THIS OMAHA DAILY HER : TIIUUSIUY. APRIL in lflJl.1. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Was Weak at the Start and finished at a Fractional Loss , CORN WAS FIRM AND CLOSED UNCHANGED Only n .Sntnll IttulnrM Wnt Trnninctrtl In OntR I'riivlilnnt Were ICnnlt-r nt tlio Opening on Account of Henry ItccelptA , CHICAGO , April IS. Wheat was weak nt the start and finished with a loss of % c for May. Favorable crop reports were responsi ble for the weakness and overcame a tempo rary advance caused by California drouth and an advance at Minneapolis , Corn wan firm and closed unchanged. Oats closed < 4u lower for May and provisions finished higher throughout the list , A heavy feeling pervaded the wheat market at tlio opening on account of the rain , which was falling over n great portion of the win ter wheat area. A more considerable de cline than the ' /&c or so which occurred at the start was provoked by knowledge that In California the drouth was still unbroken and that the sleet and snow storms reported ( rein the northwest would cause further delay In seeding operations. Then trading came to almost n standstill for a couple of hours In the middle of the session , and at no time during the forenoon was there any heavy trading. The opening prices were quite Ir regular , but In every case at Uc lower thnn they closed yesterday , and In a majority of Instances at Vic lower. The range for May In the first second or two was from 60'.ic ' to Me , and for July from 62c to GHic ; May went down DSftc and July from C2c to filVtC , and then recovered to COI&C and from ( il'c to C2 > 4c respectively , following which there were numerous > , c fluctuations. The first rally already referred to was caused by the strength displayed by the Minneapolis market. While May wheat hero was ' ,4c lower than It closed yesterday , at Minne apolis It was "sc higher , but the Minneapolis advance being confined to May future It lost HH first effect as a bullish factor. The mar ket became firm when shortly after 12 fi'oloek It was shown that wheat In San Kninclsco at the opening was 3c per cental higher than on Monday last. Dispatches from there used strong expressions In char acterizing the extent of damage to the Cali fornia crops. May rose to GOVic , but by 1 o'clock It was back to COc. The market clostd weak at 59T4c sellers. Corn was very linn except at the close. Fluctuationi ; had a range of % c , and the price during the greater part of the Resslon was kept above yesterday's closing rate. The heaviness with which wheat closed rniiRpil xvnnhnpss In rnrn nlsn. Only a small business was transacted In oats. The fine weather and more favorable reports tended to bring about more sellers. The provision market was easier at the opening on account of the receipts of 33,000 hogs at the yards and a decline of from lOo to luc In their price. At the decline with which the day's trading was Inaugurated there was a good demand from shorts nnd that continued during the greater part of the remainder of the session. Pork opened off from 2V4c to Be and closed with a gain for the day of 17Vic. Lard started with a decline from 2'ic to Be and wound up with an advance of lOc. Hlbs sold oft from 2V c to 7',4c early and then became strong and closed 12' c higher than they did yesterday.

Share Spcculiitlon Ycstcrilay Was ( Jultc Unscttli-il In Character. NEW YORK , April 18. The share specu lation today 'was ' unsettled In character. During the morning the market was strong In tone , particularly for the Industrials , In which the chief activity was displayed , the railway list being rather neglected In the early dealings. General Electric , which had been advanced 1 % per cent by the bull pool formed some time ago , began to show signs of weakness about the middle of the after noon and was singled out for attack by the bears. The selling movement In these shares was quickly communicated to the general market , nnd with the exception of some In consequential rallies the tendency during the rest of the day was downward. The lowest figures were touched Just before the close , nt which the decline from the highest point ranged from U to 2 per cent , the latter In General Electric , while Chicago Gas had re ceded 1 % per cent ; American Tobacco , 1 % per cent ; Uubber , 2 per cent ; Rubber pre ferred , 2y > per cent , and rtoclc Island , 1V4 per cent. In the final sales some of the stocks recovered a Email fraction , but the tone of speculation at the close was decid edly heavy. Compared with yesterday's final sales , the last prices made for the active Hat show but trifling changes. The bond market was firmer during the morning and early afternoon , but became heavy dur ing the last hour In sympathy with the share speculation and closed weak. The Evening Post says : The professional element dominated the market. The senti ment expressed toward the grangers was In the balance bearish. It was based on the rate wars and threatened labor troubles of western roads and the feeling that the mar ket of the higher priced stocks Is now under going a natural reaction. This found ex pression In a selling movement by room traders at the opening , who , after disposing of their stock , put out short lines. The market reacted of Its own accord. The advance - vance In the Industrials , which found Its greatest expression In Sugar , Chicago Gas and Distillers , was largely manipulative In Us character , and wns too well understood to have nny but a reflex effect on the rail road list. It was doubtless the hope ot the professionals who engineered the movement that It would extend to the grangers. The Chicago Gas "uncertainty" was made lo do further duty , while an accommodating at torney general remained in the background. Distillers was resurrected as a "speculative favorite.

Receipts today wcru only fair. Compared with last Wednesday they show n falling olT of about 2,600 cattle anil nearly ns many hogs , So far this week , compared with the llrst half of last week , there has been little change In cattle anil hog supplies , while re ceipts of sheep Mavo more thnn doubled. The run of cattle fell nearly 4,000 short of Tuesday's big supply , nnd fully u fourth of the offerings arrived too late for thu fore noon's market. Aside from tlio reduced re ceipts , conditions were very much the snmo as on Tuesday. Other markets were re ported lower , nnd while pastern butchers wanted somn cattle and there was n tnodor- nto speculative Inquiry buyers wore all talkIng - Ing lower prices. The fair to good light and medium weight steers , on which dressed beef men and outsiders came In direct com petition , sold to the best advantage and gen erally nt full Tuesday's prices , while the heavier cattle , especially whcro a trllle coarse or not exactly fat , sold at unevenly lower prices. Fair to very good 1,200 to 1,500-lb. beeves s-old at from $3.70 to $1.20 , while fair to c < oed 900 to lir > 0-lb. steers sold at from $3.lip to J4 , with scattering sales of common and Inferior stuff down to $3. There was a tolerably active movement throughout , and although a good shnru of the offerings arrived late a Very fair clear ance was finally effected , the market closing active and firm. Active and strong expresses the condition of the cow market. The supply did not In clude over n , dozen loads all told , and as the demand was good from all sources buyers lost no time In picking them up. There was no particular change In the mar ket for veals , nor for rough stock generally. Prices for the most part were Just about In yesterday's notches. The feeder trade was good enough an far as It went , but owing to the limited supply of both fresh and stale cattle the volume of trading was not large. Itoth yard traders and count iy buyers wanted supplies and prices generally ruled stronger. Good to choice feeders are quoted at from $3.10 to $3.75 , fair to good at from $2.75 to $3 , and lighter , commoner grades at from $2.75 down. Representative sales : DHESSED IJEUF. No. Av. Pr.
