THE OMAHA DAILY HEE: SATUHDAY, .JANUARY 10, 1003. 10 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Volume f Baiinen Boird of Trade is Only Moderate. WHEAT RULES EASIER MOST OF THE DAY Com Haffrri from Over Supply. -While Oat a ra la I pward Tendeaey nd rrolUlom Klhllilt Marh Weakness. CHICAGO. Jan. 9. There wm only a moderate trade In wheat today nud thu market waa easier most of the day. but on reports of good export business there waa a rally UuvkM export trade and linal figures on May were c higher. May corn ai a shade hlRher and oata were un changed, provisions were eaaler. May op tlona closing from 2ttf5c to 10c lower. Reports of unaettled weather l.i Argen tine, firm cables and small receipts caueed llttla strength In the wheat pit early In the dar, but under the Influence uf better prices offerings became qulie liberal, and a reaction followed. May selling down fo 7SSc. after opening unchanged to Vc lower at 767sc to 76c. At the decline the market ruled rather lower, slthough there was n fair demand from commission houses and iilpers. An Increase of 1.6W.WW bu. In the exports for ,he week, as reported by Bradstreet, compared with the correspond ing week laat year, caused renewed buy ing late In the day and the close waa strong, with May ViC higher at 76i4c. the high point of the day. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 484,000 bu. Primary receipts were 42.90 bu.. against BSfl.Om) a. year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 26 cars, with local receipts of 88 cars, one of contract grade, milking total receipts tor the three points of 34 cars, ugalnst 81 laat week and 679 a year ago. Corn ruled easier the greater part of the day on liberal offerings from locals, while the demand was only limited. Weather conditions were bearish, being favorable for the grading, but the car situation con tinued to play an Important part In the trailing, the shortage of cars restricting the receipts, which were only 8" cars, with five of contract grade, Late In the day a good demand developed on reporta of a big cash business at the seaboard, commission houses and shorts buying freely, which resulted In a firmer feeling May closed a shade higher at 4374l4c, after ranging between 43V; and 44c. There was a pause In the advance In oats und reactions occurred In both the active deliveries on profit-taking by small longs and lack of adequate support by the bulls. While the weather wua favorable for the movement, receipts were rather light, luck of cars being largely responsible for the decreased receipts. A recovery occurred In the last hour on the strength In other grains and the close was about eteadv, May being unchanged at 34c, after selling between 244c and 31?c. Local re ceipts were 174 cars. Provisions were dull and exhibited con siderable weakness. There was raiher free selling for outside account early, brought about by a decline of from 10c to 15c In prices for hogs. Huylng by locals later In the dav, with offerings rather light, caused a slight rally, part of the early loss being recovered. May pork closed 10c lower at 116.16, May lard was 5ft-74C lower at V.to'if 474. while ribs were off iHGGc at 3S.874'J 8. so.

Dis counts were a (Tec ted by the state of the market and caused a hardening of rates to the continental exchanges.

This rumor was denied at the same time it was announced that Alfred Beit, the South African financier, was dying of apoplexy at Johannesburg. Kaffirs partially recovered, but closed eak. Parquet 'stocks became heavy, for eigners reacted and Bunque de Paris was weak. Some Industrials were firm. Rio tlntos rallied well, but later reacted, being Influenced by the general tendency.

