10 THE OatAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , NOVEMBER 30 , 1898. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Enormous Receipts and Splendid Demand Bend Wheat on Irregular Oourse. CLOSING PRICES ARE SOMEWHAT LOWER Corn nnri Ontu ncmnln Unchanged and Provision * Are Dull and Firm and Hour Receipt * Are Heavy * CHICAGO , Nov. 29. Wheat today , after running a very Irregular course , closed heavy nnd 3-Sc under yesterday's llnal fig- uro. It wns a case of enormous receipts against a splendid demand and the receipts Dually triumphed. Corn and oats are un changed. Provisions closed a little higher. The Immediate opening In wheat was rather dull , May starting nt CCIJCO l-8c , a decline of ' , ic , and December U03-Sc lower tit 37-Sc. Liverpool failed to respond to yesterday's advance here nnd northwest receipts were very heavy , Minneapolis nnd IJuluth reporting 2,021 cars , compared with 2,177 last week nnd 1,043 a year ago. That Kave the market the easy opening. Reports that a heavy snowstorm prevailed In the Dakotas , suggesting consequent de- crraflc In receipts , were apparently the rea son tor a brief advance , December selling to 66 l-8c and May to 6 3-Sc shortly after the opening. Then followed a period of de pression which lusted until about 11 o'clock. Reports from the Argentine crop , the con dition ot which has boon exciting much In terest , were conflicting , one report claimIng - Ing much damage from locusts and frosts nnd another report saying the exportable nurplus would ho large In spite of any damage. But this report gavu the export- ublo surplus nt about 30.000,000 bushels , which Is considerably below previous esti mates , and therefore the Argentine news had a supporting Influence If anything. JJrndHtrent's reported the world's visible In- orcase of 3,805,000 bushels , Jimt about what wns expected. There wns still moro or less nervousness shown by December longs , and liquidation from that source , though not BO Jioavy by nny means ns of late , -ftfcs never theless a feature of the morning decline. Before the pressure hnd been removed December had been forced down to CS c and May to G6c. After 11 o'clock the market became- firmer. Closing cables , notably from Paris , showed strength and seaboard ports were excellent. Clearances were put at 960,000 bushels and forty loads were reported sold for export. Sales hero were about 250,000 bushels. Strength In corn also helped to create rtio demand which finally sent May up to 66Hc nnd December to 6 3-806GV4c. Primary receipts were very heavy. 1,822,000 InmhelH , and this announcement again brought before the traders the fact that farmers were apparently unanimous In a doslro to sell. The demand gradually fell oft nnd during the last thirty minutes' "trading the market was quite weak. De- rcmber ilnnlly declined to C5 5-8o nnd closed at OS-7ic. May declined and closed at 65 7-Sia > Corn , though having periods of depres sion was In tno main firm. The demand for December was a feature. Receipts were moderate , 478 cars , nnd cables were steady. Soft weather In the went was a bull In fluence. Shipping houses reported fewer offers from the west. Seaboard sales amounted to 71 loads. The visible de creased 1,432,000 bushels. Local bull trad ers were good buyers. Paris advanced dur ing the morning , but the advantage was lost when wheat weakened. May ranged from &l\iM \ 3-8o to 34 io and closed un changed at 34V c. Onto followed corn very closely. There was only a fair business transacted. Local long Interests were moderate sellers. Cash and export demands were reported good and receipts were moderate , 314 cars. May ranged from 2uV4o to 26&c and closed un changed at 2Cc. Provisions were dull but firm In the fnco of heavy receipts of hogs. Room traders , iu ) a rule , were bullish. Shorts took nd- vantage of the natural business to cover n.nd there was also some buying for the long account. Packers were moderate Bi'llers. ' There was some depression near the end on account of the declines In ijraln.

OPERATIONS IN STOCKS AND BONDS. Profit-Taking ; the Order of the liny on the Stock Exchange. NEW YORK , Nov. 29.-ProlH-taklng was the order on the Stock exchange today. Some attempt was made to resist the de clining tendency , but the persistent selling to realize discouraged the effort and sup port was finally withdrawn throughout the list. Yesterday's strong demand for Lon don account fell off today , ns It was g n- crnlly supposed It would when the effect of this buying on the sterling exchange mar ket was remarked. The approach of ex change to the gold Import point resulted In an advance In the private discount rate in London again today and thl caused a rise In London exchange at Berlin , which con tinues to bo the real center of the pressing need of money. The stiffening of the discount rate In Lon don did not avail , however , to prevent a furtlnr weakening In sterling exchange at New York. Posted rates were reduced Ho and the actual rate for demand sterling fell to $4.S5U under the largo offerings of grain and cotton bulls against exports. Thl * Is the level for exchange which brought gold on the recent movement and there Is llttlo doubt that gold would have been en gaged In London for Import today had It not been for n further rise In the price of the metal In that market , bars advancing a half penny to ll',4d and eagles > 4d to 76V4d. London censed to buy Americans under the stress of this threatening condition In the exchange market. Nevertheless the stock market showed advances at the opening here nnd was sustained by heavy buying of the grangers on the Burlington state ment. It was < evident , however , that a part of the recent buying of the grangers was In anticipation of this statement and the name was evidently true of Union Paclllc , which , with a large Increase In gross earn ings and a reduction In operating expenses , showed an addition to the surplus of $307- 891. The puWlcatlon of these statements was therefore met with heavy realizing. There was In addition continued realizing In Atchlson preferred and some selling of Northwestern and Omaha by holdsrs who were disappointed at the failure to increase the Northwest dividend. There was strength among : the southwcsterns and some southern railroads. Southern Pacific and a number of specialties. Including an extreme rise of 6V4 In Sugar and an upward movement also of some of the low-priced stocks remote from nny dividend chance ? . But these were Insufficient to counteract the general downward tendency , which finally prevailed and made the closing weak at the lowest prices generally for the day. Edison Illuminating of New York made a conspicuous advance of 14 points to iw. There was strength In a few points In the bond market , but the general tendency of prices was downward In sympathy with { .tccks. Total sales. $4.105,000. United States 2s advanced 2 % and the 4s 1-8 in the bid PThe Evening Post's London financial ca blegram says : Stocks were' generally , peed here today , with a slight revival of activity in all the speculative markets. Speculative Interest In Americans undoubtedly grows out of opinions In the best quarters here as regards a continuance of the rise , which or ! much divided. Those who are Inclined to be pessimistic have an eye to the meetIng - Ing of congress next month. The feature today In Americans was the sharp rise In ftere. and Central Pacific , which was bought from Germany. Prices of Americans closed under the best. New York has been bid ding for gold , but It was outbid in the open market by Germany at 77s lid and a. largo amount of German coin was taken from the Bank of England. New York exchange Is watched closely , although leading Amer ican houses here say that New York Is not likely to take much gold at present.

The market was entirely satisfactory on all kinds excepting feeders , und the bulk of the offerings changed hands -urly. The proportion of cornfed steers was larger today , about thirty loads being re ported on sale , and In addition there were a few scatterings loads of grass westerns. The market on fat cattle was Just about steady on all kinds and fairly active , so that practically everything was disposed of early In the forenoon. Some right good and well finished bieves brought $5.15. the best price that has been paid on this market In over a. week. As was the case yesterday , pretty good cattle sold right around $ I.UO , fair cattle around $4.65M.75 , and common cattle anwyhere from J4.40 down. Good cows and heifers were In demand at fully steady prices and the market was active , so that everything that would comp under that head changed hands In good season. Common cows and canners wert slow sale and the market on that kind of stuff Is lOc lower than lost week. Some right good cornfed heifers sold at 14.25 , good westerns at $3.75 , and the general run of fair to medium cows at $3.00@3.50. Bulls and etags brought steady prices. In the feeder division there was almost nothing doing and the market , in the language of the yards , was no gorfd. The country demand was very light and speculators did not feel llko adding any number to their holdings , -flame choice yearling white faces sold at { 4.60 , ana it teemed as if what llttlo demand there was was limited almost exclusively to light cattle , that Is , calves and yearlings. Heavy feeders were extremely slow sale at any price. It Is no easy matter to say how much-lower the market really was for the reason that there were so few cattle sell ing. One thing Is certain and that is that It was considerably lower than last week , In addition to being extremely dull. Rep resentative sales : BEEF STEERS. No Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Other markets reported larire re ceipts and In Chicago there was In addition a large number of holdovers. Chicago reported - ported a slow market at the best and Kan sas City buyers wired local buyers that they were filling orders at prices that were a flat lOc lower. It seemed as If nil the news ot the day was on the bear side , but one thins that helped to offset this was the I fact thnt buyers wanted hogn , and lots of them. Under the Influence of th ? good de mand the market wiui no more than a shade easier , but It was slow as buyers wt-ru bound to get steady prices. Th rnngo of price * was about the same as wns paid yesterday , but there were mure sales at the low prices so that the average wan nut quite so high an yesterday. Packing nnd heavy hoes sold quite largely ut J3.1VfJ.17H. Oood medium weight hoits sold genrr.tlly at $3.17V4'U3.20 ' , and some very choice light loads brought W.22VC. Yesterday the rmut of the hogs sold at $3.17V4If3 20. itnd there was a very small proportion of the sales at $3.15. with more at t3.22mS3.2a Toward the last the market snowed some Improvement under the- Influence of the M.-ry good demand referred to above aiid the late sales were in about yesterday's notches. The result was that the market an a whole did not want much of being as good as It was yesterday , the avarage of all the sales being only Ic under yesterday. Representative vales. No. Av. Sh. Pr.

The few fat sheep on sale changed hands readily at good strong prices and the trade was soon over with. The packers here nil want steady supplies , but of late the receipts have been somewhat fitful , a feast one day and a famine the next. It is likely , how ever , that receipts will continue rather small for some time to come as the grass sheep are practically all run. and It IH still too early to expect many cornfed sheep to arrive.

THE IIETIHHD III * nimrnltlm on Oner More Tnktng Up the Ordinary Wa n of Life. "For a long tlmo after I had Riven up busl. ness , " says the retired burglar In the Now York Sun , "I had great difficulty In accom modating myself to the ordinary condition ! of life. Sct ms to mo I told you once sonio- 'thlng about that , liow I couldn't get Into the 'habit ' of eating and sleeping nt the hours ot other people , und I had difficulty In get tins hack 1'i other ways , too , EO strong Is the force of habit. "There were some curious things about this tliat might never occur to you t all. For Instance , In those days , It 1 cams home late nt night , 'that ' Is , at the hour at which formerly 1 had gene Into other pcopla'a hiniEee , I never went In at my own front door ; I used to go In at a cellar window , Thla was bad ; It was llko a man who had re solved to quit drinking taking a drink occa sionally ; ho Is In constant danger of falling into eld habits ; but It didn't seem to mo that I could break off all at onco. And then I made It easy for myself , too. When I locked up the cellar nights I used to leave a cellar window unfastened , so that 11 was perfectly easy for me to get In. . "Uut ono night , or ono morning , rather , about 2 o'clock , when I got around to that window , I found It fastened and I knew well enough what had happened. My wife hnd a perfect horror of burglars and I knew sht must , have been around the cellar after mo and teen the window unfastened and turned the buttons. But that was no Impediment to me ; It made mo laugh to myself to think how easy It was and I opened the window and slid In as usual. "Besides having a horror of burglars my wife wrs great on pickles and preserves and jellies and that sort ot thing , which she used to put up herself and .keep down cellar on a hanging shelf , consisting of a nice broad plank suspended by sldo pieces nailed to th door beams overhead , I don't know how I did It ns a general thing we never do know how we como to do things but when I slid In that night I got turned In some way so 'that I wan In danger of falling , and I threw up my arm tnstlctlvely to save myself and my hand touched the end of that shelf I'd often said It was too near the window and the first thing she knew somcbody'd com along and clean It all out and naturally enough It closed over the board. And the sport of It was that I yanked that end of the shelf free from Its support and pulled II down and the bottles and Jars went slam scattering down on tbe cellar bottom and I went down among 'em. "Somehow I managed to cut myself up pretty bad on the broken glass and I was pretty well used up otherwise. The upshot of that experience was that I stayed In ttu houRo six weeks to repair damages , and an a matter of fact that did more to bring me back to the ways of other people than any thing else. I was half helpless at first and I gradually became accustomed to the hablti of the house.
