AR T T AR ST i s SRR i o i, THE OMAHA DAILY THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Business In a Mixed Con- dition, CORNCLOSES AT SMALL ADVANCE Another Active Day In Oats—Provis- fons About Hold Their Own— The Oattle Run Contin- ues to Increase. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. Cnicaao, April 12.—(Special Telegram to Tur Beg.|—Satisfying rains over the major portion of the winter and spring wheat arcas, and the low barometer in the egtreme north- west, where drouth nas caused some appre- hension, and the discouraging cables, caused & weak opening in the wheat market, but as the decline induced quite a number of local shorts to accept, the profits and offerings on the break were not_excessive. The market 1oon steadied and showed siens of reviving strength, The May future was bid up sharply by McDonald and others, July future selling rapidly up to 83i4c after the room traders, who were short, had covered, and the out- wndegmarkets evinced no ndication of re- sponding to the advance. The demand abated, and a short period of inaction fol- lowed. There being nothing in the situation w alarm the larger shorts, the offerings gradually increascd, growing in volume as the market declined, until a flood of long and short wheat deluged the pit. The shiod rel'ance of the buli party has been the oversold condition of the July fu- ture, but as the short_interest is mainly pro- fessionul and financially strong, they are not sasily frightened into covering the new crop delivery, with such spiendid promise of an early and nbundant scason. There were vigorous sellers on every hard spot, until July touched S1i{c, and much long stuff came out on the way down. The market ap- peared to have some recuperative powers when free from the pounding of the bear leaders, but after working back to 8215c, the final onslaught by the Jones-Kennett crowd forced the price to S13{7@S1%c. There were anxious shorts in the'old crop futures, and confident bears in the new, and while the former bid anxiously for what was a very scarce article, the latter opened the sluices and about drowned the market with July wheat. The closing prices showed the result of this mixed condition of affairs, May and Junu&mlnlnl from 13cto 15c, while July closed 1c lower than it did yesterday. The market for corn opened steady, and under the fair demand advanced and caused some uneasiness to the shorts, who were in- duced to buy some, When their wants were supplied the feeling became dull and prices a trifle easier, Shipments by lake are now likely to reduce the stocks here, the outward movement to-day and yesterday being on a liberal scale. The foréign markets continue to be quoted steady to firm for American corn, and orders at_the scaboard on foreizn account are reported to be equal to the offer- ings of vessel room, There was less activity In_trade than was the case on the two pre- ceding days, and the business done was like- wise largely on local account. The fluctua- tions were narrow, and in the end only a small fraction in advance of the closing figures of the day before. In_ oats another active day was noted with a full cent decline in May the feature of trade. The recent weak- ness in this cereal evidently brought out n lot of stop orders, ~where mar- gms were exhausted, and as a result there was to-day a general selling by the crowd. After the steady opening at 25lc, May declined to 24, owing to a lack ot support aside from that given it by the snorts. ‘Ihere was a_sharp demand around the inside, with liberal business recorded on the down grade. It was not generally be- deved that the clique were doing much. June and July were quict and relatively much _steadier than May, while cash oats shared the weakness, with No. 2 regular of- fered late n the day at 24c. Provisions about held thew own. The day's range of prices was pretty much the samo as that of yesterday. The fluctuations were limted and the actual changes made were without significance, Pork and short ribs, in fact, were quotably unchanged at the ciose, while'in lard the final quotations indi- cated a decline of only 2ic. CHIOAGO LIVE STOC Cnicaao, April 12.—[Special Telegram to Tnk Ber.|—CATTLE—The weather is rainy, foggy and gloomy. The run continues to in- cgease, and now shows 12,000 more than for the same time last week. Trade was not as active as for the past four days, and prices again ruled a shade lower, but on the other hand anything in the light, handy classes so0id about as strong as at any time. The chances wore that about everything would be sold. There werea few lots of Texans among the arrivals that sold for all they were ‘worth wheun compared with the prices cur- rent on natives, cow stock, bulls and coarse common stock selling fairly well: Stockers and feeders are about the same as for a week past Choice to uxtrn beoves, £4.40@4.65; medium to good steors, 1,330 to 1,600 1bs, &3.80@4.35; 1,200 to 1,350 1bs, £3.60@1.10; 950 to 1,200 1 10@ 8.70; stockers and ((aulcrs, $2.50@3. cows, bulls and mixed. $2 lKJ(le 40; bulk,$2.40@3.

NEW York, April 13.—[Speciul Telogram to Tnr Bgee.|—Srtocks—The action mn the stocks at the opening to-day was just tne opposite of the preceding days. There was B spurt of activity, but first prices were 1§ W 3 lower than at the close yesterday. This loss was followed by insignificant de- clines the first half hour, while later there was a change of feeling and ssufficient reac- tion to put prices at 11 a. m. about as at the opening. In the early decline San Francisco and Reading suffered the most, losing 3¢c each from the cpening. The feature of the morning was anotber bulge of 15¢c in Sugar Trust, which was as quickly lost. The only shares on the list showing fair animation the first hour were Atchison, Union Pacifio, Reading and Grangers. The firm feeling which was noticeable at 11 o’clock held until a better buying movement resulted in a strong upward tendency throughout the list, the advances amounting to ¥ per cent in mariy active securities, While Rock Island and Burlingtou led the list with gains of 1 and 1% respectively, St. Paul and Atchison were also well advanced. There was little reaction from tho best figures at noon, with the market active and firm, The strength shown in stocks about noon did not hold, and later there was a gencral lotting down of prices, especially those which made fair ad- vances before 12 o'clock, and the closing prices were but i{ to 3¢ better than the open- ing figures and about the same as at tue close yesterdny. ‘I'here was a net gain 1§ in Bur- lington, # in Lackawauna and Reading, with ¥ loss in Louisville & Nashville and slight losses in Missouri Pacific, St. Paul and Union Pagific. Atchison closed 3 oft frop tho top and 3§ lower than yesterday. The total sales were 278,500 shares.

Acres upon acres of the finest pine timber are being consumed and all efforts to check the progress of the flames are futile ‘The scene at night s indescribably grand. At Campbell's ledge the fire reached its climax, from the base of the mountain to its summit being literally one vast sheet of flame, resembling a cone. Great numbors of small game are being burnt out of the woods, o o Mrs. Langiry's Luck.

A lace curtain caught from an oil stove used by dressmakers and the window casings were s00n ablaze. Engines wero soon on hand and the flames were quenched. Two seam- stresses were severely burned about the hauds and arms trying to pull down the burning curtains. 2he pecuniary loss will be §300 or §900. —— Big Haul for Burglars.
