1 THE OMAHA DAILY Bl FRIDAY , AUGUST 21 , 1891 , THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS , Grain Again feverish and Subject to Rapid and Wide Variations. FEARS OF CLIQUE MANIPULATIONS , Evidence Not Conclusive Hut ttvcry Indication I'olnts to a Vigorous nnil ConiDIncd KfTort to Corner the Ccreiil. CIHCAOO , An ? . 50. The grain market ! were again feverish nnd subject to rapid nml wide variations in prlco In tliu early trading thl * morning. Wheat and oats continued excited wltll occasional SDolIs of dullness nnd closed with decided advances , but Corn , nftor open ing excitedly higher , Brow dull nnd weak iin < l frilled to respond to tlio later advance * In tlio ether cereals. This wns duo to fears of ma nipulation l > y aclliiuo which Is said to com prise a number of huavy local houses with eastern backing who are supposed to bo making a corner In this curcal. Traders wuro all Hiisplclous of manlpulnt'oii In December wheat but the evidence of this was not con clusive , us the news of tlio day was MUllIelont with Itself , taking Into consideration HID nervous condition of the market to cause the advance niadt' . OWIiu.it opened wllli a bull hurrah with De cember iiioted | at from 8l.05toil.l"iU against tl.OI nt the ole 0 yesterday and sold quickly up to fl.lXiund declined to 4I.IM. It lingered In that neighborhood for a tltnu and then tuok n downward tnovu to { I.OHi , redounded to II.05U : broU-o to tl.UIAll of this occurred within Ilio llrit two hours of the suasion. The Iluctuatloiis later In the day displayed the B.IIIIU nervousness and tincurtalnty among the tradeiH , but juices moved up on a higher plum1. About 18 o'clock the price shot up In live minutes from il.O'.H to JI.U7 , < lropped bnek ' , { 0 nnd thnti jumped again after touching J1.07S , and stuck for a time then rebounded to fl.W , out under heavy oUt-rlius near the cli o , broke nnd closed at HMJt. 'L'lio trading bu- catnn very animated at the higher range of prices and a roptltlon of the panicky state of affairs existing on Inst/ Saturday uirl Mon- ( lav appeared Imminent for a moment or two. The day's news WHS strongly hulll.sh. Tlio Liverpool market Is ' , d higher and the weather In England wts reported to bo unset tled. Private cables brought buying orders from Paris and both Baltimore and Now Vork wired hero that foreigners word taking all of- ferlncs. The clearings from the Atlantic sea board wore unusually heavy , reaching about 1.20'idu bushels. If the Hour lie Inc udud , nnd Now Orleans cleared 14.000 bushels for Ant werp , Hut thogroit buUo of the day was duo to a dispatch to the olTeut that the Itus- Man government had Issued an order pro hibiting the export of grain containing 8 per cent of rye and another cablegram which re ported a prohibition of export of rye from Finland. Then another Item to the oll'ect that the fortresses of Knssla were belnz vie- milled Immediately raised rumors of war nnd Kent prices to the roof , Tlio corn market was very nervous and cr- ratlc. The commission men. whether buying or selling orders , had a hard tlmo If the orders were limited anywhere within ! c of the mar ket. The crowd were all buyers or all sellers ' ut the Baiiio moment on several occasions. The aborts were in hot water throughout must of the session und nfrnld to trade on account of the supposed corner. Much long wheat , is hold hero by prominent houses , presumably for eastern men and the shorts fear that to protect they w 11 no on a bull campaign If the bears. In expectation of largo receipt's , begin to sell shorts freely. One of the commission houses which Is credited with holding a long line of long corn for Now Yorkers , was vorv busy today disposing of September and replacing It wllli October. If this should be come gouornl with the ether bull houses Inter ested It would Indicate either u postponement of the dou ! or the belief to the parties who are long that they have only to wait a sulllclent time and the prlco will advance of Itsolf. There wus ciulto a doiinnd for coriifordlroct shipment to Kn rlnnd and 5 O.OOJ bushels wcro arranged for with ono of the freight lines. September In rlllTorunt parts of the pit at tlio muni ) time sold nt opening * 07e up to 09c , but fnw bought it at. the higher prlco and Its tumble - blo was qu'ck , fijo , ( ! being marked In the llrst halt minute's trading. It recovered again to GT'Jo ' very quickly and later It reached CHSSc. It broke later to ( 'Wo but the market rallleil considerably with wheat and closed at 07 Se , Good buying of oats for export , both hero and In Now York frightened tne shorts who literally tumbled over ono an other in their efforts to cover. The provision market was rather active and notwithstanding the heavy receipts of hogs mid lower prices for them the products wcro Inclined to firmness. The lluetiiatlons were narrow and the changes from yesterday's closing prices small. The load.tig futures ranged as follows : Cash quotations wuro as follows : I'r.ouu Dull and unchanged.

