THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY,' DECEMBER 31, 1902 8 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Chicago Wheat Fit Em Its Eyes on GoTern- ment'i Eeport. EXPECTED BEAR NATURE BRINGS EASE Wheat Clones Slightly Lower (or May aad Cora and Oats Also Show Light Drops, Thoof h Demaad Is Fairly Active. CHICAGO, Dec. 80. Prospects of a bear lh government report caused an easier feeling In the wheat pit today and the close was V4l4fec lower for May. tJorn was Sc lower and oats were also ufT Sc. May pro visions cloned Irom 5c to 7'nroc lower. Wheat wax only moderately active, and prices were disposed to slump off, the mar ket being especially weak early In the day, but later on a fair export demand and a decrease In the world s vlslhle supply, to gether with covering by shorts, a partial recovery followed. Quite general selling of December soon after the opening was the cause ot the break on prices, May be ing affected by the cash month. It was expected that the government report, which was made public late In the afternoon, would show u good Increase over the previ ous estimate and this tended to weaken the market. The close was easy and near the low point. May opened unchanged at 76i'(f 77c and rangeu between 7f''? :S! ana 7ic, closing fric lower at 7l'c. liradstrect's 'world s visible showed a decrease of 2.15,oO bu., compared with a decrease In the corre sponding wck last year of 313.000 bu. Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to IMMMO bu. Primary receipts were 4K6.HOO bu.. against U,tW a year ago. Minneapolis and lniluth reported receipts of 275 cars, which, with local receipts of 111 cars, with one of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 36 cars, against 417 last week snd 6 -'J a year ago. Inactivity was again manifested In corn and this fact taken in conjunction with the good weather for the grading and move ment resulted ' in an easier undertone throughout the day. Weakness in wheat was the principal bear factor, although liquidation by locals late In the session added to the general depression. The close was easy with May c lower at 43Mi'43Hc, after selling between 43it43c and Local receipts were 632 cars, with six of contract grade. Oats were fairly active and the market was quite -steady after a fractional decline arly along with other grains. There was considerable liquidation at the start, but the offerings were well taken. Commis sion houNK were the best buyers. There wss less doing In the last halt of the ses sion and the close was easier, with May c lower at 33c. after ranging between 33To and 34V'&34')kC. Local receipts were 18 cars. Provisions reflected the weakness In the situation, due to extremely heavy receipts, there be.ng 60,000 hogs posted on the ar rival sheets, and prices at the yards were lUffrl5c lower. This led to considerable sell ing early by locals and there was also a good deal of January sold by brokers, pre sumably for the account of some of the packers. There was a good demand for May lard, which helped prices. The close was steady, with May pork 7H4tlOc lower at 316.45tg 16.47V4, May lard wan off 7V4c at 83.55 and ribs were 6c lower at $8.62. Estimated receipts for tomdrrow: Wheat, E6 cars; corn, 2G0 cars; oats, 110 cars; hogs, 5,000 head. The leading futures ranged' as follows: Artlcles. Open. H!gh. Low. Close.Yesfy Wheat I I I I Dec.

