t TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1903. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat If&rkrt Opened Firmer, but Failure to Support Ben'. Price i Down. PRICE OF CORN Hb A WIDE RANGE Oats, fa Sympathy with Other Grains, peveloped Wtakieii and Packers Made Active but Weak Pro dare Market. CHICAGO, Sept. 24. Wheat wan steady to firm early, but turned weak anil closed with December 7r lower. Corn wan un settled, kilt tho late market was very weak; December finished lc. under yes terday. Oats ruled weak and closed Q lower, with provisions down I'kTOc. The northwest markets showed strength and Bt. Louis had better demand, and this, with relative firm cablrs, started shorts to covering. There was a fair demand for the long account. December opening about steady at Wi7ir, was bulled to 77'mc early and the general tone showed Im provement. It soon became apparent, how ever, that rhern was no outside support end general liquidation began and only ceased when the December option had re ceded to 76'ic. The weakness In corn had en Influence on wheat values and the gen eral news was bearish. Some buying on the dec'ltie, Influenced to some decree by en urgent cash demand from Minneapolis, caused part of the loss to be regained at tho close, with a steadier tone. December finished at 7SW7SHc, a loss of c. Clear ance of wheat .nd flour were equal to 178,000 bu.. with primary receipts 974.3"0 bu., egaltist 1, 374,10 bu. Inst year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 625 cars, which, with local receipts of 90 cars none of contract grade made a total for the three points of "15 cars, against 660 last week and 1,060 a year ago. There was firmness In corn at one time, and after nn early-slump prices went slightly over the opening. Commission house buying on the decline, with llaht offerings, were the Influences, and aside from these there was lltt'e to give strength to the market. I,nng holders put out large lines on the failure of crop damage reports to appear and, with lack of outside sup port, extreme weakness developed. De cember sold off to 4.".o. from 47t?i7Vc, ih hiirheut nnlnt renched on the bulare. and closed only a shade above the bottom J at 4rV 7c. a net loss or lc. . anies were a little lower and receipts fair IS3 cars, of which 43 graded contract. In sympathy with other grains nats de veloped weakness and prices broke ma terially. On the decline stop-:oss orders came out. Tho ently demand was excel lent and with offerings light a fair ad Vance was scored, but the close showed December off He at 87WTf37c. after rang ing between SSVtc and S7c. Local receipts were 94 cars. Packers were heavy sellers of provisions and the market was weak, although quite active at times. Trading consisted chiefly of covering by shorts In the nearby months and liquidation In the distant future, but f rices throughout the list ruled lower, Oc ober pork being down 70o at $12.30, with rlb 12Vc lower at $7.62 and rlba oft 10c at $9 30. .

Prices crumbled away llrst here and then (here, and the closing nhowed a re sumption of the tone of demorxllxatlon which characterized the markets of July. The break In prices was unaccounted for by any news developments. All news, whether good or bad, was Interpreted In an unfavorable way by discouraged traders. V The relief measure of the United States treasury announced yesterday, which seems to make $-'0.oo0,00O readily available to the money market, was used by the traders on the Stock exchange to Insinuate dnrk possibilities disclosed In the situation which made necessary this unexpected measure of relief. The air was full of rumors of "something overhanging the market." Diligent Inquiry In the banking community and In brokers' ofllces failed to disclose) any definite Information of this mysterious something. The persistent and urgent character of the selling gave force to the rumors and kept sentiment disturbed end nervous all day. The futility of the treasury relief measure to afford comfort to holders of securities, aa well as the prevailing low rate for money, Is a pretty reliable Indica tion that the trouble Is not with the money condition. Those who can borrow money at all can borrow It on reasonable terms. This points to the conclusion that those who are being forced Into liquidation are those who cannot borrow money on any terms, at least for employment In the projects for which they seek funds. The Consolidated Lake Superior episode Is looked upon to some extent as symptom atic. Over-extension In new enterprises whose securities It Is Impossible to float Is believed to be bringing a new crop of casualties into effect, which is reflected In the large selling of such stocks as have any market to make good these casualties. It was reported that some of the largo commission houses which have carried long standing accounts have grown tired of failures to respond to repeated calls for additional margin and have been sell ing out some very extensive accounts. United States Bteel preferred, which was the sensation of the day's market, was supposed to be affected in this way. The growing realization of the Increasing frank ness of the admissions as to the con traction In the Iron and steel ,trBde of course aggravated the weakness of this stock. All sorts of assertions were In circulation of cancellation of orders in different lines of Industry. Sales for ac count of Philadelphia and Tlttsburg were again reported to be on a large scale and were believed to be the effect In a general way of the Iron and steel trade situation. The downward plunge In Steel preferred at the last carried It to 63. where It closed at a net loss of 44. Losses nn to about J points In Baltimore ft Ohio, Reading, Union Pacific and St. Paul, which were among those most acutely affected. Losses of 1 to over 2 per cent were quite general throughout the list. The Grangers showed some early resistance, owing 'to the re ported escape from damage to the corn crop from Inst night's frost, but they shared fully In the later weakness. The anthracite carriers were weak on reports of shutting down of collieries, while the arg-iment for the selling of the bituminous carried was that the accumulation of steam sizes of anthracite threatened the extension of the soft coal trade which resulted from last year's anthracite strike. A fall In New Yor exchange at Chicago to 15 cents discount pointed to the ap proach of the currency movement to the west, while the flow to New Orleans con tinues. But these various news Items were used by the traders simply as surmises to explain the continuous liquidation, whlcn tn the widespread Impairment of credit, which makes necessary the closing out of ventures for which no fur ther support can no nun irom me unuuiTiui world. The market closed active and weak at the lowest. . 4 ... ' Bonds were wean, in syrnpanir "JM' stocks. Total sales, par value. $2,760,000. United States 2 declined 4 per cent on the last call. ...

