10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt SATURDAY, APIUL 20, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Downpour in Grain Statei Incites Wild Day in Cereal Fits. STAMPEDE TO SELL SPURS COLLAPSE Valla Prostrated at Opening Gone anil Provisions Pot l'p Bold Front, bnt Finally Bon to Bear i lull Krndmrnt, riMCAno. April 25-Ralns In the four big surplus wheat and corn states played havoo with the price of grains on the Board of trade today and caused a commo tion for a time that resembled a stampede, - . L .1 .. .......I.,.- I. . . .. I I sell, Mil. 1'rlces fluctuated so widely and wildly that for a time a panic was reared When traders recovered their heads the pita quirted down somewhat. The bears, however, had too much the best of the srgiimmt to allow prices to recover and May wheat cloned lVVlVc lower. May corn lc down and May oats lc off. Provisions, though showing Independent strength for a time, could not withstand me pounoing in g-ralns and they closed EffT'c to 15c lower. There was a wild onenlna" In the wheat pit. Rain had fallen during, the night copi ously over Iowa, Illinois, Missouri ana Ne braska and the altuRtlon was materially relieved In Kansas. Strangely enough, the heavy downpour In this city, as usual, added fright to wheat holders, and with one accord there was a general wheat dumping press at the sound of the opening gong. Everybody seemed to have selling orders. So rapla was the decline and so Irregular the fluctuations that stop-loss orders were soon met and additional stuff was thrown Into the pit, contributing tow ard a further weaKness. npecuiators in general, big and little brokers, commission houses, scalpers ana plungers, ten ine n feet of the extremely bearish weather con riltlone following- the slump of yesterday. Of course rains were expected for a long time and trader had fortified themselves with stop-loss selling orders. Hut there waa such a quantity for sale that the break became a collapse Instead of a decline. Two million bushels were unloaded by several houses. The English cables were not re sponsive to our elump of yesterday, but they soon got Into line and closed weak. Receipts were weak and statistical papers Issued bullish reports. Another support was the apparent steadiness of the Kansas City market In the faoe of the break here. Pome traders were arguing that that mar ket should be In better position to know the truth of the situation than the present crowd. Outside markets were weak, but reports still complained of crop damage. After the early tumult prices recovered somewhat, but bearish aentlment Induced further pressure and the market weakened again. May wheat opened HSo lower, with sales ss wide apart aa 744 c to 7?c. Julv sold at the start between 7c and 75V The close was weak. May lVkfl'io lower, at 74VC, and July 114c off at X (fisS'SiC. Local receipts were M cars, none of contract grade, and Minneapolis and Puluth reported 108 cars, making a total for the three points of 134 cars, against 136 last week ami 267 a year ago. Argentine shipments were l,4H4.0a bu., compared to l.Si'C.ono last year. Primary receipts were 154.fKK) hu., against sM.noo a year ago. Sea board clearances In wheat and flour equaled 715.000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth stocks are expected to show decreases for the week, respectively, of 800,000 and 1,000.000 bu. Last week the decrease of the two markets combined was 1,200,000 bu. Corn suffered even a worse break than Wheat at the opening, slumping as much as 2Vc. Wheat sympathy and the general rains were the factors. All day the pit waa a scene of much excitement and nervous feeling. Corn was dumped freely Into the pit regardless of prices. Stop-loss orders came out all the way down and during the early scramble there was practically no support. Even the big bull crowd sold out much of their holding for profits. "Tallers" were badly squeeted. After the general selling movement had seemingly knocked the bottom out of the market there was some responsive buying and prices recov ered mc from the low point of the day. Subsequently much of tnls recovery was again lost as scalpers sold again. Country offerings of corn ware freer than they have been for some time, especially from III nols. Iowa corn also was offered In liberal quantities, hut not much from there came Into Chicago, for Kansas City was lVac over this market. St. Louis was weak. May corn opened Mo lower at 624 SI No and slumped to SlVsC. July started -4 file lower at WtftttVic and touched 62c. The close was weak, but July and May closed lc higher at 6c and 63V4C, respec tively. Receipts were 119 cars. Oats declined with the break In other grains, but the market ruled comparatively quiet. Considerable stuff was sold on stop loss orders and the effect of the ralna on the sown osts was bearish. Receipts also were heavier. Receivers and provision dealers were the best early sellers. Later there was some fair Investment buying which picked up some Of the loss. The close, however, was weak. May sold from 42c to 41S.C, reacted to 43c and closed lo lower at 424c. Receipts were 167 cars. Provisions maintained a Arm undertone the greater part of the session In spite of the weakening Influence of grains. Prices, however, slid off In the face of a light run of hogs, and the highest prices of the year at the yards. Rears made some use of the contemplated prosecutlun of the meat trust to depress prices, but packers supported the market at the decline. There was a rtood demand for products, especially for urd. July pork closed 16c lower at IU.87H. July lard t$7Hc off at 9.95 and July ribs ii7Hc down at I9.72H.

