,060 for corresponding time lust year; total 
from March 1 to date t,:2k),000 hogs against 
1,170.000 last year—increase, 100,000, Prices 
of hogs have been moderately reduced, gen¬ 
erally 10 to 15 cents per 100 pounds, and the 
outlook seems to favor a probable further 
reduction in the near future. Quality of 
hogs being packed is now generally good. 
There was rather loss export movement of 
hog products and provisions during the week, 
and speculative operations were also less con¬ 
spicuous than previously. Prices have tuuded 
downward for cosh goods. Pork sold moder¬ 
ately to dealers and shippers and closed easier. 
On Thursday, at Chicago, ou free settlements 
for May and Juue, mess pork broke, precipi¬ 
tately, to $20. Western steam lard declined 
here on optious seriously (with the break at 
the West), ou moderately active speculation, 
and ou Thursday closed heavily.
