THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL fricei Scramble Up in All Piu and Day Eemarkably Bullish. hO LET UP COMES TO OPENING BOOM pall Hold TUbt Rein and Values Go ' arlns I t to Dlssy Heights, Hold ins Rlsr Gains Whfn ,.-..- CHICAGO. April 23-Bull enthusiasm whs Jsrmnunt In all speculative pita on the lioard of Trade today. The Influence was a well developed weather scare and ahorta were the sufferers. Trade waa excited In general and a tun" waa held ao tightly that when the movement got Into awing prlcea advanced with big Jumps. Wheat made gulns of from 2c to 2Vy2c, ""rn 2&c to ifce and oata 14c to 14c. May wheat closed 2Vic up, May corn 2'c higher ind iny oata lc advanced. Provisions closed Ju4il7'c to Hoc higher. Wheat went booming from the very atart. There were numerous bullish Incentives and the crowd turned bulla to a man. Ca ble atarted out atrong and advanced. Thla unexpected and atarted the upturn. Then came the crop damage acare that set ' every one buying. The ralna In the winter belt yeaterday, tnough enough to allay the heat, were exported far from sufficient to aave rrnps. Added to thla rame the weather report that lroilng temperature would probably be reached In some sections of thi! southwest tonight. Receipt alao were exceedingly light and argued rapidly de creasing stocks. Higher outalde market, specially In the aouthweat, where It whs argued the speculators had Information nearer at hand, augmented the upturn. Reports, both government and private, per flated In the advice that the crops were being badly damaged. The Miller' as sociation of Kanaaa reported the crop of that atate at a condition of 56 per cent. Indiana was said to be suffering and ad vices stated that from 30 to 25 per cent of the aown tlelda would be plowed up. There aa a lot of liquidation for profits on the early advance, but commission houae buy ing sturted renewed spurt. The wheat traders were seriously aroused over the critical condition of the crop and bought With the conviction that there was money in It. Trade waa enormous, possibly as large aa on the big bull campaign laat De cember. There was practically no time when the market waa not advancing and at lumps. May opened Vno up at 744I&75: and snared to lie, closing atrong and ex cited, 2c up, at 77c: July closed 2c up at 714.14c and September 'la advanced at 784c. Local recelpta were 26 car, and .Minneapolis and Duluth reported 109 cars, making a total for the three points of 1X5 cars, against 144 laat week and 28 a year ago. Primary receipts were 2o3.f bu., compared to 446,000 laat year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled (J9.000 bu. Cash business was good and the seaboard trade Improved. Corn had the Influence of the wheat boom to start It advancing, but the bull incen tive In thla pit was the renewed heavy buying by the big commission houses, which, It waa reported several weeks ago, were trying to corner July option. Wall street la said to be behind this crowd and as the big line were accumulated "taller" followed and bought feverishly. The local crowd bought mainly on the theory th-it a hull manipulative campaign wa on, foot. There wa considerable liquidation at time for profit and to those moments the mar ket eased a trifle. U pward spurts Immedi ately followed, however, and aa offering Were never excessive, additional gains were made. The market was atrongest at the close. The southwestern markets were even more bullish than Chicago and Influenced prices here. May opened ir4c tilgnjar at to 66c and cloaed aVaS'c higher at 66"c. Jtecelpts were only U cars.- Oata were strong throughout the session ' on the Influence of the strength in the other grain and the fear that there might be serious damage to the new crop from lack of moisture. There waa also a good cash business, which added to the strength of the futures. Trade, while not large, was of good character, receiving and commis sion house buying. Scalpers aold to some extent. Crop damage report from Iowa and elsewhere were bullish incentive. May old from 43tyc to a strong close, lHo ad vanced, at 44So: old July gained lc, clos ing at 37ViE3ic. Receipt were only 75 car. Hog product had a strong and advanc ing market, Influenced by a steady hog market and the grain bulge. Trade, how ever, wa not very active, considering 'the rapH advance made. Buying wa good, particularly by the local crowd In the way of covering. Packer sold moderately on the upturn, but supported early. The country waa on the buying side. Heavy shipments of product waa a bullish Incen tive. Lard wa particularly In good de mand. May pork closed 30c higher at J 1 ft. 75, Mav lard 17He up at $9.85 and May ribs 1Mi174c higher at 19.30. Estimated receipt for tomorrow: Wheat, 10 car: corn, 85 cars; oats, 15 cars; hogs, ai(i head.

