COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL OuUidfl Interest In Market Lax and' Grain Speculation Hang Apathetic LOWER CLOSINGS DEALT WHOLE LIST Bearish ilkrr RrporU Prernlent la rrrtili nnd Absence of Rapport with Ontalde Liquidation Bar den to Provision Prices. CHICAGO, Mux 19 Speculation In gTalnsfj Wss lacking IP spirit tonay ana resoivwi Itself Into a dull weather market. Local conditions prevailed In moat of the -wln- ter wheat country and In the corn and oata regions. ITices declined generally, but a later Improvement In export business brought a alight reaction and July wheat cloned only Vr. down, July corn '5Ho lower and July oata He lower. Trovla lona closed a shade to 10c down. Once more the outside Interest kept out of the wheat market and thua brought general apathy among: traders. All the Knaiiah markets were cloned becaueo of holidays, consequently, there were no ca bles to figure upon. In addition to the bearish feeling that would naturally re sult from thla dullness was the reports showing good rains all over the winter country and warm weather to help growth. Northwestern points reported more flood ing ralna In the spring country but the fcjlllsh Influence of these advlcea were off set bv the expectation that the fine weather condition in winter wheat would jnore than make up the difference Of late spring seeding. Country offerings were Increasing. St. Ixnils getting about 100, f0 bushels, mostly from Kansas. There was a most bearish feeling prevalent In the wheat pit, but the trade changed lta views on the relative; merlta of the July and September options. September ahowed 2Vfcc under July Saturday and the differ ence was narrowed to lo today by several big houses covering September short ac counts. July opened a shade lower to a hade higher at 744j474o and on a small felling pressure declined to 74Vc. Con sidering the Idleness of the foreign mar kets a remarkably strong; export demand then arose. Local sales were good and the seaboard reported 41 loada taken. This took away much of the weak tone and July milled to an easy close, 4c lower at 74V474c. Local receipts were 24 cars, 2 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Du luth reported 268 cars, making a total for the three points of 2S2 cars, against 264 last week and 353 a year ago. Primary re ceipts were 1.4i6,000 bushels, compared to 1,500,000 last year. Clearamles of wheat and flour equaled 626.0U0 bu. The visible supply decreased 1.725,000 bu.. Breadstuff a on passage Increased 6&6,0oD tbu. World's shipments were 9.404,000 bu.,' as against 7,794.000 bu last week. ' Corn ruled rather weak on the Ideal weather conditions. Country offerings were reported freer and commission house old. The greatly Increased receipts at this point predicted last week did not ma terialize, but the prospects of a better jnovement deterred the outsider from speculating and resulted In a dull trade and a general decline. Had it not been for some fair support by the leading bull manipulators the weather conditions would probably have brought a very weak mar ket. Export business waa practically at a standstill, as It haa been ever since corn worked above EOo. In sum, the sen timent was bearish but business was so listless that closing changes were only fractional. July sold at 61 He, dipped to 61c and closed WWc down at lVa6H4c. Receipts were still small at 68 cars. Oats ruled dull and easy. Crop reports were favorable, but the cash demand was -ood and sustained prices from suffering much under the Influence of the other grains. July fluctuated only o and closed easy. Ho lower, at aBc. Receipts were 190 cars. Provisions felt the) weakening Influence of outside llquldatlonand an absence of a good support. Hog prices at the yards were higher but declines were registered In all products. July pork closed lOo down t $17.26, July lard 6fro lower at $10.25, nd July ribs a shade under at 39.67Vi .7fc ' Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, HO cars; corn, 110 cars.i oata, 220 cars; hogs, 21.000 head. i The leading futures ranged as followst vArtlcles.l Open.

Depressing- Factors In Force and Market Languid and Professional. NEW YORK. Mav 19. There was a dull and professional stock market today, run ning to acute weakness at times. Cover ing bv room shorts caused some slight improvement during the final hour, but tne tone became neavy again ana ciosea so. The recent factors of depression contin ued In force, namely, the uncertainty over the effect of the anthracite miners' strike, the situation In the local money market and the crop outlook. There waa some Irregularity In the open ing dealings, and the hard and soft coal stocks made some stand against depres sion. The grain carriers, on the other hand, were weak "and made general de clines of a point or more. The reports of heavy rains In the northwest were con sidered unfavorable for spring wheat, but the weather In the southwest was good and winter wheat was reported doing well. Weakness permeated the list pretty gen erally. There was notable selling of the United States Steel stocks, which seomed to gain force when announcement was made of the several protests presented at the stock holders' meeting today against the plan for the conversion of stock and issue of bonds. The relative flrmnees of the coal stocks was due to current reports that the Na tional Clvlo Federation was still making efforts to settle the strike. The monev market waa rather easv to day as a result of the active measures taken last week to secure additional cred its abroad and from other sources than the banks. There waa a, slsnlflcant stiffening of the foreign exchange rate, which indicates thai a high level of interest rates la all that diverts credits to the New York mar ket. The opinion Is held that even a slight relaxation In Interest rates would lead to early withdrawals of good from new iora. There were some .violent relapses In prices of high-priced usually Inactive stocks, and International Power dropped back 18 points again on nominal sales. The market closed dull and heavy. oonoi were aui ana neavy throughout. Total sales, par value, $1,9!5,000, United States bonds were unchanged on the last can. , The following are the closlnar nrlcea on the New York Btock exchange: Atcblton io pM Baltimore k Ohio. do pfd 181 Bo.

