CHICAGO , May 21. Wheat climbed
today nnd retained ' , ic advance at the close.
Frost rumors ht homo and reports of crop
damage abroad , with buying by shorts , were
thu bull features. Utilizing and strike
riots caused a drop from thu top figures.
Corn closed % c lower , oats ViC higher and
provisions at a slight advance.
Wheat opened at a slight decline , but soon
lold up with a slight reaction of ' ,4c , eased
off from V4c to % c and rallied again slightly
it the close. Operators evidently went homo
"short , " nnd the market acted as If very
much oversold. Had crop reports were nu
merous , and the principal sellers on yester
day's break were the chief buyers today.
A feature was the buying for St. Louis nnd
southwestern account , many large "short"
lines being covered. A good many outside buy
ing orders were In and there was very lltlle
for Halo until 1C advance had been scored ,
when the early buyers realized and prices
receded some. The strength In continental
tables was a "bullish" factor , as also were
advices from the outride , damage reports
being ( | ulte numerous. The strlko riots aided
In the late decline , but moro buying followed
and the market closed steady.
In corn there was a fair business , and the
market was ( julte active at times. Opening
trades were at from % c to ttc loss , but KOOH
sold up % c , rcaclcd about % c , ruled steady ,
changing some and closed as staled. The
temper of the local crowd was Inclined to be
"bullish. " The I'rlco Current's summary
was a llttlo "bullish , " and wheat stronger ,
both of which helped the price , but the mar
ket weakened with the late decline In wheat ,
losing Its early advance.
Oats were active- and firmer. Good buying
for July early carried prices up % c , while
the other months advanced from % c to 'Ac.
Good selling on the advance coupled wilh
the decline In wheat created weakness , and
prices receded to the opening figures , and
ths close was quiet.
Some strength wns developed early in pro
visions on higher prices for live hogs at the
yards and itho advance In wheat. Moro
business wns transaclcd llian on any one day
for a month past on some covering by
"shorts" and fair buying by the local oper
ators , the packers selling. There was tem
porary weakness later on , the market de
clining to a moderate extent tor pork and
then reacting on renewed support. Shortly
before Ihe close of the session pork again
sold off to n moderate extent and closed
easy , with lard and ribs steady. Compared
with last night July pork Is 2'/&c higher ,
July lard 2V c higher and July ribs un
changed.
Freights were steady at I'/iC for corn and
I'/io for oals lo IJuffalo nnd yic for corn lo
Kingston.

linprovoinent In Speculntlvo Values Made
AVcilnusdtiy AVas Lost Yustorday.
NEW YORK. May 21. The Improvement
in speculative values inarto yesterday was In
a great measure lost today , and the stock
market was unsettled and to some extent
feverish. There was little left of that con-
fldenco In the Immediate future and In Ihe
betterment of the situation as regards the
great railway properties which was so prom
inent a feuuro of yesterday's speculation ,
One favorable Indication was the sllghlly
easier lone of the sterling exchange market ,
which led to a belief that the _ gold exports on
Saturday would bo less than had been an
ticipated , and would exceed ? 2,000,000 , but
this was not much , If any , ol a factor In
the stock market. The things which did
affect the shares speculation were the publi
cation of railroad reports showing continued
decreased earnings , the announcement that
the coal strike was sllll far from ended , the
apparent uncertainly as lo the prospects of
the tariff bill and the fact that railroad
managers tn session at Chicago had not ar
rived at any basis of settlement on the
question ot rates.
It was a day qn which the bear sentiment
was uppermost , and the shorts look ad
vantage of the pervading gloom to hammer
the market In the hope of bringing out long
Block. Evidences were not wanting of liqui
dation tn Eonio of the loading properties ,
nolably Sugar , In which some Washlnglon
accounts was closed oul. Darlington &
Qulncy was also sold by Moston houses and
SI. Paul by Chicago. In the morning Lon
don was In Iho market for St. Paul , Louis
ville & Nashville and tn small amounts of
Now York Central , and later In the day sold
both New York Central and St. Paul. The
market opened llrm at a fractional advance
on yesterday's quotations , Heading , which
waj % per cent lower , being the only excep
tion. Kor fully threo-qunrlers of an hour
Ihe Irend of prices was upward , except for
Sugar , which , after the opening rise , reacted
a fraction , but quickly rallied a nil established
a higher level , Missouri Paclllc being also
prominent In the advance , Reforo 11 o'clock
Sugar hud lot the entire gain , carrying the
rest of the market down a fracllon , Includ
ing New York Central , The speculation was
heavy until near noon , when a fractional
recovery took place In the general list nnd
a rise of 2 per cent In American Tobacco ,
the greater part .of which was subsequently
lust. Soon after midday the buying move
ment spent Its force , anil the market again
took a downward course , thn declining ten
dency continuing until near 2 o'clock , when
another recovery of a fraction occurred ,
promptly followed by a reaction.
