THE OMATTA DAILY BEE : "WEDNESDAY , SEPTEMBER 21 , 1898 COMMERCIAL AN ! ) FINANCIAL Wheat Takes a Sharp Upward Turn on Strong Cash Outside Markets. FAVORABLE GAINS IN OTHER COMMODITIES XJecentlier mid Srplnnlicr AVIirnt Clone 1 1-H mill 1 ; t-l CuntN IllKlirr Tlinii Ycntcrilny 1'rovlnlonn G-u- crnlly A < l\nnce. CHICAOO , Sept. 20. Strong outsldo cash markets and light northwest receipts were factors In a sharp advance In wheat tdoay. December closed IHc higher and September lic higher. Corn and oatu were both favorably affected by wheat nnd advanced bbout 'Ac ' each. Provisions were weak early , but turned strong and closed at slight ad vances all around. A surprise was given traders In who.it at the outset by the big dropping off In re ceipts in the northwest , Minneapolis and Dututh reporting but. S20 cars compared with 1,093 yesterday und 1,921 n year ago. To add to the natural bearish effect of thetv ; figures , Liverpool cables were firm und higher and tlicro was qulto n good demand to cover foreign acceptances. December started with plenty of business at G2Vii ® C2c against yesterday's closing prlco cl C2Uc and Inside of halt an hour the demand had advanced the price to G2u. Septem ber , In the meantime , showed even moro ( strength than the later du- llvery , opening UG'.ic hlcher at C5Uc nnd advanced to l5 ! ic. At G2Tic for De cember the advance waa checked. That prlco was cloi-e to "call" figures and quite a good deal of Helling by holders of those privileges ensued , resulting In a slight 10- DCtlon. A period ot dullness ensued wlli prices varying but little until about noon , when the Atlantic port clearance figures were posted , showing the surprisingly large total of 077,000 bushels , of which Now York contributed GOG.OOO bushels. As yesterday' * visible supply statement gave stocks at New York at only 18S.OOO bushels , today's bis { shipments were entirely unlocked for anil us a buying flurry ensued Immediately De cember advanced to C3c and September tc GGlic , with the demand quite general. Brad- etreet's figures on the world's visible sup ply , showing an Increase of 3.G92.000 bushels , encouraged sellers again and caused price ? to drop a little , December getting back tc 62 0 , but near the close the strength shown by outsldo markets , especially for the casli article , started buying again and th ? markel from that tlmo on ruled very firm. Decem ber was finally bid up to G3SC3Vjc am ! closed at GSTJC. September advanced U G6c and cloyed at CG'Jc. Corn was very slow , but strong , the mair Influence being the strength ot wheat. Ca bles wore firm nnd foreign houses took c good many scatteied lots. Clearances wcr < liberal , 301,000 bushels. Receipts were 911 cars. December ranged from 29 40 to 29Vi < nnd closed He higher at 29ic. The market for oats wa almost al a standstill. Only a small scalp ing buhlnoHs was don nnd price : until late In the session ( showed scarcelj uny variation. Trading became more acttv < late In the session In nympathy with wheat nnd prlci-s advanced some , the market clog. Ing firm at the top. May ranged from 22'ii < to 22V8e and closed at 22lS22",4c. " Provisions started weak. Hog receipt ! were liberal and there were the usual yel' low fever reports. The colling pressure wai not heavy , however , and moderate buyl'if by packers caused prices to harden later Trade nt no tlmo was very largo.

