OMAHA. Jan. 4, 19"6.
The visible wheat supply has reached
'.l,0OO bushels, which Is a point a lew
months ago thought impossliile for thin
crop. There was so much talk of the
cutting down of the amount. The in
crease In the visibie in not likely to continue
long, for the greatest visible or last, yvnr
was reached early in February. jjtst
year, moreover, the southwestern receipt
continued liberal throughout the winter,
whlla in 1S04 they have been light for some
time. The visible is 2.il5,i"X) bushels more
than last year. Of this increase l,8tlow Is
In Canada. The maximum of the visible
laMt year was 40,612, Iai, which was reached
January 23, and la 7,uu0 bekiw tlie present
visible.
H. V. Jones Is 'credited by several Chi
cago papers with saying the most Import
ant thing In the Immediate wheat situation
is what the trade Is going to think when
the visible begins to urcrease, weekly, as It
is bound to do In January or by February
I. He is quoted as saying Minneapolis has
a liberal stock at present, but the coun
try has less than usual. He scoff at tha
idea that the northwest has 60.nnD.ono or
tsi.QuO.OnO bushels of wheat yet In the coun
try. Ha flrds this contrary to the condi
tions. He says the elevator receipts are
small and the storks of country elevators
are. small, lower In fact than has been
the case at this time of the year for sev
eral years. The northwestern visible Is not
much greater than In 1!8 and the In
crease is due to the higher prices which
have brought out the grain.
Bradstrcet Is bullish, lie finds an in
crease east of the Rockleg of 639.000 bushels
and a decrease In Europe and afloat of
R.20n,0c0, making a world's decrease of
2.561.000. The decrease for the same week
lsst year was only 91,000. For the world's
visible supply Bra'dstreet figures a Decem
ber decrease of 2.600,000. while for last year
It was an Increase of 10.000.000. Mlnne
spolls reoelved l&o.ono end shipped Ho.noo.
Flour shipments were 4.iO barrels. Chi
cago received 494,000 bushels of wheat and
shipped 31O.H0O; Duluth received 2 IS cars
for three days and 70 cars of this were
No. 4 or worse. The Ohio January report
f ives tha crop condition as 72 against 75 for
sat month and 77 for last year. Drouth
is tha trouble.
The car fsmlne Is over for the present.
The roads were rushed In getting the corn
to the seaboard for delivery for December
cargoes, but now they see a dull time
ahead for several weeks. Cars are offered
In Increasing numbers to shippers, who do
not want them Just now. Two weeks of
dullness have been passed. Rredstreet
figures an Increase of corn of 2.787,j0. The
market Is depressed by dribbling liquida
tion. Tha commission houses are selling a
little. The continued large receipts, the
large shipments from' Argentina and else
where and the high quality of the corn
coming all tend to lower the market. Val
entine was selllntr some corn, amount not
known, this morning.
Oata opened easier than the Tuesday
close. They are affected by the dullness In
corn and will probably continue to be so.
The decrease In the visible has had no
effect on the market. There seems to be
no outside trade. Bradstreet figures a de
crease of 630,000.

CHICAGO. Jan. 4 Liberal decreases In

a strong flnlsn In the wheat market today.
May delivery closed at a net gain of S'
c. Corn and oats are each off a shane.
ITovlsions aro down 17VJC.
Influenced by higher cables and an Im
provement In cash demand for both wheat
and flour, the Wheat market opened Arm.
May was up 'c to 14'yV at ll.ltS$l.lH
Commission houses were fair buyers. Many
of yesterday's sellers reinstated their lints
during the first few minutes of trading. At
that time offerings were comparatively
light. Among the reasons for the tenacity
ot the longs were continued small receipts
northwest and bullishness of the Ohio crop
report. The condition of Ohio winter wheat
was placed at 72. aa compared with 77 the
corresponding time a year ago. As the day
advanced ptl traders sold more freely and
the market eased off considerably. May de
clining to U 13. During the lastipnrt of
tho session, however, sentiment again be
came bullish. Southwestern receipts con
tinued to denote practical exhaustion of
winter wheat, Kansas City and St. Louis
today receiving only 91,000 bushels, as com
pared with 331.000 bushels a year ago. Total
primary receipts were little more than half
what they were a year ago. The principal
factor, however, In the late situation was
a decrease of X.StSl.OOO bushels In the world's
available stocks. The market closed at
practically the highest point of the fny.
Final quotations on May were nt $1.14Vf
1.14. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 3,3 bushels. Primary receipts
were 494.3IO bushels, compared with 941. W0
a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 406 cars, against
40 cars last week and 5J5 cars a year ago.
Liberal receipts and a large incteasc In
the world's visible supply made sentiment
in the corn pit bearish. Several prominent
commission nouses were again active sell
ers. Shorta wera the principal buyers. May
opened unchanged to '4c lower nt 44 Vn 44.-,
sold off to 44VC, and closed at 44Vu44ic.
Local receipts were G35 cars, with two of
contract grade
The weakness of corn was the govern
ing factor of the oats market. Cash houses
were free sellers. May opened a shade to
mi Vic lower, at 31S4j31t4c. rallied within
th opening range, and the close being
31Vic. Local receipts were 104 cars.
Provisions were weak throughout the en
tire aesslon. A big Increase In local stocks
was the chief cause of the weakness. An
other feature was the liberal receipts of
hogs. The entire list was subjected to con
siderable liquidation. At the close all May
products were off 174e. May pork being at
H2.ii214, lard at !6.ft&tf.87Vi, and ribs at

