OMAHA, March 17, 1906.
Prom hen t western mlllera have compiled
some wheat statistics which tend to show
that the total wheat and flour In thla
courtry next July will be 4.876,000 bushels.
Th.a looka impossible and will. In fact, not
be. realised, for the situation will be met
b the Invisible supplies In the hands of
'tillers. Jobber and retailers. It la thought
In Kome quarter, however, that thla will
reduce the reserves to the loweat possible
extent and that the price will not be lower
ejntll the new crop can ba moved. The
table prepared shows that on March 1, 1H,
the American commercial atorka In tha
L'nlted elates and In Canada, according to
the Chicago Trade Bulletin, were; Wheat
nd flour, 82,016,000. Tha amount In farmers'
tinds. according to government estimate,
Was 132,000.000. The crop was 652,000,000,
making; a total of 766,016,000 buahela. On
March 1 of tha present veer tha Trade
bulletin ahowed the American commercial
stocks at 82,242,000 buahela and tha farmera'
reserve at lll.ooo.ouu bushels, making a
total of 1M.O00.0uO buahela Now the
mount consumed, ported and seeded dur
ing tha year to March 1 waa 660,773,000
and tha export for tha aama period waa
1,141000. The spring aeedlng In 1904
amounted to 30,000,000 buahela, aa eattmated,
tnd the winter wheat aeedlng waa 46.000,000
uahela. The amount consumed and manu
factured during the year waa 433,831,000,
making a total for all of 668.773.000 bushels.
Now, taking the figure above, the wheat
and flour and wheat reserves March 1, 196 -t42,W).
and taking away the spring wheat
aeedlng, estimated at fVOOO.OOO bushels, and
four months' food. 1H.810.000, and exports
at the rate of 868.00Q a week from January
to March, seventeen weeks, amounting to
16.4;iH,0UU, and the spring seeding, the total
food for four months and the export for
seventeen weeks, a total of ll,26,ooo bush
els, leaves for July 1 of the year the total
In stocks of wheat and flour of 4,976,000.
The May wheat waa more active today
and made a net gain of Ho. The July la
oversold and thera muat be a sufficiently
large rally to run In the shorts before
there la anything doing. Liverpool closed
with a loan of from U, tn &l Antwm
ynchanged and Paris declined from 5c to
10c. It looks like Armour was buying May
wheat around Sl.12 this morning. The
Trade was light and the selling scattered
atid In small lots.

The corn bulla are now pointing out that
the isebraska bureau flguf 'are bearing

Peoria reports not a car of corn bought

The Argentina shipments of corn are very

CHICAGO. March 17-Excellent demand
In the northwest for rash wheat had a
buoyant effect here today on prices for fu
tures. At the close wheat for May delivery
was up ISc; July Is up 'ffTlc. May corn
ahowa a gain of Ho, oats Vtifco and provis
ions 2H'T7o.
Trading In the May delivery was the feat
tire of the wheat market today. From the
start this option showed considerable
strength. Initial quotations were up HIjNc
at $1.13V?1.134. July was unchanged to 'c
lower, at 91'89le. The firmness of May
was due largely to continued amaller re
ceipts In the northwest and to the belief
that a flurry In this delivery Is possible.
Future deliveries, however, were Inclined
to weakness, owing to bearlshness of the
news In general. The weather was Ideal for
fall-sown crops and enormous shipments
from Argentina resulting In a consequent
weakne-sa of foreign grain markets, pit
tradera here were disposed to sell the July
option. News from the northwest com
pletely offset this bearish Influence and as
trading advanced the mnrket for all deliv
eries became strong. Shorts were active
buyers of May throughout the entire ses
sion, higher prices at Minneapolis being the
main Incentive. Advices from Minneapolis
claimed that the demand for cash wheat
was the beat experienced for many weeks.
Another report stated that stocks of wheat
In that city during the week had decreased
673.000 bushels. Prices reached the highest
roirrt of the day prior to the close, with
May selling at U 14V and July at MGWmc
The close was almost at the top, final quo
tations on May being at II 14. July rinsed
at 92ii9?c. Clen.ra.nces of wheat and flour
were equal to 94.200 bushels. Prlmnry re
ceipts were 876,200 bushels, compared with
496.100 bushels a year ago. Exports of
wheat and flour for the week, as shown by
Bradstreet's, were equal to 8S6.800 bushels.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 2C9 cars, against 2i)6 cars last
week aryl 239 cars a year ago.
The strength of wheat was the main In
fluence In the corn market. Light ship
ments from Argentina, small local receipts
and wet weather, however, were additional
bullish factors. Absence of export demand
tended tc offset these Influences and pre
vented any material gain In values. May
opened unchanged to HfiVie lower, at 4XVijr
4f)c to 49Vc, sold up to 41)c and closed at
49in. Local receipts were 2i7 cars, with one
of contract grade.
Business In the oats pit was extremely
quiet. At the opening tho market was
steady. Later considerable firmness de
veloped In sympathy wtth other pains ilay
opened unchanged to a shade higher at 31iC
to SWaZVAe, sold irp to 32c and closed at
3174ic(&32c. Local receipts were 1S6 cars.
Provisions were Arm on a good demand
from packers. The fact that stocks In
creased but little during the past week en
couraged longs. Higher prices for live hogs
also furnished some Incen-tlve to buyers.
May pork closed with a gain of 7Vjc at
$12.86. Lard and ribs were each up 2yy6c,
at $7.15fi7.174 and $S.9(Wi6.97H.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
30 cars; corn, 331 cars; oats, 195 cars; hogs,
11,000 head.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Market ii Weak and Day'i Price Movement
ii Downward on the Average.
MANY INDUSTRIALS ARE HIGHER
Money Is Plentiful and Rate for Call
Leans Drop to Tst Per Cent
Railroad List Is
Heavy.
NEW TORK. March 17 The money out
look wsa the dominant InAuence on stocks
today and the day's price movtment was
downwards on the average. The Industrial
stocks and specialties were quite sharply
divergent from the railroad list and fur
nished quite a large record of advances.
This class of securities is largely dependent
on factors of Individual effect, being lehs
responsible to general developments than
the railroad list.
The Individual Influences today were not
known In all cases. A common property
Interest might be traced In some of the
stocks which advanced and It van assumed
pools were at work in them. The copper
stocks and the railroad equipments had
some share in the show of strength. On
the other hand, the heaviness In the rail
road list was quite general, although the
movement during the day was hesitating
and Irregular Prices touched a consider
ably lower level, however, than yesterday.
It was supposed that pools and speculative
syndicates were unloading to a considera
ble extent and there was no doubt that the
money outlook waa the principal motive
for this action. There was a sentimental
Influence to some extent, as there were very
little withdrawal of credits by calling loans,
according to the reports of money brokers.
There was, however, quite a lajge paying
off cf loans on call, which followed the
precautionary liquidation of stocks. It was
said that a conHldcrable part of the call
loans paid off were liquidated with Uie pro
ceeds of new loans on time. Operators In
stocks hitherto have refrained very per
sistently from taking out time lonns, even
at the Invitingly low level of rates, being
natlKtled to rely on day to day accommoda
tions. The Importance attached to the con
ditions in the money market waa empha
sized by the Increased weakness developed
after the appearance of the preliminary es
timates of the week's currency movement.
In addition to the J9.319.ooo taken by the
subtrcttsury up to Thursday evening on
account of the repayment of government
deposits, it is estimated that nearly $1,000,000
him gone to the interior on the express
movement. 'The apparent loss In cash of
over $10,000,000 is In excess of the surplus
reserve as lt stood In last week's bank
statement. The Integrity of the surplus la,
therefore, dependent on the rfducllon of
deposits by loan contraction. It Is known
that the trust companies have, been lenders
at the higher rates for money and foreign
banking houses have also placed loans
here, their sales of finance bills In the ex
change market helping to weaken that mar
ket. A reduction In the loan Item of the
banks In tomorrow's statement Is therefore
a probability. A feature of the day was
the renewal of the demand for gold from
France, which made Itself felt In Ixmdon.
This gave rise to renewed conjectures re
garding a Russian loan and was the causa
of some uneasiness over possible disturb
ances in France. This contributed to the
growir- weakness of ,v" 'tor stock mar
ket. During the sume pe 1 id call 1 n

