THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt TIIJJJtSDAY , DECEMBER 12 , 1805. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL \7hoat Market Opened Very Dull at a Fractional Decline , OATS' ' MAY RECORD AGAIN BROKEN Corn \\'nn Wrnk mul IlimlnrHn'nn mi Ace-mint InrK ' roiiKlit DIMVII 1'rlci-M. CHICAGO. Dec. 11. Wheat declined % today , making lc loss In two days. Th market opened very dull and r thcr weak nt ix decline of from Mo to % c. The nb nonce of orders from outsldo was very no tlccablc. For an hour or BO the tondencj was to work up a little , nnd May did re cover from ClHo nnd GI'Jc nt the opening to C2c bid , but before 12 o'clock thpre wcr fellcra nt GUfc. The weakness was nn ex presslon of the conviction which many o the local operators hove that by sticking doftttodiy to the short sldo as long as thcr Is no great demand for the grade of whca which would bo surrendered In satlsfactlo of n speculative contract they would win out. Speculation upon prospective scarclt they are Ignoring. The government crop report did not fall of Its usual result o being EUccceded by n bearish day , nltboup U gave the condition of wheat nt El , a ngnlnst 89 on December 1. 1831. Huslncs continued dull throughout the entire PCS slon nnd the price recovered to fil jc from the bottom of the day's decline , which wa from Clc to 01c. Corn was weak and business was largel on nccount. The receipts were only mod crate nt 300 cars , but tomorrow's Inspectlot returns are expected to comprise 451 cnrs Prices kept within n share or two of yes terdny's closing figures. In onts the record for May was again broken. The offerings were quite urgent chlclly from longs. May opened % c off , n llc. ! and ranged between 19 > ic nnd 20c closing nt the bottom figures , llccelpt were 11 cnrs more than cxnectrd. Hog receipts hero numbered 49,000 heai nnd the run nt outside packing places wn also henvy. That settled the direction o the price for the day , and another new break In th ? season's low prlco record oc currcd. January pork lost 15c and May 12Hc I-nrd for both months Is Cc lower , nnd rib arc down EC for January and 7Hc for May Puckers sold through commission house nnd some buying on the decline was 01 foreign nccount.

Chief of HIP SInrUct AVnn UN Irrt-Kiilnrlty. NEW YORK. Dec. II. The chief feature of today's stock market was Irregularity. The vol ition of business was fair , measured by recent averages , nnd the Industrials as usual played the stnr parts. The market opened dull nnd Ir regular , with but few decided changes In cither direction resulting In the Initial dealings. The trading soon assumed n decided tone , nnd on comparatively light trnnn.ittlons Ihe entire list moved upn'nrd , handsome gains being made In the Industrial group. Consolidated Gns m.ulc n further Jump of f. per cent to IS ! ) , Leather pre ferred , Tdtncco common nnd preferred advanced 2 > % per cent , nnd the other shares fractions. Near the end of the first hour the traders made a drive against the market , and realizing sales helped them In their ffforts , The Industrials bore the brunt of the attacks , but the slocks of Ihn rrcelveishlp rallrnnds. Including Ihe AtchIson - Ison , IlurlUigton nnd Union Paclllc , nlwi declined sharply , owing to liquidation by holders anxious tj evade HIP payment of the heavy assessments Involved In the respective plani of reorganization. Pacific Mall caused something of n sensitlon by dropping nearly 2 per cent In the face of the current pxp ctatlon that thp Ion ? talked of agree ment between that company nnd the Panama railroad would be deilnltely concluded within a few days al Ihe latest. Thp decline was cause I by HIP publlcallon of nn Interview with counsel far ono f thp companies , who was made to say that a disagreement was more likely than an agreement. The accuracy of the Interview was afterward denied and the stock recovered nil but a small fraction of the IOM. The reactionary movement In the general market appeared to have spent Its force nrotind 1 p. m. , nnd In the sulueqtirnt dealings material recoveries In prices occuncd. The announcement of the engage ment uf JIIno > ) . < H In K"M for shipment tomorrow fell lint. The advance of nearly r ) iiiilnls in the past two days In the market pi Ice of Consolidated das caiitcj denial of the rumors of n probable consolidation of Ihe New York companies to be regarded nt very lamely technical In diameter. Olllclnl con firmation Is unobtainable , however. In the mid- afternoon trading a covering of phoits was largely responsible for sharp advances In Sugar , Tobacco , Pacific Mull , Tenne. sp Conl , Reading , Delcwanj & Hudson , Leather prefeired and Min neapolis fi SI. I-oiils second preferred. In the final denting * realization Jule.i caused n note worthy slump In Tobacco and leather preferred. The general market closed quiet nnd llrm In tone. The railway Irand market ruled firm nnd higher In the morning , but In HIP nfleinocn dealings prices were shaded nil atound , which Imparted an en y tone to the closing. The sales were | l.f > 6lMO. Thp Evening IVt's London financial cablegrnm Bays : The sultan's permission for the gunboats to enter the DOS- phorus pul up consols , but Iho nlher mar kets were lifeless nnd dull. Mines were Hat. The settlemcnl In these begins tomorrow. Flat ness of Italian nnd Spanish securities was also n fenlure. on the reverse of Ihe Italian troopi. After business hours II was announced that tha Scolch building strike had terminated. This may have a good effect tomorrow. Americans were dull , Union Paclllc wan Hat on the asses-t- menl leporl. Al Paris the bourse was dull , ulot-lnir weak , mainly on HIP decline In Italian and Spanish securities at llerlln. The markets WIMP dull.

While the run wns not large , there was nothing In the situation to encourage very active buying. The packers complain that the demand for beef is extremely llcht , the markets of the country bolng full of cheap poultry , mution nnd pork. The limited demand for the product linn mndo buyers nt all markets weak nnd Indifferent. There were some quite Rood beef steers here today that In ordinary times would have been attractive to buyers. The mar ket , however , was very slow and dull , not much If nny lower , but weak and unsatis factory. The buyers seemed to want a few cattlf , but the demand was not sulllclently urgent to put any life Into the trade. The market dragged along all day , but In the end closed strong under the Influence of more favorable reports from eastern mar- The cows and heifers on sale numbered twenty-flvo to thirty loads. The market was In about the same condition us the market on beef steers the demand fair but the trade slow and the feeling weak. Stockers were In liberal supply , there being quite n string of westerns , and a good many native stock cattle. Oood yearlings and light stackers were in demand , there being n few country buyers In , and the market on that kind of stuff was just about steady. The heavy cattle have not been moving oft very freely during the two day's past , and pome were carried over from yesterday In Ilrst hands. The condition of the market on fat cattle could hardly have other than a dlscouraplng effect upon heavy feeders. Still , the country keeps buying. Some warmed up cattle shipped Infer for beef sold to the feeders today , one bunch nt ? 3.0.j.
