_ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1887. THE * MAY DEAL" MYSTERY, Wheat Operators Very Busy Hunting For " Tips" and *' Pointers.”" PRICES SHIFT DURING THE DAY, The Corn Market Featurcless, With Fluctuations Confined to a Narrow Range—Considerable Activity Iu Provistons, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CricaGo, March 16,—[Special Telegram to the Brr|~The wheat market was steady at the opening and prices ranged about the wame as at the close yesterday, May going at #ll4cand June at 80'je. Values settled 1e, touching the bottom shortly before 11 0'clock, After that hour the market assumed a firmer tone and prices crawled back to the starting point and up to Slige, resting at 1 o'clock with May at 8181%c. June made a slight gain on May, but it is noticed that whenever there is especial activity in the pit May lifts its nose and forges aliead. The local crowd ‘Wwas in a somewhat mixed state to-day. The mystery of the ay deal” still oceupied the attention of tue trade, and at no time since the fact develoved that strong parties have hold of considerable lines of proverty due for delivery that month has there been so much gossip and so httle genuine news of fmyortance, ‘I'ie majority ot the room op- erators are so busily enzaged watching for tips and pointers, and discussing the prob- ableontcome of the so-called *‘deal,” that they have no time left for the studying of current s tics and ordinary market indi cations, ‘Tlie heavy reeeipts in the north- west are the feature of moment in that loeali hough a dispatch to the effect that A& counter current was rrying seed wheat in no small quantities back into the interior was received on ’chanye. The drift of news from the northwest is bearish in tenor, millers reporting a d port trade in tlour, Louis advan e rather sharply to-day on purchases of cash Wheat for shipment. The corn nmrket was featureless and the fluctuations In prices were within a e rance, ‘Thero was a rat heavy opening at 39(c for May, and after selling off to 39i¢e, and then steadily up to 40c that future closed at 1 o’clock at 39%@ 892¢e. Speculative business was light in the aggregate and mainly local, the parties who went short yesterday being tie principal buyers. ‘I'hé market fluctuatea closely with wlicat all through, aud the buying figires at the close of the [ong session were on a level With yesterday’s closing. The receipts at this point are not panning out as large as ex- ected, Tlfe inspection returns for the past hree days aggregate 960 cars, against 731 cars for the same time Iast week, Last Saturday 1t was predicted that there would be a run this week of 3,000 cars. Oats for future de- livery were dull and steady, closing the same a8 last night. The limited specul; busi- ness done was in May and June. There was an exnibition of activity in provisions early in the day and values of ribs and lard tende: downward, but later trading was at improy- ing prices, though the lost ground was not entirely regained, D. m,—Wheat was easier on the after- 1000 board, selling off to 8035e for May, clos- ing at 80%c. May corn sold at 395} May oats at 28%¢e, May pork at $20.75 lard at $7.55, May short ribs at §8,05, CHICAGO VLI v l‘; S8TOCK. CirrcAao, March 16.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.) —CATTLE, © cattle market to- day was buoyant and prices were a strong 10c higher. Prices were about 25c higher than Monday and 60c higher than Monday week. It 18 neadless to say that prices wero very unaven and that in some cases there was 25¢ difference in the value of the same cattle sold at tho same prices and vice versa. Nearly everybody expected that last week's denm‘e would brlnrn flood of cattle here y to-day, and that is the very reason why the flood didn’t come. Many people ara looking for an over-supply and lower pricey very soon, and of course it will be strange if this sharp advance in prices is not followed by @ sharp reaction, even if i€ Is only tempo- rary. The strong tendemcy of the market, however, probably goes to “brace up the con- victions of caftle feeders who have been feeding and holding for higber prices, hosxlnx almost against hope. This being the case, cattle feeders ‘who have held so long while the market was depressed will not be likely to get nervous and crowd in too soon while prices are so rapidly on the mend. However, there are many cattle which feeders for various reasons are anxious to send in, so shibpers slnnotbeumeuuflauu for awhile. Yester- ay & lot of 1120 1b. corn fed steers from nnls, Tex., sold at §4.00. To-day It will noticed that the sales includea good mgny heavy cattle at $5.20@5.45.

London continued to be a moderate buyer of stoeks, but local seutiment was ouly moderately bull- ish. The sharp advance ot yesterday had caused most of the shorts to cover and it was not thought that the cliques woula care to lift the market just at present by main strength. Stories were again current that the Baitimore & Ohio deal had been consum- mated and that Gould wasa member of the syndicate which would take charge of t new company. ‘The view was held by many that one result of the pending negotiations waould he a settlement of the telegraph war, but traders were inclined to be skeptical on this paint, as It was noticed that brokers for insiders for Western Union ofticers were sell- ers of stock around 76 Hocking Valley showed sunie strength early in the day, but Iater sold off sharper. There was sowe talk that a New England pool had been running and the weakness of the stock early in the day did ot Indicate that it was receiving wnuch supprort. ‘The friends of 8t Faul were talking very bullish on that property and pre- @icted a sbarp rise In it before the dividend fs due. At noon the market was very steady and but little changed from opening prices, Sales to noon were 100,000 shares. The latest story regarding the Baltimore & Ohio deal was that Garret had sold the road. but neither Gonld, Sage or Sully were interested in the purchase. Very little news calculated to effect prices eame out during the afternoon and the market held dull and steady with a marked indisposition on the part of traders todo anything at all. Sterling exchange was a shade easier, and it was argued by the bulls that rather free buying of stocks by foreign houses would cause a still further de- cline. The market closed almost exactly where it opened. The total sales were about 000 shares, GOVERNMENTS—Government bonds were dull but steady. RDAY'S QUOTATION 1014 C. & N.
