10 TTTT: OMAHA DAILY BEE: WKUaSMSSPAY, MAHCIT 20, 1001 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Holds Ctoadilj Moit of thi Dnj, Thon Emki Under Liquidation. CORN SHOWS UNDERTONE OF STRENGTH Onl Trnelr Not Imiinrlniil Provision.! .Mnrket i.'litliii .Mont of Attention, I'urk IteiieliliiK lllulieil I'oliit In Vcnrs, CHICAGO, Miirch 19.-Afer htildlnir steady most of tho day the wheat market toward tliu iMiil of tnday'H session liroko on (iul(la(l(m awl cloned Uc under yesterday. Corn closed n shade lower anil oats, at 11 like decline, Provisions were active, Mny jiork touching the highest price In month und cIohIiik 3014c higher. May lard closed 214fi6c and May ribs "14c Improved. May wheat ruled fairly active, at times, liii t generally Ulet and narrow. The. open Ing wan He higher to lie lower nt 7G!ic; to TClic and In a few minute' nclllmr by scitt tered longs went tho market to 'tilde. The HtctidlliugB at Liverpool In the ,faco of the decline here yesterday, together with mod erate northwest receipts, were factorB tend lng to support prlceH and at tho decline there waH n fait demand, while offerings I'crnmo light. May gradually worked up to 7CV4C during the forenoon and later rallied nn additional He. Primary receipts were heavy and the cash demand very slack and us a result longs seized upon tho bulge as nil opportunity to unload more of their holdings. This liquidation was led by St. 1. uuls. Hears also became more cotllldent In their operations and May near the end of the session broke sharply to TiVfWde and closed weak, '!' lower, at TK'de. Seaboard clearances were f!)l,ono bii., but the bullish ness of these figures wa counteracted by tho primary receipts, which were 7S1,( bu., omnared with Ww.tXW bu. u year ago. I.oc.il receipt were 121 ears, 1 of contract grade, while, Minneapolis and Dulutli reported SS7 ars, against .Trtl last week and 7P1 the eor tespotidlng ilay a year ago. Oklahoma and Kansas were reported to havo come Into tho enjoyment of long-needed rains. t'nsetlled weuther, light contract receipts find tho provisions strength wero factors which gave the corn market an undertone of strength, although the wheat llillueiiee could be seen In tho attltudo of many trail ers. Tim market was at Its best when wheat was at Its high price and the close showed n modorato response to the break In the neighboring pit. May sold between IPVe and U'0 and closed a shado down at '41V. Hecelpts wero ViVi cars, 27 of contract grade. July ruled a shade over May and seemed to be In better demand than tho nearer future, which showed Its best strength In the nbsenco of offerings rather than In any pronounced readiness of the crowd to buy heavily. Trade In oats was of a scalping character and without Importance. May sold between Sua and 23KiO and closed a shado lower at 2. Vfr2.1Uo. Receipts wero 221 cars. Tho provisions market was the most In teresting one on the lloor, by reason of tho strength and activity of pork and tliu rumors concerning a "sneeze" In tho deliv ery of that commodity. These rumors have been floating around for tho butter part of a month, dying out only to bo revived Again. Two Influential operators, one of them n packer, are said to havo control of tho market. Tho short Interest In May pork represents a proximity of 150.000 bbls,, whllo tho 'contract stocks nra but SO.Ooo bbls., and n. good part of these stocks arc owned by one of the men said to bo In tho deal to Houeezo shorts, The light hog re celpts nud continued cash demand com bined to alarm tho short Interest today und May pork, having opened VXil'Mc higher at JIO.OWKUO, was bid up by shorts to $111.35, tho highest price In many months. lrollt taking by longs sent tho market down to 316.10, but It recovered sliurply to $10.3214 and closed strong. 3714c higher nt $10.2714. Mav lard sold between $7.M and $7.8.'i nud closed 2141tC nil nt $7.80Ti7.S214 and May ribs be tween $7.0.1 and $7.00, with tho close 714c better at $7.C214.

