THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Has a Weak Opaning on Easy Cables. CORN SHOWS LATE FI_RMNESS. A Steong Feeling in Provisions With Prices at Times Irregular— Nothing New in Oattle— Hogs Active. CRICAGO PRODUOCE MARRETS, Ci1oaco, August 27.—[Special Telegram to Tos Bee.]—The wheat market had a weak opening. In *ofices” yesterday afternoon December was bid up to 78%{c, but the open- ing this morning was weak on easy caoles. The European markets did not respond to the bulge on this side, though later Laver- pool cables quoted & small improvement in prices, due to the unsettled condition of the weather in the United Kingdom, The mark- ets over there ure, up to the present, not disturbed over the world's crop deficiency. The importing countries of Burope have big crops, and the feeling is easy for that roa- son. Whatever may occur later on there is no immediate danger of short supplies, The home situation presents bullish features, which are by many consid- ered of greater importance than any figures that may emanate officially or in any other way from any Austrian seed congress, The big field movement of winter wheat is on the ‘wane and stocks at western points of accu- mulationdo not increase as rapidly as could be wished. Indead, at many principal points stocks are actually decreasing. Last week's supplies of contract wheat in this city alone were reduced wore than 800,000 pbushels. The farmers continue to puil back, and even in the spring wheat country they are not rushing forward their grain with the eager- ness that was calculated upon. Trading, began on & basis of 78 for Decom- ber, 77}c for September and 82 for May. December, in which the most busi- ness is done, setiled back to 77%4c and acted very weak. It redovered its tone, howeyer, on incrensed general buying, and the market slowly worked up to 78)gc. That looked 1ike the top for awhile, but the price, after a little reaction, started up again, reaching 788{c, and then with a whoop crossing 7dc and going up to 79c. The top was a full cent above early unticipations. Opinion strengthened that the prelimnary estimates would turn out approximately correct, and there was no disposition to regard them in a friendly way. Then there was a free cover- ing of shorts for local and New York ac- count and rumors of & heavy pur- chase in New York for September shipment. One revort which had believers, though it could not be definitely authenticated, w: that a single order for 1,000,000 bushels had been worked there, ‘To this was attributed a ®oodly proportion of the later strength in the market. The clos- itg of December was 79c, a net gain of 3{c on the day. Sevtember opened at T ‘uc ranged at 70%,(@7Sc, and closed ut August opened at T8¢, ranged at 73{@78050, and closed at 733¢c. There was considerabie changing over of August wheat into Decem- ber during the session. A good business in cash whent was reported, but it was trans- ucted quietly and to some extent under cover. The corn market, after a weak opening, became firm, in sympathy with wheat. The conditions were all favorable to the bears, but the shorts were nervous and sent prices llp September opened at 853¢c, declined to 8’”‘“’ tnen advanced ¥c, and closed at )24c, which is Jyc improvement on yes- terday’s closing figores. ‘The oats market was narrow, but pri averaged a shade tirmer, with 2ood business noted in May around 23c. The posted re- ceipts were less than anticipated and a mod- erate inquiry oxisted, while there was no pressure to sell. For August 20@2’c was H‘ aid, with next month & shade discount. hero was some demaud for No. 2 white, which is selling at 22}{c, and September at No. 2 oats to ko to store sold at 20¢, or Js@X{c improvement. 1n provisions the feeling was quite strong. Prices wereat times somewhat irregular, yet in general trade the underlying tone was far from discouraging for holders. Trading ‘was also fair, though a good share of the fu- ture business transacted whs of a scalping character. September, October and January ‘were again the favorite months. Hutchinson was the largest buyer of pork for near deliv- ery, and in speculative lines lard appeared o' command the most generous support. h buyers made very good purchases, As arule the closing prices all around showed no important change from yesterday's final quotations, September pork rested at a de- cline of 2}4c, while October aud January pork was advanced 2ig¢, and cash and future lurd 2l¢@de. Short ribs closed unchanged to 5¢ higher. CHICAGOU LIVE STOOR. CioAao, August 27.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bes.|—Catrie.—There was uothing new worth noting. The run is light and 6,000 less than this time last week, yot there is 00 perceptible 1mprovement on anything but prime export steers. Common to grassy stock is pot wanted, is hard to sell and a vexation to all concerned. There were about 1,500 range steers on the market, mostly medium snd common, and ouly one lot that aturacted any attention. The Texans num- bered about 4,000, aud generally sold from weak to o shade lower. Native butchers' stock was steady. There were but one or two buyors.

