THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 22 , 1899. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Bapid Flnotnatloni of Chicago Wheat Consequent quent on Banett-Farnnm Failnie , PROVISIONS CLOSE WITH LITTLE CHftNGL JlVhcnt Pfolw a I'rnedonnl Artvnnre Corn ( SocN n Simile Higher for December nnil Iioircr for > September Ontn Gnln. CHICAGO , Sept. 21. The failure of a com mission house which for over a week has been prominent on the selling side made a wildly excited wheat market for a time to- flny and sent prices skyward. The market later Hcttlcd back Into its old rut , closing at nboufc % ® ) { c advance. Coarao grains and provisions -were affected somewhat by the wheat flurry. December corn closed a shads higher , but September Me lower. Oats ad vanced J4o and provisions closed without material change. Partly on account of a misunderstanding In regard to the northwest receipts and partly on the advance at Liverpool wheat opened strong and at a substantial ad vance , December KO higher at 71671c nnd September % a higher at 72c. Duluth receipts were placed nt but 145 cnrs and the total at both northwest pointsat C56 cars , Which Induced considerable covering by BhorU , the falling off being totally unex pected. Minneapolis figures wcie In error , ( however , and the total was corrected to 6S4 cars , against 879 last week and 331 a year ago. nils amount was heavy enough to Induce flomo selling by the earlv buy ers and prices sagged for a time , Ueccm- iber declining to 71'/4c. About nn hour after the opening the market , which In the mean time had been gradually rising on heavy buying by Barrett & 1 nrnum , who were oald to be' heavily short , was startled by the announcement of their failure and In nn In- etant the pit wns In an uproar. It was rc- norted the suspended firm was short at least C.000,000 bu. , although the heavy buyIng - Ing for their account was done early In the nesslon , and this fact caused the December jirico to Jump from about 71c. to which jiolnt It hnd previously advanced , to 73c and then to 73Hc In nn exceedingly short time , l-'or some time the market ran wild. The price changed with great rapidity under an enormous amount ot trading , December t dropping to 72V4c , back to 72c , then to 72c nnd up again to 72V4c. It was estimated that about 3,000,000 bu. were bought for the account of the distressed firm In about ten minutes. The skyward trend of prices ( brought all classes of shorts Into the mnr- Icet. The flurry over the failure gradually BUbsldcd and December settled back to 71c. During the latter part of the FPsslon itho market was almost at a standstill and jirlces kept within nn extremely small range. During the bulge In December Sep- itcmber had advanced to 73Hc on a very small amount of business. Offers to sell about 25,000 bu. September later brought no buyers and the prices were forced down to 70&b. but It later recovered to and closed nt 72c. Chicago receipts were 213 cars , 30 of contract grade. Total primary receipts rwero 1,240,000 bu. , compared with 1,372,000 bu. n vear ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour nmounted to 734,000 bu. The seaboard reported 35 loads taken for export. December held firm nt about 71c nnd closed at that price. Corn was slightly affected by the ex citement Incidental to the failure and fair advances resulted during the morning. The Interest of the suspended firm was small In corn , Jiowever , nnd later prices settled Iback. Fluctuations were rather small nnd itho trading limited Receipts were liberal , 015 cars. Fluctuations In September were wider than In deferred futures and sug- Kested the presence of a still considerable ehort Interest. The export business wns coed , New York reporting 4S lends engnged. December ranged from 29J29VSc to 29V5c nnd closed a shade higher at 29c bid. Sep tember ranged from 33V4o to S c and closed * Ac lower nt 3lc. Oats was also somewhat affected by the wheat flurry and prices ruled higher nil day. Some ovcning-up trades were made for the suspended llrm and shorts were fnlr buyers. Best prices did rot hold , but the market was steadv at the close. Re- ctlpts were 274 cars There was a fnlr de mand for cash. December rarged from El74o to 22Mc and closed ' /4c higher at 22Vtc. Provisions were nbouti steady all day , 'rwith little trading either way. The mar- Icot started llrm. It weakened a little later on a few sales attributed to Barrett & Far- mum , but later rallied and closed steady. The ca h demand for meats continued good. At the close January pork was a shade JowPr nt $9C2W , January lard , 2V4c higher nt $515 and. January rlba 2'AC higher nt So Q2ttfl5 05.

