JIIE OMAHA DAILY KEEi SATURDAY, FKBitUAKY 15, 100L'. 10 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCI1L Chtis f Siitinuat Brine All Grain to Lowtr OlMfi WHEAT BUUI DULL' AND WEAK ALL DAY mall CHb Demand and Esnert Or- , der ana Growing Benrlsh Sen-s.- Unseat Contrlbnte to tho Decline. CHICAGO, Feb. 14. The bullish tendency of yesterday's grain market gave way to day to a change In sentiment. Wheat was weaker, largely because there was nothing to help bolster up price. Other pita fell this Influent- and May wheat closed VW Wo down, May corn o Jower and May rati c lower. Provision closed 2o to Jc down. , . ... Wheat ruled dull and weak throughout the day. Yesterday the hope of a better export business and a good short demand had strengthened the tone materially. To day there did not appear the better export demand as expected, and there waa prac tically no short demand to keep up prices. Cables at the start were a little better, but the slight gain waa soon lost. Out siders kept on the buying side of the mar ket and locals sold generally. The small cash demand and growing bearish senti ment contributed to the decline. Stop low orders were reached on the decline ana this occasioned further selling. Weather conditions were nearly perfect. Kansas City, which for some time has been the weak plank In the wheat platform, was much lower. St Louis also sold downward. The range was not large and there was some recovery toward the end of the ses sion. Msy opened a shade to fcOo lower at 78!Z37c, sold off to 78e and closed weak, i8c lower, at 78c. Local re ceipts were 29 cars, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported 289 cars, making a total for the three points of 268 cars, against 235 last week and 463 a year ago. Primary receipts were 407.000 bu compared to 4.3.O00 a year ago. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 262.000 bu. Argentina ship ments were 478.000 bu. for the week, against 8S0.000 last year. , . Corn trade was small, with a leaning mopt of the time trt the selling side. Lower cables, local selling Hnd an absence of support brought a weak tone early. The break In wheat helped press prices and after the few commission house buying or ders had been tilled the markets were down. More of a bearish feeling developed in the southwest and the markets there were lower. The southwest looks with apprf hention on the approach of spring and Its probable effect upon winter shelled corn that Is held in elevators. Local scalpers were bearlnhly Inclined and with such encouragement were free sellers. May opened quiet, but at one time touched 62 2c, yesterday's close. A sharp slump took May down to l!4c The close was weak, o lower, at 61fa62c. Receipts were 131 cars. ,. . Trade In oats waa very small and was almost featureless. There was a small early demand which strengthened the lower opening market. May advanced slightly over yesterday's close at 43c, but the drop In other grains brought a small de cline In oats. May closed easy. Ho off, at 43kO. Receipts were 228 cars. Provisions closed a little lower and easier, but there waa hot much disposition to trade either way. Hog receipt con tinued large and there was some selling credited to packers; Tbo grain weakness also affected prices. Miy pork closed 20 down at 315.87. May lard 7c lower at 19.40 and May ribs 2o down at $8.47 8 50.

Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: RuKiness continues to progress satisfac torily, notwithstanding heavy losses through the elements. The new year has been unusually handicapped In this way, floods and snow blockades being closely followed by tires and explosions, destroy ing much property and retarding traffic. It Is cnly another evidence of the solid basis upon which the Ration's Industries are established that In each case plans lor rebuilding on a grander scale were made before the shock of the catastrophe had fully passed. The labor situation has distinctly Im proved during the last week. Disputes at woolen mills were adjusted except as to the weavers; threatened disturbance In coal, mines was averted, while some rail way employes received voluntary advances In wajes. A slight decrease of 2.5 per cent In rail way earnings for the first week of Feb ruary as compared with the same week of last year was not surprising In view ot the many severe storms and the diminished movement of grain. Too Mocli Prosperity In Iron. In the lronand steel Industry It Is now being demonstrated thnt there Is such a thing as too much prosperity. During the last few years there has been such a mar velous expansion In domestic business that the capacity of furnaces and mills aa well as transportation facilities have failed to keep pace. '1 he result Is a gradual falling behind with deliveries and a tendency of buyers to send orders abroad whenever needs are urgent. One case Is now In view of steel rails to be delivered at Florida which after paying the duty will cost 8o0 more a ton than the regular market price. Yet home producers are about sold to Sep tember 16. t Pig Iron production during January was at the record-breaking rate of 1,450,000 tons, and the reduction In furnace Htocks Indi cated that consumption waa still greater. It Is remarkable that these stocks are now only 154,300 tons, against 670.531 tons on October 1. 