SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Dry Weather News Bulls Wheat, But Trading is Light. A GOOD DEMAND FOR CASH CORN Notwithetanding Liberal Receipts— Oats Also Rule Quite Strong—Pro- visions Lower—A Falling Off in Cattle—Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. t Ciicaco, April 20.—[Special Telegram 10 the Brr.)—The dry weather was an all powerful influence in the speculative grain markets to-day. Its influence was felt most in corn and oats, but it was sufficient to ad- vance prices in the wheat market. There did not appear to be any great rush of buying orders, but when there was one to be fil or when some short tried to cover, it was noticeable that sellers were scarce. When buying orders were not present the local crowd were “offering” prices down only to see a sharp reaction with any new demand. This feature of the market was shown when at ono time the local crowd were offering July wheat at 83c. Chicago operators under- took to buy up some, and had to pay &3%c be- fore getting 50,000 bushels. Trading was light, The crop news continues of the samo tenor—altogether bad. A report from Cincin- nati said the Price Current of that city, to whose estimates some atten- tion is gencrally paid by the trade, placed the winter wheat condition in Ohio at 65, Indiana 70, Illinois 06 and Michigan 06, and estimated therefrom a shortage in the winter wheat crop of 45,000,000 bushels. The behrs consider this a rather favorable esti- mate for them, as the reports cireulated here for the past week or two woutd indicate n considerably greater shortage. A large pro- portion of the trading here now is ‘‘changing over” from May to the more deferred deliv- eries, chiefly Junc and July, which are now most dealt for the first time, the indicator g uations of June as the leadmg option. June wheat opencd at S2c, which was losing price, early at 813(c, th ub to €246, and closed at 1 0 le k at 82 s29.c. May wheat opened at 80%gc, Lot gnl-v. up to 819c, and closed at 1 o'clock at . here was a good demand for the lower grades of cash corn to-day for shipment. The quantity now loading into vessels is large, and the stocks arc small. These things, not- withstanding the liberal receipts, made the sshorts very nervous, and the bulls added to_their uneasiness by a reminder that this dry weather, which prevails throughout the corn belt, was extremely bad for the coming crop. The shorts, also found, when they tried to cover, that there was very little for'sale, and they were compelled to pay higher prices. The demand was most urgent from the May shorts. Hutchinson wasa good buyer early, but turned seller at near the top price, and helped to check the ad- vance. May corn_opened at 5be and after selling carly at 54%¢c, advanced to5615@sbiic, fell buck to 5554, s0ld_up to 56¢ again and closed at 1 0'clock at 537¢e bid, dune corn opened at 54%c, sold up to 553 @s5}¢c, and closed at 551, The same taik of dry bad weather for sced- ing had the same effect of scaring the shorts in the oats market, the influence Weing felt most in_proportion’ to the nearncss of the month dealt in. May oats opencd at 821, 80ld up to 8¢ and closed at 1 w'clock at 820cc, Juncoats sold_ from s2lceup to 323e, and closed at, c, oats sold from 8230 to B c August oats from #gc to20¢, up to and closing at 9‘"/(‘ Provisions again ruled lower. In the ab- sence of any particular support from any quurter, and under the influence of good re- ceipts of hogs, the opening in this market was at a material reduction in values, Initial sales of pork were made at prices 20c under last night's closing, while in lard they showed a decline of 5@7'gc and in short ribs of Tige. Later there was somo recovery from this de- pression, but it was insuflicient to regain the ground lost. At1o'clock pork showed a net ;?éléing off of 15¢, lard of 5¢, and short ribs of AFTERNOON SessioN—Wheat was a shade easier. May sold at 80%@Slc on the split and 81}¢c¢, closing at about 8lc. June opened at 821¢c, sold at 82¢, then to 82lc, with a few “sales at 82lc, closing at' 82ic. July closed at ~ 823(@S8 Dccemum- closed at about 85e.

