Competing for Wheat Prices

OMAHA. Aug. 2. 1904.
Those who expected a break in values for
wheat and other cereals because of trie con
tinued and steady up-turn were disap
pointed, with the opening It became evi
dent that the shorts were nervous and
would run to covyr, whllo the cash demand
lor grain hoth frtim millers and for export
was of n aggressive character. Jones
threw a bomb of considerable proportions
Into the ranks of the believers In lower
rice when he sent oiit his estimate of the
.'nlted Plate wheat rron at h:il.iMl.in hush-
els, simply knocking off Hio.Omi.OOO from the
crops of the more conservative forecasters.
Hut Jones has been right on wheat since It
was down In the '70s and onr right assures
a following, the more especially when you
hsve been right for weeks and months.
Not to be backward, the millers and crop
experts of the Dakota became very busy
with reports of rust and great damage to
the growing wheat. It became the fashion
to estimate damage and from all parts of
the country came the complaints. More
than this, the cables tinder the Atlantic
bore the same sweet song to the bull dam
sge to crops, no supply for the urgent de
mand, and It was even said that the Ger
man government considered It advisable to
tske off the duty on corn to make up for
the shortHKu of rodder.
All these factors onntrlbuted to the msk
1n; of prices that should simply make the
agricultural community very happy If It
have the grain to sell.
There Is much In the situation that In
satisfactory for Omaha and Nebraska. The
demand for cash wheat and other grains
here Is very urgent. There were several
millers on the fWir of the exchange this
morning and commission merchants had
plenty of orders from Interior millers,
with these the elevator men are competitors-.
Omaha prices are better than
Chicago or Kansas City and the manner
In which receipts are coming In here In
dicate that the farming Interests are be
ginning to appreciate this fact. There Is
no question of" the Omaha grain exchange
being a fixture. If has demonstrated Its
worth to Omaha and the state.
The clnMng was with a full head of
steam on. And with wheat, corn and oats
St near outside prices of the day. The
hlrfh figures -lookr tempting, but the news
of the day served -as a-check on the selling
proclivities of the speculative element, and
it apologised for Its timidity by buying
puts on the curb market.
The gains of the day In Chicago showed
wheat 2Vi tot 8 cents a bushel hlpher: corn
S cent betterand oats 1H up. The govern
ment crop . report furnished a ..little en
couragement!' to the bear side., but for
some time 'tho government has been
wrong In Its estimates and the trade for
th nonce takes more stock In Jones and
tils estimates. September wheat at 95VtO
may look high In Chicago, but to the far
mers It looks like new hank accounts.
It Is the case of the farmers having the,
world markets, at their command and the
world being sttort In Its supply of cereals
with Inflation of prices to met exigencies.
Burtlett says! "After being closed two
days the Liverpool market opened this
morning ttron and 1H1 higher on both
wheat and corn. We probably shall have
further crop damage ireport from the
Northwest today, while we may have reac
tions and setbacks, I can see nothing to
encouruge the short selling of wheat at the
present time and look for still further ad
vance. At the moment corn Is In a strong
fiosltlon. with an export demand, concen
rated long Interest In this markst and light
movement. As compared with corn oats
look about low enough, and while pressure
of receipts may force . them, temporarily
lower, at the same time I believe them a,
purchase on all recessions. Indications are
for a speedy ending of the strike situation
and larger receipts of ogs, which may be
expected to give us somewhat lower prices
In provisions." ';

