THE OMAHA DAILY BEE "SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1887, WHEAT TOUCHES THE LIMIT, The Olique's Low Point Reached and the Price Again Goes Up, TALES OF DAMAGE BY DRYNESS, Corn Drags Along in the Old Rut— Nothing Doing in Provisions— Lower Prices For Cattle— Market Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, 0, Special Telegram to the Bee.]—Wheat was down very early this morning to S0%c for May. ‘I'hat was where the elique houses stopped it the other day, and this is the figure it is said Cincinnati people have set up as the limit of conces- slons they are willing to make to the bears, Boltar the conduct of the market has borne out the gossip. When 80:;c has been reached traders have apparently butted themselves up against the wall and sales of short wheat shinply went into some enormous maw that did not seem to be affected by the quantity. May wheat touched *0%c to-day just as it has done heretofore. From S03ge May wheat ot back to 80Xe, The limit was difticult to break through to-day, as it was yesterday, or as it was Tuesday or on any of the other week days, when S0)je has been the low point for the May option. Yesterday it looked as if Hutchinson was the only one who defended the point. Tuesday it was plainly the Cincinnati crowd, but whether it is Cincinnati, or California, or Hutchinson, or somebody else, the market has been heretotore 80 well protected at this figure that the crowd is now certain that there is method in it If onee the tigure was broken through the stability of the wheat cligue would soon &llt to the test. To-day, after hanging at 0i5@S02e until noon, George C. Walker & Co., eredited with being one ot the clique houses, bought about 500,000 bushels of wheat, ‘That put the May option to 80ice, not quite, however, to the regular ftigure, Sle. ‘There are reports here now which are reiter- ating the tale of dwnage to winter wheat from the dry March.

The estimates for t0-morrow, how- ever, show that there will be big receipts Baturday, and of course heavy receipts are looked for Monday and ‘Tuesday. In pr visions there was not anything to gossip about. Late reports from New York sald twenty- four boat loads of wheat had been worked there for export. This did not revive the market, however, and at the 2:30 o'clock close the May option was 80l;@S05¢c. May corn closed steady at 80%e, ay ribs at g 9 May lard at $7.35. CHICAGO LIVE S8TOCK. C1icAGo, March 25.—[S pecial Telegramn to the Bre. E.—Ripe, fat cattle were in fair demand, while all other kinds sold very slowly at lower prices. The recelpts to- day were comparatively large. Nearly ev- erybody started out with the idea that prices would be lower, and of course they were lower. Monday, cattle sold 20c lower than Friday; Tuesday ata 10c advance; Wednes- day, early, ata 10@L% advance, which was lost before the close; Thursday, a 10cdeline, and to-dny prices were again 10c lower on all unripe and coarse and thin cattle, while some of the roughest cattle sold even lower than that and some tidy fat 1100 to 1200-Ib steers sold no lower, On the general average prices were all of lower than earl ‘Wednesday morning, but not much lower than Monday. Thursday’s shipments of cattle were 4,400, being compar- atively very heavy. While shippers held back éarly in the week, they have to take about as many cattle as last’ week. Yester- day some 1275 Ib distillery cattle sold at $4.4, and to-dav 147 bead, nvarylm. 1258 lbfl. sold at $4,70.

