- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1902. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Bears Take a Tum at the Bat on the Ohicago Board of Trade. CROP PROSPECTS SHADE THE PRICES Good e Bxeellent Growing Weather Reports from the Farms C Slamp in Figures All < Along the Line, W —Bulls in the, srain ost today all the gain they made yes- ey “Ynder n spelivof the excellent Tow(ng weather, the promise of early har- ests in the southwest and forelgn weak- ness, bears took control again. After an early show of strength pressure was put on wheat and corn and July wheat closed $G%c lower, July corn l@itc down and P07 oats unchanged. =~ Provisions closed unchanged to 5c_higher. At one time wheat gave promise of a 00d bulge. Liverpool cables were weak, Fixiriant growth was reported from most of the wheat flelds and the weather was Il ‘that could be expected. This caused Bn opening weakness, but support in the way of buying July started an upturn. “Tailers” came In on the buying side as aid commission houses, and July, which opened H@lge lower, at TIR@II%c, ad- vanced to Part of this strength wa: given through the decrease of b417,000 bus ©ls in_the world’s visible supply. This price, however, could not withstand the constant selling pressure that was brought 10 hear from the southwest and the north- west. Barly crop talk influenced the crowd to change sentiment and soon everything was on the down turn. July slumped sharply to_7ligc and closed weak, %@7c down, at T%@N%c. Local receipis were 82 cars, 3 of contract grade. Minneapolis d_ Duluth reported 13 cars, making a fotal for the three points of 158 cars, against 126 last week and 407 a year ago. FPrmary recelpts were liberal, ‘at 432000 Bushels, compared with 461,000 bushels last vear. Heaboard clearances in wheat and Four equaled 546,000 bushels Corn ruled_weak all day. Cables were rather firm, but the forelgn markets were dull and affected by the early drop in Wheat and heavy recelpts of b24 cars. July corn opened #@%e to W@ke lower, at 6@ ¢, The big buil interests were buying for a_time, but succeeded only In steady- ing the decline. Offerings were not ex- cessive, but there was a constant pres- pure on the bulls. Primary recelpts were Very lberal, at 1,045,000 bushels, Crop re- ports were excellent and although the country movement was not markedly in- creased the recent acceptances and heavy cceipte caused cash houses to reduce their [iae.” Wnich, together with a poor cash nd’ export demand and reports of excel- jent fodder growth, induced slumps. ‘July slid down to 6il4c, after having sold at 82%0,- and closed weak, 1@lic lower, at 61%¢. Estimates of only cars for to- mgrrow did not steady the market. Oats were stronger than the other grains today, but were dull and featureless, as far as trading was concerned. Receipts were not so large as of late, but there were fewer cars of contract in the 231 received today. This steadled the early weak feel- ing Induced by the depression in wheat and corn. The late weakness in the other grains took off a small advance that was caused by some small buying ana July closed unchanged at 36%c. Provisions showed strength after a weak opening. Hogs were firm at the yards, in #pite of the teamster: strike, and heavy reductions in ribs stocks induced good buy- ing. Lard and pork stocks were increased somewhat and caused free offerings at the gpening, but support, continued good for some time. July pork sold to $17.90 and closed 2%c up_at $17.20; July lard closed {nchanged at $10.5, and July ribs c up at 7 Eetlmated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 10 cars; corn, 200 cars; oats, % cars; hogs, 34,000 head.

