While there was no - very great demand for shipping accounts all the buyers were looking for desirable beef steers, and bids and sales were strong to 10c higher than Wednesday This was also true as to cows and heifers. Trade so far this week has been decidedly more active, and decidedly stronger than a weeg ago, the advance amounting to fully 2550c In the case of useful killers. Call for stock cattle and feeding steers was also rather lively, notwithstanding the se vere weather, and anything at all useful In this line commanded good, strong prices, the market being quotably fully 26c higher than toward the close ct last week.

Omaha, January $1, 1913. Wheat receipts today continued to be vety light with only 7 cars, whilu those of corn were fairly moderate, 127 cart of this grain being reported In. Arrivals of oata were very light, with 16 cars, while receipts of rye and barley were and 6 cart, respectively. I The corn market todty waa again some what ttronger. talet of the tpot article showing a further advance of 3 and i cents, the bulk of it telling generally at higher flguret and a few odd cars at unchanged prlcea. The interest in this cereal today wat noticeably better, with a fairly good shipping demand. Elevator Intercuts were tho biggest buyers, operators taking the bulk. No. 4 white sold at $1.70 and $1.71 and No. 6 white at $1.60 and $1.63. No. 4 yellow told at $1.68 and the No. 6 grade at $1.46 and $1.60. No. 4 mixed brought $1.56. while No, 6 mixed ranged from $1.48 to $1.48. Oata followed corn, advancing generally 14c to He and established a new high rec ord, the ttandard grade selling at the top, 85ic, No. t while sold at 8544u and No. 4 white at 85Vic. A part car of extremely poor aample grade oats went at 75c, Trade waa more active today and the greater part of these offerings disposed of early. A report was given out that exporting Inter ests in the east were blddlnr: 8814c for No. 3 white oats, 30 d- "s, gulf shipment, and this was a strengthening factor, whtlo bids from cereal makers were also somewhat higher. Rye was 3c higher, while barley was up Jo to 6c. Either cereal vtn in good de mand and found a ready disposal. No. 2 'rye sold at a new high figure, $2.15, as did the No. 2 and No. grades of barley, these offerings bringing $1.70. No. 4 barley sold at $1.68. A leading miller, quoting his opin ion of rye and barley, says that the strength In these cereals it principally a sentimental one, and that there Is no reason why they should retain their present levele. and are about due for a slight decrease In value. Flfty-elx-pound rye at $2.16 la more than the price fixed on wheat, and the welitht per bushel four pounds less, so thero is no visible reason for any expeotancy of higher prices. Clearances were. Wheat and flour nono; corn, none; oata, 1,269,009 bushels. Primary wheat receipts were 213,000 bu. and shipments 111.000 bu. against receipts of 763,000 bu. and shipments of 730,000 bu. last year.

Better conditions In regard to the supply of cars on western roads helped today to ease the corn mar ket. Prices closed steady at 18 01914 to 14 net decline, wtlh March, $1.2694 and May $1.25. Oats finished e to 114c down, and provisions unchanged to 60c lower. Loaders In the ' corn trade put them selves on record as saying that Improve ment In the car situation was becoming plainly apparent. Liberal numbers of east ern cars wore reported at having been de livered to western roads, and at being rap idly distributed In the corn belt. It wat further announced that energetic measures had been taken to care for new deliveries r; farmert. Under such circum stances, unfavorable weatbar was soon offset aa a bullish influenco The market however, held within narrow limits both at to volume of business and aa to changet In values. Gossip that the government wat buying freely at Interior polnta carried the oats market here up to new high price levels for the season, but commission house tel ling on the bulge led to a sharp reaction. Some of thla telling was ascribed to bear ish sentiment, resulting from President Wil son's letter to the farm conference' at Ur ban a, 111. i Realising sales on the part of recent buy ers weakened provisions.
