Operators hail bum buying wheat of late ,
expectln-i that u hard frcczo would follow the
recent thaw , in which event bolter prices
might result from crop shares. Hut the fall of
snow , If It extended through the winter wheat
belt , would uTord ft protection against cold
weather and make the proipects of ilaumgu to
the young plant less liable , ami this belief
brought out ninth ) inoro wheat , and under
Inrtfo offerings the market was weak. There
was no special demand and support to the
market until th < 3 lower prices were reached ,
whe'i I here was some demand to cover shorts

Omulia Grnln Market.
The great drawback to the market Just at
present Is the scarcity of cars. There nro
plenty of huyers , and their bids are very
tempting , but these having the grain to sell
nro tif raid to enter Into a contract to deliver
It for fear they cannot got the cars In time ,
01110 Idea of thu seaiclty of cars may be
gained from the remark of n prominent grain
man to the effect Unit ho could only got five
cars yesterday when ho wanted 100.
The daily session of the hoard wns fnirly
well attended , but n good many absent them
selves when they ought to bo present. A >
hinted above , there were plenty of buyers
nnd no lack of bids. While sellers were
scarce , ( hero was stilt Mime trading.

The value of a dally call can not be measure !
by the amount of grain sold on call. Tne prlnn
object of the call Is to make prices , thus cn-nt
lug what might lie called an oMIelal marlie
which can bu sent out Into the country for tin
guidance of shlppets nud buyers. A great ( lea
of grntn Is nnd has been sold nt nnd througl
Omaha , but at thu same tlmu ( hero is practl
cnlly no market here , none at least that couli
ho reported. Tlio holdlngof a dally call make
It possible for tlio iieuspapcts to quote tb
Omaha gram market. If thn sales happen t
hn light on n certain dny Hint Is nothing to th
discredit of thn plnii of having n dally call. A
tit. Louis , which Is probably tlie second larges
Krnln market In the country , they hnvo n dull
call mid It Is nothing unusual for little o
nothing lobe sold during the call. The groa
bulk of thn business Is ilnno after the call o
oven before. At Kansas City they do a larg
grain business , but the dully call docs not brln
out nny more trading than does thu one n

sell them at ie 20c then consumers wl

wuro out In full force and inailo one of tin
most vigorous drives of the season agalns
Heading and tin : loading industrial shares
but nt the close of the day only Itcudlng , Nev
England and Cordugu showed any markci
loss , while there were few Important galu
nnd among the general railroad list tin
changes were about equally divided betweci
gains nud losses of small fractions.
No clearer demonstration of the Inhcrcnl
strength of the. market could ba given , am
the general confidence of the holders of stock' '
was plain. The advices over night that tin
president had left to the discretion of Score
tary Foster the matter of nn Issue of bonds
reassured the street. Theopenlng of the market
kot , therefore , was generally stioug , but till ;
did not deter the bears fiom carrying oil
their prearranged program of a vlgorousdrlvi
at the few weak spots In thu list. There couli
be no doubt that the liquidation was genera
In both Heading and New Knglaud loday
though whether the material decline elTeetei
In those storks would have heen htotighl nhou
without llio vigorous bearish operatiousof tin
( lav Is hardly to be maintained.
The movement was much of a mystery bu
heavy selling orders were executed and es
pcrlally during thu first hour , when oii <
broker was credited with having sold a line o
some 2O.UOO shales. The bears endeavored ti
create the belief that a large inside lutcres
was liquidated and the amount to be sold wa
plai'ed us high us 100,000 , to say nothing o
the Income bonds. At the same time thn he
lief was general that Messrs. Kciiueriind Cam
mack \\ere the source of matt of the selllm
orders , while another interest.which hiisbeei
known to bo bearish upon Mending for sonn
lime , was credited with thu Inauguration o
the movement. Thu liquidation was at
trlbuted to Insiders who omui-cd the policy o
President Mcl.eod In New Kngluml. New Kug
land showed more rallying power In thu lati
tradings. Heading opened nt 401 , nud stendlli
declined lo 401 , and rallied to 42 , uud fallei
to hold the Improvement by closing at 38 , i
loss of 53 pnliiN , while tha transaction
reached the enormous total of 400,000 shares
New Kiigliiud opened at 40 , nnd nt one tlnn
sold up to 40 % , hut from that point retlrei
rapidly to 413 , rallying to 43'i nt the close , i
not loss o2'i ' per cunt. The early oll'orts o
thu hears were directed largely against Suga
and Cordage nnd the former was driven dowi
3 per cent to 121 , while the latter , after open
lug nt 07 , retired to Olvj. Thu declines b
these stocks were accompanied by rumors of I
disagreement In the Cordage pool a.s to th
amount of stock to bo accumulated and o
pool liquidations In Sugar , while certain1 !
both were without support of any kind. Tin
manipulators of tliesu storks , however , tool
hold of them later In thu day and Sugar wa
brought to 125 nnd Cordage from Gl'i to 0494
Sugar dually closed at 1-4'5 , with a gain of ?
iior cent , but Cordage was 2J1 per cent lowoi
The rest of the industrials sympathized on i
scale with these leaders , but their Una
changes are In nil cases Insignificant , with tli
'xccjitlon of Tobacco , which closed with a gall
if 2'a JUT cent , which was entirely In tin
niture of a rally from Its Into depression.
Kallroad .shares were fairly well held , bu
were compelled to yield to the Inlluenceo
these sharp declines , nud despite thusuppor
jlveu by London biiylngof St. Paul , Loulsvlll
mil others among its favorites , the whole 11s
was biought down from * , i to llfpercenl
With the appearance of support In Sugar am
Cordage tlio traders quickly got over loth
long side , and from that tlmo they workei
mrd for a rally. In sto"k.s this was fully ac
complisbed , though thu gains shown wuro fo
small fractions only. Manhattan was shlftei
out with Itssharpness ; , but. finally closed

j.xtrcmely active right up to the close , whlcli

Ing. Hallway bonds were quiet , but while th
Headings were driven down sharply on over ,