The stocic market today again save ovldenco of the revival of confidence among all classes of operators nnd the course of prices during the day wns most discouraging to those who for ono reason or nnotlioraro looking for a material reaction In stocks. London was again a he.ivy seller and the manipulation was not wanting to make various depressions , but the volume of buying for outside account wus such as not only were the free offerings absorbed but mar ked advances In many oases were scon. An ovldenco of the general Increase In confidence in higher prices In the market was the easier tendency In time money with the re laxation of the severe scrutiny of collaterals while the long expected revival ot Interest and business m the bond markoc Is the moat liilluontlal factors In the situation. Tlio Union Pacific matter Is out of the way at least for tbe present und the market has no cloud upon It and the stocks traded In from day to dny.show a most encouraging In crease. The grangers as usual of Into ab sorbed most of the attention of operators while St. Paul and Atchlson were the ones most largely traded In. Iturllngton and Hock Island displayed the most pronounced strength. Outside of Union Pacific the Gould stocks wuro given most attention and the In dustrials again became prominent both for activity nnd .strength. Sugar , Cotton Oil nnd Cordage all scored handsome gains. Sugar was especially strong In the reaction on the rumors In regard to the trust nml the Spreokles' refineries , while now life was given Cordage nnd it spurtijcl up 'J.i ! per cent to 0 ! ) percent. The market finally closed fairly active nnd still rather heavy at hut slight chnnges for the day In most cases.

Laii onhore Brothers to Code roll Brothers : The following was the olliclal ranso of prices on the leading options nt this point today : OIIICAOO , A HI ; . 20. R G. Ijosau k Co. , to llryan Commission 1 o. : The wheat market opened stront ; at jl.05Y ? on the holier cables and Hhorts covered fruuly on the swell nnd the market broke It olV to Jl.Ot'i , but jjooJ buying on the larso elonrnnces turned the tide up again and then the news of the day on export duty on wheat from Russia caused general buying and a sharp advance to $ I.OSU with the cloio linn at it.07. Shorts covered freely on the advance nnd wo think the market ut the close nearer oven than for a long time. Corn started oil'with a rush this morning at C8J { , but closed only steady at B"i ! the future of the trade today being free bellIng - Ing by receiving houses. Some September longs were buying the October option tcday. Oats ruled strong all day , closing linn. The buying was for eastern account and by oper ators who llguro the relative difference be tween corn and oats too groat. Wo look for them to como closer together. Provisions closed steady , The Rolling was by the packers and the buyers of yesterday , while the out side was selling the September product nnd luivlir , ' the long futures. OiiiuAno , Aug. 20. Schwartz , Dunce & Mo- Cormick to V. C. Swartit Co : The volume of trade in wheat has not boon very largo today but the market has boon active nnd the lluetiiatlons frequent nnd violent. The news was all bullish , foreign markets scared the following advances : London Cd , Liverpool 2d from yusterdav , Paris 20o nml llurlln ii of a mark. Itoeelpts nt eleven primary points were large. li5SUJO ( bushels , but wcro exceeded by the shipments , which were 1,717,000 bushels , three Atlantic ports clearing over 1,100,000 bushels of wheat alone not counting Hour. A sensational cable wns received from I'nrls saying that the estimate of the Krcnch crop was being reduced tofiO percent. Good export purchnses were reported from Now York. The result of all this bull news was an active and strong market nnd It begins to look us if wo had had our reaction from the ora/.y advance of last Monday and that our market might work still higher. Corn has been active , but hnsnotshown much strength. The local crowd liavo an Idea that the New York contingent is trying to sell out ttiolr long corn and are determined to make that operation nsdllllcult as possible. They are aided In their bearish schemes by n slacken ing In the cash demand , car lota being but llt tlo , If any , over the September price. Receivers report , an Increasing- movement In the country and that their country shippers are willing to accept present prices with great freedom. They i lhp claim that the corn which they aru now selling Is not short but will be met ny actual deliveries from the coun try. The oat deal which has bean lying so ( inlet uml Inmbllko waked up today In line shape. The start was caused by reported Hales of round lots both hero nnd In Now York for direct export , nnd the shorts who have been afraid to soil corn but litivo sold oats ntthoptuscnt low price to freely began to bo nlnrmed at the probability of u dNappenrnnco of stocks. Oats wcro worth for feeding purposes two- thirds the price of com and the relative market * have been entirely out of shnpo. 1'rovlslonsj hnvo been dull buttlrm. The east Is again nppimrlng In the provision market as u buyer , while locnl packers arc inclined to lalio the other side. Nuw YOIIK , Aus. 20. Konnott , Hopkins ft Co. to S. A. MeWhorter : Tlio disposition of the stock market today has been to gravitate to wards lower prices. The market has not de clined.In n manner Indlcntlve of any pressure to depiess It. but rather has shown tin absence of demand. London gave It the llrst start down by selling freely nt the opening. It so'd ehlelly St. I'aul , Union 1'nallle , Louisville & Nashville nnd some AtchUon. Tliu stocks were f.xlrly well taken by traders , who , how ever , later In the day were sellers be cause no general demuud appeared to take stocks olT tholr hands. Northern I'a- elllo was a strong feature of the market , the advance being accompanied by a report that the annual btitumont not yet published will show n surplus of $ I3)UOO above Interest charges ami dividends. Chicago , llurlliigton & Qnlney was also notably strong nnd inoru than regained In price. The dividend which wus taken oil' the market though tnoro active MI far this week than previously Is nut yet broad and a largo percentngoof dealings , es pecially on Monday and Tuesday , were duo to covering of shorts. Klnco then the volume of transactions has been smaller. The publlo having been attracted to the market by the spurt In prices and on any marked recessions , there will bo good buying nil around , The market closed comparatively stubborn with a komowhnt weak undertone. ClllCAno , Aug. V'O. Kennot Hopkins k Co. . to 8. A. MoWliortor : lletter eablui made a ( strong opening , and nt no tliuo today hut wheat said us low an It closed yesterday. The clearances at Atlantic ports were the largest of tliu NOIUOU. wliioli had a stliuulittlujf effect , but the most lunuoiitlnt news wns bail weather In England. ' ; TJio harvest thorp Is just beginning , nml If ruins continue the I.IIR- llsli market * will.i vulvanco rapidly , nn they aio particularly smuntivo to weather condition * 49 nt tills jonion. Tlio situation appeals to bo growing rather worse abroad nnd there lias been good foreign buying of wheat In * , consequence.

CuloiilutioMH on the 1'roiluots of Five Western States. Phllartolphla Press : Ono week ngo tbe Press gave some estimates of the probnblo crops in Kansas , Minnesota , and the two Da- kotns , and their estimated money value. Tno time which has passed since then has not only tended to confirm tne calculations then made , but to make the prospect brighter oven than it was pictured. The secretary of the Kansas state board of agriculture stated that the surplus products of his state would be worth this year ovor$93,000UOO. But accord ing to the Topeka Capital tlm is an underes timate. That paper says : The enormous uoru crop of 1880 (274,000,000 ( bushels , crown on 0.8 million acres ) wus worth less tb.au S5'J,000,000. This year's crop (170,000,000 ( bushels , grown on fi.3 million acres ) will bo worth about WJ.OOO.OOO at the lowest estimate. The wheat in 18S9 wns 85- 320,000 bushels , wortti $ -0,000.000. This year wo will liavo at lcust.r > .r > ,000,000 bushels , worth HO.000,000. The oats In ISS'J ' was 48,000,000 bushels , worth $7iiOOOUO. This year the oats will bo a'J.OOO ' 000 bushels , tbe acrengo boinp 100,000 loss than m 1SSU , worth ? S,0)0,000. ( ) In ISS'J ' , tbo best crop year In the history ot the state both in yield and value , therefore , the three staples were worth $30.000,000 ; whereas this year they will bo wortu flOO- 000,000 , nn increase of 25 per cent. This is the estimated return from three staples only , to which must bo added at least $10,000,000 that the bay , stock , dairy nnd ether products will bo worth. From this gross product about $35,000,003 worth will liavo tc bo deducted for homo consumption and seedinp , Icitving about $105,000,000 in products that Kansas will have for sale. The trustworthy reports constantly coming in to the St. Paul Pionoer-Press bavo com pelled Unit , pnpor to rovlso its estimate of the crops of Minnesota and the two Dakota ? made n week : igo. It calculated tlion that the press products of these tbreo states would bo worth $191,200,000 , but it now con structs the followlmr table ns to tbo quality and cash value of their crops : llusliols.

It docs not , however , include tbo oturns from live stock , which is an Impor tant Item in the farm products of those three states. Hero is an estimated crop yield in Minnesota , tbo Dnkotas nml Kansas of $1110- 1)00 ) 000 , of which at least $250,000,000 worth will bo for sale. But these are only samples of what the northwest will produce this year. Between Kansas nml tlio Unkotns lies another state- Nebraska tbo crops of which will bo as phenomenal as any state In that neighbor hood , TDK OMAHA Bui : gives the following vlows of a woll-informod correspondent : In general 1 have never seen a season when the matured crops In small grains showed up so well In a largo area of country ns they do throughout eastern Nobrnskn , ami the pros pects for u prodigious corn onw were never so gonnral or so uniformly Jlattorinp. Ami it is magnificent. In quantity , quality und marnut value it Is undoubtedly without prece dent. Snmo fields of oats , for Instance , have a yield of 100 bushels to the aero , 't'hoso small grains , oats ami ( lux particularly , seem to bo larger , sounder ami better In tbo conn- ties lying west of the first Ilfty or sixty miles , which country was almost wholly without a crop last year. Nebraska Is essentially a corn producing state , and thU year It is expected to yield 100,000,000 , bushels , a crop grouter by II- 000,000 than It ever raised before , and worth nt homo $ < U,000,000 , or . 'I.OOO.OOO tnoro than nnv previous corn crop has sold for. Besides com Nebraska will rniso 20- 000,000 bushels of wheat , the largest oat crop In nor history , nml her llvo stool : product will bo the greatest knotvn. Tneso five states , occupying n broad belt of country from the southern border of Kansas to the northern line of the Unltod Lilatos , will hnvo moro than $ . ' MX)0oOO ) , ( ) worth of crops to Uispo-ifl of , and they will tliul u ready market for it all. If Senator Pefl'or nml the other doleful npostlos of calamity can extract unv com/ort / from these facts they are welcome - como to It. JOHN A. JlrSUAM ! .