The talk continued bullish last night and the opening “was strong at about yesterday’s latest figures. ‘There was no particular feature to note. Northwesternjshowed continued strength,ad- vancing moderately during the forenoon, and 8t Paul also showing some improvement. Lackawanna was quite active, see-sawing within a rauge of half a point. Richmond Terminal sold up a little, but lost the im- provement subsequently, Pacitic Mail was quiet and eased off a trifie after the opening. London houses in Now York say that in view of very cheap rates for money on the other side foreigners will be sure to buy stock berv presently. There was some bull talk current to-iay on Pacific Mail, but not much movement, Pullman was attracting some at- tention, and at one time sold 1} points higher than last mght's close. One of Van- derbilt's brokers was a buyer and it was said there hiad been good buying for three days. Gould said yesterday that the only possibility of any flurry in the money market would arise from the Baltimore & Ohio deal, if con- summated, as it would take more money out of the street than the banks could spare at this time. It was ofticially announced that the interest on Reading improvement #'s, due in April, would not be paid. ‘The withdrawal ©n yesterday by the Grand Trunk of both its | freight and passenger departments from the Central nssociation rathor than accept the | Dew sehedule of east-bound rates was one of the toples of Intervat today. It Is believed that some way will be found t ‘contrel the Canadian 2018 so they will hot profit by the Inter-state law at the expense of their Ameri- can competitors, Yesterday's estimate on the earnings of the St. Louls & San Fran- eiseo road for the third week in March was verified to-day, the figures showing an in- crease of $25,%00, The earnings of the Mis- souri Pacific for January, February and March, this month being partly estimated, show an increase of $2,000,000 over the same quarter last year, The sales to noon were 167,640 shares, hake Shore sold off about % per cent during the day, said to be partially due to the action of the Grand Trunk in its withdrawal. The approximate statement for the quarter ending the 51st inst., with March partly estimated, shows a net increase in earnings of $118,8%0 and a surplus increase of 8132,000. Lackawanna declared its quarterly dividend of 13{ per cent and a submitted statement to the directors shows this was more than usual. In an interview Gould said he was a pronounced bull on the market on all good stocks in general, and on Western Union and Missouri Pacitic fn_particular. ‘The latter, he said, would make $200,000 this year over and abovs ed eharges, dividends, ete. St Paul and rthwestern eased off a little fromn the highest fizures, but the market in the afternoon showed but littie change. The total sales were 4 shares.

C., March 13.—The president lately lost $46 at poker. days before the close of the las of congress Mr. Cleveland felt the need of a little relaxation. Colonel Lamont sugeested a quict little game of poker. This seemed to fill the bill, and the selec- tion of a party was left to Mr. Lamont. ‘The hour was set for 10 o’clos t night, and a senator and two representatives sat down to the table. Lamont was banker and suggesed that the limit be $5. The president sat on the right of the banker and the senator on the left. erybody took $10 worth of chips to be- gin with. The game proceeded with varying fortunes and exciting jac! until nearly morning. The then seemed to pe a little ahead, and his winnings came about equally from the president and the sena tor. The congressmen were old hands, but they found that all their skill wi necessary to keep even with the game. A series of five jack-pots suggested to close the night's play. The first time around no one could open the pot, and on the next deal it took queens or better. The senator opened for the limit and ybody staid in. The representatives b took two cards, the president one and the senator three. Lamontsstood pat. The betting began vigorously, and the president looked s if he was blufting an office-seeker. Finally one of the rey resentatives called, imont shu\vt'd down a king full. ‘The president had the ace of herrfs, nine and seven of dia- monds, and the deuces of clubs and spades. o The senator had a queen full, aud the representatives had full and two pair, aces up, re - mont raked in the pot and lhu playus cashed in their chips. The president was out $16. The congressmen told the story to some of their colleagucs and that is how 1t got out. A sclerk in Louisville invested 50 in pork at n bucket-shop the other day, and succeeded in running it up to $5,000. Then he determined to make it $10,000 and qut and get married. His 5,000 crept up almost to the desired amount, and then the market took a turn against him and in a few hours he didn't have cven the original $50. He will not marry this spring. el A New Orleans parrot was very much annoyed h, a couple of doves that soon as she stepped out of her c rushed nd ate up all the food llu-ru One day, after apparent profound thought, the parrot stepped out of the cage, and then turned and with greaf care shut the door after her. The squnwk of triumph she then gave showed that she knew that she had done well, WANTED, RAW FURS! At the highest market price.. Send for price current 1o the Old Reliable Funlcu und Fur Merchants.
