THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY NOVEMBER 3, 1888, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Extreme Nervousness Characterizes Trading in the Wheat Pit. CORN RULES SOMEWHAT HIGHER. Liberal Speculation in Oats — Pro- visions Are Quiet But Firm — Cat- t'~ €1ow and Unsatisfactory— dogs Fairly Active. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmicaco, Nov. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tur Ber.|—The wheat market was nervous 0 the verge of hysterics to-day. May opened »t $1.15K@1.1614, sola off to #1.15%{, and was quickly bulled by local scalpers to $1.17%¢. When the same scalpers undertook to realize the profits the market broke back to $1.15@ 116, For the remainder of the day, say two hours, the price fluctuated violently be tween $1.15}@1.16% until near the close, when it jumped to §1.133;. To show the ex- cessive nervoustess of the market one inci- dent may be cited. At 11:5 May wheat was $1.1€)4; by 11:50 the price had gone to &1.15%¢ and back to §1.16%, all in a period of three minutes. That was the way prices bobbed and sawed all about through the session, though perhaps not often with such lightning rapidity, @t still fast enough to keep traders awake. In negotiating the purchase or sale of a single 5,000 bushel lot brokers in almost innuwmerable instances had to chase the market or lead ¢ or %;c. The market was in @ whirl. One broker who had limited orders to fill, likened himself to the convivia) gentleman who stood in the middle of the room and waited until his bed whirled past and then jumped for it. By waiting he found 1t possible to fill any kind of order and he saved lungs and vocal organs. But every- body wasu't built that way, and the pit was thronged from beginning to end with the ex- citement of anxious trad Ou the upturn there was no wheat for sale, comparati speaking, and on the downturn the reverse was the case. Trading in December was quite active. Quite a trade has sprung up ia January, but, of course, operaiions in May overshadowed everything cise. There There was no trouble in_getting action there, The crowd was intensely bearish to-day and s0ld when buying orders were scarce or the market looked weak, vet every time the price got below $1.16 the stuff was absorbed. Brokers bad the greatest difficulty in getting wheat on breaks, though a flood of it seemed 1o be pouring out continual Louis was a rampant seiler early in the day, and several large local houses were also conspicuous sel- lers. Operations were of considerable magni- tude and gave rise to the report that a syndicate had been formed among certain parties to seil “Old Hutch” all he wanted. It was stated with all degrees of positiveness that Hutchinson was a_big buyer on soft spots. w York was also a steady but not aggressive buyer, and a vast number of small orders sifted in from the outside, There was a larger trade for en- eral public account to-day than on any day for two weeks. Telegraph lines were kept hot. Hutchinson gave out ‘‘confidential” 1ips in the most public way possible that this was a low day on wheat and that the market would close strong. The last end of his tip was verified. The truth or falsity first part of it remain be prov cember left off at £1.16} To-day's receipts of corn closely to yesterday’'s prediction, and were therefore of no significance in iufluencing prices. At the opening cable news was unfav- orable, but there was still_an export inquiry at New York at present firures which ex- pressed itself in the taking of 1 Near deliveries wi the start, but May was fairly firm and steady. ovember was sold on outside orders early ana was also worked moderately on that side by some local operators, butas the latter seemed to do more in the way of offering to scll than in actual sales some’ suspicion was created and this, helped by a free shipping movement, caused an advance to follow first quotations. Trading was not heavy and was devoid of life or vigor, but after a season averaging weaker than ' yesterday’s closing prices, influenced by continued damp, warm weather and the later strength of wheat closed fractionally higher than on the pre- ceding day, November being the oniy excep- tion, and it was kept down by the action of a wmlnem operator who to-day appeared to selling quiet], The close of November was at 88%c, yesterday's resting pric cember closed at ISl @S¢ against yesterday, and May at 38%{c over the last quotations of yesters Outs were active in a specula y, with liberal buying of May by leading opera: tors, it is generally believed, to cover shorts, the day's business in that future approxi- mating 325000 bushels. The feeling wus nearly steady, though tending to easincss ‘with May around 2587¢@29¢c, and near months quiet at ubout yesterday's closings. The es- timates in current receipts show little vari- ation from the recent average. No. store was quiet with light trading at which was }jc easier. Provisions were a little slow. Cash buyers repeated their moderate purchases of the Preccdmg days of the week, and in a specu- ative way there was no general trading. Operators, as a rule, leaned to the conserv tive side, yet were prevented from experi- encing o ‘sharp advance by the continued selling of Hutchiuson, who took advantage of every advance to unioad some of his Lold- ings. Still, as a rule closings were higher than yesterday. In pork the day's advance was 81,@!10c3 in lard for the several deliv- eries, cxcept May, 234@be, and in Januray J4¢. In short ribs the price de- ———— CHICAGO LIVE STOCHKH . Cricaco, Nov. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tur Beg.|—-Carrie—Business was slow and un- satifractory from opening to close with prices about the same as yesterday for any- thing good or useful. Politics had a good deal to do with the unsettled condition of trade, republicans making big display in the exchange building and the democrats soon after showing their strength 1n numbers and lung power. The few natives on sale made about the same as yesterday, and salesmen who had prime No. 1 rangers claimed they were making a shade more money, but the great bulk of medium and common natives and rangers sold fully as low as any day this wecek, if not really lower, Native butchers stock never sold lower than during this weck and was down to low water mark today. Common canning Texans are also down to the lowest prico this season. There was nothing new in the stocker and feeder trade, including western cattle; choice beeves, $5.25 dium to good steers, 1350 to 1500 Ib @4.55; 1200 to 1550 lbs, $3.75@4.50 Ibs, $3.00@4.00; stockers and feoders, ! 753,30 bulls and mixeq, $1.10@ 805 bull 10. The market was lutted with canuing stock; steers, §2.15@ 75; cows, $1.50@2.00; western rangers, $3.00@4.25. Hocs—DBusiness was fairly active with an upturn of about a nickel all round. Best mixed sold largely ut $5.60, and common at $5.45@5.50. A few lots of fancy heavy sold at 85.7(@35.75; one or two at $5. Light sold largely ut §5.50@5.00, and a single sort at §5.60@5.70.

Cattle Friday, Nov. 2, 1888, The cattle market was dull, and not only aull but weak, and there were hardly enough cattie here of any Kind to make & mar- ‘There was a great plenty of common stuff, such as no one wanted. Good beef cattle, good feeders and good butchers {stock was entirely wanting, aside from a small bunch or two. Quite a few cattle were sold, howaver, before the close but there was no life to the trade, and it was drag from the time the market opened until it closed. Hogs. The hog market experienced a drop of 5@ 10¢ from yesterday's prices, which puts the market back where it Was two days ago. The quality of the nogs was better than it has been during the past few days, which makes the sales show less decline than there really was. Ouno very choice load reached $5.4.
