THE OaLAHA BALLY /WEDNESDAY : , APIIEL 2-i , 1895. C011JILRC1AL AND FINANCIAL "Wheat Turned Sharply and Started Down at a Hot Pace , BEARISH NEWJ ENCCURAGED SELLERS Corn \Vn Weak at tlio Oponlnij Under the Influence of the llrcnlc In Wheat Untilero 1'Hlrljr Actlro Throughout tlio I ) y < CHICAGO , April 23.-Whrat turned Almrply today and started down nt a hot pace. Lack of demand and free selling weakened wheat and the other markets fol lowed. Wheat closed at a decline for the day of lVic per bu. , corn at a loss of IVic , oats He ( lower and hog products llnlshcd nt declines. Wheat started at Hie decline. Shorts had apparently covered to contentment and there wan much bearish news to encourage sellers. The public Liverpool cable giving the opening of the market described It ns utcady at J/id decline. Another Liverpool cable culd that millers were refusing to follow the advance , price M lower since the opening. The Russian phlpments of wheat and Hour for the week were reported to bu 2,100,000 bu. , and an addition of the clearances from all the exporting countries reveals a total of 8,389,000 bu. , compared with estimated weekly requirements by the Importing countries of G.700,000 bu. , or nn excess of 1,689,04) bu. for the week. The receipts for the day nt Minneapolis ) and Dulllth were 2S ( ! cars' , compared with I'M cars on the coi responding day of the year before. An Hem of considerable significance was a ( imitation of J2.Wi for gold ut Huenos Ayres , which Is from 14 to ID per cent higher than the premium , milking Argen tine wheat cheaper to the Kngllsh Importer , Just as the rrcent advance In silver made Indian wheat dearer. An offset against tint matter was anothi r dlsjiatc'i ' from llosn- rlo. which cnld holders of wheat were llrm and stocks light. New York ( Il-patche.s re ported thirty boat loads of wheat taken for exiKirt there yest-rday. and commission lieu cs here had plenty of Innulr es front country miller * for No. 2 red. ' 1 he cash di-mand from country millers was good , but wad not on n Bullirlently extensive scale to offset the efTei't of the rlennlng out of all the short wheat. Homo manipulation of the May deal In Kt. Louis , which ran the prlee thcre up to C3c about 12 o'clock , caused n nervous fecllnir here , and nn advance of lc per bu. over the lowest price July and May wheat sold for tit the opening. Ihe bt. Ixuls scare was quickly got over and the reviving bullish feeling here was Imme diately shattered with the breaking of what IB being styled the St. Ixnils coiner. 'Ihe opening of May was at from lie to We. nnd of July nt from CIVjC to Clc , us com pared with the respective closing prices of Cl c nnd C2c on the day before. A few pales of May were made nt as low as G'JTfco. ' The latter recovered to GO'Jic , and July to 62c before the second break began , and at nbout the bottom of which the market closed. May declined to M'ic and July to roic. The latest trading was at Mvic for May and C0c for July. Primary market receipts amounted to BB.OOO 1m. , aga list 181,000 on the corresponding day of last week , and 221.IXX ) bu. a year ago. Kxport clearances from the Atlantic ports were rqual to I.TU.O'O bu. In wheat and flour. Uradstreet'H statement of the stocks of the world gave them nt 2,383,000 bu. less than they were a year ago. The corn market was weak at the start und'r the Influence of the break In wheat. May. which closed yesterday at 4&Ueyas for sale at the start at from -ii-fic to lijfec , and soli ! ns low ns at from 47'ic ' to * before It had any reaction. It reacted to from 47 : > ic to 47'Ao , but broke from that point gradually at first and then rapidly until It touched 4UTic near .the close , the latest trading being nt 47V > , c. Outs w. re fairly active throughout. To n jrrcat extent reactions followed the course of the wheat market. Hrndstreet's Increase in the visible supply of oats or 3.B.OOO Im. ivas credited with assisting the decline. The feature ot the maiket was the widen ing of the difference between May nnd July. At the opening of the session May was selling nt n premium of > .ic over July , nt the close prices were % c apart , caused by an improved Inquiry for May , while the late buyers of July today were dlspos- Inir of same quite freely. May sod from 2SMc to 28'ic , declined to i&Vnc , and closed nl from 28ic to 2Sc. July ranged from from 2So to . aw , Vj ? 2B' > O to 2Sc , rested ut itum * .uv to lie lower tlmn that yesterday. The provision market was rather quiet , with very little disposition to trade shown liy the Hpecuhitors. neorge Hnldwln tried to wulto up Home feeling on the bull side , lint received very Blonder support and re tired. The decline In wlisitt nnd dullness in the hog market were given as the reason for the apathy In the products. Huctua- tlons were light , und at the close the rc- tluctlona In price wre not homy. 1 orlc , compared with Its value at the close yester day.

