10 THE O tAHA DAILY JIEE : TUESDAY , AUGUST 30 , 1808. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Disappointing Boccipln and Decrease in Visi ble Supply Logo Advance in Wheat. GOOD SPECULATIVE BUSINESS IN CORN Corn I'ncliniiKoil to nn I > lKli < l > nf n. Cent IllRlur , Pork nuil Lnril L'n- l Hllix Arc l.'l > Ton Cento. CHICAGO , AUR. 29-12xpoctatlons of In creased receipts tomorrow , togethrr with a decrease In the visible supply , vilitro the opposite had been predicted , caused almost the complete loss of tin early advance In iwhcat today. Compared with Saturday night September left off l-SOUc higher and December pained HOS-Sc. Corn Is un changed to l-8c up. Oats unchanged. Pork nnd lard are unchanged and ribs rose T/j Wheat experienced n strong start because of disappointingly small receipts In the northwest and higher quotations from Liv erpool , although the latter were not unex pected In view of the advance on this Bldo Saturday. Minneapolis and Duluth received 582 cars , compared with 939 on the previous Monday nnd 512 on the corresponding day of last year. The visible supply Htatement showed 77,000 liu. Increase for the week , making the total 6,927,000 bu. A year ago the visible decreased 1,256,000 bu. nnd the total then was 15,473,000 bu. As a decrease had been i expected In today's statement the bulllsh- 7ICHS of the market received a partial cxtln- KUlshcr. People who needed September wheat nnd had found comsldarable dltllculty In buying were now enabled to have their wants supplied without shouting for the wheat , sellers being compelled to tnko a turn ut the shouting , The estimate that the carloads of wheat nt Chicago for tor jnorrow's Inspection would number 405 was mother blow to the bulls in the market. That In addition to the disappointment nbout the visible supply caused September to drop for a time all its early advance. 3Decembcr was relatively firmer and did not Iccllno moro than ' /4c , while September was losing Ic. December wan much moro largely dealt In thun September and hac most pro nouncedly become the active trading fu ture. September was difficult to buy when rwanled nnd hard to sell when that was con- nldered desirable. The total for the day nt nil primary western markets amounted to 1,281,000 bu. , compared with 1,412,000 bu. a year ago. The clearances from Atlantic ports for the day were smaller than of late , the total In wheat and -Hour being 191,000 tiu , September opened unchanged to Uc lilgher nt from R4c to C4Uc , but before much could be bought It was up to 64c utid from that worked gradually upward to ( we. It declined again to 54c , touching C3 7-8G4o for n moment and was Crt l-SiJJ64t4c nt the liell tap. December startled l-S3-Sc up at Cl iji62c , advanced to G2 8-8Q62'/4c nnd re- 11 e ted to Gl 7-S@C2c , which was its final tradIng - Ing price. A good speculative business was done In corn and In the main the market was Btrong. The bone of contention was the condition of the growing crop , upon which HUbjoct there was a wide djfterence of opin ion. The wheat market Influenced corn when It was advanced nnd correspondingly tlepressed the latter when 1t was declining. September opened unchanged to 1-So lower nt 29 7-S330c ! , advanced to 30 l-SQSOUo and flosed ut 30 l-8c , Kellers. There was llttlo done In oats , except changing from September to December and from September to May. The bulk of chang ing from September to December was made wen and September and May changed nt Jrom 2o to 2 l-8o premium for the latter month. September opened 1-Sc lower nt 3994C , rose to 20 l-8c and reacted to 19 7-So nt the close. Moderate buying by English houses held provisions firm , l ard and Hbs were com paratively stronger than pork. September holdings have been transferred or sold nnd the trade was no longer under the Intlu- once of operations by people who had no use for provisions on delivery day , now close nt hand. September pork opened 2 o down nt $ S.82i and sold up to $8.85. September lard started unchanged to 2Uc lower nt K.1V8&-W6. declined to $3.07 05.10 , then firmed up to $5.17' nt the close.

