THE OMAHA DATLY BEE : WEDNESDAY , AUGUST 1899. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Corn , the Big Market on the Chicago Exchange , in a Heavy Decline. V/HEAT / SUFFERS FROM LACK OF DEMAND Out * Hull niul Stenilr In Spite of AVoiKiicKN lit Uliicr t.rnlnn 1'riivlxlniiN "Were Very IrroKiilnr. CHICAGO , .Aiiff. l.-Corn was tlio biff market on 'Ghanfio today , extremely favor able crop roporls causing liquidation that vrna heavy enough to cut SSio olt previous prices. "Wheat sufforc < l from lack of cash demand and lost B'Sjic. Oats closed ' /do luwor. 1'roviKlons closed lutlier weak but u shmlo higher. I'roitounucxl dullness was praotloally the only feature of wheat from the opening un. Ill within three-quarters of an hour of the close. During that tlmo the rnnffo of prlct-fl was but ye , and for Ions periods the lilt wna hnflf deserted , traders going to pro visions and corn , where more uativJty was apparent. The opening was rather weak at decline , September starling lower at C9&G9a ! It advanced aliortly nfter the opening 'to ' C0c , out soon fell back to opening prlcc-H and until after noon kept within that range , l/ttlo long liquidation was mrtlcoablo during the morning and iil- thoux'h news n.s a nile was bearish , the nb- unro of welllnfj ] > res. uru prevented any material decline. Cables were lower , but did not ittuiw the det'llnu expecUid. HeXrts | from the Hirlng wheat country indicated a lurgo crop and the w eat her was favorable for the grain. Northwvst receipts were light , Minneapolis and Dili nth reporting 206 cum , against & 2 ears last week , and S2 cars 1 1. year ago. Chicago receipts were 112 cars , nix of contract grade. Lilttla now wheat was reported < unioiiK the arrivals. Total receipts at preliminary Jiolnts were 840.01A ) bu. , com- l > arcd with u'x'.tWO bu. a year ago. Atlantic jiort c/learanccD / Of wheat and flour amounted 16 515,000 T > u. lirudtftroet'n report on the visible supply , duo about hoon , had a tend ency to rc.sirlot trading In the morning , as a bearish report 'Waa ' apprehended. This sur- Tnlso proved to bo correct , the decraauo be ing put at only XM,0 > M , against 5,711,000 bu. a year ago. About 12:30 : the almost complete ubHencu of c sh demand , both hero and at outsldo . points , apparently tmprxused the Im1ln with the futility ot longer holding tnoir wheat and a nquiaaiing movement was sliwited whloh grew decidedly 'heavy ' as t'ho Hes-Mon' ' drew to a close. The weakness Hhown by corn aotexl as a spur to the dis trusted longs and Itvrgo quantities of long wheat oamo out on the decline. Previous to the noon hour > Uio Soptwnber prlco had touched CDTiifTOc on a moderate amount of buying , prlncVi > a1ly by shorts , but It de clined rapidly under the liquidation * and ( ihorlly before thu close touched 6Dc. The close waa wisik ait 69'/Bo oellers. Corn wtoa wink and at times active. Re ports from the corn belt Indicated a large crop. 'Mils and continued favorable weather hnd largo receipts , & 81 cars , started im- jK > rtant outside liquidation. Local longs joined the soiling movement IMer and prices from "Wo to SO-'Jic , and closed ri0iQ ; lower lat 3030',4c. ' Oats were dull , but steady. In spite of weakness of other grains. There was a fair ex-i > ort demand at the seaboard and cnoug-h buyers of September to keep the iprlco steady most of the session. Receipts were 'heavy ' , CM cars. Contract stocks , as a result of the July deal , showed an increase of 031,000 bu. for the week. September iainged from 19o to 13' c and closed Vac Jower at IDc. 1'rovlslons were Irregular.

