THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 26, 1902 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Qovernment Report Deals Blow to Early Grain Market. PRICES RALLY LATER AND PITS GAIN Cerenls Start on Downward Course, but Excellent Export Demand Bull Values to Gains—Provisions Recover Declines. CHICAGO, May 24.—The grain markets were thrown out of gear today by the pub- lication of the government report of last years crop ylelds. The report was con- atried quite bearishly for a time, espe- dally since forelgn markets were depressed y it. In the end, however, an excellent export demand helped traders to view the revised figures most dispassionately and July wheat closed a shade higher, July Corh e up and July oats a shade advanced. Provisions closed @mgc higher. Wheat suffered materially at the opening. Cables were weak, the government report showed an Increase of 70,000,000 bushels in ¢ years crop over the former figures, trade was light and the crowd was over: bold on beautiful weather talk. Kansas ints feported that harvest woitld begin o "len “days and that the conditions in many places were fine, with prospects’ of thirty-five to forty bushels to the acre. Eetimates of this years winter crop ex- ceeded 400,00,000 bushels. Under these in- fluences and the bearish effect the govern- ment report had on the curb last night opening prices were depressed. July %@ to lower at 73 to 12%c and hung tween these figures dull for Some time. After the market there weakened on stop- joss orders coming out at 7ic, the shorts and gome leading bulle started in to do a fair ‘business. Sentiment changed com- Pletely when a good export and cash de- nand developed and prices rallied. The northwestern receipts, which have been Funning smail for Wome time, were again curtailed, but advices were to the effect $hat & car famine in the west was prevent- ing an otherwise liberal movement. July Worked up to % @¥ge and closed firm, shade up, at 7o%c. lLocal recelpts were % cars, mo contract grade; _Minneapolis and Duluth ‘Feported 125 cars, making a total for the three points of 132, against 112 last week and 20 o year ago. Primary geceipts were 260,000 bushels, compared to 406,000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard clear- ances in wheat and flour equalled K15,000 bushels. New York reported 6 loads taken for _export. Corn ‘was stmilarly aftected to wheat by the government report. There was a breal of %o on the arbirary increase of 820,000 ores In the area and 164,000,000 busheis' in {he production. The crowd, however, was nciiied to the view' that consumption had n proportionately greater. Cables were lower and crop prospects good, with the exception of dry subsolls In some districts, RNevertheless good sirength developed and July raliied sharply (0 e, atter opening as low as 8i%c. July closed strons, %e up, at e, Receipts were 9 cars. Oats were dull and uninterésting. The early tone was weak under the infiuence of the other grains. Receipts were in- creased somewhat and crop prospects con- finued to be favorable. After the early Weakness @ fair support developed and ices rallled. July oats advanced from C to Ji%@3ikc and closed steady, & shade up, at s7c. Recelpts were 182 cars. Provisions recovered some from yester- decline.

NEW YORK, May 24.—The only feature of importance 'in today's market was the buying ‘of Canadian Pacific, which has been in evidence for several days past and which was halted by the president s state- ment that the generai prosperity of the company was all he knew of to account for it. The price reached a record figure today at 13%. This movement helped to keep the general market steady. ~There were a_number of special movements in the less {mportant stocks, but the list as a whole: was inert and closed at small net changes either way. The hopeful views of the peace outlook in South Africa did not alter this state of affairs, nor did the bank statement. There s a disposition to await definite; results in South Africa, and a feeling that there might be a hitch that would again delay the situation. The outcome of the coal strike is also awaited. gented of complicatio The weather map was construed as tavorable to crop prospects, although showers in the northwest are not dried at this time. The bank statement shows an encourag- Ing recuperation of reserves, but nelther the increase in cash nor the reduction in loans was fully up to_the expectations formed by the street. The effect on the market was, therefore, scarcely perceptible. The market closed about steady. Business in bonds has not been large, but prices are well sustained.

The kinds that have advanced the most are those that were_ selling a week ago from 36.60 to $6.90. Cholce cattle are duotable from $7.00 to $7.3), and they are also strong for the week.

A widening range of prices is looked for from this time on. The better grades of cows and heifers were in good demand all last week and prices are a little higher. There was some very choice stuff offered, however, as fs shown by the fact that'as high ‘as 362 was paid. The better grades in a good many cases undoubtedly sold 10@16c higher than a_week ago, buf still the situation can perhaps best be described by calling the market strong and active The com- moner grades are if anything a liitle lower for the week.

Desirable grades of bull strong prices all the week and so also did stags. Veal calves are a little higher than they were a week ago, as cholce grades sold as high as $7.25.
