THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1902 (OMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL | Be Report on Oorn Puts Dewn Prices in the Grain Pits. FIRST SCARE FAILS TO RUN IN SHORTS Bear House Puts Out & Line of September a CHICAGO, Bept. 18—Grain traders were wailting_for . sign today. Business was lews active than it has been for many days. Supporting _orders were not in evidence Ugh to hold up prices and with a bear- ) Teport on the corn crop put out by a jcuding statistical journal several prores- sionals took advantage of the dullness to put @ selling pressure on all markets. The Weather condition was an early aid to s, partieularly to corn, but depression ‘tollowed the selling. At the close ember corn was %@%c lower, Decem- heat 1@%e down, September oats %c nd ember 'oats o Off. Pro- Vislona closed Zic to 2c down. Corn . business was the most active of the quict markets. At the start reports of frosta and rain In much of the corn belt With freczging temperatures in lowa an: Nebraska, stiffened prices. The frost talk, however, falled to hold up prices. A prom- Jnent journal printed a report on the corn Mituation, taying that the crop condition hud been lowered a little by the frosts, but that practically all the big crop was made. A big Interest that is short heavily in hoth September and Decvmber put Some jorce on the selling side, with a resuit that prices broke in December. The local crowd look to_ihe same position and on a few stop-loss _orders the deciine = was aug: mented. September held fairly steady on e poor condition of arrivals. There was un Increase of receipts, cables were lower and_estimated recelpts for tomorrow were liberal at 3% cars. B Louls had reports of new corn to come to that marke. soon. | It was & pet theory that an attempt was | made to sell a line, while the frost taik helped up prices. On the down-turn houses with country connections took some of the stuff and & small rally resuited. December opened a ghade to l4@fi4c up at He to Hic loped to ‘s3tc, and closed weak, © 0 at 43%c. Recelpts were 360 cars, 7/ of con- tract grade. Wheat ruled dull, but held up fairly well under the pressure. Corn was an influence in bringing about ‘an easler tone, but the adverse weather for spring Wheat move- ment, the lighter northwestern receipts than 'were expected and a fair export busi- ness made the market stubborn. The mar- ket in the main was of a waiting character, Heports had fine weather for seeding of winter wheat. Cables were lower. Decem- ber opened unchanged to e up at 8c to 604, fell off to G8ic and closed weaker, % @he lower at G8%@6S%c. wocal receipts Were 244 cars, 10 of confract grade; Minne- apolls and Duluth reported &1 cars, making @ total for the three points of §% cari against 70 o week ago. This day last yea: Was o holiday, consequently no compari- sons can be made with statistics. Seaboard learances In_wheat and flour equaled 5 0 bushels. Primary receipts were 1,211,000 bushels, There was an early drive against Sep- tember oats by elevators, which knocked ic off the price. Recelpts were only fair at 173 cars, 16 of contract grade. But private houses put out 62 cars and sold against them. The weather worked against the grading of new stuff, but the corn break was a bearish {nfluence. Trade was small, September sold from 83c to 32c and closed weak, %e oft at d2ic. December sold from dlige to @ weak close, % down at 30%c. Provisions were fairly active, especlally in October pork. Hogs started out weaker and later held only barely steady, and were a depressing influence. There was an attempt 1o cover October pork, but some support_was put under that commodity, Trices rallied well for a time, but renewed seling resulted in final losses in every- thing. October pork closea oc off at $1 January pork 7ic lower at $14.97%, Septe: Der lard be off at $10.60.

