OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 1903 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Grain Prices All Tumble in Board of Trade Pits. LWMEAT FALLS MORE THAN FULL CENT nd Corn Also Suffer, While Pro. Hesitate Between Rising Losing on Strong Market, CHICAGO, March 7.—Extreme bearish Bews pervaded the wheat pit today and th market experienced a sharp decline, May glosing 1@llec lower. May corn was oft © and oats were down 4@ Provisions closed about steady, the May products being from 2c lower to The higher Scattered selling by tired holders on market that lacked any signs of support Wwas the cause of a severe setback In tl. price of wheat and the market ruled de- cldedly weak the entire session, with the exception of a temporary firmness at ihe start, due (o firm cables and the strength in corn. May opened unchanged to e higher at 76c {0 76%c, but the firmness was ohily. mementary and Influenced by the mild weather throughout the whole winte: wheat belt, with no signs of much colder Weather in sight and with prospects of bearish statistica Monday. The seliing be- c&mé quite general and prices decilned rapldly, with now and then a short halt, due to' covering by shorts. Weakness in outside markets also aided In the decline. The bottom was reached at 74%c and the close was at T4%@74%c, a net loss of 14@ e, Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 215,000 bushels. Primary receipts were 413,600 bushels, agalnst 437,70 bushels & year ago. Minneapolls and Duluth re- pofted receipts of M2 cars, which, with ocal receipts of 31 cars, 1 of contract grade, made total recelpts for the three points of 813 cars, against 314 cars last week and 332 CATS & year ugo. in spite of a generally bullish sentiment In the corn pit the market was a little influenced by the break in wheat. Rning wus strong on higher cables and on the unfavorable weather, but when wheat started on it downward course the elling in_corn became quite pronounced nd the market was unable to resist Taln and prices eased off, but ateadied at & little under yesterday's final figures, the close being easy, with May 4c lower at M4e, after selling between 4ic and 47%c. Local recelpts were 2§ cars, with 2 of con- tract grade Onts were active and firm early in the sesslon, but wedkened in sympathy with other grainc and closed easter, with May % fide lower at e, after ranging between e and 35G854c. Commission houses were good eellers and some of the leading shorts bought. Local recelpts were 237 cars. There was a good trade in provisions and the undertone was firm, opening prices being strong on smaller receifts of hogs and an advance of from e to 10c at the yards. Later there was some reallzing in a eneral way In sympathy with the easfer ne in grain, and the prices declined some- what, but the close was steady. May pork closed at 2lc lower at $18.35, May lard was ifho, higher at $10.16 and Fibs off 4o at Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, % cars; corn, 260 cars; oats, 210 cars; hogs, 40,000 head, The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.| Open. { High.| Low. | Close.[Fes'y.

Excluding government deposits, this item is now $666,975, compared with $3,958 458 at this time last year and $10,717,275 two | yeors ago. The severe loss in cash reserves | as about as much above the preliminary timates as last weew's 108s was below it. | The $10,000,000 loan contraction fulfilled the expectations that the stock market liquida- | tion of the week and the shifting of loans to forelgn money markets would be re- | flected In that item, but the loan contrac- tlon must have been near $40,000,000 to keep puce with the rate of depletion of cash re- | serves. No reader of the bank statement could be left in doubt that further calling of loans would have to be resorted to by the banks next week, and operators threw over stocks In all directions to prepare for this emergency. Some futile “efforts were made to check’ the decline by supporting orders, but these proved too filmsy for the urpose and prices broke violently to the owest of the week, Prices were crumbling dangerously when' the market closed at about the lowes( end on very active deal- ings. Flerce ralding tactics by the bears were a factor in_the slump. The specu- lative contest In Unfon Pacific. was made £ylaent by the extremic break of 3 1n tmit stock. Losses in St. Paul, Canadlan Pa- cific, Manhattan, New York Central and 8t. Louls & San’ Franclsco ran from 3 to 3%. The bank statement appeared to be the sole factor in the market and before its appearance the trading was languld and sluggish. The assignment of Dresser & Co, was not announced untll after the close ‘of the market. Bends have suffered in common with stocks in the week's selling movement.

