TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Built Control Affairs in Grain Fits end Advance Prices. VIDEO BY EXCESSIVE RAINS NORTHWEST "orn Shoots I p from Beneath Bioves ( Bearish Kests, bat Provisions Slide Downward with Wk Ho Situation. CHICAGO, Mny.fi. All prnlns rented to duy from yesterday's chk posit. oh anl aithotixh bulla rp not overconfident and felt their way cautiously, the clow of the veselon showed July wheat Sc higher, July rorn IfalMiC advanced and July oats Vc up. Provisions were sold freely and closed 2ft be to 15c lower. Trade In wheat wad largely the kind of an affair that might lie expected after the considerable slump on the burial of the drouth scare. The natural Inclination was to figure on a reaction and when cables chnwed no response to our slump, but rather Improved, and receipts showed a marked f a lltnaT off, prices opened somewhat higher. Th big Influence, however, was a new weather score In the news of delayed spring seeding In the northwest, because of the excessive rains. The ground northwest Is reported veritable ponds, with the rain Mill fallin. The bulls seized on this argu ment to emphasize the probability of a srreat decrease In the spring wheat ncre age. Northwestern receipts were very small and the outside markets showed good strength. Additional bullish Incentives were Bradstreet's report of a decrease of 6.974.000 bu. In the world's available supply, and the decrease of 2,0i0 bu. In the European visible. Trade In general was rather quiet and without prominent features. Hulls were cautious. July started Vfq'O to a shade up at 75M.O to "5c. advanced to 7!Wi 75c and closed firm, Sc higher, at i5Hfll 76V. Receipts wero 67 cars, 6 of con tract grade, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported only H4 cars, a total for the three points of 151 cars, against 2 last week and 214 a year ago. primary receipts were l'71,nno bu., compared with 3fi6,On) last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and Hour equaled 628.0UO bu. The seaboard reported twelve loads taken for export. Corn showed marked strength In the face of bearirh news. Firmer rabies started the early upturn and wheat strength added to the pit situation. Receipts were good and the weather In the corn belt almost Ideal. There was no disposition to sell. Reports came In from some sections of Kansas that corn there would have to be replajited, but elsewhere everything seemed favorable. The bullish factors were an Improved cash and shipping business and the position of the leading bull house. For some time there has been talk of a bull movement In Julv options and this talk was revived Just before the recent break. Vagrant rumors of "deals" In this pit have been Interpreted as bullish type and when the leading house took In stuff liberally to day the crowd tailed In and bulled prices. One cause of an absence of selling pressure waa that the break shook out much avail able stuff and deterred any response to to day's bearish news. July sold from tjo'se to a strong close, 11VC up, at 617c. Re ceipts were 209 cars. Good business In cash oats and sympathy with the advance In corn and wheat re sulted In only a fair trade In oats futures and In a barely firmer position. Crop re ports were favorable and some May stuff was sold at slightly lower prices, giving the Impression that the leading May oper ator was trying to let go some of his hold ings. July fluctuated narrowly and closed ic. higher at 36c. Receipts wero 208 cars. Provisions ruled weak. The hog situation was weaker and Influenced" the pit and out siders sold liberally. Trade was not active, but In spite of a packers' support there was a pressure put on lard that brought sym- Eathetlo weakness In pork and ribs. The eef trust agitation has made many of the traders fight shy of this pit. July pork closed 15c lower at $16.95. July lard 7t4rrl0o down at $10.07MiS 10.10 and July ribs 2'A6c lower at $9.47H. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: wheat, SO cars; corn, 80 care; oats, 155 cars; hogs, 24.000 head. The leading future ranged aa follows: Artlcles.1 Open. Hlgh. Low. Close.j Yes'y.

Stork Market Rrgslas Strength After Yesterday's Depresslnsr Factors. NEW YORK. May 6 The stock market made a remarkable showing of recuperative power today. Yesterday's nervous disturb ance growing out of the collapse of the Webb-Meyer group of stocks was entirely lacking from the outset today. That de velopment, in fact, seemed to be accepted as highly beneficial. Immense relief was professed over the weeding out which had neen accomplished of an Inflated aroun of securities, whose precarious condition must nave remained a menace to the market as long as It existed. The effect was mani fest in the oneninc dejillnss. where larire buying orders appeared well distributed inrougnout the list. Alter yesterday s test confidence has not been so general In the soundness of the market position for many weeks as It was today. The money rate continued stiff at 10 ner cent, at which rate large sums were loaned by the banks, and the rate receded only after most of the demand was satisfied. lodays clearing house exchanges were reported as $500,430,954. Only on four pre vious uccasions, an or xnem curing law, have the New York exchanges exceeded $o00.000.0ii0 for a single day. No large syn dicate transactions are known to have fig ured In the result, which may be taken, therefore, as a measure of the amount of liquidation accomplished on Friday and Saturday in the stock marHf,. The transfer of $400,000 by telegraph to New Orleans was an incident of the day. The coalers were prominent in the vigor ous upward movement, The movement In Louisville & Nashville, Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville and Illi nois Central gave color to rumors of the extension of Louisville to Chicago and the establishment of a community of Interest among the southern trunk lines. An un usually favorable batch of fourth week railroad earnings reported bv southern and southwestern railways, and further rains in soutnwestern stocks, stimulated the rise. The answer filed bv the Northern Heenrl. ties company to the government's brief was favorably regarded in Wall street aa an argument from the financial side of the de vice of securities holding companies and prompted some buying of stocks available for mergers. This was notably the case wun me unicago ureal western stocks. The market closed active and strong at uoui ma top. Tho bond market shared In the tendency toward recovery of stocks.

Ia spite of the falling off In supplies the msrket was not very active today and could not be quoted more than steady $0 strong. The offering consisted very largely this morning of beef steers and there were a number of bunches that were choice. Pack era, though, did not seem to be particularly anxious for supplies, and the great bulk of the cattle sold at just about steady prices Of course a sale would be made occasion ally that looked a trifle stronger, but such Instances were very rare ana the general steer market could best be described by caning 11 steaay. The cow market was a little more active than the trade on steers and the better grades commanded stronger prices. In fact some sales looked quite a little higher than tne same Kinas ot cattle soia tor yesier- day. The medium grades and canners did not sell any more than steady and sellers found It rather hard to Interest buyers in that class of stuff. Bulls sold In just about yesterday's notches and so also did veal calves. A bunch of stags sold at $6.00 that weighed i.o2H Dounas.

All markets were quoted lower th's morn ing and as a result prices look a drop at this point also The general market could be quoted 5',i 10c lower. The most of the prime heavy hogs sold about a nickel lower and the first .-ootid a few loads sold that were not f.tr from steady. The medium weights sold fully 511 lower and, as usuul, the light and undesirable loads were left ui Ul '.he last and they were fully 10c lower. It was not an active market at any tlrnu and, while the bulk was disposed of In fairly good season. It was late before anything like a clearance was made. The bulk of the heavy hogs sold from $7.00 to $7.15 and the medium weights went mostly from $6.95 to 17.00 and the lle-hter lnn.1. sold from $6.90 down. Representative sales: rso.

The quality of the offer ings, though, was rather Inferior and that doubtless had considerable to do with the weakness' of the market. Packers did not take hold with much life this morning and as a result a slow and lower market was experienced. All other Eolnts were also quoted lower, which gave uyers a good excuse for pounding the market here. The market as a whole was about 1016c lower on both sheep and lambs and even at the reduced prices pack ers did not seem anxious for supplies, but they claimed- that was due to the inferior quality of the offerings. The market was slow from start to finish and It was late before anything like a clearance was made.
