THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1902. 8 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Market in All Department ii Inactire, Partly Dae t6 Bad Weather. WHEAT OPENS HIGHER, BUT CLOSES WEAK Mar Cora and Oats Both Prop, bat Decrease la Hoar Receipt Sends Provisions Somewhat Higher. CHICAOO. Dee. 8.-The Board of Trad wan Imu live today ami after a higher opening wheat cloned weak, with May He lower. May corn van e off, while May fiats lout 'c. Provisions were hlKhfr, Jan uary products being up from iV-c'to 15c at the clone. Trading In the wheat pit wan greatly hampered by the poor condition of the wires, news being meager and hard to ob tain. On thin account traders were In clined to hold oft, and as a result the vol ume of business was small. A feature of trading was the narrowing of the December-May spread, the opening was strong on higher cables, decreased receipts and the unfavorable weather. Receipts wire good, with buyers early, but when the oemand from that source had slaeKened there was no other support to the market and a decline followed. A sudden ad vance. In December helped the May deliv ery, but heavy realizing toward the end of the eesion caused a weak close. May r.pened VaSc to VuVfco higher at 761.1fT7fi-Sc', sold down to Thc. advancing again to 76'c, but declined to ..io, closlre Sc lower at TS'A'STBV. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 213.400 bushels. Primary re ceipts were 313,2no bufl.eis, against bushels a year ago. Minneapolis reported receipts of 6!0 cars, against iJl cars a ear ago. Local receipts were 77 cars, with 18 of contract grade. Corn ruled dull, but prices were higher earlv on decreased receipts, extremely un favorable weather throughout the entire corn belt and strong cables. A good cash demand was also a sustaining Inllucnce. There was considerable realizing at the advance, as well as a fair amount of short selling, and under these conditions the market weakened. The late decline In wheat was also a bear factor. May closed Stc lower at 43HiC, after selling between 43ijj4'1c and 424c. Local receipts were 171 cars, with 5 of contract grade. Oats were quiet, and about the only fea ture was fair selling by commission house. The market larked the flrmncrs which had prevailed the last few days and the ten dency was 'toward a lower level. May closed H" lower at Mc, after ranging between 32c and 32c. Local receipts were 12 cars. Strength prevailed In provisions. Influ enced hv a decrease In nog receipts and higher prices at the yards. Local traders iavored the buying side, but the offerings were light. There was no feature to the trading and the close was strong, witn .anuary pork up i.vc at sin.uo; January lard closed 15c higher at $9.62i. while ribs vhowed a gain of fie, closing at $8.20. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 69 cars; corn, 1) cars; oats, 195 cars; hogs, 6,noo head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Artlclea. Open. Hlgh. Low. Close.l Yery.

Dec. 3 -Prices were both above and below last night's level In to day's market. The trading, which has been strictly pro fessional for several days, was In the hands of the smaller class of traders and their operations showed increasing hesitation and uncertainty. There were occasional at tempts on the part of speculative pools to put up prices, but any considerable advance met realising sales of a sufficient volume to check the rise. The pressure to sell showed prompt relaxation at the lower level of prices, where supporting orders were also encountered. The result was a conatant shifting of the course of prices within a narrow range. There were no special features to the trading, although the recent speculative favorites maintained their prominence. There were the local tractions. St. Paul, Louisville, the Paclltcs and New York Central and several of the coalers. The movement In these was pretty consistent, the whole group moving upward or downward whenever any one stock took the lnlatlve. An advance In the price of refined sugar failed to differentiate sugar from the general movement In the list. Renewed weakness In the silver market and a reaction In the London copper mar ket from yesterday's sharp advance were reflected In American Smelting and Amal gamated Copper. The chkt repressive In fluence on the speculation was the tighten ing course of the money market. There was no money offering on call at less than 7 per cent at the opening. The rate subse quently declined as low as 6 per cent dur ing the active period of the day and to be low that before the close. Time money was distinctly firmer, 6 per 'cent being quoted for all periods up to six months, with a commission demanded for the shorter periods, which made the rate preva lent to 7 per cent. New York institutions were entirely out of the market for mer cantile paper, and even the prime grades brought 6 per cent. An additional engage ment of $500,000 In gold for South America was announced, making the total shipment today $1,000,000. This operation amounts to a diversion of the demand from South America upon the Bank of England for gold from that Institution to New York. Dis counts In Lonfon consequently eased today. Sterling exchange here held steady, but ad vanced In Paris, so that exports of gold across the Atlantic are not feasible. The treasury continues to draw upon the New York money market, the loss since Friday on that account Having reacnea 3,4M),ooo. There was deposited at the subtreasury today $200,000 for transfer to New Orleans. Chicago exchange, however, remains at par.

