CHICAflO PrtODUCK MARKET.
CIIICMJO , Jan. 28. [ Si > cclal Telegram to
the Ym : . ] The wheat market held up fairly
well until the last half hour , when the prop
scemud to fall out from under It and there
was a sudden drop of J c per bushel. About
ull the advance gained yesterday was lost to
day in ten minutes. Hutchlnson's buying
had turned local sentiment bullish and the
crowd appeared to bu prepared with plenty of
long wheat for the expected continuation of
the bulge to-day , but It did not come , and
there followed the natural result of an attempt -
tempt to "even up" in the last trading hour
of the week. Hulchlnson was a moderate
buyer again this morning , but It was thought
that other brokers wcro selling out the load
he took on yesterday , and the market had u
sagging tendency almost from the first.
There was a very largo quantity of wheat
for sulo for St. Louts account , mid thut
market , being relatively lower than ours ,
gave an opportunity for some traders to buy
there mul sell hero mid realize a protlt , all of
- which was so much added weight for this
market to the bears. There was but little
outside support , imch ns was expected to
follow yesterday's advance , and , In
deed , the country scemi'd to rather
llko taking advantage of the
bulge to soil out on. And so "tho Hutchln-
son bulge , " us it was called yesterday , was
pulled down much quicker than It was built.
May wheat opened at 82 fo and the lowest
point reached in early trading was b2/4'c ' , and
there was an almost immediate recovery to
8 XVfS2Jfc. ( At about 82 ( TtS2Xc , the price
hung for a long time , then suddenly dropped
almost without n halt to 81 J , and the highest
price touched thereafter was 8'K83) } ( c , the
close being nt 8IJ ( S82c. February wheat
opened nominally at 70Xc , sold ut 70Xc and
closed nominally at 75j ( it70e. ;
Corn showed some strength at the opening ,
but it did not last nnd a gradual decline was
followed by a sharp one , May corn closing J-/e
under the opening and at the lowest point of
the day. Country speculators were evi
dently taking advantage of the bulge to un
load their long corn , and receiving houses
wcro steadily selling against the cribbed
coin held by their custo'tners. When the
local crowd had thus been pretty well filled
uj ) there was still plenty of corn for sale , and
local scalpers becoming alarmed , all tried to
sell ut once , and down went the prlco. May
corn opened at 53Xc and during the early
trailing sold at 53 ? 53Vc , then slowly
sagged to Ka and suddenly dropped In the
lust liulf hour to 52J < c , which was the price
nt the close. February corn opened nt 43 0
uslced and sold down to 43c bid.
Yesterday's bulge in the speculative oats
market was us ephemeral as that of thu other
grain markets. May outs opened at ! ioc.
which was yesterday's closing price , and
fell to 33c and closed at that price asked.
In provisions yesterday's improvement was
in a great measure lost. In the absence of
uny particular demand mid largely in antici
pation of largely increased receipts of hogs
the coming week , the bear side rather held
control. No direct or open effort was made
to crowd the depression , yet the ir.avicet was
easier from the start mm suffered a general
decline. At adjournment pork was 2Jir
lard 10@12l.4o mid short ribs 5@7' ' c lowei
than last night's closing. Trading was a
little slow. May , thu active spoeuhitivo de
livery , sold from $11.75 down to $11.50 for
pork , from $7.75 down to $7.05 for lard nnd
from $7.b5 dowii'to $7,75 for short ribs.

uny other Saturday. The receipts wcro light
mid but few wanted outsldo of cnnncrs and
ctty butchers , yet there were suftlcient orders
hero on shipping and export account to take
about all the good natives on sale. Owing to
the scarcity of Texans there was a fair do-
iiiand for cows and heifers. Nearly every