Movement In Securities Hecclvcil n Tresti ImpetiM Yestnrilnf. NEW YOUIC , April 23.-Thc upward movement on the Slock exchange received fresh impetus today and a higher range of values was estab lished In the gi rater number of the slmrcs dealt In. Speculation was active at the opening of business nnd the first prices made were gen erally higher than lust night's cloning figure * . In the early trading fractional gains were made , except In the coal snares , against which n bear demonstration was made , pending the quotations down 1 per cent for New Jeisey ( Central and n frnctlon for the rest of the ll t. The general market soon became Irregular. Pullman broke 3 per cent nnd Uny Slate Gas advanced 2 per cent , Manhattan lit per cent , nnd others fractionally. Shortly after 11 o'clock prices look an upward turn , New Jersey Central rising Hi per cent ; Pullman , ' 1-ong Island Traction nml llnlllmnre & Ohio Southwestern , 1 per cent ; Duluth , South .Share & Atlantic , 2 per cent ; Duluth , South Shore & Atlantic preferred , 1 % per cent , nnd other shares ' 0 % per cent. Subsequently Chicago cage Gas fell back H per cent , New Jersey Central , ? i per cent , and Cleveland , Columbus , Chicago & St. Louis preferred , 1 per cent. He- fore noon the market had recovered Its tone. In the early afternoon there wns an easing off ot prices , which did not exceed a fraction , except In New Jersey Central , the loss In that mock being1'4 per cenl. The Cordage slmren nbout this time developed strength nnd the common moved up per cent , the preferred Hi per cent nnd the guaranteed 14 per cent. The latter slock reacted Vi per cent before the close. Lncledo Gas also rope 1 per cent. The changes between 1 nnd 2 o'clock were unimportant , excepting ft recovery of 1 per cent In New Jersey Central and a decline of ! * per cent In Manhaltnn. As delivery hour approached speculation grew active and strong , and parllcularly for the grangers. Nmthwestem rose ' ,4 per cent ; North western preferred , 2 per cent ; Hock Island.

At the clone1 the market was active nnd buoyant , with the grangers and olher stocks nl tin- best price of Hie year.

For the week thus far the receipts amount to 1,830 , cattle. 4.8CS hogs and 0.01C sheep , as against 3,913 cattle , 5,020 hogs and 210 sheep Monday and Tuesday of last week. CATTLE There were nil told thirty-seven fresh loads of cattle In the yards , nn ex tremely light run for a Tuesday , nml less than half the number- received on Tuesday of last week. The demoralized condition of the market for the past week or more Is the apparent cause for the small number of cattle now coming forward. While there were only n few cattle here all told , the bulk consisted of beef steers , the larger proportion being cornfed natives. There were , however , a few westerns scat tered through the yards. While there was no great activity In the market , the buyers acted more as if they wanted some cattle and they took hold better. A large proportion tion of the cattle sold early In the day. The prices paid were about the same as yester day , and the market could hardly be quoted otherwise than steady. Little New Jlexlco steers , about 800 Ibs. , sold at $3.53 , and fair 1,105-lb. westerns at $1.03 , and among the natives fair to good heavy cattle , above 1,400 Ibs. , sold at Jo.15ff3.lj , and lighter weights , 1,050 to 1,100 Ibs. , at from $1.50 to There were only about two or three loads of cows and helfero In the yimls , not enough to make u nintkut. The bikers took what there were nt about yesterday's prices. The offerings of stackers and feeders were light , but fully equal to the requirements of buyers. The demand ut the present time appears to be largely for the light stock cattle of good quality , and cattle ol that de scription arc bringing more money than the heavier feeders.