But It was al leged that there had been a leakage aa to the government's report of the cotton crop; this rennrt caused heavy selling and the day"s transactions were exceptionally large. At the weakest interval me decline w a matter of 18 to 24 points; this was after the announcement of the bureau crop estimate of 10,417,000 bales.

Then the market rallied quite sharply. It appeared from the Incoming reports from the spot markets of the country that they were not responsive to the speculative de cline.

As a result there were hardly enough on sale In the morning to make a market, but pack ers all seemed to have liberal orders, so that the sales that were made looked fully steady with yesterday. There were only a few cars of corn fed steers on the morning market and none that wore, verv arond. The kind that were of fered sold about steady with yesterday and the general Impression was that good cat tle would have commanded stronger prices. The cow market was a little uneven this morning, for while some salesmen thought they were getting stronger prices others thought the market no more than steady. Trading, though, was quite active, so that the cows changed hands about as fast as they arrived. The demand was general for the better grades as well as for canners. Common cornfeds were of course neglected, the same as has been the case for some time past. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In Just about yesterday's notches. There were very few stockers and feeders on sale and, although the weather was not of the kind to make the demand from the country active, the better grades of feeders sold fully steady. Common truck, though, was not wanted at any price. Western beef steers were very scarce this morning and In fact there were not enough to tell much about the condition of the market.

Some fed western ewes sold at $3.45, or the same as was paid for them yesterday, and some native ewes brought $3.50. A etrlng of western grass wethers brought $3.70. There were no very choice lambs offered, but, as packers all wanted a few. It would be safe to quote the market steady. The feeder trade was a little slow, owing probably to the bad wether, but there were only a few on the market, so that prices on anything decent held steady.

Morris ol Huron has sent out a circular letter out lining a method of procedure which will prove of great benefit to many settlers In the Black Hills forest reservation. H says that the act of March 3. 1899 (30 Stat., 1095), provides that homesteaders within the Black Hills forest reservation, Soulb Dakota, who made settlement prior to Sep tember 19, 1898, who cannot embrace their Improvements by entries according to the usual subdivisions (of which the smallest is forty acres), may secure a "metes and bounds" survey for that purpose, under certain regulations. "If such a settler deems that he has rights under the act thai cannot be se cured to him without a 'metes and bounds' survey, there is no way under the law for him to obtain consideration of them other than through an application to this office. "By the act of April 5. 1902 (32 Stat., 106), the time within which homesteadors within the reserve may file their claims In the local land offices Is extended to April 6, 1904. There thus remains only about sixteen months. Much time It needed In the usual routine of survey and platting before the triplicate plats, neces sarily antecedent to entry, can be filed In the local land office. Settlers desiring 'metes and bounds' surveys of their home steads should therefore present their ap plications at once. If they have not already done so." Snow Helps Stockmen, HOT SPRINGS, S. D., Dec. 3. (Special.) Stockmen of the Black Hills ranges are elated over the first snow ot the season, which fell today. Although the snowfall Is not heavy, stockmen say that there Is sufficient so that stock can feed back from streams and water holes, quenching their thirst by eating snow, which they do I throughout the winter. Grass along the streams Is eaten off closely during the cum mer months, while back for miles the feed is excellent. Stock Is generally In good condition and grass has matured finely, so that stockmen expect cattle to winter In good shape. THE REALTY MARKET.
