THE OMAHA DAILY BEE WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1894 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL ‘Wheat Was Heavy at the Lowest Price Ever Recorded in May. YET MUCH BUSINESS WAS TRANSACTED Porn Weak All Day, Oata y and Pro- vistons Dull, All Influenced by the ‘Wheat Market — Stocks and Bond CHICAGO, May 16—Wheat was very heavy today at the lowest price ever known in the month of May and closed %c lower. The feature of today's trading was heavy Aquidations of the longs, weak cables, fine weather and an increase on passage alding in the decline. The other markets were affected by the weakness In wheat, July corn closing %e lower, July oats %c lower and provisions lower all around. In wheat a large business was transacted. Opening trades showed from %e to %e loss, and gradually the market sold down % to 1%4¢, rallicd %e, changed some, and closed as stated. Liquidation by tired longs was the chief feature of the day. The earl. nfluences were bearish, the chief of which were weak cables, the Increase on passage and the fine weather. Prices gave way rapidly, local traders being rather aggres- sive and confident of lower prices, and in- creased the offerings as the session ad- vanced. A prominent operator, supposed to be short heavily, gave the market good sup- port after the first decline, as also did a arge concern with elevator Interests. This buying stayed the downward tendency for a time, but later on fresh lines came out after worked_down, making new low all deliveries, The Increase of fld’s visible supply of 4,460,000 bu. caused the prices to react, and was about the only bullish feature presented all day. The close was but Ye from the bottom. Corn was weak ail day. The downward course of wheat, together with the fifie weather, were the principal weakening in- fluences, and considerable long came out on the break, which increased the depres- ¥lon.

NEW YORK, May 16.—After an extremely aull opening, enlivened only by a decline by a point or #o in American Sugar Refining stock, the share list developed weakness and prices de- clined in the entire list. The knowledge that Mr. Gould s about to leave for Europe was utilized by the bears to make a sharp raid on Migsour! Pacifle, and the stock broke from 2% to 20% on males of only 11,602 shares. The break In this stock, however, was sufficlent to start selling In other parts of the list and a decline of from % to 1% per cent ensued. Sugar fell oft 1% per cent, to 103%; Atchison 1% per cont, to 10%; Northwestern 1% per cent, to 108; Rock Island 1 per cent, to 68%; Unlon Pacific cent, to 17; Lead % per cent, to 3$%; ul % per cent, to 60'.

The quality as a rule was very good, Local packers all started in rather bearish, but slightly better reports from the east and a good shipping and speculative demand soon in- duced a firmer feeling, and most of the trading was on the basis of very nearly steady prices.

E. Hunt, the obscrver at Omaha, as follows: Owing to the continued drouth in the southwestern portion of the state and the appearance of cut worms and bugs in some localities the reports this week are fiot al- together 8o favorable as the preceding two weeks, and while it Is hardly probable that any serious damage has thus far resulted from drouth seasonable rains would prove of great benefit in all portions of the state, except the northeastern section, where they have had all the moisture needed. Wheat and other small grain, as a rule, are doing well; pastures are excellent and fruit pros- pects were never better. Many oat flelds are being plowed up and replanted in corn, thus largely increasing the acreage of that most important of Nebraska crops. The bulk of the corn crop has been planted and much of it is already up to a good stand and s being worked.