Jones on Commercial West.
The northwest wheat crop will b very
disappointing to thorn who have pinned
faith to the extravagant claims issued re
cently by the government and northwest
estimators, who work from their office
rather than from the field. Most of the
wheat In southern counties of North Da
kota Is dead us a result of ruut and It may
as well be cut this week as later. The
harvest In North Dakota will come earlier
than expected as a result of rust. Wheat
will be cut In North Dakota this week In
rust district - and the quality will be
greatly Impaired and weight will run light.
Boms that promised tweuly bushels to the
acre will not be cut, so budly Infected is
It. The crop yield cannot be rstlmated fur
sevetal d, as the rust must have time
to run Its course before minimum ilgures
are safely given.
Government Crop Report
Washington Threshing winter wheat was
advanced under favorable weather condi
tions In central valleys, but frequent rains
have Interrupted work In middle Atlantic
tatea. The quantity and yield of grain
are proving disappointing In the lower Mli
sourl valley, where the crop suffered much
from excessive rains during harvest. Un
favorable reports respecting spring wheat
are more pronounced as well as more gen
eral than during the previous week, rust
being more or less prevalent In all the
spring wheat states east of the Hocklea.
In portions of Minnesota and North Da
kota, however, a good crop Is promised.
Harvesting Is In progress In Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota, and will begin about
the btti In Minnesota. Harvest Is in prog
ress In Oregon, with better yield than ex
pected. In Washington spring wheat Is
ripening too rapidly as a result of the hot
Winds.
Corn has experienced a week of favorable
temperature and, while needing rain In por
tions of Ohio and central Missouri valley,
the crop as a whole has made good prog
rexs and continues In a promising condition.
. Oats Harvest In general progress in the
more northerly sections end largely finished
In central ami southern districts. Rust .has
causod damage In Nortn irakota and por
tions of Minnesota and rains have proved
Injurious to oats 1- -fock In Mary lag J.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Fratnrea of the Trading; and Closing;
Price oa Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2. Wheat for September
delivery sold on the Board of Trade today
for 94'c, an advance of 2Sj2Vc compared
with Bnturdny's closing figures. The sharp
upturn was due to alarming reports of rust
damage to spring wheat In the northwest
and to almost equally pessimistic advices
from foreign countries. The market closed
practically at the high point of the day.
Other grains were Influenced by the
strength of wheat, September corn closing
with a gain of 2tQ2c. Oats are up 1UI
lhhc Provisions are unchanged.
With the exception of a slight recession
soon after the opening, when September
touched 92n, prices moved steadily up
ward, the close being practically at the
top. Final quotations on September were
at 84H'$ri,t,c, after the price had reached
84c. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 86 800 bushels. Primary receipts
were 728.000 bushels, against 887,300 bushels a
year ago, Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 428 cars, com
pared with 400 car last week and 332 car a
year ago.
In the com market a burst of bull en
thusiasm at the opening was followed by a
rather easy tone. The market closed near
the' hlghtet point of the day. September
opened '&c higher at 610t51c, sold be
tween 61 o and CihtC and closed at bSHilo.
Local receipts were 239 cars, with 18 of con
tract grade.
More than usual Interest was taken In
the oats market. The market closed strong
and at the top. September opened a shade
lowor to a shade higher at 83c to 83Vc,
old up to 847i,c, where It dosed. Local re
ceipts were 269 car.
Notwithstanding the strength of grains
the provision market remained quiet and
easy, A decline of 10c In the price of hogs
was the principal bear Influence. Septem
ber pork closed 2Vo lower at 312.87H. Lard
was oft 24ik at $ii,86. Rib were un
changed at 7.624OT.66.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
82 cars; corn, 124 cars; oat, 82 car; hogs,

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Dull and Apathetic Trading Ifarki tha
Stock Ezobange Session,
REACTION IS METROPOLITAN RAILWAY
Bontfcera Paclfle Seem to Enjoy
Belated Adrantace from Yester
day' Report Regard.
In; Steel.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2 -Dull and apathetic'
trading marked the Stock exchange es
lon today and the movement ot price
was so sluggish s to be of little Impor
tance. The movement of prices was Inter
mittently upward and downward. The re
sumption ot business In the London stock
maraet after a three days' holiday had
little effect. In fact, buying for London
account was a factor In the nrst hour here
and helped to absorb the light protlt tak
ing. Foreign markets themselves seemed
little affected by political or military event
la spite of the happenings In the far ea.t.
A sharp reaction In Metropolitan Street
Railway from yesterday s strength was the
early mature here and was easily trace
able to the denial by President Belmont of
yesterday rumors that the Interborotmh
company was seeking control of the Metro
politan system. Southern Pacific seemed
to enjoy a belated advantage from yester
day s reports of large steel rail purchases
for the Harrlman system, whl'e Union Pa
cific was subjected to profit taking. Penn
sylvania made no response to the June
earnings statement, which showed the con
tinued fall In gross earnings at last over
come by tho drastic retrenchments put in
force by the company.
The extent of these retrenchments offer a
rather formidable prospect to other rail
roads, which see In that process the only
method of conserving to the earnings, but
which may be not so well equipped for re
ducing operating expenses. The day's dis
cussion of crop pronpects was against tha
stock market.
The deterioration In spring wheat re
ported by the weather bureau was more
emphasised In the estimates of some pri
vate authorities who have a following In
the speculative markets. The cotton mar
ket also reflected some anxiety over the
condition of that crop. The suspense of
the decision as to a strike of the anthra
cite miners was a repressive Influence on
the coalers, but the prevailing sentiment
was hopeful of avoiding a strike. The un
rest of labor was held before the public
attention by the telegraphers' trouble on
the Kansas A Texas railway. Consoli
dated Gas responded to the appointment of
commissioners for condemnation proceed
ings looking toward the East River Tunnel
rilpe line. Brooklyn transit was bought on
ts earnings report. The market showed
decreasing resistance to the weight upon
It and closed easy at about the lowest of
the day.
Bonds were dull and Irregular; total
sales, par value, 31,460,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

