HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, Wheat Started at a Laggard's Pace, But Olosed Boiling. WEAKNESS THE FEATURE IN CORN Oats Much More Active and Weaker ~Provisions Suffer Another De- Cattle Vairly Active. pression CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Telegram to with able Chicaao, Feb, 7.—[Spy Tor Bee,|—Wheat started out to-d the notable lack of enthusiasm notd yesterday, and trading around the opening Wwas on a basis of 99g@®c for May., Out side oraers were few in number and incon siderable as 1o importance. Apparently the temper of the crowd was bearish and the market secmed destitute of snap or force. The local interest, too, ingged, and the day promised to be uneventful and slow. The bles indicated steadiness abroad, that was all. The outside domestic markets were dull and dragging. The weather was the only obtrusive bull feature, and not at first have much effect in the of speculative sentiment, Soon, howev report was received that 25,000 bushels of flour had been sold at Minneapolis for export. This report, so far as the export part of it wert, was afterwards denied, though the re cent sale of 25,000 or 30,000 barrels to Ameri can jobbers was confirmed. The news turned the Chicago wheat market, however, and the price of May worked up to #1.00 Then me an indefinite report, which was not conflrmed from any source, that the stocks of flour on the 1st of February would show o reduction of 500 ba s from January 1. This, as before stated, scemed to have no father, but is possibly Ivance tip from Bradstreets, Then the action of the Indiun- apolis millers’ convention in removing the restriction upon the milling output v Jugged in as a bullish incident gomg to prov the theory of flour scarcity and an improving demand from the trade. Later in the day reports of crop damage multiplied and added to the excitement. ports should flow for a time though it is yet too early to form any intelligent juagment as to the extent of the damage done. It may be set down as cer- tain, however, that winter wheat, exposed as it is, will not be benefited as wo hgve been having, and®that s are very apprehensive of scrious injury. The plant is in a dangerously forward state all through the western states, All of these things tended to make the shorts nervous and to stimulate speculative investment, The market livened up under the combined influence of these various Bullish notes and it kept boiling during the last half of the session. The pace was set by Bloom, who was a big buyer under £1.01, and the shorts made most of the clamor there- after. From §1.00%¢ the price broke baci ife, and on the next spurt $LOI'; was reached. The mayket worked back to $1.011 and advanced buoyantly to #1013, Be tween 12 and 1 o' it struck £1.01% oncc and during the last hour ranged mainly $1.0114@1.01%. e was touched two or three times, and the tone of the mar- ket scemed very strong ‘‘through and through,” as one geatleman put it. The close for May was $1O1%. While May wheat was establishing a gain of 13gc, July advanced }ge. July oponed at 59%¢, ranged 10 80% @907y ¢, and closed at the outside. rade in this delivery was rather larger than y, and the “outside s it to'be on the inc especially notable was the sca fering when the market was weakests Early in the day very little property pressed for sale, and during the last two hours buy- ers bad to bid for what they wanted. Con- sidering the volume of noise and the general excitement, the amount of trading was com paratively light. The clamor was to buy. Chicago is once more cls and decidedly in the lead, Itisr y the highest we tern market by from e to Se. There was again some activity in the corn market, but values reached a lower plane, particularly for the more remote deliveries. "The improved inspection which the present ‘weather is expected to bring about gives no immediate sjgus, as to-day’s returns showed only 2 cars of No. 2, out’ of #0 inspected. ‘Ihe clearances yesterday from the Atlantic ports were very light compared with the re- cent average, but 1t was helped by the clear- ing from New Orleans to Liverpool of 60,000 bushels. Tho Liverpool market was quoted dull, and prices there werelower, The chief cause, perhaps, influencing the selling pres- sure was the impression, which has become general, that sample corn which now only 'inspects as No. 3 will in May make good No, 2. There wero some rallies interspersed with the general dow: wird course. When Ma rst reached 8tc @ many stop-loss orders, and also » many buying orders, which held the market for a while, but the weight of the offerings again prevailed and compelled still lower prices and held the market down to the low- ©st point of the day at_the close. The de- cline was most marked in !\hl\' but weak- ness all around was the prevaling feature of the entire day. Trading was fairly ac- tive, price changes, as already indicated, bewg wuch moro marked than has lately been the ¢ Oats were much more active and weaker, with the trade confined to May. in that month aggregated a m or more at the general price of 2 ok tong daveloped lata that the buying was chief covering shorts, Nothing of importance wi done in changing May into June, with the latter month quotable at about ';¢ discount. The trading m cash oats was mostly by sam- ple, with No. 2 regular nominally weaker at 2437 (@35¢, and car lots to go to store at 2@ 2b3sc. A largely increased trade was re corded in May during the last ten minutes, with heavy offerings, causing a further de- cline of 4o to 2ice. Provisions suffered another general de- pression. The downward turn was not quite %0 severe as on some of the former dayvs of the week, yet it was sufficient to excuse holders and scllers for being dissatisfied with the marke! rea ver, Was accom- panicd by activity, though tho trading witnessed was mostly on local ac- count. Baldwin wus said to be the largest individual operator. Hogs were in large supply and lower.

