THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 11)02. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL lun Make ?inltint and Bncciufal Ifhrt to Ftrc Pricu Dwi. WHEAT OPENS QUIET AND STRONfi Cables nn it Dry "Venther Promising to Hull, lint IVnr of Other Fnllnre mill llrurlsh Pressnre linn Demoralizing; llffcot. CHICAGO. Jnn. lB.-Bcars In the grain pits were lniilgh glco today uml unmcrcl tully pounded nway ut prices until niter a llrm opening May wheat closed HQ-ttc lower! corn lJo depressed and May oats o down. Provisions closed "'Aa to 10c '"wheat trado cnrly was unlet, with a strong undertone. After yesterday s de moralization, a llrm opening on cables and dry weather was very reassuring to tho bull professionals. Liverpool started some what butter and In face of tho decline hero lent confidence In tho pit. Tho effect of tho heavy Phillip liquidation yesterday had evaporated and tho market wns on Its old footing ngulri. 1'erhaps tho most notice able result or yesterday's tumult was the absence, of tho usual volumo of oiitsldo business. Shortly after the opening of May, ifflYtO to ytW!t! higher at 8IV4C to 81,c, there was an effort nirfdo ut supporting tho market anil at ono time, on a revlvul of commission buying, a recovery scorned Imminent As It wus May rose to 8114c. Hoars had the bulls virtually by the horns und pressed steadily on prices. Jlcavy sell ing sot In on all sides. News camo that Liverpool was declining. Somo shorts took: advantage of the situation to cover for profits, Tut tho amount of wheat was trifling. Weak holders everywhere wcro forced out by tho heavy calls for margins by houses that feared other fnllurcs might result from yesterday's hard pressure. To abet tho bearish argument, tho coarso grains were" being pounded. Cash corn was especially weak. May wheat during the last hour reeled off rapidly to SOc, and ,nt tho close of tho session was weak, 4g ftc lower nt fcOUc. Local receipts were 45 cars, 2 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 391 cars, making n total for tho threo points of 433 cars, against 401 last week nnd 385 a yenr ago. Primary re ceipts were 498,000 bushels, compared with 62O.O0O bushels. Seaboard clearances In wheat and Hour equalled 162.000 bushels. Tho seaboard reported 48 cars taken for cx- ''co'rn ulnrtcl llrm nnd higher with wheat and on fairly good cables. Somo of tho corn sold yesrrrday was replaced and thero was somo small country buying. Re celpts wero very light, but country offer ings were reported freor. when wheat ad vanced corn followed nfter, but soon turned heavy on Its poor cash situation, nnd later broko badly In wheat company. Cash houses reported Ec decllno for car corn in as many days. Hood weather curtailed tho amount needed for stock feeding and tho absenco of demand worked against tho pit. Liquidation on nil sides set In about tho noon hour nnd prices slumped in n panicky fashion. May, which had opened steady, at to'lil'tic nnd sold up to 6,".c, dropped almost 2c to fflio. At this llguro shorts took profits enough to steady tho market at tho close. Tho session ended with May weak, l&c down, at G.TJ&C. Rc celpts wero hJ cars. Karly In tho day oats ruled rather firm nnd Independent of tho other grains. Prices opened higher In splto of tho more liberal country offerings, selling ns high ns 45Ttc. Flnnlly under tho corn Influcnco oats began to tumble. Largo quantities of long stuff wero thrown out. Tho provisions people, who wcro already short largo quantities, began selling more. A lending professional unloaded considerable, but thero was a llrm stand by tho bulls to support tho mar ket nnd this tended to steady tho tone. May sold off to 414c and closed weak, ?io Sown ut 4l!ic. Receipts wcro 120 cars. Provisions wero fairly active. They started out with good evidence of n bull market on a country demnnd ana n strong Tiog market nt tho yards. When corn col lapsed tho early bought stuff was thrown overboard and prices slid off.