CATTLE The combined receipts of cattle
at the principal market points were much
smaller today than they were yesterday
and a a result the market held up In good
shape. That was particularly true at this
market, ' packers apparently being able to
handle everything that vas at all desirable.
There were Just a few loads of corn-fed
steer In the yards and nothing arrived
that could De classed a choice. Ihe better
grades, however, sold without much trouble
at price ranging strong to a dime higher,
but the commoner kinds were only about
steady. All the buyers seemed to Want a
few cattle and as a result the pen were
cleared In good season. The cattle that
attracted the most attention were a string
of grass steers shipped from North Park,
Colo., that sold for 86.10, but they were
choice. Anything good In the way of grass
beef sold at stronger prices, with others
steady.
The cow market was fully steady so far
as the better grades were concerned. There
were only a few answering to that de
scription, however, and they sold In good
season. The canners and cutter were
very slow sale and, In fact, It was almost
Impossible to get a bid on that clans of
stock. Packers are not trying tJ operate
their canning departments and for that
reason there is practically 110 sale tor cun
ning grades. Shippers should bear that
fact In mind and keep their canners
and
common cutters at home until the
business once more assumes normal
portions.
beef
pro-
Bulls are also very slow sale, but no
change In prices was noticed today. Veal
calves held just about steady.
The few loads of stockers and feeders
In the yards this morning changed hands
without a great deal of trouble at about
yesterday' prices There were so few on
sale that It could not be said that the
market was tested. Representative sales:

HOGS There was another break In the
price utT hog this morning at all points.
The decline here was not severe on the
light and medium weight and would be
covered In the majority of cases by about
a nickel. Strictly choice light weights
were not as much as a nickel lower in
all cases. Packer started out In fairly
gitoi season and picked out the better
grade and then the market came to a prac
tical Biunilstul and for some time not much
business was transacted. Packers did not
eeotn to want the heavy hogs and partic
ularly waa that the case where the quality
was poor. Borne of the heavy hoics finally
old at $4 80 and $4.86, fully a dime lower,
some of them In fact being 15c lower. For
some of ths cosrse, heavy boas packers
only offered $4.76. The mixed hogs of
medium weight sold largely from $4.90 to
$4.96 with choice lights from $4 ! to $6.03.
At noon there were still some heavy hogs
left In first hands. Representative sales:

SHE r. P l here was quite a liberal run
of sheep here this morning and more than
packer seemed to wsnt. They were all
on the open msrket, practically none of
them having been ordered In. I'p to a lat
hour very Tittle business had been trans
acted ana about all that could be said of
the situation la that there practically was
no market, as the purchsses made tester
day apparently were sufficient to keep pack
ers busy today. -Commission men are
warning their patrons thst tt is still risky
business to ship In fat sheep st this time
s packers are able to handle only a very
limited supply.
The tops of the Montana ewes that sold
vesterdsv for $2.75 brought $3 10 today.
Rome Idaho wethers sold for $3 60. There
was a fair demand for feeder snd prices
on that class of stuff held Just about
teady.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT SUMMARY
In Some Part of th Country Wheat
Experience SetbnoU.
WASHINGTON, Aug. I. The weather
bureau' weekly summary of crop condi
tion 1 as follow:
Very favorable temperature prevailed
during the week ending August 1 in nearly
all districts, and while drougthy conditions
are beginning to be felt over '.Imlted area
in the central valley and southern states,
the rainfall has peert. getteral.iy ,ampln for
crop need.
Corn has experienced a weelt of favorable
temperature, and while needing rain In
portion of the central Mississippi and Mis
souri valleys, the crop as a whole has
made good progress and continues In prom
ising condition.
Threshing winter wheat ha advanced un
der favorable weather conditions In tho
centra! 'valleys, but frequent rain have
Interrupted this work In the middle At
lantic states. The quality and j.leld of
grain are proving disappointing, In the
lower Missouri valley, where the crop suf
fered much from excessive rain during
the period of harvest.
Unfavorable reports respecting spring
wheat are more pronounced, as well as
more general, than In the previous week,
rust being more or less prevalent In all ot
the principal spring whea.t states east of
the Rocky mountains. In portion of Min
nesota and North Dakota, however, a good
crop la promised. Harvesting Is In prog
ress In Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota
and wl'l begin about August 6 In Minne
sota. Harvest Is also In progress la Ore-
fon, with better yields than were expected,
n Washington spring wheat Is ripening
somewhat too rapidly as a result , of hot
wind. . "
Oats harvest Is In general progress In
th more northerly sections and Is. largely
finished In the central and southern dis
tricts. Rust has caused damage In North
Dakota and portions of Minnesota, and,
rains have proved Injurious to oats In
shock In Maryland, Delaware add New
Jersey. 1
In the lower Missouri, rantral Mt?slFs1ppl
and Ohio valleys and over ths southern
portion of the middle At'antlc states the
outlook fer apples is -,not, promising, but
prospects for. the orop are encouraging In
the northern portion of the middle Atlantic
statea. New England and . portion of the
lake region. i.
