Omaha Grain
Omaha, May 10.
Total receipts at Omaha were 70
cars against 150 cars last year. Total
shipments were 170 cars, as compared
with I9G ears a year ago.
trading in the Omaha market was
slow in starting, holders being un
willing to part with their samples
at the decline. The few early sales of
wheat were about 1 cent lower. Corn
sold 1 2c lower. Oats were l-4e lower.
Rye and barley were numerally Un
changed.
A strong Liverpool wheat cable j
and the influence of the court deei- !
sion in the sugar case ckused a high
er range of values in the early trad
ing. Local operators, however, took
advantage of the bulge to make sales
and this pressure was felt in a grad
ually declining market, for wheat
and corn, with oats sympathizing to
some extent. Renewed liquidation in
cotton and stocks worked against the
price of grain, as did rains reported
in the eastern part of the belt.
The decline was finally checked by
resting orders in the hands of com
mission houses, but only a minor re
action was scored.
Liverpool cable, Hrooinhall says:
Wheat market firm on American
strength and the sharp break in ster
ling exchange. Shorts covered on the
cold weather in the American spring
wheat belt and the better mills de
mand for parcels.
Burton Hungerford wires: Muncle,
Ind., to Indianapolis, Ind., the wheat
lias good growth, and condition. Oats
look much better since receiving mois
ture and should rapidly Improve with
warm weather. In central Indiana
probably 10 to 12 per cent of the corn
acreage planted: very little if any is
up. About four inches snow fell last
night and today providing ample sur
face moisture for the present.
Detailed Kansas state crop report
says: Much wheat in eastern Kansas
is infested with Hessian fly and all
the eastern Kansas Is badly infest
ed with cinch bugs, which may not 1
harm the wheat as long as there is
plenty of moisture, hut they will
prove a grave menace in case of a
June drouth.
Bussells News of New York wires:
About 200,000 bushels wheat was
reported worked early to the United
Kingdom and to Italy. One exporter
said he sold 10 loads of No. 3 Maui- j
toba to the United Kingdom, now \
loading and was after nearby wheat
for May delivery abroad. About 10
loads of gulf wheat was worked here
yesterday and it was reported wheat
to Havre, notwithstanding the holi
days.
Broomhnll of Liverpool says: Ar
gentine new corn is being freely of
fered. Situation has greatly improved
and shipments are likely to rapidly
increase. Crop reports from the in
terior are generally good and out
agent says that he maintains his pre
vious estimate of 100,000,000 bushels
exportable surplus of corn during the
season during April, 1923, and March,
1924.
Nebraska state weather and crop
bulletin says:
f About 25 per cent of the winter j
wheat crop will be abandoned and the .
condition of the remainder is 67 per
cent, according to the May report.
Hay acreage is larger but condition is
below last year. Loss of pigs is heavy.
Only 2.645,000 -acres winter wheat
will be left for harvest out of 3,527,000
planted last fall and the abandon
ment of 25 per cent leaves the small
est acreage for years, 1912, excepted.
The long continued drought is re
sponsible not only for much of the
reduction in planted acreage hut for
mtfCh of the abandonment as well.
Condition of winter wheat is 67 per
cent, ns compared to 82 per cent yast
year: 86 irer cent 10 years average.
The bulk of the crop has a thin
stand and is late hut has improved
since the rains and with continued
favorable weather may make a fair
yield.
Spring sowing and planting is some
what backward but possibly as far ad
vanced as last year. Preparation of
Welds for corn probably is not ns ad
vanced as last year.

IIjr (ni versa I Service.
Chicago, May 10.—Action of the
tvheat market ^va» disappointing to
the bulls. The start was appreciably
higher, in response to the firmness at
Liverpool and the court decision
against the government denying the
injunction against the sugar exchange,
but the buying power failed to broad
en and pressure forced wheat to lower
levels.
Wheat closed 1-8 to l-2c lower; corn,
1-2 to 5-8e lower; oats. 3-Jic down;
rye, 1 to 1 l-4c off, and barley fin
ished steady.
Wheat displayed a nervous tendency
and was easily influenced, this, no
doubt, being materially due to the
light volume of business. Local traders
were arrayed on the selling side.
