OMAHA, Aug. S. 1904.
All the world waits ahd wonaers over the
wheat crop of the United States. Just at
this time Hint particular portion ot tha
country lying to the north and embracing
North and douth Dakota nnd Minnesota
la tha object of especial attention. And
the reports that coins from there are not
of the ericoumglng character, but continue
o pessimistic Uir( one wonders ut the
Scraistence of ttie red rust, the Insidlous
es f the black ruat and th overtime
woik of the worm. it would be well for
the wheat growers of the three states men
tioned If mere had been a strike among
then workers In the harvest field. The
nnamlnity of the damage reports Is start
ling In Itself, scarcely a peep coining from
the other sido of the situation. if one
half of the reports are true, the I'nlted
Stste will have little In the way of bread
stuffs to give to hungry foreigners, who
will clamor nnd bid high fur tt because
their own crops are more or less of a
failure.
It Is i self-evident fnct that the prices
of wheat are high, hut they may go higher.
Jt hs reached a price where the uiecula
tlve" element can hardly keep oft tne bear
side, and every little while they break
over and force reactions, but the buying
has so far not shown opportunities for
thorn to garner profits. Tne turns on the
way come up with startling rapidity and
so frequently that the near n iihu tu he
on tho Jump not to let the market got
away from him. All of which suits tne
farmers ol Nebraska and assures them tin
other year of unexampled prosperity If
the strike at the packing houses Is settled
and they can find a market for their live
tuck.
Omaha has Hot got tha speculative fever
very bad at this time, but there Is ns
good a demand for cash grain here
there Is any place, and the price Is such
that this the market for remunerative
shipment.
Speculatively Chicago started Just as It
did yesterday. Rust and bug were not suf
ficient to check the bears and they were
for lower prices. 'Along midway of the
morning and toward u o'clock the steam
was turned on nd- the low prices of the
morning hera it -to look very cheap.
New September, which had dropped a
point to St4o turned and advanced on the
keen lump, to 9V4c, with a bunch of bewr
tumbling over each other In their anx
iety to eeoapa goring, wnlle old Septem
ber from 87Se touched the dollar mark
dollar a bushel for S)flember wheat not
in New York but In Chicago. December
and May .followed although less pro
nounced. The position of corn and oats Is much
more favorable to good crops but It will
be hard work to make the- second cereal
go down wlUle the chief food of mankind
goes on the up grade. September lost a
little but December holds rather steady.
In Omaha, No. 1 hard wheat of good qual.
ity will bring well toward 88c, No. 2 over
V, No. 3 corn sold at 474 and a better
quality would have brought better prices.
There are grinders every day on the
Omaha market looking for high grade
wheat and corn, and farmers and elevator
men will net better getting their grain
hare, where they can t get too much for
the demand, than sending It through to
Chicago where there may be changes In
price, before It Is delivered, and longer
time to await returns.
The real surprise of the day came when
H. V. Jones, the Minneapolis autho-ity,
doubled In his tracks and startled the trade
with practically admitting that there
"would be a verv good crop In the north
west as to bushels,, but that the grade
would not be up to standard." This, corn
ing wren private Individuals and agents for
firms, Investigating the situation, were
sending wire sfter wire and letter after
letter confirming Jones' previous reports
was considered by many aa, to say . tha
least, strange.
The trade accepted the new phase of
Joneslsm and the closing on the deferred
wheat futures was 4'Sl cent lower, con
and oats following to a modified degree.
One thing today and another tomorrow
doeen't. enhance prestige.
Here Is the alleged latest from the Minne
apolis man of views; ,
-"I Judge by the price , of -wheat that the
trade is" assuming there' will be no crop
la the northwest. The north west wilt have
a very good crop as to bushels, but for a
large area Duality will be deficient. I think
we are getting a boundary on the rust dis
trict, and that wheat 1 out of the way of
further damage. North Dakota has some
beautiful wheat of high average- that Is
out of the wav of both rust and frost."

waiting for a good break In wheat, being
afraid to buy on a 13-cant rise. As a mat
ter of fact, wheat has not gone up. People
are Just recovering from the mania they
have had to sell future at a discount from
cash. Cash wheat Is about here It was
when September was R0 cents."
"Everybody Is talking of the big advance
In wheat," says Robert I'ringle, who has
been one of the most successful and con
sistent bulls In the Chicago market, "but
the truth Is, wheat options are Just sell

six months. Ivtst year we raised, accord

The New York Times says: The key to
yesterday's stock market was the cheers
which went up on the Produce exchange
when wheat passed the tl mark to the sea
son's high record. Vntll then the business
was small In volume, but firm In tone, but
when calamity was so enthusiastically wel
comed on the sister Institution that the
echo was heard on Broad street the Wall
street farmers who are bulls on grain
turned bears on stocks and prices yielded
fractionally. It may turn out a comedy of
errors, and people with longest memories

