6 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEtl HURSDAY , AUGUST 21 , 1803. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Spread Between Septsmbor nml December Wheat Narrowing Considerably. FAVORABLE CABLE ADVICES A FACTOR Local Kccelptn Wor Smnll unil There WMI Much Liquidation bjr Wcnry Long * Crop Will Itceln to Move noon. CUICAOO , AUK. 23. The principal fc-nturo In whom today , beiMos a dcclltlo of Jfu In lu iirlco , was the narrowing of tno spread between September nml December from 7fo tlown to 7J. There hud been nn Im pression abroad that December wheat would commaml a premium of 10o per b\i. \ under which numerous spreads have boon mailo m anticipation. When a wuakenliiB In the premium began to threaten tlio spreaders today they nrndo haste to reverse their trades and a Jfc reduction in tlio premium wns the result. Corn was weak on antici pated heavier receipts and closed J c under last nlRht's quotations. There was no In terest In provisions. The weakness In wheat was attributed to very small clearances , and not altogether favorable cable advices. There was also omo liquidation by weary longs and alto gether a dull and heavy fooling prevailed. lx > cal receipts are small , but In the northwest - west they are larger , with Indications that the now crop will soon commence to move. The reasons given for the narrowing of the premium between September and December arc that there Is moro money being placed to carry the wheafaud the statement by some of tlio bankers that there will be no illlllculty In carrying September deliveries to Decem ber , and the buying of shorts for September and putting It out again for December. The Department of Agriculture reported that the crop of India was 00,000,000 bu. larger than last ye.ir. The opening was from > fo to J < c lower than yesterday's closing , eased nit nnothcr 'fi'e and then advanced from J o to S e for September and 1'fo ' for the Decem ber' futures , held steady , and the closing was from , ' f to 'fo ' from the bottom. Corn was fairly steady until the estimated receipts for tomorrow were made. These wer suniciently over tlio recent avenigo to have considerable effect upon a market which stood in need of something to support In oats the demand was light , though prices declined from > c to J c. The close was weak at nearly tlio lowest point , with a not loss of from Jfc to J e. Under the Influence of the receipts of 40- 000 hogs at tlio yards the provision trade dragged. Later in the session Armour put brokers in the market to bid for pork and ribs and the decline was soon ovcivomo by the support thus afforded It. Lard did not appear to appeal to Mr. Armour's sympa thies. Compared with last night , pork was up 25o and ribs 5c. Lard is lli' e lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat , 100 carscorn ; , 4G5 cars ; oats , 200 cars ; hogs , 80,000 head.

This , following Tuesday's ' big run , and making for the two days over 18,000 hogs , a thing ; that has very rarely happened lu August , caused a big drop In prices. Chicago had about 40,000 fresh hogs on sale and the marltot was bad , so that although there was a very active shipping inquiry , no less than eleven ship pers being on the market for supplies , sellers had to submit to a reduction of from 80c to 3'Ju in prices for all grades. Local houses , especially packers , were free buyers at tno decline , the Omaha nnd Cudahy houses taking over 5,300 hogs. Buyers all , paid a stiff premium lor light and light mixed , hogs , sales being all the way from : § p up to S.V.iO , although nearly all the hogs selling at $5 and over were more or less sorted , that is , from one to half a dozen ro.ugh or heavy hogs wore thrown out. Hca\\y and mixed packing grades sold largely at 54.75 and $ -1.80 , with food mixed heavies lp ) to 1.90 and common and throwouts at .from $4.40 to $4.70. There was little change lu.tho .market throughout , although the close , whs perhaps the weakest point. The bulk of the hogs ( practically everything changed , hands ) sold at from $4.75 to 5-1.90 , as against ? o to $5.30 Tuesday and $5 to $5.80 ono/wpck ago today.

Opinions of Western Governors on the I/it < Mt Hiirebritlneil Proposition. NEW YORK , Aug. 23. This morning's World publishes opinions from a num ber of western governors upon the prop osition of a commercial division of the United States. The World telegraphed to each of the governors these questions : What do you think of the petition of the Kaiibiia olliciuls for a commercial di vision between the west and the east ? What would bo the result of the pro posed convention of governors to con' aider this ? Governors Stone ol Missouri , Lowoll- ing of Kansas and Ponnoyer of Oregon boldly favor the convention. The others heard from oppose it. Governor Levelling suggests that if free coinage fails , the Mexico silver dollar lar bo made a full legal tender. Gover nor MoGruw of Washington says any man who proposes aeccoeaion of states is as much of a traitor to the llag of freedom today as ho was in 1801. Gov ernor Nelson of Minnesota expresses the same sentiment. Governors Colcord of Nevada and Crounso of Nebraska have no confidence or sympathy in thosuhemo. Governor Boies of Iowa says it is unwise and does not , think any considerable number of governors would attend such a convention. Quartet singsCourtland , beach tonight. CluiUtrn'x Uncord in Europe.
