OMAHA, Feb. IS, 19"5.
Uj v. heat has run awe;-. The Wall
street buncn, headed by Gates, naa applied
tna again and the shorts have got
tha buying- irenry, and up sn goes.
N edneeoay the Viy moveil up from tl 19
to passing tne previous high murk
f the crop, ll.ja'v made last September.
Today the inarKet opened at 11.20 and 1.
It advanced to II.2om, tnen slackened down
to l.l4, wHlen was low point. It ad
vanced later to H IW. eased on to the three-qiuu-tare,
advanced again to $1 21, slackened
to ll.kcS. and from there soared to I.21V,
the hlgn poljit (or May wheat ilnce the
belter tleai In 198. The close was at
July did not quite follow the advance In
May. Wednesday It advanced from 11.01 tfc
to I1.02S- Today It ripened at 1.(KV and
did not paaa hat point IsMore noon. The
September waa not affected. The foreign
markets did not show the effect of the do
mestic strength to any great extent. Liv
erpool advanced from ',o to 'c. Antwerp
, waa unchanged and J'arls declined c lo
l'c.
There seems to have been never a situa
tion In the wheat JiiHt like this one. The
market has perhaps never had so strong a
combination under It and the Wall street
speculators seam to have landed on some
thing easy In grain deals for alniut tho first
time In history. It Is tho first chance the
easterners have had to control the market
without much work or the expenditure of
great amounts of money. They may not
again have such a chance and they are
going In for a killing. They Iihvg tho
money to put the market higher than It
has been fi years. The present Is the
highest price of the May since the Letter
ileal In May, 1898, when, the market reached
11.86. In tlutt operation loiter had to buy
nd ship out over 20.ou0.0uo bushelH of cuah
wheat, whereas Oates and his crowd have
as yet had to buy no cash grain nnd may
not have to do so. They have the money,
though, probably 8200,ouo,iJO, whereas Leiter
never Jhad more than 8i2,flno,uiaj, In the
nreaent operation the wheat had been
bought from I1.1K down. to 1.08 and back up
to tl.lt. In 18 Hutchison In Hcptember
bought the May at 12. During April and
May of 1W2 the wheat reached the point
of $1.40. The preceding year the high mark
waa $1.4n4 and In January, 1880, It was
1 32. During Dcemler of 1.879 the highest
point reached was 11.3.1. Tte mmt pros-
(.erous figure every reached by wheat dur
ng forty years was In August, 1869, when
the mark waa set at $2.47.
I .Whether or not the market will run away
depends on the aborts. They are awme
i of the congested condition of the market
: and are getting in. The market Is apt to
I run away and very heavy selling by the
long Interest will probably be necessary
to Keep It within bounds. It Is to the
I advantage of the manipulate to cause a
' break, so aa to start more short selling.
'This will make the situation more inter
esting when tlb time for delivery comes.
Corn and oats did not follow the strength
lit wheat. ThaMuy Wednesday was 4lo
and today at the opening It wan 47'4c
from which It -declined by noon to tSc.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Under a strongly
manipulated market wheat for May delivery
today sold at $1,214 a bushel, overtopping
yesterday's new high record price for the
season. The market closed at almost the
highest point of the day, with a net gnln
of IVft'lSc. Final quotations on July were
up 4'alc. Oats were down ,c. Provisions
Showed a loss of 2V4g7Sc.
Attention of wheat traders today cen
tered around the May delivery. Trading In
that option was at high tension all through
the session. There was apparently con
stant fear of unexpected developments.
Energies of brokers seemed taxed to the
utmost to keep Abreast of the market. At
the start Miy was up VttVko to Vtf-V at
$1 20frl.20tt. July waa unchanged to c
higher, at 1.02t4i'l.n2V Commission house
generally had orders to buy st $1.20 for
customers who were short. Filling of these
orders was attended with no little ex
citement. Within a few minutes after
the opening May sold at $1,206, and July
at $1.02 -1.(12. Statistics appeared to have
little effect, the congested condition of
the market for May wheat being the all
absorbing topic of conversation. At the
Initial advance there was long wheat for
sale In large quantities by outside
holders. Later the selling was augmented
by offerings from houses that have been
trading largely for Wall street speculators
As a result prices experienced a sharp
setback. May declining to $1.1'4 and July
to si.oi ft. on covering by shorts May
nuicaiy regained muon or the loss. July
nowever, was in poor demand. The mar
ket was extremely nervous the remainder
of the session. Just liefore the close an
other sharp advance occurred as a result
of renewed covering. May roso to a new
high record mark for the season, the price
touching $1,214. The July option responded
leas rendlly. Final quotations on May were
at i.2l. July closed at $1.Q,4D1.02H- No
tice was posted that K. A. Ring, a small
broker, had failed to pay his balance st
the clearing house. As In the case of E.
