THK OMAHA DAILY HKR : TtrRSDAY , COJ1JIEBCIAL AND FINANCIAL All the Lending Markets Fluctuated Very Wildly Yesterday , WHEAT AT THE START vWAS WEAKER J'rliiclpul UcnrUli tnllurnrc * In tlint Cereal MYro llioVnk t'nlilcn mill Iti-porU of Itiiln Throughout thu Western StiUtK. CHICAGO , April 9. Th-in welo Revere pnough fluctuations In all the leading mar kets tod.iy . to satisfy the craving of the most rcstlcoa scalper. So far as wheat Is concerned the ultimate result of consider- nblo excitement and a heavy business was ' . * c Improvement In the price as compared with Saturday's values. Corn followed v.-hcat to some extent , but was Independently unstained by small receipts uml n fair ex port Inquiry. Provisions were very strong mill shorts were very nervous. Pork closed 47 > ,4c higher and lard anil ribs arc 25c higher. Wheat at the start was weaker and the market opened with from > ,4c to lie loss , the weak cables and reports of rain being the principal bearish Influences. Offerings were not very free at the decline , the trade not caring to sell short much In the face of the government report tomorrow , mid the demand Improved , prices advancing from lc to lc , cased % c off , changed name and closed Vic higher for May and Vic higher for July. The selling today was by the private wire concerns on reports of rain In Kansas , advices from Parsons , Ol.ithe , Topeka and Wichita reporting rains. The weather map showed colder conditions In the west , northwest and southwest , n little snow In Colorado and heavy rains In Missouri , Illinois and the Missouri river valley as far north as Omaha. Oood buying Blarted early , which caused a sharp rally. Many of the local operators , while feeling quite bullish , think the market hoic out of line with other markets. New York Is within a few cents of the prices ruling here. The export clearances were mnuller mid not favorable for a hull market. Corn offerings were rather limited , espe cially around the opening , while the demand was good. The shipping Intcrrsts were In clined to purchase and In fact led the buy ing , the selling being scattered. Opening trades were at Saturday's final figures and gradually worked up Ti e , eased off ' c , ruled ( inner and closed with a gain of from % c to % c. The oats market was quite overrun with buying orders during the greater part of the session and only a limited number of tellers , considerable strength was devel oped. , Provisions were strong and higher. Those who had sold short on Saturday were made uneasy by the small run of hogs to start with. The receipts were only about 25,000 Instead of 31,000 as had been expected , and when the nervous shorts sought to buy they could discover very few who were willing to sell to them. The latest trades were at or near the best prices of the day. Pork Is from 45c to 47V c higher ; lard from 25o to 27'/ic up and ribs , 2'c. Estimated receipts tomorrow : Wheat , r > ii cars ; corn , 260 cars ; oats , 1G3 cars ; hogs , 20,000 head. The leading futures ranged ns follows : Articles.

AVcck Opened In Securities with a Very I'lrni Tone. NEW YORK , April 9. The week opened on the Stock exchange with a firm tone to the speculation nnd In most cases tlio first prices mode were a fraction above tlio closing figures of Saturday. During the morning the trading was fairly active , and except for some of the specialties , the mar ket was steady to strong. During the after noon the volume of business was light and the dealings were Irregular , the market closing dull , but fairly steady with a ma jority of the shares traded in showing an. avance on the day's transactions. Chicago Gas was most prominent in the dealings and was sold sharply at tho. opening on a report that the decision of the attorney general of Illinois In the quo warranto pro ceedings would be against the company. After a decline of % per cent , supporting orders were received , resulting In a recovery of % per cent , followed by a reaction of \ & per cent and a rally of H per cent , mak ing a net loss of % per cent. Sugar wns second In point of activity. Opening % per cent higher , it sold up 1 % per cent additional on purchase Induced by a bollef that probably the lai'Ift bill may not become H law , on which contingency the sugar company would make largo profits. A goodly proportion of tlio buying is said to have been for Insiders. Later In the day realizations and a small bear raid caused a reaction of % per cent , the close being at a gain on the day of % per cent. The grangers were only moderately active , advancing a fraction In the morning and reacting during the afternoon , Uurllngton showing a decline at the close of % per cent. Hock Island ' ,4 per cent , Northwestern unchanged for the common nnd 1 per cent higher for the preferred , and St. Paul made a gain of % per cent and St. I'aul preferred % per cent. Thcro was good buying on lUchinond Terminal third assessment paid , the stock advancing % per cent and closing at the highest point touched. The purchases wore Induced by reports that the reorgan ization of the company would shortly be completed. The Evening Post says : The noteworthy general movement of prices lately begun continued today In the other markets and hafl as before Its duo Influence on stocks. Wltc.it was strong In spite of the heavy speculative realizing , and silver bullion rallied again In London In the direction of last week's highest figure. liy all ac counts tlio oriental demand continues heavy , while the supply from transatlantic ports barely Increases. A rather striking inci dent of the last month or two has been the shipment of gold from India and China. London's receipts of this metal from China In February and March were -184,000 and 298,000 en mo from .India in March alono. In the last two weeks , however , since tlio breaking of the Ilombay panic , a moderate return movement of gold to India has begun.

Tlio cattle market WHS nearly ns much of n surprint ) ns the receipts wore. Prices ruled from lOc to lfic higher than Saturday , and It seldom that 2,000 cattle change hands quicker than they did today. On account of the favorable tone to eastern advices shipping and speculative buyers were In the saddle early and ready for business. Liberal outside orders and the smallncss of the supply tnado the dressed beet men anxious , and taken altogether sellers found conditions very much to their liking. The general quality of the cattle offered was very fair , but there were no strictly choice beeves here. Oood 1,200 to 1,100-11) ) beeves sold at from $3.70 up to $1.15 , and fair to good 1,000 to l.lfiO-lb steers sold readily at from $3.DO to $3.7C. Fair to poor stuff and odds and ends went at from $ .1.40 down , It was a good , strong , active , healthy market from start to finish and by 10 o'clock business was practically over. The same activity characterized the trade In butchers' and cnnncrs' stock , but there was no quotable advance In prices. Offer ings Included les than a do/.en loads , and buyers soon picked them upTho market for veal calves was llrm and for rough stock of all kinds active and stronger. Stockers and feeders were In good demand and higher. The fresh supply was light and the pens were by no means crowded with stale cattle.

One very choice butcher weight load brought $1.90 , but aside from this It was practically a J 1.80 and ft.85 market , everything selling within that range , buyers paying no attention to weight and apparently not n great dnal to quality. The feeling on all sides was decidedly bullish throughout and the fcharp advance In pro visions caused a strong , active close.
