OMAHA. August 18, 1904.
Either the DaJtotaa and Minnesota will
dot raise much of a wheat crop this year
or else the crop of fabricator will exceed
anything yet produced. Never before has
there been such an Insistent and persistent
If not consistent wail from any set lion of
the country. It reminds one of the day
Of the festive grashcpier In Kansas and
Nebraska, an gem-rat la the wiill of the
wheat raisers. They talk of 60 per cent
iamage since laal Friday this having the
appeal am of being swollen considerably.
Even hand sowed wheat from seed picked
out especially and planted by agricultural
collegians atamla no better chance In the
returna than the common farmer' acre.
It la a dismal tale ami loses none of It
grewsome features In the telling over and
aver again. Mr. Jones ha once more
Sopped to the damage aide of the Tence.
Snow- think the altuatlor. In many place
"deplorable," Fargo reporta damage In
that aectiori at DO to 75 per cent and every
place eta Join In the dismal choru. From
Manitoba comes the story of rust and
partial ruin. France falls In line with
stories of short crop. It la unanimous
i In the face of this someone Is selling
'wheat in large Quantities every day. True,
much of It Is covered quickly so as to
avoid too gret loss In the steady ad
vance In prices. Hut lueses do not lessen
the selling on. every advance. As yet there
ha been no setback that could be really
called Important and tho prices are getting
high. Oinahu Is meeting all advances In
Chicago and elsewhere and this market
I assuming considerable proportions with
a oeitalnty of a healthy and consistent
growth. Today's receipts were 39 cars of
wheat. 23 enr of corn and S cars of oats.
In Chicago the speculative futures started
oft with a c advutico on yesterday's close,
lost tc quickly and then with a rush of
new buying and covering orders from shorts
the advance was extended to 2c a bushel on
III deliveries. This brought Bcptember to
II 04,, December to $1.04 and May to
.04PA. ' From these price there was a set
oack of minor Importance at the noon hour,
but with the market abnormally active.
There was a flood of long selling in corn.
The weather map showed a good rain right
where corn needed it the worst. It was a
providential rain, for a great crop will make
prosperity for, the United States and a
hortaga on top of the decreased supply of
wheat would be next to disastrous. Prices
gave way early, but generally remained
steady at abou'. yesterday's close because
of noeded rains In other quarters. With
fair showers and a. continuation of this
weather there will be a bumper crop of
corn. Oats were Heady and not much
shanged.
In the last half hour of the session the
market showed la stronger tone. The bears
had made a good fight against the advance,
but were beaten Off by the damaged crops,
and September wheat touched ll.OS'i In
Chicago, December $1.06 and May $1.07.
Omaha received the highest price yet for
No. 1 hard wheat, 93',ifi9-lc. Huntley sold
eight cars. Omaha rqcelved thirty-nine
cars of wheat nnd. h number of cars of
corn and oats. The market grows apace.
Here la Snow's wire from Grand Forks,
N. D. : "Condition In Red river valley de
plorable. Bulk of crop ten days . to two
veeks rrom harvest ana mucn ,juai- in
bloom, didn't promise 75 per cent c"op even
before lust struck It. Forty per cent or
late, thin, short nnd rotten with rust. May
make ten bushels or nmy go much lower.
Only threshing will, tell, FleldH that look
ripe are slmplv dead with heads empty or
haif filled kernala. Rust severe enough to
cot crop In three-fourths of the state.
Other quarter hns a big crop. No use try
ing to make the state estimate until know
whether frost come before September 1.
There were reports of yields of wheat a
low as three bushels to the acre near Aber
Seen In South Dakota. From western Kan
sas came claims that some late wheat
which had been damaged by rust turned
out seven bushels to the acre where twenty
had been expeoted."

Tho Tiv In wheat prices, came wlm gret
waves of buying througnout the day, me
accompnlm nts of aixches recelvoo,
eacn inoieasingly cnlamitioua In sugges

popular movement in wheat was to buy tn

The reason nvr yesterday's strength In
Corn was washed out by rains that had
fallen meantime In the places wnlch It
tat said the day before must have rain
or suffer permanent injury to the crop.
The local crowd sold corn freely early
on the scattered rain in Kansas, but were
buycra later on advlws from Illinois, Mis
souri and Kansas tnat corn i "tiring."
September opened at 64V4c to 51c, cold to
4'ic, to 53c, to 54Vc, to 63C. to o4c, clos
ing at 64o.
i'rires for oats advanced Hfltio, but
reacted and closed Vc lower to So higher.
The feature was increased trading In

commission houses. Tills met heavy sell
ing for profits and prices receded. Heptem

to 34Hc to 34Va-Wc at the close.
After a strong opening In advances In
hogs and the wiieot market the msrket for
provisions weakened on heavy selling of
ribs and pork. Lard, however, did not par
ticipate to any extent In the declining
tendency of tho other commodities, being
upheld bv buying for foreign account on a
fairly liberal scale. The market closed

