OMAHA, Feb. 21, IX. fables on wheat were, higher on tha Indian crop report and the Uerman-Frencli war arara. The American market, re sponded early, but after an advance of Ho many took the opportunity to rll and the price went back below yesterday s clone. Considerable demand developed around 82ve for May, and the market steadied, closing o higher. The warm weather bring tear of damage. If followed by cold weather. 1 Corn waa weak on the good weather and large receipts, which overran the estimates. There waa little response to the higher cables. The demand, both domestlo and export, la very disappointing. Tha opening was firm on the cables, but a de cline aet In and the close waa So lower. Oats receipts overran the estimates. The demand la improving. The market waa steady and closed a trifle better. I'rlinary wheat receipts were WM.OOO bu., and shipments 187,4X bu. Corn receipts were 762.000 bu. and shipments 420.000 bu. lAitt year was a holiday. Clearances were XI .OiiO bu. wheat, 3h,iM) bbls. Hour, l74,000 bu. corn, 110,000 bu. oala. Liverpool closed Vd higher on wheat and unchanged to Vd higher on com. The following , waa received from New York by W. C. Sunderland: "There Is a much more pronounced demand both from the United Kingdom and the continent for oats. Total charters for wheat yesterday were 80.000 bu.;-80,0u0 bu. were new busi ness. Balance covering ocean freights on old Bales. It la reported vessel flue to sail March 16 will take eO.uw bu. No. I red winter wheat for Portugal." From the Inter Ocean: "Six per cent a month la practically being paid to carry corn for the next two months. This Is an extravagant carrying charge. There was JV.O spread between February and May last night, the greatest of the season. It Is not at all encouraging to the bulls, In fact, no bull can make any money by pay Ing such high rates for carrying corn at this or any other season. Prospects are not encouraging to the holder of corn through tha germinating period, as the en tire corn trade of the-west is afraid of the keeping qualities, hc-lce the wide differ ence between the cash and May, which only comes when conditions are unusual. The sample market was demoralised, with prices H3'2c lower. No grade sold down to foe and poor No. 4 down to 30c." The range of local option prices: Articles. 1 Open. Hlgh.j Low. Close.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS fc'eatarea of tha Trading; and Closln Prices oa Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Feb. 21. Strong cables and damage reports from Illinois and MlBsourt contributed materially to a firm close today In the local wheat market. Final quota tion on the May option were a higher. Corn Was up Vaic, oala showed a gain of o and provisions were 7V4c luwer to 6c higher. Following a sharp advance at Liverpool, the wheat market here opened firm, wltk the May option up V&'Sc to at K!((M2C. For a time the market was steady on active bidding by shorts, but heavy selling by pit iruders, who were tiearUthly Inclined because of continued mild weather In the United Statt-s, caused the market to weaken. There waa little de mand - until May touched b2 but here shorts became active buyers and the mar ' toi't soon developed considerable strength. Another bullish factor was the statement Of French acreage made public yesterday. The revised llgurea decliired the acreage to be 600,000 acres less than the previous report. The market closed firm with May at 82169C'Hc. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to lM.OOO hu. Primary recelpta were tkH,0 bu., against a holiday one year ago. Mlnneti polls, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 513 cars, ns agalnxl 2b last week and a holiday one year ago. Liber ill receipts and a decline of itj2c in the price of cash corn weakened specula tive values In the corn pit. The market waa firm early In the day In sympathy with the Initial advance In wheat, but the provision Interesta sold heavily and the market soon yielded to the preexure. The late strength of wheat and a fair demand by shorts caused a moderate recovery. The close was steady. May opened unchanged to He higher at 43443'?. sold off to i'ip 42Sc ami closed, at 42(i44iO. Local re ceipts were 344 eats, with three of contract grade. Reports or an improved export demand held the oats market steady. The principal buying waa by shorts, although commis sion houses took a "i-lilc ruble amount of offerings. The aelliix tun chiefly by local lungs. May oieiied a .shade, to C higher at 22it'ic to 7c, sold between W'4C and 30c and closed ut 2!"7c. Local receipts were 153 cars. Provisions were Inclined to be weak be cause of a 10c decline in the price of live lings. Local holders and commission houses were active sellers, but offerings were fairly well taken by puckers. At the close May pork was off lr at $15.80. Ird was a shuJle lower at $,.72tyt;'.5. Ribs were 6c higher at S..17Si.20. Estimated receipts fur tomorrow; Wheat.