The receipts of cattlu lor the week cndimr
to-day have been fairly liberal and while the
class of stock bus not been above the aver
age the number of head sold to local buyers
exceeds that of any corresponding period for
some time , Prices on stock have fluctuated
considerably but at present the market is in
n fair condition when thu class of stock and
condition of other markets is considered.
The receipts of hogs huvo been moderate
nnd prices huvo improved since thollrstof
the week , us will bo seen by the tublo below.
There is no good reason to doubt an improve
ment from this time forward. True a rad
ical change may not instantly occur , but there
is'iio reason to doubt that the prosj > ccts for a
steady chanpo for the better nro good.
The sheep market has boon fair witti mod
erate receipts and some sales ut lirst-cuibs
prices. *
Cut t to.
The receipts to-day were light and the
market devoid of any special features. The
offci ings weie principally common stock mid
but few head changed hands ns far us local
buyers were concerned. Eastern roads
being blockaded makes tlio getting of cars in
which to ship dressed beef almost impossible
and packers do not dcslio to accumulate too
much stock. Prices were some lower than
on the day previous , but this is accounted for
by the receipts consisting of poorer grades.
The receipts wcro moderate and Inequality
fair. The market opened strong at yester
day's prices nnd closed n little weak. Some
good heavy hogs sold at prices n shade
higher , ono load of choicehrngimr5.45. ! Ono
load of inferior stuff was left over.

Trade Tuples.
The condition of Omaha's trade is much
the same as It was ono week ago , although
there has been some variations in prices on a
few lines. The dry goods market is un
changed and has been for sometime , although
there are very strong indications that a
change will bo noted this coming week.
Gioccncs as a matter of course are subject
to changes and while variations 'havo oc
curred in some lines , more especially lard ,
meats , sugars , etc. , prices us u rule are about
steady. Flour mid feed , hay and grain are
steady , and although the former has varied
considerably in other markets , prices hero
have remained firm. Spirits have advanced
nnd are quoted in some instances 3 cents
higher per gallon- Leather , hides and furs
are quoted us about steady , u slight upward
movement being noted. Drugs , paints , oils ,
etc. , are steady. All lines of produce have
been especially dull during the cold weather ,
but at present u slight improvement in the
tone of the market can readily bo seen.
Lumber is steady and but llttlo doing al
present , although small spring orders are
beginning to come in. Wholesale dealers in
all lines report thut salesmen are already
taking good orders for spring trade and thut
the prospects for the ensuing year are very
llattering. Collections nro good.

The ( IcnlH in Dirt Cotitlnuo Active.
Inei-cnso In Clearings.
The realty market continues active and the
leniand for Omaha dirt seems to be Incrcns-
ng , ono indication of which was the pur-
huso yesterday of lund In South Omaha ad-
oinlng Armour's packing houses for $95,000 ,
> y Riiinhan & Maloney of this city. The
irokers and other Interested parties feel con-
Idcnt that 1SSS will bo the most prosperous
car yet experienced in the history of the
Ity. The great improvements made during
8S7 have commanded the attention of the
'iitlre country. The project of the cable
ine extending Us lines to tlic city limits and
ho largo number of private improvements
ilrcndy announced to bo pushed to complo-
Ion during the coming spring and slimmer ,
ire most gratifying and tend to increase oon-
Idcncc In the city. Many prominent citizens
express tlu'lr belief that building will bo cur
ried on more extensively during 18SS than
luring 1 87. The Now York Life Insurance
ompany will oxnend at least $5000,000 during
ho year , while the HII : Publishing company
vill spend at least one-halt of that amount.
I'heu the city hall will probably bo pushed
orwurd and several business blocks. Work
on the new bridge noross the Missouri will
> o continued and there will undoubtedly
) e employment for every ono. The follow-

