Four Ceats in Four Dtjt, f EArl OREGON WHEAT IS CONTRACT GRADE Cors (learaares Agala Heavy, bat Writers Movemestt Slight, Xotwlthstaadlng Love Rates Uats Hug the Bottom. OMAHA, Feb. , 1905. Now It Is the July wheat. For weeks this future naa been the sleeping place of a large shurt Interest, but nobody seemed to have the Interest to wake it ui. Now It Is. j ne far-away future has advanced 4 cents In a little more than tour uays. At me beginning of this advance the July stood at IMc. Friday the lowest point was VQ and tha market closed at U.iAf1. Today it opened at fl.m4 and that was the low point for the session, the market advancing steadily to a close at II. u& The July be gan to take prominence Friday for the first lime In weeks. The July at tsc and nao had looked high and a considerable short line had been put out. Now, with tha advance predicted and expected in some quarters lor the May before the time of delivery, the crowd Is beginning to feel the July is not so low. The May Is tied up and the general feeling seems to be the July is sater trading. The period of crop scare is ap proaching and wider fluctuations are ex pected. It la claimed Armour haa been hedging his short sales of May in July. An other report has it the Wall street interest Is buying the July to narrow the discount between it and the May. The trade Is nervous over reports the In spectors at East St. Louis are grading red whfat by quality regardless of its origin. This takes in Oregon wheat, and If Chicago Inspectors do the same It will make avail able for delivery on contract 6,00u,uou bush els more wheat. There Is now stored In Chicago 2,750,000 bushels of Oregon wheat In private houses. This Is red Russian, blue stem and white club. The report had It western wheats grouped under the term, "Colorado wheat, would also be Inspected In for delivery. These rumors are now considered as untrue; at least no change la to be made In Chicago Inspections. Winnipeg futures advanced from He to lo on the announcement of the drawback ruling and the cash market gained from He to'9c. It la thought the decision will cauae an Increased demand for Manitoba wheat. On this side of the boundary it Is thought to be bullish on low grade wheat and bearish on high grade. It will cause a considerable stronger demand for low grade to mix with the high grade Canadian brought here In bond for grind ing. Minneapolis stocks of wheat are 13, 640,135 bushels, a decrease for the week or 163, 8U0 bushels. Of the stocks S.983,401 bushels Is contract, and the contract stock has Increased for the week 150,000 bushels. The northwestern cars (including Chicago) continue to decrease, being today 239 cars, last Saturday 281 cars and last year 2K5 cars. Buffalo reports stocks In store and afloat have decreased so far this week 465,000 bushels, Broomhall estimates the world's shipments at 7,poo,000 bushels. The primary receipts are 861,000 bushels, against 678.000 bushels last year, and the shipments are 244,000 bushels, against 347,000 bushels last year. Corn clearances reached the figure of 927,000 bushels. This Is pretty good when compared with the wheat clearances, which amounted to nothing. The Patten long line of corn, which was estimated at 3.OUO.0O0 bUBhels, has been sold. The shorts took the corn and the deal was about even for both shorts and longs. The feature of the transaction was the strength of the market, which declined only o and fluc tuated only He. The corn movement, even with the reduced rates, Is light, and If tho rates should be restored, as it Is thought poxslhle, the movement will stop almost altogether. It Is predicted, until the spring planting season. In - the cash market No. 3 white oats are selling at a premium over standard oats for May delivery. The May has not gone down to the low mark of 80c of sev eral days ago, but it Is still within c of the bottom. Omaha Cash Prices.

