THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MARCH 5. 1830 THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. An Appreciable Recovery In May Wheat. CORN MORE ACTIVE AND HIGHER. Provisiong Oven the Week With a Bullish Tendency—Oattle Slow and Values Weaker— Hogs Brisk. CHICAGO PRODUC March 4.~[Special Teleeram to Tir Brr,]—The course of wheat to-day was conformatory of the theory that the largo holdars had not let go their grip and that the henviest salling Saturday was by the bears and raiders. There was no pressure of wheat, on the market to-day except on Soft spots, and the offerings then wero very largely ot the kind deseribed and known as “short wheat!'—*speculative offerings,” the com- mercial writers call it—and it 18 character- fzed as 'wind," in the parlance of the pit. When wheat thus used as a club was bought in it was usually at a loss. The spirit of the foreign news was encouraging to the holders and the rapid consumption of the domestic stocks is also consoling to the bulls, Thel are certain little irregularities in the values at several markets of this country that they would like to see reconciled, but as the re ceipts at this and other dear mar kets in the mnorthwest are not yet overpowering, the bulls arc partially but tiey can yet sce of higher prices, The recovery in this market from the point of extreme depression Saturday was about 2c, May displaying rela- tively the greatest recuperative power, The openting price was $1.030, with ‘sules immed- intely afterwards at $1.03%;. It then went to 1081, where good supporting orders were struck. The'market then soared to $1.04% This was within about ahalf hour of the opening. Fluctuations subscquently were within a range of £.03°¢0w1.04%. The mur- ket went below $1.04 repeatedly, but it would not stay there. The average price the hour was above §1.0415 and g ing the price was above $1.041¢, MARKET, Cicao, e close was $1.04 There was considerable outside business transacted in wheat, but it was chiefly in Jul, The fluctuations in that month were frot 0% ¢ to §1 opening und the O1'¢, or identicaliy wilh Saturday. May, on tke contrary, was 3{@1c higher. Hutchinson was a good buyer earl) and a seller at ana above £1.04%. Vennett & Kent were the most conspicuous and the lurcest buyers of the session. ‘T'he New York people were also in the market on a moderate scale on the same side. The crowd is probably quite as cprtain to-day that the Fairbank party in wheat as it was Saturday, That the Fai bank party had dumped its lond. It now re- inains to be seen if the major partof tho short interest is net represented by the actual wheat located within a_deliverabie distance of Chicugo. That belief is held by well informed men. The market in corn appears to be L'ulnlm; more interest for the speculative element, and was to-day active. measured -by the ex- treme dullness of two weeks ago. The foreign markets were quoted steady, a though a prominent shipper reccived a dis- pateh from Liverpool in answer to hs in- quiry as to the selling value of Chicago No. 8 in that market, quoting the Liverpool pric uivalent to rA)n, while it is claimed that t ut, to-day’s ‘quotations here would be 134¢ laid down. There was a good shipping dmnnnd notwithstanding, and plenty of ex- port buyers in New York and Baltimore and er fecling here also. An increase of 371,000 bushels in the visible supply was regarded favorably by the bulls, and only about § per cent of to-duy’s receipts beine inspected 1nto No. 2 grade, was also in favor of that side of the market and caused some covering by the shorts. The tone was firm throughout, but there were no new features. The local operators still continue to be the principal dealers. The closing prices to-day ‘were from 'gc to }{¢ in advance of the cul rent values at tho corvesponding time last Saturday. ' Oats were quiet but stronger with a mod- ‘erate trado in May and June. The opening was steady, but owing to the desire to pur- chase on the part of the shorts and the rather hem, offering in May was gradually pushed p Y@iic to 2i3ge. There was but light I.rmhm. at the outside, and with the urgent buying orders unllllh'(l the market fell back a point or two, with June at about a 3gc dis- count, and the other months llull There was a moderate demand for No. 2 oats to go store at 2614« The provision trade opened the week with a bullish tendency. There was no marked increase in the trading, though the business transacted represented a larger amount of outside buying than for any day for some time past. The lurge shortage in winter packing, combined with the good consump tive demand and the export movement, on the reduced stocks for the season, is dently working a revolution in the general feeling regarding the market. Outsiders ar beginning to fuvor the longs in their op tions, while the professional bears consider it advisable to act conservatively for the time being. The changes witnessed in the prices were all on the side of an advance. Iu pork the appreciation estavlished was 221 @ 503 in lard 10¢, and in short ribs TH@L0¢. OHI10AGO LIVE STOOR * Cmicaco, March 4.—|Special Telegram to Tns Bee. |—Carrie—The market to-day was generally slow and values were weaker, The sales were largely at £3.40@3.80. Some early prices on good cattle were stronger but some good salesmen quoted prices H@10¢ lower on all grade The western markets were lightly supplied and were stronger, but the eastern markets were in bad shap At Buffalo to-day the cattle receipts were ex- tremely heavy. The market was the lowest on record for good export steers, wiich sold at §8.75(@4.25. * A few good to choice cattle 8010 hero at $4.95@4,50, but the buyers were generally complaining of the poor quality of the offerings. There were many fat and heavy cattlo lacking in quality, and shere were somo very heavy, but coarse cattle lacking in futness, The general market to-day was unsatisfactory to salosmen.

A general decline of %@dgc followed. Man- hattan, however, exhibited great strength and advanced 8% per cent. The insiders continue to talk very bullish on this property and predict 120 for it in the near future. ‘Western Union also exhibited renewed strongth, and scored an advance of 3§ per cent over Saturday's closing. Later in the sossion the foreign houses began buying Louisville & Nashville quite freely. The excellent showing that this company is mak- ing from month to mouth mukes & cash divi- dend almost certain. The eranger stocks ‘were extremely quiet. © Walker's non-accep ance of the commissionership is & disappoint- ment to the bulls, It is thought, however, that he may be induced to accept, There is said to be a strong bull pool in Northern Pa- eific and Orvegon Railway and Navigation stocks. Cammack and his friends are doing but very little in the market at present. They have no outstanding - contracts they ‘say, either in ‘L'runk line skares or Coalers. . The sprivg-like Veather is still interferivg with the coal trad e more than the companies carc 10 admit.

Oattle. fondag, March 4, 1884, There was more “get up and get” to thé market to-day than there has been for a long time. The buyers acted us if they wanted some cattle and they got out in the morning and bought them, Dressed beef and ship- ping steers, as well as butchers' stock, were in active demand, aud for the first time in a long while the cattle were about all sold be- fore midday. The market was no higher, but it was fully steady and the increased nc' tivity caused & much better fecling to pre- vail in the trade. There were some very good cattle here, and_as high as $3.80 was paid for steers and 82.35 for cows. Feeders were the only kind of cattlo which were slow sale and in light demand. The buyers evi- dently want the feeders at less money than they have been paying. Hogs. Toe market was active at an advance of 5 @10¢, and the few hogs here were sold early in the morning. The light hogs sold mostly at $.85, with two loads at #i.373¢ aud tne :e;zy liogs largely ut $4.90, With u few at 1 Sheep. There were plenty of sheep here and the warkes was fairly active at about steady prices. Some b cavy westerns brought $1.25, and some pretty falr Nebraskans $4.00 Recoipts.