In the early part of the last halt hour
a sharp up turn was made , In which the
Cordage shares and Tobacco preferred were
the most prominent. So mo shares did not
participate | n thli advance nnd recorded
losses of a fraction. Sugar was very erratic
In Its jnovemenls all day , opening at 103V4 ,
receding to 102 % , advancing to 104V& , then ,
after numerous Intermediate -fluctuations ,
breaking to 100 , closing ' 4 per cent above
the lowest point touched , at a decline of
21& per cent on the day. The preferred stock
rojo } i per cent and declined 1 % per cent.
The Evening Pout says ; So far tit a market
advance U founded on general and vaguu
belief In favorable future developments , U
ID bound to bo precarious. This maxim was
teslQtl fairly enough today , when Wall street
awoke rather suddenly to the fuct that the
passage of the tariff bill , the settlement ot
the coal * trlko nnd the adjustment of west
ern freight rates were quite ns much In the
nlr , dciipitu professional assurances , us they
were at Monday's opening. The result was a
very Irregular movement , wlllt many slocks ,
however , closing lower and n 4-polnt lircnk
In Sugar certificates from the day's highest
level.

, May 24.
So far this week , compared with Inst , re
ceipts show nil Increase of 700 cattle , 4,300
hogs nml 2,200 sheep.
The supply of cattle was comparatively
light , about the Mine as on last Thursday ,
ami the general character of the offerings
was about the sntnu as It has been for two
or three days past. Sellers found conditions
somewhat more favorable and the market
was In very fair shape. There was not much
of a shipping demand , there never Is on
Thursday , but favorable reports from the
east anil the limited offerings Improved the
demand from the dressed beef men and trade
ruled active , with prices steady to a shade1
firmer all around. Good fat light steers
were the readiest sellers , but common light
stuff was slow , on account of the slack In
quiry for feeders. Heavy cattle sold fully as
well as on yesterday , and the general mar
ket was lively and llrm , the supply chang
ing hands In very good season.
Cows and mixed stock sold freely and at
fully steady prices. There were only five or
six loads on sale and the demand was active
and strong. Veal calves were In brisk re
quest at ttronger prices , but heavy stock
and yearlings ruled dull. The market for
rouRh gtouk was tolerably active and gen
erally , unchanged. .
In stackers and feeders business was fairly
brisk at the recent decline , although yard
traders did most of the buying , the country
demand being still very slack. Sales were
at from $2.55 to $ .1.45 for common to very
good stock , with most of the trading at from
$2.75 to $ Ii.L'5. Representative sales

HOGS There was a let up In receipts
topay , although compared with a week ago
there was a slight increase , and the four
days' receipts are 3,500 heavier than for the
'Dame period last week. The general quality
of the receipts was hardly as good as on
the three preceding days. Although reports
from the east were generally favorable , the
ample receipts had a tendency to make
buyers Indifferent and the market was slow
In opening , and early sales were largely at
around $4 , GO , with quite a few of the com ;
moner loads at ? 4EO and $4.55 , and choice
block bringing $4.G2& and $4C5. Good ship
ping orders Improved the situation before
very long and trading became more active ,
with $4.G5 the popular price , and some of the
best heavy and butcher weight loads selling
at $4.G7Iand $1.70. The close was aetlvo
and slrong at the high point of the day ,
the middle of the forenoon finding the pens
empty. Trading was largely at $4,60 and
$4.G5 today , or on an average a dime higher
than Wednesday , when $4,50 and $4.56t
bought the bulk of the offerings , and not
more than a nickel lower than a week ago
today , the bulk of the hogs selling on lust
Thursday at from $4.65 to ? 4.70. Represen

Was lloguii Ypntvrilny Ulniiico for
nn Omaha .Mint Oienln | the
I'rnltiutlon. .
Onmliit onti now boast of belnn the flm !
city went of riilfitKo to construct bulhltii
on the romtmriitlvuly new method which
htiH iniido It possible to put up Ntnictun' *
of fourtpon ur more slorlca In helRht. Tltl.i
ImllilliiK' is liolnit crootcd by the rnxtoti &
Vli't-llnir Iron work * on their properly nt
Sovunlfi'iilli Htrpt't nnd Ihe rnltroutl truck.4
nnd will be occupied by thorn. The old
method of hulldiiiK consisted In the ron-
Htniftlon of heavy outside wnlln of milll-
clont strength lu carry the welRht of the
building , aided , of course , by Intel lot- sup
ports. The Kront proKrofa niudo In recent
yonI-M In the ninnufacluro of steel and Iron
hna made It posslblo to change this method
entirely , doing nwny with the mnHHlvu out-
sldo wnllx. which In high bnlldliiKH were
very e.xpeiiMlve , benldcs tailing up u good
deal of vnluablo space.