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 The upward
movement of price encountered effective
obstacles In today's stork market after
having made some additional progress over
yesterday's advances. The reaction pretty
enectuaiiy wipea out ine advances ami
carried the average level a fraction below
last night. The course of the market was
by no mean decided without a contest be
tween the speculative forces. The profit
taking which met the openlnn advance In
vited some determined support, lndlcsted
by the very large block absorbed of Union
raoinc, Houthern Pacific. Pennsylvania.
and 8t. Paul, and the rapid rally In those
stoexs. i he supporting tactics In Union
Pacific at one time carried It a shade
shove par. but the sentiment of this move
ment en the general list was decisively
neutralized by the dragging tendency of
I nlted States Steel preferred. The fever
ish and Irregular fluctuations of the Metro
politan Traction throughout the day com
pleted the unsettlement of speculative
sentiment and resulted In an Important
shrinkage In the volume of the dealings.
Holders of the steel stocks were disposed
to see special danger to the market for
steei products In the spread or lanor
troubles In the building trades. Reports
reached Wall street of plans for further
renuction or working rorces ny tne 1'enn
sylvanla and Rock Island systems, which
pointed to further retrenchment In the rail
roads In general. The development of great
strength In the Corn market was the sub
ject of some sober consideration, as great
reliance Is placed on a prosperous corn
crop, good tnlngs which the present stock
market Is attempting to anticipate. The
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau
seemed to offer official grounds for the
rise In the corn. market.
Reports from many sources of spring
wheat damage continued very numerous.
Sugar's drop followed the report of a re
duction In its refined product.
Interior exchanges are turning gradually
away. New York foreshadowing the crop
moving demand for 'money. But the New
York money market Is totally unruffled as
yet. The market closed easy as to a futile
attempt to rally It by marking up Louis
ville ft Nashville 2H points. Bonds were
Irregular. There were sharp reactions In
the Central of Georgia Incomes. Total
sales par values. $3,6l5.000. United States
2s advanced . the Ss registered and the
new 4a registered i and the old 44, while
the new 4s, coupon, declined M per cent on

much smaller than yesterday,
two days this - week there I
an Increase
over the same days of last week amounting
to about 3,000 head, but as compared with
the same days of last year there is a de
crease of 6,000 head. The demand was In
fairly good shape for good to choice grades,
but common cattla were very slow and
lower.
There were comparatively few corn-feds
on sale. this morning and well-finished cattle
couia saieiy be quoted steady ana in gooa
demand. As high as $5.75 waa paid for some
cattle, but they were choice. The hort-fed
cattle, or those that came In competition
with westerns, were neglected and should
be quoted slow and weak to a dime lower.
Packers seemed to prefer westerns to short
fed corn cattle at the ruling prices.
There were quite a few western ranger
on sale good enough for killers, and some
of them were of exceptionally fine quality.
Some horned Wyoming cattle sold for $4.10,
and some dehorned one brought $4 20.
They were owned by Thomas Bell of Lurk,
Wyo. There was another string of North
Park, Colo , cattle thnt were by far the
best that have been here In some time and
they brought $5. Anything on the good to
choice order could safely be quoted steady,
nui common ainas, ins same as was tne
case with corn-feds, were slow sale and a
little lower.
The cow rr.arket was extremely dull this
morning. There were not many on sale.
but buyers did not seem at all anxious to
buv anything, and when they did place a
bid It was generally fully a dime lower, and
common stuff they would hardly look at.
Something very choice may not have been
a great deal lower, out even the best were
very dull.
Bulls, venl calves and stags sold In much
the same notches thev have of late.
The stocker and feeder market was again
very slow snd weak. Little demsnd devel
oped from the country yesterday and not
much In sight this morning, so that specu
lators were not at all Anxious to get many
more on hand. The market would have to
be o.noted slow and unevenly lower. Rep