Itles Derision looses Its Korre
Demand for Storks for In.
tritmrnt l'rnvra l.liht.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4. There was a con
tinued abatement of active Interest in
storks and a heavy Irregular tone In the
day's dealings. This was undoubtedly due
to the fact that advances yesterday were
at too fat a pace for the health of the
market. There was perceptible also a sensi
bility to constant fluctuations In Amalga
mated Copper, which continues to be re
garded aa a danger point by a largt ele
ment amongst the operators since their
experience of a few weeks ago.
The stimulating effect of the Northern
Securities decision has lost some of Its
force today, and Northern Securities on
the curb and all the stocks related to It
on the exchange were reactionary. Taken
for granted that plans are far advanced
toward agreements and combinations to
accomplish the purposes sought by the
North rn Securities merger, there Is a re
maining force In the consideration that
the terms fixed for the redistribution of
the proierty In the merger will end the
control secured by the Union Paclllc of
the old Nortlmn Pacific, thu in a measure
relegating conditions to the same state
as that existing before the colossal con
test between the giants of the railway
world in 1!H.
As to the vugue rumors of the form
to be taken by the new combinations
there was more caution In basing opera
tions upon them than was the case yester
day. There resulted an Inclination to de
pend much on the expected January In
vestment demand for securities. This
proved to be of moderate proportion and
was met by offerings on the part of deal
ers who had bought stocks in .anticipation
of this demand. There were sustained
points In the market, however, which held
prices against any severe reaction. New
York Central was notably strung and re
ports persist? d of a lurge Interest ac
quired in this property by Union Pacific
and Standard oil interests which would
tend to harmonize its operation with other
Important railroad properties. The placing
of Lehigh Valley on 4 per cent annual
dividend basis had been prrtty accurately
foreseen, but the healthy effect upon the
coalers was still manifest, especially In
Reading. There Was also an Important
absorption of Erie. Tho market lacked
the buying for London account In the
degree that It was felt yesterday. The
rate of the gold outgo was of sentimental
influence In the stock market. It was
Intimated that gold was likely to be
shipped from Sun Francisco on account
of deposits at the New York sub-treasury.
Tha only occasion that can call for ship
ments to japan at tins time would be on
account of New York subscriptions to
the Japanese loan. It Is Interesting to
recall that at the time of the last Rus
sian loan It was alleged that its flotation
was facilitated by reason of disbursements
In the world's markets of drafts on de
posits on European bunks of the proceeds
of the former Japanese loan. The calling
home by Japan of its foreign deposits
would promise a contrary effect.
Railroad net earnings "reported for No
vember showed good lncrfases, the im-
fortant Instances being Pennsylvania. St.
'aul and Lehigh Valley, The reactionary
tendency In the market prevailed and the
closing was weak.
Bonds were cusy. Total sales, par value,
14.42o.om). United States bonds were un

Quotations on the New York Stock ex

CATTLE There was ant -Llier very moder
ate run of cattle in signt this morning and
that was particularly tne case at this point.
Packers all seemed to bo anxious tor sup
plies, and as a result buyers were out In
good senson and stronger prices were paid
lor everything at all desirable.
About the usual proportion of the receipts
consisted of corn-ted steers, but the qual
ity, with the exception of a few bunches,
was only fair. Anything at all desirable
sold readily enough at a ilttlo stronger
prices and some sales looked In extreme
rases to be as much sa o'tU'c higher. As a
general thing, however, the market could
nest be described by calling It strong and
talrly active.
Cow buyers were out In the yards earlier
this morning than they have been for some
time past. They all seemed to have liberal
orders and with the small number of sales
there was considerable competition and the
market ruled active with prices strong to
as much as a dime higher. The choicer
grades of course showed the most improve
ment, A good clearance was made at i
reasonably early hour.
There wag not enough change In the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags
to be worthy of mention.
Very few Blockers and feeders arrived
this morning and there were also or.ly a
few warmed-up cattle of the right kind for
feeders, so that speculators lld not find
much to operate on. Anything at all de
sirable In the way of storkers or feeders
could safely be quoted steady to strong
and active. Common cattle of course were
not so brisk, but still even those sold at
good steady prices. Representative sales:

Hot IS Receipts f hogs were not at all
excessive this morning and with good
local demand the market here Improved a
little. At the opening of the market, ruling
prices were fully 2c higher, with trading
quite active The hulk of the early sales
went at $4.4S and $4 47. with prime loads
mostly at $4.5 arid a top at $4.58. After
packers had their more urgent orders filled
trading became less active, with the feel
ing weaker. At Ihe extreme close prac
tically all of the early advance was lost,
the late salen being largely at $4.10 and
$4 42. with the choicest loads at $4 45. In
spite of the weak close most everything
wis disposed of in fairly good season.
Today s advance makes this the high day
so far this week, but the market Is still a
shade lower than It was at the close of lsst
week. As compared with a year ago the
market is ii3"ic lower. Rcpresentatlv

SHEEP There was a fair run of sheep and
lsmhs here this morning, but the demand
was sufficient to hold prices Just about
steady. Trading was active on the more
desirable grades, particularly In the case
of lambs. Common kinds of both sheep and
lam ha were not very brisk, hut still right
close to steady prices were paid. A good
clearance of the better grades was made In
good season, but It was a little late before
the commoner kinds were all dlaposed of.
As high as $6.50 and $6.55 was paid lor
lambs against a top late yesterday of $-.H0,
which was paid for some very prime lambs.
There Is nothing new in feeders, as very
few urc offered, und those that do arrive
sell at just about steady prices.
