THE OMAHA DAILY BEE DAY, MARCH 19. 1889, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. A Slight Decline in the Wheat Futures. CORN VALUES A SHADE LOWER. Oats Narrow and Moderately Active ~A Weak Feeling Develops in Provisions—Cattle Demand Only Féir—Hogs, OHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Cmioaao, March 18.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—The wheat market opened strong at from %c to %c higher than it closed on Saturday, with May quoted at 973cand July 873c. 1t sold oft about lc without any unnecessary waste of time and then rallied fractionally. May soon took an- other plunge, going from 07!4c¢ to 957(c, but July held very steady around 861{@%63c. These quotations proved to be the inside for the day. The weakness during the first half of the day was due to the financial troubles ib Paris and to the general rains throughout the winter wheat district. The collapse of the Copper Syndicate bank was reported in a varicty of ways, and an extensive failure in London as the result of the great break in copper was also reported. These rumors tended to disturb the foreign and seaboard markets and the effect was re- flected quickly upon the prices here. Before noon the visible supply statement was complete. It shows a de- crease in everything, wheat leading with 87,000 bushels reduction. F'rom the time it was posted the market firmed up. May ad- vanced to 97}¢c and July to 88%¢c,where they st0od at 12 o'clock. There was some realiz- ing arouna these prices, and values subsided slowly. May worked back to #6!4¢ and July to £6; On the down grade the market look weak, and even when it turned uj once more, there dia not scem to be much enuine strength to it. There was a well de- gnafl impression that 1t was pegged, and that if it was not for the muscular support the market would naturally go lower. Bad financial news continued to drift in from the east. The stock market was weak, and late grain cables reflected the prevailig foreign nervousness. At the same time New York reported that the foreign buying had checked the threatened decline in wheat and that the local feeling there was less bearish in conse- quence. The other domestic markets were soft and lower, and the prevailing sentiment still favors that side. The closing range ‘was 061¢c for Moy and 86}{0 for July. This is % oft in May and ’c in July, 'The vol- ume of trud(n%ln the pit was not above the average, and the dealings were about equal m both the active futures, May and July. The fluctuations were less violent in the lat- ter month, however, and the trade was less subject to nervous spasms. Hutchinson and Fairbank were buying on soft spots. There was a weak feeling at the opening of the corn market, caused by the liberal re- ceipts, the favorable weather, and the im- proved grading as shown in the inspection returns. The estimated receipts for to-mor- row of 770 cars was an additional cause for ‘weakness, and the market ruled weak uatil the change in the visible supply was posted showing a decrease of 308,000 bushels, where an increase had been confidently looked for. The reaction which occurred after the post- ing of the visible supply figures was lnaL towards the close, May resting at 85 Whioh la. & ehade thase. Meruriayse. hael rice. June and July were likewise about © lower at the close, spot corn also closing @t about the same reduction. Oats were only moderately active within a noarrow and unimportant range. The feeling was_ nearly steady, with fair buying orders for Moy and June, while there was no pres- sure to sell. A round lot of the latter went at 25%oc, or ata shght declirfe, with later o steadior toue developed. May ranged at 25 @25%{c, and the other mouths were duil Choice' cars of No. 9 to go in store sold at u%{a with the trading chiefly by sample, the Srovman trado a weak feeling was developed, notwithstanding that hogs came forward in smaller numbers than the opora- tors generally expected, and prices for the same ranged @ littlo hl; er. The product was in a slumpy state. The buyers on the late advance , were Ifree sellers, speculative Gfferings wer® larger than the market was able to ubsorb, and lower prices prevailed all around. Based on Saturday’s closings, the day's net decline in pork was 22)e, in lara 2}4¢, and in short ribs 5c. OHIOAGO E STOCK. Cnicaco, March 18.—|Special |Telegram to Tur Ber.|—CarrLe—The demand was only fair, in fact business ruled rather slow until late in the day, and the general market closed only about steady, but nearly all the eattle were sold. There was the usual and commonplace remark flying around, “that anything good was a shade higher,” but that shade was 8o famnt that it could only be seen by those enjoying extremely good eyesight. The shippers were talking of the slow mar- ket in the east, and the dressed beef opera- tors related many tales about the effect of the Leuten season and the plethora of the chill- ing rooms. Cow stock of all kinds was slow and uncertain. Country shippers are again cautioned against paying prices that look like 2 small margin when murketed, as the same is_likely to prove a losing venture. Veal calves are slow and cheap. Nothing going on in the stocker and feeder trade.

New Yorg, March 18.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee)—-8rocks—Those who looked for any material improvement in the tone of the stock market were the only ones much disappointed this morning. It is true the return of strength noticed in the grangers and a few other stooks before the close Sat- urday was noticed in the opening prices to- day, which were X to 3 per cent over Satur- day's close. Thoe strength was but tempo- rary and adverse advices from Paris soon dispelled hope and depressed prices. The talk of pools for the protection of stocks and ‘bonds proved useless also. In a short time the only bulls left were longs. They were cheered by the early buying orders in the hands of the commission people and the fact that at the opening the selling was confined to Chicago, and the professional bears, the grangers, bemng’ the fivst to show strength. They were also the first to suffer a los Rook Islund yielded 13; Northwestern, 3 ; Burlington, 3{; Atchison, Oregon Transcon- tinental and New Ergland, somewhat les and most of the list lost small fractions in the first hour. The early trading was largely in @ few stocks,” including St. Paul, North- western and RReading. Later in the day the pressure was felt more especially by the Burlington and Texas Pacific. The Burling- ton & Quinoy declineu 2% from the close on Saturday, touching 96, the lowest point of the year. These depressions were followed by slight gains, but at midday the prices were uniformly lower than at the opening, sod the market quiet. The sales at noon were 130,085 shares. The liquidation in stocks was even miore noticeable the last hour, and long holdings came out frecly. Atthe close it was declared @ decidedly bearish day with predictions that the end of the dochine is not yet. ‘The total sales were 832,647 shares, including Northwestern, 25, Co0jeliock Islaud, 13,000; St Puul, 16,000; Lackawanna, 14,4%.

A drove of western foeders sold at $2.75 but that constituted about all the offerings for that class of cattie. The bulk of all the cattle received changed hands before the clos Hogs. The receipts were extremely light and only about half the number received on Monday of last week wore on sale to-day. With a fair demand and such light offerings the trading was soon over and the hogs were all sold and wel’flhed up at_an early hour in_ the morning, he prices paid were a little stronger than Saturday’s market, but as has been the practice of late, the buyers paid about one price for everything, there beine a range of only bc between the best and the most common loads on the market.
