OMAHA. Feb. . 1904.
Today nw the nrst reaction on the
Dma ha exchange. Business waa dull. The
condition of the msrhet la such, with vary
ing possibilities of war and no much grain
In the hands of the giants, that the brokers
feared to go over Sunday either long or
short. 80 there waa a painstaking effort
cm their part to get even.
The Chicago and Omaha markets opened
U about the closing quotations, though
oomewhat weaker, from the opening there
i a steady decline In all grains on the
Chicago and the Omaha markets and the
dosing prices were not far from the lowest
tif the day. The break averaged nearly
t cents.
Omaha transaction In futures were
largely confined to May corn. The Chi
cago market opened at 4Sc. c up from
the closing figure, and Omaha opened up
with a show of strength with feS" kid.
The market declined to 44e, and then
rallied to o and fiddled about on the
eighth, following the Chicago market. It
declined toward the close to 44Hc offered
and few willing to buy. Chicago broke
ic. a Quarter mora than Umihm. Julv
corn opened weak and there was nothing
suing rmre. wnne 111 Chicago the bears
pulled the market down c.
There was no Omaha business In May
wheat, but In July the market opened up
on the dosing price of Friday, and after
tireaklnr to ifc rallied to 7Uc. May oats
fell off Jc In Chicago, hut no local brokers
ventured on this market.

CHICAGO ORAM A Mi PROVISIONS.
Features of the Trad I eg and Closing
Prices oa Board of Trade.
CII1CAOO. Feb. .-A storm of liquidation
broke over the grain pits to.lav In spile of
the critical situation In the Orient. The
market was unable to rally and closing
prices were near the low point. May wheat
being off le from last nlKht's clooe. May
Corn closed lc lower, while oats were
down 2lj2Hc. Provisions wera 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 English con
sols. Shorts were active buyers at the
start and bid up the price of the May op
tion above yesterday's close, the
opening quotations being at P5Vfi95o. July
waa a shade to H'UV higher at MuSft'tc.
Put these prices lasted only a moment.
There waa such a quantity of wheat for
site, both May and July deliveries, thst
within five minutes the price of May had
fallen to 94Sc and July to tic. The sell.
Ing era 1 was soon partly exhausted. On
support from the leading long the market
quickly recovered part of the nsrly loss.
May rallying to 94Tr, and July to Mc.
Trading was" comparatively quiet during
the remainder of the day until within the
last half hour. Commission houses con
tinued to sell on all slight nllles, while
small holders seised evtry opportunity to
secure profits.
In the face of fresh war news the pit
wss deluged with selling orders late In
the day. There was not enough demand
to absorb the offerings and In consequence
May broke to 9ac, while the price of July
was carried down to Wc. The close was
extremely weak with May at 4o, a net 1S4
for the day of lc July was from le to lvc
lower at Misc. Clearances of wheat nnd
flour were equal to 2M.MO bu. Primary re
ceipts were B77,6i'0 bu., against Cau.MO bu.
a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 16 cars, com
pared with 23 cars last week and 434
cars a year ago.
About the same cnnditlons surrounded
trading In the corn pit as were witnessel
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 May
by one of the largest holders. While there
waa a fair demand for the July delivery
the market failed to rally and closing
price were at the bottom. May opened
Vo lower to Vic higher at SC-liHc, and
closed at the bottom at 64c. a net loss for
the day of ISc. July closed mSlHc lower,
at KIiijoZHo. Local receipts were 136 cars,
none nf contract vrarie.
The feature In trading In oats was the
weakness of the May delivery and the
comparative strength of the July option.
With the sharp brenk In prices In wheat
and corn early In the day, May oats were
offered freely, resulting In a considerable
loss. Commission houses were fair buyers
on the decline, but profit taking continued
on aufflr-lentlv larva scale to keep the
prle down. Part of the weakness In ths
Mav option wus due to the fact that
stocks showed some increase. The orenlng
on M-y was unchanged to V lower, at
45'BW,c:. while the close was 2(B2l-c lower
at 44,'54414c, after the price had touched
44Ue. Local receipts were 131 cars.
Provisions were strong early In sympathy
with higher prices for hogs at the yards
and on war news. After the first hour,
however, prices begun to decline under the
Influence of the break in the grain market.
At the close, nil of the gain was lost, Maf
.,v hoimr ff iu.iv nt 113 S7V4. May Wrd
was slso down SVc. at 17.524. but ribs were
up 2Hc at $ 60. Estimated receipts for to
morrow: Wheat. 40 cars: corn, o cars,
oats. 380 cars; hoga. 44,iO head.