SulmtnnUnl llecovorr In Trice * nnil Much Unletcr TrndliiK. NCW YORK , Sept. 21. The tone of the trading In stocks was much quieter today than for ome time past. No such pressure of forced liquidation was observable as yes terday nnd several preceding days. As a result there was a very general substantial recovery In prices. There was a largo de mand from the extensive outstanding short Interest and probably thlt constituted a principal clement In the recovery : but there was nV > o a very peed absorption of some ot the railroad stock * , which had the appear- nnco of coming from largo Interests who wcro satisfied to take on stocks at the present level. IJrooklyn Transit continued to comprise a largo proportion of the deal ings nnd the cessation of pressure against It nnd other members of Its group hnd ait Important influence In the recovery In prices. A revised Interpretation of Now York's now franchise tax bill , which would bear less heavily on corporations than has been estimated , found general acceptance among speculators , The enormous polling for some time past of Brooklyn Transit ga\o color to some current rumors that the control of the property has changed to new and strong hands. Those two Influences were effective In relieving the local traction stocks from the fierce attacks to which they have been subjected for many days past and removed from the situation the most potent clement of depression. The bears made some effort to contest the advance and they found vul nerable snots In People's < 3as , Sugar , To bacco and Tennessee Coal. But their suc cess In affecting the general market wna very moderate nnd their efforts to cover In the very stocks which they had attacked helped on the late advance. In the railroad list aggressho buying first developed In Southern Pacific , but an ex cellent demand spread to other points In the list , notably the grangers , which arc all up from 1 toVi on the day. There wcro notable movements In Pullman , which rose 8 % . and Anacondas , which Jumped 4V4 points In the late dealings on the extra div idend declaration. The Chicago , Indianapo lis & Louisville stocks gained 2V4 and 2 % respectively. The Chicago Great Western stocks showed rather sensational declines , but later rose above yesterday's level ox- cent for the debentures , 'which ' arc off 4 points. London was a seller In the early dealings owing to anxiety over tomorrow's meeting of the Brltlsih cabinet , and thus aided the bears ln > the early part of the day. A fa vorable effect was exercised by the re ported purchase In London of J500.000 of gold In the open market for shipment to Now York. No trace could bo found of the destination of this shipment and foreign exchange houses maintained that gold could not yet bo Imported at a profit. Sterling exchange dropped a fraction nearer the gold Import point , but ! still well over 1 cent above that level , The call loan rate In Now York dropped late In the day , after the day's demand for money had been practically all met. But the condition of the local money market was not materially changed. A drop In Now York exchange in Chicago Indicated renewed pressure from that source for funds. Saturday's bank statement IB now expected to show the New York banks In a somewhat stronger posi tion owing to the week's largo contraction of loans , but there has been no known re plenishment of cash resources and the fu ture ot the money market depends on the prospective needs of the interior and the prospective demand from the sub-treasury for revenue payments. The bond market was flrm In tone except for a late reaction In St. Loula Southwest ern Issues. Total sales , par value , $1,256,000 ; United States 3s and old 4s , registered , de clined % and old 4s , coupon , U In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : The markets here were still hesitating today , waiting for lihe Orange Free State decision and tomor row's cabinet council. They were Idle nnd dull , but consols were steady ; Americana were neglected , the dealers playing with them ; they were steady , however , with a flrm close on New York purchases of Louls- villo & Nashville , Northern Pacific , Central Pacific and Southern Pacific. Spanish 4s were 60 % ; tlntos , 46a ; Anacondas , under 11 on the contradiction of the report of an Amalgamated Copper dividend. One hun dred thousand pounds sterling gold was taken for South America and 10,000 French coin was bought. It Is understood that 600,000 has been engaged for the Capo ; also that 100,000 was bought In the open market lost night for the United States to help the market there. Money was more lendable. The bank did nothing , avoiding paper for longer perlod'than sixty days. Silver was flat , America selling and closing weak. The Bank of Bengal has raised Its discount rate from 5 to C per cent.