It was the calendar date to sell wheat
and this was not overlooked. In all,
however, speculative minds are going
slow. ^
Corn Selin l ower
Corn acted easy all day and sold steadi
ly lower. Commission houses and locals
pressed the market at times. Local hulls
tried to lift prices on the dips, but their
efforts were nonavuiling. Receipts were
light and the cash basis strong.
Oats were light in trade an A sagged low
er with wheat and corn. TWre was fair
com mission house buying on the dips, but
locals sold on the hard spots.
Rye trade was tame. There were fur
ther bids said to be |n the market of
g«»od size, but the buying did not re
flect much business.
Provisions eased off finally after a firm
start. Lard closed 2'* to 22‘2c lower,
and ribs were 12V* to 17'2c lower.
Pit Notes.
Pautlonary speculation seems to be the
practice of the time. There was enough
bullish news circulated today to varrv the
market higher, but it flattened out on
all the swells. A fairly good export
business was consummated. The seaboard
reported sales of 500.ooo to 750,000 bush
els. considerable of which was Oulf.
Weather conditions over the grain belt
were regarded as favorable and tended to
oZsot the scattered pessimistic crop re
ports coming in. Indiana sent messages
that the plant was curling. The pres
ence of chine bug and Russian fly was
confirmed by the government in eastern
Kansas. (
Accepted advices on northwest pros
pects had it that spring wheat was placed
In the ground under generally favorable
conditions, although the acreage sown
was decreased. The movement of wheat
to primary markets was not large, espe
cially In the northwest. Cash demand
there was active and stocks at Minneapo
lis showed a decrease of 400.000 bushels
for five days.
Flour trade is somewhat better. Ship
ments out of Minneapolis were larger and
the demand there more active. Locally
and in the southwest milling samples of
wheat wfere In “good demand.*’ In this
market a local miller paid :t rents over
the previous price for a ear of No. 3 red
wheat.

By BROADAN WALL.
' New* York, May 10.—Inasmuch as
stocks in general advanced on Tues- 1
day and Wednesday it was only
natural that following the rush by
professional shorts to cover the mar
ket . hould become Irregular today,
because of the exercise of discrimina
tion hy chose still having confidence
in the constructive movement.
This explains the action of some
active stocks closing with net ad
vanees while others declined.
A glance at the general list shows
that those indu$rial shares which i
made the largest gains were of com
panies that are kno^n to be making
big earnings and contemplate distrib
uting a large share of their profits
to shareholders.
The steel group showed heaviness
throughout the session, due largely to
the daily announcements of the post
ponement of new construction.
Railway Kliare* hmpr, •
Transportation shares for the most part
were slightly lower and practically no at
tention was paid to I he statement by
President Finley of the Chlcagci.* North
western. that the outlook for the com
mon carriers Is the brightest in many
kcars. The railroad deportimmt came in
ror .some attention by reason of the un
usual Hctlvity*and strength in Pittsburgh
West Virginia railway shares, which
rose more than 5 points.
An analysis of railway earnings for the ;
rirst quarter shows that there «re a num
ber of them the purchase of which has
tween advised, riot withstanding that they
ire making a very poor showing of earn
ngs for the first three months of this
>eur.
An evidence of some of the good things <
which are In store for the shareholders of |
hose companies showing large profits and i
having a big volume of business on their ,
books may best be Illustrated by the :
Action of the American locomotive board 1
today, which raised Its quarterly dividend j
disbursement from $1.50 to $2.50. thus'
Placing the shares on a $10 annual divi- J
lend basis.
Sterling Slightly Higher.
The shares sold off following the
actual announcement of the increased
dividend and a statement I hat the com
pany proposed 1-suing two new shares of
• lock for each share of $100 par value
now outstanding. The locomotive busi
ness }t, enjoying record-breaking prosper
ity.
.Sterling exchange milled slightly. An I
it her reason offered in explanation of the
recent depreciating in its quoted market
price Is that the Hritlsh adverse trada
balance, as the result of world trade, has
reached approximately HO. 000.000 pounds
i he first quarter of this year, compared
with an adverse balance of about 19,000.
[>00 pounds the last quarter of 1922.
A better undertone prevailed in prac
tically all bonds. Convertible sugar bonds,
especially Punia Allegre 7s, were in good
demand Liberties were slightly higher.
Speculative securities were steadier.
