WILD EXCITEMENT IN ALL GRAIN MARKETS Chicago PnUra Acvnnce rir an ae-Half o Kl-e ThrEI(hlh Ceats Basket Gaasln Cre? Omaha's Fine Market. OMAHA, Aug:. 17, 1904. ' Thar la every confirmation ol th multi tude of discouraging reports that have tome In from 'Minnesota and the Dakota rearding the damn He to tha wneal crop. Ilia best possible confirmation, other than actual figures, la found in II. a course of Uia market, price seem never to gel areaxy n the advancing movement. Them hui not been a Filial good reaction since ma advance started. loony maikea me lenllli In tne present advance, but that It w the top of the markni for the crop ot tfH Is scarcely proiable. Further ion trmatlon of tha damage stories, more Itraina of the "swan song" ot the north aaiern wheat crop,, wiil Inject more trengta Into prices and make present Iguiea look lather cheapx It Is rate that i market goes as persistently as wheat das for two months. It has put tho call tellers Into many a trouble. Today again '.he price on "calls" waa reached, and with such a rush that It brought a great Jemand for orders from these "Irregular" Lraders to aave themnelve from serious loss. "Put" sellers have been reading a harvest, but the prlo Is getting where they would do weft to go slow. Chicago peculatlve traders were wild. They were In and out often, but generally the buying ' aide waa favored and there were any num ber of outside orders on tha market. In a vord wheat futures advanced In fhlcago Jo to 4c a bushel. In Omaha No. hard wheat, testing 60 pounds to the , bushel, sold at 11. Think of this, and re. member what It meana to Nebraska wheat growers! also consider the high prices at which No. 3 and even No. 4 wheat are Bulling and the effect on this state. Elevator men were urged to Bend in wheat . for tha, high price of a Week ago, and the advice Is repeated by commission houses again today. "Wheat," they aay, "may go higher, but these prices are very Una and tempting, nnd the man who trlea for the top irequently gets left." During the toon hour tha Chicago mar ket sat a wild pace and tha advances of the morning were added to In a sensational wajr. The story of the Dakota and Minne sota grew worse with each passing hour, and from Manitoba, through the weather map, came the startling Intormatlon that there waa a posdbillty of frost because '. of the then low temperature. Shorts became lNuucky scared, sick, tired and disgusted with their position and bought and bought until September wheat touched $1.U. December $1.01' and the May future 81.1;:. ThN meant a gain of 4c a bushel on the September delivery and 6e on th May delivery. This, too, waa on top of a big advance yesterday and a good gain on Monday. Omaha got excited over the situation also and cash No. 1 wheat, sold here at $1 -a bushel, not only to the extent of one car reported by Updike Commission company to the Exchange Grain company, but th former also old 100,000 bushels of contract grade, caah wheat at II a bushel. This Is 'the highest price that Omaha ha known on caah wheat for many a year and It was ' rlso the largest transaction on the record of tho city's wheat business. It if an In dication of the growth of the city in the grain business. No. 8 wheat sold hlarh as Wc, and poor wheat that tradera would havo passed by unnoticed attracted much attention. The volume of business In Chi cago waa enormous. Kansas City, Minne apolis, Duluth and other center that have been a little slow In following Chicago's lead got aboard nnd whooped It up with the rest of the high-priced band. Omaha has been even ahead of Chicago in setting the pace for hlirher price. Omaha future were also much more In teresting and - Increased In volume. The September delivery on wheat was bid up 5 point and December 4. Omaha prices are relatively higher than Chicago on many grades of wheat and this market can today or tomorrow, or any other day, take core of several hundred cars of wheat. It be gins to look as If there might be very lib eral arrival In the near future. The prices are tempting enough and the bulone.t li her waiting for the arrival. Many mil ler are sending order her dally and If tho quality Is right they will pay high, i The rain WuH not ehudgll Tor the orft crop, according to all gossip reports, and .this cereal-also advanced sharply... In Omaha the advance wa e on September and lo on December. Chicago price did not advance aa heavily, but the range hows a good gain. Ont also ware firm.

September wheat opened lVitlVie to lH" lVo higher at ai-Watd-Oti. December w up at the start l'vJ at ILOO.O.. The crop reports, bad to start with, became lamentable In their details of destruction by rust of whole fields. In many localities fanners were reported a engaged In burn ing the standing grain to clear the land, From the Dakota. Minnesota and Ontarlu the same report came and traders ap peared to scent famine. The buying furor set In in earnest. Only once, soon after the opening, when a few long lines were released, did the price go below th open ing range. A momentary dip carried Sep tember down to J1.06', and December to $1.06. The rest of th trading appeared to be ono frantic scramble to buy. Not uri tll the high points, 81.uA for September and 11.10 for December, were reached wa there anv marked halt In the advance. At top price in the- last hour of trading calr' threw quantities of wheat on the market and In the absoiptlon of this prices lont some of- the advance.

Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 147 cars, against 198 last week and 2W5 a year a. That there was not more of n advance In corn wa due to the fact that the south west had some more showers and the crop outlook was helped thereby.

Au. i7. The news from th crop wa an inouentlai factor In tne stock market and tne continued flood ot Oamuge rumors from the nortnwe.il aoout MpruiK wheat wa not regaraed wltboul anxiety. The Iron and steel trade sitjatlon was another legitimate grounu lor appre hension over vajues. Ti.e eftecl on Blocks waa more to paralyze the demand than to bring any seveie pressure to bear on the maraot. There was 110 general liquidation in evidence and the bears were tlm.d about attacking the market by short sale. The smypathntic weaki.es at one or two points wa also well resisted. 'I he Metropolitan stocks made some feverish bleaks due 10 doubts on the part of speculative bolder, because of the continued tnilure of the rontlrmatlnn of the merger rumors whlcn Induced them to buy their stocks. Sugar gave evidence of a culmination of a sea sonable eiiecukitlon and of liquidation by belated holders. The feeling In profes sional speculative rlre.les was in favor of some reaction on technical grounds, but still the yielding of the general list was very moderate. The decline of 1 In Cana dian Pacific on account of low tempera tures for tho wheat crop In Manitoba was an extreme movement. Tho lowest price tor United States Steel Preferred on the break In the price schedule or finished products wa only half below last night. This was before the ofllclal ad mission of the cut In prico of wire. As this Is the event which the selling for some time was meant to anticipate. It waa na tural that there should be some covering by speculative sorts on the announcement. The recovery whlrh resulted In United State Steel preferred went far toward re assuring the disturbed sentiment In the financial district. An effective rally fol lowed and th restraint waa removed from the special leature of strength, which made striking gains. The corn snd cot ton carriers enjoyed a firm undertone throughout. Tho coalers, -both of the hard and soft conl group, made substantial gains. Pennsylvania railroad ofllclal re ported an extraordinary traffic In coal, es pecially In the movement of soft coal to the lakes. Pennsylvania Itself was held back by sympathy with the early heavi ness In eteel, but Norfolk & Western got the full benefit of these reports. The strength of Ontario & Western was a sustaining Influence on the anthracite frroup. The buying of this stock was be leved to be competitive as between, the votiux trust Interests and tho Stockholders' Protective association. The stock market clored fairly steady and with the recovered level of price was pretty well maintained. Bonds were heavy; total sales, par value. $3,510,000.

There seemed to be entirely too many cattle In tight. Chicago reporting 18,000. Kansas City 8,000 snd Omaha 3.G0C At a late hour very little business had been transacted and Indications were favorable for many cattle being carried over until tomorrow. There were several loads of corn-fed steers on sale and some of them showed considerable quality. Something that Just suited buyer may have been close to steady, but tho general market was fully 6flHc lower than yesterday on the better grades with short feds and common cattl almost unsalable. With that class It was not a question of price, hot one of getting a bid. Too much cannot be said against shipping these short fed cattle that come In competition .with westerns. Choice grass cattl will bring more than short fed corn caxtle and consequently the latter should be held back and made good. The market on western gran beef steers was also In bad shape. Buyer simply picked out s few bunche they wanted and the rest were almost unsalable. There were quite a good many common cattle Included In today' receipt and those are the one that are hard to move. So little business was done before noon today that It is hard to quote a market, but as compared with the close of last week packer were talking all the way from 25c to 60c lower, the greatest decline being en the commoner kinds. It could not be said that there was a cow market today. Packers did not seem to care whether they got any or not, so It waa not a question of price with sales man, but one of getting a bid. If a sales man did get a bid ne had hi choice of selling at th price offered or keeping them for tomorrow as the chances were very slim of hi getting more than one bid. It wa simply a cane of where there was no market, buyers picking up a few loads at their own price. Bulls were also almost unsalable and there was but little demand for veal calves. There wa a better tone to the Blocker and feeder market today than ha been noticed for ome little time. Quite a number of buyer came In from the conntrv yesterday and took cattle home with them, which relieved the situation to some extent, and a a were willing to pay about for the better grades this common kinds were slow, result buyers steady price morning, but the same a usual.
