Newspaper Page Textto THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , SEPTEMBER 10 , 1809. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Chicago Markets Show Little Appreciable Eeault of Bullish Orop Report. WHEAT SELLING EXCEPT FROM OUTSIDE Dnlr Sllnlit Advance * Klnnllr " TW Linen , Mnlnly lleciume of n I.nrwe Inoreiine In tlio World' " VlMllile CHICAGO , Sept. 12-Tho government drop Issued yesterday attrred up wheat to- ttay , but a substantial advance was lot late In the session. A largo Increase In the 'world's visible was the Incentive for a bear raid. December closed unchanged and Sep tember &c higher ; corn closed without ma terial ch.ongo ; oats advanced \Ml\le \ \ tor Be- < comber and closed a shade higher for Sep tember ; provisions declined 6910C. At the Immediate opening In wheat yen- Itcrday'H bullish crop report did not have ( any appreciable effect on prices. On the contrary , the market was inclined toward nveakncss , the bears taking for their cue ftho heavy northwest receipts , offering wheat In considerable quantities" . The rc- oult wan smnll declines in everything. It was evident that the government report , iwhlch Indicated a total crop of something Jlko 487,000,000 bushels , was not no lightly regarded In the country , for outside buying ordern began to stream In shortly after the opening. The Inlying wan wo brisk In com parison with the recent dullness that for dho time being H took the breath away sfrom the professional bears and prices shot upward with considerable rapidity. Decem ber opened n phado lower at ll&llw and reached 71'/4c before realizing became heavy enough to cause a temporary setback. Sep tember opened VdQUc lower at 70',4ffl70'ic and advanced to 71c ; December then reacted to 71c and September to 70c. and around ithoue prices a good business was done. The tone of the floor gradually became decid edly bullish , the sentiment being strcngth- oned by heavy outilda buying , and shorts covered freely. Prices kept on the up grade until within thirty minutes of the closo. with the broadest business In weeks. December advanced to 7172c and Sep- itcmbor to 71V4C. This wan well above call llgurcs , but no reaction of Importance took place until the posting of Bradstrect's fig ures on the world's visible , showing an In crease of 4,935,000 bushels. This was far be yond what the trade anticipated and had n.n Immediate effect. In the meantime BhortB had covered generally and the sell ing movement which started found little opposition. Prices dropped gradually from ttuvt time to the dope , though September waa given better support than the more distant futures. December was the object of a determined raid by professional bears nnd at the close all the earlier advance had disappeared. Minneapolis and Duluth re ceipts were 1,862 oars , including two days receipts at Duluth , compared with 1,426 cars Oast week and 1,423 a year ago. Chicago re ceipts were 233 cars , fourteen of contract prade. T.otal primary receipts were 1,400,000 iHishelP , against 1,492,000 bushels lost year. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 442.000 bushels. There was no Bhlpplng demand here , but New York re ported forty-flvo loads for export. Decem ber declined to Tl c and was bringing that T > rlco at the close ; September declined to W4o ! and closed at that price. Corn' was fairly active and Irregular. The Tnarkot early felt the government report , considerable outside buying being donp. es pecially In deferred futures. The strength of wheat also had Its effect. Later In the Cay the market became weak and all the advance was lost. Weakness was moro smirked in September , due to offerings of m w Kansas corn for shipment via gulf ports. Receipts were heavy l.OSG cars. The export demand was good. December ranged from 2S'4 T2S54c to 28&tiffS8c and closed a Bhado higher at 2St2SV4c ( ! : September closed a , shade lower at 3Kc31c. Oats -was firm and higher , though not temlntnlnlng best prices. The bullish gov ernment report and the early advance in wlien't and corn stimulated buying nnd oauf'ed good advances all around. The late brook In other grains had some effect , but the market was steady at the close. Re ceipts were 522 cars. The shipping demand was only fair. December ranged from J M < g21c nnd closed * , i < ftVtc higher at 20ftfT21c. Provisions were weak all day and clo = d nt the 'bottom ' of a substantial decline. Hog prices were lower and yellow fever news raa dlfqulettng. The strength of grain Jnarkets probably prevented a larger de cline. At the close October pork was lOc > Hewer at $ S.OO.

