10 TUB OMAHA BATLV BEE : WEDNESDAY , OCTOBER 25 , 1809. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL After Continnetl Sliow of Strength Wheat Finally Succumbs. INCREASE IN SUPPLY CAUSES THE REACTION ScftMnn Cln ip with it Lou * fit Tlirec- iiKlil1i.i of Out Corn nnil Ont AI < > SufTrr from the llciiltr.liiK. j , CHICAGO , Dot. 21. After ruling strong the nrcntcr part of the session today wheat finally succumbed under heavy liquidation mid December closed with a loss nf ' # % . A larger Increase In the world's visible supply than expected brought about the change In sentiment , Corn suffered from realizing nnd closed ' .lc lower , Oatg lost We Htld provisions 2Vit)5c. ) DlRappolntlng cables started wheat rather easy. The market soon began to harden , however , as shorts commenced covering from the outset , owing to reports oC con tinued drouth In the southwest , where much of the fall sown wheat has not yet germinated. Humors of a sharp break In consol.i caused further apprehension nnd as outside orders began to Hood the Pit tlio demand became so urgent that n Oie nd- Vance was added to the opening fleurcs during the first twenty minutes' trading. After that the tips ami downs wore fre quent within a rather narrow range until tlio last hour , when an Increase In the world's visible of lS7j,000 bushels , where only 2,000,000 bushels had boun expected , started liquidation nnd the market soon lost Its previous Inioyimcy. Hcports of a break In the drouth added to the Helling movement and the early gain was all lost. The market continued weak the remainder of the session and closed lit the bottom. A report that Argentine would have n. sur plus of over 80.frtO.OOil bushels for export this year had a depressing Influence during the Into trading. December opened lie lower at 70y.l70ic ? , advanced to 71"fiil'ie and declined to "O'.ic nt the close. Chicago received 231 cars. G of which -were eroded contract. Minneapolis and IJuluth sot 793 earn , compared with 1,402 the same day a year ago. Total western prlmnry receipts were 1,183,000 bushels , or GW.OOO bushels less tlinn last year. Atlantic port clearances ot wheat and Hour equaled 4DS.OOO bushels. Cash demand poor. Corn ruled strong nnd active , but had Its advancing tendency clogged somewhat by prollt-taklng. There was a soft spot early with -wheat , but poor yields ; u good cash demand and lower ocean rnto- soon started a rally. A decrease of l.OSO.OOO hushc-la In the visible gave further Impctun to the buying nnd although liquidation was con spicuously heavy near the close prices were well maintained. Cash demand good. Receipts 739 cars. December opened Vic lower at 31M 1(731 ( "ie1 , declined to Sl'dc , ad vanced to SlV&iiiSlftc and closed with buy ers at 31V4i31c. Oats ruled easy , with trade limited. Re ceipts wcro large , 412 cars , but this was offset by a decrease ot 43,000 bushels In the world's visible. December oi > enod n shade lower at 22 4c , advanced to 22S4fT227 c and declined to 22fi22-yc at the close. Too many hogs und lower prices at the yards weakened provisions nt the start. The early loss was recovered later on In the buying by packers , but tbnro was lltvle animation to the trade. Jnnunry pork closed 2i { 75c lower nt J9.40 , January lard 2',4 ' 75c lower nt J5.nOfJ5.32H : and January ribs 2 < &c lower at Jl.iW.