JIOVEMENTS OF STOCKS A.D IIOXDS. Opcnlnsc Kxiierlcnces Sllulit Recover)') Which Is of Short llnrntlon, NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Tho stock market turned from Its recent consistent down ward course todny nnd enjoyed something of a rnlly. Tho demnnd was In a fairly Inrgo scale, but tho market showed n tend ency to fall Into Intense dullness and de veloped a hesitating tono on tho advance. There wero a number of reactions during tho day, but the closing was near to tho top level, but dullness and wavering still vory manifest. Tho demand from the short Interest was a palpable Influence In the rise. Signs of support wero seen early In the day In somo of the stocks, which wcro chief targets for boar attack, notably In Union Pacific und other trnnscontlnentnls. This served to Intimidate the benrs, al though they renewed their selling on nd vances. Tho fact was manifest that tho inoro urgent selling had been disposed of on previous days, and tho efforts of tho hears Induced little- liquidation. A number of Incidents aided tho bulls In turning tho mnrkot ngnlnst their opponents. Thero was a striking demonstration In Sugar on tho strength of tho hearing accorded by tho ways nnd means committee at Wnsh lngton to tho advocntes of a reduction of duties on Cuban sugnrs. Tho Increase In tho dividend rate from 2 to 3 per cent on Now Y'ork, Chicago & St. louls second preferred rclloved somo npprehenslon that thero would bo no Increase, although tho distribution wns not ns largo ns somo spec ulators havo claimed to expect. New York Ccntrnl developed strength early In tho day und had risen to the high point beforo tho announcement of the new stock Issuo nnd tho subscription rights to stockholders. Tho prleo wns Inclined to sag utter the an nouncement, ns now bond and capital Is sues have been In disfavor wltli specula tors recently. Tho prlco of this stock has Indicated for somo time past that rights of somo sort woro accruing, ns the direc tors' statement now Indicates wns the fnct. Tho statement of tho country's foreign trndo for December was rcgartled ns favorable. Tho heavy decllno In exports of hrcudstuffs, principally of corn, proba bly, was expected. Tho decllno In this Item accounts for practically tho whole of the decrease In tho total exports for tho month, which wns about $8,800,000, com pared with tho previous-December. This shows that the declining tendency in tho exports of manufactured products has been nrrosted, ns was first Indicated last month. Tho Incrcnso In tho Imports for tho month has resulted in a falling off of the trado balance in our favor altogether of over J20.000.000 compared with tho previous De cember, but tho Incrcaso In Imports Is not regarded ns nn unfavorablo factor at pres ent, as It Is mado up in part of crude arti cles for uso In' manufactured and of products for which domestic manufactur ers nro not able to fill all tho orders thoy rocclvc. Tho Inrgo gain by tho banks from tho subtreasury and tho return of tho flow of currency from tho Interior glvo assur ance of a favorable, bank return on Satur day and tho heaviness of sterling exchange Indicates that no gold will go out this week. Thero was also a subsidence todny of rccont vnguo rumors of financial trou bles In tho commercial world. Tho sharp drop In Peoplo's Gas wns duo to the re fusal of a court to grant an Injunction ngnlnst tho Chicago city ordinance reduc ing tho rate for gas to 75 cents por thou sand. Its Influcnco on tho general market was only slight. The activo bonds generally moved In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par 1ilue, $3,225,000. United States refunding zh ucciinca zvfa ana mo ss, coupon, advanced 4 per ceni on mo iasi can. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: Stocks wero ac tive nnd hard today. Consols rose only on pcaca reports. American stocks wero Btagnant at first. New York's cnrly strength prices udvnncod nbout 14 a point, but eased oft again. London Is Inclined to hold nloof pending tho settlement of the Nortnern securities compnny's litigation. Connor stocks wcro featureless and monnv rates wcro unchanged.

In splto of the fact that Chicago was quoted all tlio way from steady to loc lower than yesterday. A fair nrouortlon of tho rcccltits tndav consisted of cornfed steers und somo of them wero of good quality, as Is shown by tho fact that as high as $6.35 was nald. Tho demand was liberal on the part of packers for all tho better grades and tho market could be quoted steady to strong and active. Even the less dcslrnblo grades sold without much difficulty at steady nrlces and as a result tha nens wern cleared In good season. mere was niso considerable iite to tnc cow market and tho nrlces nald looked steady to strong as compared with yes terday. Tho better grades of course wero In tho best dcmlind, but still even the medium kinds and canners moved freely at fully steady prices. It was a cood. activo markot nil around nnd everything wns sold nt an early hour. Bulls were In good request this morning at fully steady prices where the qudllty was at all satlsfnctory and the sumo could bo snld of veal calves und stags. So fp.r as the stocker und feeder trado was concerned, thero was but little change noticeable from yesterday. Receipts wero light, while the demand was fairly liberal, so that sollcrs had no trouble In getting good, firm prices for anything at oil de sirable.
