I MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY,_
Omaha Grain
Omaha, May II.
Omaha receipt! totaled 44 cars,
against 170 cars last year. Total
shipments were 91 oars, as compared
with 226 cars a year ago.
There was only a fair demand for
grain on the Omaha market and sam
ples of all kinds sold at about un
changed prices as compared with yes
terday.
Although Liverpool wheat cables
did not respond fully to our weak
ness of yesterday and displayed a
firm undertone, Chicago futures mar
ket opened decidedly weak owing to
the lower stocks and cotton markets
and beneficial rains in the winter
wheat district. S elllng of scenery has
been popular of late and no • doubt
conditions have Improved greatly, but
it is a question If this sentiment has
not gone too far. On the decline the
buying was of a more substantial
sort and the early dip proved to be
the lowest of the day, closing at a fair
advance, but genrt'ally lower than
yesterday.
, United Kingdom Wheat—Itussels
News wires: Our London agent re
ports the wheat market firm on the j
small world's export and an active in- i
quiry for distant position cargoes of
wheat, although business not equal to
expectations.
Grain Charters—New York: Charter-|
ing for grain yesterday, according to
the Commercial was again practical- 1
ly at a standstill with conditions at
Montreal and on the lakes said to be
far from satisfactory to shippers.
George M. Lecount reports from
Yandalla, III.: From St. Louis north
30 miles wheat looks generally good j
hut in lhis territory prospects not so j
good. Lots of wheat spotted and thin
and small growth ns the result of win
ter killing. Oats fair to good. More
rain needed. Weather cloudy, threat- ;
ening rain.
R. O. Cromwells wires from Toledo: ;
Fort Kayne to Toledo oatB stand fair.
Lighter soil will need rain in another j
week. Level lands moisture good, j
Need warmer weather for oats and
wheat but not warm enough for ma- j
turlty. It will be hard to make other [
than a fair crop of wheat. Some still |
only four Inches high and should head
in 30 days. Almost every grow r has
increased his oats acreage.
Joseph Wild says: The H-jear av
erage condition of spring wheat fol- j
lows: June 1. 93 per cent: July 1, 83
per cent; Augustl, 73 per cent; Sep- j
tember 1, 71 per cent. In eight out i
of 14 seasons the crop ha* finished j
with a 48 to 64 condition. Spring
wheat can drop 10 to 25 points any
month. In six out of 20 seasons only j
have we raised large spring wheat
yields of 270.000.000 to 300,000.000
bushels. The 20-year average is around
245,000,000 bushels. The N year crop
average is 213,000,000. We direct at
tention to the 22-point annual loss,
the late season and the apprehension
of crop authorities.
New York says: Overnight export
sales were well over 1.500,000 bushels.
Including the Greek order, which took
24,000 tons of Manitoba* and 7.500
tons of United States wheat.
—
Mssouri—Detailed crop report says: j
Missouri oats are 78 per cent of nor- ,
mal, against 65 per cent last year. I
March freezes destroyed a large por- I
t|on of the early sown crop, necessi- 1
fating reseeding, and many fields In
the west and southwest will be plowed I
up and planted to other crops. Growth
is behind the usual season on account 1
of cool weather. The northern half
of the state has good prospects.
Corn planting is going forward rapid
ly and with favorable weather the
1923 Missouri crop will practically all
he In the ground within a few days.
An increased acreage is indicated
throughout most of the state, except
in southeast counties, where cotton
and sunflowers are being planted
heavily. Corn is coming up to a good
stsnd in Vernon. St. Clair and fields
in the Missouri river bottoms. Plow
ing is 73 per cent finished. Spring
sowing: and planting is 56 per cent
done. Soil is In good condition and
being prepared for corn unusually
well.
Daily Trade Bulletin's monthly re
port on world's supply of wheat shows
a decrease of 37,111,000 bushels In
April, against 31,072,000 bushels In
.May and 36,765,000 bushels last year.
Charles Sincere At Co. of Chicago
say: Wheat—Despite the so-called
burdensome supply of wheat, the spot
grain continues to sell at a premium
over May. Stoaku at winter wheat
markets are substantially smaller than
a year ago and country elevators have
limited supplies. Minneapolis mills
will take care of the northwest stocks
and we look for moderate selling by
farmers while crop conditions arc in
their present state.

