8 THE OMAHA DAILY TIEE: FRIDAY. FETJRITAHY 27. 1903. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Strength in Com Eo;:s All Grains on Board of Trade. PRICES RISE FROM SHADE TO HALF CENT Provisions Alao Oo Ip n Short Sep ' Stiles and Baser Demand by Shorts Aaxloas to Cover Ho Hold- Inge Especially. CHICAOO, Feb. 26. The strength In corn aided. the other grains today mid higher prices prevailed. May wheat cloning a shade higher, May corn tM,c higher and oata up Hfa'ae. Provisions were strong and the May product! cloned unchanged to 12Vc higher. Wheat ruled dull throughout the day, but the market showed considerable strength, prlclpallv on the advance of corn. The northwest and other markets were firm and arrivals In the northwest much mailer than a year ago. The opening was teady on cables and May was a shade lower to ft shade higher at 77V4Ji&77,,4c. The good demand for corn early In the session atarted shorts to cover and the market he came strong, May selling u to 77c. The foreign news was still bearish and after the most nervous short had covered, and with no material support from the outside, prices weakened and the close was about ' steady, with May a shade higher at 77V. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 176.000 bu. Primary receipts were 4m,uoO bu., against 656,000 bu. a year ago. Minne apolis and Duiuth reported receipts of 2 cars, which, with local receipts of 15 cars none of contract grade made total receipts lor the three points 317 cars, against 177 cars last week and 570 cars a year ago. Higher cables caused strength In the corn pit at the opening and good buying on the light receipts, and on predictions of un settled weather, added to the early advance, the market ruling strong throughout the day. A large volume of business was transacted, but the greater portion of it was for local account, provision Interests being heavy buyers of the May option while selling July. There was a fair cash and export demand, which helped prices. The close was strong, with May H'ftViC higher at 4HVc. after selling between 46c and 46Nc The continued scarcity of con tract grade stuff was a strengthening In fluence. Of the 256 cars received none wre up to grade. Oats were helped by the strength In corn and small receipts, but the volume of trad ing was light and confined mainly to locals. The sentiment was bullish the entire day, and the close was strong and at a fair ad vance, Mny being Vi'p'iic higher at 3.c, after ranging between 3fV4e and XVf? S67c. Ical receipts were 96 cars. Provisions were active and strong, the smaller receipts of hogs and an early ad vance of from 10c to l.rc In the prices at the yards being responsible for the opening strength. There was a good demand from packers and shorts also covered freely, which, with moderate offerings, aided the advance. The close was strong, with May pork 12V,c higher at 117.36; May lard was unchanged at $9.65 and ribs were up 7Vii10c at 19.8214.

NEW YOHK 9T41CKS AD DOKD8, Market t'lnaea Lower, with Active elllna Movement la Farce. NEW YORK, F-b. 26.-After a day of In difference anil nearlect, today a stork mar ket clcred with an active selling movement In force end with the majority of active stocks from 1 to 2 points below last night. The only manifest new developments to cause this sudden weakness wss the ad journment of the St, Paul directors with out taking; action on the Issue of new stocks. As such action had not been ex pected and as there had been no extensive speculation bared on the stock Issue, the late weakness is more plausibly explained as due to a speculative weariness with tho perrlstent hanging back of prlcts. The sense of disappointment was In evidence at the opening, when it was seen that the authorised reports of the practical consoli dation of Rock Island and St. Louis & Ban Francisco were without stimulating effect on speculation. St. Louis & San Francisco, In fact, relapsed sharply to 2 below last night on comparatively light offerings and Rock Island after an advance became heavy and ruled below last night for the rest of the day. This reception accorded to the most far-reaching project of railroad consolidation since the Louisville deal seemed to be accepted as a conclusive demonstration that nothing was to be hoped lor in the way of active speculation for the prerent. The relief from the pressure of selling In Metropolitan Street Railway alle viated for a time the depressing effect of this conviction. There was a demonstration also In Wubash preferred, which carried that stock up a point In face of rumors of the Issue of an order for a strike and of the unfavorable showing of January net earnings. Some of the iron and copper stocks mnde some show of resistance to the prevailing depression, owing to favora ble trade reports, but the whole market gave way at the last and sold down rapidly until the weak closing. The uneasiness over the rapid depletion of New York bank ing reserves was slightly relieved by to day's news of the receipt of $8,000,000 In gold from Ban Francisco. But the market had to face as an offset the news of the ship ment of $75,000 in gold to Buenos Ayres. in the International exchange markets there was a relaxation of pressure all around, the private discount Tate both at London and Paris going quickly lower and giving ground for the supposition that tho reduc tion In the Bank of England's rate Is de ferred for only a week. But it is feared that further shipments will be made to Argentine from here and that Chicago will mane further demand for currency, opera tors in the market also were inclined to be discouraged about the prospect of action at this session on the Aldrtch financial bill. The stock market, which is the true index of the money market, hardened further to day and practically no business was done at lets than for periods longer than threo months. Opinion was inclined to settle down into conviction that extremely con servative banking must be the rule for tha rest of the year, and until eome new fac tor develope to relieve the aituatlon. One of the featurea of today's market was the wide concessions necessiiry to find a market for small offerings of some of the expensive high grade goods. Chicago & N-irthwestern was a notable example, the price declining 8 points on quite feverish .fluctuations. The subscription rights to the new stock sold at 13 compared with 15 on the first day they were dealt In last week.

It was to be noticed, however, that the greatest ad vance was on the good weight hogs. Pack ers looked at weight rather than at quality and the light stuff waa neglected even If the quality was good. The heavy hogs sold largely from 86.96 to 37.00, and as high as 87.05 was paid for prime heavies. The medlam WPla-hts sold from 36.90 to 86.95. while the light stuff changed hands tjlowly at pricea ranging downward from 36.90. There waa a little flurry In about the middle of the market when some of the hogs sold 1 Ofj 15c higher, but the dose waa about like the opening and everything was disposed of In good season.

The mar ket could be quoted weak to a dime lower than yesterday, or 104j.20c lower than the close of last week. Packers all seemed to be anxious1 for supplies, but they wanted to fill their orders at a lower figure. There were no good lambs on sale, but some Mexican yearlings sold at 35.80 and some wethers sold for 85.25. Ewes brought 34.60. Trading was not quite as brisk as on some previous days, but still practically every thing was disposed of In good era son. There werr a good many feeder buyers on hand this morning and It was noticed that a good many of the half-fat kinds that have been belling to packers went to feeder buyers today. That, of course, helped out the market on the short-fed stuff and pre vented a more serious break In prices.

At the highest level February and March sold at 10.10c. 10.06c bid for April, and May reached 10.09c.