Featares of the Trading; and Closing;
Prices on Board of Trad.
CHICAGO, Aug. . Contradictory state
ments regarding tha amount of damage In
flicted by-rust In the northwest kept wheat
traders guessing todsy. The result wss a
see-saw market, with prices fluctuating
within a wide range. At the close Septem
ber option was. up HSHo. Corn Is off fto
and oats down c. Provisions, 7W17HC
lower. At the opening the wheat market
showed some signs of weakness, September
being unchanged to o lower st W4467ViC.
Influenced by the strength in English mar
kets shorts covered freely soon after the
opening, advancing the price of September
to 84c. The advance met with small offer
ings until September had reached o. Re
newed liquidation, especially In the more
distant futures,, caused another reaction,
September declining to DiHc. The market
closed rather easy, with September at 9744c

NEWTORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Decided Contraction of Bniineu Diitarbt
the Traders.
SPECULATIVE ORDERS ARE UNCERTAIN
Troable Largely Doe to a Il ver
sion of Interest ' to tho
Wheat and Cotton
Market.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6 -There wss a de
cided contraction of business In the stock
msrket todsy. Commission houses com
puted the amount of outside orders as In
significant and speculative orders showed
uncertainty. This Is partly due to a large
diversion of speculative Interest to the
cotton and grain markets and partly to
the conflicting Influences from cotton and
wheat crop prospects. The effect of these
Is to cause alternate advances and de
clines In the markets as a whole, as the
effect of the cotton prospect or the wheat
prospect becomes alternately domlnsnt.
There la very slight tendency for move
ments In the cotton carriers and the wheat
carriers to diverge. The result Is to cause
constant uncertainty as to n.iat course
prices may take. The undertone of the
market was Arm today. According to the
explanation of the room traders, who had
the market largely to themselves, this was
due to the fact that they found light sup
plies of stocks for sale.
So far as the produce markets were an
Influence there was a feeling of suspicion
of yesterday's violent rise In wheat and
the reports of damage to crops which ac
companied It.
The engagement of $2,600,000 In gold for
shipment to Europe next week and rumors
of further engagements seemed to be ac
cepted with perfect equanimity by the
stock market. The shipment to Cuba Is
of such a special character and has been
so clearly foreseen that It wa totally Ig
nored, but the movement to London Is
considered as an Indication there that the
real recourse to that center for funds to
move the crops will be denied this fall.
The money market was entirely unaf
fected. The estimates of the week's cur
rency movement shows that the tide from
the interior Is Interrupted and the large
advance to the subtreaaury with which
the Week opened on account of the pay
ment of a Central Pacific note has been
successively reduced by the dally debits
of the government institution. A gain of
over $3,000,000 In cash by the banks Is Indi
cated. Of the day's special movements,
that In sugar was due to favorable trade
reports. St. Paul was strong on yester
day's report on June earnings. The sharp
recovery In consols In London helped the
early market here. The strength of the
Rock Island group was unexplained. Re
actions at the last were only alight, but
the closing was heftvy.
Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value,
$1,636,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call. '

CATTLE There were about l,4ou head of
cattle reported here today, which could not
be called an excessive run. At the iamt
time there were too many common grades,
including those that have been carried over
from day to day, and at a late hour there
were still a good many of that class In
first hands, for whloh there seemed to be
no demand. Shippers have been cautioned
every day to keep back their common stuff
until packers begin to operate their can
ning departments, and unless they heed
these warnings those who ship will sustain
serious losses.
Packers started In early this morning and
bought up some of the more desirable
grades of corn -fed steers at prices that did
not look a great deal different from yes
terday. After that, however, the market
was very slow and not far from a' dime
lower, the common kinds being very slow
sale. There were a couple of bunches of
heavy cattle good enough to bring 86.60.
Packers, though, seem to prefer handy
weight cattle of good quality to those that
are extremely heavy. In spite of the In
different atttltude of packers toward the
less desirable grades of steers most every
thing was sold In fairly good season.
Th cow market was slow, th same as
It has been all tho week with the medium
to common grades almost unsalable at
any price. Buyers picked out some of the
better gradec of cows and heifers and
paid not far from steady prices for them,
but the rest they did not seem to want at
any price. There are a good many of these
common cows on hand that hsve been ac
cumulating during the week and commis
sion men are in hopes that shippers will
comprehend the situation and keep their
common grades at home next week.
Bulls were dull, bolognas being unsala
ble, with good ojorn-feds slow, but about
steady. No change In veal calves.
There were not enough stockers and feed
ers in sight to make a market, but not
many were wanted, the same as is gen
erally the case on a Friday. Representative

HOGS There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs this morning as compared with the
receipts of late, but the demand both from
shipper and packers was In fairly good
shape and not much change took place
In the market. Chicago was quoted steady
to a dime lower and local packers started
In bidding that way here. Shippers, how
ever, had home liberal orders to fill mid
they began buying the good light hogg
at steady prices with yesterday, or from
$5.10 to 15.15, with some small bunches at
fo.io. Pome early sales of heavy hogs were
around a nickel lower, but when packers
found that shippers were taking the bulk
of the receipts they had to lump In and
feV
steady prices ror both light and heav
The heavy hogs sold mostly fr,.m
$6 00 to lilt, with medium and mixed loads
largely from $6.u3 to t-i 10. Trading was
active after the first round and early clear
ance Wu mude. Representative sules:
