OMAHA, Feb. Hk 1904. Closing prlcca today In Chicago and In Omaha, were low prices with the single exception of May wheat. This milled at the eleventh hour and ended c better than the low murk. The Chicago market wh very eratlc, owing to the tlrxt operation of the new rule on wheat and the wheat pit crowd were conused lietween old and new. Thla ehang'i which make fo. i hard, wlnttr wheat contract wheut at the discount In nrlca found In the iltf ference between thla wheat and No 1, northern spring or No. i red, which have been contract la of considerable lenent to Omaha. The local market does not reach the two varieties which have been the con tract grades, so that No. 2 hard winter was the local contract grade. The change now gives Omaha contract wheat. Hy so largely Increasing the amount of wneat which may be. delivered as contract, Chi cago has made very milch mom difficult, Uih cornering of wheat. The market today was said to he Id such conditio sfter so lost a. skyrocketing that anything would cause, a depression, and the death of Senator Hnnna w;is one of the things which started the slump. isotwiihstMiiajng the fact that Liverpool opened through fear of war complication's turenglh of cargoes and scarcity of spot what fid higher, Chicago and Omaha alter opening a little higher than Mondays close, soon fell away, and began a steady decline, which ended only with the clnslnii hour. May wh?st declined lc, but rallied at the close. Chicago July wheat fell off tc, and May corn IV. Outs also felt the depression.

There was nothlna antmrent In the een- eral news to bring out tho heavy sefl.ng orders, (orelgn advices were still bullish on the cash situation.

Corn met with a gooJ demand at the) opening from local traders and for a short time the market was quite firm. The de mand was not long In filling up and when tho bres.if In wheut occurred there was a lot of long corn for sale and the market turned weak. The decline was checkel temporarily by the purchafe of l.OOiiOfl bushels by one of the leading Interests, hut as soon as this order had been flllel addi tional weakness was manifested. Foreign news was less bullish, closing Liverpool ca bles being unchanged. Tho weather was favorable for the movement, but receipts show no tendency to increase, , May opened a shade lower to "Ac higher at Wa'Wc and sold early at KOfiiWic. The c'ose was at the bottom at Mc.

Feb. ld.-The amount of business dune In stocks today was slightly larger than yesterday, but the character of the market was unchanged. All of the Increase In business was done In the first hour of the market, the sales In that time reaching almost hk many shares as for the whole day .yesterday. This business was a buying movement, largely confined to the New York public utilities and which wan without any news developed. What was regarded as an effort on the part of a party of traders to awaken the market and start the nrlces to movltiK. One or two railroad stocks were Included In the movement. It failed entirely to at tract any following and was abandoned, prices were allowed to drift slowly back to last night's level or below It when the traders took their profits. United States Steel preferred was heavy at all times and this helped to discourage tho attempts to lift prices. The selling of that stock had no other explanation than the supposition that a speculative line was being -disposed of. Amalgamated Copper also seemed to suffer from speculative profit- iaking; but hardened after the announcement of a divi dend of 310 per share on Calumet Herla, whlrh Is double the dividend of the same period last year. There was an abundance 'of war news,.! but the extraordinary military and naval activity Indicated In these market advices seems to have little effect on prices. The decline In railroad earnings ,ls a subject of much discussion. (Jross earnings for the first week In February show declines In the average and complaints by railroad offi cials of the continued stock blockades point to the continuance of this tendency,. The fact, thnt the decrease from last year's level was more than accounted for by the decline In earnings of the trunk lines and eastern railroads is a point In corroboration o the contention that storm blockades are the reason, rather than the falling off of avalluhln trafllc. But the fact that the ratio of the decline In earnings has shown s'.esdy progress since It began Inst summer makes the subject one of misgivings. The war In grain rates amongst western railroads also threaten o extend Into trunk line territory. As these disputes are In regard to tho contracts for business yet to come the uneasiness over poor showings of railroad earning Is aggravated. The bond market waa dull, hut steady. Total sales par value. $1,125,000. United Statea bonds were dull on call. Following are the quotations on the New York Stock exchange: ,.. - sales. iiign.xuw. r.

W 2 F, Collnrd, Oakland, la. R. I 1 S. P. White, Oakland, la. R. I 1 CATTLE One of the heaviest runs of cattle for the year to uat was reported this morning and besides that trains were late In arriving, it was the middle of the forenoon before buyers started out, ,,gnd they were naturally ra4her -titdaiamdont v lnir to- the fact that there fwere plenty of cattle in sight to supply all demands. Trad ing was slow, witn prices generally lower. The beef steer market could safely bo quoted generally a dime lower, with the possible exception of something which Just suited buyers, and that kind sold perhaps not much dlfTerent rrom yesteroay. i rail ing, though, was slow from start to mush, and the day waa well advanced Before any thing like a clearance waa made. The qual ity of the offerings .was again rainrr in ferior, moat of the cattle being only ghort fed. The cow market was uneven, sales going all the way from steady to a dime lower. Buyers seemed to want the cows, but they aleo wanted to buy them lower than they did yesterday. With the exception of the more desirable grades the bulk of the cattle so'.d 6iiloc lower than yesterday. The same as with steers It was late before even the bulk of the arrivals was out of first hands. Bulls were slow end a little lower, In sympathy with the decline on steers and cows. Veal calves were no mora than teady. . . ... , Th..r. was a falrlv good Inquiry for tnnUan and feeders and the better grades changed hands quite freely at steady prices and some of the best bunches may have sold a little stronger, ine same as ueuui, though, the commoner kinds wera neg lected and no more than steady.

Somo sales. In fact, were a rhade lilgher. For example, the Johnson ewes that brought $.185 yesterday sold for tt-90 today. When It came to th? commoner kinds trading was nkturally not to brisk, but still prices were not a great deal ' different from yes terday, only a few sales bring a trlflo lower. Trains wero rather slow In arnv Irtg this morning, which delayed the mar ket to some extent, but still the better grades were disposed of in good season.
