OMAHA, March S3. 19u5. .h apcculattva wheat market continue! very nervoua and erratic, and moreover very weajt. No one aeema to have fath omed to hie own satisfaction the exact condition of the wheat market and the relation of the eastern speculators to the market. The May lout heavily this morn-lnc- It opened at 11.18, but that win the best of the morning, and the market seldom reaehed SI. 13, at' which point It atood at noon. The low before that hour was 11.12. Wednesday the May ran from II UH to a cent higher. The July today ranged between 91o ahd 90c, whereas Weonesday the-hlgn and low were 914c and 88c. The spread between the May ana the July Is the largest of the crop. At the close Wednesday night it was 23 cent. This Would usually be considered large enough to make It a profitable thing to buy July and sell May, but now the crowd la afraid of the May because of man ipulation, and so will not get ahort. The apread at Minneapolis is only IP,-, with the premium on the July there. Valentine la reckoned to have bought 3.000,000 bushels of May wheat In the last few days. It la ru mored this Is for Llchtstern, bought last September at about the preaent prices and carried over. It waa the largest short line according to report. Cudaky la said to have sold 1.6UU.000 bushels lately. Liverpool cloned with a loss of from to on the good American reports and expectation of large Argentina shtpmente. Berlin declined '., Muda Pest 2, Antwerp remained un changed and larls advanced t centimes. The Price Current finds conditions generally fivorable for the erop and for spring seed ing. Kansas City millers aro offering flour for European shipment In July on the basis of 81 eenta for the July wheat at Kansas City. H Is wondered what effect this will have on Minneapolis. The Minneapolis mills f round 270,996 barrels of flour last week, this elng an Increase of 1936 barrels. The pri ms ry receipts are 613.0UO bushels, against 418,000 bushels last year, and the shipments are 827.0VO bushels, against 363.000 bushels last year. The corn is not doing very wen today, for the speculative market Is off at least o and the caah situation calls for from Wo to le lower corn. The May this morning ranged from 48e to 47c before noon. ageTnst 4o and 48c for high and low Wednesday. In the Chicago cash market '"."J"1 iwr price amounted to luO.OOO bushels for domestlo purposes and 1.16,000 bushels for export. Liverpool de clined from o to N0 during the morning on the cheaper American offerings. K ansa a City has turned bearish on the corn, for the demand la said to have ceaaed and the receipts for the last few. days to be three time those ef the. same days last year. The clearances reported today are 161,000 bushels. - The primary receipts are 719,000 bushels, against 319.000 last year, and the Shipments are 466,000 bushels against 315,000 ushels.

Weakness prevslled In the wheat merket here tortny a a result of continued excellent weather for crepe. At the close wheat for May delivery waa off lc July wheat Is down tHc. Corn, oets and provisions almost unchanged. The wheat msrket was weak from the stsrt. Opening trades were msrked by a decline of over 2c In the price of May delivery and 1c In July. Initial quotations on May were off c to rie. st Il lSnl.lSV July was down SftVfcc to c, at SI'S 91 'c. Ivower rabies were also a factor. Weather extremely favorable for the rapkt growth of the new crop sttrscted, however, most attention. Several houses with northwest ern connections were liberal seller! of May, while pit traders generally sold July. After May had touched 81.12 and July oc. the market rallied somewhat on covering by shorts. May advancing to 81 18. The mar ket, though, lacked any definite support, news from the winter wheat licit being of such bearish character aa to discourage demand. One report from Toledo claimed that wheat In northern Ohio could not look better than at present. Advices from Louisville stated that this Is the earliest spring ever known In Kentucky end thHt In all probability new wheat will be ready to market by July 1. The July option was tinder considerable pressure during the Inst pert of the session, declining to 90c. Cssh news from all markets was bearish late In the day. The market closed weak, with May $1.124. Final quotations on July were Mie. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 134,700 bushels.

Notwithstanding the sharp break In wheat, prices on the corn market were comparatively Arm. At the start the mar ket showed some weakness as a result of lower prices st Liverpool and In sympathy with wheat. Iter shorts started to cover on small estimated receipts for tomorrow. Offerings, however, were light nnd In con sequence a firmer tone developed. May opened unchanged to Vc lower, at 4R5(8',4c. sold between 48c and 47tjA:c and closed at the top. rfcsl receipts, 42& cars, with 11 of contract grade. Weakness of wheat had a depressing effect en -the osta market. Oeneral liquida tion was a feature early in the day. Shorts were the best buyers. During the last part of the session trading was very light. May opened unchanged to lower, at 80iflnc,- sold between ao'vftflO'iie and closed at 80o. Local receipts were 152 cara. A large Increase In stocks and liberal receipts of live hogs caused .weakness In provisions. Trsdlng, however, was very light. At the close May pork was off 2 it 6c. at 813 77S4j.

