THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt WEDNESDAY , MARCH 9 , 1808. 11 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL \7bcat Shows a Eull Tendency and Closes Higher. STRENGTH 13 CONFINED TO JULY OPTION Corn IM l.'lrni on Ilrnrwnl of Shipping , ( > nln Clone Illulirr null I'rovUlonii Arc CHICAGO. March 8. Wheat developed Into a bull market late In .the sea-ilon and closed -Tic higher for July. Muy closed un changed. Declines resulting from dullness nnd Irearlsh statistical news were recovered by buylriK by Letter nnd by houses which have been heavy Hellers recently. Corn was firm on tha renewal of shipping business and advanced U < 8ttc. Oats closed ' , c hlgh < Provisions were Irregular , pork losing T c of Its previous value , whllo lard and ribs showed no change. A defined bullish sentiment was apparent nt the opening In wheat. There was a drop In coiifols. rellectlng the apprehensions ot trouble between Kngland nnd Hussla , nnd Llverpoal showed u substantial advance , re porting also that receipts of wheat during the last three days had been considerably below requirements. There seemingly was also less prospect of trouble between the United S'ntes and Spain. Plenty of bonrlsn stulUtlcal news was at hand , but the crowd was too bullish on the European situation to pay any attention to this at Hrst. With u good demand from shorts , July op-nod J,4c hlghunt &i > ) ic , and advanccil nt once to t % e. May opened Wiic higher at $1.0jU 1.05H. T.iu latter delivery , however , has almost ceased to cxcltu Interest. At liUc for July offerings houatns heavier , that being "call" price. There wns free celling against these privileges and also a good deal of scattered realizing. This tc- HUlted In a gradual decline In July to U0c. The heavy receipts hero and In the north west were Inllneiitlal In this decline. Minne apolis * and Duluth reported artlvals of 5"J cars , against S03 last week and 327 a year nco. Chicago receipts were 133 cars , 73 of which were of contract quality. Hesldes the contract wheat from regular sources 51 cars and 21,000 bu , were transferred from un licensed houses. A long period of dullness followed , with prlcen keeping1 within an ex ceptionally narrow range. About this only Incident waa thu support given May by Ix-lter brokers at $1.01 , to which llguro that delivery had declined. Thlw buying pic- vented the market from getting below that Hguro. Around the noon hour the market began to show strength again. Had reports as to the crop conditions In Missouri and Illinois came In. The Atlantic port clear ances amounted to 471,000 bu. liuylng of July by a house which has been a heavy seller lately became quite pronounced , and as Loiter brokers were at the same time supporting May and September , prices slowly recovered. The advance also resulted In a cons-ldenihla broadening of 'the trade us shorts came Into thu market to protect themselves. Predictions of a cold wave to follow rain were Ignored early , but brought In some outside buying' orders late In the session. July advanced to 91Utfi91c ! { nml left off tit yic. Muy closed at ll.UI-Ji and September at S04c. ! Trade In corn was unimportant. The feelIng - Ing was quite , steady all through the ses sion , the revival In the shipping demand balng the principal factor. Cable accept ances were liberal , clearances being put al CGU.OOO bu. Business was monopolized by professionals. May ranged from SOVio tc DOc and closed V&fiVia higher at 20c. Oats were slow , within a very narrow range. Trading , was almost altogether of r scalping order. The feeling was firm , prin cipally through sympathy wllh corn. May ranged from 27c to iOMy8c and closed 'Ac higher at 2Ci27c. ( Provisions were weak most of the time There wan considerable liquidation through commission houses early In the day , am : this , with the decline In prices at the yards caused general recessions , the weakness be. Ing marked In pork. A IMtle buying neai the close caused a better feeling , the mar ket In a general was closing steady. May pork closed T'/ic lower at $10.17 ( , 'May Ian unchanged at $3.1214 and May ribs un changed at $5.10.

