8 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, FET1RUATIY 25, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Market Weakens and Be&ra Push Pricei Down. GRAINS STRIKE LOW LEVEL WITH A BUMP Wirm Weather and Prospect of Cm reals la Plenty Are the Cinti f the Slump Provision Alio Weaken. CTT7CAOO, Feb. 24 Grain prices mum bled at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Then the bears pave them a vig orous puah and everything went down bill and slruck low level with a pretty hard bump. The warm weather and prospects of grains In plenty were the cauae or the slump. May wheat closed with a net loss of lc. May com lc and May oata lc. Provisions lost 2 to 17c. Everything In wheat waa bearish from the very start. Cables were lower, re ceipts were Improved and the weather gave promise of sunshine for some time to come. Crops were reported in excellent conditions and the farmer began to sell in a hurry. Estimates of grain receipts for tomorrow were treble what they were today. On passage stuff Increased 248,000 bushels, and world's shipments were 6.881, OHO bushels, compared with 6,111.01)0 bushels lust week and only 6.936,000 bushels a year ago. As a result the early scenes on 'change were mostly excited scrambles to unload. liquidation waa the leading fea ture. Local shorts' sales were also con siderable. The foreign demand was still very light and the demand from stock feeders wss becoming much lighter, be cause of the good weather. May opened fr0 to W&fac lower at 7777c, dropped with alacrity to 76c and hqvered for some time around that figure. Bulls had practically nothing with which to sup port the market. Covering from time to time on the breaks steadied things for awhile, and when a decrease In the visible supply of 1,020,000 bushels was posted the market strengthened a bit. Just before the close, however, the general feeling that wheat was too plentiful swept over the floor and with hardly a struggle May dropped another cent to WAc May closed , very weak, lc lower, at i675c. Lo cal receipts were 11 cars, one of contract grade; Minneapolis (three days) and Du luth reported 936 cars, making a total for the three points of 947 cars, aaglnst 666 last Monday and 626 last year. Primary receipts for two and three days were 1.056,a0 bushels, compared to 633,000 bushels last Monday and 764,000 bushels last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 229,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported 20 loads taken for export. Corn again had to contend against the same depressing Influences that neve been unnerving the bulls and adding fresh vigor to bears for a week or more. Those con sisted mostly of Increased offerings of corn from farmers and decreased demand from western feeders. At the opening cables were easier, the southwestern mar kets were very weak and fair weather was universal In the country most needing It. Receivers all reported liberal acceptances from the country of Chicago bids. In many cases at decreases. Much stuff was for sale early on hedges. May started tV8A,o down at 0VW50c, In company with wheat, and hardly paused In its downward course until it had struck 69g)694c The weak ening of the holding sentiment on the part of the farmers was reflected In the pit with a higher intensity and liquida tion of speculative holding went on at an enormous rate. Nearly every house on the floor took part in the selling, which was for both local and country account. The offerings were heaviest from those nouses that were recently on the bull side. Covering at times brought good profits, but made no apparent effect on prices. May closed very weak, lc down, at b'JVtO. Receipts were 131 cars. , Oats had a sympathetic market and slumped In company with corn. No news developed. For a time near the opening trade was excited, with heavy offering on one side of the pit and the other side al most dry. After the opening break of Siift'lc, May sold up to 43c off from Fri day's close. But the bear sentiment pre vailed, and the downward tendency was constant. Liquidation waa general from commission houses, and stop-loss orders were executed liberally. May sold off to 41c and closed weak, lc lower, at 41c. Much of the loss was due to the mild weather and promises of Increased offer ings from the west. Receipt were 94 cars. Provisions were rather dull, though bearlshly inclined., , The tone was com paratively steady, ' considering the liber ality of the hog movement and lower f -rices at the yards. The grain weakness nduced scattered selling. Offerings were taken largely by shorts in pork. Packers bought some lard and ribs and held them steady. May pork sold as low as 116.60 and closed 17c down at 115.66; May lard, lo lower at $9.37, and May ribs, 2(85c lower at $8.42. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, $5 cars; corn, 33a cars; oats, 326 cars; bogs, 17.0110 head. The leading futures ranged a follows! artlcles.l Open. High. I Low, I Close. Frl'y.