Aa compared with the same days of last year, however, there Is still a decrease. Considering the heavy run the general mar ket was In good condition. There were Just a few cars of corn-fed steers on sa'e, and as the demand was In good shape for that class salesmen found It an easy matter -to dispose of them at steady prices. Short-fed stuff, of course, sold more or less unevenly the same as usual. There waa a big run of cows In sight this morning and the tendency on the part of packers undoubtedly wss to get their supplies for less money The best grades were not a great deal lower, but the me dium to common kinds were slow and un doubtedly a shade lower than yesterday. Bulls, veal calves and stags all fe:t tn some extent the weakness on cow stuff and common steers, and In a good many Instances sold a shade lower. There waa a large supply of atockers and feeders on sale and, although the demand from the country yesterday was fairly good the market on all but the best grades was slow and a little lower. Choice heavy cattle so'.d without much trouble at steady prices, as there were only a few answering to that description, while the big bulk of the offerings was of only fair quality. Anything good in the way of western grans beef steers sold at generally steady prices, while the medium to common stuff was slow sale and a little lower owing to the large number of cattle of that descrip tion that have been on sale this week. Range cows were also steady to a little lower, the commoner kinds suffering the most. The same was true of atockers and feeder. Representative sales: No. 14.. II.. U.. U.. 4.. tl.. At. Pr.

Light hogs were scarce and sold about steady, but hcavlca were very slow sale and 6ijl0c lower than yesterday morning, or about steady with yesterday's close.

Heavy hogs sold largely around $5.70, with Some of tne common kinds be low that figure. Medium weights sold largely around $5.75, while the lightweight went from $5.80 to $6.95.

Rib Pippin and Fall Pippin. Also there are ' Maiden Blushe and Fall Russet. But it must be ad mitted that the whole bunch are mossback from the back counties. They are afflicted with what is called fungus growth. Last year they also suffered with bitter rot but are better oft this season. They say that there la a finer growth of apples In New York state this year than usual. That Is good news here, for tha bulk of the local supply will come from the east a th Nebraska apple is a poor thing this year. These apples ars what are callod soft sorts and will meet Eva half way. The Baldwin and Greening ars the boy that can edure' the monotony of a winter passed in a chilly cellar. They will begin to fly west in about thirty days. The New Yorkers opened up at about $3.50 a barrel. A foreign-looking grape that has been seen along the row sines yesterday ha caused considerable comment Comlshona they are called and are said to come irom California. They are long and oval. Black Ferara grapes, also from the west, are about with the Comlahons. They are like the Tokays, but a little darker complex loned. The local grapes do not need to be set on by anybody this year. While they ars not as numerous as soma seasons, they are of a really gentle quality, and while not having perhaps some of the superficial graces of the Callforalans, are of sweet dispositions. The harvest of grapes is now reaching It height The prloo In eight pound covered shipping baskets ia now $2.40 per dosen, while at this time last yeaf it was about $1.50. Marphy Gets His Balloon. Samuel R. Murphy, whose aerial flight last July landed balloon and balloonist on the property of Claus Neolsen, lying adja cent to Courtland Beach, has secured the return Of his flying machine through due f rocess of law. Neelsen got out nn injunc lon to prevent Murphy trespassing on his land, and when the balloon descended flounced upon It and took possession for si eged damages. Mr. Murphy replevlned ths balloon and suit was instituted In Justice Fester's court to determine who should gain final possession. The case was taken to Justice King's court on a change of venue, and the story of Murphy's flight through the upper stratas of atmosphere and his subnequent descent on the property of Mr. Neelsen has been fully reiterated and reviewed. Murphy proved that the ve. loclly of the wind was such that he cotrtd not help landing on Neelsen's property and the balloon was awarded to him. Petty Thieves Sent to Jail. Twenty days each In the county Jail for appropriating two aledge hammers ana six chisels, the property of Mr. Albers. and then selling them back to him, was al lotted to Edward Bkold and O. B.