STOCKS AND IJOXDS. PrlceH of Stockn Break Hliarply nnil Arc Depressed TlironKhont. NEW YORK , Aug. 29-PrIces of stocks broke sharply today and showed depression throughout. The llrst rally showed consid erable vigor , but later In the day the re cuperative powers of the market became feebler nnd the close was barely steady nt slightly above the lowest. Net losses ranged from 1 to 2 per cent In leading stocks. There was a growing disposition to realize profits both by professional trad- era and by outside holders. The latter was Hhowrv by the steady stream of selling or ders that came from the commission houses today. Professional traders quite generally tcok the side of the market and beam sold with growing confidence , the demand at the close being light , even at the substan tial reduction of prices. There Is evidently . a largo growth of the powerful trading ele ment which has lightened Its holding of stocks ; and Is anxious for lower prices to buy . back again. There was palpable manipulation at the opening to fix a low level for prices. In some of the leading stocks I the opening was about the lowest of . the day. Others held quite firmly for the rest of the day's session , but eventually yielded to the persistent demonstration of the ' bears In other stocks. Buying for London - don ' account was a distinctive factor In the llrmness In a number of International fa vorites , notably Southern preferred , Erie first preferred , Denver preferred and Nor folk & Western preferred. There was a steady absorption of stocks at the decline , which was specially marked In Burlington and St. Paul. This seemed to bo the re sult of buying orders below the level of the market for traders' account as well as from commission houses. The same thing was evident In the Pacific and other stocks here nnd there throughout the list. The tendency to sell was undoubtedly duo to the prospects of tight money. The mini mum sale for call loans was held at 2 per cent and 3 per cent was paid In some cases. In sympathy with the money market nnd with the Increasing supply of grain and cotton bills , actual rates for sterling ex change declined > 4o on the pound. The London money market was marked up a sharp fraction today and there was buying of gold in the open market there said to be for shipment to New York. No en- Kngoment wan announced , however , In Wall ntreet. Other departments of the money market showed hardening tendency , but there was no tendency In the quotations. Asldo from the conditions In the money irmrlt there was nothing to account for the day's decline. The higher rates for money caused a de pression In the bond market even moro than In stocks. Some of the speculatlves that have been recent favorites showed marked reaction and heaviness predomi nated in oil Issues. Total sales , $3,725,000. United States 5s declined 1-8 per cent In the bid prices nnd on actual transaction. The new 4s , coupons , sold at 126 % . a decline of H per cent , but the closing bids , except for the 3s , were unchanged. The Evening Post's London financial ca blegram says : The settlement here shows an Increased activity , notably In Amerl- casn , but money Is so plentiful that con- tnngoes were qulto light , those on Ameri cans being only 2V4 per cent. Tlie tone of the markets were generally good on the universal peace manifesto. A further rise In Brazils and Argentines was the chief feature. Americans were active , reacting on profit taking , but the close was jjener- nlly better. For the moment I am able to report considerable public buying here , but whether it will last It Is difficult to say. St. Paul slock was scarce at the settlement nnd there was no contango. New York is now buying Kold freely. I learn already of 400.000 bought. The London discount rate Is n per cent in consequence and 1 B-8 per pent Is asked for American bills for forward delivery.

Opening conditions In dry goods arc on the whole satisfactory. There Is a. fair proportion of buyers In tbwn. Mall orders continue In fairly heavy proportion to provide nn outlet for widely diversified classes of goods. There are still many road salesmen at work. But many of the orders received are based on natural and routine stuff filling needs. Dress goods nro fully as quiet an men's wear goods and In so mo quarters they are quieter. Print ! cloths show the best results In cotton g6ods. There is continued curtailment at Fall River this week. The aggregate curtail ment will probably be equal to or more than that of last week. It is very clearly set tled that last week's sales cut a large slice off stocks In manufacturers' hands. There Is no advance In quotations , but they are undoubtedly steadier. It Is almost Impos sible to obtain any better prices. Snicnr Mnrket. NEW YORK , Aug. 29.-8UOAR-Rnw , strong and held firm ; fair refining , 3 15-lGc : centrifugal , 4 6-lGc.

The supply of beef cattle was fairly liberal , there being In the neighborhood r.t twenty-five loads of grass westerns and about the same number of Texans , while there were about seven loads of cornfed steers. There were so few cornfeds that they did not cut much figure In the trade , but It 1a sufo to say that they sold lower. Grass cattle were fully lOc lower on an average and In some cases lEc lower. It was rather late before buyers got down to business and sellers wcro a little slow In making up their minds to grant the con cession demanded , BO that the morning was Wfill advanced before anything- like a clear ance was effected. When they did cut loose the cattle went toward tliu scales a ( a lively rule. . Only about ten to fifteen loads of cows and heifers were on sale , about all of them grassers , and the most of them none too good. The market on that kind of cattle ' i did not show much change on account of the light offerings and It was not long until they were all picked up. It might be ex pected , however , that with anything like a liberal run of cow stuff the market would Co off In the same proportion that grass steera have. Over half of all the cattle on sale were western feeders , over 100 loads belnr re ported on sale. Choice or fancy feeders were reported steady , but out of all those on sale there were very few loads that would answer to thnt description. The. gen eral run of the feeding cattle sold about lOc lower. The market was fairly active at the decline and a considerable proportion of th * rattle on sale changed hands In good season. Considering the decline on beef and the number on sale , the market was by no means In bad condition. Representa tive sales ; STEKRS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

HOGS Today's hog market showed little or no change , values bring just about steady on all kinds. There wore only a few loads here and the trade was soon over with , mont everything being sold and weighed up In good season. Heavy loads sold at J3.6SB3..0. Good light and light mixed brought J3.70 < 3.75 , with a light sort at M.SO. Common light and sklppy stuff , or light mixed loads with old and thin sows are poor Rollers nnd may bo expected to land somewhere around $3.50 or lower If very poor. A considerable proportion of the medium weight loads brought $3.70. A glance at the table at the head of column will show that there was no change In the average of values as compared with Saturday. The week opens with the market - kot a very llttlo stronger than It was at the opening uf last \veok. though hardly enough so to admit of any change In quo tations. The market Is about 5c lower than It was two weeks ago nnd close to lOc lower than three weeks ago. While the market linn hardly been steady two days In succession this month , the range between the highest and lowest days has not been wide. On August 12 the average prlco reached $3.85 and that was the high point of the month , while the low point , $ .1.64 , was touched August 4. Representative sales : No Av. Bh. Pr. No. Av. Sh.

The sheep on sale were Wyomlngs , shipped In by Bob Taylor. There are not enough feeders coming to make a show of supply ing the demand. It Is the opinion of some that the supply of feeding sheep will bo larger later on , as the tendency among western men nt present Is to top out their flocks and ship the muttons while holding back these not good enough for killers. It Is also very apparent that feeders are buying a good many feeding sheep direct nnd thus preventing their coming to mar ket at the present tlmo.
