TIIE OMAHA DAILY REE: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 9. 190.1. Big Purohn by Long Interests Earei Beiioni Ereik in Wheat CORN PRICES ARE SOM-WHAT LOWER Oats Follow Other Oral, ".homing Easier Tt and Lower Prices, . Wall Provision Are Neglected. CHICAGO, Dec. 8. Notvstthstandlng a general soluna movement today una bear ish new, both domestic ana foreign, a serious break in wheat was preventeu, the principal factor being big purcnaaes by tne leading longs. May wheat cioeed Wit lower. May corn was on Vfcc, oats wew ouwn ', whiie May provisions closed from te to lOo lower. v.ommiaslon houses were free sellers of July wheat early In the session and pit trailers sold May. The cause of the sel ling at The start was the lower tone of caolea In the strengtn exhibited here yes terday. May opened a snade to S4-V lower, at tKW&JV and on liberal onwr Ings from, local traders the price quickly dropped to 81CtT',4c. On the decline tiie luaucr or the uulis supported tne marxet, buying heavily and a steadier tone devel oped. The local crowd, however, sold lieely throughout the session, influenced to a great extent by the weaane st Minneapolis. News was of a bearish char acter, receipts In the southwest being ex tremely large and primary receipts show ing a fair increase, over those of a year ago. The Kansas crop report was. also bearish In that It showed a much larger crop than had been estimated and the con dition was but little under that of last year. The buying of the big bull operator was the feature of the day and by to day's trading he Is reported to have added l.tuO.OOO bushels to his holdings. Outside tnarketa showed losses and heipe4 depress prices hare. There was less pressure to sell late In the day and the close was steady at the decline with May off HtTHc, at &io. Clearances of wheat and Hour were equal to 610,700 bushels: Primary re ceipts were 1,219. WO bushels, against 972, 900 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Du luth and Chicago reported receipts of 836 cars, compared with 93 cars laat week and 618 cars a year ago. Corn again had a weak undertone and prices at times showed considerable loss. The continued fine weather, freer coun try offerings from Illinois and the general talk of receipts all weighed upon the mar ket and a bearish sentiment prevailed. The cash market was decidedly weak and Influenced speculative trading. A big pro vision house was supposed to have been the chief seller, while the same interest that were leaders In the wheat Pit were the best buyers. After opening unchanged to Ko lower, at WfrKi'K'MB, may oia oo- ween 42442Ho and -c, closing at 4Zfto. ,ocal receipts were 34 cars, wun oi contract grade. , Oats - traders were guided entirely by the action of the leading grains and as a result the market ruled essler.- . Trading was prlnolpully of a local character, with buying mainly by elevators, although a prominent long took some offerings. The demand was scattered. May opened He lower at 86o. sold between S6Vtf36o and WttC closing at 36c Local receipts were aue cars. ' . , Provisions," were neglected, but in the absence of offerings the market about held Its own. Packers continued to soil In a small way, but there were enough orders from commission houses to absorb the offerings and prices . fuled steady at a small decline. An easier hog-market was the cause of a small loss. May pork closed 7Wtfil0o lower, at 111.27": May lard was off 2o. at M. 47i4. and ribs were down 6c, at 86.05S8.07i4, Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 100 cars: corn, 196 cars; oats, 180 cars; hogs, 41.000 head. . , The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.!

