THE OMAIIA DAILY BEEl FBIDAY , APJRlL 20. 189S. 11 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Hakes Another Adrance on Foreign Strength. fiEAl'ZNG ' RESULTS IN WEAK CLOSING OInr nnd Jnlr U'ht-nt Arc Corn nnil Onto I'.nrlt Uecord ( inlni , \Millr PrmUlon * Decline. CHICAGO , April M. Influenced by sensa tional advances at KngllsYi grain centers wheat today on 'change sold 3i4c above yes- 4crday'fl closing price. Hut heavy ren.lzlng from beginning to end of the session caused a roncUon'ln all quotations nnd the closing was relatively ns weak as the opening was strong. Jjily closed % c higher ; May , Hie higher : corn and oats gained % Tlc ; pro- ilitons suffered declines of "ViOloc on pack ers selling. Traders In wheat 'nail nn exciting time during the first hour today on account of the violent advance at Liverpool , but there was an cvlddnMndlsposltlon on the pnrt of ' rn-uiy to allow' excitement abroad to un lilnge their own Judgment at home. A gen eral Impression prevailed among traders that foreigners were becoming hysterical over t'ne supposition that Spiln may Inter fere with the export movement of products , Hut another portion of the trade Interprets the wild advance abroad to the sudden dis covery by .foreigners that there Is not enough Hour arid wheat available anywhere to keep I'rietn supplied until the next har dest. The , reasonings of thes two factions here cnuseiL the market to fluctuate vlo lenlly until about the middle of the session , v. hen the ; bears appeared to bo on top. An advance of SQlOUc for July and May at Liv erpool and smaller rises nt Paris and Ant werp were saFd _ to be the result of American covering , but e'xporters sold several cargoes of No. l northern to Liverpool nt $1.41 , and private cablegrams sUd English millers were blddlnn excitedly for w'nent. Chicago received 123 cars today , agnln.it 4 last year. Minneapolis nnd Duluth reported 333 , com pared with 3W n year OKO. , Atlantic ports cleired CiS.CW bu. of wheat and flour. July , which started Z' flS c higher nt 97ViS9Sc } , declined rapidly to We , rallying Just ns quickly to Ui'/sC. This range was covered Hcvcra.1 ! times. When July was Belting around tSc near the close n private cable gram from Argentine reported an Increase In the estimated wneat yield of that coun try to 40OCOCCO bu. It caused enough selling- to break July to 9"c , the low point of the day , but a quick rally to J0l4e followed. July closed at the la t named figure , a net gain of % < a-T4fc. May sold between $1.21 nnd $1.24 , el sins Itfc higher nt $1.22'i. Corn "started strong with Liverpool , which closed. iy2d hlgner. General realizing offset the mas of bullish Influences and after nd- vanclnfj IVic the market weakened and closed at'the bottom. The crop was rather unfavorable. Aggregate sales of nbout 1- 2M.OOO bu. .were made for direct export and eastern H'nlrmirnts. Taking In the hedges on this amount caused momentary steull- noss. Atlantic clearances were C3.200 bu. July opened HfilHc 'nlgher at 3JVii(3oc. ( de clining to 3l } c nt the ind , a net gain of We. Oils vvertj Quiet but llrm on export sales of 310.00) bu. Covering of this line closed May at the top , a net qaln of fkic. Loc-il re ceipts were 30 > > cars. July opened Jc higher nt 'J5o nnd closed He net higher at"I P- Provisions started fairly strong , but closed nt the bottom on free selling by packers , rorolgm-rs appeared Indifferent nnd small declines abroad were reported. Liberal hog receipts nre having a l > enrl h eff rt and packers nre more active t'nnn for some time past. July pork rnnped at $11.23 ( fill.SO. closing 13c lower nt $11 f 2.