There was a rer- sistent tendency today among tne stocks or grain-carrying railroads to move In see-saw fashion with the price of grain The heavy liquidation and a violent break In prices In this morning's grain market sent prices of the grangers tip with a rush. I nlon Paclflc leading with an ad vance of 24. The movement spent Its force wnen it was seen tnai gooo nuying naa ne veloped In the grain market at e decline and that prices were rallying there from the slump caused by reporta of last night s rains and a forecast for fair weather to morrow. The whole market felt the lack of earlv aggressive leadership of Union Pacific, and during the Anal hour there waa a ragged recession, which wiped out many early gains and carried prices of Important stocks among the grangers, coalers: New York public utilities and high-priced Industrials below last night. There was a late advance In the southern group marked by very large buying of Duumem nanway at an extreme advance of 14. Louisville was lifted at the same tle 2H and Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis ville 34 over last night after erratic Auc tuations. This movement seems designed to check the decline elsewhere In the mar ket, and when It was seen to be without enect tne southern stock reacted. There was some bidding up of the grangers again at the close, which, was active and steady. There was large buying of the United States Steel stock later In the morning by brokers employed by the syndicates. This buying seemed to be In connection with the Issue of the bond circular. The stocks isacted and became dull with the rest of the market. The clroular disclosed that $35,0tio,000 of the proceeds of the bond Issue Is designed to capitalise expenditures already made for improvements and for properties purchased. The executive com- rnmee estimates that the expenditures of $25,(iO.00l) for Promised Improvements will add from $10,Or5,ooo to $15.(mo,ouo to the yearly proflts. The $5,000,000 proceeds of the sale ui me uo mis ror casn are tnus accounted for. The provision for the tin tino mm al lowed the underwriting syndicate and Its managers, J. P. Morgan & Co.. at the rate oi per cent or tne xin,ooo,ooo bond Issue, b nui iiihur clear. The American Ice stocks also mnvari it orously upward in face of the passage of me uiviuenu on ine common ana a proposi tion to Ihsjs debenture bonds based ahead of the stocks. There was a great variety of movements among the specialties. Amalgamated Cop per advanced on the conjecture that the consolidation of the Helm Interests was preliminary to their absorption. The stock mm lis BHin. Sugar waa weak on the nronns4 im it gallon of the company's Cuba holdings by a senate committee. The preliminary figures of the week's cash movement indicate receipts on balance from the Interior by the banks of upward of $2,000,000 to which Is to be added the rum or wmi.uiu on suntreasury operations, t Is expected that the nrtv nn,,i.i In the stock market may have contracted bank loans, although speculative borrow ing has been renewed and large syndicate iniTiTOcuimn may nave neen In progress The activity of the stock nirim hi verted interest from the bond market, but prices there were firmly held.