Feb. tl.-Prlees of stocks turned downward todav and little evidence waa left of the hopeful speculative senti ment with which the week opened. The yielding tendency In prices was due as much to lack of support aa to any active pressure. Transactions were not on a large .scale. but the market was neglected and the de mand languid and Indifferent. The steady dribble of liquidation met no Important buying orders and there waa a marked lack of resiliency. There were no Important news develop- menta, but speculative operators very gen erally felt a sense of disappointment over the action of the market yesterday and its easy yield to the flurry In the call money market The sensitive condition thuB Indi cated In the money market waa felt to be bad augury for any attempt to revive active speculation. The low condition of banking reserves and the many require ments ahead of the market, make the re currence of such flurries from time to time probable. Time money was not notably affected today by veaterday's development in call monev. With the easier rates for time loans, however, an . effect had ben produced on the Interior exchange In New York. The rate at Chicago which ruled at 86 rents premium last week has got back to a small discount. Some attention Is given o the minor disturbances In the Chi cago banking field A detailed estimate anneared In Wall street during the dav of the leading bond debenture and stock Issues which have made their appearance since the first of the vear. which offered an arvregate of $580,355,400, not Inrludlnr munlrlnal Issues by smaller corporations. The list Includes only securities" Issued or to be Issued Immediately and does not Include totals newlv authorised but not issued at once. It Is estimated that about 28 per cent of the Issues Is for refund ing purposes or for the purchase of other securities already on the mnrket. But te aggregate of new capital called for Is suffl lentlv Imposing and is expected to be sdded to lsreelv In the Immediate future Foreign political developments had theli Influence on the stock market bv reason of the monev situation and the possible effects there rather than from any fears of the Immediate effect on values on securities In New York from a failure of the Moroccan conference. Hume of the oar's movements Indicated feeling of misgiving over the rumors afloat which have been so large an Influence of late. The departure from the city of Presi dent Hill without announcement of the supposed nrolects affecting the properties of Mch he ! ha orwun w' for the sharp decline tn those stocks. Less oonnnent assertions were heard of tn alleaed Conner deal. The views -expressed bv the president of the United Mine Work ers, as to the chance of a settlement of the labor controversy also were discouraging. Bub-treasury operations have turned against tne banks witn the withdrawal since me bank statement of $2,642,000. but a heavy debit balance todav at the clearing house indicated an adjustment of this drain by the government Institution. The covering of short contracts by the board-room bears to take their profits on the day a decline made the only force towards tha late feeble rallv In the market and the closing waa generally easy.

The quality of the cattle. both steers and cow stuff, Is improving as the season advances, so that there la quite a showing of desirable rattle on sale nearly every day. With such large receipts for the three days of the week so far the feeling this morning waa lower, nearly everv one anticipating a little further reduction In values. 1 ne aemana, nowever, proved to be somewhat larger than had been an ticipated and the market opened reasonably eariy wun aesiraoie oeei steers selling runy sieaay wun yesterday, in fact In a few Instances salesmen thought that If anytning tney ai.i a little better than yesterday with their best cattle. Thera were quite a number of loads good enough to nrmg t.w or better. The commoner kinds of cattle a a matter of course were not so much sought after and did not sen 10 ns gooa advantage. Before me market opt-ned buvera were generally predicting a larger market on cows ana txiifers on the ground that re celpts for the week hud been heavy and that killers had been free buyers. When the trade was once under way, though It , became apparent that all the buyers had liberal orders and Instead of being lower oeairaoie ainna or rattle sola freely at pricea generally steady with yesterdav. Buii'Hinen wno were unrortunate enough to have undesirable kinds found it harder work lo unload, aa the number of ,,,rl cattle In tho yards enabled buyers to discriminate agalnat the Inferior kinds. considering tne number or cattle In the yards tlila morning the supply of Blockers and feeders was decidedly small and aa speculators qui not nave any great num ber on hand In the feeder divln on there was a good active demand.

In addition to the fresh recelpta tnera were about thirty cars, mostly all feeders, carried over from yesterday. The market today waa largely a repetition of yesterday's trade that Is, the movement was slow with feeder buyers doing a considerable prnpor tlon ot the business. Packers seemed to be pretty well filled up on both sheip and a mbs and as the most or tne offerings were none too good there was no great inducement for them to take on additional supplies. The Sheep market during tne last two dayB has received the worst black eye tha It has had In a long while. Prices at tins point, under the influence of the very good local demand and the moderate receipts have been maintained at a high point as compared with eastern markets for a long time back. The situation has undergone a decided chango this week. The receipts on Monday and Tuesday, especially un thu latter day, were very heavy and the quality 011 an average poor. . As a result prices went off rapidly and It would be no exag geration to call the market for the two days fully 50c lower than It waa last week. The decline waa the heaviest on lambs, soma of which actually Bold 75c lower than they did at the high time the early part ot last week. Good sheep and ewes on the other hand did not show as much loss for the reason that the supply of tnat kind was light. Packers have been unable to take care of all the stuff that has been coming this week and the market has de clined simply from lack of buying support. While the break litre lias Deen heavier than at some other market points this market is still well In line with eastern markets, and shippers can gain nothing by shipping by lioru to Chicago, as a com parison of th prices al tha two points Will show. As noted above, a large proportion of the recelpta has consisted of uunnlshed sheep and lambs, whluh are only good enough for feeders. The break In the market has brought pricea down to a point where the feeder buyers can take 1101a of mem and considerable buying on that account com menced yesterday, commission men are advising their friends who Intend to buy feeders tnia spring 10 get in ineir nraers now while there Is a liberal aupply and while stuff can be had to good advantage. The fact Is these feeders are selling cheaper now than last fall, when everyone was craiy to buy.