Market Slake Back Into Hondo of Pro- fesslonnl Trader. NEW YORK. Feb. 24 The stock market sank back lato the professional traders' hands todav and thera waa no imnortant movement except in a few stocks of smaller rauroans not allied to any oi tne greai systems and In some minor industrials. J he declines estab Ished for American stocks In London since the close here on Friday afternoon had to be faced at the opening. This caused a lower level at flrct than on last Friday, but prices were at no time down to ths ltnilnn narltv and they soon began to recover In spite of the sell ing on arbitrage on London account at the advance. The confidence that the su preme court would refuse Jurisdiction In Minnesota's suit against the Northern Se curities company, which has been firmly held In Wall etreet for three weeks, was unimpaired this morning and the traders did some of their buvlna on that basts. The announcement of the decision by the court failed to attract any outside demand and the efforts of the traders to take their Droflts caused a reaction in the market and an easy closing. The decision of the ad ministration to push tne case against tne Northern Securities eomnanv deDrlved the other suit of much of Its importance, but the fact remains that one possible course of proceedure against the company Is closed by this decision, and a step thus achieved toward the establishment of the company' status. It is generally felt that all possible courses of procedure will have to be met In the same way. Tne profes sionals who were on the bull side today exchanged assurances that the administra tion suit against tne company mignt oe regarded as In the nature of a friendly process to establish the true standing of that company under the law and the visit to Washington of some of the principal financiers Interested' wss regarded as a favoring factor for the outcome of the case. This sort of argument was not so convinc ing, Dut tnat tne professional traaers Kepi keenly alert to each other' movements. and when important selling to realise de veloped all turned to the selling siae. rne large street dealing's were in stocks which moved under Individual Influences. In Sugar the Influence was disappointment over the measure agreed upon by the ways and means committee from the duty on Cuban sugar. Amalgamated Copper was affected by the reported sale to it or a mine and the removal of threatened litigation. Colo rado & Southern was heavily Dousht with an advance of over a point on reports of a transfer of control. An upward movement of a number of low-priced minor railroad stocks had no other apparent cause tjban sympathy with this movement In Colorado & Southern. Tennessee Coal, was a feature at an extreme advance of 3 points on rumors or a resumption oi mvmenas. Deal ings In Southern Pacific continued large, but the movement In the Stock was small. Foreign exchange continued to advance today, influenced by London's selling of ecuritles here and the small supply of commercial exchange bills, but the local money market continued easy. Chicago, Indianapolis A Louisville advanced 3H, but relapsed nearly 6 points. The bond market showed some degree of firmness, but business wa not large, except In the Wabash debenture bs. Total sales, par value, $334,000. United State 4s, cou pons, declined and the registered ad vanced per cent on the last call. The Commercial Advertiser' London financial cablegram says: Stock were quietly steady today, pending the settle ment, save in the case of South African shares, which opened firm and then steadily sagged. The public is out of the market and Insiders are holding off, thinking that the weak element nas not yet Deen snaKen out. The American department opened weak, dreading New York' opening after the holiday, but the bull faction rallied price when New York came as a buyer, particularly of Union Pacific and Baltimore A Ohio. Saturday's South African arrival of gold has been taken for Paris. The price Is 77s 7d. The Bank of England has fixed the buying price of German coin at 76 4d. fans excnaiige is o.io.

Total 2,815 3,636 1,368 CATTLE The supply of cattle today was just about the same as it was a week ago today. Chicago, however, wa quoted considerably lower, and as a result buyers were bearish in their views at this point and did not seem to be particularly anxious for very many cattle. For that reason trade wa a little slow and the morning was well advanced before the pens were cleared. The steer market was slow in opening this morning, and as a general thing pack ers were bidding 10c lower than Friday's market. Sellers, of course, did not like to make the concessions asked, and the cattle were slow to change hands. In some cases sales were made that were not much lower, but still the bulk of the cattle sold fully 10c lower than the same kinds brought late last week. There was an active demand, however, for the better grades of cows and heifers and the market could safely be quoted steady on that class of stock. A high as $6.40 was paid today for a cow, which Is a good indication of what choice stuff will bring. Canners and medium grade of cow did not sell any too freely today, and sellers In some cases found It a hard matter to get what they considered steady prices for that class of stock. There was not enough change In the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags to be worthy of mention. There were only a few stockers and feed ers In the yards this morning, and a the demand from the country has been of good proportions the market today was active and steady to strong. Owing to the light supply of the better grades the common cattle also sold without much trouble at fully as good prices as were paid late last laat wee, itepreseniauve saiea: BEEF STEERS.

LOECHNER CASE IN COURT Defendaat'a Attorney Begin by Rals. ins; Some Technical Objec tions to TrlaL John Henry Loechner of the South Omaha school board ha fought hi flrt round Id court and it 1 up to Judge Baxter to de cide at :30 this morning whether the Indictment against Loechner and other of the board on the charge or malfeasance in office sre to stand and the case go to trial. No sooner had the Judge overruled, yes terday afternoon, the motion to quash the Indictment against James Murphy, one of the board members, than Loechner attor ney, Ed P. Smith, blocked the beginning of Loechner' trial with two technicalities of law. The first was based on section 25 of the school board! law, which provide that "all taxe collected for the benefit of the public school shall be paid in money, and shall be subject to tb order of the Board of Education." The aUorney maintained that this gave the board abso lute liberty to do with school money a It aw tit and that therefore IU alleged do nation to the firm of Cuddington A Wilcox for coal that wa never delivered waa be yond the reach of the law. The other and more important conten tion was based on section 180 of the crimi nal code, which states that for malfeasance In office a sheriff, constable, register of deeds, county commissioner, coroner, "or any ministerial officer" shall be liable to One of $200 and removal from office. The school board member are not specifically mentioned with the sheriff and others and Attorney Smith claim also that they can not be Included In the general classifica tion Implied by the clause, "any minis terial officer." He aver that Loechner, aa a member of the school board, I an execu tive or administrative officer and there fore not subject to this provision tor peii alty. If Judge Baxter shall concur in this view this morning the decision of course affect the whole board. If he does not so concur the trial will at once proceed. St. Joseph Live Stock Market. ST.