The tone of the stock market was much Improved today ns compared with that of yesterday , the ground for the greater confidence In values being the apparent desire of the Spanish government to deprecate any Idea that It deslri-d a rupture with the United States on Its own Initiative or that It fought to Irritate the United States government Into assuming the offensive. The effect of this waa defined In n shalp recovery of Spanish 4s Iwth In London nnd Paris. Americans also were much steadier on the foreign exchanges , but there was nothing In. the eaily quotations from there to give n foretaste of the harp advances nt the opening here. The market was quite ag gressively urong during the whole of the earlier part of the day , but It Is questionable whether this was due to any large amount of buying for new accounts. That the short Interest was largely Increased yesterday was easily to be seen und shrewd professional manipulators were able to discern this morning that the market was In an oversold condition. The better out look In the relations between Spain und the United States made.thc shorts nervous nnd there was something of a ncranilile to recover nt the open4ng. The rl ? was defUned to uncover bear margins nnd the keen demand at the advance Indicated the measure successful. It did not re quire much to renew liquidation and the close waa almost at last night's point. Covering by belated shorts caused n light stiffening In the final dealings. Outside of the professional ma nipulation there was little doing In the market. Same buying was retried for London nnd Washington account. The continued movement of gold , the easier tone of money , yesterday's flurry being apparently ended , a numhor of divi dend announcements nnd the statement that no bond Iseue would be made necessary by the proposed appropriation of $30,000 , < MM for national defense , were all factors toward the confident views on the situation. Operations , nevertheless , were pursued with conservatism. Except in n few specialties changes were confined to frac tions. Changes In northwestern railway Btockt were further conspicuously strong In spite ol the continuance of the transcontinental rate war. Plttxl.urir , Cincinnati , Chicago St , Loula stocks were weak , the common losing ! points and the preferred 2i. Honda showed stiength In sympathy wit * stocks , but resisted the late weakness In the market , except Kansas Pacific consols , wlilo ! ' lost all the early advance , amounting to nearly 2 points. Total sales , $3,123,000. United States 4s , registered , were down 2Vi nnd United States 4s , coupon , were \ - ' lower bid todny. The EveningPost's London financial cablegram says : The market * opened steady today on tht closing of the Consul General Lee Incident , bul roon Rave way on further heavy forced liquida tion , prior to the settlement , ami on the new : of the queen's slight Indisposition. Contois a' ' one time were quoted nt HO ? ; . There wan t general reaction nt the close. The differences ti be met at the settlements nr very heavy , how ever , and oyaslon anxiety.

" ' The scarcity of good cattle would , under ordinary circumstances , tend to make buyers indifferent and the market slow , but the demand was so active today that everything sold regardless of quality , strong"S badl The Kellcral market was strong BKKISTKERS A Rood share of the 128 loans of cattle here consisted of beef steers , nut In tl-o whole number there wns not a sltmlo choice load , and few that could be called Rood. Innot. . the best cattle In. the > arils were only good enough to bring $1.70 , tncro being no loads In the yards to compare with the | l.7o4.30 cattle here yesterday , ihe mon of the offerings were either hall fat , or else coarse , heavy , and rough cat tle , the very kind that buyers least desire , noted above , however , the demand was good , both prickers and shippers being In the field 'with ' liberal orders , and the offerings changed hands rapidly , so that an early clearance was effected. Good , strong nrlces were paid for everything.

H.Rider Rider Haggard , Author of "Sho , " "King : Solomon's Mince , " Etc. , Etc. , Has Completed Another Story Entitled "ELIS8A" The hero of the story Is n grnud- son of King Solomon on an ex pedition to the Golden Oithlr of * the Bible. A Romnnco of Pro-Historic Africa , Daringly Imaginntlvo nnd Vull of Thrilling Action. This story began publication In THE SUNDAY BEE As a Serial , In Ten Instalments , February 13. ( With Illustrations. ) la this etory Mr. Haggard makes a cow demonstration of his won derful power In the field of pure romance. He once more boldly lifts tha curtain that hide * the fate of nations dead and burltd In the agea of which no record remain * , except In the silent rut no of their cities. Zlraboe , an Inland trading city ttiat flourished In tbo heart of Africa 8,000 years ago , and peopled by the Phoenicians , la the econo of the Btory. To this city cornea Prtaco Azlel , a grandaon of King * ' Solomon , accompanied by Isaacbar , a priest of terocl , and Metem , Phoenician trader , who brings a canvan of merchandise. In Elista , daughter of Sakon , king of Zlmboo , the princemecta bis fate. King Ithobal , lord of many legions of sav ge warriors , la al ready a suitor for her hand. He eues la true barbarian fashion , eeeks to carry her off by force , and la tolled ID the attempt by Prince Ariel. The etory unfolda Itself around ihe feud between the Prince of lerael and the eavage King Itho bal. Ellcsa baa given ber heart to Azlel , and loitha the barbarian monarch. Isaachar , < tbo prieat , la determined that no prince of the house of David ( hall wed a heathen maiden , whoso people worship Baal. Aa a result of his Intrigues , Ellssa is elected the high prlcatcsa of Baal. This fixes on ImpaMJble religious gulf between her and Azlel. Their passionate love secka to eurmouat all barriers. Meantime , Itliobil draws hla huge army of Ravages around the fated city , and demandIng - Ing Ell sea In marriage , prepares to destroy It If ho la refused. How Elista violate * her oith aa high priestess and prepares to fly with Azlel ; how they are both discovered and threatened with death by the prleste of Baal ; liow , to save each other , she , by her right act the high prlcstcaa of Baal , names him her husband , while ho renounce * bis faith ind offers Incenee to Baal ; how Ithobal's horde of savages storms the walls of the city , and both Azlel and KIlEoa ( all Into hte power ; and how , at last , Azlel ea- capca with his life by Elleoa'a feigned submission to Ithobal , she In turn escaping Ithobal by killing herself , Is all told In Mr , Haggard's mcxit fascinating manner. The awful ceremonies In the tem ple of Baal , the weird rites In the sacred groven of Zlmboe. and the barbarous battle scenes of that far- off time , are described with all the author's marvelous wealth of Imag- Inatlve resource. It la a story that will surely rank as one of the great work * ot fiction of 1893. In the Sunday Bee Watch for It ! Read It !