Chicago Grain
By Universal Service.
Chicago, May 12—What was regard
ed as the culmination of eastern
liquidation in wheat carried prices
sharply lower early to new lows on
the movement. On the scale down
there was close absorption by shorts,
seaboard houses and other strong in
terests, and while the market closed
lower it made a good recovery from
bottom levels.
Wheat closed H to He lower, corn
He lower to He higher, oats H to He
lower, while rye was He lower to He
higher, and barley steady.
News In wheat continued mainly of
a bearish nature. * The drouth over
the middle west was well broken by
further rains, and this, together with
the maintained weakness in stocks,
served to keep sentiment unsettled.
Corn Market Firmer.
On the whole, the corn market dis
played a firmer undertone and closed Ir
regularly. despite the falling off in
premiums on spot. Price* worked low
er early under continued liquidation
pressure but on the dip* commission
house buying Unproved, and covering by
shorts carried the deferred months to a
higher close.
Trade in oats tva* of small volume and
prices sought lower level*. There was
fair buying on the weak spot* but not
enough to offset the continued liquida
tion.
Seaboard houses bought rye future* In
removing hedge* against export sale*.
Northwest house* and elevator Interest*
sold on the hard spots and the close was
uneven.
lard closed unchanged to 2*4c higher
and rib* 2>* to 5c lower
Pit Notes.
Wheat crop news w'as considerably .
mixed today. While the beneflcal rain
fall over Indiana. Illinois and Ohio, and i
the generally favorable wheather cona
tions northwest had effect in the market, i
estimate* of reduced yields this year
fume in from many sections. Late re
ports from Oklahoma and Texas were
surprisingly pessimistic. Federal advices
had It that Ohio would probably raise
less than 70 per cent of the crop this
year
Shipments of wheat out of Duluth have
been on the increase, today’s clearance*
being close to three-quarters of a million
bu*he|s. Advices from Winnipeg ha.I it
that the Duluth competition hag resulted
in a fall In la«p tonnage hookings. Mon
treal shipper* claim that condition* are
far from satisfactory.
Primary movement of wheat for the
week totalled 3,564,000 bu*hel*. romparcl
with 4.150,000 bushel* the previous week.
The country la selling very moderately
of its reserve* vf the old crop.
Broomhall reported beneficial reins over
New 8outh Wales, where needed. Aus
tralian shipment* ^he past week showed
an appreciable Increase over the previous
week.

By Vnlvprmil Hervlce.
New York, May 12—Apprehension
j over the “buyers strike'1 In sugar,
I new construction, cqtton goods and
I woolens continued to be registered in
I lower quoted prices for stock today.
Trading was unusually active for a
t short session and prices in many in
' stances, particularly the steels,
dropped from i to 2 points to new
low levels for the year. The general
list showed heaviness from the out
set. Final prices were around the
lowest. Practically all departments
shared in the depression.
Some important huying of steel
common has been going on the last
two days. With steel shares down
from 10 to 20 points, the postpone
ment of new construction is believed
to have been discounted.
till Shares Ynrertain.
Those close to the biggest oil com
panies seem to be as much at sea rela
tive to the future trend of price* in that
industry aa outsiders. They are hoping
that the California producers will be
successful In agreeing on curtailed pro
duction but there are go mnny little fel
lows in that state who are racing to g#-t
all tho oil possible out of their BiTiall
acreage that there seems to be some
doubt as to whether unanimous curtail
ment can be accomplished. Even If suc
cessful, oil men say It would be 3f» days
before the oil industry would begin to
benefit therefrom.
The fact that mid-continent crude was
again cut 10 cents a barrel today, the
fourth reduction since th® decline started,
is evidence that the big producers have
not as yet reached the point with re
gard to curtailment of production to look
for Improvement In prices.
(liitoline l*rices Cut.
The effect of the unseasonable weather
on the consumption of gasoline was reg
istered In another cut in the price of
gasolln * by the Standard OH of New Jer
sey. The most popular oil shares held
relatively steady. The resistance shown
by Sinclair Consolidated seemed to con
firm reports that the group in that Issue
Is buying on a scale down.
The general bond market maintained a
strong front, although business was less
active Foreign governments, particular
ly French issues, were strong High
grade Industrials and rails were slightly
higher.