II. Prince yesterday the trouble waa laid
to the May denl In wheat. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to .18,700 bu.
Primary receipts were .H2.30U bu.. compared
with M3.NU0 bu. a, year ago. Minneapolis.
iMilutli nnd Chicago reiwirted receipts of
24.1 cars, against 244 cars last week and 299
cars a year ago.
Milder weather In the west started re
newed liquidation of corn by several large
holders, resulting In a weak market. An
other depressing Influence was the an
nouncement of a further reduction In
freight rates. The new rate on corn from
Iowa points, becoming effective February
2d, will, it Is said, greatly Increase ship
ments from that atate. Throughout the
day offerings were in excess of the demand
and a heavy tone prevailed. May opened
unchanged to -40 lower, at 47474, sold off
to Wai; and closed at 46c. Local receipts
were ,4 cars, with one of contract grade.
The reduction In freight rates affected
the oats market ns well as the corn mar
ket. Reports of nn Increased movement
brought out considerable selling by pit
traders, resulting In a weak undertone.
May opened unchanged to VxtrVic lower.'
at 31Sc to SIMKf.ll&tc, sold off to 3mfj!lio
and closed at 31VWsC. Local receipts
were 50 cars
Provisions were weak with prices slightly
lower. Helling by pit traders In anticipa
tion of a large increase of iceelpts of five
hogs in the near future caused the weak
ness. At the close Mav pork was 7'.4c
lower, nt $12 .82VS.ifrl2.8G. Lard was down W
7Vsc. at $6.2jijt).li6. Ribs were 2&i&5c lower,
at $6.85.

oa harp gelling; Movement.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The stock mar
ket was about the same as yesterdsy, ex
cept that some different stocks were sf
fected. In some cases It was apparent
that the movements were due to opera
tions by pools In the particular stocks.
In some others there Was news of rumors
which offered ground for higher prices.
Low grade Industrials continued to play
a conspicuous part In the market and In
the railroad list the low-priced, non-dlvlrtcnd-pnying
stocks came Into greater
favor. Stocks of the Morgan group, In
eluding United States Hteei common and
Rock island were examples In this clastt.
The absence of news to account for these
particular movements gave rise to the sup
position that they were designed for effect
upon sentiment, by creating an Impression
of sn active Interest In the market on the
part of great capitalists. L'nlon Pacific ad
vanced again to slightly above Its high
price of yesterday. But the failure of a
Stock Exchange house, which was said to
be due to the uncovered committments on
the short side of the market, was believed
to expluin to some extent yesterday's sharp
rise In L'nlon Pncifle. The strength of the
stock In consequence did not hold threngh
out the day. There was, however, a cor
responding adve.nce to a new record price
for Northern Securities on this curb and
buyers of the -stock professed confidence
that an early Increaae in the l'nlon Pacific
dividend rate was In contemplation. Yes
terday's rumors of a transfer of control
of Ontario & Western to New York Cen
tral were denied on authority, but thru
stock continued to show strength and the
minority Interests were ssld to have faith
that tliey would be granted lucrative
terms.
The decline in exchange rates continued
and money was lu abundant supply. The
time is now approaching, however, when
the tide of the currency movement from
the Interior is approaching the turn, as
Indicated by the decline in the interior
rates for exchange on New York. This
periodical course of tho spring money mar
kets is a natural restrictive Influence on
speculation in stocks and there is a ten
dency to anticipate It even before It does
develop. Ureat attention and active dis
cussion were given to the contest for con
trol of t lie enormous resources or one or
the great life Insurance companies. Aside
from the personal phases of the contest
and of the merits of the dispute over the
manner of administering Important affairs
Involved, the bitterness evoked by the
struggle is witness to the vast Importance
attached to the control of the Insurance
companies. This furnished the text for
much discussion on the close affiliations
between the great insurance companies,
hanks, trust companies and railroad sys
tems nnd the effects of the counter work
ings of these grent Institutions on each
other's affairs. The effect was not stimu
lating upon the speculation in stocKB.
