OMAHA OITICB. Peb H With cable * U
lower nnd the papers claiming that Mr. Lflto
had sold S.W.OOO bll of hH May wheat yesterda
caused our market to open % c lower than } cs
terday's close. Tills weakness was taken ad
vantage of and owlsted to a further break
touching as low As $1 02 < 4 for May b > the Kite
brokers , the selling being to produce nn tm
preeslon In accordance with the write-up n
abovu mentioned The news , too , was of
rather bearish nature However , after this low
point had been touched , the market again ni
vanccl and worked slow nt short turns , llnnll
eloping nt Jl 03H , or Just the opening price fo
May wheat , and SSSc for July wheat , or %
lower than yeMcrjj > ' clo-e , with nothing doln
or without any change In the cash market
llecelpts today vvcro 27 cars , principally tprln
wheat , with an ettlnmtc for tomorrow of 60
cant
The cash dcmandi for corn Is evidently not n
good at the edvanre as It has been during th
last few diys and the weakness In wheat had U
effect In the futures of this cereal , though th
opening was practically unchanged from jester
day's close , It worked off to 30'sC for May , o
"So lesrt than > estcrdaj's closing prices , and 'i
for Jul > .
Hecelpts ; are 337 cars , with nn estimate of 63
can tomorrow
OatH followed the procession , showing fully a
ninth weakness ni corn on receipts of but 17
cars , with 200 estlmited for tomorrow.
Wo cannot help but continue our last oplnlo
of the mnrKct , believing that It has not je
rcnx-hcd the high point nnd that all of then
tlmrp fetbicks arc certainly profitable bus In
groun 1 , nnd a < 4 In the pa t will be healthy fea
turei of an advancing market.

Receipts vveie only moderate today , 1S3
cars nil told So fat this week , compared
with last , there has been a palm of nearly
2,000 cattle , 7,000 hogs nnd 5,000 sheep.
CATTLC Hecelpts were a few hundred
smaller than on yesterday , but several hun
dred larger than on last FUday. There
were only a few choice cattle on sale , most
of the offerings hardly giadlng "good. "
BliCr STIVERS The demand , as on
Thursday , wns practically confined to the
local dressed beef men , as shippers and
exporters were doing nothing. Local pack
ers were a little more nnxlous for the cattle
than on jestetday , and the really desira
ble becve-f sold nt fully Htc.idy prices Com
mon stuff was slow and for some of the
warmed-up stuff the feeder buyers were
better bidders than the killers. It was u
slow , but about steady market , and most
everything useful was disposed of by noon
BUTCHERS' STOCK The market was
just about steady at the recant decline ot
20c to 23c. Supplies wore not very large ,
but buyers were not wanting the stuff bad
enough to spring the market any. There
were about fifteen loads on sale , and they
were nil picked up In good season. Calves
wore scarce and llrm , nnd bulls , oxen and
stags sold at steady prices
STOCKDRS AND rUCDDRS Yard trad
ers were tolerably active buyers of the com
paratively limited offerings today , and at
fully steady prices , as a rule. Good , light
stock was strong , and some of the warmed-
up stuff shipped In for beef sold na feeders.
Prices shot ved no particular change , and the
volume ot business was rather sin ill. Rep
