Omaha Grain Omaha, May 16. Total receipts at Omaha were 3S ■ ars against 230 cars last year. Total shipments were 140 cars as compared with 231 cars a year ago. Cash wheat on the Omaha market was slow to move, holders were firm and buyers hesitated in paying the advances asked. Sales were 1 to 2 cents higher. Corn was strong, 2 to 2 l-2c higher. Oats sold readily. 3-4 to 1 li4c higher. Itye was quoted 1 1-2 certts higher, and barley, strong and nomlnaly unchanged. Weak and lower Liverpool wheat cables caused a bearish feeling in the curly trading of the Chicago futures market ami prices registered a sharp decline. Commission houses turned buyers on the decline being influenc ed by the cash demand, fears of dam age to the winter wheat by the cold in the southwest and the strength in corn and oats. Receipts of coin are running very light and there seems to be an acute demand for till that is available. Buying by shorts v.as a feature. There was also prominent buying of corn by a leading commis sion house. In the late session unfa \orable reports from Kansas as to the condition of winter wheat caught a sharp upturn, final prices wore aboiit the best of tlie day. Liverpool, Broomhali ■ aides: Wheat easier on expectations of larger Amer ican shipments and increasing offers of nearby manitobas: further pressure of India wheat and heavy lenders on May contracts, owing to early arriv als of Argentine cargoes. Australia is expected to export further 8.000,000 bushels and India further 16.000.000 bushels by end of July. The Rosenbaum Grain corporation of Chicago, has a confirmation of damage to wheat in Kansas in the fol lowing: All of southern and central Kansas which promises a record yield a month ago will not now make more than 10 to 13 bushels an acre. This condition shows up since wheat be gan" to head. It Is thin and 15 inches high with small heads. Rains will help, but no chance for large yields. George M. Recount w ires from Dan ville, 111.: The general condition of w heat in Illinois is fairly promising. Considerable acreage is thin in the north part, but soil and weather con ditions are perfect and the thin fields should improve materially. Oats look 'ng fine. Price Current says: Field work made fairly rapid progress the last .veek and latest reports from the Vinerioan northwest suggest that the eduction in the acreage will he small er than expected earlier in the season. Winter wheat is beginning to head in he more southern sections of the nelt with prospect that Oklahoma will commence to harvest within less than i month. Plowing and planting in Missouri will be finished by the end of this week. Owing to rather dry weather farmers have been able to get colsely caught up in some sections of the west and corn planting is about as usual. Some increase in the acreage Is expected. The cool weather has been generally favorable for the oats crop, which on the whole, looks fa s orable. Chicago: Prosperity win not m* w recked in spite of the rocks of dis sention on the tracks of industry, John R. llauff, executive vice presi dent of the Chicago Board of Trade, told several hundred business men at • ending the Illinois Grain Dealers' convention last night. Mr. Maud, who spoke at a banquet given by the Chicago Board of Trade, nas just concluded a series of confer ences in the east with leaders in in dustry. commerce and finance. AH agree, he said, that there is very i eason for continued prosperity if a sane course is steered. In our own business, he continued, turning specifically to the grain trade, we have just passed through a transi tion period. The exchange is func- ' tinning under government supervi sion. The agrarian groups have been granted all their demands. The guv- , eminent and the exchanges are co operating heartily to carry out the letter of the law and maintain the h.gh efficiency of the marketing ma i ltii\ery. There is every reason to anticipate success. The government has made it clear that the futures market is not In lie interfered with and that speculative t lading, which is necessary to the operation of the futures market, shall • ontinue. When the public fully realizes, as it should, that the government does not contemplate bungling with the market, but rather intends a construc tive supervision, there will lie a bet ter feeling toward the market. This feeling then will be reflected through* out agriculture and industries. It 'till help to stabilize business gen •rally. Kansas weekly weather ami tiO|> report: Abnormal nool weather g<*n eral this week with heavy to killing frosts and freezing temperatures in eastern half of the state. Karly trunk and some corn badly damaged. Some t omplaints as to wheat damage, but thia itr not Important. Season from j r>n© to three weeks later than usual. Wheat has made good progress and some is headed out in the southeastern and soutbrentral countries. In the western third of the state and in some north-central counties plant is to late hat there is small hope r»f much of U maturing satisfactorily. Corn plant ing has made little headway. Cold weather has caused delay. Missouri crop report: Week’s weath er was not unfavorable for wheat, though the crop would he benefited ly more warmth a yd sunshine. The general condition and progress is very satisfactory. It is In the Jointing stage generally and in some southern • ounties it is coming into boot. Most of the corn is planted and Is germinating well. Considerable of the first planted in up to a good stand. Soli is in fine shape; some little corn in bottoms was nipped by frost on the 9th.

I Chicago Grain By CHARLES J. LEYDEN By I nhmil Sertlr#. Chicago, May 13.—An influx of bull ish crop nows that bordered on the sensational emanated out of the win ter wheat belt of Kansas today, ar resting an early dip in the market and resulting in a decided reversal of the trend. Damage reports from re cent freezes and protracted cool weather were numerous. Wheat closed l5* to 2c higher, corn corn 7a to 2%c up, oats 3* to 1 higher, rye 21i advanced and barley finished unchanged. May wheat again displayed an un dercurrent of strength, with a house with foreign connections the best buy er. Encouraging to the bulls was the fact that grain* values maintained the strength developed even while stocks were reactionary during the greater part of the day. Speculative inter est was much improved. Kliortx "On The Run." Shorts In corn were “on the run in to dn>'* market. especially during the late sTH^ion when prices mox ed up to 61c. Karly there was excellent Absorption of futures by bull houses and rash Interests. Near the last promtnent shorts were cred ited with covering. Country offerings and the movement to primary markets con tinued light. Oats felt the general upward tendency and met with Improved commission hou**e buglng and mattered covering by shorts. Rye had a good bulge with wheat. Pres sure was off the market and shorts were forced to big prtce> higher. Ptovfslona •showed further stability and advanced readily In sympathy with grains higher hogs and firm cables T.ard closed 20 to 25c higher and ribs 10 to 16c high er. Pit Not#**. A contributing factor In the daj a rapid advance anti private estimates of a 19 per cent reduction in acreage sown to spring wheat in the Dakota* and Minne sota. It was figured out that these three states would yield approximately 37.000, 000 bushels abort of last year, providing the same production per acre was realized compared with a > ear ago. The wheat plant is from one to three weeks behind schedule In Kansas and 'he general need of growing weather In the way of sunshine and higher tem perature** is reported from nearly all sec tions. Missouri Is also fh need of favor able weather, although the crop in that stale is above the axerage. (’ash market* throughout the country were correspondingly firm, Although not to active. Stocks of wheat in various positions continued to fall. At Minne apolis they decreased 375.000 bushel* for four day* A decrease of 17,623,000 bush els In the world's axailable supply for the week v as quite in Hue with the dax's upward swing. Official estimates on the exportaole surplus of the Indian wheat crop xrere regarded as bullish The surplus was placed st 76.O00.000 bushels, xvhteh com pared with recent prlva'e estimates of 100.000.000 bushels Rcportp from the. milling trade were not so encouraging In the northxxest demand was termed quiet.
