OMAHA, Feb. 8. ltf4.
Today saw the first reaction on the
Omaha exchange. Buslne-s waa dull. The
condition of the market la such, with vary
ing possibilities of war and a much (train
In the bands of the giants, that the brokers
feared to go over Holiday either lon or
ahort. go there waa a painstaking effort
cn their part to get even.
The Chicago and Omaha marketa opened
at about the closing quotation, though
omewhat weaker, f rom the opening there
waa a steady decline In all trains on the
Chicago and the umaha marketa and the
closing" prices were not far from the lowest
of the day. The break averaged nearly
t rents-.
Omaha transactions In futures were
largely confined to May corn. The Chi
cago market opened at 4ftc, He up from
the cloalng figure, and Omaha' opened up
with a show of strength with 4fSc bid.
1h market declined to 44 V. and then
rallied to 46c. and fiddled about oh the
eighth, following the Chicago market. It
declined toward the clone to iio offered
and few willing to buy. Chicago broke
2!, a quarter more than Omaha. July
corn opened weak and there was nothing
doing here, while In Chicago the bears
pulled the market down Kc.
There waa no Omaha business In May
wheat, but In July the market opened up
on the closing price of Friday, and Rftor
breaking to 74c rallied to 74c. May oats
fell off 2c In Chicago, but no local brokers
ventured on this market.

CHICAGO (iRAlS AM) I'ROYISIOMS.
Featares of the Trading- and Closing
Prices oa Board of Trade.
CJUCAOT), Feb. 8-A storm of liquidation
broke over the grain pits today In spite of
the critical situation In the Orient. The
market was unable to rallv and closing
C rices were near the low point. May wheat
elng off lc from Inst night's close. May
corn cloned ISc lower, while oats were
down 241JV1C I'rovlalons were practically
unchanged.
Strength and activity marked Initial trad
ing In wheat. That the war outlook was
of a most serious nature was evidenced
by a decline In the price of EngllRh con
sols. Shorts were active buyers at the
start and bid up the price of the May op
tion j.thX.e stifife vesterrinv'a close, the
opening quotations being at July
was a shade to 'nr nigner at mv-i ms-c.
But these prices lusted only a moment.
There was such a quantity of wheat for
sale, both May nnd July deliveries, that
within five minutes the price of May had
fallen to 94c and July to 8Te. The sell
ing craxe' was soon partly exhausted. On
support from the leaning long the market
quickly recovered part of the early loss,
Muy rallying to 94tt,c, and July to rV
Trading was comparatively nulct during
the remainder of the day until wit':. In the
last half hour. Commission houses con
tinued to sell on all slight rallies, while
small holders seized every opportunity to
secure profits.
In the face of fresh war news the rlt
was d-luged with selling orders late In
the day. There was not enough demand
to absorb the offerings and In consequence
May broke to Wc, while the price of July
was carried down to C4c. The close was
extremely weak with tny at 4c, a net los
for the day of lc. July wns from lc to lVfcc
lower at S47sC Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 253,500 bu. Primary re
celpta were 577. MO bu., against 5t,5'H) bu.
a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 285 cars, com
pared with 2S3 cars laat week and 434
cars a year ago.
About the same conditions surrounded
trading In the corn pit as were witnessed
In the wheat market. Prices were strong
at the start. Influenced by the war situa
tion but weakness developed early In the
day on- heavy liquidation of Miiy
bv. one of the largest holders. While there
was ft fair demand for the July delivery
the market failed to rally and closing
price were at the bottom. May opened
3 lower to He higher at 61iS64c. and
closed at the bottom at 64ic a net loss for
the day of lc. July closed 114jlkP lower,
at B20:2Vtc. UchI receipts were 195 cars,
none of contract grade.
The feature In trading In oats was the
weakness of the May delivery and the
pnmnaratlva strenarth of the July option.
.With the sharp break In prices In wheat
and corn early m tne nay. May obis were
offered freelv. resulting In a considerable
piss. Commission houses were fair buyers
on the decline, but profit taking continued
on a sufficiently large scale to keep the
price down. Part of the weakness In the
May option was due to the fHct that
stocks showed some Increase. The opening
on May was unchanged to So lower, at
4r.a-tV4c, while the close was 2(ff2Mio lower
at 44Mili''44V4c, after the price had touched
44Hc. Local receipts were 12 cars.
Provisions were strong early In sympathy
with higher prices for hogs' at the yards
and on waf news. After the first hour,
however, prices began to decline under the
Influence of the break In the grain market.
At the close, all of the gain was lost. May
pork being oft 2c, at 13 574. May lard
was also down st 7.52. but ribs were
up 2Hc at $V60. Estimated receipts for to
morrow: Wheat,- 40 cars: cord, 4; cars;
oats, 280 cars; hogs, 44,0110 head.

CATTLE Ther was practically no trad
Ins In the cattle division this mornlns. so
that a test of values was not made. For
the Week recelpta show quite a decrease
Dotn as compared witn last weeg ana wun
the corresDonainK woek of last year. At
some other markets, however, supplies have
been quite liberal, so that tne nuniDer 01
cattle on sale has been ample to meet ths
requirements of the trade, and In fact there
has been a surplus of the condition ot the
market, which may be considered as an
Index of the true situation. .
Corn-fed steers sold a little stronger ths
first part ot the week, but the latter part
the market waa In very bad shape and
closing prices are fully as low aa they were
at the close of last week. In other words,
the market Is at the low point of the year
to date, and in fact at the low point of the
season. The bulk of the cattle now coming
forward have been fed from 100 to UO days
and are selling at about the same prlcea
that were paid for much shorter fed cattle
during the slump before the holidays. As
has been pointed out through these columns
from day to day the present demoralised
condition of the market Is largely due to
the severe storms In many sections of tne
country, whioh have tied up the railroads
and made a shortags or reiriger- r ears,

fair to good from $4 to $4.40, medium grade
from $3.75 to $4 and common kinds from
$3.25 to $3.60. It now takes a pretty good
bunch of cattle to sell much over $4.
The cow market is also tuny nam to
where It was at the clone of last week, or
to the low point of the year. The latter

dull, particularly on ino nmnnuuri am,

The stocker and feeder market has been
dull all the week, with tfce tendency of
prices downward, except on something very
choice, which is not a great deal lower.

unna There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs here this morning for a Saturday, but
with a good demand the market opened
generally 60 higher. Trading was fairly
active and the most of the early arrivals
were disposed ot In good season. Toward
the close of the market, however, buyers
were not so anxloua for supplies and as a
result the close waa alow and weak, with
the advance of the morning practically ail
lost. The bulk of the aci went from $4.73
tn 84 85. Llaht stuff sold from $4 76 down,
medium -weights went from $4.75 to $4.80,
anion heavv hoKS from $4.80 to 84 80 snd
prime heavies from $4.85 to $4.90. In spite
of the fact that the close was slow and
weak, practically sveryining was soia Be
fore noon.
For the week receipts show a slight de
crease as compared with last week, but an
increase of about 6.000 head as compared
with the some week of last year. Prlcea
have held steady most ot the week, the
fluctuations from day to day being of small
Importance. Closing prices are practically
the same as st the close of last week, the
difference amounting to only about 1 cent.