Today's stock mar ket begnn strong , but the Bullish Bentlmcnt became exhausted nnd the close was lower thnn last night's. The declines extended to n. | x > lnt each In Burlington nnd Pennsylva nia nnd from 1 to 2 points In the lending industrials. . Soon after the opening realiz ing snles were made on a large scale , operators taking advantage of heavy com mission hoit > demand to take the profits anndo on the recent rise. The outsldo buying and the realizing popmod about equally balanced for a tlmo but the weight of the selling proved too miifh for the market to carry and prices if railroads gnvo way. The softness of IMP market moved the professional operators to turn to the rhort side , after having realized and they ottncked values vigorously In , the afternoon , wiping out practically all the gains in the specialties nnd carrying the rallronds generally a sharp fraction below Inst night. There were some isolated stocks which maintained their strength throughout the day , notably the Chicago Great Western IRSUPS , Colorado & Southern , and Chicago & Eastern Illinois , which rose from n frac tion to 3 jc. The strong Juno statements by Atrhlson and Union Pacific were without marked prreo.t. Rates for oill money today were marked up. to 4V4 per cent In the afternoon. Cheap 'money ' does not appear nearer than It did n. inonlh ago , as Ix > ndon and the continent are evidently counting on borrowing the credits to be established by the coming ex port movement. The calling home of these credits would , It poems probable , result In sales of pecurltlcs rather than shipments of gold , which the Bank of England li still buying In the open market , and from Germany. London bought quite freely of Ktocks In New York today and exchange bll'ls against future grain shipments con tinued In large supply. There has also been a sharp faW In exchange on Paris this week nnd today sterling exchange In Paris rose l'i centimes. Banks in other cities have been largo lenders In New York and have drawn on their depoMts in Now Yurk banks for the purpose. This operation rc-ditces the possl- Wlltle-s of further strain on New York banks through Interior demand to move the crops. But for the moment It makes Increased de mands upon them nnd does not offer much rellof to the local money situation.

Room operators were not In a mood to push out new risks inasmuch as t-.io news from AbiKVid and crop centers did not warrant aggressive action In either direction. The market opened quiet tut an advance of 1 point to a decline of 1 point nnd after llticUiatlng wtthlu a range of 3 points , closed qulot and steady , net linclianged to 1 point higher. Knowledge that the fever had gained a foothold in t'hc ' routh tended to make Investors cautious and weaken transactions on the part of t'ho ' profos- sloniiil contingent. Crop news was unques tionably good on the average , Texas in formation belnw ospeclaHly fine.

The market was In very fair shaps. the demand on the part of local packers being good and the offerings all changed hands early. Practically every thing ' was sold and weighed up by 10 o'clock. The prices paid were. jus > t about the same as prevailed yesterday and the trade could be summed up as a good , steady , nctlvo market. In sonift cases sales men thought they got. If anything , a little stronger prices than yesterday and buyers were claiming that the cattle cost them a little more money than yesterday. There were not so many good cattle hero as on some days , the average quality being only fair , but there were some good enough to bring J3.60. There were only a few range cattle here good enough for beef , 'but ' what there were sold at just about steady prices. Some of the. II. R. cattle brought $4.45 and n bunch of Texas $4.05. a cut oft from the same lot that sold for J4.10 yesterday , but the quality was hardly as good today. Cows and heifers were In very Rmnll sup ply , less than a dozen loads being on sale. The market on that kind of stock was fully steady. One bunch of cornfed cows and heifers sold at $4.40 , while the balance of the receipts consisted mostly of western grassers , which sold largely at $3.6503.85. Stockers and feeders were In good de mand , as noted yesterday , owing to the most encouraging prospects for a cron crop p'.nce the rains. Prices were ai Un a little stronger than yesterday nnd fully lOc higher thnn. the close of last week. As compared with the time just previous to the Ilrst rain last Thursday there has been a big advance. In fact.s for a few days last week light cattle especially were almost unsalable. The feeling today among the speculators was very strong and they were pricing the few cattle that they hnd on hand at 'way higher prices. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr.

The market opened 15c lower nnd though sellers were rather backward about making the concession they had to give In to the In evitable nnd the most of the hogs sold early at the decline noted.i The majority brought $ l.mMN.20. with a few light loads nt $4.25. The close. If anything , was a llttlo stronger than the early market. So far as can be judeed from appearances tlicro was no cause for the break in the provision market aside from the yellow fever scare In Virginia , which was taken advantage of by the bears to force values downward. What these reports amount to can bo learned from Die telegraph advices in another column of this paper. It will be noted from the table of average prices ut head of column that today's break wipes out a gooa share of the advance gained In the last two weeks. In fact , the hogs sold today In very nearly the same notices as two weeks ago. Representative sales : No Av. Sh. Pr. No Av. 8h.