MOVKMKNTS OK STOCKS AND IIONOS. Value * of Hfviirltlen Suffer Ilccauio of Contracillon of LoniiM , NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-ValUes of securi ties suffered today from a further drastic liquidation of speculative accounts Induced by the contraction of loans by the banks lor the purpose of replenishing their de pleted reserves. Some sentimental ef foct was produced by the sudden death of Cornelius ) Vanderbllt. But this event , though sudden , was not wholly unexpected , and those properties with which the name U most cln < ely associated gave evidence of support. Late in the day after loans had either be n readjusted or paid off there were some notable rtvoverles In prices , not a few of the railroad stocks rising above yestei day's level. In the Until hour there was a rather urgent demand from the ahorts to cover , which helped the rally. Bom * stocks gave fho appearance also of a demand from bargain hunters. All grades of stocks were thrown upon the market during the day ae * the rate for call money was marked up by successive stages or loans were called out right. The standard rnllroad stocks suf fered In equal degree with the Industrials , ut evidenced by the weakness of the grang\ra and there was a 2-polnt decline In Pennsylvania on larga offerings. The bwirs were watchful for opportunities till day and were quick to take the market nwoy from sellers. They had their greatest success In Brooklyn Transit , which broke to par on the opening transaction. The most strenuous cfTortn at support failed to hold this stock and It fftll to 95. The Flower group showed keen sympathy with the weakness In this stock. Peoplc-'s Ga , Federal Steel and International Paper dropped from 2 to 3 points below last night's level , and Rock Island leading the van of the Granger * . Tennessee Coal opened off 9V4 points and fluctuated very feverishly over a range of 5 points. Colorado Fuel moved In sympathy , but otherwise the Iron and steel ntocKH were relatively firm nnd came up In the final dealings to a level ubove yester- day's close In several Instance * . Sugar was one of the heavy sufferers on the actlvo Hat. Some of the less active- stocks to show notable losses were Chicago & Eastern Illinois , Consolidated Gas , Mo bile & Ohio , Cleveland , Lorraine. & WheelIng - Ing preferred , Minneapolis , St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie , Omaha and Lackawanna , In which the declines ranged from 3 to SU. Manhattan was wciik at one time , but rallied - lied strongly on the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend ot 1 per cent. The newly listed milling stocks gained 111 and 1 respectively. RAILROADS The southern group , the Pacifies and Atchlson preferred , showed a better resistance to the weakness than the general list nnd In some cases established net gains be > fore the close. The heavy liquidation of the lost two days has undoubtedly resulted in grcntly strengthening the condition of the banks. The call loan rale , after rising to 9 ijcr cent , fell away to 6 , but this was only after the day's demand hnd been satisfied. Re ports from Washington Indicated that the Treasury department was indisposed to offer measures of rtillef so long as liquidation was not forced beyond purely speculative limits. The foreign exchanges rates on Lon don , Berlin and Paris all yielded a fraction today , but discounts at those centers d d not respond with an advance as they would almost certainly do If a movement of gold to Now York were Impending. New York banks generally marked up the tlmp loan mto today to 6 per cent , though the dc- mand In that department Is not heavy. Bonds were weak In sympathy with stocks nnd thorp was considerable liquidation manl- fe t In the speculative , Issues. Total sales , par value. $1,915.000. United States old 4s coupon declined 4 per cent In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says ! The markets hero did a small business today In view of the settlement tomorrow. The tone was Irregular - lar , closing easier.

COTTON-Specula- tlon In cotton futures todav was less active than It was yesterday. The market was decidedly weaker. The turn In prices was made largely by a local dissatisfaction with the cabled account from Liverpool. But re- celptn at the ponts-iwere very heavy , and a report got out to the effect that McNelll was ready with another bearish forecast. On the opening call-therefore , the market broke 409 points , and by noon showed a loss of Ofill points. The weakness ( n the morning waa In creased by selling for Wall street accounts , growing out of the great weakness In Mocks. Durlng-tho afternoon a rather steadier feel ing prevailed wtyi nothing particular In the way of news to Justify the change. Yet the market had.no substantial rally. The.ro wag some coverjpjr.-and not a few of the moro prudenf pliofts took their profits In preference tq BMJevIng that the abnormally heavy movementof pew cotton was less due to an excessive yield than to a pre mature development due'to the drouth. The. market was finally steady at n net loss of 9@12 points , the market having sold off near the close under ? linuldatlon and bear ham mering.

The market as a whole did not show much change , values being just about steady on all kinds. The supply of cornfed steers was much larger than on a good many days of late , buyers counting upon some twenty-five loads. There were very few western grass steers good enough for beef , but there were a dozen loads of Texas. Holders of corn- fed steers as a rule were quoting the market a steady , but It was no more than steady. Some of the cornfedo were good enough to bring"J5.906.00. The range beef and Texan also sold at steady prices- . Under the In fluence of a Very fair demand the most of the cattle changed hands early. Cows and heifers were--ln moderate sup ply and the market was reasonably active at steady prices. The same was true of other kinds of butchers' stock. The de mand for feeder cows seems to hold up remarkably well and prices are good as compared with the way other kinds of cattle are selling. The feeling In the stocker and feeder market was somewhat Improved as com pared with yesterday. Receipts of all kinds were not nearly so large as had been an ticipated for today and good feeders were scarce. Th-j feeling seemed to hold posses sion of yard operators that the receipts for the balance of the week would be small. At the same time yesterday s ehipments to the country were largo and speculators were looking for a good country demand the balance of the week , owing to the fact that the recent decline In prices would naturally stimulate buying. Under such conditions the market on the good kinds of feeders was a little stronger. Common kinds , however , were slow ana hard to sell , Just as they have been for some time back and Just as they are likely to be for soms time to come. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av.

The quality was the best that It has been In a good many days and , taking that fact Into consideration , the market waa all of lOo lower in a good many cases. Packers were figuring their droves as a good deal better than the average of late , while the average price was lower. The market closed a little stronger. Heavy packing hogs sold down to $4.16 and from that up to $4.20 for good heavy. Light mixed loads went largely at { 4.20 ® 4.26 , with some good light at J4.30. Yester day's top -was $4.35.

With the offerings so large buyers were disposed to take advantage of the situation to fill their orders at lower prices and they acted on the bear side from the very start. The result was that fat stuff , both sheep and Iambs , sold 10@15c lower. There was a good deal of sorting to bo done , so that it waa late before much of the fluff was ready to show , but when the market opened there seemed to be a fair demand at the decllno and a considerable proportion of the offerIngs - Ings , large as they were , hod changed hands before midday. Feeder sheep continue In good demand , but ther were not many of that kind hero today , so that trading waa somewhat lim ited.