Cinrvno , Jan. 28. [ Special Telegram to
the Hiu. : ] Hankers have their nvallivblo
funds well placed and are able to loan their
dally collections readily. The demand for
money , however , during the pifst week \yus '
chiefly from the larger western cltlcsand con 'f
siderable paper was placed at outside figures ,
The Inquiry for loans on behalf of board of
trade operators was comparatively light , as
they are able to carry property offered wllh
private mentis. Packers need a littlenun.nclal
assistance but their wants are not pressing
and their loans make no perceptible change
in the market. Some currency has been for
warded to smaller interior points for the
purchase of grain , but the snow blockade has
checked this business to n considerable .ex
tent. Most of the grain received at the
larger cities has been withdrawn from
country elevators. Wholesale merchants
have presented considerable paper for ilia-
count nnd in most cases they have been nc-
commodated. As n rule bunker * are very
cautious in placing their fund ) at present.
As usual a crop of "after-holiday failures" Is
coming to the surface. Consequently they
give warehouse receipts nnd well-known so-
curltles preference in granting favors to
borrowers. Rates of Interest have been n
little more favorable to borrowers , though
only exceptionally good names succeed in
obtaining concessions. Very llttlo money Is
loaned at over 7 per cent , and some round lots
wcro placed at ( Xgil j per cent. On the street
rates range nt 000)n ) per cent. Reports from
eastern financial centers indicated no partic
ular change In that quarter. Money Is not
quite so close , though Interest rates ore
steadier at &X@ X pei. cot ) , fol. time paper.
Advices from foreign markets showed an
increase in specie in leading govern
mental banks , with money being
loaned ut low rates to reliable borrowers.
The speculative trade in that quarter is re
ported to be improving. New York exchange
was in fa.ir supply and the feeling was easier.
The demand was only moderate. Sales bo-
twcen banks were made at parO5 per cent pre
mium , per $1 , < XX ) and the market closed steady
nt 25 ( < f80e. Foreign exchange was iu mod-
crate demand nnd the supply only fair. Ex
ports of produce , cotton and petroleum dro
moderate , consequently the offerings of ship
pers' sixty days documentary bills on Lon
don were not very largo. Sales wore mtido
ntM.K2' ' jH8 : , and the market closed steady
ntW.b2JjWJ.83. Stocks in New York wore
only moderately active. Speculators wore
not disposed to do much trading , though the
undertone of the market Indicated rather
more steadiness nnd prices averaged higher
on nil leading properties. Apparently there
was less pressure to sell nt the recent de
cline , operators not being will
ing to acccept lower prices.
Tlio earnings of leading railroads
uro beginning to compare rather unfavorably
with the returns of ono year ago. Advices
from foreign markets indicated llttlo moro
strength In that quarter with some Inquiry
for prominent stocks on investment and ac
count. Western operators were backward
about trading and the greater portion of bus
iness was credited to "room traders. " The
aggregate sales on the Now York stock ex-
clmiiKO for the past wcro 977,000 shares.
A dull , weak nnd unsettled set of produce
markets prevailed during the greater portion
of the week , and the "short" interest ap
peared to have had control of thu situation
temporarily at least. The "longs" scorned
to bo somewhat demoralized mjd apparently
were anxious to unload n good share of their
holdings , while the chief aim of the "shorts"
appeared to bo for prices to n lower range ,
with u view of bringing "stop orders" to tlio
surface so as to enable them to rcali/o hand
some profits. No special features were pre
sented favorable to Improved prices. For
eign news .was unsatisfactory. The
movement of grain was light
to all leading markets. while
the export movement was limited. Near
the close , there appeared to be n little better
demand for leading articles and the market
exhibited n little more strength , accompanied
with u sharp advance in prices , which was
moderately well supjiorted. Outside ol
wheat and barley there is no particular de
crease in tlio supplies of grain. Owing to
the snow blockade and severe cold weather ,
business has been greatly Interfered with In
the interior , and it is presumed that several
weeks will elapse before business will bo
actively resumed. In provisions the market
has been unsettled , with fairly active trading
nt irregular prices. Stocks uro
gradually increasing ut the lending
packing centers. Speculative trading
centered largely In contracts for May de
livery. In fact , operators tire anxious to
transfer their contracts ahead as much na
possible. The shipping demand has boon
only fair , with orders generally for limited
quantities to meet pressing wants. Shippers
anticipate an cquali/aiion of f rolghts from all
western points about February 1 , so that the
Chicago market will not bo discriminated
against. Exports both of gialii and provisions -
visions nro lighter than reported ono your
ugo , The movement of llvo stock Is moderato -
erato nnd thu packing of the west shows u
further slight decrease compared with thu
returns of last bcason ,