PRICES DECLINE FAST AS ADVANCES Report el Secretary ef tha Treasary taaare Coaslderable CeslliiM Among; Regolar Dealers ta Gxrhaage Floor. NEW YORK, Dec. 8. The bull movement In storks continued In force during tha early stages of today's stock market, but tho precipitate course of the advance over ran the market and carried the average level of prices below last night. The close was eaay and without recovery. There was no news of tha day whose Influence could be perceived on the market. During the bulge of the morning there Was more ap pearance of animation and variety In the dealings than at any time heretofore. Stocks of all classes were transferred In enormous blocks and at rapidly rising prices. This great sctlvity caused skep ticism about tne market and Induced pro fessional traders, watchful for signs of a turn, to put out short lines. When the market paused after the first reaction and then started upwards again, the demand 'from those uncovered shorts helped the new advance. From the outset enormous sales to re alize were manifest In Brooklyn Transit, which was a conspicuous feature In last week's advance. Amalgamated Copper fared better, adding a point to yesterday's-5-point rise before it was seriously affected by realising. The sympathetic effect of strength In copper stocks generally in home and foreign markets and a violent advance In oopper In London helped this slock. It closed at a net loss of 1 with HnplftMl mfftt iinsin the snennlatlvA sentl ' ment generally. The failure of United 1 States Steel preferred to hold Its 1-point advance waa another strong Influence on th reaction. Reports of difficulties made . mrlfw nv.r rAftlintlnns In WftirM u 11 rt over closing down Important mills also ffected this stock. It became known today that gold waa taken In London for account of Chicago nd New Orleans to the extent of 2726,000. he renewal rates for call loans were generally marked down this morning. borne unwary borrowers were spparentiy in hope that still lower rates would pre vail. Late in the day when they at tempted to supply their needs and when the active speculation had already made arse inroads upon tne available money supply, the rate for call loans was bid up to 1 per cent witn tne urgent aemsnas 01 these belated borrowers. This flurry in call money doubtless was a potential in fluence on the reaction in stocks. The optlmlstlo view of stocks and the nances of the country taken by tne sec retary of the treasury was' reassuring. There la no doubt that confidence is greatly Increased In the future financial security of the country by the develop ments In the exchange market. Indicating the accumulation of large reserve credits abroad, beyond those met by the current mports of gold. The immediate future 01 the market Is of course largely depend ent on the character and the resources of those who bought stocks today In the tremendous outpouring to take profits on the previous rise. Buslnees In bonds waa principally in speculative Issues In which the price move ment was Irregular. Total sales, par value, were 84.636,000. United Btatea bonds were unchanged on the last call. f ollowing are the closing quotations on the New lork Stock exchange: rjales.Ulgh.Low.Close.

Xradlng waa not yery active, but, with the exception of corn-red steers, about everything waa sold without much ohange in prlot. , , Receipts lnclubed about thirty-five cars of corn-ted steers, but most of them were suort-fed stuff, tor which the demand' has been very limited all the season, in fact, buyers would hardly look at the commoner kinds and aa a result trading waa very slow, with prices uneveuly lower. Some thing right uiolce 'jnignt have sold to good advantage, but there was nothing here an swering to that description with which to make a test of the market. It waa very evident that packers did not want the warmed up and short-fed cattle and tho prlcea they effered were certainly discour aging to the oelllng interest. There was not much change In the cow market. There were about seventy-flvo cars on sale and, considering the liberal re ceipts of yesterday, as well aa today, the mark.ee neia up in very satisfactory man ner. There waa more or less tendenoy to bear the market, but the situation could best be described by quitting the market steady to a little lower. The bulk of the arrivals was disposed of In fairly good season. i Bulls, veal calves and stags commanded about steady prices, with the possible ex ception of snort corn-fed bulls, which were slow and lower, the same aa steera There were not very many etockers and feeders In the yards this morning and the market could safely be quoted steady to strong on an aeairaoie grades, common stuff could not be quoted any more than steady. The demand from the country so tar mis weea nas oeen ramer light and confined mostly to the better arradea. The few bunchee of western range steers mat wouio ao tor Killers sola at about steady prlcea Trading even on those, how ever, was not very briak.

The will be seen from bulk of the offering consisted or fed stuff, though there were quite a few western rangers. The market could be quoted about steady on the best grades, but when It came to the part fat kinds of both western graasers a well as corn-feds the market waa extremely dull and lower. In fact, salesmen found It a difficult matter to get packers to even bid on the short fed atock. very evident that they are not anxious for that kind, and aa a reault salesmen have a hard time to dispose of It. At a late hour there was still considerable short- fed stock In first hands. The demand fer feeder was also rather limited this morning. Choice bunches mlght.be quoted, about steady, but the tendency was to buy all kinds a little lower. uuoiauons lor corn-tea stoca: vnoice western lambs, o.00i&6.26; fair to good umbs, 24.6-i6.00; good to choice yearllncs. 3.aet.uu; imr to good yearnngs, u.ova. to: holes wethers, u.&a'a.oo: fair to good wethers. 83.26fi3.36: good to choice ewes, 83. 003. 26; fair to good ewea, 32.862 8.00; choice feeder lambs, 33 60(iT4.10: fair to good feeder lambs. 33.26ifr3.60: baby lambs.
