THE OMAIIA DAILY HEE: FRIDAY, MARCH, 28 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Market Fall of Actiritj with Heary Trading ia All Pitt. WHEAT PALES AND STAGGERS DOWNWARD Cora and Oats At Depressed, bat ' Provlsloas Again Melt the Bammlt Wheat Belt Rains Give llran Advantage. CHICAGO, March 27. Grain experienced another day 'f heavy trading ml for a time sold at good advances. Fair weather, however, dissipated fears of crop damage snd corn shorts had comforting; assurances against the gossip of a corner In July Dorn, and declines were registered. May wheat closed 1HiUo depressed. May corn Wo lower and May oats Ho down. Pro visions again acted Independently strong and closed B&To to 66c higher. Traders who ran to cover yesterday on the reports of crop damage In winter wheat had their fears allayed soon after the opening hour. Cables were higher on the damage reports and there was a fair number of buying orders. Small north western receipts also were bullish, In their Influence: but only so long as corn held firmly did wheat keep Ha opening strength. Rains were reported over the whole wheat belt and the temperature was too mild not to be taken notice of. Statisticians re ported the growing crop aa good. If not better, than at first expected. Corn had been expected to take a de cided upturn, but was soon being sold lib erally and weakened. This gave the weather an opportunity to be felt to lis full extent and wheat grew sick and atag- rtered downward. Liquidation and stop oss orders added to the decline and bears took control. May wheat opened H'&'Ho higher at WalTc, and held there for some time. The depression took May to 71fco and In spite of liberal covering of short accounts lata In the day the close was very weak; May. WU'ltto depressed at 71714c. Some of the early buying was of very good character, but the heavy sell ing which was so prominent and broke prices was for prominent professionals. Crop damage reports continued to arrive, but were overbalanced by other reports that made bears hopeful. Borne of the weakness was dje to closing up deals over tomorrow's holiday. Liocal receipts were J9 cars, none of contract grade. Minneap olis and Duluth reported 236 cars, making a total for the three points of 255 cars, against SW6 last week and 4.10 a year ago. Argentine shipments were 840,000 bushels, compared to 384,000 bushels last week and 1.3H8.fl"i0 bushels last year. Primary re ceipts were 846,000 bushels, against 817,000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour were 373,000 bushels. The seaboard reported nothing taken for export. This point sold seven loads. Considerable strength was manlfeHted all day In corn despite the marked weakness that developed In wheat. There was also persistent selling of corn by big traders, especially by the crowd that was supposed to be trying to corner July options, but prices held well. The market was nervous and excited at times on account of rumors that an effort was being made by large eastern Interests to connect with the July campaign crowd." The heavy sell ing for profits eased prices somewhat and gave wheat a chance to break. The wheat pit In turn affected corn and May corn, after selling as high as 60Nc early In the day, lost all Its gain and dropped to 69'i Bfi'c. The weather had something of a bearish effect, but In spite of the heavy pressure brought to bear on this market, May closed only easy, ,4c lower at BH'-i'fj) 69e. Country offerings were moderate; receipts were light at UH cars. Oats had some strength at the opening, tinder the Influence of corn. They soon broke away from this lead, however, and on liberal offerings turned easy. There was a good early demand In July, which was easily accommodated, and May op tions, which were quiet, declined In sym pathy. The late weakness In wheat and the loss of the early corn advance helped depress oats late. Reports- of early seed ing and plants starting well had an added bearish influence; May sold from 43c to and closed o off at 42Hc Receipts were 96 cars. Provisions showed marked strength again, due, it is said, to active manipula tion by packers to bring prices to a higher level for the purpose of unloading their products. There was another large short line covered and generally heavy trading resulted. Hog prices were better, receipts of hogs light and a private estimate of Chicago stocks showed a decrease In lard snd an unchanged situation In pork and ribs. This, taken In view of the recent heavy run of hogs and the better prices, were considered bullish. Offerings were principally by longs who took protlts. May pork opened lOf&SOc up at 81.25S'16.a6, f rained steadily for a time and then jumped ate to $16.70, where It closed very strong, 65o above yesterday's close; May lard closed Wdl2Hc higher at J9.82V4 and May ribs 6To up at 8.87HS.90. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 106 cars; oats, 115 cars; hogs, 31.000 head. ' Note: There will be no session either on the Board of Trade or Chicago Stock ex change Friday.

The feverish and erratic speculation In Colorado Fuel oc cupied the largest share of attention on the Stock exchange today. The violent drop of 64 In the price of this stock was alleged to be due to the desires of the members of the pool to shake off a weaJt following preliminary to a renewed advance In the stock. A more logical explanation was found in the admission to the Stock exchange list for the first time today of the convertible bonds of the company. Next to Colorado Fuel the principal ac tivity wits In Amalgamated Copper, for which there was an active demand, in which brokers usually employed by Inside Interests were conspicuous. The move ment was believed to be directed against the short Interest. The attack lost most of Its gain and Colorado Fuel recovered a good part of Us loss, although It was on the downward grade at the close. An active demand for Sugar sprang up late In the day, apparently based on the advance in the price of some grades of re fined sugar. The amicable course of negotiations be tween the anthracite miners' representa tives and the operators induced a covering movement in the coalers and caused gen eral advances In the group. Reading was also helped by Its good earnings statement for February.

The demand, however, has been In good shape all the week, so that the tendency of prices has been upward on all desirable grades. There was quite a few beef steers In the yards this morning, and the market could safely be quoted strong and active. A good many sales were undoubtedly made that were btgjiOc higher than the same kinds sold for yesterday, and as compared with the close of last week prices have Im proved all the way from 104f26c. The heavy cattle are, perhaps, not more than 10(15o higher, but the nandywelght cattle have Improved 15925c. In other words, the medlumwelght cattle are selling to the best advantage. The market today waa active from start to finish, and everything was sold and weighted up In good season. The cow market was In much the same shape today that It has been for some little time past. That is, the demand Is active for the better grades, with the ten dency of prices upward, while the common and medium grades are slow sale and weak. The market today could be described as strong and active and everything de sirable was out of first hands at an early hour. As compared with the close of last week the prices paid today looked from 15c to 25c higher on the good to choice grades. Cows selling around 84. 00, how ever, were no more than steady, while the canners are, If anything, a little lower. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold at fully steady prices today, where the qual ity was good. The better grades of Btock cattle were in good demand today at strong prices, but the common grades Were neglected, the same as they have been for some time past. The demand from the country so far this week has been nothing extra, and has been confined almost entirely to the better grades.

The market, how ever, opened active and 5tol0c higher. The better Ermine iM mnailv a dime hlaher. At the orlces f-ifrrrl the hoars chanared hands rapidly and It was not long before the bulk of the offerings was out of first hands. The last end of the market though, was not as good, as packers Beemed to have their more urgent orders filled and did not seem to care whether they got what was left or not. For that reason the extreme close wu very Slo and weak. The heavy hogs sold largely from 86.45 to 3ti.60. Medium weights went from $t!.a6 to 36.45 and the lighter weight soiu irom i.35 down.
