Provisions closed Irregular, tha (September product being from HVic lower to 60 higher. There waa a big trade in wheat through out tha entire eesnlon and the Arm feel ing, which prevailed from the atart, be came decidedly strong toward the close, the final figure being at about the beat price of the day. The opening waa firm on atrong European cablea and a continued light movement, Reptember being Vie to fcc higher at SO&oHe. During the early part of the session tlie general aentlment waa bullish and the selling had a ten dency to check the upward trend of prices. After aelllng off to tOAc. Beotember be. ban to advance gradually, and toward the latter part of the session the market turned xtremely strong on good advances In the northwest markets, due to advance in the price of flour at Minneapolis. Coupled with the strong outside markets was a better export demand at tha seaboard, both of which features started shorts covering resulting in a strong close. After selling up to &!c, September closed lbrgla higher at 81c. Clearances of wheat and Hour were eauM to 316. 800 bushels. Primary re oetpta were 604,6o0 bushels, against 014.200 bushels a year ago.

The opening In corn was firm on a good scattered demand, due to higher cablea and to tha bull sentiment of yesterday but the weather In the west was reporter mora favorable for tha growing crop and the early firmness waa aoon dissipated by soiling by several commission houses. The market held rather quiet until the close when strength In wheat caused a alight rally. After ranging between BISc and I3c, September closed a shade higher at 62Vu53o. Local receipts were 110 cars, with only 10 of contract grade. Oats moved In sympathy with the lead ing gralna, although the market had some independent firmness based on reports of disappointing threshing returns and light receipts.

Local receipts were 114 mrs. provisions held fnlrly steady In spite of dull trade and liberal receipts oi nogs, with a decline of 6510o In prices at tha vnrds.

Aug. 13 The recuperative forces In the stock market gathered re sources today, with the result of a buoy ant uprise In prices on an animated Pity ing movement. The rate of activity dur ing the forenoon session promised the larg est dav's business for the current jenr. The market afterwards showed some signs of weariness at the rate of the movement. The recovery was the result of a series of Incidents rather than any one development. Reaction from the recently prevailing ex treme depression was an Important factor. J he mere sentimental eneci oi ine recov ery afler the gloom and apprenenaion tnai nave prevailed so long in vtau street win considerable. Immerse relief from the constant effort of forced liquidation or bankruptcy, which it Is not fair to assume has been hanging over some houses, naturally predisposed the whole nnanelal community to take a more cheerful view Of prospects. Where ertorts tor a long time past to market securities with al most no demsnd. has substituted a large and urgent demand for stocks and bonds of all grades today. The urgency of some of the buying and the violent advances In prices showed clearly enougti tnat enoris by distressed shorts to cover their con tracts before the rebound carried prloes beyond their reach were an Important ele ment In the market. Bidding up oi prices by opposing professionals to force higher prices out of the bears was another palpa ble Influence. But It was evident beyond this that there was a large and substan tial buying element In the market which was taking over stocks of all classes with freedom and contlder.ce. It is presumed that buyers have so suddenly changed their opinion of the financial and business out look. But the conviction has been growing that the big decline in prices has been mora than sufficient to offset the unfavor able factors In the situation and that the necessities of the money situation nave been enforcing securities below their true values. The event proves tha contention of those who have maintained that there was a large waiting demand for stocks which would come Into the market freely when the liquidation seemed to be con cluded and prices definitely turned up wards. Ths taking over of the Seaboard Air Line. In the Rock Island Interest had stimulating effect on the speculative im agination. It furnished proof that not all the large Interests were hard pressed to hold their undigested aeciirltlss and-that the securities In some quarters might prove the opportunity in others tor extending Influence and consolidating control. Rock Island itself, as well as Southern Railway. Illinois Central anfl Ijoulsvllle & Nashville all shared In the day's strength, reflecting the impression that the new arrangement tends to community of Interest In the southern railroad field. A number of stocks of minor railroads, supposedly available for absorption bv more powerful members. were strong. The feature of the day was Reading. Its sensational rise of b gave rise to many rumors regarding new projects for division of control and guarantee oi dividends. A very favorable showing of July net earnings Is expected for the road, as well as for other coalers. Baltimore & Ohio's Increase In July, net, of $311,626, thus con serving nearly half the gross increase, helped the soft coal group. ' The United States Steel stocks did not share fully in the day's strength, although they were bought on a large scale. The conference of members of the safe committee with the riresident gave rise to resumptions regard ng the scope of plans for financial legisla tion, which were used with- effect to fur ther the advancing tendency of prices. The buying movement showed some signs of ex haustion at. the last and the market closed Irregular and below the best. Bonds were strong. Total - sales; par value, $4,345,000. United State bonds were unchanged on call. . Following are tne quotations on the. New fork Stock exchange! Atchison st. rtul , do ptd M as pid Btl. Ohle... ISH'Se. FtolAo .... 43 .... US ....

