THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY , MAY 20 ! 188a-SIXTEEN PAGES. 11 JHE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Boars Finally- Make an Impression In the Wheat Pit. ADVANCING PRICES CHECKED. Corn Also SnfTerfl n Decline Provis ions ft I/lttlo Nervous Cattle Unusually Blow For Saturday Fairly Active. CHICAGO I'KODUCK MAIUCET. CHICAGO , May 10. [ Special Telegram to Tun Btn.1 Wheat went up through the 80's without any very staunch opposition , but on the day that the July option passed POc a blu fight developed anil there has ever slnco been n powerful bear party and each day nn Interesting struggle. To-day's ' has probably been the llorcest yet , Hcam & Bloom being the leading sellers. At night , notwithstand ing enormous buying by the bull party , July was weak nt SSJfc. The opening was nt OO e for the active option July with the bull crowd plainly making efforts to boost the price and to get short sellers on the run. Big buying by Holmholz , by E. W. Bally and Stnuflcr was set down us for the Cudnhy party , as was also , of course , the buying by that big operator's own house , bnt the mar ket lagged , nnd outside winter wheat mar kets were very sick , and the bears hero ap parently felt very secure. Bloom & Ucam nssumcd the selling leadership , nnil were In the pit In person about nil of the session , nnd were dem onstrative sellers all the while. This sldo had to aid them , heavy selling by St. Louis , especially through Swltzcr , fair weather here , better crop reports from souio sections and a very small export movement for the day. Outside bulls seemed to prefer standing off and watching the struggle be tween hlch rollers to giving their leadprs nny support by their own purchases. The report was that the buying , ns the market declined , was almost altogether by the Cudahy agents while the selling was qulto general. Even the foreign houses took that side with some boldness. At OOc for July it looked for un hour ns if the market was "pcegcd. " Tlicro certainly was n good deal of buying there , then nt b'Je there was some sort of a halt. But the Buying was not suniclcnt at cither point and July broke down to 8Sc from 89J c. There was plainly buying of about 100,000 bushels every % o down , Cudahy's own man doing this. The close was at bfljtfc , with this broker bidding that for nny part of 100,000 bushels. The primary market receipts were 178,000 bushels. Corn was fully as weak ns wheat , May dropping from 6UW to 57e and selling on the "curb" immediately after 1 o'clock at 50Jfc- Largo receipts J19 cars and much lurgcrcs- tlmatcs for Monday 590 cars started iho de cline. Robert , Warren &Co. sold about 600- , 000 bushels of July , filling up buyers from 5SKc down to 57c , nnd then Jones , Kennett & Hopkins followed on the sumo side. July opened ut 68 > o and closed nt the bottom BG3fc. | May at the close had almost entirely lost Its premium. Oats were dull and moved up and down with corn. Receipts wore 213 cars. The estimate for Monday is275 cars. May opened nt 35e nnd closed at 34c the bottom. July opened ut 33c , und also closed the bottom 33j c. In provisions the movement was a little nervous. Trading opened nt considerably better prices all around than last night's closing , and under u good demand sustained further improvement. As the dny ndvanccd , however , the market sympathlrcd with the break witnessed in grain , and suffered n gen eral depression. The closings showed but little change from yesterday's final prices. For July delivery the pivotal month lard . 'was ' even 2 } c higher , while both pork and short ribs were only ty c lower. CHICAGO IjlVE STOCK. CIIICAOO , May 19. [ Special Telegram to Tin : BEG.J CATTLE Taking out the receipts forty-one loads of stillers en route for ex port there were only nbout 1,200 cattle on sale barely u sufllciont number to make a market or induce buyers to go out hence business was more than ordinarily slow for Saturday , and the few fair to good natives among the arrivals sold n shade lower and common 10@15c lower. There were only five loads of Texans in the receipts nnd they sold nbout the same ns heretofore. Butchers' stock was slow. There was little or no de mand for canning stock. Shippers should constantly keep the fact before them that , during the season for heavy runs of Texan cows , stock of all classes must necessa rily sell nt low figures. Good fat cows nre worth ns much in the country ns in the city. There Is nothing now in the utocker nnd feeder trade. The run was light and only a few wanted beeves.

( HQIIS Taking twcnty-nino double decks en route for eastern markets out of the run , there were only about 7,000 on sale barely enough to go around. Consequently there was considerable competition between buyers nnil prices advanced a nickel or so , making nn advance of 10@15o for the week. Best heavy made $5.75@5.75 ; ono car of fancy made $5.90. Mixed sold largely ut $5.G5@5.70 for best und $5.55@5.00 for common. Light sold largely nt $5.55 < rar .00. FINANCIAL. NEW YOKK , May 19. STOCKS The stock market to-day was quiet except on Reudlng nnd St. Paul , and though tun news of the dny was favorable , the movements were confined to the smallest limit and left prices within email fractions of last evening's closing prices.

The banner of our Lord nnd Savior , Jesus Christ , was carried aloft by the brotherhood , and all Its nicmbortf had n commission to win souls to the service of the master. Ho hoped and trusted that ) Oinnha men would not bo behind In this noble work. Wnlking through the streets of this city , admiring Its magnificent buildings , mar * veiling at the prodigious strides mndo by thla great western center , ho was astonished to find HO many young men nbtond. Fifteen years' ' haul work ns a traveling mail has taught this lesson , that the man who Is n sincere Christian , the man who worships God In spirit and in truth , Is the man upon whom reliance could bo placed. If business men only rcallred It more , they would llnd that societies Ilka the brotherhood of Saint An drew were the best , detect Ivonitoncios of po lice force In the world. Never mind If ( hero were black sheep within It no living organi sation wns over perfection but his testi mony , nmt ho wns glad to give It , wns thiit.ctltid n good honest member of thin church , and there you find the reliable cash ier and bookkeeper.
