Chicago I'roducc Market.
CHICAGO , Mnrch 10 , fSpcclnl Telegram to
tbcBiE , ] The wheat market showed sotno
t trcngth early In the session ntid even ad
vanced # c iibovo the opening flgurcs , but nf-
! tcr tliat the market sagged slowly for awhllo
; and then n little faster when the knowledge
' of the government crop report was dissem
inated. However , a majority of traders re
fused for some time to believes that there
was any crop report , as It was generally un
derstood Umtnono would bo Issued before
April 10. Hut the report catno through the
usual channels and bore Internal evidence In
'i fls style of composition of Its authenticity.
Still there were doubters iind moro who
questioned Its accuracy. The fact that there
were 10,000,000 bushels moro 'wheat In farm
ers' hands than on March 1st , 1837 , made so
i decided n change in the situation and was so
far from the opinion generally held that It
was not easily credited. The effect , how
ever , was depressing and prices fell another
140 because of It. Hut the bears were not
pressing their advantage. The local scalp
ing shorts had to "even up"
< for Sunday , and the small decline
was nearly all recovered before
J the close. Trade was at no time very largo ,
! and with the exception of some frco
J selling supposed to bo for New
v1 York account , early in the day , was largely
V local. May wheat opened at S0c , advanced
{ toSOXc , then gradually declined to 80c
with some recovery before the close , which
; was at & % ( gEOlc. Juno wheat opened at
81c , sold up to 81)c uown to 60 'c and closed
The course of prices in the corn pit fol
lowed those in wheat very closely. There
was n slight advance early , but this was fol
lowed by a continually sagging market until
, Just before the close , when there was a little
recovery. The government crop report , al
though it showed nearly 100.000,000 bushels
" less corn In farmers' hands than a year ago ,
was taken as a boar argument , the bear
i theory being that with prices so much higher ,
! and no greater shortage than thus indicated ,
, ' there was no reason for expecting higher
' prices. In fact , the report caused moro weak
ness and a greater decline hero than in
wheat. Trade was not large , however , and
the shorts taking their profits before the
close caused some reaction. May corn
opened at CSJi'c. sold up early to G2 %
@ 53c the gradually declined to above
C'JXc and later foil with great rapidity to
62'iJe , recovered a little at the last and closed
at 52 < g52'c , Juno corn opened at 52c
sold up early to 52J c , declined to 52)ffc and
closed at that price.
\ The speculative oat market was dull and
( without special feature.- Prices declined
, somewhat following the lead of the other
grain markets. May oats opened at 3\c.
sold tip to 3lM@3lc , down to 31 c and
closed at 31 f@31c. Juno oats opened at
, sold down to UH c and closed at
In provisions the week closed with a strong
market. From the the
opening to-day feel
ing favored the bull pido , and in some in
stances higher prices prevailed. In a word ,
trade , if anything , exhibited an advancing
turn , though lard and short ribs closed prac
tically unchanged as compared with last
night's quotations. Pork sustained an ap
preciation of 2J o. Cash product was in
better demand , and in a speculative way a
fair activity was witnessed , especially during
the morning. For May , the leading future ,
pork sold nt$14.10@14.22i < ; lard nt $7.72K@
7.75 , and short ribs at $7.2o7.30. Pork for
the saino month closed at $14.17 , lard at

Nmv Yonic , March 10. [ Special Telegram
to the Br.i : . ] STOCKS Stocks in London
wore firmer early , but weaker later. In
Wall street an Unsettled feeling prevailed
but the changes with few exceptions wer <
email aim mainly in favor of the bears ,
Reading and Lackawanna showed the mos
activity and strength , and New England the
greatest weakness and decline , dropping 2
points on frco selling Induced by reports that
the company was in bad shape and would go
into a receivers hand. Grangers were steady ,
as there is a prospect of restoration of rates
March 20. The labor trpubles , however , are
far from being settled , and th ? character of
advices received from the west , while yuilo
assuring in many sections , wore the reverse
In others , ono report being that the Atclusou
engineers would strike If they were ordered
to move Hurlington freight. The gossip was
that the Now York Central would increase
its dividend X per cent at the next meeting.
On the other hand It was also asserted that a
heavy liquidation had recently taken place in
the Vanderbilts , and that unless tbo market
was supported In belter shape than of late a
decline would follow. Friends of Lacka-
wanna say the road is earning at the rate of
13 per cent per annum , that the road's reserve -
servo fund is larger than over , and the stack
is selling 20 points lower than when the coal
trade was demoralized. The bank statement
was expected to show a largo decrease , but
agreeably surprised everybody by only decreasing -

Onmlia'8 Trade.
The strike on the lines of the Chfcirof
Burlington & Qulncy 1ms lind a depressing
effect on the wholesale trade of this city dur
ing the past ten days. While many orders
from outside towns and the , country hfcvo
been received , the tie-up has rendered it im
possible to fill those In that portion of the
country accessible only by the lines of the
Chicago , Burlington ft Quiney system , and
much dissatisfaction 1ms boon expressed by
country dealers nt not being nblo to get their
goods. Wholesale men in the city , however ,
nro confident that when traftlo Is resumed a
very largo increase will bo noted. The strlko
affects all frroccrs , dry goods men nnd Bgrl-
cultural Implement dealers alike. Outside
.his the outlook Is very good ami the promise
) f nn early spring mid returning sunshine
ms had an encouraging effect. The credit
of country storekeepers , to say nothing ot
obbors , is In good shape noror ?
was better , and this healthy Ute
ms been brought about by that which hurts
10 oncpromptness in making imyincnU. Col-
ectlons hnvo been peed since the first of the
car and with few exceptions sales have been
ror cash. Retail dealers nro doing n good
justness both In the city and country. All
incs of produce which hnvo been dull for
some time nro picking up nnd prices nro Im-
irovlng nt will bo noted on rending the Bfcu'fl
narket reports. Stnplo lines of merchandise
mvo been formally steady for some time nnd
mt llttlo variation In prices has occurred.
