OMAHA. Aug. 17. 1906. There m a stronger feeling in the wheat market. Rains in the Red River valley this morning were reported and the fear that the harvest would be delayed caused Home buying. Broomhall gent another message to the effect that the crop In Russia la se riously Injured. Thla, however, doea not strengthen the market to any extent, aa the European markets teem to Ignore the re port. The. Price Current tooay says the exportable whoat la likely to etiual 200,000. 000 buaheli. September closed at 82N'u82Vc, December at 4-c and May at Mlsc Com cables bring some workable bids, and there Is no danger of piling up stocks at any primary market. Receipts were larger than estimates. The market was steady and some options vert down o. September closed at 63c; old September, Mv4c; December. 44S44c; old December, 4iHo, and May, HuHc. Oats were strong and there wss a fair oemand. September closed at &Qi'c; De cember at j7iuI7Uc. and May at 2:,32c, Liverpool closed fcd higher on wheat and Unchanged to fed higher on corn. Wheat strength was attributed to firmer cables from America yesterday and to less favor able Indian news. At the seaboard there were sales yester day of 264,000 bushels of corn for export, the bulk of it new corn. Chicago sold for sport about 160,000 bushels of oats and the seaboard sold 800ou bushels. Primary wheat receipts were 672,000 bushels and ship ments 635,000 bushels, against receipts of 7fc3.0oO bushels last year and shipments of 491,000 bushels. Corn receipts were 42M.OOO bushels and shipments 612,000 bushels, against receipts of 24:1.000 bushels last year and shipments of 475,iiOO bushels. Grain receivers generally report that farmers have stopped selling oats around current figures. Bids of e above the market Were made from Chicago yester day and failed to bring a stngle car from Illinois or Indiana. In most of this ter ritory threshing is over and the unmar keted surplus quite generally has been stored, either on the farm or in country elevators. Meanwhile, the wet weather In the northwest has shut off the offerings from Iowa and farther north. The Minneapolis flour output last week increased 24,280 barrels. The quantity turned out was 2.10,6:41 barrels, against lo8, 7.18 barrels In 19o4, and 290.4H6 barrels In 1S03. The output this week probably will not reach last week s total, as one large mill has sh.it down. "The flour trade is looking for lower prices," says the Minne apolis Miller, "and the bids received by Minneapolis mills for old whest flour are In many cases more than 60c a barrel too low, Wheat prices are fast approaching a basis where the mills can do soma business abroad."

CHICAGO. Aug. 17. Indications of Im provement in txport demand wan lnrg ly responsible for a bullish sentiment In the wheat pit here today. Large engagements of tonnage for flour was another potent factor. September closed with a net gain of Sc. Corn Is off r. Oats show a gain of 4C Provisions closed from Km to 15c up. The wheat market was inclined to drag early. Absenco of from predicted for the northwest caused support to be withheld and resulted in an easy tone September opened a shade to fi Vc off at 81VuS2c, and declined to tnSc. before the Import oi the adverse news began to have effect. At this point shorts became concerned for their lines. They found little wheat on the mar ket and a sharp upturn resulted. Septem ber Sold up to S.'Vc the advsnce being wll maintained during the remainder of the ses sion. The close was firm, a shade under the high point, at 82N'nS2o. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 61. 2o0 bu. Primary receipts were 672.000 bu., against 648.0H0 bu. last week and 7&6,noo bu. a ear ago.

The firmness in the wheat market ex- rted sufficient Influence in the corn pit to old prices steadv In the face of continued favorable crop reports. A fair scattered commission house demand and some buying by cash houses afforded the chief support In the market. September started He down t RSc, and closed at that figure, fluctuations ranging between !27tc and 63'tc. Ioal rc- eipis were zao cars, of wnicn lto graded contrsct.

NEW YORK. Aur 17 Vearlv 600.000 hares of slocks were sold torinv In the first hour's dealings on the Stock exchange. The transactions of the first hour are the nost significant of the day and are the ruciai test of the tone of the market in he majority of canes. The extreuie anlma- lon during that period of today was con vincing evidence of the irowlli of SDecu- lutlve Interest. Large orders came from arlous quarter. Every device was used to make the opening prices high for tho benefit of those who desired to realise profits with the advantage of this growing uisioe demand. The accumulated buying emand was fed stendllv durlna the whole of the first hour during the process of realising profit-taking. The result was a growing tendency to yield, which became more marked aa the accumulated buying orders were worked off. But when this condition of affairs became evident there was a discontinuance of the pressure to sell which threw the market of the middle portion of the day Into dullness. Each day s news adds to the confidence In the prosperous outcome of the grain crops, and the grain carriers held their conspicuous place In the day's market. Stocks of eastern railroads were notably held lack by the pressure to realise with Reading being the conspicuous example. although that stock touched a new high record during Its period of strength. So did Erie, which was the strong exception in the group. I'nlon Pacific was again very conspicuous and was the subject of the mort talk of deals and of mysterious de velopments. These rumors have taken the orm of some Important development re garding Oreat Northern preferred, from which it Is said the expected benefit to I'nlon Pacific will accrue, by reason of Its large holdings of Great Northern. The enthusiastic forcensts of the corn crops helped Missouri Pacific to an additional advance. The reace conference at Portsmouth wss the subject of attentive consideration under the belief that the critical stage of the negotiations had arrived. All signs con- niied to point to a feeling of continence in the financial world in a peace outcome of tho conference and pessimistic utter ances from diplomatic quarters seemed to have no power to alter this reeling, i ne favorable condition reportea ny tne iraae authority In the Iron and steel Industry had Its effect on the stocks of companies onneetod with various branches or tnai industry.

As compared with last Thursday the receipts show an Increase of about sixteen cars, but compared with the same day a year ago they show a decrease of about twenty-five cars. The quality of the offerings was pretty good. Considering the receipts, there was a good sprinkling of corn feds on sale. The scarcity of corn-fed cattle made prices better on anything choice and there was a good, strons demand for the cattle, and trading was active, preference being given to tne native offerings and they were bought up first. Buyers seemed to want these cattle and a clearance was made early. Prices for anything choice were 6U1 10c higher, but commoner grades were In poor demand and did not bring any better prices thsn were paid yesterday. The sup ply Of western cattle was Brood, the hlar end of the receipts consisting of that kind. On ine goo a stun nuyers were willing to pay fully steady prices and in some cases sales looked Btronger. Activity was also a fea ture of the trade on these cattle and a clearance was made In good season. Cows and heifers took a turn for the bet ter and sellers had the advantage. Good cornfeds were higher, but the commoner grades Just steady. Western stuff was In fair demand at stronger prices, while oan- nins Hna cutting grades were lower. The bull trade was not good today, there being little demand and prices aa a conse quence were lower. Veal calves and stags, however, were Just about steady. Btookers and feeders were in fair sunnlv and the weak tone noted the last two days was not In evidence. Trading waa fairly active and the good kinds ruled 10c higher. wnue common Kinds were steady to strong. llviiieiruiailvR Mies; BEEF STEERS. Mo. A. Ft. No. AT. r.

The market at tnls point is in a vei y saiisiac tory condition and there Is a good strong demand for supplies, but for some time back there has haruiy been enough stuff here to make much of a snowing. Good heavy runs could be handled esaily, as pacKeis and country buyers are hungry for supplies and only waiting for a 'decent run. Prices ruled stronger again today and after the sheep were ready to show they were picked readily at the prices.
