WHEAT WEAK 1N CHICAGO, The Pressure to 8ell May Causos the Market to Decline, HEAVY CHANGING OVER TO JUNE Corn For May Delivery Touches the Low Point—Oats Active at Lower Prices—Provisions Disturbed — Quotations, CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CricAGo, April ! peclal Telegram to the Bep. ] =The foreign wheat markets were strong to-day and a very active export in- quiry at the seaboard is reported, with forty boat-loads taken for export up to 1 o' in New York, ording to private advices, The American markets outside of Chicago were notably firm, Chicago was weak b cause of the pressure to sell May. Befors regular trading began on the board represen- tatives of one of the eligue houses were scur- rying around trying to change May over into June at 25, and before 1 o'clock the differ- ence had widened to 2ijc, The changing over of several million bushels on a basis of 2@lye was reported, and of several small and moderate sized lots at 2%c. ‘The heavy buying of June wheat by the cligue houses and by houses that have heretofore been recognized as bear concerns, served to strengthen the market. The clique buying was only moaerate proportions, but pur- chases to cover large lines of short wheat were very large. ‘The belief prevailed gen- erally that but for the support of the short interest the whole market must have been dragged down by the open efforts to unload May. As it was the closing prices show only a trifling decline as compared with yesterday. May opened to-day at Sle, sold up to 81i4@ E154e,and closed at807¢e. Juncopened at83%c, sold up to ~ down to S27¢»S3c, and closed at 83kie. ‘The range on July was @-<5'{e, closing at the ins Corn for May delivery touched the lowest point to-day that has been reached since trading in it be- gan. ‘Lle process of realizing by the longs that has been such a conspicuous feature ot the trade all the week was lareer to-day than ever, and atter a temporary show of strength around the opening, as a result of the early bulge in wheat, the market grew heavy, then weak, and prices broke ';e and closed lower than yesterday, May resting at 57%c, June at 59%e, and July at 40’c. Based on last Saturday’s closing these futu show a decline, in the order named of 1%e, le, and 3jc. May opened at i and soid from 377¢ @373e down to 37ic, the bottom being touched shortly before. the close. ~The ex- treme range for June was 3%@30%ec. Oats were also quite active, and business, as in corn, was largely in the way of changes. Prices ruled weak and at 1 o'clock showed a aecline of % for futures this side of July, 26°Ce being the latest bid for Mayv and 25%e for June, “Seller July was only 'se off, 5 g at 25%{c, but all the futures rested at the bottom for the day and week. he trans- fers trom May to June were at 1%/@11je pre- mium for the latter, and from May to July at 22y difference. In ~ the provi- sion market the week and month closed with trade in a somewhat aisturbed condition. In the speculative ar- ticles—lard and short ribs—weakness was the ruling feature, under excessive offerings of May holdings, ‘'which were shown by the “tailers” and the smaller class of traders generally. A sharp decline was suffered in these lines, ‘The bear side had the best ot the movement throughout. The difference between May and June was widened until at one time it amounted to 15¢ in lard and 20¢ in short ribs, and at the close of the day lara showed a actual depreciation of 10@15¢, and short ribs of 12! g The closing carrying charges for lard were 10@12' /e, and for short Tibs 10@lbe the outside in both in nees Dbeing the difference between May and June, In pork the corner manipulators advan the price for May and_June to 00 or §1.00 above yesterday's market.

The k advanced on the showing, but around 46 a good deal of long stock was for sale. Bull points on New England were quite plentiful, but, contrary to expectations, there was no move of consequence in the stock. ‘I'ne bank statement, showing a gain in the reserve of §450,000, was construed as fairly favorable, but did not infuse any life into the market. Reports regarding the condi- tion and prospeets of business were all of a favorable tenor, but no one seemed inclined to either buy or sell stocks. The lack of trade ‘was a notable feature of the day., There was very little in the market in the afternoon. ‘Western Union slumped off a fraction on a reported cut in telegraph rates.