The feeling, though, was weak and as a result slow markets were experienced. Packers did not seem to be at all anxious for supplies and aa a rule they bid con siderably lower than they did yesterday. The steer market waa extremely slow this morning and It waa late before much of anything was done. Packers bid all of 6010c lower than yesterday and In some cases lOftloc lower. Sellers, of course, were holding for more money, so that trading was very slow. Packers were not at all anxious for cattle and would seldom raise their bids. The general market could safely be quoted 5010c lower on the good stuff and the coir moner grades wero worse than that. It was very late before any thing like a clearance was effected. The cow market was also slow and lower. Packers were very Indifferent buyers and the same conditions applies to the trade on cows as menuonea unove ror steers. As a rule the market was right around 6010c lower than yesterday and In some cases more. The greatest decline was on the commoner grades. ' Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show much change today where the quality was satisfactory, but If the quality was poor they were neglected and lower.

As to the probable income which may supply dividends on the stock, we quote from the speech of Mr. Marconi at the meeting of the Marconi Wireless Tele graph Co.. Ltd., held in Loudon on Feb ruary 20th last He said: 'Returning to the question of commercial working, I may mention the It Is no uncommon thing for the messages passing to and from a liner, either outward or homeward bound, to realize, apart from service messages, a sum of from 30 to 40. Upon a recent arrival of one of the American liners in home waters no less than 8,050 words were transmitted and received within the space of sixteen hours. I would point out that In each complete day of twenty four hours only that same number of words should be transmitted between two of our transatlantic stations and the supposition is, surely, not an extrav agant one that, at (id a word, would represent an annual income of over 73,000 from each pair of such stations, of which, in the first Instance, we are proceeding to install two pairs." From the directors' report submitted at that same time we quote as follows A formal agreement has also been concluded with Lloyds, whereby that corporation has adopted Marconi's sys tem exclusively In connection with their signal stations. The necessary Instru ments are now being installed at ten of their stations and these will alsov be worked for the passenger and commer- iul traffic of the Marconi International Marine Communication Company. "The chief steamship companies are also giving orders for installations on their vessels, the Cunard Line, Nord-Deutcher-Lloyd, Compagule Trausatlan- tiuiie. Beaver Line, Belgian Mall Pack ets, etc., etc., are regularly and success fully employing the Marconi system to the great satisfaction of the passengers ud of the officers of these vessels. 1 bis example will doubtless soon be followed by other steamship companies.

Bankers. system of shore stations, and by means of the agreement with Lloyds, the Mar coni system has secured a practical monopoly of mercantile marine signal ling and sea telegraphy, and the Instru ments have therefore become the stand ard instruments for the ships of all nations. It may be noted that ships fitted with the Marconi Instruments will alone, to the exclusion of all others, have the right and power of using for wire less telegraphy Lloyds and the Interna tional Shore Stations established and be ing established throughout our organiza. tion. The Instruments specially design ed for sea piirjwses are used In every day commercial work over a range of 100 miles or more and great Improve ments have been effected In other re spects." The Marconi system has been adopted by the British Admiralty and the ships of the navy are being steadily equipped, over 37 vessels having been already equipped. This Is under a contract giv ing the English company a substantial royalty, and for a ieriod of 14 years. The Marconi system has been adopted by the Italian navy, and negotiations are being carried on with various govern ments aud work is In proifress for othep engagements of an Important and bene ficial character. It Is Intended that the station at Cane Cod, now almost completed for transat lantic work, shall be equipped In the most efficient and thorough manner and Immediately. Another station Is to lie erected at once ot Montauk Tolnt for marine service. With such a revolution lu world- around communication it would lie Inad visable at the present time to make de tailed statistical estimates of the com mercial profits that are confidently ex pected, but of all wireless telegraph In ventions the Marconi alone have shown commercial value, and this company is the sole owner of all rl. hts to the Mar coni system iu the United States.
