THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1905. a s GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Bull AetiTity Ds?6lopi Which Carries Piices Up. ' 1 I WEEK-END CLOSE UNUSUALLY STRONG Millers Arc Bayla aad Mlnnfnlli Mill Ran gaadar Cora'i StreagtB U oa Late Ctv OMAHA. Oct. 21. I. The first hour the market was dull, but ery firm. Later bull activity developed, which carried prices up. The news, while strong in aoirie particulars, was hardly as Important a factor as sentiment und the cash situation. Minneapolis repotted a good cash demand. All the mills are ex pected to run tomorrow. Keporls from the southwest Indlrate that millers and others are buying wheat on the, dry weather pre vailing The farm-re are experiencing dif ficulty In obtaining supplies at reasonable prices. Cables were firm. December closed t 7Wc, May at 87Vo and July at Mc. Corn was firm early, but strong the latter part of the session on covering by shorts In sympathy with the strength In wheat. Cash demand Is fair and receipts moderate. December closed at 44c. old December at 46'4)C, May at 44"c and July at 44c. Offerings of oats under 31V4c for May proved very limited and the market ad vanced quickly on moderate buying. The large export demand, not only for oats, but for feeding barley, Is creating a very friendly sentiment. December closed at 20 He. May at MSc and July at 30a. Primary whent receipts were 1,440,000 bushels and shipments 473.000 bushels, gainst recHpts of 1,344.000 bushels lust year nd shipments of il3,to bushels. Corn te mpts were afi.fluO bushels and shipments Kl,() bushels, against receipts last year of 263,000 bushels and shipment of 234,000 bush els. Clearances were 85.000 bushels of corn. lia.OOO bushels of oats, 73,m bushels of wheat and 44.000 barrels of Hour. Liverpool cloned unchanged to V4d higher and unchanged on corn. Duluth snys 6.OG0.0U0 bushels of Manitoba wheat have thus far been sold for expott. On the basis of a io.OuO.OOO-bushel crop this a a good Business. World's shipments for Monday will be about B.fSOO.Oim buHhels, of which F.urope will take about 8,800,000 bushels. Those who have watched the wheat mar ket closmly for several days say the selimg t Chicago hn been for the northwest and by the local talent, who fear that they will be unloaded upon every time the wheat weakens. The bull leaders, they say, have not disturbed their holdings and have sim ply scalped. Rankin wired from Minneapolis: "We es timate, with the help of figures received from various sources, that 35 per cent of the wheat crop of theso three states has been marketed by the farmers. Sixty per rent of our wheat crop Is usually marketed by December I, but we do not believe the terntage will reach that figure this year. Many houses are full and unable to do bus iness, notwithstanding that the railroads ire doing their utmost to relieve them." Omaha Ca.n. galea.

CHICAOO, Oct. 21 Reports of damage to fall sown wheat In Kansas and Oklahoma helpl to strengthen the wheat market today. Another bullish factor was con tinued excellent demand for American grain for export. At the close wheat for Decem ber delivery was up H to 2c. Corn and oats are up to c. provisions are practically unchanged. With the exception of a slightly easier feeling at the start, the tone of the wheat market was Arm throughout the entire clay. The volume of business on the whole was rather small. At the opening Decem ber was unchanged to c higher at PSSH &c. Influenced by clear weather In the northwenst and by increased receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth, pit traders were Inclined to sell. Demand from commission houses, however, absorbed the offerings at only slight losses. December eased off to SUHc. At the end of the first hour a firmer tone developed on covering by shorts. Fresh reports of drouth damage to the new sown crop In the southwest started the buvlng One message from Kansas City said: 'The dry weather situation In Kansas and Oklahoma Is worth giving attention to. It Is learned from reliable sources that the complaints of damage are well founded.' Another factor that created some appre hension In the minds of shorts was con tinued urgent demand from exporters for American corn and oats. The demand from foreigners for grain tended to strengthen faith In the numerous reports alleging a shortage of feed stuff In Europe.

Notwithstanding Ideal weather conditions for the new crop, the corn market was firm the greater part of the session. Early in the dav there was a little selling by pit traders who were Influenced by the clear, cold weather. Later shorts covered, as a result of a good shipping and export de mand. Light receipts helped to create a tone. The close was Ann with prices al most at the highest point of the day. De cember opened a shade lower at 44MfO, sold up to 4474i4oc and clnsru ai 'e. lm-.ii ir celpts were 121 cars with 72 cars of contract grade. The oats market was firm the entire ses sion.

This repre sents the spirit of concession to the re maining uncertainties over the mony out look In entering upon the present nt cmpt at speculative revival.