Feb 1-Under active covering by shorts, wheat for Juiy delivery tooay sold at 11.02. The market closed at the high est point of the day with July showing a net advance of l'c. Corn is up He, oats are up c and provisions are uncnanged. Interest in the wheat pit centered on the July delivery. Throughout the entire day there was urgent demand from shorts. The price of tha distant deliveries advanced with the session. I'nder the Influence of higher cables and bullish advices from Ar gentina, the market t opened Arm with July up VaSo at ll.wva 1.0ns. May was a shade lower to VaVic higher at Sl.MSV&l.ltiH While there was some pressure on May by a leading holder the July option from the start jvas in active demand. Seemingly there waa a large short Interest In July op tion. A report waa current that a Wall street clique waa lifting the distant month In order to better unload a large line of May. While July went upward the May option for a time Inoni'd behind, selling off to $1.16. Later the price of the May delivery also started upward and a good advance wa made. A large decrease in primary re ceipts partly accounted for the rise In May. Just before the cloee a fresh outburst of buying sent prices to the highest point of the day, Msy touching 1.17Vk and July 11.01 July closed at the top. Final quotations on May were $1. 17. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal fo l,3oo bushels. Primary receipts were 8tl,40 bu., compared with 677.tjoo bu. a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 239 cars, against U1 cars last week and 285 cars a year ago. Sentiment In the corn pit was bullish and the volume of trading waa fairly large. Buy ing waa principally by shorts, who were somewhat alarmed at the bullish advices from Argentina. A statement that the ex portable surplus of corn from that coun try would be largely decreased this year was one of the main sources of anxiety to shorts. Strength of wheat also helped to stimulate a demand for corn. May opened unchanged to He higher at 441ifcc, sold up to 46Hc and closed at 454c. Local receipts were 236 cars, with 1 of contract grade. Firmness of other markets was reflected In a better demand for oats and prices ranged at a slightly higher level. Continued light movement from the country and a ateady reduction of stock also aided the advancing tendency. May opened a shade to too higher at 30-ii3oi4c. gold up to SAto. and closed at 30Hc Local receipts were 60 cars. Provisions were quiet but firm, the prin cipal factor in the situation being a large decrease in receipts of live hogs. The May products closed at precisely yesterday's final quotations, with pork at ih.S'M, lard at $H.9iH and ribs at tti.87. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 13 cars; corn, 2st care; oats, 65 cars; hogs, 47, 000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. Hlgh. Low. Close. Yes'y. Wheat May July Bept.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4 Reallalng sales for the end of the week were In considerable force during the short session of the stock market today and Anally overcame the market, making the closing weak and a point ' below last night for some of the speculative leaders. The Pennsylvania fioup and the Pacific, Including Missouri 'aclflc, were especially affected by the profit-taking. There was os Utile to ac count for the selling as there has been for the buying during the week so far as any speciflo news bearing on the Individual properties was concerned. The bank statement may have contained a suggestion that the present redundancy of money will not continue Indefinitely under the operation of forces now at work. The week's outgo of gold, In spite of the Inflow from the Interior, caused the ex pected decrease of over $6,0io.O0O In the cash reserves of the banks. The loan ex pansion of $11,443,600 lifted the level of deposits and the reserve requirements at the same time, so as to furnish the net result of a shrinkage of $7,117,626 In the surplus reserve of the banks. The foreign exchange market held firmly today and offered no Indication that this week's heavy outgo of gold will not be duplicated or exceeded next week. Attention waa at tracted to the fact, however, that the country sent out lust week 6,300,000 bu. of corn, which Is considerably In exoess of any other week's shipments for over four rears past. As a source of replenishment or the exchange market this movement must be accorded consideration. The Southern Pacific refunding opera tions and yesterday's quick sale of $76,000,000 of these bonds must be reckoned, with In estimating the future showing of hank loans. The progress of efforts towards securing consolidated party action on the federal control of freight rates had some effect on sentiment and may have prempted the growing aelllng movement. The notable price movements of the day were in stocks of minor Importance and the receding tend ency became quite general before the closing. Total sales of bonds, par. value, $2,705,000.

