March 30, 1904. ; Wheat continues with surprising strength In the face of the general lama. At the close, high point, Tuesday, old July had (nna up Se from the bottom, and the reac tion which followed on profit taking waa natural. May wheat opened at from )o to 2Hio below the close of Tuesday, and for low touched Wsjc, hut It gained strength and by noon reached &,.'. which was within H5 of the close Tuesday. New July ranged from Vio above the Tuesday close to o bflow. This waa In the face also of the slightly bearish crop reports re ceived lata Tuesday, seeming to show a slightly better winter wheat condition. Old Jul waa rushed up to Wc by the buying of one-half million, It waa thought for Armour. The Minneapolis millers are re ported to be talking of another shutdown. The strength -of corn Is due to supposed Armour operations and to the better cash situation. Armour waa aald to be bidding up May with the Intention of selling It. Valentine bought largely May and July. Omaha advanced lHc by noon under the Influence, with - considerable business. Omaha transactions In grain for future de livery have been heavier this week thnn for a month: 'Tuesday they totalled 170,0".) bushels and! have been- above' 100.000 all week. From Argentine comes word that rains have Interfered with the harvest and lese than the promised half crop of corn may be expected. Prof. Hicks la ut with his weather forecast for Hw4. He thinke the Eaater moon will cause prob ably killing fronts In early April, and that very general snd severe storms will come In the latter part of the month.

Tha : receipts of grain -were unusually mail today and the few samples on the tables were snapped up in short order. Mixed oata advanced from 2c to 8c and white oata 1c. The scarcity of born and Ita high prloe la causing feeders to buy oata. The price responded to this de- and. Chicago reports that there are now i store 3.000.000 bushels of standard oats. whereas there were for last year at this ,-tlme only 400.000 bushela. The Omaha brok era, however, expect- a stronger market ,for Oats from now on, because of the corn situation. The local market Is especially good on the poorer quality of corn, and compares more than favorably with other markets In this respect.

PAUL 16 REAPING BENEFIT Expected That Redaction In the rrlce of Anthrarlte Will Have Dene clal Effect and Btlma. late Demand. NEW YORK, March 30-There waa prac tically no limit to the surmise and con jecture with which profiwsional Wall street Indulged Itself today over the hidden sig nificance of the accumulation of Union Pa cific stock which has been the mystery In the market now for many days. The fa vorite hypothesis at the outset today was that the accumulation waa in the interest of the St. I'aul Interests and It was as serted with every appearance of conviction that an official statement would shortly be forthcoming from the St. Paul authorities that they had secured 2o0,0U0 shares of Union Pacific. One variation of the rumor was that the buying Is for the Gould interest- rather than for t. Paul. Cheerful reports were heard of the coal trade and the reduction In rrlees of an thracite to go Into effect on Arrll 1 la ex pected to stimulate demand. Those who Sold United States steel preferred on the fear that the dividend la to be reduced seemed to feel reassured today and that stock recovered Its yesterday's decline and held better than the average. The persist ent pressure on Union Pacific and Southern lJacinc which was Ignored during the fore noon, gained additional Imnresslvencss. Those two stocks ranged below yesterday's last prices throughout. Union Pacific's loss on the day Is a flat point and Southern Pacific's Is 4 point. The market closed near the lowest.

Supplies nt other points were also large and, besides that, there was a rainstorm here which made the cattle appear in aoout ns bad form as possible. Still the market was not In bad shape and the jrlces paid for desirable grades were not a rreat deal lower. At tho opening of the market a few loads of corn fed steers sold nt prices not a great deal different from yestetday, but the gen eral market was a little lower. The kinds they wanted were only a trifle lower, while less desirable grades were as much us a dime off, so that sales were made all the way from weak to a dime lower. It could not be said that the market was sctlve, but still the cattle kept moving toward the scales and tho bulk of the arrivals were sold In fairly good season, all things con sidered. The cow market could be quoted from steady to a dime lower. Every one sbemed to be anxious for good, light-weight heif ers and there were not enough of them on sale to meet the demand. As a result prices held steady. The market on cows, though, was not so brisk and should be quoted wenk to a dime lower. Canners did not show much of any change, but there were very few of that clasaoffered. Heavy cowa, particularly if not good, were hard to sell at satisfactory prices. Bulls were certainly no higher and did not aeem to be much lower, but they were slow, the tame' aa they have been for some time past. Veal calves allowed no quotable change. The supply of stackers and feeders was limited this morning and In aplte of the unfavorable weather speculators bought up all the desirable bunches at about steady prices. The common kinds did not sell so freely as the good ones, but still they brought Just about steady prleea. Repre sentative sales: BEEP STEERS. No At. Pr. No. At.
