e g e i i el THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY., MAY 12, 188y, 3 THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. “Shorts” Frightened By a Sudden Spurt in Wheat. SOME VERY BAD CROP NEWS. Corn Stronger and Advancing -Oats Quite Active—Light Trading in Provisions—Hogs and Oattle Brisk. CHICAGO I"Rfll)l!(‘l’) MARKET. Cnicaco, May 1.—[Sp ~[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—Wheat opened jc¢ higher this morning than it closed last night, advancing 3¢c more in less than half an hour and took all the remainder of the morning session to gain Sc more, closing at the top price, It ‘would be safe to say that this upturn was a complete surprise to three-fourths of the local traders, many of whom went home “'short” of wheat last night firmiy believing that the heavy realizing which broke the market yesterday would be continued to-day und that fine growing weather would help depress prices. After the advance once started these same shorts were of great as- sistance in putting prices up. Instead of the bearish news from crops which was expected, everything that came was decidedly bullish, First came reports from the northwest of exceedingly wet weather and temperature below freezing point in the spring wheat country. With the season already very late and seeding not finished this made a very gloomy outlook for spring wheat this year and was the greatest stimulus to early buy: ing. Later came reports of chinch bugs in the southwest a continued dry and hot ‘weather in California with no improvement in the condition of wheat. Another strength- ening feature was found in reccipts at pri mary markets, which were less than for months before. Early public cables quoted a downward tendency to wheat, but this was not confirmed later on and private cables were steady. Exports of wheat amounted to nothing, but of flour they continued fair. American wheat bulls say there can be no objection to foreigners refus- mg to take our wheat unground provided they continue to buy flour, in which there is a profit for American millers, as farmer's wheat. Buying to-day was largely done by commission houses whose clientage is out- sidoe the city. Houses with New York con- nections were good buyers. ‘Che local crowd with the exception of a few pronounced bulls were fighting the advance all the way up. The argument of the bears is that the gov- ernment crop report gives the condition of May, just after the most trying time aud be- fore the rain came, and that there has been & great improvement since, To this the bulls reply that the area plowed up and the recent damage to California crops will more than offset any improvement in condition. July wheat opened at 86c, sold up to 863c, back to 8615@86%c, up to SBi(c, back to SGi{ @SB again, up to 8637c, back to Silge, up to Sic, down'to 863;@S63ge, up to Si'ge, buck to 862¢c, up to and closing at 87'ge. June wheat opened at 8¢, sold up to and closed at Ste. The corn market also was strong, and opened at an advance of I @lgc over last Dight's closing figurcs and ‘made a further K‘In of J§ toll{c for differcnt aeliveries. was strongest because of the covering of short corn-cribbers who had long ago sold for May against corn which they owned and who are now buying in their shorts and selling the more deferred deliveri It is thought that the re- maining short intes May is of this kind. Wet weather has prevented the shell- ing of corn and made grading hazardous or corn would have been d ered. As it is, the only thing cribbers can do is to change over into June and July, and th‘x they are doing. May corn opencd at 57igc, sold from 57% D to 58%e and closed ut 1 ‘o'clock at June corn opened at 5ic, sold up to i SlosoTiALE BB ly dooth L openou. ot ‘uold up to 57c and closed at 507g@dic. ‘The strength in the other grain markets was reflected in oats, which touched the highest prices thus far reached and closed at or about the top. Trade was quite active. May oats sold up from 34c to 85¢, closing at B4Xc. June oats opened at 83lgc, sold atd3ly (@333¢c up to and closing at July oats sold up from 33c to 8337, : August oats s01d from 355g¢ tember from 28¢ to 28}c. In provisions the quiet feeling shown lately was continued. In some respects trade commanded, perhaps, a little more attention, but there was no increase in outside business and the day’s trading, all told, was under an average volume. Still the murket was firm —in fact much firmer than operators ex- pected under the receipts of hogs here and at interior points and better prices were estab- lished. Bused on last night's closing, pork at 1 o'clock showed an advance of 10@12}c and both lard and short ribs b@7ige. AFTERNOON SESSION.—Wheat higher, May closed at 853{c, June closing at S63c.

New Youk, May 11,-- [Special Telegram to Tug Bek.]—S10cks--There was less disposi- tion on the part of speculators to trade to- day and the market was slow. The feeling was neryous and prices fluctuated ruther sharply within & narrow range. The most active property was Jersey Central, which was bought on pointers from the outside, and sdvanced 13¢. Reading also developed con- siderable amumation and advanced 5. Grangers were stronger, but the Vander- bilts were quiet. The reduction of 10 cents on east-bound rates for cattle and 15 cents for sheep was expected to have a depressing effcet, but there did not appear to be enough stock offered to cause a decline of over i, which was followed by ar advauce of 3. The sharp selling of Texas Pacific late yos terday was not continued to-day, and those who were 80 conspicuous in it appeare rather crestfallen and admitted that they lost their heads and sold on the slowness of the governing committee in listing the new $15,000,000 Missouri Pacific loan, The latter stock broke 3 early, but before 1 o'cloc raliied 1 point. It is said that bull took advantage of the rise last we sold most of their. stock and are waiting & chance to buy them back. The report sent by President Cable, of the Rock Island road, that the uorthwestern roads would soon ad vance rates emcouraged the bulls in those securities and they doveloped wore strength The most potent factor of the market during the last hour was the acceptance by the government of § 5 bonds, the entire offerings to-day. This caused a lively scrambling of shorts to cover and and showed that the short interest was larger than was generally expected.