Previous to the Chicago. Burlington &
Julncy diflleulty it was the Intention of
umber merchants to chance- quotations nnd
reduce prices somewhat , as It was confidently
expected that rates would bo unlformally
owcr on nil lines of railroads. The strike ,
lowover , hns changed matters somewhat n'ud
umber is still quoted nt the same rates.
A general expectation exists that building
.his year will bo very active In this city , ami h
vhilo there Is n buro possibility that the a
lerecntago of increase will not bo as great as *
hat of 1887 compared with 18SO it certainly
will bo larco and afford an outlet for money ,
poods and labor. The real estate market Is
licking up rapidly , and notwithstanding the
'act that It-is yet early in the season for trad-
tig nnd Investing , sales nro becoming very
uimcrous. On the whole the outlook for all
tranches of legitimate business is very
icnlthy , and readiness to handle the trade
should bo maintained by all live men in busl-
jcss.Exchanges from all parts of Iho stale
ndlcato n feeling of confidence nnd active de-
crminaUon , nnd with the fair prospects now
n view there Is no reason why Omnha should
lot this year enjoy u season of prosperity
never before equalled.
Commercial Notes.
During the entire month of Mnrch cash
wheat kept between 74 @ 70 > J.
The higher price of corn this year is equal
ling the vatuo of a smaller yield as com *
[ lared with last year.
In 1&87 the United States led the world In
the production of steel , witli 2.339,071 pounds
against 2,502,502 pounds in 1880. j |
There were 50,000,000 pounds of cotton seed : 5
oil used in the manufacture of "refined lard" .jsij
in the United States last year.
According to the Bankers Monthly , six
Imnking institutions in this state wcro dis
continued during ihc month of February.
rumor is prevalent in commercial circles ,
in Chicago that a syndicate has been formed
for the'purpose of buying corn and bulling it
to a much higher point than ut present.
About 75 per cent of the exports of this ,
country during the llscal year were agricul
tural products against 25 per cent of manu
factured articles including rcllnedpetroleum.
Sugar being controlled by ono trust nnd
glucose bj another , a Boston syndicate pro
poses to organize a sorghum trust. The next
number on the programme will doubtless bet
a maple sugar trust.
The Bankers' Monthly Is authority for the
statement that the amount of deposits in ,
national banks in the states of Nebraska ,
Iowa , Minnesota , Kansas and Dakota _ terri
tory is $55,8(11,333. ( Of this amount the
national banks of Omaha huve $12,000,000 On
deposit.
Three years ago Colonel Oliver Payne and
other largo eapitalists formed the cattle trusft
with n capital of $25,000,000 , to control the
meat supply o the world. Providence and
Iho elements were against the movement and
disease and severe storms decimated the
vast herds. To-day about $12,000,000 worth
of stock is locked up in Wall street for sale
at 15 cents on the dollar , while thu rest can
be purchased In Chicago and Cincinnati ak
the same prico.
The New York Morning Journal saysi
"Wall street is In nmost discouraging stale.
There is no way of lolling from day to day
how the market will open the next morning.
Bulls have insisled and predicted that every
thing was at bed rock , nnd a change must
necessarily mean higher prices. There hava
been practically no changes , however , except ;
those occurring during each day's trading.
Effort has been made in n feeble manner to
revive speculation in securities that hava
been dormant , but ambition has halted and
the slocks laid quietly away after being
loycd with a few hours. "
The Banker's Monthly sums up Omaha's
business in a nutshell as follows : "A Busy
Cily. Omaha planlod ever 120,000,000 o
brick in Blares , bank buildings , packing
houbcs and residences during the year 1887.
The sales of Omaha's jobbing houses for
twelve months foot up ever $40,000,000. The
stock yards have handled over 205.000 cattle )
nnd over 1,100,000 hogs. The smelting works ,
breweries , oil mills , distilleries , shot factory ,
lead works , foundries and minor Industrinl
concerns have turned out over $20,000.000 ofj
products. The packing houses have- slaught
ered over 05,000 head of cattle , 875,000 hogs
nnd 50,000 sheep , which wcro converted into
meat product nt n cost of over $13,000,000.
The sales of Omaha wholesale grocers aggre
gate over $8,000,000 during the year. Ona
hundred and twenty-two passenger trains
run In nnd out of Omaha every twcnty-foun
hours. The national banks of Omaha hava
ever $12,000,000 on deposit , nnd the cloaringq
of these banks last year was very nearly
$150.000,000. Over 7,000 skilled and unskilled
workmen are employed in Omaba industrial
establishments. In addition to these , over
2.000 laborers were employed last season In
the Omaha brick yards. These uro solid
facts. "