The declines were In sympathy with lower Liverpool oablcs, which encouraged realtxing and perhaps some small sales for short ac count, but there was little business of any description, and shortly after the start moderate support from the clique Impart ed a firmer tone to the market, while sell ers were rendered cautious by renewed apprehensions as to the tropical storm which was again reported to be headed toward the gulf states. .

There were several loads of cornfed steers In the yards this morning and aa packers all wanted a few trading was quite active and the prices paid were generally a dime higher. The market, though, was rather uneven, so that some salea looked better than others. On the average, however, the market could safely be quoted 10c higher than yesterday s areneral market. The cow market was also a little better than yesterday. The prices paid, though. enowea more unevenness man was noticea with steers. In the majority of cases the advance would be covered by 610c. galea, men all took hold quite freely and as sup- piles were very limited the market soon came to a close. Bulls, veal calves and stags could be quoted strong In sympathy with the Im provement on steers and cows. A large proportion of the receipts this morning consisted of stock cattle, but the maricei nem rdoui sreaay. 1 ne aemana from the country yesterday was only fair ana as a result mere were sun quits a good many cattle in the hands of snecu lfltors this morning. Anv thine at all de sirable, though, waa disposed of by commis sion men at about steady prices. There were a few western cattle In the yards, but not many of them were good enough for beef. As a result a fair test of the market waa not made, but It would be safe to quote good stuff strong to a dims higher. Range cows aiso advanced 6cgioc, while the stock cattle sold In about the same notches they did yesterday. Renre. tentative s.les: No, At. Pr. No. A.

MAY SAV SOMETHING NEXT WEEK oath tide Second Ward Improvement Clak Strenuously Objects to Exclu sive Eleolrle Lighting, Taklngc Exception to Contract. President Frank Murphy Is not ready to tell what the Omaha Gas company propose to do for the city. Neither. Is ho ready to say what the Omaha Gas company proposes to do to the Omaha Electrla Light and Power company. "Really, I can't talk now," said Mr. Mur phy. "I have seen In the papers that the gas company will bo asked to submit pro posals for lighting, but we will wait for the official communication before taking up the matter. We have nearly a month In which to think over the matter. Next week per haps there wilt be gome Information to give out to the public." The first expression aa to what the people think about President Nash'a proposal to light the city exclusively by electricity at $70 per lamp was voiced by the South Side Second Ward Improvement club Wednesday night In a meeting at Snyder's hall, Eight eenth and Vinton streets. This club had nothing hut opposition to offer to the scheme. It was violently op posed by several speakers and a vote on resolutions found the members unanimous In urging the mayor and council not to make the ten-year contract. The sentiment was that no corporation should lie allowed to monopolise any particular utility of pub lic service. Object to Ten-Vear Contract. In the resolution It la specified that It be sent to the mayor and council only, should they "take the matter up seriously," show ing that the south side Second warders do not yet doubt the allegiance of the munici pal servants to the municipal ownership planks In the platforms of the last cam paign. "The most serious objection to the Nanh' proposition," said a well known citizen, "Is the' length of the contract I am given to understand that the cost of producing elec tricity la constantly cheapening.- If this be true perhaps at the end of five pr six years the city will be paying a very dear price for Its lighting. The power canal proj ect la also an element that must be taken Into consideration." There has been talk among the council men of hiring an electrical expert to com pile facta and figures concerning the' cost of manufacturing electricity In Omaha. Mortality Stattstlos.