Everybody - - - OMAHAS FRUIT MARKET, One of the Best and Most Liberally Patronized in the Country. Omaha has become noted all over the country among frait growers and ship- | pers, as a first-cluss market for their goods, It ially noted for the great amount of small fruits and berries which annuaily med he vd it would be diflicult to find another city of the » requiring as large a supply. If a fruit diet is healthy physicians as- sert, Omaha ought to be o healthy ey, Located almost in the eenter of the con tinent she is able to draw from all points of the compass. The frostis bavely out of the ground before strawberries begin coming from Mississippi and Louisiana, Then as the summer weather extends further north they come from Arkansas and stitl Jater from Missouri By the time the crop is exahusted in these states Towa, Nebraska and 1linois | berries put in an appearance. When the hot summer weather has dried up the vines in this lattitude, the supply is drawn from northern Michigan and other points farther north, The same thing is true of all Kinds of berries. Some of the finest fruit ever seen in this market is shipped from St. Louis, where some of the heaviest fruit dealers in_the country are located. A letter from Siaw & Rich- mond of St. Louis to their agents in this city, Branch & Co., indicates tnat the Arkansas crop 1€ not as large as last year, but the fruit is of a much better quality, The Missouri ecrop will also be shorter than for the past two years, on rcount OIS good many small growers going out of the business, However, there will be plenty to supply the demand and lovers of fruit in Omaha need not fear of going without, Of late years merchants in all sma!l towns throughout the state fallen into the habit of handling fruit more or less, which they order from 1 lers. Thisis due, no doubt, as Mr. Branch says, to the fact that the Omaha market is always well supplied with the choicest stoe is esy cor Concerniug the Cable Road. OymanA, April 80.—To the Editor of the Beg: s president of *“The Cable ‘Tramway Company of Omaha,” (being the company which isat present engaged in constructing the eable lines on Tenth, Dodge, Harney and ‘Twentieth streets), I would ask the careful consideration of the publie to the proposition which is to be submitted on ‘Tuesday next, giving our company the rizht to build horse earlines to run in conjunction with, and as feeders to our cable lines. ‘The condition placea in the ordinance proposing to ive us the privileze, is that we shall first compl six miles of track, after which we s lowed to build horse car il Tiamway company of Omaha has already let contraets for all cars, rail, material, ete,, nec essary to build three wmilés of double tra roads and they have also let the contiacts building 1 square, sit ‘I'wentieth ated on the southes and Harnoy streets, e also awarded © contracts their engine, being of nearly a thou- sand horse power capaeity and within four months from today “The Cable Tramway Company of Omaha will have a plantin this eity costing in cash fully half a willion dol- lars, We offer the forezoing as a reason why the ordinance civing us the right to build feeders should be passed. Had the present hor reompany not interfered with us in our [I'I:\Il-l for building last year the cable cars would now be in full operation, but the in- Junetion suits before Judee Brewer (now de- cided in our favor) eaused us to delay in building until the result of said suits should be known, Judze Brewer has not yet decided the question as to whether the present horse reompany possess the exciusive right to 1py the streets of Omaha for horse railway lines, but he does decide that we can build cabla lines, Ir the people will ratify the or- dinance granting our company the right to build horse car lines, we will if desired, give $10,000 bond guaranteeing to construct horse carlines, the money to be forfeited to the city it'we fail to build “at least three miles of horse ear track within eighteen months from this date, only stipulating that time in which we are” delayed by law suits shall not count against us. 1t is important for the people of Omaha to know whether the pres- ent horse car company have the exclusive rizht to the streets for horse car, and if our ordinance is ratitied at the polls we will com- mence building horse car lines as soon as the ordinances will permit,and if interfered with by the Horse Car company we will test the question with them in the courts. This is a matter of great importance to the eity. W eaker companios than ours would not da to attempt to litizate, these questions as powerful a corporation as the Horse company. but we are willing to fight them on the question if the people grant us the privil- ege. With the excention of the South Omaha Stock Yardscompany the stockiold- ers of our company are the most important body of men that have ever venture their money in Omaha enterprise.
