The Dakota and Minnesota fanner have brought miirh pressure to bear against the meaaurc, saying It would reduce Amrr::,i:i Wheat to a par with the Canadian.

The northwest lias hf'gcd most of Its oats and also most of Its barley In out, and these will have to be taken off as fast as they Mil the cash. Increased demand for oats la likely now and decreased receipts. Omaha Cash Prices. WJJEAT-No. 2 hard, H.OMil.09; No. 3 hard. 11.0301.08; No. 4 hard, 80c(U$l.u2; No. 3 .spring, 11.

May being up ltfi'c at SUS-hl l!7; Julv wheat Is up Vgc. Oats show a gain of c Corn and provisions are practically unchanged. From the wart the wheat market had a strong undertone. Mhorts In May started to cover In lively tashion as soon as the marxet opened. Initial quotations on May were unchanged to Sc higher at Sl.lSnf I. 1M; July wjs up a shade to ViiCc to II. li'l'Vtjl.O.'. Within a few minutes snorts had hl.l up the price of May to SI. 18. July went up to SI OV1. Commission houses sleo were tsir purchasers, higher cables and small receipts northwest being Influences. The market opened by active liquidation by a prominent holder and some reaction In prices soon occurred. July whest es pecially became heavy, falling below the close of the previous session. Cnder selling by commission houses snd pit traders the price of July dropped to SI-01't The renc tlon. however, was only momentary. R newed covering hy short soon started prices upward again. Throughout the re malnder of the aesnlon sentiment was ex. tremely bullish. Both May and July wers In active demand, much of the buying bein credited lo Wall street houses. During the last part of the day comparatively littln wheat was offered and prices were easily forced upward. Just before the close May touched S1.197; July advanced to l."ir 1.02V The market closed farly atrona;, with Mny at Sl.H!& ! 1SV Final quotations on July were at SV02'V Clearance ot wheat and flour were equal to 29,000 bush els.

Imluth and Chicago reported receipts of 218 ears, against 279 cars last week and 299 cars a year ago. larger receipts than expected caused lib eral liquidation of corn early in the day, resulting In considerable weakness. Later the market quickly regained the loss In sympathy with the bulge In wheat. An other bullish factor was an estimate of only 79 csra Sa total receipts for tomorrow, seversl million bushels o? corn being re ported snowbound on various railroads. May opened H'qSn'SHc higher at 4tii'34V 47Sc sold between 47V54.Vc and 47'c and closed at 47'c. Local receipts were .308 cars none of contract grade. Influenced by the strength of wheat a firm tone prevailed In the oats market dur ing the latter part of the day. Commission houses and pit traders were fair buyer. The market was rather easy early as a re sult of selling by several prominent com mission houses. May opened unchanged to a shade lower at 31Vi931l4c, sold between 31c and 31V and closed at 31WII81SC. Local receipts were 130 cars. Provisions were extremely dull and weak. Holders became discouraged at the action of thi- market showing a decline in the face of light receipts of live hogs and tongs sold quite freely. Strength of grains had a steadying effect late In the day. At the close May pork was a shade higher at $12.90J12.2',4; lard was up 2y? at $7; rlba were ofT a shade at Si.87mW.5o.