Husx Other buyers 809 "942 Total 140 3.811 1,793 CATTLE As usual on the -last dav of the week there were no cattle of nnv Im portance here, at least not enough to make a market. As will be noted from the ta bles above, the receipts of cattle this week have been somewhat heavier than last week, but smaller than two weeks ago by close to 6.000 head. As compared witn a year ago there has been a gain of not fRr from 5.000 head. The week trade In beef steers opened rather unfavorably for the sellers. There was a large run on Monday, over 400 cars, and large receipt and lower markets at other selling points. Under such circum stances it was not surprising tnat buyers made the most of tho opportunity to pound prices good and hard. From Monday on the receipts were only moderate and the market gradually strengthened up until the loss was fully reoovered. Now. at the close of the week. It Is safe to say that the market on corn-fed steers is fully steady with a week ago, while western steers are a little higher, some would say as much as lOtfjPlSo higher. The market after Monday was In a good, healthy con dition all the week; that Is, the demand was fully equal to the supply, and on most days the movement was fairly active, so that the receipts were disposed of with out very much trouble, cows and neirers also som on a little on Monday for the same reason that beeves wepe lower; that is, large receipts and lower prices at all other market points. During the remainder of the week the market was fairly active every day. with prices gradually tending upward. At the close of the week the market Is all of 15i25c higher than it was a week sgo. More than that, cows are now aellina? at the highest point touched by the mar ket in some nine time, mere do not ap pear to be as many cows among the cattle receipts this season as usual, while the demand Is very brisk. This fact is making a very gooa row market, ana cattle of that kind are selling very well as compared with the prices of beef steers. A very considerable proportion of all the cattle coming forward this week has been made up of stockers and feeders from the range- Fortunately there has been a good country demand all the1 week, so that the trade has been kept In a good, healthy con dition. The result has been a fairly active market every day, with a tendency toward firmness which has gradually carried prices to a little higher basis. At the close of the week It Is safe to quote the desirable kinds of cattle as lo15c higher than the close of last week. More than that, the yards are well cleaned up, so that the prospects would seem to indicate a favorable opening for next week. Representative sales: COWS. No. As. Pr.

The movement on that kind was reasonably active, so that the most of ths hogs answering to that description changed hands in very good season In the morning On tha other hand, the less desirable loads were rather slow and were Inclined to sell a little easier than yesterday. As noted recently, quality is cutting more fig ure than waa the case a short time ago and not so much attention la paid to weights Good lightweights still have the preference, but good beavy and butcher loada are sell ing closei1 up to them than they were. The hog market this week has remained very steady, there being no Important fluctuations any day, either up or down. Under the Influence of moderate reielnts and a good demand prices have gradually firmed up, and at the close of the week are on an nverage Just ubout 3c higher than they were at the close of lust week. As noted several times of late In these columns, the hog market Is at present ob taining its main support from the shippers who, with the aid of light receipts, are maintaining prices. At the same time pack ers In all sections of the country believe that hogs are too hish to admit of cured meats being stored uway at a profit, and they are the strongest kind of bears and whenever the shipping demand falls off they pound prices without hesitation. If they had their way the market would be at least 60c lower than it la now. This is the season of the year when the market usually breaks under the influence of bear tactics on the part of the packers. Last October the average price of hogs on the first day of the month wes $5.74. but be fore the close of the month they had dropped down Just under the $5 00 mark. During November they continued on down, closing the month at $4.42. the averatte on the last day. During the last eighteen years the market for the month of Octo ber has closed lower than It opened, with only two exceptions, and they were In 1892 ana In If, m-hen the month closed with the market ISriXc higher than It opened. Dur ing the nam term of years the market for Nove riber has closed higher only Av times. Representative sales: No. Av lb. Pr No As. Sk. tr. ...tst no t il ... 140 I Is ...1.4 ...