CA'l"! LE There was practically no trad
Ing in the cattle division this morning, so
that a test of values was not made. Fur
the week receipts show quite a decrease
both aa compared wltn last week and with
the correepunulng woek of laet year. At
some other markets, however, supplies have
Deen quite libera:, ao that tne number oi
cattle on aale has been ample to meet the
requirements of th trade, and in fact there
has been a surplus of the condition ot the
market, which may be considered' as an
Inoex of the true situation.
Corn-fed steers cold a little stronger th
first part of the week, but the latter part
the market was in very bad shape and
closing price are tully as low as they were
at the close ot last week. In other words.
tho 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 120 days
and are selling at about the same prices
that were paid for much shorter tod cattle
during the slump before the holidays. As
has been pointed out tnrougn these columns
from day to day the present demoralized
condition of the market ia largely due lo
the severe storms in many sections or tne
country, whloh have tied up the railroads
and mad a shortage of refrigerator cars.
Until railroad traffic one mora becomes
normal there Is amsll chanc of much im
provement in the market. Good to. choice
cattle are now quotable from 34. 40 to 34.75,
fair to good from 34 to 34.40, medium graaea
from 33 75 to 34 and common kinds from
33.26 to 33.(0. It now takes a pretty good
bunch of cattle to sell much over 84.
The cow market is also tuny Dae to
where It was at the c'oae of last week, or
to the low point of the year. The latter
part of the week trading has been very
dull, particularly on the commoner kinds.
Oood to choice cattle sell from 33.25 to 33.65,
fair to good from 32.76 to 33. is. medium
srrades from 33.40 to 33.60 and cannerg and
etittera from 11.50 to 32.26.
Bulla have suffered tne same as steers
and cows. Oood to choice graded eell
from 1.1.2S to 38.71. fslr' to good front I2.7S
to 33.25 and bologna grades from 3125 to 32 50.
Veal calves nave Deen in smau supply an
h woek and nrlces have held steady.
Choicest grades are now selling from Ij.uO
to 36.50.
The stocker and feeder market has been
dull all the week, with the tendency of
prleea downward, except on something very
cnolce. wnicn IS not a nr.i aeni lower.
Tha nommoner kinds, however, are 15r25c
lower for the week. The good to choice
trades sell largely from 13.40 to 13.76. -with
something prime a little higher. Fair to
aood trades go from 18.00 to 33 40 and com

HOGS There waa a fairly liberal run of
hogs here this morning for a Saturday, but
with a good demand the market opened
generally 6c higher. Trading was fairly
active and tha moat of th early arrivals
were disposed of in good season. Toward
tn cioa of tne market, nowever, buyers
were not so anxious for supplies and aa a
result the close was slow and wesk, with
th advance of the morning practically ail
lost. The bulk of the sale wtnt from It 76
to 34.N&. Lignt stun; aom irom H . down,
medium weights went from 34.75 to 34 30,
good heavy hogs from 34.60 to 34 85 and
prime heavlea from 34.85 to 34.90. In spite
of the fact that the close waa alow and
weak, practically everything waa sold bo
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 com na red
with the same week of last year. Prices
have held steaoy most or tne week, the
fluctuations from day to day being of small
Importance. Closing prices are practically
the same as at ths close of last week, th
difference amounting to only about 1 cent

TAKE SATURDAY RECEIPTS
Two Hnldnn Men Tnrn Profltahlo
Trick at (Joldenbera: Horn
teln liroeerr.
The grocery store of Ooldenberg Horn
stein, 2701 Cuming street, was entered last
evening by two masked men. who took 8.1'0
from the cash register and 70 cents from a
customer who was In the store.
The Saturday evening's business waa
quieting down. Morris Ooldenberg waa ex
amining some accounts pear the cash
register. The clerk. Joe Cohen, waa at
work In another rart of the store, and a
customer was looking at some good, when
two nun, partially masked and with re
volvers drawn, entered and proceeded with
the business in hand without much cere
mony.
Ooldenberg made an outcry, when tha
t:ien announced their Intentions, hoping
thus to attract the attention of some
passerby, but his noise wsa soon stilled.
After lining up the Inmate of the atom
with revolvers and words mora eraphatlo
than elegant the Intruders then removed
tho contents of the register, taking about
l-TO from that source, and then turned thelf
attentions to the lone, trembling customer,
who contributed 79 cents to thdr cause.
With a parting admonition to let tha
visitors depart In pence the strangers went
their way rejoicing and opulent,
The men are described as being well
dressed. One was of small stature and tha
other much taller. Whether they are tha
original "tall and short" men who kept tha
local authorities guessing several years ago
is mere conjecture.
Tho matter waa referred to tha polled
station and detective Immediately put on
the case.
Max Cohen, a messenger boy employed by
the Nebraska Clothing company, waa held
up by two men on West Farnam street
last evening and robbed of 331. Th boy
was making deliveries and the money
taken was part of Ma collections. .He had
topped to enquire th way of the two men
who relieved lilm of tha money befora
giving hurt the desired Information.
