r 6 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : 'Tl'KSDAV , AUGUST 21. IflW. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Grain Markota Etaitcd Weak Ycstcr'ay but Wound Up Finn. FEELING IN WHEAT WAS STRONGER Now York Wild Tinner nml Tlicrti Wn Drcrrntn on On-iin I'IIPHHIIO U lilch C'outitcrnctnil tlio U'cuUcr rone. CIIICAaO , AUR. 20. The grnlti markets Etnrttd weak today , but wound up flrni and With a nourish. Good demand In wheat and corn canted the strength In these markets and oats followed. Wheat closed with a Kaln of l'/4c ' for September. Corn closed lo higher and oats gilntil He. I'rovlslons flu- iihcd higher nil around. Wheat wag quite iictlvo within the cslnb llshed range of lc. The feeling displayed was etroneer. Initial transactions were at n Uo to Uc decline , at G.1c for September , end gradually advanced from % c to Ic , cased off Vic , rallied Ic , changed some , held steady and closed with September ut 65'Ac. ' The easier opening was duo to Rome extent to the action of corn , which opened oft several fractions , due to the large receipts of i,113 cars. New York , however , was ( Inner and there was a decrease on ocean passage , which counteracted the weaker tone , and , on free buying by the local crowd , the price advanced nnd was further helped later by the In- crcas ? In the vUlble supply being smaller than expected and the free acceptance. ? by the continent of offers from this side. Ca bles came In stronger and contitirntal advlcei were "bullish" In ton : , which helped advance prices. The weather In France was reported \vet nnd was nlso something of a factor. The moderately sharp upturn In corn also aided the upward tendency. New York was a iood ; buyer and the shorts , who sold freely Saturday , covered on the upturn today. Corn was weak nt the start , but soon firmed up. Local players were covering shorts and did not find sellers as plentiful as they expected. The country sent some more buying orders and both classes of buying were In active competition at times for very limited offerings. Crop reports were gen erally as bad and In some cases were worao than before. There was an active demand In the cash crowd for tbe earliest offerings to KO to store atJc per Imshel over the Sep tember price for No. 2 yellow and at Septem ber price for regular No. 2. September sold nt the opening at from G2c down to 62Vic. It rose to G-tV&c and closed at 53c. May began at from Glc to Glc , sold as high as DSVAo nnd closed at GS'/ic. ' The activity In the oats market did not amount to very much , but during the session quite a good business was transacted. Even with a decrease In the visible supply of cats of 1,789,000 bu. , the market ruled firmer , Influenced by corn. September opnecl Uo lower than It closed on Saturday , nt 29 0 , sold right up to 30c and closed nt 30V6c bid. There was n fair amount of trade done In the provision pit , but prices were higher from the start , differing In that respect from the grain markets. The markets stiffened ns the session progressed. The hog receipts were only SI,000 today , Instead of 31,000 , as had been estimated , and only 1G.OOO head Is tJtlmnted for tomorrow. January pork found buyers at the opening nt J13.4G , ns ngalnst $13.40 nt the close of Saturday , and ad vanced to nnd closed nt $13.60.

The poultry market might be quoted u little stronger , but aside from that the mar ket was steady nt S.iturdiiy'H prices.

During the last week money showed n slightly llrmer tendency , owing to the prospect of war loans , and unless n for- Hgn demand for gold arises no permanent Im provement can be hoped for. lluslness at the Stock exchange was livelier than for-u long time past. The settlement of the account nnd reallz- Ings to secure piollts checked the upward move ment to some extent , but even the announcement ut twu failures had little effect upon the buoy ancy of the muiketa. Public conlldenca Is being lestored and buyers will noon come for cheap American and other stocks. With Individual exceptions , filch as Oreek se curities , which were weak on dllllcilltles that have arisen In arriving nt n settlement with the credltois , the rise was general In all the nur- kels , more especially those for North nnd South American securities. The doubtful harvest pios- pect * here , duo to continued bad weather , are offset by the belief that the passage of the American tariff bill will quickly stimulate orders for merchandise uf all kind * from the United Stales , Canadian railway Keciirltlea followed the ad vance In American railroad bonds und Sugar , which were ready to rc/pand to uiiy rise In Wall street.

During the morning tlio trading was Irregular , but In the afternoon the tone was decidedly strong , run prices nt the close were at or near the besi of the dcy and \ & \ per cent higher as com pared with the fln.il sales of last Saturday , t.undon wns n small seller at the npnlng but later bought moderately. There was at times sales to realize the prollls of last week's rise , but there was also a renewa of the covering movement. Sugar led the market , both In buoyancy and activity , sell- Int ; upIV4 per cent to 114 % . and closing within % per cent of the highest ; the pre ferred gained 2 % per cent.

The bond market was Ir regular In the early session , but In the late trading considerable strength was developed , the market closing strong. The Evening Post says : More errors In the new tariff bill ns passed are being dis covered. It was said today at the custom house that through a mistake In punctuation Importations of all drugs are prohibited. The Intention was to stop the bringing In cf drugs and meJIclncs In abortion practice. The new bill In the revenue sections taxes playing cards and so If It becomes a law nothing can be sold without a revenue stump. Of these the treasury has none nnd It will take- several months to have them engraved and distributed throughout the country. The Kvcnlng Post says : A noteworthy feature In today's trading was the narrow fluctuations In the grangers , In view of the comparatively heavy volume of transactions. The range did not exceed one-half of 1 per cent. This * was construed as reflecting n support , which a moderate realizing move ment did not weaken. Those who took a broad view of the situation look for a slow , steady advance In values , accompanied by healthy reactions. The news affecting the market was In the main bullish.

Today's receipts consisted of about 2.20C cattle , 3,800 hogs and 1,730 sheep , as agalns 1,000 cuttle nnd 0,100 hogs on Monday o last week. H will be noted that the receipts of hog were the lightest for any day In a lorii time. The cattle , as will bo noted from tin representative sales , Were made up largcl > of westerns , which are coining forward quite rapidly at the present time. CATTL.K There wcrc not many good native beef steers on the market today , bill theie was quite a showing of western steers The weaker markets In the east nnd large supplies had a naturally depressing effect upon the TTiarket here and the trade was slou at a decline , amounting In many cases to lOc. A good deal of the advance made It the market last week was lost today. There were no native cattle good enough to brltif , $4 and the highest price paid was $3.90 The market on butchers' stock was also lower on the more common grades , though the best cows and heifers brought close to Saturday's prices. The market on stockers nnd feeders did not show any material change. The re ceipts are not very large and the demand Is limited. The general trade Is slow at very low prices.

The ship ping demand was light and advices from eastern markets unfavorable , which made the general trade slow. As to prices , the market was all of 5c lower and In some cases lOc lower.