at about the lowest.

CATTLE There was a moderate run of
cattle here this morning and at all other
points, even for a Friday. Packers, though,
were Inclined to bo rather bearish and as a
result trading waa slow, with the tendency
of prices downward rather than otherwise.
Quito a few beef steers were Included In
the receipts, and the market could perhaps
best be described by calling It generally
steady. There was a good deal of uneven
ness In the market, however, so that soma
sales appeared much better than others.
Some salesmen, who had kinds that Just
happened to strike the fancy of buyers,
sold at good, strong prices, while others had
a hard time to get steady prices, and In
some cases were unsuccessful, so that on
the average the market was Just about
steady. Trading was slow from start to
finish, and considering the small number
on sale, it took some time to make a
clearasioe.
The cow market showed more unevenness
than the steer market. Buyers all seemed
to feel bearish, and as a result their bids,
as a rule, were lower than yesterday morn
ing, but not a great deal different from
yesterday's mean close. Salesmen were
calling the market all the way from steady
to a dime lower, depending largely upon
whether they sold early or late yesterday.
The same as with steers, the market was
slow from start to finish, and the morning
was well advanced before a clearance was
made. ... , .
Bulls, veal calves and stags were. If any
thing, a trifle weaker than they were yes-
Very' few stockers and feeders arrived
this morning, and as a good many cattle
were shipped to the country yesterday, the
demand was sufficient to hold prices
steady, even though It was Friday. Rep
resentative sales:

1IOOS Receipts of hogs were strain light
today at all markets, and consequently the
tendency of prices was upward, In spite of
the fact that packers were much opposed
to a further advance. At this point trad
ing was slow, with sales going all the way
from steady to 6c lusher than yesterday's
average. Salesmen all wanted a nickel ad
vance, but buyers were very slow to bid
that much more, and only did so on such
loads as they were the most anxious for,
so that tn a good many Instances salesmen
were unable to get much If any more for
their bogs than the same kinds sold for
yesterday. It was very evident that pack
ers are getting more anxious for butcher
weights of good quality than they were a
short time srro and less anxious for
heavies, unless choice. In other words,
they are looking more at quality and less
at weight. The top load today, which sold
for $6 10, weighed only 2t9 pounds. The
light and common hogs sold for 84 96 down,
butchers snd mixed 4. to 86.00 and choice
heavies and choice medium weights from
85 0O to 85 10.
The latter end of the market was very
slow snd weak, and In fact the early ad
vance was mostly lost on the close, snd
ss salesmen were holding for more money,
there were hogs still In first hands at noon.

SHEEP There were onlv two losds. or
397 head, of sheep reported this morning,
so that It could scarcely be said
that a test of the situation was not
made. The few on sale, though, sold at
Just about steady prices. There has. In
fact, been very little change In ruling prices
all the week. On some days the feeling
seemed to be a little better than on others,
but the change in prices from day to day
had been so small as to be hardly worth
mentioning. The general market for the
week could probably best be described by
calling It slow, but almost steady. This
Is true of lambs as well as ot sheep.
