i P TR THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SATURDAY. APRII Drd THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, Wheat in a Stam of Dullnees and Uncertainty. CORN BUSINESS VERY WEAK. Onts Take a Down Tarn—A Stronger Feeling Developed in Provisions— Cattle Unsatisfactory — Hogs Active and Stronger. CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, * Cnicaco, April 20 .—(Special Telegram to Thr Ber,|—The wheat market was in a state of duliness and uncertainty to-day Curbstone traders broko the price yesterday afternoon 'gw?ic after the voard adjourned. “The opening this morning was soft at a loss of J@jgc from yesterday's closing range. The first quotations were 80l¢c for May, B1igc for June, and 8¢ for July. The crop month got very little lower, but July worked off to the first oulging to 7 On the break the market looked sick, and there was frec dumping of the stuff around the bottom, some sales being made at 8% @ 78ge. The outside markets did not sympa- thize with the weakness here to any great extent, New York being especially firm. It was noticed, also, thap wheat buyers were actively picking up all tash vroperty they could gather in at advantageous terms, Hold- ers of receipts found no dificulty indisposing of their goods at a premium over May, special lots being in special request. It is noted, too, that a good share of this quiet business is being done on private terms, which is taken as evidence that wheat s wanted on shipping orders and not for speculative purposes. “Yellow tissue” re- ports that 160,000 bushels of wheat is being loaded into vessels here, and that the grain will be moved out of port before to-morrow night. There is a great deal of indefinite- ness to the gossip that is floating around as to the operations in the spot wheat market a8 to the quantitics bought and prices paid, but the hardening tendency of the near by end of the wheat market is plainly distin- guishable. Through it all cables were gen- erally firm and higher, and Beerbohm quotes a e advance with active demand for “ieargoes off coust.” Foreigners are reportod o0 be buying liberally of May and J\lnu in New York, and foreign bids for round lots are rr]mrud tc be in the hands of tlm commission merchants in Chicago @1c below the current quotations. \\hun the unloading of wheat bought on the bear bulge yesterday was finished, the new crop of futures did better. The price of July gradually worked up o ¢ and then _with more suow of spirit sailed up to 791 @70 c. The offeriygs were heavy above 7ve, how- ever, and the markeu settled back to that vicinity and fractionally under. The closing ‘was on the soft order at 78%¢ or about l;c under yesterday’s close. Drives & Lind- blom were conspicuous buyers late in the session, but Hutchinson made a sudden drive at the market, seiling over 1,000,000 bushels in about fifteen minutes. Neariy every markot except Chicago closed higher than yesterday. May wheat ranged at S0'g (@Slc, and closed at 80'jc. June ranged at B0Jg@8135c and closed at 814 ¢, The corn market was very weak. The de- cline in wheat at the opening and the brilliant weather were the ostensible caus for tue lower prices which were soon the opening prevailing in the corn g The chief cuuse of the depression, however, was the number of orders on the market to scll out May contracts before their maturity necessitated the acceptance of the property. Much Leavier receipts than yesterday’s esti- mates were likewise an additional cause of the heaviness, which was increased by the estimuted receipts for to-morrow off402 cars. The foreign markets were very firm, and the outward wovement from here was on a large scale, charters bing made to-day for 459,000 bushels. The closing half hour's business was fairly active, but the market was very weak and at its lowest point at the clo The decline was more marked and the fecl- ing weaker than for a very long time before. The loss since yesterday’s close was May, June and July, ¢ in Augustand Sic in Beptember. That oats were unqualfiedly weak was undeniable, and after opening at a fraction below yesterday's latest prices a steady downturn occurred, until a decline of fully 1c was scored, at which time enough buying orders appearcd to stop further shrinkage. Added to the lowering influence of the big receipis for to-morrow, placed at 380 cars, there was liberal selling of long oats, with some of this attributed to the clique, und the little supvort aside Trom that was given by the shorts. May opened I{c lower at 22 and sold off to 21, with pretty genoi buying at the inside” prices. Juné declined to 2%5e, and July was at about o premium. Car lots to go 1o store were lclnn\cly weak, ‘with sales of No. 2 at 21J¢e. The reccipts largely exceeded the estimates aud included 96 cars of the contract grades. In provisions a strong feeling was de- veloped. Tho improvement in hogs mado the bears conmservative, and 0 higher prices for that product were by another appreciation. The upward turn, nowever, was quite moderate, In pork the advance established was limited to il{@loc, and in both lard and short ribs. to 2} OIIILA\GO hlV E STOOK. Chioaco, April 26.