REVIEW For the Information of parties who may be Interested In speculative securities we have made arrangements with Mr. F. O. Iiiuldlng of Cblcsgo, an expert writer on financial topics and delineator of stock ex change probabilities, to furnish a weekly review of the salient features of current financial topics gleaned from the various exchanges. Ve desire, however, on the part of Tha Bee to disclaim all responsibility for the ac curatenesa of any forecast Mr. Druldlng may make concerning future prospects of any Investment or enterprise. All special inquiries about the present or prospective value of any particular se curity should be addressed direct to Mr. F. G. Druldlng, No. 824 First National bank building. Chicago, 111. CHICAGO, Oct. SI. (Bpcclal.)-It cannot be said that noticeable activity In the stock market has Increased to any extent. Com plications In Insurance circles, tightness of money, the conservatism of the banks, the failure of the sugar speculators In Parts, the disappointment In London of the South African gold and diamond Investments, the acknowledged fact that the prosperity of the country has been discounted In Wall street, the knowledge that a great Rus sian loan has got to be floated and the fact that Japan Is also demanding gold, with the surplus and reserve low. It is little wonder that none but the profes sional element are found in the markets. It becomes evident from conditions such as those which I have Just cited that this la not a time to buy stocks. The bubble will burst, and those who wait for It will proilt handsomely. As a matter of fact there Is more agita tion, and the reconstructive element Is much more pronounced thnn the unthink ing pinillc realises. Take for example the Ontario & Western, the stockholders of which ousted the president and instituted a management which obviously has In creased the value of the stock. Notice the determined efforts of the stockholders In the Corn Products company, and observe the rise In value of the shares of Erie, Kansas City, Southern, Toledo, St. Louis & Western shares. It will be seen at a glance that the stockholders are beginning to take an Interest In the affairs of the companies to whom they have glveu their money for commercial use, and It will bs apparent at once that these ssme stock holders arc becoming Interested enough to travel hundreds of miles to sit at a directors' meeting in order to famlllarlxe themselves with the business affairs under discussion.

In other words, there was nothing here to make a market or establish any change in quotations. A little bunch of na tive Black Faces from a Nebraska farm sold as high as $7.60 for the lambs and $6 60 for the ewes, showing what really choice stuff will bring. The receipts of sheep this week have been larger than for the week before, but not as large aa two weeka ago. While there was a fair run. there was a decided shortage all the week In the supply of fat sheep, year lings and ewes. With a good demand, the market has gradually Armed up and at the close of the week good fat ewes, wethers, yearlings and lambs are all of 2.Vg40c higher than they were a week ago. The trade has been active all Uie week and packers have cleaned up each day's .receipts on arrival. Sellers have been extremely well pleased with results. Feeders were very high last week, so that buyers have been very much against rais ing prices any this week, still the market has been firm and In some cases perhaps a little higher.- Tha trade In feeder sheep has been very limited, as there have been no feeder wethers or yearlings to speak of. There have been some ewes and they have gradually advanced under the Influence of the very good demand, until they are close to 26c higher than a week ago. The most of the feeding ewes are selling at $4.25 4.40. Hrearllnar awoa are, Verv scarce. Good, weighty feeding lambs have sold at $6.30 0.36, with lighter weights, but of fair quality, at $6.oOi&fl.30. .

Read ing, Union Pacific, locomotive, Consoli dated Gas and United States Steel recov ered earllur losses and resulted In frac tional gains. Car and Foundry lead all others by a conspicuous advance of three points. The sentiment in London Is bull ish, owing to the fxllttre of the Bank of England to maintain Its 4 per cent dis count rate. Further depressions occurred In Berlin and Paris has remained In active. Chicago Subway has at last re acted against the heavy decline and showed a gsln of two points. A move ment of some Importance Is recorded in the fact that the Republic Iron and Steel company Is now in control of J. W. Gates and his friends. S. G. Cooper has been elected president In place of A. W. Thomp son. Conisr was made a director on Wednesday. C. 8. Guthrie was eleoted chairman of the board and executive com mltee. succeeding Colonel O. Watson French. Before tba American Steel Hoop company waa absorbed by tha United States Steel corporation. Guthrie waa Its president. Former President Thompson waa not re-electod to the executive com mittee. It Is expected that a plan will be formulated for the payment of back divi dends on ths preferred stock and presented to the new executive committee Immedi ately for action In the matter. Corper, la which the country speculator Is most apt to be Interested, had best be left alone. A. D. Nast A Co. sny: "Quo tatlona on tho stocks of all tho big pro ducing copper mines are too low. Amal gamated, for Instance, Is selling t 84. A couplo of years ago it sold at 130. Osceola & Boston sold up to 120 on the same rise. Now they are selling at 118. Yet at the time referred to Copper sold at 164. Now It sells at 17 cents, and there Is more de mand than supply. There are some stocks on the market that have an Inflated value, but the solid substantial stocks are being sold too cheap." . Amalgamated Copper company de clared vesterdoy a dividend of 1 per cent The Boston-Montana Consolidated Mining company paid a dividend of 4 per cent. The bond market has been In flourishing condition up to the past .few weeks, and the slump Is due entirely t the existing money conditions. No ques tion exists In my mind but what the en tire tendency of the country U fhttw; ing A year from now bonds wlU be In better demand than at any time during the history of this country.
