fHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wild Fluctuations and Much Excite- ment Witnessed in Wheat. THE WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE. They Have a Stimulating Effect—A Bearish Sgntiment Prevalls in the Corn Pit—Oats Rule Dull ~Quotations. COHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Ontcaco, April 20.—[Special Telegram 10 the Brr.]—The wheat market fluctuated less wildly to-day, but there was o fair range—enough to make speculation profita- ble if speculators’ conclusions were right. There was also plenty of excitement soon after the opening, when one of the persistent sellers of the last few days began to cover his big line of short wheat. Things were very unsettled before the opening. Early im the morning for instance, 83c had been paid for May wheat on the open board, but on the regular board first sales were at s and there was some decline from that price al- most immediately. The noticeable sellers were the commission houses who had been buying for several days and had handsome profits for their customers. Thisrealizing by the longs served to make the crowd feel rather bearish and make the market easicr for a little while, but when it was scen that @ prominent short was covering, the price was run up on him lgo or more very rapidly. The bullish influ- ences to-day were just, the same as for u week past; chiefly the damage to the winter wheat, next a late season for sceding spring wheat, and a shade of cncouragement for holders in the possibility of foreign polit- ical complications looking towards war. There was nothing new, however, in any of these things to-day, and the argument of short sellers was that the top had been reached, and that a reaction was inevitable unless more stimulating news should come. May wheat opened at 82, sold down to 8157 up to $23c, down to 813@813¢c, up to 813e, down to B3 @S1ige, then up to K23, lield between that price and 813¢e for some time, then fell back to 8L3¢@s15e, advanced to and closed at 1 o'clockat de. ~ Jlne wheat opencd at 83lce, sold at &3%c and down to 82i5c, closing at 1 0'clock at 83@silc. The specalative corn market lacked inter- est. The local crowd scemed to be bearish, and after the first batch of buying orders had_ been filled, gradually sold the market down, and without any great trade or quick fluctuations at any time. The receipts were not as larwe as expected, but the grading was much better. The esti’ mates for to-morrow are large. The bears are looking for greatly increased receipts soon and better grading because of ship- ments of country cribbers to fill May sales which they have made. They talk lower prices, but short scllers of corn have had several hard “twists” lately and they have become cautious. Raids in the corn pit are not fashionable of late. May corn opened at B8e, sold down to 5355¢c, back to bbc, down to Bhide, to Bhdie, down to Bi@bdte, up to 3¢c, and closed at 1 0'clock at 5oige. June corn opened at bbc, sold_ut bhigc, then down 10 Bid7c, and closed with that price bid at 1 o'clock. There was only a dull speculative trade in oats, with a decline in price in sympathy with the easier corn market. May oats opened at 823c, sold at a2igc, down to and closing at 8ic Juno onts opened at 32! 4e, sold down 1366, aud closed at B2, July oats sold down from 825¢c to 82¢, and August oats from 28%c to 285¢c. rovisions commanded a fair general sup- port, but trading was_featurcless and devoid of special activity. Yet there was no de- veloped inclination to bear prices, and the fluctuations in the market were confined to comparatively narrow limits, Short ribs were sold in moderate way by foreign houses, while in lard one or two_well known shorts bought with a little freedom. Pork was slow, Products, as a rule, reacted a trifle from yesterday’s advance and in short ribs a decline was suffered of b@7i¢e, and in pork of 7ige. Lard was unchanged to 2ige easier, AFTERNOON SessioN—Wheat lower. May opened at 813ge, fell to813¢c, up toS15@s1ic, 1) off, closing’ at 81%@S1ie.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. * Cn10AGo, April 20.—(Special Telegram to the Ber.]—CarrLe—Trade was fair, y littlo or no change in values as com with yesterday. The demand, as is usual at this season of tho year, centered on nico light “handy” cattle of 1,200 and around there, and such sold up as high as any day this week. Then again there was a class of rather coarse but good and useful, averuging up in 1,400, that were not selling up to yes- terday's - averages, Common and medium steers s0ld at about the same as heretofore. Steers, 1350 10 1500 1bs, $4.40@5.05; 1200 to 1850 1bs, $8.90@4.50; 950 to 1200 Ibs, $3. g-’l 10; stockers and feeders, A0@3.60. bulls and mixed, $1 50; bulk, $2,5002.85; Texas steors, §.2 Hoas—Husiness was again brisk, with an upturn of 5@10c at the opening, yet closing @ shade easier after everything had been sold once so that values finally ruled about the same us at the extremo close yestorday.

Gen- eral conditions have not changed any of late and the feeling was mostly bullish, the street being filled with vague bull rumors about the formation of pools in various specialties, Bull leaders wont around the room bidding up one or othier of the stucks and met with little opposition from the bears. The bull peol was said to have taken hold of Missouri Pacitic and it advanced 15¢ poiots but broke %. Western Union was also on the bul! card end appreciated 57 It was said that the Reading's earnings for March did not show as much decreass us expected but were offset by the shrinkage in expenses. The St. Paul pool, of which %0 13uch has been said of late, were reported to huve sold out. They originally intended to buy 20,000 shares Irqmn 70 down, but feuud the market so weak that 40,00 shares weie taken. They vnloaded on the vecsnt bulge and cleored up $45,000.
