10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1002. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Drain Short Trounced Bovndlj by Kanipn Ution in Viciooi Karkot. WHOLE LIST DEPRESSED AT CLOSE saaaaaaaaaaaaawaB Early Wild flank ts Cttr leads Price tpwerd, bat Holders t'a lead aad Valaee Boaad Back. CHICAGO, Aug. 22. Vicious and savage trading characterised the business on the board of Trade today. St. luli shorts In corn and wheat were punished severely. There waa nothing particularly bullish In the. early news, but yesterdays exceptional bulge In corn frightened the corn ahorts f nd at the opening there wa a wild rush o cover. After price all around bad been boosted to figures to ault the big holder, manipulation made price jump back and -forth erratically. In the and the shorts suffered, the local longs secured fancy 'profit for their holding and price closed weaker. September corn closed unchanged, December corn c lower. September wheat 'Hilttc down, September oats llHc off and September provisions suffered lossea of 10c to 20c. fit. Ivouls aborts had sent orders for heavy covering at the opening of corn. Prices would have gone easily to or more had It not been that the big longs wen competing with each other to unload on the unfortunate outsiders. This willing ness cn the part of the bulla to sll at fancy figures, however, did not prevent an excited and much higher opening. Septem ber corn started Wo to lc up at 674c. to oc and with wide fluctuations jumped to 694,0. Here big quantities came out and soon l.ouj.oOO bushels or more had been turned over to the shorts. This broke prices bwdly and aa soon as It waa thought the short Interest had been eliminated Septem ber touched 6tVc. Every bid or sale made a quick change of from "4C to lc In the market price. September trading through out the entire session was sensational. 'Influential houses hsd December for sale, but the early advances In September sus stalned the latter month. Conditions that usually rule the pit were hardly considered. There Is still a fine prospect of big har vest, cables were higher and receipts were till smnll, otherwlHSj the situation was practically unchanged. Near the close September rallied and December fell off, September closing steady and unchanged at 67c and December Tic down at 42yc. Kecelpta were only 28 cars, six of contract grade. Except that the weather map was almost perfect, moat of the early pews In wheat favored buyers. Cables were strong on the reports of frost and dry weather in Argentina. Receipt were lighter and con tract grading was very small. Above all, shorts were frightened both at the advance In wheat and the tumult In the corn pit. St. Louis waa heavily short and wanted over 1,000,000 bushels. The result was an excited opening, with September Krnc to Vfllc higher at 71T4C to 72itc. After the rush of buying orders waa over broker let go freely, the crowd followed and prices broke to 7uc. One of the factor waa the falling off In the cash demand, with Minne apolis cash premiums off 2 Ho from yester day's figure. Much of the early heavy sell ing wa by a prominent elevator concern that haa had September options congested for some time. After the whlp-aawlng procesa had shaken out many of the taller there was a fair rally. September, how ever, closed rather wealc, ht'vc down, at 71 Sc. Local receipt were 221 car, only two of contract grade, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported 296 cars, making a total for the three points of 616 cars, against SOS last week and 711 a year ago. Primary 'receipt were 1,010,000 bushels, against .1,022.000 tet year. Seaboard clearancea In wheat and flour were liberal and equaled tVm.UUU W U f, l 7 i 7. Algetitaiab 1 1 V ' ii i t T X-o vm ' 128,000 bushel, compared with 886,000 last I year. Helling ror a leading sun caused weak ness In oats. . Even the great strength tarly In wheat and corn had Utile effect nnd after a little spurt prices fell back. The motive for the sharp selling by longa waa said to be the Improving weather west and northwest, which la expected to result soon In Improving the grading. Short still wanted stuff, but when stop loss order accentuated the decline . trading fell off. September sold from 84o to 83o and closed weak, llKc down, at 83c. . Kecelpta ware 178 cars.- . . . Provision advanced early on a better hog market and outside buying. Later long unloaded generally and the liquidation caused decline in all the list. Even the unuaual advance of as much as 86c in hog and a good consumptive demand did not prevent a weak close. September pork closed 20c lower at $16.65, September lard Soo down at 810.77V, and September ribs 10a off at tl0.C2U.