More business was transacted today on the Stock exchange than on any day since the seml-panlc con ditions of the middle of December last. Although the market became extremely ir regular and at one time generally reac tionary, there was a free, broad market during the whole of the day and the clos ing was firm and active at a rally from the low point. The report of the details of the division of the control of Reading between the Pennsylvania and the Vander bilt Interests caused the speculative Im migration to catch fire and operations were hastily entered upon, seemingly on the as sumption that all the recent ills resulting from an overplus of new securities and sin Inadequate supply of capital to clean up had been cleared away. The decision was arrived at by Inference that further pro jects would be pushed for the harmoniz ing of control or the whole eastern trunk line railroad and anthracite field, with subsequent designs upon the soft coal field through the medium field through the pro posed distribution of control of Hocking valley amongst the same Interests that are to share the Heading control. There seemed to be an assumption that this would herald a resumption of a large num ber of the projects of consolidation and merger which were interrupted by the stringency In the money market. The prospect that this would multiply new se curities again and Involve heavy syndi cate requirements seemed to have none of the recent terrors and new buying orders were poured into the market this morn ing from every quarter. Including some by cable from London. It was obvious from the start that this demand was liberally fed by sales to take profits by the large buyers of yesterday and the preceding days, but the buying was sufficient to absorb this realising for a time and to Initiate fresh advances here and there. Reports that the dispute between the Pennsylvania and the Gould Interests had been settled caused buoyancy in the Wabaithes. There were demonstrations of strength In other Gould stocks, notably Missouri Pacific and Manhattan, which initiated movements re spectively In the Pacifies and the local tractions and which were not explained by any news of the day. Money continued quite easy. In spite of the heavy new de mands resulting from the speculation, and a strong bank statement was forecasted both by the large movement of currency from the Interior and by the gain on sub treasury operations resulting from the pay ments of government Interest and the transfers of currency. In the day, when the market had been reactionary, a belief gained currency that large exports ot gold were In contemplation at an early day. The rising money market In London, the sharp rise In sterling at Paris and the Indications that the Bank of England is disposed to maintain the open market rate of discounts were adduced as evidence of the likelihood of such a movement at an early day. A more reasonable explanation of the reac tion, aside from the natural profit taking, was the persistent and heavy liquidation In Reading, due to the fears of holders that aa a minority Interest they would have little to hope for In the new position of thu ntork The failure 'of the Louisville directors to advance life dividend rate, aa had been hoped by holders of the minority stock who followed the advance when the con trol was passing, served to emphasize this Impression, and the break In Louisville ac companied that In Reading. The market was supported at the decline and the clos ing was nrm at the rally. ihe bond market was broad, but Irreg ular, total sales, par value, 3.iJ,ooo.

Trading was rather slow from stsrt to finish, as sellers were holding for steady prices. A smaller proportlonrof the receipts tnan usual consisted of cornfed steers, and the quality was also rather Inferior. Packers, though, started in bidding a little lower and in most cases succeeaea in inning off 610c. but some sales looked very near steady. The commoner the quality the harder the cattle were to dispose of at satisfactory prices. The big bum 01 tne receipts consistea 01 medium grade cows, and buyers made good use of the opportunity to pound the mar ket. As a general thing the decline could be put at about a dime, but a good many sales looked worse than that, while some of the better kinds were not that much lower. Sellers did not like the idea of selling out for less money, so that the morning was well sdvanced before the bulk of the offerings was disposed of. Bulls and stags felt the effects of the de cline on cows and steers and were a little slow and weak. Veal calves, though, held bout steady. Th few bunches of stockers and feeders that were offered sold at Just about steady prices In spite ot tne ract mat 11 was r ri- day. The light receipts all the week nave made speculators anxious for good cattle, and sellers experienced no trouble In dis poning of those kinds. The common stuff was rather slow and weak.

The market opened generally a dime lower than yesterday, and there was very little change from start to finish. The market was rather slow, as sellers thought they ought to get more money In view of the light receipts. The bulk of the hogs sold from 16.35 to 36 46. The lighter loads sold largely from 36.37V4 down, with butcher weights mostly at 86.40. and the heavy hogs brought from 86.40 to I6.47H. Although trading was rather slow the market came to a close In good season. In comparing the market with yesterday it should be noted that the quality was much poorer today. For that reason the market on paper looks much worse than It really was. Considering quality, the market todny was hardly a dime lower. Representative saiea: No. At. Sh.

NEW YORK, Jan 9 COTTON Opened Arm St an iva) ance rf S'u' points on fa vorable cables and Indications for small re ceipts and sold off to the previous day s prices In the absence of public support of a leading bear operator trying to under mine long contracts and force a decline. From this there was a quick rally to the highest on a run of outside buying, but as soon as this demand was met prices again declined until at the lowest point a loss of 10 points was apparent on Janu ary and 1 point on other months. There was some pretty active covering and re newed Investments on the week end, but the market closed to a decline 3f 5 points. January contracts held a weak relation r the general list under "pot Ices," which some placed as high as 10,000 bales. The selling today was on the claim that Ihe market was brought to a stand on the strength of the statistical position, which has become too generally recognlged. The buying at this point Is largely on the ground that the spot markets of the coun try show stability on the support of a Sood spinning and export demand. A good eal of cotton wss bought In the afternoon on Hester's report. Total sales reached 60.000 bales. ST. IAUis, Jan. . COTTON Steady ; sales, 266 bales; shipments, 8,048 bales; stock, 29.002 bales.
