MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY » —- as - Omaha Grain Omaha, March 6. Receipts at Omaha were very light, aggregating only 53 cars, as compared with 262 ears last year. Total ship ments were 108 cars, against 141 cars a year ago. There was a fair demand for wheat in the Omaha market, with prices *ic to 1c higher. Corn was in good demand. *4c to %c higher. Oats were strong, lie to ?4c higher. Rye was quoted lc higher, and bailey firm and nominally unchanged. AVheat prices in the Chicago mar ket were fractionally lower at the start, but responded quickly to good buying by commission houses, and a I sharp advance occurred in the early session. On the udvanco long grain ■ame out freely and the market de veloped a heavy undertone. Corn was under considerable pressure from com mission houses and their sales were said to liavo been heavy. Most of the early advance was lost and at the ■ lose there secnis to be an inclination on the part of the traders to await developments pending the publication ■>f the government's report of farm re- j serves.

Trade, how ever, was largely of a local character, and with sentiment inclined to the bear side, the finish was well toward the low point, with net losses of He on wheat. ai@lc on corn, H&Hc on oats and Tittle on rye. Buying credited to a local profes sional was responsible for a moderate upturn in wheat after an easy open ing. Local shorts were run in, but on the advance there was selling by commission houses on resting orders, and partly against spreading opera-* tlons between this market and Winni peg, May being sold here at 5%c over the northwest. This did not prevent the latter from losing He as com-' pared with Chicago for the day. There was little change in the general j character of th** news. Export demand remains rather slow, with sales of 200,000 I bushels, while reports from western Kan sas continue to show dry weather, with moisture badly needed. Liverpool cloud ‘4d higher in sympathy with the upturn in America the previous day. Bull* Sell Freely. Houses that have been bullish on corn | for some time past were fair sellers early \ and sufficient grain was put on the mar- i ket to give It a heavy undertone througl\- j out the day. Fair support was found at I 74c for May on resting orders, which j checked the break. News- was largely of i a routine character and showed little ; change, with a slow cash demand and limited export call. Receipts of 203 cars | sold at unchanged prices as compared with j May. Trade in oats was largely of s local 1 character, with the pit element disposed * to 'take the baar aide on account of the 1 decline in oilkt grains. Fimme*s in cash , premiums had no effect, as shipping sales , were small. Receipts, 47 cars. While the seaboard was af»**r cash rye I here and rt Duluth for the first time in | weeks, trade In futures was not large and consisted largely of spreading operations with wheat, with July 32c under the for mer grain. Export sales at the seaboard were not large. Tim two northwestern markets received S.*» cars. Pit Notes. A bearish feeling prevailed in the gr#in markets at th* last, with prices around th« lowest of the day. One of the larg it of the local operators, who bought wheat early, said at the close that he as bull ish. but that he was not getting any where. Another, who expressed bearish sentiments, said he was making no prog ress. They showed the situation in the pit as it really is. At theiiame time, th market runs Into supporting orders on breaks and Into free selling on bulge Two large local operators covered wheat on the break to secure moderate profits Their buying supported values for a time, but selling of several lines of long wheat by local operators, who became tired, proved too much toward the last Com mission house buying on the break ab sorbed the surplus on the late break One of th*1 largest of the local oper ators said that he was bearish on all grains. Competition of Argentina. Aus trails and India, he declared. %as taking the market away from us. tf you want to buy wheat, he said. Winnipeg May is the best purchase, as it is 7c under Chi cago, considering the exchange rates. Bullishness Discounted. It is the impression among a few local operators that present prices for com discount all bullishness In th** situation at this time. Country holders ar** not selling freely etcept on bulge-, y*.t th*» movement to primary markets is a* large a* the trade requires. Little outside b'-.p la coming into the market, yet th-r* arc many operators v.-ho stick to the con structive side of th»* market on breaks.

Not withstanding the very moderate supply of cattle the market was dull and lower owing to the rather Indifferent buying | ty both packers and shippers. Bids and (sales were around I5«j25c lower Ulan i Monday on both beef steera and cows and few sales of fat rattle were made above Uie 99.00 mark.

Financial New York, March 6.—Today’s move 'mcnt of the various markets was not at all uniform. Jt comprised an ex | tremely Irregular stock market which ended with a confusion of net ad vances and n^t declines; a bond mar ket almost erivfally uncertain in trend, yet with somewhat positive strength in Liberty bonds; an early rise in wheat to the highest price in a fort night and the reaching of 31 cents a pound for spot cotton. The last named commodity has risen In two weeks exactly '2 cents a pound, or 7 per cent. It now stands at the price nt which the cottckn market halted during eight successive days in Sep tember, 1#20; one of the longest pauses made In that season of excessively violent reactions. Professional* Active. Most of the activities on today’s stock market were traceable to large profes sional speculators, of whom some were evidently taking speculative profits on h considerable scale, others endeavoring to force a break and still others, possibly the very experts who v. ere selling out In one quarter of the market, were bidding up prices ostentatiously In another. The up- ! shot of these confused procedures was ] unusual irregularity of movement. Several ; Industrial shares, mostly of the very spec ulative sort, were driven up 3 to ft points, hut there were almost equally large de clines elsewhere. Total transaction* were, except for last Friday, the largest In two weeks; but it was not a natural and spon taneous activity. Foreign exchange and the foreign securi- • tics markets were watched with some in terest today because of the cabled intima tions that the German chancellor’s speech to the relchstag might prove to he a ■ preliminary move toward making terms i with France. None of these markets gave any evidence of expecting an Important announcement. Both francs and marks were fairly steady at New' York, francs went slightly lower at London, the French j republic bonds were fractionally higher and prices on the Paris bourse were re- | ported as holding firm. This is no differ- | ent action from that of half a dozen other recent days. Financial Topics. v The financial community was alive with j rum >rs today as to the significance of • Secretary Mellon’s visit to New York and his expected visit to the federal reserve hank. The fact that Mr. M«Hon did not visit the bank during the course of Its business hour* did not. however, detract from the be lief that his presence in the city indicated some Important develop ments with regard to the government financing or some future policy of the federal reserve system. That element which 1* believed to be operating on the short side of the stock market is bending every effort these days to make capita! out of the ■ irculatioti of rumors which do not coincide with re ports which are coming from the various industries A esse in point is the Infor mation which had been made on Monday and again today to cause lower prices in the Standard Oil slock. Following the La Follette reports, speculators w*ho had sold these Stocks short endeavored to stamped **^11 alders by lntimattng that this meant government control of the oil '.n dustry. Such report*, however, were a - companies! by new high records for vari ous stock In the oil group* A problem which, while not yet de scribed a* serious, is assuming greater proportion* w *h each month 1* presented to the railroad companies In the form of j a labor scarcity. The eastern snd middle l western roads »fe e*p*cl»Ilv concerned over the possibility of » shortage of men for the less skilled work and are making , effort* to employ whatever labor-saving j «le\ ice they can In their operations The farmers of tbt middle west and large In dustries. such as the steel snd textile manufacturing In the east, %re active competitors of the railroads for m*n.