NUSTRIALS STILL CONSPICUOUS FIGURE R amors af Peace SesjotlaHam Affect Foreign Kirhanges and Reflex laflneace la Felt In Wall street. NEW YORK. Feb. 15. The volume of dealings In stocks expanded again today and there was a better show of strength than yesterdav and In the Important stan dard stocks. The strength of this claa waa not general, however, by any means and the Investigation which came Into evidence at the higher level was an ad ditional modifying factor In the judgment of the dav s market. Industrial stocks of the necond and lower grades were still a conspicuous feature of the trading, with the cooling effect on the speculative tem per which the predominance In speculation of these stocks almost Invariably causes. Probably the principal Influence on the day's operations was the' course of the foreign exchanges, indicating quite def initely the termination for the present of the movement of gold to France. An en gagement of $760,000 for shipment to South America did not change this conviction, although It is true that this operation in dicates a remaining command of our gold supply for the benefit of London. But symptoms of relaxation In the foreign money markets were unmistakable and were effective In lowering the exchange rates here. A further advance In sterling at Paris was Indicative of the satisfaction of the requirements of that center. I-arae shipments of gold are to be received shortly In London and open market discounts de clined there, giving rise to a belief that the Bank of England will reduce its official rate tomorrow. Rumors of peace negotiations were again an effective force In foreign markets and reflected beneficial Influence here. Prices had the benefit as well of rumors of some special developments bearing upon the val ues of inllviclttal stocks. There was a strong demand for Ontario & Western, which was explained about the Stock ex change by the assertion that the control of this property, recently acquired for the New York. New Haven Hartford, was to be turned over to the New York Central to harmotilie objections of the controllers of that property to the extension of New Haven Influence Into the trunk lino field. Besides this movement In Ontario & West ern cheerful reports of the trade In anthracite helped the coalers. Reading showed a continued effect of profit-taking. The advance In Amalgamated Copper was due to the current reports of the active demand for Its product and by the rise In the price of copper In London. The long standing rumors of the results to follow the distribution of Northern Securities on sets were revived and helped to advance the Pacifies and Northern Securities it self. The recent movement in the Iron and steel Industrials had some extension but met with a degree of pressure. The break In Pressed Steel Car caused by the poor showing In the annual report of the business for 1904 had some effect on the group. The constant departure from the Wall street district of men influential In the market and In financial affairs Induces some caution about commitments by op erators of smaller resources and begets a suspicion that operations On a larger scale are not to be looked for In the Im mediate future. The reaction on profit taking In the last hour waa partly recov ered, but the closing was Irregular. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par val ue.

The liib'l' wind or yesteruay morning, It seems, tied up ihe railroads In tills section ot the country, the worst of the season, so that thiy were In no condition to operate freight trains. In the territory tributary to Chicago condi tions were not so bail, as receipts at that point amounted to 10,000 head. Another bad feature of the present situation is die shortage of refrigerator cars. Packers have been able to move very little muff this week on that account, but It is hoped that the railroads will be able to bring cars from the east by the time they get their western lines clea-ed, so that pacKers will be in shape to properly core lor the live stock when It does begin to arrive on the market. The market on beef steers today could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher than yesterday, or generally 25c higher tnan at the close of last week. The few bunches that were offered this morning changed hands in a hurry, although the quality was not very good. Feeder buyers have not been competitors on the warmed-up rattle this week, no that they have not shown quite as much Improvement as the better grades, but utlll all kinds are right around a quarter higher. The cow market was also active and strong to a dime higher than yesterday, or generally 2oc higher than last Friday. Buvera all seemed to be anxious for sup plies, but of course there was not enough here today to make a killing for even one house. The few that were offered, how ever, were picked up at an early hour. Bulls, veal calves and stags could all be quoted strong and active. The atocker and feeder market was again slow and weak. Practically all of the stock cattle that have arrived this week, to gether with those carried over from last week, are still in speculators' hands, so that naturally they are not anxious for more supplies. Nothing was shipped to the country yenterday. The few cattle sold today were a little lower thati yesterday. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Ho. Av. Pr.

CUT IN THE DOMESTIC RATE Missouri Pnclflc Places Omaha on Fooling with Kansas lt to Arkansas Points. The Missouri Pacific Railroad company announces some new rates on corn and oats to points to Arkansas and Louisiana, which rates will have a tendency to place Omaha on aa equal footing with Kansas. City. The new rates go Into effect on Friday. A rate of 10 cents Is made to Memphis, Little Rock. Pine Bluff. Newport. Poplar Bluff. Walnut Rlilge ami Hoxle. An 11-ceul rate Is made to West Wego for export. The new rate to Tekorkuna. Shreveport. M1111 roe and Alexandria will be 12 cents. The old differential over Kansas City ha been reduced 34 cents a hundred, making the new differential 2 cents over , Kawvillc Considering the difference of the locals to Omaha and Kansas City, the new differ ential will bring most of the rates the sam from the two cities. LOCAL COAL SUPPLY IS SHORT Itnalion Slightly Improved, bnt Danger of Famine I ol let Passed. The coal situation continues about as It was several days ago. The railways ar getting their lines open and tire working up to the schedules again. They hsre been bringing In enough steam coal lately just to supply the demand and daily consump tion. If the weather nnntinues open the situation will become rapidly less strained. If, on tha other hand, a storm .come, seil ous Inconvenience will follow.