1900, while during that time the weekly output Increased from 223,169 tons to aio,612 on February 1, 1902. Unfortu nately the present production Is below the record-breaking figures, because the recent storm disordered the freight movement ana many, iurnaces are now banked tnrougn lack or coke. Large Number of Bayers In Footwear. An unusually large number of buyers In the Boston footwear market promises much business, though there Is some hesi tation about paying the recently advanced prices. In the textile Industries there Is notable strength and activity In silk goods, dexplte a slight shading of raw silk. Liberal Jobbing distribution of dry goods has brought a gradually expanding demand, except on southern orders, which were below expectations. Stocks of cottons, lightweight woolen goods and worsted fabrics are short and deliveries are often later than the speetiied date. Print cloths advanced, but quota tions are generally strong, with tendency against buyers and many lines of woolens have been withdrawn. Higher prices were the rale in the mar kets for hading agricultural staples. In terruption to the movement by deep snow and the holiday was not sufficient ex planation of the decrease of western re ceipts of wheat' to 2,294,932 bushels, against 2,940,368 last year, or of corn to 1,361,600 bushels, compared with 4,402,639 a year ago. Prospect of Continued Strength. , If present high figures are not attractive enough to bring out a more liberal move ment there la evidence of light supplies and prospect of continued strength. On the other hand, some neutralizing Influ ences must be recognized In exports of wheat, flour Included, from all ports of the United States, aggregating only 3,429, 84) bushels, against 8,9,O60 last year, while Atlantic ports sent out but 396,076 bushels of corn, compared with 3,935,692 a year a. . Cotton . was even more vigorously ' uJ vanced, middling uplands attaining the top point of the crop year. The late improve ment will be of little benefit to producers, since only 8,000,000 bales have been mar keted and much of the balance haa been undoubtedly passed In the hands of fac tories. Failures for the week numbered 240 in the United States, against 279 lost year, and In Canada 'M, against 40 last year. BRADSTRBEl'S REVIEW OF TRADE. Demand for Mannfaernres and Indna trials Expands and Prlcea Harden. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Bradstreet'i to morrow will say: Sales for spring account, demand for manufacture and industrial operations generally are expanding, while prlcea ore hardening. Specially good reports come from the west and northwest and the lead ing eastern markets also note the growth of sales for spring. Least favorable ad vices come from the south and southwest, though Chicago notes exceptionally large buying by wholesn. . rs from those sections. Water is repurtea scarce and railways are reported hauling It loo miles. Kansas City and St. Louis, therefore, report relatively the least favorable reports for a long time past. Continued strength Is to be noted In all the cereals and flour, fractional advances being shown during the week, while prod ucts, country produce generally. Iron and steel and other metals are also quoted higher. The highest prices In years have been reached by butter and eggs a a re sult of the cold weather, which In the northern part of the country, particularly In the east, has hardened collections. Patient bulls ore at last reaping the re ward of their confidence In higher prices for the southern staple. Despite Increased receipts, visible supplies will probably show another railing on tnis week, and the heavy export movement of shipments for five months being 6 per cent larger than last year leads to claims that domestic manu facturers are not as wen supplied aa ex pected, and that manufacturers are not as wen suppuea as oeuevea. Cottons are meeting increased demands for all varieties. Print cloths are Ho higher for the week. Prints snd ginghams are weak, the latter being heavily sold ahead. and advances in staple cottons have been numerous, this latter branch of trade dis playing more animation. v uespue car snortages. wnica reauce mo- ones oi luei. cause banking oi rurnacea and prevent shipments of finished products. production anu aemana tor iron ana steel are going forward at a record-breaking rate 1 ne iron traae, in lact, appears to nave awaaenea suaaenty to tne lact that January production and presumably con sumption was the largest reported in any montn or tne year, ine present pig iron production is ciaimea to ue at a rate ot .8.000.000 tons per year. Scarcity ot pig iron, steul billets and other crude materials is ami a lea lure and high premiums are being paid for prompt de liveries. At the same time there never were so many orders on Iron manufac turers' books for future delivery, and bsr mills are sold ahead for nvs months. What orders for rails are being taken are for December delivery and structural material is tn aemana. Re-orders from agricultural Implement dealers are a feature, while among finished products wire goods are reported specially scarce. Curious fluctuations, due to exig encies aa to delivery, occur. Orders for 60, Oi O tons of rails for Mexico have been placed with an eastern manufactory, while 30,000 tons of rails for a southern railway have been placed abroad. Consumptive demand for copper seem to be Indifferent and Is weaker here and abroad. On the other band, lead is In ac five demand and higher at London and 50 cents per ton premium is demanded for auli k deliveries here.

MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AM) BONDS. Reaction I Cheeked and the Market Closes Rather Heavy. NEW YORK. Feb. 14 The reaction which developed in yesterday's stock mar ket continued this morning, but was checked during the day and a level of firlces was established substantially above ast night. The market became unsteady again and closed rather heavy. The deal Ings In Colorado Southern were on a heavy scale. The preferred . stocks were also strong. The rumor In the street to ac count for the movement Is that competition for control of the road la going on, prob ably between Union Pacific snd the Gould Interests. The Chicago A Great Western stocks rose from 1 to 2 points on reports that the company had acquired the St. Joseph A Grand Island. Southern Railway preferred rose on the belief that It Is to be placed on a 6 per cent dividend basis. The advance In Southern Paclflo was also re sumed for over a point. Amalgamated Copper was the leader of the specialties In point of activity and dropped 1 at one time. The Glucose stocks lost 2 each. Burlington, Cedar Rapids ft Northern Jumped 6 points on two transactions. , The premium and New York exchange at Chicago fell to 15c per 1,000 today, com pared with 30e premium yesterday. Bonds were again active, but the move ment of prices was Irregular. Total sales, par value, 33,645,000. Government bonds were all unchanged on the last call. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram rays: American stocks opened at above pnrltU-F. but business was slack on New York's opening. Prices sag- gea, witn Erie leaning on tne aownwnru movement. The market dislikes the freh break In Amalgamated Conner and the January decrease In American exports. Copper dlppfd, but recovered to 64, and kjo tintos closed at 4o. alter touching 46. Grand Trunk was flat on the dis appointing ulvldend. The prospectus of he Imperial Tobacco company, in opposi tion to the American combination, to be published Monday, will show a share capi tal of 15,00O,ono and debentures of 1,fcio,- 000. Tho public will be offered 3,0u0.O00 5 per cent preferred stoek and 1.000,0 X) debentures, 'ihe prospectus shows average profits of 1,000. The twenty-five directors are all practical men.

The demand on the part of packer held up In good shape and a a result a good, active market waa exnart- enced. There were comnarativelv fw ataara In. eluded In the receipts this morning and most Of those that were on sale were of rather inferior quality. Anytftlng at all desirable, however, met with ready sale at good, steady prices. As Is generally the case on that kind of a market, some Bale looked a little stronger, but still the situa tion is best described bv callina It a vood. steady market. There was also an active demand for the better grades of cow and heifer and the market could be quoted steady to strong. A offering were limited, it waa not long before all the cattle answering to that description were out of first hand. The medium grade and canners, however, did not show much of any change from yester day and packer were not particularly anxious for supplies of that character. ' There was not enough change in the puces paid for bulls, veal calve and stags to be worthy of mention. Good kind moved freely, but common stuff was neglected. There were only a few Blockers and feed ers on sale and the demand waa sufficient to take the better grade at steady price. The undesirable kinds, however, were neglected, the same as they have been for a good many weeks, and the price paid are so uneven that it' cannot be sold that there la a market for the common kind of feeder, and particularly for the light weight Stockers. Seller find It difficult to hnd a buyer for that class of stuff and usually have to take whatever he choose to offer. Representative sale: BEEF STEERo.

Tin liberal supply also gave packers a goni opportunity to pound Ihe market at thS point, as well as all others. On the star; the decline did not amount to over 6c 04 loc, but it was noticeable that pa-l.en were picking out the good weight hog while they would not even bid on the II I) stuff. That ha been the rase every da and a good many loads have been csrrli over so that today there was a large hum ber of lightweight hogs on sale. Thi heavyweight hogs sold largely from 86.0 to $6.26 and the medium weights, went fron $5.90 to 86.00. The light stuff sold fron $6.85 down. The last end of the marker was very weak and slow, as the goo4 weights had been picked out and packert did not care whether they bought the Ugh) hogs or not.
