8 THE OMAHA DAILY TIKE: THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Bolls Have Day'i Innings on Chicago Board of Trade. GRAINS AND PROVISIONS CLOSE HIGHER Vinr Factor Contribute to Strentjta f Trade, Which Is Supported by Liberal Basins; All Along the Line. CHICAGO. April 2.-HulllRh FPnlltnont up held grains today and induced good Invt-st-m. nt buying in wheat. The upturn In wheat was nil that relieved the board or a tlay of very dull speculation. At the close May wheat was Va'.c higher. May corn e up and May oain 'c higher, Provisions closed 24c to 174c 'P- . . .. Many things contributed to the strength shown in wheat. Northwestern receipts were small, the weather was colder and in terior and northwestern elevators reported decreased stocks. There were also some doubts expressed as to the outcome of the Winter crop. Yesterday's Washington Weather crop report was construed bear Uhly, but some experts sent in depressing news from the southwest. Heeding was backward and the freezing weather has been paralyilng the growth of wheat. Cables were much lower than Inst com parisons on Thursday, and there was a light dip In prices after a fairly firm opening. Both the northwest and south west were reporting higher prices and bought liberally here. In spite of the bearish Influences there was additional buying bv the bull crowd that has been manipulating July corn. Cash trade was Improved and sample people reported that Indications pointed toward a resumption Of export business. May wheat opened 4 trtio to Wlj-'Sc higher ut 71V7H4c, eased to 714c and by gradual stages advanced to 714c Trade at no time was heavy or ex cited. May closed Arm, Vu4c up at 72c. Local receipts for two days were 116 cars, S of contract grade: Minneapolis and Duluth reported 211 cars, making a total for the three points of only 327, against 870 One dav last week and l.OUO two days a year go. Primary receipts were 719.000 bu., compared to 1.240.ufif bu. last year. Sea board clearances In wheat and flour equaled 627.000 bu. Hracistreefs reported the visible upplv decreased 2.554.000 bu. The seaboard reported IX loads taken for export. Torn trade was disappointingly slnck. The big manipulators in July options were not In evidence snd the market settled Into Its normal condition. Trade was mixed with little desire to trade one way or the other, but the buying was better than the sell ing side. Cash conditions helped the mar ket materially, though weakened cables were somewhat depressing. At times there vu marked anxiety over what the bull crowd would do, but nothing eventful hap pened. Southwestern news was bullish, but the outside Influences were only slightly effective. Wheat strength aided somewhat. My corn opened steady, sold down to 6"c, dvanced slowly to So-Hc and fluctuated very narrowly. May closed firm, jc up at Sc. Receipt for two lays were 218 cars. Oats were dull. Receiving; houses did ome buying. The market was fairly strong, but the range of fluctuations was narrow. Cash strength and the tone of the other pits Influenced better buying than selling. May sold between 42c and 42NiC and closed firm. "HiC up at the latter figure. Receipts were 118 cars. Provisions were fairly active today and showed marked strength. The early hog market was good, but this Influence was oon withdrawn aa the tone at the yards eased. There was very little disposition to sell. A large cash business at western fiolnts was reported and packers bought Iberally of lard and ribs. As of late, pork was the most active product and showed the best tone. Mav pork opened 10ifl24e higher, sold between $16.65 and $16 80, closing 17V up at $16,824. Mav lard closed 24c higher at $9.80 and May ribs 74c higher at $8 .974- Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 60 cars: corn, 106 cars; oats, 110 cars; hogs, 32.OH0 head.

Dealings Mostly In Inknovrna, with Losses and Gains Plentiful. NEW YORK. April 2. The naming of the most active stocks In today's market Is in Itself an Illuminating commentary on the character of the market. United States leather led the list, followed at a consider able Interval by Amalgamated Copper. The dealings In Colorado Fuel fell to Insignifi cant proportions, In comparison with tho recent trading. Sugar was well up in the list of active stocks. Of the prominent railroads only St. Paul and Ixiulsvlile Ae Nashville showed a notable degree of ac tivity and the fluctuations did not reach as much as a point In either of them. The extreme range in the United States Steel stocks was He for the common and c for the preferred, and both closed at a shade under last night, In spite of the ex traordinary business reported for the year of tho company's existence and the official Bssurance given of the success of the plan for providing $60.000,oun additional capital. Many of the usually prominent stocks did not open at all before the middle of the days session, and not a few will be found with no sales recorded. The price move ments of any consequence are almost In variably amongst the less known stocks and the reasons advanced were very ob scure. St. Paul & Omaha rose 6 points on a few transactions and the preferred 6, but Pere Marquette dropped 6 on only one sale. The Hocking Valley stocks were active and strong, the common rising 4 and the pre ferred 2. Rumors were revived of a plan to retire the preferred stock at par. The Wisconsin Central stocks and the Toledo. St. Louis & Western stocks were bought, apparently on the strength of their strate gic position In the competitive field. The New York Dock stocks rose In an erratic manner on the supposed sudden realiza tion of the valuable equities in the prop erty. The movement In the Leather stocks was on the assumption that the preferred stock and Its claims to deferred dividends were to be cleared up In some way by a bond Issue. There were other movements of less de gree, but those will serve to Illustrate the character of the market. The losses, which were liberally sprinkled through the list of stocks of a similar character, had no other explanation than that thev had previously advanced on rumors which have not been confirmed. The weakness of Rock Island was associated with the announcement of Its additional stock Issue. The decline in the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg stocks was doubtless due to the coal miners' strike In Its territory. The movement In the general list was Insignificant. It is true that prices were at one time advanced a fraction, but no other cause was appar ent than that they declined yesterday. The crop report by the government weather bure&U had Some Influence nnnn ,.niln..n, but the present grain markets are regarded uiMin ma nruiiciai innuence or large speculative operations and are, therefore, distrusted as an Index of actual conditions. The statistics of the copper trade and rumors of an approaching agreement among the miners to control output and prices were given some credence. Future money market developments are still awaited, the easing tendency of money here being counterbalanced by the expec tation of early gold exports. The market closed dull and heavy on the taking of profits by room traders. There was a very good demand for bonds, which were better distributed than of late. Total sales par value, $2,480,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock mar ket today was Idle but cheerful, partic ularly the Kaffirs In the last hour, although nothing definite regarding peace negotia tions has been received. It Is regarded as somewhat significant that houses with South African connections arc buvers American Issues were stagnant. Rio tintos touched i3 and Anacondas 6, In sympathy with the advance of In Copper to 53 the ton, and on the refusal oftCalumet to sell under 14. The government Is disburs ing, but the market debt Is so large that no monetary ease Is expected. Gold to the amount of 2.0O has been received from the continent. The market Is Intercepting supplies, paying a shade over 'the banks buying price of 77s 9d.