—[Special Telegram to Tue Brer.]—Catrie—Trade was slow and unsatisfactory from the opening to the close. ‘There was little or no change in prices as compared with yesterday, and perhaps fewer cattle were left unsold than on Wednesday and Thursday, but general trade was anything but satisfactory for salosmen, There was a liberal run of Texans, about all of which sold at about the former prices. Cow stock, although not aquotubly lower, shared in the general weak- ness, and the poorer grades, old canners and such, sold a shade lower. Veal calves are not wanted. ome poor lots sold as low as $1.00@1.50 per hend, and best at £3.00@3.25, Btockers and feeders were in fair demand and steady.

New Youk, April 26.—[Specisl Telegram to Tus Bee.| rocks—The condition of the stock market this morning indicates that there can be no material improvement in prices or the volume of business until the approuching holidays are out of the way. The murket opened with 4 show of strength, snd in @ few stocks botter prices were re corded. London again came bigher than the closing prices yestorday, but there was no generul response here. ‘Thero was a disposi tion to realize profits on the temporary bulge and the carly prices were not maintaned. The stocks showing activity were Louisville & Nashville, Reading, Northwestern and Atchison, Atchison and Louisville showed declines of 3{@5% per cent early, Pullman gained 3¢ per cont, wud Manitoba over 1 per cent. The dullness which follewea toward Doon was accompanied by a heuvy feeling and further slight losses in many shares Atchison, after a rally to the best prices of the morning, went off to 413¢, or }4o under the close last night, The prices generally were at the bottom atnoon. The stock market showed no rallying power to-day after the strength from the covering by tho shorts early was ended. The later news was bearish, and while there were no sharp breaks prices sagged to the close. Two things were againct the market, the taking of gold for export and the poor showing of earnings by the western roads, especially the Uuicn Pacific, The conspicuous stocks were Manitoba and Pullman, closing 2 and 1 per cent respectively over last night. The net losses for the day were Union Pacific, Chicago Gas, 1¢; St. Paul and Atchison, 4 each; Burlington, Cotton Oil, Louisville, Missouri Pacific, Northwestern, New Eng land and Rock Island, 1§ each. Tennessee Coal lost 1'5. The total sales were 162,305 shares. The following were the closing quotations: 48 regular 12014 Northern Pacific.. 25§ 45 conpons ...120 xlopr(‘f« ed......

Friday, Avri) 26, 1880, To!day's eattle market was something of a disappoiutment, for at the opening operators goneraily were looking for a better market, and were pricing their cattle accordi A weaker feeling, however, was very quickly developed, and tho market became slow and lower. The heaviest shippers were doing nothing, and the vackers were light buyers, At midday a large proportion of the dressed beef and shipping steers were still the yards unsold. [u the afternoon a few cattle changed hands, but the market closed slow and about 10¢ lower, As has been the rule of late, the wly of butchers’ stock was light und it sold all right; that is, fully as good us yesterday. There were o fresh re- ceipts of feeders, but a few stockers held over changod hands, \ore are no new features in the trade in this kind of cattle, the dema continues good and prices about st y, OMAHA L1V Hogs. ‘There was quite a boow in the hog market to-day, and instead of being slow and lower, as has beea the case the greater part of the weei, it made &u_advance of a strong 10, The buyers acted us if they wauted the hogs and they got aown to business early in the morning, and were not long in cmnng the yards, paying prices that were a big 10¢ higher than yesterday's market.
