8 TI1E OMAHA DAILY ItEE: FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1903. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Drag Down All Board of Trade Products. CABLES AND GOOD RAIN LOWERS GRAIN rrovlaloe Improve a Little Late In Dart Prlee Close pt ad a Half ta Twelrt and Half Cents Dowa. CHICAGO, May 21-WhMt was weak throughout the session, closing prices being pear the low point, July allowing a loss of 1&1C. Corn opened steady, but Boon felt the Influence of wheat prices and closed bout steady nt a decline for July of H'ric. Oata showed a loss of lV'tlVtC, while pro vlalona were off 7W to lic. Weak cables and rood rain reports started the decline In wheat and many timid tonga sold out. A scarcity of ad verse crop reports helped the downward tendency and a lot of wheat came out on top-loss orders. There was fair support early and prices were steady at the open ing, with July HVaHe lower at 74Wc to 741S74ie. selling up during the Aral half to V4Vl 3c. 8n offerings became liberal, however, and there was a gradual descent, the market showing no rallying powers until near the end of the session, the low point, 7:!4c. was reached. Fair buying by the leading long prevented a further slump and the market steadied at the close, July showing a loss of lrnmc at 73c. Cash wheat was strong and receipts small. Clear ances of wheat and hour were equal to VZ3. .14 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported receipts of lai cars, which with local receipts of 11 cars, none of contract grade, made a total for the three points of & cars, sgainst 14V for the last week and 1-3 a year ago. t orn snared In the general weakness, a good deal of long property being marketed when the hearian feeling in other grains became pronounced, fit traders supported the market early and held it Arm, but there was too much corn on the market. The close was about steady at the decline, July showing a loss of Hfi'c at tc, after ranging between 44c and 4 .Sc. Trade was on a fair scale, with considerable selling by elevator houses against acceptances. '1 he cash demand was small, with country offerings showing an Increase. Local re ceipts were 1U1 cars, with 10 of contract grade. Oats show the heaviest loss In the grain pits and It was due to heavy selling by the long holders, with no-support to the market. The early sentiment was bullish, but on re ports of rains In southern Illinois and In sympathy with wheat and corn prices, broke, July closing at 33Vu S-l'iC after sell ing a shade lower at a loss off lVtalVc. Provisions were weak. Free offerings early, with but little demand, resulted In a decline through the list. A firmer feeling prevailed late today on buying by brokers at the decline, but prices were all down on weakness of hogs and In the grain markets. July pork closed at 116.70, a loss of UVic; lard was off 12WT15c at $$.92, while rlba wera off 7V4&10C at $9.26.

WEAHE GRAIX COMPANY. Omaha Branch llO-lll Board of Trade Building;, CHICAGO. May 21. WHEAT General rains where most needed, too much com pany on the buying side and sympathy with tne weakness in coarse grains nave caused the decline In wheat of from lc to 1VC under yesterday's figures. The news all had a bearish tinge and there was considerable liquidation from all sides. New York re ported offers to cancel purchases from abroad, which contributed to the heaviness. At the lowest ngures there oeveloped con siderable support, based on nothing espe cially except that It was generally consid ered that the decline waa sufficient. The opinion has been freely expressed today tnat aitogetner too mucn credit has been given the damage reports of recent' days. Two hundred and forty-five thousand bushels of northern were shipped from here. Clearances, 722,000 bushels, and 15 loads taken at New York. Minneapolis stocks show a decrease of 950.000 bushels for the last five days. Local receipts were 11 cars, with none contract; 25 cars esti mated for tomorrow. CORN-rConsiderable Increase In the country acceptances and the hedging sales against them, together with the wet weather, haa caused the bearish feeling In corn which was responsible for today s re action. Cash figures were Ho under yes terday. Receipts were 161 cars, 10 contract, and the country acceptances put around 6iXi,000. The early selling was by cash houses, but the crowd tailed on and dumped enough to help the decline. There were 8 loads taken at New York for export. Two hundred and clghty-flve cars estimated lor tomorrow. Clearances, 157,000 bushels. OATS Have been weak, off from Vic to IVic, the biggest break being In the cash market. Rain throughout southern Illi nois and the Ohio valley was the deoresnlng feature and caused a general selling of large volume. Receipts were 110 cars, with $ contract. The Price Current reported oata west of the Mississippi In a fairly good con dition. Aside from the drouth being broken there was nothing new In the way of news; 140 cars estimated for tomorrow. PROVISIONS Market opened eteadv. There was moderate buying of lard by Cudahy. Selling was scattered. Lard was again weak; looked like liquidation. Esti mated stocks In store: Pork. 17.700 barrels. decreased 400 barrels; lard, 15.750 tierces, in creased 750 tierces; ribs, 10.600,000 pounds. Increased 600, 0f) pounds from last week.