Telegram to the Beg.1—Car 1t’s bad,” said a sales- man, “but it is not as bad as might have been expected.” Prices were about 10c Jower than yesterday, but sales were quite uneven, ‘Thin and coarse cattle, especially heavy grades, were neglected and sold lower than anything else, Haudy, fat steers of light and medium weights sold best, Fat light cattle sold higher than the ripe heavy grades, The common to fair kinds of beeves were in large supply, and while the general demand was good, buyers wanted consider- able reductions on the strength of big re- coipts, There was a very heavy volume of business done, and not many cattle failed to soll, Fancy, $5.00@5.85; shipping steers, 1850 to 1600 1bs, $4.15(@4.80: 1200 lu 1.4501 0@4, £3.85@4.40; 950 to 1200 1 ers und fecders, $5.5068.70; cows, ulis. and .60@3.00; Texas mixed, $1.80@ fed steors, §3.3 Hoos—Trade opened with a_sh turn of 5@10¢, but at the cut busing brisk, the general market fually closing with the decline about regained.

New Youx, April 20.—[Specia) Telegram to the Bee.]—-8tocks—The stock market again started upward and higher prices were recorded on all active securities, with the ex- ception of one or two fancies. The market continues to broaden and there are more stocks in it than at any previous time this year, although the advance has been good and rapid, and many of those who went in on the ground floor have unloaded, their place has been taken by fresh blood, and the upward movement continued with as much force as before, Easy money is still the chief stock argument of the bulls, It is claimed that the secretary of the treasury can and will put $200,000,000 of money Into circulation this year, The ouly way for him to do it is to purchase bonds, and should he secure that amount it would be one-fifth the bonded in- debtedness. It is also claimed that the mere announcement of the secretary's willingness to purchase bonds will have the desived effect on the money market. There hus been a large covering of shorts for the past three said to be well out of the market. Operators who wateh the mar- kot closely said the advance had been sufil client for the present and advised selling for # reaction, but said stocks were & good pu chase on any waterial dechno, The opening was rath acy, but,as ou p us days, the declines were fr al. London was a fairbuyer of Union Pacitic and St. Paul, and prices advanced 3 to 1 point. The Broadywuy party took Lold of Jersey Central after it-had dropped &e, and the ) 18 rogained.

New England and Richmond Terminal were quiet and only fractionally better. The mar- ket was filled with long stocks during the closing hour, and caused a weaker feeling and a decline in almost every stock on the list, and the bulk of the advance was lost. Burlington and Manhattan, however, were exceptions, and both closed firm at outside figures, the former showing a net gain of 2)§ points and the latter 8}¢. Other gains were 1% on Northern Pacific preferred, 14 on Rock Island, 5 on St. Paul, § on Union Pacific, Reading and Northwestern, 1% on Missouri Pacific, 3 on Kansas & Texas, on Western Union.

Thursday, April 20, 1888, It was an off day in the cattle market. The packers were heavy buyers yesterday and were not in need of many cattle to-day. In addition to that the market was in such bad shape in Chicago as to discourage any specu- lative demand that might have been. For those reasons the number of cattle sold was comparatively small to what it has been for a few days back. Under the influence of the neavy decline 1n Chicago, the market here was b@10c lower. Heavy cattle were almost entirely neglected by the buyers and were lower in proportion than the light and med- ium weight cattle. The market closed slow and weak, Hogs. To-day’s hog market was in many respects very unsatisfactory and was a_difiicult mar- ket to report. The receipts were_heavy but not as heavy as for the past few days. = Tho market opened slow with the best liogs sell- ing about 10c lower than yesterday morning and in some cases salesmen had to_take off 15, A few loads reached $5.25, which was the top of the market, but they were not as good quality as the hogs which sold at £.40 yesterday. ~ Light and common mixed hogs were very slow all day and_10@lsc lower than yesterday morning. The -hogs were not all sold untilin the afternoon and then the market closed a little better, the fecling being, if anything, stronger. Sheep. There wore no sheep hero to. make a mar- et. Cattle.

Superintendent Smith, of the horse car company, said yesterday that they wanted no cable line in theirs, In a few years, and perhaps before that, a motor would be per- fected which would do away with the cable, and when it was perfected the local cem- pany would take hold of it. William Mc- Laughlin, an Omaba inventor, had informed him only a few days ago that he would be ready in a short time to experiment with his motor upon one of the cars. Yesterday another car was placed upon the fair grounds street car line, making a total of five and rendering possible twenty min- utes trips instead of twenty-five minutes as heretofore. Superintendent Smith says that ten-minute runs will be made in g few weeks, *The best on earth” can truly be said of Grigg's Glycerine Salve—a speedy cure for cuts, bruises, scalds, burns, sores, piles, tetter and all skin erup- tions. gI'vy this wonder healer, 25 cents.