TUB IlliB.l There was comparatively n quiet
market for rat tlo today , but the wants of the
trade called for quite as much stock as was
olVered and values were Ilrmly supported.
They were rather stronger where the better
grades of steers were concerned , the onVrliiRS
of well matured and properly fulled lots hi-lng
very few. Strictly llrst class shipping and ex
port steers were salable at from $5.75 to
{ G.1O. From tln < M > llgurcs the quotations
rniipo down to from $1.50 to $1.75 for old straw
cows and emaciated bulls. Extra cows and
heifers sold around $1.00 and ashtli ! as from
H.OO to $4.23 was paid for bulls of e.xtra
quality.
Cholco heavy hos sold within fir of the
highest price yet paid , or at $8.70. That was
lOcabovothe best llguru paid yesterday , and
the general market at the opening wns from
5c to lOc higher ihau on Thursday. The later
sales did not show to as coed advantage ; in
fuel , most of thu onrly advance was lost be
fore 10 o'clock , and the close was quite weak.
With the number leftover from yesterday the.
supply amounted to 30,000 head , most of
which were welched at from $8.00 to $8.20 , for
common to good ll ht , at from $8.20 to $8.40 ,
for medium and mixed , and at from $8.30 to
S8.60 for heavy. Culls and pigs wcro quoted at
from $5.00 to 47.75.
The sheep market has developed surprising
strength when the magnitude of the present
receipts is considered. Although the present
week s arrivals will foot up about 57,000 head
and' the total for the last two weeks reach
115,000 head , prices are very little lower than
the best that haviipiovallcd this season , They
are a shade higher for Rood grades than they
were one nook UKO. There was a fairly actlvu
demand today and the market was .strong at
from $3.25 to 5.30 for poor to choice sheep
and at from $4.25 to $0.30 for lambs of corresponding
spending quality.

weekly review of trutlo says : Exports of
Kohl today will not bo $8,000,000 ns at 0110
time expected , but probably no inoro than
3,000,000 , and the treasury reserve of over
* loy.)00ooo ( ) has not OCI.MI diminished. Moreover -
over , quite n largo purchase of securities on
foreign aeeount nro reported , which would
cancel heavy adverse merchandise balances ,
and to that extent prevent gold shipments.
Distribution of dry needs at liostou Is
lar o. Solo leathci has risen 1 and J cents
nnci uppers arc strong ana hides are linn.
Wool is steady.
At Philadelphia woolen mills are working
full time and western purchases are hirpc ,
and especially of dressing , nnil money In
hotter demand.
At I'ittsburg a better tone Is seen In the
iron marhot.wlth higher prices for Hessemer ,
and the glass trade is improved by combina
tion. The hardware trade is excellent in
Cleveland.
The clothing trade at' Cincinnati is good ,
and the shirt trade is better than last year.
At Detroit business exceeds that of a year
n go.
go.Husincss at Chicago Is better than last
year and collections lire satisfactory. Fears
of n railroad strike and doubts about gold
imiko banks conservative.
Trade at Milwaukee Is Improving and at
St. Paul shows a sligh increase.
llnlnesH Aetl\e lit Oiimlin.
At Omaha business is very active. At St.
Joseph trade Is fair , with money in 'good de
mand , but collections slow.
At Kansas City trade is satisfactory , with
good receipts of grain and liberal of cattle.
Husincss at St. Louis is better and money
is easier.
At Denver trade Is fair.
At most southern points business shows
Improvement , though the movements of
cotton is small and prices somewhat lower.
Speculative markets have been compara
tively quiet in view of moretary uncertain-
tips and somewhat weaker , excepting that
oil has risen > > cents and lard nearly } ;
oj it. Wheat is ' cent lower , with receipts
of 1,000,000 busliels at the west in four days ;
corn is 1 ' 4 cent lower and cotton an 'j , ' cent
lower , though the receipts continue small.
Oats and colteo are each ' 4 cent lower. In
slocks the market bus been somewhat de
pressed by disappointmentabout bond issues.
The woolen works are busy and sales of
wool at the chief markets have a gain of LM
Her vent. .Trade in dress poods is excellent
in every department , in knit goods strong ,
and in carpets as well , but cottons are u lit
tle active.
An imprcecdcnte.l demand Is seen for cop
per iu electrical work , but tin is lower. The
call market is called as sloppy as the weather
has been.
In tint Iron Triiilu.
Iii the iron trade no distinct Improvement
is seen , for , while business is largo , prices
are entirely demoralized by intense competi
tion. Halls are an exception , for 75,000 tons
have been sold -dthout reported change in
price , and structural works are well cm-
ployed , though at very low prices , but the
demand for plate is not up to the capacity of
the works , and bar iron is quite weak.
The financial outlook depends largely ucon
the fact that exports of the principal pro
ducts In January were $29,000,000 smaller
than last year , while imports at Now York
alone were $17,000,000 larger than last year ,
which indicates a considerable excess of im
ports for the month aad explains the heavy
outgo in gold. In February thus far exports
from Now York have been but Httlo below
last year's , though at cotton ports very much
smaller , and in the meanwhile imports show
an enormous incrcaso , over 30 per cent. IJut
these who dread disaster may well remem
ber the rule that when a panic is expected it
ne'vcr comes.