Tliu leaders operated In great conlldence, owing to yesterday's demonstration of the euuer- ness of the outside world to participate. 'I'll., 1 .. .... .. r . t .... 1 ,HJ.MHH ..v iuuin iiinin; ill ui t'sriuilll 1 lllluvin therefore hail little dlnietiltv In attracting an effertlvu following in any stock in which iney cnose to o pern to by actively bidding up prices as an excitement. i ne speculative pools were also very ac tively dimmed In tiiklni? nrotlts nil duv. skilfully choslng tho moment while they wero developing new points of strength to sell stccks lu which tho advance had al ready been achieved, cither earlier In the day or on some prevloui day. This process caused much Irregularity In the movement of prices nil day. In the last hour, after prices had very generally touched the lop level ut about 2 o'clock, the professional tri'ders turned to the bear side of the mar ket, owing to the heavy realizing selling that showed all through the list, nnd of fered prices down boldlv. taking the mar ket away from the bulls and uncovering tntrni stop loss orders where speculative nccouuts had been unduly extended on In- iiuipcieni security. Tile result was a tum bling of prices that looked for a time like demoralization on the unrt of the bulls. Tho reaction from best prices In the most prominent or mo strong stocks ran up ironi 1 to 214, and quite a number of stocks which had not been marked un during the dity fell below last night's level. There was ii momentary rally on covering by the room snoriM, nut me prom inning was renewed nnd many stocks closed nt tho low point of tne reaction. The steel stocks were u conspicuous ex ception. They held firm nt each successive advance all day nnd In the closing flurry mounted buoyantly In face of the nc.ttvo selling elsewhere. Tho time fixed for the deposit of these stocks lu assent to tho terms or the steel merger expires tomor row, nnd today's buoyancy In the 'stocks gives rise to the supposition that tho plan will promptly bo declared operative. This supposition was without ofllclnl continua tion. 'I'lierc was an excited speculation in tho Culled States steel stocks on the curb. Tho common sold up 214 over last night and tho preferred 34, but reacted, On the exchaiigo tho preferred steel stocks wero remnrKiibiy buoyant, all or tnem rising from 414 to Wi, tho last mimed Tin Plnte preferred. In the rnllrond list llurllngton continued the center of attraction. In suite of em phatic denials from President J. .1. Illll of n purennse or u plan to purcnnse control, tub upward movement of the stock wns Inter rupted by frequent renctlons on prollt tak ing, und nfter rising an extreme 59s It closed 211 lower at a net nd Vance of 3'4. Other notable points of strength were Hock island, Louisville & Nashville, Missouri ph clllc, the Atchlsons, I'nlon nnd Northern Purlflc, Unltlmore .t Ohio, New York Cen tral and the Southern railway stocks. Among the less prominent stocks Lako Erlo & Western iidvnnced 0, Pittsburg. Cleveland, Cincinnati & St. Louis 5'i and I'nlted Stales Express fi. Delawnre & Hud son und Erlo second preferred were strong for u time, but succumbed to the renewed heaviness which developed In tho conlcrs. Talk of Increased dividends, retirement of various preferred stocks nnd the relative cheapness of some stocks on the basis ot their dividend return continued to bo the Influential factor In the speculation. Som& stocks were wenk throughout on prollt taking, notably tho New York public utilities, especially Manhattan, which lost 414, Great Northern preferred 414 and Chi cago & Eastern Illinois. A number of other weak spots might be enumerated, both among the railroads nnd Industrials. Money continued apparently abundant und lend ers were not exuding ns to collateral, not withstanding the tact that the llrst Install ment Is payuhle tomorrow of 23 jcr cent of the subscription to tho now lssuo of $40, 000,000 of Union Pacific convertible bonds. The operation of the steel merger plan In volves tho supply of $25,000,000 of ensh by the syndicate. The subtrcasury continues to take largely from the money market, notwithstanding the large disbursements for pensions. Sterling exchange wns also notably strong today, sight sterling rising to near $l.8S In spite of largo buying of stocks for Loudon account. Tho railroad bond market wns somewhat less active nnd prollt taking In speclnl Issues made It very Irregular. Total sales, par value. $5,770,000.

Thero were about 60 curs of beef steers on sale this morning, und all grades sold In Just about yesterday's notches. The better grades were, of course, In tho best demand and tho common kinds wero left until tho last, but taking tho market as a wholo It could bo quoted it good, steady, active market.