Renorts from Washington were revived
of a proposed extra session of congress for
ennnlilernllon of rate legislation, and the
proceedings for investigation of the Stand
ard till company were noieu wmi min"
So was the suggested possioniiy 01 n crisis
In our relations with Venezuela. Further
cuts were announced on freight rates In
the progress of the war for export traffic
and there were complaints of freight ob
struction from the stormy weather. An
nnnorroiti tone ileveloned In consequence
and the sbnrp selling movement of the last

If vou are followiiig the course of the markets ilosel.v you have undoubtedly noticed that
Cum lias lately taken its place among the active grains and Ir likely to sell very much higher. If
it was generally understood hov well the market is supported, and has been for weeks back, the
present advance of OJc from bottom would not be wondered at, and if you are not in sympathy
with Wheat at today's prices, yt.u can afford to buy some 'May Corn, because there are certainly
some great opportunities in sueli an investment if you will take hold on any little setback. Th
market is not only ln'iiKliy, as it is heavily oversold, but so far as supplies and demands are ciJn
cernetl is in an exceptionally strong position. Th big movement is over in Corn as it is in Wheat
and Oats. The good quality has led to a much better demand than expected, and probably th
maximum estimates of the crop were too large. At any rate, advices from the country show that
seldom before on IVbruary loth were farm reserves as small as now. In some instances in Illi
nois, Iowa and Nebraska ."0. 110 and even To per cent of the crop has been shipped out and gone
into consumption at least it is not in sight in stocks.
There are numerous reasons for the presnt low state of country supplies. The feeding be
gan earlier because there was nothing carried over from the HKM crop, anil has been on a larger
scale than ever before. Exports, too, have been largi'r, and it is expected that depletion of sup
plies will go on from these causes for some inie to eonie. The bulk of the visible supply is stored
at the sea boa nl and sold for export. More, will follow in the same direction as practically all of
Europe's supply of Corn to the time the Argentine crop is ready must be drawn from America.
The ml net ion in freight lati'S does not seem to change the fanner's opinion as to the worth
of this grain, and so long as beholds back the remainder of his crop and stocks decrease in the
face of increases a year ago. it looks very much' as though he will be in control of the market.
The price is still low, yet 10c under last year at this time. Why not make a purchase of May Corn
as an investment? Everything indicates tlurt you will be exercising good business judgment

CATTLE There were
here this morning. Which was tuny si 1111.
eral a run ss was expected, which shows
that the railroads are once more geltlnst
their lines Into shape to do business. There
Is still some shortage of refrigerator cjis,
though tiiilte a few arrived this morning
and more are expected by tomorrow, which
will relieve the situation to quite ail extent.
There were quite a few beef steers Incliulnil
In the offerings and the tendency ot prices
was downward. Packers were ilow to lake
hold snd their bbls were Hilly a dime lower.
Salesmen did not like the Idea of taking
less money and as a result the market was
slow from start to tlulNh and It was luio
before a clearance 'was made. Packers
are. of course, hiukiiir for liberal receipts
from now on Slid consequently they were
feeling bearish.
The demand for cow stuff seemed to be
in better fliHpe than the d.-moiid for steers
and us n result the inurket uii cows and
helfera could he quoted active snd steady.
Some of the het1r grrts, In fai t. ihl

HOUS-Thero was a very moderate run of
hogs here today, only sixty-two cars being
reported. The market wsa a little slow,
but ruling prices) were steady to strong us
comparei! With yesterday. There was nnl
much satisfaction, though, In comparing
the market with yesterday, as there wax
not enough here to make u market. Tlic
bulk of the lighter weights, sold today from
I4.8J4 down, butchers und mixed hogs from
I486 to 84 8;u and the heavies largely mini
$4 674 to 84.95. Trading was a lUtle n0w,
but still all the early arrivals were dip,,c,i
of in good Season. Some of the 1 1 a frit
were lale In arriving, which delayed Hi.'
close to quite an extents
Toward noon, when tne late train began
to arrive, the feeling was, If anything, n
little weaker; or. In other words, the eirl
Htrength was Just about lost. The change,
though, from tho prices paid at the openliii
of tha market was hardly enough different
SHEEP There was oulte a liberal run of
sheep and lambs in sight this morning,
about 9,700 being on sale. With that many
In sight packers were naturally bearish,
owing to the steady advances that have
been trade of late, and they, were also a
little short on refrigerator cars, so that
they made use of this opportunity to get
prices down in line with other points. As
a general thing the market could be quoted
local Be lower, though some sales on paper
look 26c lower. In most rases, though, a
much better fill waa secured tifclay than was
possible yeHterday, so that while the Bales
on paper may have looked a quarter lower
In some cases, In reality they were only lOii)
15c lower. As high as J5.45 was paid for
ewes, $5.75 for wethers and 86.26 (or year
lings. Choice lambs were very scarce this morn
ing and the fair kind were very slow and
suffered fully as much ns sheep. As high
as 87.25 was paltl for Just a fair bunch of
lambs.
