THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1888, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. In Spite of Very Bad Crop Reports ‘Wheat Rules Dull. BUYING ORDERS DID NOT COME. Heavy Receipts Have the Usual Effect on the Corn Trade—Oats Inactive ~The Bears Raid Pro- visions—Quotations. COHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnicaco, April 24.—(Special Telegram to the Brr.]—The continuance of the cold weather with very encouraging early cables, made the opening in the wheat market this mornipg a trifie higher than last night's close, but it was soon evident that there was @ very light demand from outside sources, and local traders began working for a break and gotit. It was nota very great break, however, and at a decline of about 'j¢ from opening prices there was more wheat wanted than short sellers were willing to put_out, and there was some recovery at once. Trad- ing was extremely light and the transactions of individuals were more noticeable than of late. Hutchinson and Cudahy were sellers, and the scalping crowd seemed disposed to follow them, basing their belief in a decline apparently altogether upon the abseuce of any additional news of a sensational charac- ter to stimulate the bulls and the absence of a speculative interest in the outside public. Crop news is no better and perhaps is some- what worse to-day. Tt was already about as bad as it could be, however, from the winter wheat belt. Every day of this cold, dry weather might well be expected to make prospects worse and the one new thing in the way of crop news to-day was in that connec- tion and from central Iowa, where, it was said, farmers who were rejoicing over the successful progress of seeding a week ago are now in a veritable cave of gloom because there has been no rain and little warmth, without which there will be no growth. As a sample of the winter wheat reports a letter from Saranac, Mich., estimated the yield at from nothing to half a crop, and the writer thought the condition the worst he had ever seen, and did not expect to see more than enough raised for bread and seed for the farmers. A letter from Crawfordsville, Ind., said that the yield would be only suf- ficient for seed and bread for the men who raised it. Crop news was certainly bad enough, but buying orders did not come with it, and that is the only explanation whichcan be offered for the heavy and declining mar- ket under such conditions. There wasa recovery from the first decline of the morn- ing, but this was followed by a little greater drop, and the close was almost at the lowest met of the season, May wheat opened at 15¢e, fluctuated between that price and 813c for a short time, then fell to 8le¢, advanced to 813 @S1'¢c, foll to 81ie, advanced to 81ige, fell to 803{(@S03¢c, and closed at 1 o’clock at 803gce. Junu wheat a\mnod at 823c, sold L\uwn to 81%c, and closed at 1 o'clock at 82¢. The corn market opened at about last night's closing figures, but large receipts and especinlly the large proportion of contract grade corn, soon turned the prices downward and there was an almost_unnterrupted drop of lc in May delivery. There was good buy- ing, however, at the decline and by strong houses, and early sellers were quite willing 1o cover without venturing for larger profits. Under this demand @ large part of the decline was recovered. Leaving the possible squeeze out of the question—and there is less talk of it now than at any time for the past month, the coursc of the market seems to be _ dependent - upon receipts hero. May com ' opened oot - biige, s0ld early up to 545¢e, then declined to b advanced to biig@bisge, fell to 5254 and closed at 1 o’clock at i June corn opened at bic, sold down to533¢ and closed at 1 o'clock at b3Jce asked. “Phere was a dull market in oats ina_spec- ulative way with a narrow rango of pr and scarcely any change from last night's close to note as the result of the day’s trad- ing. Muy and June oats ranged from B8l9c 10 813¢c and closed at_31}ge; July oats the same except that the lowest point touched for that delivery was § oats ranged from 28! closed nominally at 2 sold at 28c. Provisions experienced a_sharp revival of interest. A severe break in pork, the result of a raid by a small contingent of 'the famous bear combination, made the lower price party in other lines more aggressive and calléd to the entire trade more than ordina attention. The changes witnessed in_pr amounted to 250 in pork, b@ in lard and 5e in short ribs. The business actually transacted, however, pointing in the way of volume. Jfy only was tha rule, with short. ribs sho g more strength than either lard or pork. The last named a ) but little support under the ci though it rallied whenever a representative of the Fowler-Swift syndicate offered to buy. Based on last night’s closings the day’s net deeline in_pork was 106173e and in lard Short ribs closed unchanged.

Cnicaco, April 24.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—CatrLe—There was a good actiye movement in trade for certain desirable handy cattle of light and medium weights, but the market for coarse heavy and even good heavy cattle was dull and weak. There were & good mauy heavy cattle for which there was no demand. Exporters are get- ting 50 they seldom depend on Tuesday to fill their orders for heavy cattle and that was why there was no competition for heavy kinds to-day. The market closed wealk.

There was every evidence of a broad bull market. Securities that have been inactive for months are being taken up and advanced by numerous bull cliques, and the market was filled with buying pointers on Richmond Terminal. Cotton oil stifis, Lake Eric & Western, the Northern Pacific group, Erie common, Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, New England, and Texas Pacitic all showed con- siderable action ana prices advanced 3 to 2 points, New Eungland having the lead. The encouraging featurewas liberal buying or- ders received from Loudon, and during the morning 20,000 shares of Lake Shore, Read- fug and St.Paul also were taken by arbitrage houses. Gould stocks developed surprising strength and advanced 1% Vanderbilts ap- preciated 3( to 1.

The market remained strong until the last, closing sales being at outside prices on the majority of stocks, recording advances ranging from i to 11, Louisville & Nash- ville, Lake Shore, Manhattan,Oregon Trans- continental and Union Pacific having the lead. Erie gained %, Reading %, Northern Pacific 1¢, Northwestern 3, St. Paul %, cot- ton seed oil %, Missouri Pacific 11, Rich- mond ‘Terminal 1{, St. Louis & San Fran- cisco, Wheeling, Lake Erie & Western 1%.