Review of Operations on Stock Ex change Up to Noon, NEW YORK, Dec. SO. Prices moved downward in the opening dealings, Amal gamated Copper leading the way with a decline of V Brooklyn Transit also lost a large fraction. Sugar showed a small advance and Chicago Great Western rose V. but the preferred B stock lost 1. Busi ness was on a very small scale and there were no changes excepting a small frac tion beyond those mentioned. The scarcity of offerings on the decline checked any further short sales, and the bears bought to cover, causing a quick recovery. Sugar, -Manhattan, Brooklyn Rapid Transit were conspicuously Arm, but did not rise more than a fraction above last night. Metropolitan securities rase 4, International Pump preferred 3 and St. Joseph & Grand Island preferred lost 4. Sugar was sold freely to realize after it touched 130 and had gotten below 129 before 11 o'clock. The stiffness of the dull money rates at 12 pef cent and above did not prevent large buying of the Erie stock on account of the favorable November earnings. Other coal ers advanced In sympathy, but the sym- fiathetic responses In the Gould list was Ight. Erie rose 1 and the eecond pre ferred 1. There was an advance of about a point In Reading; Delaware & Hudson gained 3; Chicago Great Western, St. lyouis Southwestern preferred, Cleveland and Cincinnati, Chicago St St. Louie, Iowa Cen tral, General Electric and Anaconda gained a point. Bonds were Irregular. Realizations only caused a temporary check to the advance which was renewed with more confidence In all quarters. Ad vances of a point or over were numerous, while Erie and Rock Island gained 2, Erie second preferred 3 and Lackawanna 4. Iowa Central preferred also sold 2 and the United States Express 2 higher. The strength of the coal permeated the general list and .here was a more active demand for the standard railroads and nu merous specialties. The transcontinental stocks were In good demand, led by St. Paul, which reached 178. Advances else where ran from 1 to 1 for Great Northern, Union Pacific, Rock Island, Louisville, Amalgamated Copper, Manhattan,. Brook lyn Transit and some others of less promi nence.

WOOL The market has been active notwithstanding the holi day season and the situation is stronger than noted last week. Some of the largest buyers have been buying freely. Apparently the future strength of the market Is a settled fact. The situation grows .stronger from week to week, upon this point the trade being a unit. Leading houses report that as fast as they can get wool opened up and arranged It Is quickly taken up. Stocks are unusually small for the season and there has been a general cleaning up of all lots of wool which have been carried over from the previous season. It begins to look as though buyers who have not yet secured their wool will be obliged .o pay advanced prices. Territory wools are es pecially active, with prices fully sustained. Fine staple territory, 5.60c; fine and me dium fine. 50gj53c; medium, 45&47c. Texas wools have been In better request and some good sired galea, are reported.

Trading was rather slow from start to finish, as there seemed to be more cattle than packers cared for, and conse quently they took their time. The market on beef steers did not suffer as badly as might be expected owing to the fact that the bulk of the offerings con sisted of cow stuff. The kinds ot steers that Just suited the buyers sold at right around steady prices, but the general mar ket could be quoted from nearly steady to a dime lower. The bulk ot the cattle were only half fat, but still there were several loads that were In pretty good condition. The day was well advanced before a clear ance was made. The cow market was lower again this morning In the great majority of cases. The general decline amounted to about a dime, though some sales of the best grades and also some canners sold at what looked to be nearly steady prices. The medium grades have suffered the worst decline. As compared with last Friday the general market Is right close to a quarter lower. Bulls, veal calves and stags were all a little slow and weak owing to the. decline on steers and cows. There were scarcely enough atockers and feeders on band to make a market, and as speculators all wanted a few, it if afe to call the market on desirable grades strong. Common stuff Is r'lll somewhat neglected. but owing to the extremely light offerings it is an easier matter 10 dispose ot tne Inferior grades than It was a short time ago.

Packers e'arted In bidding 15c lower than esteroav and. as sellers did not see much chance of preventing the break, the hBs bcaan moving toward the scales In lalily Mod season. The bulk of the sales went from it.; to $6. 40, with a. few prime loads selling above that iigtire. The most of the henvj weights sold from $6.15 to 16 40, with the lighter loads selling from H .32 down.

SHEEP There was Just a fair run of sheep here this morning and the market on all desirable grades of killers ruled active and steady to strong. Western yearlings sold as high as 84.75, western lambs brojght 85.25 and Wethers 84 50. All the packers seemed to be anxious for supplies, so that practically everything in the yards was disposed of in good season. The common kinds, of course, did not Bell quite as readily, but still they brought as good prices ae were paid yesterday. The feeder market did not show any quotable change. . The supply was very light, eo that prices held steady.