From the start speculation was conducted on very heavy lines and In cluded all classes of the trado. Aided by weak Liverpool cables , the bear contingent attacked "the " market aggressively on the opening and succeeded in dislodging several Important lines of cotton purchased yester day and In tumbling- prices 236 points. Their enthusiasm was brought to a sudden end and replaced by demoralization within the first half hour and from that time on with scarcely a halt prices crept steadily upward , the top notch being 10 points over the cloge of yesterday , the upward move ment following the call resulting directly from very heavy buying orders from south ern points. The foreigners then came Into line , purchasing large blocks of January , March and May delivery of the staple. Shorts lost heart and made a wild scramble to cover , which continued all through the balance of the session. A significant feature of the day's market was .energetic buying of the near months for American spinners' account. The European buyers seemed In different as to the prices named by sellers , paying fancy figures In many cases for the grades desired. The official reports from southern markets noted still higher prices at many points , with great activity gener ally. Late cables from the English market recorded a full response to our rally. The position of local shorts was made addition ally precarious by reports that the crop movement was rapidly falling oft. The crop news was slow but satisfactory , w'hllo weather conditions were not favorable to put iypffiJ2T1S5 of-t , ! ?

The market na a whole was not changed very much. Cornfed steers on sale numbered about eighteen to twenty cars. The average quality wag not as good as yesterday and the tendency of the market was easier. Buyers seemed to feel that prices wore too high and they started out to bear the marI - I I ket right from the first. The result was a slow and easier market. Some cattle may have sold about steady , but It was hard ( work to get It. Only a few grass steers good enough for be f were on sale and they were not veiy desirable , according to buyers' reports , so that the market on that kind was aiso slow. The supply of cows was limited to a dozen or fifteen loads , but buyers were not very eager for supplies. They seemed to been on the oear side and not In any hurry to fill orders. The result was that cows and heifers were slew all the morning and the market weak. Bulls sold at steady prices. Veal calves were scarce. Stockcrs and feeders of good quality , especially cattle of good weights , were in active demand at good , strong prices. The general run of common to medium cattle sold at steady prices Speculators had a good many cattle on hand , but not many I that could be called good , and everyone was looking for that kind.

Harris-Neb. 21 cows 1006 310 HOGS Receipts of Jiogs were liberal again today as compared with the corresponding spending day of the last few weeks and the quality good. The market opened fairly ac tive at about steady prices with yesterday's market on the better grades of both light nnd heavy hogs , In spite of the rather un favorable advices from eastern markets. Sellers , however , found It difficult to get na good prices as yesterday on the rougher grades of heavyweight hogs and also on the moro common light weights , and the mar ket was quoted a little lower on these grades. Buyers ecem to bo looking moro to quality than to weight , and inclined to discriminate against common nnd rough loads. The top of the market was paid fern n load of prime lightweight hogs averaging 203 pounds that brought J4.42V4 , or 2&C higher than yesterday's top. A load of pigs weighing 75 pounds brought J3.75 , but they were of extra good quality. The market closed a trifle stronger , a fauly early clearance being made. The bulk of the sales went from Jl.27l45J-l.3j. Rough heavy hogs sold In some cases aa low as 14.26. but the better grades went mostly at $4.274.30 , with mixed loads go ing at $4.30@4.S6 and a top of S4.42& for light . . 4 30 . . 4 30 . . 4 30 . . 4 30 . . . . . . 4 30 6 290 . . . 4 27V4 < 275 SO 4 30 SHEEP Only a fe-n loads of sheep and lambs were re ] > orted In the yards this mornIng - Ing and of the number here some were sold to arrive , so that the offerings were rather light , and there were not enough of any one kind to exclto as much interest among buyers There was a good deal of sorting up to bo done , so that It was late before the sheep were ready to bo shown and late before much business hod been transacted. The market could best be described as slow and a little Inclined to drag. Feeding and stock sheep are not coming In fast enough to supply the demand , and buyers say that they have orders for a good many moro than they are getting. The market Is just as high as It has been any time this season on that kind , In fact values on feeding sheep have shown but little change so far this season.