Common, thin and coarse cattle were in liberal supply and sold slowly at barely steady figures. The market for good cattle had more of an stedge" on it, without being quotably differ- ent.

Editor Childs on James Gordon Ben- nett's Latest Journalistic Venture. “The Herald,” states a dispatch of Satur “was published simulta- neously in the three great cities of the worl New York, London and Par It is not to be assumed however, says the Philadelphia Public Ledge that the vespective editions of this great journal were but reprints of each othe They were, on the contrary, similar only in that they were all 1.~|.m by the same enterprising publisher, James Gordon Bennett jr., that they wero all |vnn|ul in English, and that they .|.l conty all that was most sentient and interesting in the news of the world, The Paris newspaper w distinetive as that of Londo or even as that of New York: all the issues were cosmopolitan in the broadest meaning of that word, and each of them was a not more for Americans than part of mankind that is fa- air with the grand oid Anglo-Saxon In a notable leading article ished in the Paris edition of the ald on January 22, it is said: *T'he ild to-day—if we may not say it without vanity—the Herald of to-day is omnipotents amd further on in the me article, occurs the following re- awrding American influence upon the world: “The journalism of the future must recognize Great Dritian (the United States)as a dominant factorin the de- velopment of A Saxon and Anglo- American civilization, The trend of events is towards that better under- standing between nations which will, we trust, make war impossible. Amer- ica has no material interest to be se- cured at the expense of the material in- tevests of the British empive. And as the Englisi people come o understand the purposes and possibilities of the Ameriean vepublie, it will be found that the interests common to both countries E ndly and not otherwise.” tion of that b John Russell s is the deelar: Young. In the course of an interview Mr. Hall, the London represent the Herald, that gentleman gives some interesting imformation about the lish Herald: He says: “Although the provrictors and many of the write will be American, the tone of of the paper will ho cosmopol tan and as attractive to John Bull ¢ to Johnathan. Of course a very gr feature will be daily cable accounts of vents in Canada, Mexico, the United States and all parts of America—for in- stance, of the doings of congress, of the ate legislatures. of society, of the financial, artis nd dramatie lields and of stivping oceurrences on the other side of the Atlantie. But these will be treated in 4 manner to win the atten- tion of the European resident as of the American or dian tourist or col- onist.” Having been asl the editor with d who were to form ; Hall replied: “In stric ical ph there will be no editor. Thereis a stock company from which casts will be successiv made, so as to accord with the aday bilities for roles as these demand atten- tion. Each member of the stafl does his best toward the full excelience of the daily performan But so far as the public may demana an editor to ale about, he will be found in Joh a journalist of a quarte century experience the gentleman who was General Grant's campagion de voyage around the world and also Uni- ted States minister to China, In our Foreign Budget of to-day we have given further p: culars of thi mple of American ente o abroad. It is, probably, a fitting opportunity to say something reg vd- ing the American Herald—the New York Herald—of which all the world know: This newspaper has been one of the most influential educators which the country has happily enjoyed for half u century. It is now in a sense than it ever was an indefatig collector and disseminator of the news and not of one country, but of all ac- cessible countries, and of some coun- tries generally thought inaccessible. The Herald explores the univ »in search of news, and it finds and pub- lishes it from the north poie and from the burning plains of the Dark Conti- nent. The »8 Gordon Bennett of to-day has as eager a thivst and as keen ascent for news as had his father in the earlier days of the Herala. The son gathers more news than his father did, for the reason that the field is broader and the facilities of communi- cation move perfect. 1le has the in- stinet of news, and henee the popular- ity of the Herald as a newspaper grows at home and abroad. It is needed, as one of the great means of popular edu- cation. It makes the politics, the art, the literature, tne science, the religion, the world's daily happening, g or small, the common knowledge of all people who speak the [English tongue. Itisnot only a thorough, buta most diseriminating newsgatherer, and the reader of every issuc Herald s it aside better informed because of his reading of it. Of the Her may be said—without abuse of that much-abused word **gr tisa great newspaper. The whole English nation should congratulate themselves that Mr, Bennett has given them the luxury of a genuine newspaper, - - may attend business ventures never attends the Dr. Bull's Cough Uncertaint, and enterpr s, but it prompt administration of Syrup, Price 25 cents, My sore ran in the night, and my soul re- fused to be_comforted.”’ “Poor fcllow! of course it did.