COTTON The market opened steady, with prices 2ici5 points higher on a flurry of covering and light Wall street buying, prompted by firm Liverpool cables and light port receipts. Yet soon after the call the bear leaders took advantage of tame speculative sup port to depress the summer months. May was sold down to 8.74c and July to 8.76c be fore buyers of consequence could be In duced to support the market. Liverpool responded to the heaviness here by declin ing a bare U point, which was later re gained, and Europe bought near months here. The south sent bullish reports as to the temper of southern spot markets and advices from spinning centers were most encouraging. A light estimate for tomor row's Houston receipts made little or no Impression on the market at the close of the first hour and It was not until mid-day that decided strength was manifested. Shorts then appeared to get wind of a light estimate for tomorrow's New Orleans re ceipts, not due to appear until 12:30. In an attempt to cover prices May advanced to the opening level. For the rest of the ses sion the tendency was steadllv upward, with the advance particularly active In the last hour, when snorts were driven In by export clearances of 42,000 bales, these fol lowing clearances yesterday of 18,000 bales and being three times larger than port re ceipts. The close was very steady, with prices net 3ff7 points higher. LIVERPOOL. April 2. COTTON-Spot, moderate business; American middling. 4 7-32d.

The demand, though, was also of good proportions, so that an active and strong market was experienced on de sirable grades of fat cattle. Receipts Included a good many beef steers and the quality of the offerings was better than it has been In a long time. The prices were also the highest of the season. As will be seen from the sales below, there were a good many sales above J6.50, and as high as S6.8O was paid. The general market could safely be auoted sironir to a dime higher than yesterday, and everything desirable was sold In good season. The commoner grades of cattle also sold freely at fully as good prices as were paid yes terday. The market for the better grades of cows and heifers was active and strong. The f rlces paid, however, were so uneven that t is difficult to tell how much higher the market Is. The sales below, however, will show that choice cows and heifers are sell ing from to. 50 to S6.00, which are the high est prices paid here In a long time. Sellers find It an easy matter to dispose of the good stuff, but the common fanners and medium grades of cows are neglected and do not show much change from day to day. Hulls, veal calves and stags commanded strong prices today where the quality was at all good. There was a good demand this morning for stockers and feeders of good quality, and particularly for cattle of good weight. The prices paid for such kinds were fully steady with yesterday. The common kinds, and especially the lightweight stockers, were almost Impossible to sell at any price. A good many cattle of that description ore being carried over from day to day, so that they are a drug on the market, and no one wants them.

There was not so much change from yesterday In the prices paid, but if anything the heavy hogs sold at strong prices, while the light weights were a little weak. It was notice able that there were more lightweight hogs In the receipts today than yesterday, which, of course, pulls down the average of all the sales t'l quite an extent. Packers all seemed anxious for heavy hogs, but they did not care whether they got the light stuff or not and as that was left until the last the close of the market was very slow. The top today was 5c higher than yesterday. Heavy hogs sold largely from 16.70 to S8.80. Medium weights went from 6.tT. to S6.70 and the lightweights from $6.65 down.

In some In stances sales were made that looked fully a dime higher. Ewes sold as high as S5.20, but they were of good quality, and sheep and yearlings sold up to 5.6u. Everything at all good was disposed of In good Beaaon. The lamb market, however, was slow and sellers found It a difficult matter to sell out at steady prices. About everything, however, was sold In fairly good season at right around steady prices, although buyers did not take hold with much life. The feeder trade did not show any par ticular change today, as supplies were light, while the demand for good stuff was active at strong prices.
