THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. MAY 2, 188- THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, ‘Wheat Falls Off a Little But Rules Firm. CONTRADICTORY CROP REPORT. Narrow Fluctuations in Corn and Trading Light—Oats Open Strong But Close Easier—Temporary Activity in Provisions, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Cniicaco, May 1.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—Yesterday's sharp advance in wheat seemed to have strained the bull movement a little and although the opening this morning was strong and was followed by a further small advance the speculative temperature was decidedly lower with a disposition on the part of traders to avoid buying at the top if possible. Sellers did ot greatly predom- inate, however, and it took all the morning session for prices to settle down lgc from the highest point reached. Except by the scalping element, which is always ready to take small profits, there did not appear to be much short selling. If the big bears did anything of the sort it was not conspicuous, The selling seemed to be rather by the longs ‘who were willing to take their profits and there were 80 many of this class that it argued a pretty fair demand to prevent prices settling farther than they did. Hutchinson was a free seller of wheat early but quite as free o buyer later at the decline. The receipts of wheat are still heavy in the northwest but the exports reported to-day were larger than for some time past. Early London cables gave spot wheat and futures firm with prices tending upward. Favoring the bears were better crop reports from St. Louis and from Baltimore, quite liberal deliveries, and a repost from the secretary of the Kansas state board of agriculture that the winter wheat acreage of that state was 1,300,000 acres, instead of 800,000, according to the national board. When that state produced its big crop of 4,000,000 bushels, it had 2,000,000 acres sown to wheat. Some reports from the winter wheat belt said that the recent rain had done great good, while others claimed that it had n too slight to penctrate to any consider- able depth or to be of much advantage. July wheat opened at 84c, sold at 833¢c, then up to &4)gc, then very slowly and with frequent reactions of (¢ sagged to 833, which was the price at the close of the morning session. June wheat opened at $23ge, sold up to 3¢ and down to &2i¢c, which was the price at the 1 o'clock close, There was very little of interest in the corn market. Fluctuations were contined to a mnga of about ¢, and trade was decidedly ligh The “deliveries were small, amounting to only about 250,000 bushels! These small deliveries scemed to in- duce some covering by shorts early, and the opening was strong at an advance of l{@ic over yesterday’s closing price, but large receipts of corn of contract grade soon produced an easicr feeling, and a_ decline of about Igc from the top prices reached about the opening. July corn opened at 55 at53%5c, down to 53¢ and closed at 1 o'clock at 55@hbie. June corn opened at at 5550 and at 543, closing at 1 o'clock at B5e. " The receipts of corn here were 493 cars, which was two cars less than the cstimate and 802 cars were of contract gradé. The estimate is for 203 cars for to-morrow. Vessel room was taken here to-day for 178,000 bush- elsof corn. The seaboard clearancés of corn were 6,000 bushels. The speculative oats market opened strong and higher because of light deliveries and some apprchension lest the small stocks might be controlied by too few people, but this early advance was lost early and the market was easier in sympathy with corn. July oats opened at 823¢c, sold down to 321{c and closed at 823, Juhe oats sold from 825¢c down to and’ closing at_32¢c. August outs sold down from 20c to 253c, closing at 28%@28%c. September oats sold down from 28%cto 28 Vessel room was taken to-day for 120,000 bushels of oats. In provisions the movement was somewhat uncertain. Disappointment over May de- liveries, which were in many respects smaller than anticipated, appeared to strengthen the market at the opening and ecarly trading all around was marked by an advance. As the day progressed, however, the feeling changed and with the falling off in trading the improvement witnessed was very gener- ally lost. One o'clock prices in fact’ showed a decline, based on last night's closing, of 214 @5¢ on ]mlk while lard was unchanged to 21¢c lower, und short ribs unchanged to 24c Ligher, AFTERNOON SEss10N—~Wheat low 2, June sold at 825 @sige, fell 2@s2ec, split, closing at S23c.

Cumicaco, May 1.—[Special Telegram to the BEee.|—CarrLe—The actual reccipts of cattle yesterday were about 12,000 cattle, though about 10,000 head driven in during the month were, for some reason, counted as yesterday's receipts, so that this fact makes receipts this week look 10,000 larger than they really were. The market opened slowly this morning. Bids were low. Sellers wanted to raise prices, but they could not do it even on the best and it took hard work to get steady prices for common grades. The boom in the London cattle market was encouraging and ought to have a decided effect upon our market.

Room traders who have been play- ing the bull side ever since tne advance started, realized and took their profits with more freedom than at any time in several weeks. Gould and Sage were both out with bull interviews, the former saying that he was less inclined to be bearish on the situa- tion than ever, ickers are catching on and buying on this kind of bait and those who started the bull movement are selling and preparing to stand from under. Shorts, who hove fought the advance, came in freely, One large trader bought in a heavy block of $t.