The stock market j as distinctly reactionary today. In spite I f some strong spots. Prodi-taking was on very largo scale. Sates on this account ere quite well absorbed nnd created no gn of demornllzntlon In prices. When the act of iiroflt-takltig became obvious some f the room traders turned bears nnd sold 10 market moderately. The bear faction as not aggressive , however , and made no real Inroads upon values. Neither wcro 10 bulls Inclined lo resume their cum- ulgii for the advance nfter having taken iclr profits and the market was Inclined o drag during the latter part of the day. omo attempt was made to Infuse strength ito the market In the last hour by bidding p Union Paclllc and Baltimore & Ohio pre- crred. Business Induced some slight overlng by shorts , but so far ns a general esumptlon of the advance was concerned 10 attempt was abortive. Prices wcro cry unsteady nt the close nnd In many nses wcro pursuing a downward course. he active realizing In the llrst hour wns much helped by a notable accession oC out do demand , which wan attracted by ycs- crday's sharp rise , following a week ot tubborn resistance to nil ntttcmnts nt riving prices downward. This demand nd continued manipulation by a section f the bull party served to wipe out pretty cncrally the opening decline and bring 10 market back to about last night's evel. tlavlnir rcnchcel that point the ownward course began and with the ox- option of some Irregular fluctuations the market continued heavy , below last night's ovel for the rest of the day. Special lolnts of weakness In the early dealings ere Sugar , American Tobacco , Mulling irefcrred , Anaconda , Pullman and Brook- yn Transit. Aggressive strength wns liown all day by United States Leather. hlch was tnkcn In enormous lots und ese at ono time to 22'ic. The closing was point below that. New York Central. , fter n small fractional advance , met very | eavy offerings on the announcement of an ddltlonul stock Issue of $15,003,000. The lock moved somewhat Irregularly during tie day , within n ranges of a point below ast night's level. The London market reflected some de- rcsslon upon this market apd the under- one there was distinctly weak on the uu- aslness regarding the position of the British troops In Natal. The suggestion f the chancellor of the exchequer that a ax. on South African gold mines might be ookcd to to help defray the expense of the vnr was apparently not relished by the peculators In the market. London sales i this market were upward of 30,00) shares. The general weakness of copper mine hares had a depressing Influence on spccii- atlon. The weakness of Anaconda on the xchnngc wns supplemented by a break In Amalgamated Copper In the outside mur- tet nnd by weakness In Boston. The. inrdonlng tendency of money was a dls- ournglng factor for the bulls. Most of the ay's call loans were made above 0 per ent and the rate rose to S per cent late In he day. Bankers generally asked ( i per ent for time loans and were disinclined to mt out their funds for the longer periods. lather less money wns shipped to the In- erlor today , but the outgo , while llmlnlshcd , still continues.

NEW YORK. Oct.21. . COTTON In to day's market for cotton future speculation was nt no time active , while fluctuations wuro restricted to a range of but G polntb. Investors manifested almost total Indiffer ence and room traders were reluctant to make a decided f.tand In favor of the con fusion of Ideas prevalent and absence of decided change in the crop situation. TOie opening was steady and prices 1 to 3 points lower , following weakness ! n Liverpool. Within the first llfteon mlnutesi last night's prices had been reached and left behind , shorts having covered In n straggling fashIon - Ion on the news that receipts would be light for the day , but by the end of the llrst hour the market had lost all Its snap and energy nnd for the rest of the session ruled uneventful , with the pit almost deserted. The btiar element drlved some comfort from unfavorable foreign news , the knowledge that the outside long Interest was a formidable obstacle to successful bull speculation and the reluctance rhown by outsiders to further load up. Favorable features of the market were bullish state ments from the cotton belt , the conllrmlng of rumors that northern spinners were seek ing supplies of raw material on a large scale and that exporters and October shorts were nlpo In thi ) market for almost mi- Imlted lines. The future market closttl very steady nt a net gain of 1 < i/ll points. NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 24.-COTTON- Steiidy ; sales , 4.030 bales ; ordinary , 53-10c ; good ordinary , 511-10 ? ; low middling.

Another - ' other thing that wao not calculated to make a good active market wns the fact that the yards were full of trash , the gen eral quality ot th ? receipts being poor. I no market on beef cattle was not to the liking of sellers. chlcaRo was reported still lower , the decline there In a little ova' a week amounting to SuftSOc , while the market lit this point hns not declined over half of that amount. The result Is that ihe buyers here are very bearish and are determined to get this market down to where prices will bo in line with other markets. There were only a few grass cattle here and they did not got much oft from them , the market being steady to a shade easier. Tc.xans sold 5c lower than the same cuttle brought yes terday. There was quite a sprinkling of cprnfed cuttle In the yard ? , and on them the buyers were especially bearish , so that 1 n ° market was not only silow but lower. 1 he market on cows and heifers v-as slow and common kinds weak. Good stuff brought about the same prices as yesterday. Good stackers and feeders were very scarce and prices not much altered , but common to medium kinds were slow and weak and It was lute before very much business was done.

The demand was very good and the market artlvi > . so that practlrally everything was disposed of In a very short time after the market opened. Even afjer tlm dixc-llno the maiket wns toj high us comp.inxl with the way hogs nlv selling In Chicago and Kansas City , but the demand wns sufllcleiilly urgent to hoid prices up. As will be noted from the sales below the hogs sold at Jl.lflil.20. Heavy hogs for the most part brought Jl.l ifl.l5 and the light hcgs (4.15il.2a , the range between light and heavy being very nar row. There wns nothing fancy heru to put such a top on the. market as the load that brought J4.30 yesterday. Representative sales : No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. Av. Sh.
