THE OMAHA DAILY HKK ; TUMSIJAY , inSKKUAK * 2.1 , 1H5) ) | . COJIJIERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Opened Weak , but Becaino Strong Toward Noon , EARLY TRADES WERE AT A DtuLI" ! Thin IVn * Ascribed to thn Amount of that Ccrenl on Ocean PniiBo ; " ' "I the Unity IteANlled from tlio Visi ble Supply Heport. CHICAGO , Feb. 2(3. ( Whcnt was weak at both ends nnd strong In the middle of to day's session , closing with a loss of 7&c for Mny. A decrease In the visible sup ply caused a temporary firmness , but free selling , an Increase In the amount of wheat and Hour on ocean passage and rumora favorable to "Farmer" Hatch's anti-option blil were lee much for the bulls nnd Ihe mar ket wns generally weak. Corn closed % c lower ; Mny onts lie lower and provisions lower all around. The opening trades In wheat were at a decline of from % c to ? ic as compared with the prices current on Saturday. There wns n gradual hardening of the prices for nn hour and a half , during which time particu lars of the visible supply statement were coming In. That being satisfactory to the hulls , when It was completed the harden ing process continued for n few minutes , nnd then dissolved entirely. The trade had been light during the time referred to nnd those who felt disposed lo buy wheat on the announcement of n dccrcaso of 1 , 10,000 bu. In the visible supply which wns the change announced In the week's stock had nlrcndy done so , when 1'ardrldge nnd Lemliig came upon Iho scene with selling orders , which for n time appeared to have no limit. There were no buyers left on the spot to take those offerings sufficiently fast nnd the re sult wns a collapse. The opening decline was ascribed to the following causes : Tlio amount of wheat on ocean passage showed nn Increase of 872,000 bu. slnco n week ngo ; the Liverpool market wns n shade easier for futures , quoting lid decline ; the Now York stock nnd cotton markets had a weak stnrt and the weather was not sug gestive of any danger to the wheat plant. The subsequent rally was owing to the de creases in the visible supply as the returns came to hand. The opening for May wns nt from 69'/ic to G9c nnd It gradually worked up to from C9c to COc and then dropped like n struck steer to r/J' c. The clenrances from the four principal Atlantic ports amounted In wheat nnd flour to about 200,000 bu. The Indian shipments for the week were 100,000 bu. The taking of the Match anti-option measure out of the hands of the ways nnd means committee and placing It with the agricultural committee In the house of representatives today seemed a further stub administered to the market , which caused It to fall again before It had well recovered from the previous assault. The closing cables were discouraging , but after n break to C8c Mny recovered a trifle , closing only % c from the bottom. There was n fnlr trade In corn , though prices did not cover a very wide range. The feeling was weak and the tone heavy from the start. The large receipts Induced con- Bldcrnblo selling. The opening trades showed declines of from VJc to Vic , but the market held steady at these figures some little time , the buying of about L',500,000 bu. of Mny by n prominent concern steadying the market. There was also good buying by commission houses , which was credited to n large Individual trader , which also helped check the decline. After these buy ing orders were executed the offerings again Increased nml prices sagged down from Vic to&c , rallied a fraction. ' became quiet and closed with May but Vic from the day's bottom figures. In oats there was a good trade early , there being very free selling by several large operators , but their offerings were well taken. Late In the day the trading was light nnd the offerings were not 'large. The In fluences , were mostly.bullish , ThQ .Visile filipply decreased 4 , OUO bu. last week. Re ceipts for the day were but 193 cars , with 190 cars expected tomorrow. May opened ? aO lower , advanced Vic and reacted MiC to the close midway between the day's top and bottom figures. With the arrivals of live hogs at the yards largely In excess of the estimates and a de cline In prices for them , provisions opened weak and lower and then ruled fairly steady for n time on Iho support accorded by a prominent commission house and two lending packing' Institutions. The volume of trading was light with corresponding offerings. A heavy feeling manifested Itself subsequently , the market suffering a further decline on the weakness of wheat , many hogs arriving and the fact that there Is practically no short Interest out. There was , too , an almost en tire absence of outside support. The trading was quite light. There was n moderate re action near the end of the session , the pack ers bidding tip. the market and particularly for pork , the greater part of the loss being recovered , with the close steady. Compared with Saturday's close May pork Is 20c lower ; May lard 7 Vic lower , and May ribs 7' c lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat , 70 cars ; corn , C30 cars ; oats , 190 cars ; hogs , 20,000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows : " ArlIcieS ! Oic'u. | | High.

STOCKS AND IIONDS. Week Opened Quiet on the KxclmiiRO with an Unsettled Tone. NEW YORK , Feb. 2C. The week opened quiet on the Stock exchange , but with n decidedly unsettled tone to the speculation. A by no means Inconsiderable amount of the juylng was for the short account. Owing : o the narrowness ot the London market the arbitrage houses did little business , al though there were some sales of Loulsvlllo & Nnshvlllo for the foreign account. The west was a heavy buyer of distilling , largely : o cover short contracts , nnd Philadelphia bought Reading In the , -bellef that the , re organization Is almost realized. Sugar was the leader of the market. After an advance of % per cent at the opening the stock began to sag and a heavy selling movement was developed on unfavorable tariff advices. Large blocks of stock were thrown on the market and resulted In n break In the shares of 2 % per cent , with only recovery of > 4 per cent at the close. The preferred stock recorded n decline of L % per cent. Both shares were weak In the final dealings on a report that raw nnd refined sugars were to bo taxed alike. Distilling was moved up 1 per cent In the early dealings on purchases to cover short contracts. Then came rather free selling , ns if a bull pool was endeavoring to liquidate on the advance , nnd prices took a dip of 1 % ) er cent. This was followed by renewed juylng , resulting In n recovery of 1 per cent nt the close. A strong tone chnractor- zcd the dealings In the grangers , of which 31. Paul wns most prominent , and the clos- ng figures show nn advance on the dny of % to % per cent. The board of directors of St. I'aul lines will meet March 8 to con sider the dividend nnd the best opinion ot : hu street Is thnt the regular dividend will > o declared. The January btntcment Issued ; oday Is moio favorable than was antlc- patcd , nnd wns the main cause of the strength of St. I'aul and Its sister stock. Lead declined from Saturday's closing of [ i& per cent on liquidation sales , Induced > y the recent break on the stock due to the proposed advance of the duty on white cad. Subsequently the lower range of values nttrncted purchasers with the result of an advance of 1 % per cent , of which only if , per cent had been lost at the close. In the llnnl dealings the railway list was Inn , notably for the grangers , while the ndnstrlula except Distilling closed rather lenvy. The railway and miscellaneous bond 1st wna weak throughout the dny and closed lepresscd In tone.