AH a representative of the latest method *
of construction , nnd the only one of the
kind In Omalm , n description of thin build
ing limy be of general Interest. The build-
Intr In question covers l.lvUW feet of ground
and IM live stories In height above the high
basement. Starling with n solid founda
tion of brick , llio Iron and slcol framework
has been erected to the full height of the
live xtorlPH without the sign of an outside-
supporting wall. Around the outside ami
through the center of the bulldltiK there are.
heavy cuHtlrun columns securely bolted end
on end and luiuilng from the foundation to
the top of the building. Connecting these ;
upright supports nnd securely fastened to
lliem itre heavy Mi-el girders. These In
their tarn are etossed by the steel Moor
beams , whloh are riveted In place. Kvery
pail of Ihe Rrent framework Is so secured
by bolts and rivets Hint It Is Impossible fur
It to move from HH pluee. The ntreiigth of
Ibis met hud of construction has been provei >
by the heavy winds of the past two weeks ,
which have blown against the untlnlsheil
framework wlthonl any appreciable effect.
The weight which every piece of Iron or
sleel will have to carry Is llgured with ex
actness nnd tnnilo proportionately strong.
The work of laying up the outside brlelc
walls was commenced yesterday , and It IH
In this connection lhal much of the Interent
centers. Although live stories In height , the
walls will be- only twelve Inches In thlek-
ness. AH might be assumed , they will add
nothing to the Mtrcnglh of the building , but
are Intended only to enclose the Htrueliiru.
Running around Iho building al each Moor
llier are heavy slecl girders , and It Is upon
these that the walls rest. The walls be
tween each door are tlnm Independent and
the brick masons could Hist as well stall
tit the llfth floor , and enclose Hint llrst , nnd
work down , as to stnrl with the llrst HOOP
and go up. The walls enclosing any ono
story could bo removed wlllionl disturbing
the walls cither above or below.
The Interior parllllons will be of llre-
proof brick and It looks now as If an
Omaha manufacturer , K. .1. RefreKler ,
would secure the contract for makln , ; thin
material. His firebrick arc no v under
going a most severe lesl , Hint of being-
placed under heavy machinery vhcru it IH
subjcel to constant vibration.
The first floor will be occupied by the com
pany for n machine shop ; the second
floor as a finishing room for light castings
and ornamental work ; the third floor for
a wood working and pattern room , and the
two upper floors for the slorage ot pat-
lerns. This will bo Hie only lire proof
building usc-d for this purpose in tlio coun
try , and will give Omaha a larger and
more complete plant of the kind than even
Chicago can show.
It might be added that the general pub
lic doe's not realize how much cheaper
llreproof buildings can be constructed than
was the case a few years ago , and builders
predict lliat when this Is more fully
tealizcd there will be fewer lire traps coii-
slrucled. Some Idea of the decline In tno
cost of building may be gained from the
fact that steel beams costing $38 per ton
In .Oinnhn at the present lime were worth
$72. per ton two nnd a half years ago.
I'rnlt Auction. -t
This afternoon the Omaha Fruit Auotlon
company will hold their first sale nl llielr
(
rooms , 012-311 Jones slreet. The offerings
for the first sale will be limited to n car
of cherries , Hint being Ihe only kind of
California summer fruit on the market at
this season.
The auction method of disposing of fruit
is of rather recent growth , but It has found
HUi-h favor In the eyes of the California
growers and shippers that the fruit men
of the city decided to introduce. It here.
Instead of Ihe receiver of a car of fill t
running- about from house lo house trying-
lo dispose of his fruit , It "will be taken
to the auclion house , whe.ro all buyers
can assemble , inspect the fruit and bid
on It In open auction. The different whole
sale houses thai have orders for fruit from
country merchants and the brokers who
have orders from jobbers In olher cllles
can buy enough to llll their orders.
In cities where this method 1ms been
tried It has worked very satlsfactoilly
holh for Iho local buyers and sellers and
for the California shippers. Omaha Is al
ready recognized a one of the best fruit
markets in the west and It is predicted
by those in the business thai Ibis inovn
will sllll further Improve the market.
Freight i ales arc such Hint Omaha , can
reach all polntH east In Iowa ns far as
this Mississippi liver and Jobbers here are
figuring that they can handle the trade 111
that stale wlllionl any doubt. They not
only have the advantage over Chicago In
point of rates , but they can deliver fruits
at the Mississippi river a day in advance
of Chicago , thus Insuring Its arrival al Iho
point of desllnallon In better condition.