NEW YORK, June 3—It would be use- less to seek for anything but a negative inference from the operations in today's stock market, owing to the smallness of the dealings and the lanquid movement of prices. Varfations of as much as a point are rare and must be sought among the obscure portions of the list. An exam- le of the curb market is offered by St. Paul, usuaily an active leader of the mar- ket, ‘but in which there were only three transactions up to 2 o'clock today. It is necessary to go back nearly two years to the period preceding the last presidential electlon to find any such showing of stag- nant speculative interest. The undertone was rather firm, as the immediate news developments were favorable to ~buyers. The buylng was entirely by small profes- sional traders and the market was 8o nar- row that they were obliged to concede all of the advance in price caused by their bidding in order to close out a contract. The traders bought during the firat hour in the bellef that the success of the an- thracite operators in keeping their mine pumps going in spite of the strike would presage a rise in the value of anthracite stocks. Importance was also attributed to the notable Increase in the receipts of corn and the resultant decline in the corn market. The Iimmediate benefit of in- creased traffic for raliroads of the larger receipts was considered of much less con- sequence than the obvious inference. that the freer offerings of corn were due to bellef of planters that the coming crop would be abundant. The higher rate for money was probably the most influential factor in repressing speculation. Rates for call money ruled about last week's maxi- mum _throughout. The syndicate opera tions last week, which resulted in the $15,- 0000,000 loan expansion by the banks, are llable to be repeated in kind at almost any time and the effect o the money market in the present narrow state of surplus re- gerve 1s an obfect lesson against free spec- ulative commitments. The question is beginning to be can- vassed whether the tax reduction bill, which goes into effect on July 1, will at ford the expected relief to the money mar- ket by relaxing the government's surplus revenue requirements. The flscal opera- tions for May show that In spite of a de- crease of over $4,000,000 in internal revenue collections, the government's surplus for the month was fully equal to that of the ear before. The available cash balance n_the treasury was brought up to above $195,000,000 and the increase of government deposits In national banks was less than $4.500,000. ‘Tt 'Is probable that the decrease in internal revenue is due to measures for withholding traffic until it can get the benefit of the July reduction of taxation. On the other hand, the reduction in_ gov- ernment _expenditures more than keeps ace with the decrease in revenue and he order for a reduction in the force of the army will accentuate this tendency. The most notable factor in maintaining the surplus of the government, however, is the cessation of bond redemptions, which were a continuing source of relief to the money market after July 1 of last year. The policy of the new secretary of the treasury has not yet provided a sub- stitute for this rellef and his intentions in_the matter are not known to the public. There was an active demand for Con- solidated Tobacco 4s; otherwise the bond market was dull and ‘irregular. Total sales, par value, $8,406,00.

NEW YORK, June 3—COTTON~The cotton market opened weak and lower to 15 points down under a scramble of small holders to unload and a wave of bear rre ure, which carried everything before t through the bellef in a fine monthly crop statement from Washington urged on the shorts, while the bulls were frightened by the severe I # already accrued and by the sheer absence of Yubllc support. The dowpward movement did not stop un- til July had reached 8.66c and August 8.39c. Around these figures smaller bears turned for cover and gellers purchased summer months for a rally. The Liverpool cables, however, reflected ~ extreme weakness a that point, prices being down 6@10 points, while the crop reports and the government daily “woather chart indicated general rime conditions over the entire belt, mptly at noon the bureau announced the crop condition average to be %.1, as against 815 the same time last year, and gave a_decrease in acreage only of 3-10 of 1 per cent. Immediate selling for both accounts ensued and July dropped to 8.59c, while August sold at 8.3ic. From thi - ing the market later steadled on a less bearish weekly crop and weather report from Washington than looked for. Prices advanced 10 points, but later eased off again in the absence of substantial support. During the balance of the slon trading was less active and fluc atlons followed conservative line market closed quiet and steady, prices net 8 to 26 points lower.

The trade, however, was not very active, but at the same time there was not much change from yesterday iIn the prices paid. Good stuff soid without much trouble, but the common kinds were neglected. There was about the usual proportion of beef steers in the receipts this morning and the good to choice grades sold quite freely at good, moner grades changed hands rather slowly, and in a good many cases sellers found it difficult matter to get what they con- dered steady prices. As a general thing, though, the market was slow, but about steady on the Inferior offerings. erything was disposed of in good season. The cow market was also rather slow but about steady on anything desirable. Good ai lot cows and heifers sold at what looked to be steady prices, and most everything answering to that description was picked up in good season. The quality of the offerings as & whole was common. the case yesterday, an on such kinds the market was slow, with the tendency of prices dow: d. Cows showing have been gol down so rapidly of e that it is difficult to tell what such kinds are worth, but they are easily B0c lower than they were the high time of last week. Bulls, veal calves and stags all held steady where the quality kas good, but common stuff was weak in sympathy with the downward tendency of common steers and cows. ‘There were very few stockers and feeders on sale this morning, and not ‘many were wanted. The demand from the country so week has been very limited, so culators will not buy anything un- less they can get it at their own figures. Strictly cholce stuff has been very scarce of late and that class of cattle are not Very much lower, but the general run of stockers and fee are considerably lower y were last week.