NEW YORE STOCKS AND BONDS Bear Party Eaids afariet in All Direction! in Early Dealing. WEAK HOLDINGS ALL SHAKEN OUT Later There le a Sabalaatlal Recov ery af Valaes Money Market le Kasler aad Call Loan Rate Lower. NEW YORK, March 28-The bear party fell upon the stock market In the early dealings today and raided prlcea In all di rections. The result was to shake out the weaker class of holdings so effectually that the nealth of the market seemed consider shly Improved and there were' substantial recoveries. There was a very notable revival of some of the rumora which have figured In the speculation of the advance when the check to the decline was effected today. For the few daya past that the market has been on the down grade the Interest in' these rumors has grown so feeble that it would be dif ficult to understand the previous force they seemed to have. On the recovery today the story waa heard of a coming merger of southern Iron companies, although new aus pices for the project were presented. The professional element amongst the operators nemcd convinced by the events of the last few days that a considerable decline In prices wss beforo the market still. This served to encourage the organisation of the bear party and the elubornte scale of .oper ations on which they proceeded. It wss be lieved from various Indications snd Intima tions that very extensive liquidation had been accomplished already on tU part of those who had accumulated stocks on the largest scale on the score of merger rumors. professed expectations of dividend Increases ana other Influences which had carrlea. prices to the excessive level before the re action. With this liquidation effected It waa assumed that the market would , no longer have the benefit of the powerful or gaulsed support which had guarded It un til this important speculative liquidation was concluded. The bears were, therefore, hopeful of Inducing forced selling by driv ing down prices. The events of the morning proved, tne Justice or their expectations. The extent to which the reaction had run at the low level of the morning Induced caution on the part or the hears and prompted larger covering, of short lines. The manner In which the rally waa ex tended alao suggested that a considerable element amongst the professionals had turned to the long side of the msrket again on the assumption that the market was ripe for a further rally. The day's fluctuations were almost wholly due to such considerations as these and news of actifal conditions bearing on values played little part In the market. Belief that the proposed stock transfer tax had re ceived a setback at Albany was accepted as good news In stock market circles. The assembling of the British cabinet was made tne occasion for the revival of explicit re ports of a movement among the powers to bring about peace In the far east. The break In the wheat market was regarded aa an evidence of good crop prospects. The spe cial movement in Colorado Fuel was an er fectlva factor in the rally and was based on subscription rights to new seaurtttes In a subsidiary industrial company. An In crease In the dividend rate by one of the great foreign copper companies was a sus taining innuence ror Amalgamated copper Baltimore fc Ohio was notably firm through out on Its good report of Februsry net earnings. The time money market became easier end the bid rates for short time loans were reduced again. Sterling ex change fell to a considerably lower level and the Bank of England returns showed another Improvement In English money conditions. The Inter-domestic demand for Tunas, however, shows signs of growth. and while there Is no scarcity of money, yet the attitude of lenders towards speculative oorrowers is not encouraging and additional care in the scrutiny of collateral for loans Is reported. Thla outlook Impressed the Deiier that stocks are not yet ready for any strong resumption of the upward movement and as a consequence prices moved In sn unsettled way, suddenly running off during the final hour In some cases the lowest of tne aay, and tnen rallying strongly and closing firm at about the top level.

Clarke 1 Other buyers 311 1.490 Totals 8,911 11,846 7,163 CATTLE There was a liberal run of cattle here -today and as a result packers made another effort to pound the market. On the good stuffs, however, they had to pay right around steady prices, thu de cline being confined Isrgely to the com mon and medium' grades. Trsdlng was rather slow, and us It was late before the market opened the day was well advanced before a clearance waa made. The market on beef steers could be quoted steady to a dime lower. Anything at all desirable sold at right around steady firlces, or steady to a shade easier. When t csme to the common or medium kinds, however, packers were bearish, and auch kinds had to sell StflOc lower In the great majority of cases. The quality of the offerings today could not be classed better than fair. The market on cows and heifers was slow, and except in the case of the choicest grades, which sold about steady the genersl market was 6610c lower than yesterday. Buyers were late In getting started, and when they did begin they took hold with little life except where a bunch Just happened to strike their fancy. The market on canners was particularly slow snd wesk and present prices are fully 26c lower than they were on Mon day. Tho demand for that class seems to be very limited at this time. Bulls were slow and In most cases a little lower. Vesl calves did not show much chsnge from yesterday. The market on stockers and feeders was fully 6i 10c lower and slow at the decline. The demand from the country so far this week has been ' rather disappointing, and as a result spsculatora did not want any more cattle unless they could get them for less money. The commoner the quality the greater the decline, but still all kinds suffered. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. 1... I... 11... 1... 1..., JI... 12... 11... II... 11... II...

At the opening trading was very slow, but after buyers and nailers nnslly got together on prices it wss not long before the bulk of the offerings was disponed of. The market. If anything, showed some Im- irovement on the close, the Isst sales jtlng a trifle stronger lliun the early ones Practically everything was diiosed of before noon. A noticeable feature of the msrket this morning was the narrow rsnge of prices. Mont ever) thins; sold from to.uO to &.08.

At the opening, however, they all seemed to be anxious for a fen- choice grades, and auch kinds sold readily at Just about stesdy prices. When It csme to the commoner kino, however, the msrket wss slow and 6c to 10c lower. There was more clipped stuff on sale tliuu at any time so far this sea son and packers were more bearish on those kinds thsn on the wooled stock Some of the stuff that waa here yester day packers refused to pay stesdy prices for. Salesmen were not Inclined to make the concessions asked, snd aa a result u was late before a clearance was made. The lamb market was In much the same condition as the trade on sheep. Choice stuff could probably be quoted steady with the commoner kinds, such as feeders, buy ers did not wsnt, slow snd wesk. Pai't fat lambs of good quality, though, sold readily to feeder buyers st steJy prices. There were no fat lamba offered good enough to bring over 87.