EW YORK, Sept. 18.—The stock market maintained its undertone of strength toda but the trading was extremely apathelic outside of a spotty assortment of stocks whose show of strength helped to sustain the gencral list. The mones market was quieter, but rates were stil stff. Loans were left undisturbed, however, and no} sressure of liquidation was forced. The | fevel of prices was not disturbad, exc ot | as the sympathetic Influence of the strois stecks helped to narden the market. The | Gculd group was the most conspicuous. Reports of a plan were current with color o: official sanction for an exchange of & Louls Southwestern preferred for a Ml sourl Pacific bond. This was interpreted by a speculative contingent as a forerus ner of the long expected Gould consolida- tion plan. Missouri Pacific came into the movement late in the day and took the leadership of the whole mar he return to New York of President Gould from a tour of inspection served to stimulate the movement. Rock Island made a much larger gain on a small volume of dealings. The advance was based upon the decision of the Towa state authorities that the Rock Island reorganization plan is not in con- travention of the lowa law. There was ac- tivity and strength in the curb market in contracts for the new Rock Island securi- tles, The stocks of independent steel com- panies were strong as a rule because of the reports of the extraordinary pressure of orders for all grades of iron and steel products and a degree of actlvity in pro- duction which is limited only by the avail- able supply of material. The freezing | weather In the northwest was ignored until | the break in the corn and wheat markets, which helped to stiffen stocks. The com- parative heaviness of some of the southern | raliroads may have been due to the pers | sistent unfavorable reports from the cot- | ton crop. The money outlook continued the principal topic of discussion in the financial district. There was no radical change in the situation today. An addi tional engagement of $500,000 Australian 0ld was announced to arrive several weeks ence. The banks continued to lose to the subtreasury, notwithstanding the disburse- ment by that Institution on account of Oc- tober government interest, the customs col- lections and the deposits for transfer to the interlor serving to more than offset the in- terest payments. However, the loss to the subtreasury since Friday has reached only $1,958,000, compared with $4,725,000 for the same time last week. Whils the decline is thus reduced, it will be seen that nothing of the needed recuperation of the banks re- serves has been afforded by the treasury s measure of rellef. The fact that the Bank of England refrained from advancing its discount rate today was given a favorable interpretation. But sterling exchange here continued to ‘harden to a full cent above the low level of the week, carrying ex- change well away from the gold import point. The prices of gold in the London market was advanced and something over 31,000,000 was withdrawn from the Hank of England for shipment to points other than than New York. It is evident that the quiet money market In New York is due in no small part to the constraint upon the spec- ulation at the Stock exchange. The mar- ket closed dall and steady.

The way things look now this will be a record-breaking week. The record so far is held by the week ending October 31, 1901, when 39,399 head of cattle arrived, and, as will be scen from the table below, the supply so far this week is nearly up to that mark, and unless the supply is ex- tremely small on Friday the record will be broken by a good margin. It is Interesting to notice, too. that the record is broken about six weeks earller than it was a year go. A falr test of the market for cornfed steers was not made today, as there was nothing good In the yards' The half-fat cattie do not well to good advantage, as packers claim the weatern rangers are preferable to warmed-up corn cattle. The cow market started in this mornin quite lively_and just about steady wit yesterday. When buyers realized, though, that there were a §ood many cows In sight they cooled off a little and were bidding a little lower. Sellers were holding their of- ferings at steady prices, so that the mar- ket was not very active. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold in about the same notches they did yesterday. Stockers and feeders were in big supply again this morning, and although there were close to 176 cars shipped to the coun- try yesterday yard traders had a good many on hand this morning. The good | cattle, though, sold at about steady prices, while the commoner grades were extremely dull and a little lower. The general situa- tion was expressed by one speculator when he sald that he was not buying any com- mon cattle, as he already had 500 on hand and had not had a bid on them. It is very evident that the demand from the country is for the better grades. For the week all but the best cattle may be quoted fully %c lower and even the best cattle are a ltle | lower. Western beef steers were no more than steady today, and If anything the common grades were' a little lower” There havo en a good many on hand all the week, and as a result packers did not act particu: larly anxious for suppiles this morning. Range cows were about steady at the open- ing, but a little lower on the cloge. “The | Dbest feeders held about steady, but the | commoner grades were dull and ‘a quarter lower than a week ago. sales: BEEF STEERS.

Packers seemed to be falrly anxfous for stuff and the Dbetter grades ‘commanded about steady prices. A good deal of sorting was neces sery, though, so that the morning was well' advanced before much trading was done. ~ The lambs in particular were a mixed lot. There was a fat end to nearly every bunch, but the bulk of them were rather common quality. The packers ‘bought the fat ones that were at all good at about steady prices and the better feed- ers, both sheep and lambs, held about steady, but the common grades of all kinds were dull and weak. wlioiations: Guod to choles 160G, 1; falr to good, $3.40G3.60; good to Sotce: ethers, .