CATTLE—There were a few cattie in the yards this morning, but scarcely enough to make a test of the market. For the week supplies have been fairlv ilberal, but still there is a decrease as compared’ with last week. When comparisons arc made with the same week of last year, however, it will be seen that there is a good substan- tlal increase. The table above will show the exact figures. The beef steer inarket has been in_very satisfactory condition all the week. Pack: ers have apparently had liberal orders, that each day's receipts have been di posed: of in good weason. As compared with the close of last week, it is safe to quote the market strong to a dime higher. All grades have sold to better advantage this week than last and shippers have been better satisfied with the prices they recelved than for some little time past. The bulk of the fair to good cattle have soid from $4.15 to $4.50. Good to chofce $4.50 to $5.00 and strictly prime cattle may be quoted from $5.00 to $6.60. The cow market has also_been in pretty good shape all the week. There has beer some unevenness to the trade, so that some bunches sold to betis advantage than others, but as a gemeral thing cutters and the better grades of beef cows are about steady for the week. Canners have been somewhat neglected and are. perhaps. a shade lower. Good lightweight heifers have been in strong demand and the prices pald show an adyance for the week amounting to 15@20c. Cansers have sold from $1.7 to s Fair tw good cows from §2.75 to §3 and cholce grades from $3.50 to $4.26. Bulls have sold to better advantage this week than last, and are, If anything, a little higher. Veal calves are selling in just about the same notches they have for some | time past. The supply of stockers and feeders has been moderate, and as there was quite a brisk demand from the country the market ruled active and strong. Fair to good stock cattle sold from .5 to 8.7 Good to cholce, $3.75@i4.50, and common stuff from £.50 down. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Pr. No. 18w L (R b 4w COows. ) Cattle.

Trading as falrly active, so that the bulk of the afferings ‘was disposed of in good season. Good heavy hogs sold largely from $7.15 to ¥.% and a little bunch brought §7.274. " The medium weights sold from $1.10 to §7.15, and the light stuff from $7.10 down. The heavy welghts were in the mest demand today, the same as has been the case for some time past, and salesmen occasionally thought they did not sell the lighter loads quite a dime higher. Recelpts of hogs this week have been rather light, as there is a decrease both as compared with last week and with the corresponding week of last year.

Following the first call the bull pool bid quite freely, causing the room shorts to cover until it became apparent that southern orders were going to the selling side of the account, with a large Philadelphia spot house also in evidence as a seller. There was but ifttle bear pressure from Wall street. A feature of the early trading was the sale of a large block of May by a German house. Trading in general was only mod- erately active, with the weather still bad in the south, which led to caution in mak- ing ventures on the short side of the ac- count. On the other hand receipts were heavier than expected, with Houston show- ing up particularly full. Cables were a trifie better than expected. Futures closed very steady. The spot market closed dull, with prices 5 points lower on the basls of 9.95c for middling uplands and 10.20¢ for middling gulf.

This property, consisting of five full mining claims, adjoins the Bonanza Mine, the Tonopah and California, which were developed through this fiscal agency from a mere prospect intdo one of the richest mines in the world inside of 3 days. We now offer to the public 100,000 Shares of its Treasury 8tock at 20c Per Share. Remember that the ledge in the sister mine is 40 feet wide and ran $1,667.30 per ton—the richest single lode in the world. With the same formation. the sha¢t on Mount Butler is being sunk straight for the same ledge, and i it not reasonable to believe that they will reach it in a few days, and then stock in Tonopah & Mt, Butler will run up the scale like its sister mine, the Tonopah & California, to $1.00 Per Share at a Single Bound! It reads too giich like a romance to write of Tonopah that more than §100,000,000.00 of the richest gold ore in the world is on the dump or in sight. §1.00 shares of Mispuh Tonopah have sold as high as $22.50, and the owners of Tonopah & Mt. Butler belleve their property will prove equally as rich, as it is inside the proven zone. Each day their shaft is approaching nearer the gold zone, and when they strike it stock will run up the scale liks every other Bonanza'in that wonderful district.