Heavy Early Drop Is Met by Orders, Which Stiffen Prices. . jontv, may zi. 1 nere was a snort, TVharp conflict between the contending ele ments In the stock market this morning with very feverish fluctuations during the first hour. The pressure to sell fairly overcame the market at one time and car ried prices to a new low record for the movement below last night. But the supporting orders, which were In evi dence on a large scale from the start, absorbed all offerings until the pressure to sell had spent Itself and the decline was effectually checked. Half the day's total transactions were done In the first hour. Afterwards there was a slow but Increas ing upward movement and the market closed firm and quite active at the top level. There was a continuance of liqui dation from the first hour as shown by the large and concentrated selling In St. Paul and the United States Steel stocks and some of the Canadian stocks which suffered In yesterday's speculative col lapse. The selling of the United States Steel stocks waa based on the somewhat equivocal tone of the weekly Iron Trade Review by an authority In that trade. A downward tendency In many branches of the trade was pointed out. The argument that an abnormal condition In Iron Is be ing abandoned by yielding prices for a more normal and therefore staple basis Is coupled with the admission that the price at which buyers and sellers will finally come together is still a puxzle. The sell ing of St. Paul was believed to be for Important Interests owing to Its volume and It waa feared that the demand of freight handlers In the northwest carried a threat of serious trouble. The weakness of Northern Securities on the curb and selling of the Burlington Joint bonds were attributed to the same cause. But the same confidence with which tho heavy offerings thrown upon the market were absorbed served to relieve the fears of a wiping out of margins and shrinkage of collaterals which have aggravated the weakness of the market for several days past. An Important factor In the support of the market was the heavy buying for London account which Is estimated all the way from 75,000 to over 100,000 shares for the day. This made itself effective not only In the stock market but In the for eign exchange market, where the appear ance of bills from the arbitrage broker age houses broke the rate some 10 points and left the possibility of further gold ex ports a matter of doubt. The reduction of the Bank of England discount rate from 4'(i3 was the basis of the improved tone of the English speculation. The weekly statement of the Bank of England with Its decrease In "other securities'' of 88. 780.000, shows that the enormous loans of last week to float the transvaal loan have practically been repaid. It shows the confhfence of the bank of ficials that the large supply of foreign capital now loaned In London will not be disturbed by allowing the Interest rate to relax. The likelihood of further de mands upon our own gold supply Is there fore diminished. Finally the decided re action In the cotton market served as a restorative of confidence and relieved the pressure of liquidation of stocks to cover losses by the shorts in cotton. The market lost much of its animation on the up ward course and the day's net advances failed to wipe out entirely yesterday's losses. But the demand was well main tained at the higher level. A feature of the day was some further wide declines In the marketing of inactive stocks. The bond market was irregular. Total aales par value, $2,660,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. The following are the quotations on the New York Stock exchange: Atrhtton do pfd Bal. Ohio do pfd i Canadian Paelfie t'antda so Thn.

NEW YORK. May 21.-COTTON-Opened easy at a aeciine or lirnis points under very weak Liverpool cables, heavy esti mated for the day's receipts and con tinued favorable weather. Following the call there was a brief period of uncer tainty, then came a rally under bull sup port which, however, was confined en tirely to the new crop options. After this came the closing Liverpool cables denoting a demoralised condition in that market with the near months net 19fa22 points lower and the later decline of 74j9 points. This brought about one of the most ex cited and heaviest realizing that this mar- aet nas ever witnessed,, in the course of ten minutes or so July had sold down to 10.80c: August. 10.62c and Sentember to 9.75c. All classes of traders seemed to be selling and the cotton; apparently was ab sorbed by certain bear Interests who found substantial nronts In the decline of over $2 a bale from Wednesday s close. -Then speculation quieted. For a time the market was comparatively Inactive. Prices fluc tuated narrowly with, the bull leaders showing Increased dintaosltlon to auDUort as they found offerings subsiding. A rally ensued which carried prices upward from 9&11 points but,' the estimated receipts for tomorrow were neavy, ine interior move ments bearish and from all points a de creasing demand for spot cotton was re ported. It was also stated that owing to the highly speculative atmosphere here surroundlncr the market spot dealers were nnuing aiiucuity in oDtaining suuaoie casn advances and this encouraged the bears who again began hammering values. The bulls became less aggressive and values gradually developed a declining tendency, the prices being forced downward, slowly at first, but with gathering rapidity to ward the end of the session and at the close they had reached a ne 1 low level for the day. The market wtis fnally Ir regular, closing easy at a net Ium of 27fi35 points, July closing at 10.70c, showed a loss of over 12 B0 a bale since last night; Aug ust closed 10.47c; September, 9.G5c; October, 9.27c, and May, H.bOc.

Buyers took hold wim much more lite than tney uid yes terday and prices were soniewiut better. Beef steers sold freely at an advance of 6410c as compared with yesterday s low market. All the packers seemed 10 be in need of quite a lew cattle und as receipts were very limited it only look a short time for everything to change hands. All kinds improved, but the greatest advance was on the handy . weights ot , good flesh and quality. There were very few cows and heifers on sale this morning and as a result talesmen experienced no dllllcuity in getting good pteauy prices for a 1 kinds. Buyers uid not show any great anxiety for supplies, but still they went around early in the morning and bought up everything in sight at yes terday's quotations. Sellers tried to get a Iittlo more, but packers were not at all in clined to advance prices. There was no particular change in the prices paid for bulls and veal calves: Any thing at all desirable sold freely at steady prices. Supplies of stockers and feeders were again very limited and the market could safely be quoted steady on anything decent. Speculatcra sold practically all the good cattle they had on hand yesterday ana as a result they all wanted lresn supplies this morning. The few cattle that did arrive changed hands free'y at fully steady prices. Representative sales. BEEF STEERS. Ho. . ft. No. At.