Aug. 22 Tndsv'a atocV market rallied from the lethargy of the last few days. This was caused bv the liquidation in Colorado Fuel, which it was rea rea was creating a necessity to unload stocks elsewhere in the market. The an. pearance of support In that stock and Its rauy 10 more tnan a point over last night was an Important factor in reassuring sentiment and its effect was emphasized oy me reneweq strengtn in Louisville & Nashville, which was supposed to be re lated In a speculative way to the move ment in Colorado Fuel. The points of strength In the early day were somewhat scattered and might be attributed to special causes. In the late dealings the strength became more general and the market broadened out under the immediate influence of a t-potnt rise in Doumem ra-unc. me explanation or the strength In this stock was not obvious beyond the fact that the speculative leader who has made this stock a favorite of late years la now due to arrive from Europe. Ontario A Weatern continued its advance, with a rumor that it was being sought by vanaaian i-acmc tor a connecting link with New York City, thus surDlementlnz recent rumors of Canadian Pacific's pur pose to enter Chicago, which were subse quently denied. The nrmness or Western Union continued to excite remark and conlecture aa to a possible combination of telegraph interests. When Colorado Fuel made its recovery there was fairly general advances among the Independent iron and steel companies from which the United States Steel stock were conspicuous exception, the move ments of the latter being restricted to narrow tractions. Ths granger. Pacifies and Southwestern quite generally participated in the late movement in southern Pacific. The re action in the wheat market may have helped this movement. Yesterday's flurry in September corn, while without any bearing on the coming crop, is significant of the very small move ment of ths tag-end of laat year's crop, which has been reflected in late returns of gross earnings of railroads in the corn territory. The. freedom from flurry in the money market, with the demand for loans to carry over until Monday, had a reassuring effect and aroused hopes that the bank atatement tomorrow would show a strengthened con- oition. ir tnis proves to be tne case It must be by reason of loan contraction by transfer of credits to the trust companies and to foreign lenders. The interior cur rency movement seems still to be slightly In favor of New York. The sub-treasury operations which had yielded to the banks up to Wednesday evening $1,335,000, took from the banks yes terday $1,168,000, thus nearly wiping out the previous balance. The net result promises a gam in casn tor tne week or less tnan $500,000. Another transfer was made to New Orleans today of $130,000 and New York exchange at Chicago dropped to 20c discount, after having recovered to par earlier In the week. The advancing quotations for govern ment bonds are believed to be due to the expectation that the treasury may take eany steps ror tne reiier or the money market, cither by Increasing deposits with the banks or by redemption of bonds. Bonds were firm in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $1,370,000. United States refunding la. the 4a and the 8s ad- vanced Vi per cent on the last call.

This has been an eventful week, however, for receipts have been exceedingly heavy for this time of year and far in excess of the same days of laat week or of last year. Considering the large number on sale the market has held up in very satisfactory manner. So far as today's market is concerned there ia not much to be said, for the quality of the offerings was inferior. Packers were not at all anxious for what was on sale, and as a result the market was dull and weak. ' Corn cattle for the week have not shown much change where the quality wss strictly prime. The beat steers may be quoted steady, but the kinds that sell from $7 down sre lower because they come in com petition with the westerns. The cow market held up In good shape and the best grades sre very little lower. The medium grades have suffered the most, but even those have not declined more than lf15c on the average, and In extreme cases 20c. Prices ruling here have been very high as compared with other markets, and In fact the Chicago market haa been In bad shops the last few days. Common bulls have been very slow sale and lower all the week. Good fat bulls have held about steady, and so also have good dehorned feeder bulls. There has been an active demand all the week for Blockers and feeders of good qual. lty and the market may be quoted steady. The common kinds, however, are alow and 26'(i40c lower. Western range steers of good quality have sold well all the week, But still they are a little lower. Ths decline, though, would be covered by 15'g26c. Prime de. horned western feeders have held steady but the horned cattle that were lacking In quality have been a drug on the market and are a good deal lower. What might be called fairly good beef cattle that either packers or feeder buyers would take have not declined very much, but the medium grades of killers that feeder buyers did not want have slumped off in bad shape, and in some cases sre 60976a lower than they were a week ago.

Ths big bulk of the sales went st $7.00, with a sprinkling on up to 3710. The commoner grades sold below $7.00. At those price the hogs changed hands quite rapidly, but all of a sudden packers stopped buying and claimed they did not care for any more at tha prices. Sellers were not at all Inclined to cut loose at any leas thaq the morning bids and as a result tha closa wss very slow.