New York, August 27.—|Spacial Telogram to Tum Bge|—Stocks—The inflation and strength in stocks vesterday started more than the usual amount of gossip up town last night. The action was considered most healthful, as there were few evidences of manipulation. The doings of the day left the impression that 6 per cent money Is likely not to stand any longer in the way of the natural advance in figures, Chicago parties ure buyers of the stocks of the corn belt lines. The Villard people are credited with strength in the Northern Pacifio. The bears were discouraged last night and say they can do little to 0ppose the upward move- ment until the trade gets fillied up with stocks. There was still further discourage- ment in the bear ranks this morning when the market opened strong with first prices i 10 3¢ higher than the closing figures last night. London was a buyer of a half dozen leading stocks, and grangers were in good demand. There was & well distributed busi- ness among tho leading stocks, with Atehi- son, Northwestera, Northern Pucific pre- ferred, St. Paul und New Eoglaund leading followed by Cotton Oil. Several things fay- ored the upward movement in stocks after 18 o'clock. Money dropped from 5 per cenu 10 4 per cent and the government bought lib- erally of bouds. The shorts saw the hand- writing on the wall and made an effort to protect themselves by buying, The net gaIns were not as great as on Monday, but coming to the top of the former advance and closing at about top figures wmade a good record for the bulls, Chesapeake & Ohio shares gained % on first preferred, i on common and 1 on second preferred. North- ern Pacific proferred, Atehison and North- western each closed 3 higher, Missouri Pa- eific and Uaton Pacific @ach 5 higher, Rock Island i highor. Trusts and coal stocks closed small fractions better with Cotton Oil i up at 52%. The total sales wore 215,508 shares.

Tuesday, August 27, To-day’s run of cattle was very hght and consisted Drlnd[mllj of Loulmouhh native and western catul esirable and fat beeves being extremely scarce. The dressed beef operators wanted a few good cattle and the feeling was stronger on such but there were not enough to make much of a testof the market. A bunch of 1452 pound beeves soid 8t $4.15 and some 1208 pound beeves at $4.00, but aside from that the sale of natives ranged frori §3.10 to $3.65. Quite a string of cornfed westerns sold at $.50 and some range steers at $2.85, The market on cow stuff did not present any essentially new features. Tne supply was not large and values remained stationery in about yester- day’'s notch, Native cows sold at $1.55@2.25 and canners at $1.00@L55 There were a good many stock cattle and feeders on sale, but quite a considerable proportion of them were not especially desirable. There were quite & good many buyers in the yards and considerable inquiry for that class of cattle still the trading was inclined to be slow, A few uative feeders went at $2.40@2.90, and quite a good wany Colorado feeders at’ §2.40 @2.65. "Taking the market as a whole it was not much different from yesterday excepting the brightening up of the ,trade on the best grades of ves. Hogs, It would be Impossible to go Into detail regarding to-day’s trade in hogs without re- ating much that bas been said of the war- et ou & good many days of late. The ship- pers opened the market by paying prices that were wbout 5o higher for the Leavy and mixed hogs, that is $3.75@83.80 for the bulk. The light hogs did not seil materially differ- ent from yesterday, but there was more sorting and consequently more sales av §3.90. The buyers for the fresn meat trade also bought a few loads av the same prices, The heaviest packers kept in the shade and did not attempt to buy anything. If they made any bids they were 8o far below the shinpers that there was no danger of their getting the hogs., After the stipping orders were filled the packers had it all their own way and their way was 83.65( for the fuil loads and €3.50@3.60 for the pieces, or the ends of sorts, The trade was pro- longed through the whole da; ing slow to sell hogs at $3.70 as good as the shippers paid $3.80 for. would be safe to call the market closing 100 lower than the opening, or i other words,the packers’ market 10c lower than the lhl]!perl' market.