April 23-Today's trans fers of stocks again reached an aggregate of over 1,000 shares, but the animation of tho speculation la decidedly deteriorated from the nearly 2.000,1(00 share business of Monday. There waa great variety In the dealings today, but the undertone of the market was decidedly heavy all day and the advance In some portion of the list were Insufficient to clear up the tone. The weather new from the western grain regions was the central topic of dis cussion. Prices were successfully turned upward during the dealings, the grain car riers sharing fully In the advance. In the case of Atchison the opening rise was 1, but half an hour later when trading began In the grain markets, with prices strongly advancing, these stocks gave way. The government weather map wa suffi cient evidence that yesterday's hopeful es timate of sufficient rain to undo any dam age already done were not well founded. The strong rise In the corn market alxo helped to de res stocks, notwithstanding the unllkllhood of any accurate knowledge at this time of the chances of the corn crop. There waa a renewal of the recent active demand for the coalers, the Readings again taking the lead on the supposition that the settlement of the wage dispute I im minent. When, however, It was perceived that the strength In this section of the market had little effect in checking the dribbling liquidation of western railroad stocks the movement of the coalers ceased and prices reacted lower. The strength of the sterling exchange market called renewed attention to tho Sossibillty of gold exports and revived Iscusslon of the present heavily expanded condition of credits. The provision to be made for the great steamship merger, the coming stock conversion by the United Statea Steel corporation, the provision for the purchase of the Louisville A. Nashville and the BUbscrlptlon to the Pennsylvania bond issue for $50,000,000, indicate some of the heavy requirements upon the present narrowed resources of the money market.

Packers seemed to want the f;ood kinds, so that the bulk of the ofer ngs waa out of first hands In good season. The big end of the receipts was made up of beef steers, and while the market was not particularly active, still the prlcea Raid were steady to atrong. The strength, owever, was confined almost entirely to the choicest grades, and such kinds sold freelv. The great bulk of the cattle, though, were no more than eteady, and did not sell any too freely. Most of them, though, were disposed of In good season at not far from yesterday's prices. The cow market was fairly active on good stuff, and the market was steady to strong. The prices paid today were rather uneven, so that while some sales looked strong, othera did not seem to be any more than Bteady, and still others looked a shade lower. As a general thing, however, the beet grades commanded strong prices, while the others sold In Just about yesterday's notches. A fairly early clearance was ""very little change was noticeable today In the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags. Good stuff was easy to dispose of, but the common kinds dragged, tho same as usual. ... There were very few stock cattle In the yards this morning, and aa a result prices did not show much change. The good heavy feeders or choice light cattle sold freely but the common kinds were neg lected, the same as usual. There were about 20 cars of cattle shipped to the country yesterday.

As compared with the same days of last year there Is an enormous decrease, as will be seen from the table of recelpta above. Packers started In and tried to buy the hogs a good deal lower than yesterday, but sellers held on and the market soon Improved and the bulk of the offerings sold only a shade lower than yesterday. The good weights brought right around steady prices, while the lighter loads Bold weak to 5c lower. The quality of the hogs, though, was much above the aver age, so that the market on paper looks high as compared with yesterday. The most of the heavy hogs sold from 16 90 to $7.00, while medium weights went from $.) to $.9tf, and the lighter hogs sold from $6.so down. The same as usual f lackers were very slow about buying the Ight hogB and they were left until the last. Representative sales: No. 14... 17... 16... 41... 46... 57... 40... 18... 101.. tl...

There was one car of clipped lambs that Bold for $6.30 and a car of wooled ewes that brought $5.55. Both sales looked good and strong as compared with yesterday's market. Pack ers all seemed to be anxious for supplies and had there been more good stuff here It Is safe to say that it would have brought very satisfactory prices. For the week the market can be quoted strong to a dime higher, with good stuff in active demand. There have been very few feeders on sale so far thla week, but the few that have been offered have sold readily at strong prices.