For the week receipts show a loss as compared with last week of about 3,600 head, but a gain over the corresponding wek of last year of about 2,500 head. The demand has been just about equal to the supply, so that very little change In ruling prices has taken place. The extremely cold weather all this week, together with the snow, hue caused trains to arrive very late In the day. As a re sult the market on beef steers has been slow In opening, but as a general thing after trading did begin, It was fairly active, particularly on the more desirable grades. As compared with the close of last week the general market on steers can safely be quoted steady to strong and the choicer frades are probably about a dime higher, he common and warmed up kinds, though, are only steady and none too active. Good to choice grades are quotable from $6.00 to $5.50; fair to good, $4.26 to $5.00, and com mon to fair from $3.26 to $4.26. .. The demand for cow stuff has been quite active all the week, and the same ua with steers the fluctuations In prlcea from day to day have been very slight. At the close of the week the choicer grades are perhaps strong to a dime higher than tho close of Inst week, but the common and medium grades are selling In Just about the same notches they were a week ago. Buyeis nil seem to be anxious for the de sirable grades, but when It comes to the common stuff they are rather Indifferent and do not appear to care much whether they get that class of offerings or not. Good to choice grades of cows and heifers may be quoted from $3.00 to $4.26, fair to good $2.49 to $3.00 and common to fair from $1.60 to $2.40. Bulla are steady for the week, the fat ones selling from $2.60 to $3.50 and feeder bulls from $2.26 to $2.75. Venl calves are unchanged, best gradea bringing $5.50. There has been a very light run of stock era and feeders on sale this week, and owing to the severe weather not many have been wanted. The heavy fall of snow In most sections of the country tributary to this market has cut down the demand for light weight stockers and it Is Im practicable to turn them Into corn stalks and not many farmere care to buy young cattle and be forced to feed them hay and grain. Under such clrcumstancea light weight cattle have been Blow sale all the week and may be quoted a little lower than they were a week ago. The good heavy cattla, either green or warmed up, have been In fairly good demand, and auch kinds Hie, If anything, a little stronger for the week. Cnttle lacking In quality, though, are rather alow sale even If they fcre of good weights. Good to choice grades bf heavy cattle may be quoted from $3.75 to $4.35, fair to good cattle $3 26 to $3.75, and common And light cattle from $3.25 down. Representative sales: COWS. Nu. A". Tt. ho.

Trains were rather slow In arriving and that had a tendency to make buyers alow about taking hold, ao that trading waa not at all active. The hogs, however, kept moving toward tha scales and It was not long before the bulk of the early arrivals was disposed of. After packers had their more urgent orders filled, however, trading became lean active and the close waa slow and weak, with sales little, If any, better than yesterday. Light weights sold largely from $4.72 down, butchers and mixed hogs from $4.72 to $4. 77 and heavies from $4.76 to $4.65. Owing to the late arrival of trains and also to the slow close, It was late be fore a clearance waa made. . For the week receipts have been very light, as there la a decrease as compared with last week of about 22.000 head. As compared with the same week of last year the falling off amounts to about 10,UU head. The tendency of prlcea has been upward all the week and the net gain amounts to about 20c. This carries the market to the high point of the season to date and alao to the highest point reached alnce Novem ber u or laei year, nepreaemauve sales M 144 40 4 TO ... 4 ti 7J 2 .it ... 4 TO 14 11 ... 4 It 7 St 40 4 71 M !M . 4 ft TO Jin ... 4 To U J2 0 4 Tt ;, 120 4To M J.'t ... 4 Tt St Jl ... 4 70 t t.'t ... 4 T fit 1 ... 4 TO 44 T 120 4 It ao 1st ... 4 TO Tl tt 4 T 12 240 ... 4 TO TO. 1ST M lit .

There Were two cars of lamba good enough to bring $7.26 and four cars of ewes $4 SS. For tne week receipts have been rather light, showing a loss as compared with laat week of about S.otm head and aa compared with the seme week of lust year there Is a falling off of about the same amount. The demand has been quite brisk and aa a re sult the tendency of prices haa been de cidedly upward and practically all of tho loss of Inst week haa been regained, which takes prices back to the high point of the season to date. Some of the part-fat kinds may not be quite as high as they were week before lust, but the chang Is too small to he worthy of mention. Each day's offerings have been well cared for. aa the demand has apparently been In exoesa of the supply and rackers have had a hard time to get enough to meet their more urgent orders. Very few feedera have been Included In the receipts, but the demnnd has been suf ficient to take everything offered at good, 8teady price.