Dcnmml for StockH Stnnll nnil Ank - iicxn li-vcliiim In Sonic I.lncn. NEW YORK , Sept. 20.-Thc stock market today presented all the characteristics of genuine reaction. Last week's sharp re covery eliminated the short Interests very largely nnd the forced liquidation of profits had been mostly completed during the pre vious continued decline. The market was thus freed to a general extent from tech nical Influences and In condition to respond tn the prospects for General business In the country. lt failure to do so yesterday was attributed to unsettling Influence ot the slump ir. Sugar. The ucars were evidently timid about continuing their campaign further against Sugar nnd were Inclined to cover , so that this Influence toward re action wns removed. Nevertheless , the market drooped heavily toward a lower basis with one or two exceptions In the list and closed only barely steady at u level generally 1 per cent or more btlow last nluhfs level. The action of the mar ket was not different in character from that which prevails at a tlmo when the business outlook presents general dlncour- UKument , contraction of activity and de clining profits. The demand for stocks was very small all day und prices went down easily under comparatively light offerings. A\onkness was particularly manifest In To bacco , the Grangers and Pacifies. The action of these stocks Indicated the liquidation of a heavy Individual specula tion on the long side. 'The sharpest brtitk In the market was coincident of the mark- Ine ; up of call loans to 6 per cent. This flurry In the money market was disap pointment to bull operators , especially in view of the engagement of over J2OUOOOQ In gold for Import nnd the mailing from the Treasury department yesterday ot checks for Interest on registered 4 per cent bonds duo October 1 , amounting to J4.910- 000 , which are payable Immediately. Thn HUbtrensury's debit balance at the clearing house also ran up today to J1.261.45S , re flecting a large Increase in government ex penditures. The sluggishness of the gold movement Is bomewlmt remarkable In luce of conditions. Call money in London la ' , < per cent ngnlnst G per cent here today. London discount Is 1 % per cent to 1 7-S , against 4 per cent hero Last month's trade balance In this country's favor was J35.0UO- WAI on top of the favorable balance for ev ery month In the preceding year. In addi tion , London has recently bought securities . In this nrjricet. It Is a fact that part of 1 today s gold cnguKements was made by bullion dealers here who are shipping silver In response to the existing active demand attributed to Spanish account. There la not sufficient demand for the exchange against the silver shipment to make u market and there Is a better profit In Im porting gold. Exchange Is thus clearlv demonstrated to bo at the gold Import point and the. question arises , What has been done with the country's credits abroad that they do not bring a larger gold move ment ? The Immediate future or the local money market is , however , clearly toward ureater case. Dealings In bonds were not nn a large scale today and prices were toward a lower level. Total sales , J1S10,000. tJnlud fctaiet 4s , old and new , were U lower In the bid prlco today. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says : The stock market here opened steady today , but closed generally dull on the unexpectedly large elllux ( if gold from the Bank of England. Americans were good at one tlmo on German orders to buy Erie , Union Paclllc and Northern Pacific common. A small feature Is the I revival of speculation In nitrate shares , Spanish 4s were llrm on Parlsi buying , and I Spanish exchanse on London fell sharply to 39.SO , ngalnst 40.88 nt the opening ol the month. I have Information from an excellent quarter that negotiation by the Hong Kong bank and Chinese cortrnmenl for railway loans are proceeding most sat isfactorily for British Interests. Consols were lower today on the gold movement and on an unconfirmed report that th ( Bank of England Is seeking to get con trol of the money market by borrowing on consols. This point , If true , would b' most Important , but I cannot express r definite opinion nt the time of cabling. The total efflux of gold from the bank today wns 742,00f , which , the official stntemfnl ' says , Included .C397.000 In bar gold am' 215.000 In United States coin. All Is sale to bo going to New York , but I have rfn- son to believe that a portion of the bai no'd ' has none to Germany.

The fact , however , that of ferings ot beef cattle were light was the making of the market , as early advices from other selling points all Indicated alow and \\eak markets. The demand hero was ot such large proportions , while the available beef steers were In such small supply , that there was a livery scramble among buyers to secure as many loads as possible. The result ) \\as that corn fed steers sold at prices that were generally stronger than yesterday , good cattle bringing J5.00QC.40. It did not take very long for buyers to clear the pens and the thirty loads ou sale were all dis posed of early In the morning. The demand for western grass beef cactlo was also and the market strong. Cows and heifers wcro In good demand and the market active nnd steady. Every thing offered met with ready sale at very satisfactory prices. There were a good many feeders In the yards this morning and t'ho country demand did not appear to bo especially vigorous , but regular yard dealers appeared to anticipate a largo buying demand , as they all seemed to want good cattle , nnd the market on the best kinds of feeders was stronger in addi tion to being active. The common and me dium kinds did not show any Improvement , but on the other hand were Just as they have been on most days of late , that Is , rather slow and scicky.

The market opened slow nnd weak under the Influence of very unfavorable re ports from other markets. Buyers , how ever , wanted the IIOKS , and the decline hero amounted to only 2M,05c. , The market was active at the decllno when the trade was once under way anil the hogs were all sold early In the morning. The re ports from other market points all indi cated n much larger Break In values. Ono of the largest packers In Chicago wired that they bought a drove lOc lower than yester day. day.Tho The hogs sold hero at J3.G5@3.SO , the long string at $3.70. Yesterday the range wns J3.703.SO. with the bulk of the sales at J3.72'i < ff3.7r > . It will be observed thai ) the top for the two days Is the same , two good light loads going at J3.80. For a while back heavy and light hogs , If prime , sold In the same notch , but just nt present t'here Is a premium on choice light. Today's decllno wipes out a portion of yesterday's gain , but leaves the market stilt a llttlo better than It was at the close of last week , as will bo noted from the tnblo of average prices at head of crflutnn. Representative sales : SHEEP The receipts were considerably smaller than yesterday , but at the same tlmo there was a fair showing of muttons , both sheep and lambs , and a very light sprinkling of Htockers and fe-eders. The mar ket us a whole was In a very satisfactory condition as regards the selling Interests. Packers appeared to want the sheep and the trade might bo summed up as n good steady and active market. Most everything sold in good season. There nothing In the way of news to be said about the feeder market. As was noted yesterday the demand for that kind of stuff Is good right along and fully equal to or In excess of the supply. 1 .Quotations tire : Clnod grana westerns , i'3.90ffj:4.00 : ; fair to good , $3.803.90 ; good yearlings. $4.1504.25 ; good to choicelambs , J5.00ift5.25 ; fair to good lambs. $4.90515.00 ; feeder wethers , 2-year-olds and over , $3.75 ( TH.OO ; feeder yearlings , J4.00@4.15 ; and fedcr lambs , $1.2501.75.