The daj's business was not by any means large , and there we'e prolonged period' of dullness lietwten the spurts of actlx.tj. There was no out'lde Interest In the market of any Itiipor- tance. and the buying wan du ; to the In tlatUe of cne or two prominent cp ratoi who dis tributed orders with a llbeml hand all through the BCtUp 1'st. This leiderahlp Invited m leer or lets following amons thi B-null rocm traders The bulnff was based on 'the lonllilent BH3umi > - tlon that , the ai p-oiohlnp naval cngigcment off the Phil pplne wrou'd result In fa\or of the United Stnt"s \ el' Hull operator' exprer-e. thcmf elves conflJent that such \lclory woulf be "gcod for a 5 point life In the active tock . " The BllKht declines at the open'ng. duo to the henvlre'H of the I idon market , anj winch dlil not nt any tlmo fall to the I ondon pirlly , were qulcklj overcome. The excellent tradlc rtato mnf of the granger roadthe - St. Paul state ment ofepterdn > being supplemented by the Ilurl'i'Bton's ' toda > , were n'HO factor' In the strength. The grangers were con plcucu3 In th trading and led the advanc * In tha railroad 1st No doubt the distinctly easier lone on th < money market had someth'nB to do with th < awakening of the speculative Interest' . Thi friendly consultation jesterday between the eec retailof the trtorury and a number of tlmn clcra found Its effect In n feeling of conlldenc < 'that the wants of the treasury could easily be met. Money was plentiful today and loans wen. made as low ns Ife per cent. Hates for tim loans were lower from 5'4 to C i er cent for al periods. It Is significant nlsD of future pros pccts In the money market that lenders hell ou for long periods at exlst'ns ' rates , while btr rowers want money for not more than sixty dajn In plte of easier conditions foreign ex chang-5 y'e ded today. The keen demand Db-oad fcr lood proJucts iffe'ted exchange nnd a h fhf discount late la exp cttd. The demand fcr ex change by the government to pay fcr war ma ter.al has ceased The shipments of money continued to the Interior , but In uma'l volume The currency famine makea It nccessiry to ship and that Is not what Is wanted. Therp wa seme increase of activity In the bond market but It was connned almost entirely to the tpv : u'.atlve Issues , which ho.ved higher prlcea In ympathy with stocks. Total sales. $1.02j > .0.0 United States new Is , registered , advanced per cent , and the oil Is. registered. , per cent while the new 1s , coupon , dec'lned Vt per con In the bid prices. Others were unchanged The Kvenlnc Post's London financial cable gram says : The irtock market ; waa steady todai ( except In ono spot noted later ) on the Dank of England's return , nnd the further Inllow of geld. The main feature was a further rise In Brazil and Argentine stocks Americans were tvcs- lected here , but were supported at the close by New York , apparently on the bombardment In cident. The Klondike group was specially strong. Union Paeltlc preferred bid -only on dividend rumors. The further rt-e In silver , and the Increased activity , were due to America withholding pupplies , and tha nnnouncememnt of a French mintage order for COOW to be tendered on Saturday. Some persons say the order la reallv fcr i-paln. I" connection with the recent rise In America. In wheat nd other grains and hemp I learn that those here concerned In the movement are now Insuring their profits at Llo\ds The charge for wheat ranges from 6 to 10 gulnpif. The Bank of Spain's return shows the effect of the recent run by a decrease of JC1.7W.OW In the silver reserve The minimum Irgnl proportion of the bullion to notes nxiulred by the Bank of Spain Is ) 3S per cent. The pres ent flmiro Is 37 pw cent. Tha Spanish exchange la selling at U peoetaa tn the 1. the lowest rate on record Two weeks ago the rate Wai S7 > 1. The dlHcultles In the West Australian market nre coming to a head. Two failures were announced today. The cause of this trouble Is meeting his creditors at the time I am cabllig. Thirty-two brokers nr Involved , and the debtor appears to have nothing to offer. Heavy los s j mi'M follow and perhaps a scandal , but this affair Is not likely to ha\r > a lasting effect , ex cept on th pirtlcular market allect l.

The gen- ral market was without feature of Import- nce and the whole day's trading was devoid f Interest. The shipping demand was absent as usual n a Thursday , and the requirements of the ocnl packers appeared to be limited and ot at all urgent.

Butchers' stock was In very light supply , hero being only a few loads of cows and lelfern In the yards. The market on that < ind of stuff was practically unchanged rom yesterday. The same thing might alio be salfl of bulls , stags and veal calves , all cf wnlch sold In Just about yesterday's notches. Stock cattle were also In very light sup ply. The feeling on that kind of cattle s rather Improved to what it was a few days ago and prices have been firming up a m.Vc.A ? a n"1" " ' of fact the demand s still light , but t'nere are at the same Ime.few being offered In the market. There s no doubt but what the country Is still prepared to take stock cattle , as Is evi denced by the fact that every time there Is a drop In prices buying orders commence o arrive , llepresentutlve sales- STEERS.