There were quite a few good to choice steers Included In the receipts this morn ing, but buyers did not take hold with much life and a slow and lower market was experienced. The trouble seemed to be that Chicago was quoted lOo lower, and some reports put the decline at 1015c. Packers at this point naturally tried to buy their supplies lower, while sellers wanted steady prices because of the light receipts. The market was slow from start to finish and the prices paid looked rather uneven, so that while some sales looked right close to steady others were fully 64?loc lower than the close of last week. Although trading was slow the bulk of the offerings was out of first hands In good season. There were only a few cows and heifers here this morning, and packers took hold In much better shape than they did of th; steers. The market could safely be quoted steady to strong and fairly active. Of course the strength was confined almost entirely to the more desirable grades, but still the commoner kinds sold for fully as much, as they did last week. Bulfs, veal calves and stags showed no quotable change from last week, where the Quality was satisfactory. Stockers and feeders were very scarce this morning, and as speculators carried over very few from last week, sellers had no difficulty in getting steady to strong prices for anything that was at all gootf Representative sales: Ne. !.. 101" x Pr No. Av. rr. 118 4 00 40 1116 M :...11W 6 00 14 n "1 818 6 U 17 86 . . . .

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Natural Amphitheater at Syndicate Par Hot to Be Disturbed. SUPERIOR PLACE FOR OUTDOOR MEETINGS tloard of Edneatlon Probably Will Make lp List of Janitors at Tonight's Meeting Magic City Gossip, The Improvements in contemplation for Syndicate park may place South Omaha In a position to make a bid for all out-of-door .idling urni in mi county mis summer. That Syndicate park Is the most beautiful natural resort of lta kind In the county goes undoubted, and the natural facilities on band for the accommodation ot large crowds adds to Its attraction. It Is the plsn of the owners of this land. In building the boulevard through It. not to cut Into tbs natural amphitheater In the center. Whenever public speaking has been beld In this place the amphi theater hat been called Into requisition. It is nothing more than a deep cut In the surfaoe, surrounded by bills. In the bot tom of this "pit'' the speakers' stand has always been erected, while the people sat on tbe grassy banka of the incline, every one la the audience having a perfect view of tbe speaker. It la said that this place will be pro vided with seats, and that a permanent platform will be erected at the bottom. In this way thousands of people could be ac commodated at almost any entertainment. Owaers ot property In this vicinity are also making preparations to beautify the neighborhood. As soon as the boulevard is completed and the road to Omaha It opened, Twentieth street, heretofore prac tically unuiued. will probably become the popular driveway of the town, while the opening of O and II streets will open the way to the river, which has heretofore been a complex proposition. In all of these preparations the cltiiens are taking the utmost Interest and doing everything within their power to push tbe work to completion. If the grading through the park Is com menced at the time the land company says It will be, by July 1, the paj-k will be In complete order for any, kind of a celebra tion. Janitors on the Cnrpet. Tbe Janitors of tbe publlo schools of South Omaha will be on the carpet at the meeting of the Board ot Education this evening. At tbe last meeting the board seemed content with Its labors, after hav ing agreed upon ninety-four ot the teach ers, and while tbe janitor proposition waa raised, still It waa agreed that It had bet ter go over until this evening. What will be done Is easily guessed, from the expres sions ot tbe members of tbe bosrd hereto fore. If any of the old janitors are re talned, the number will be extremely lim ited. There are about ten teachers yet lo be elected and tbe llet will probably be filled tonight. Tbe fight In prospect will probably draw out the same large crowd ot spectators who were present at the meet-, lug of tbe board on last Monday eveUng. Cnna-bt t'p on Work. The city council baa about caught up on Its work and there Is nothing of unusual Interest In prospect at the meeting thla evening. The little speech of Councilman Adklns at last meeting regarding tbe abil ity of the council to pay for sidewalk Im provements will probably have the effect of stopping any advances along this line, ao, aside from the Introduction ot a few . new ordinances and tbe reading and dis position ot communications, but little .will. . be accomplished. Looking; After Sidewalks. Street Commissioner Miller la diligently Investigating the condition ot all of tbe sidewalks of the city and will make a sys tematic search for all defects ot - streets and alleys which may cause the city to be sued for damage. He says that within tbe course ot a month or two that It will re. quire several days' search to find a place where a damage ault can grow out. Another Pontoon Ontilt. The failure of the South Omaha Pontoon Bridge and Ferry company to successfully operate a bridge and ferryboat across tbe river at the foot of N street baa In do manner dismayed a few enthusiasts here, who claim that they will soon organise another company and that a ferry will be operated within a very short time. Those who are promoting the affair say that they will go after it In a different manner tban the defunct -company did and that tbey feel assured of success. Probably lo Street Fnlr. The business men of tbe city have not encouraged tbe efforts of tbe promoters of the proposed street fair In South Omaha this fall, and aa a rasult In all probability no entertainment ot this kind wltl be given. Tbe fair Isst year was a losing proposition for the bulk of them and they say .that more tban a year should Intervene before talking up another one. Several, however, still insist that a street fair should snd will be beld hers next September. Mario City Gossip. Buggies on Psyments. , Culver-Co. A. R. Kelly returned yesterday from a trip to Montana. Scott Kenworthy was reported very much Improved last evening. Several golf clubs will be organized In this city and match games galors are said -to be the probable result.
