GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Expected Bulge Headed Off by Disapr pointing Cables. SETBACK THEN COMES ALONG Liberal World Shipments' " for the) Week Cause Traders ta Take Profits and Sell Lens; Holdings. OMAHA. Feb. S, 191S, The expected bulge was headed off by disappointing cables, and a set back came. Liberal world's shipments for the week caused traders to take profits and the sale of long holdings becme the feature. Wheat worked off easy soon after the opening. Heavy cables caused good selling and the strength shown at Winnipeg was the only sustaining feature. Considerable long wheat van put on the market later and waa not well taken. Values were easy at the close. May wheat opened at 86V: and closed at 94Vc. Corn was soft with wheat and sold off on general selling by long holders and the pit crowd. There was no ginger to the buy ing side and the tone was not strong nuar the close. May option opened at 66V and closed at &i;aC. The weakness In wheat and corn softened the outs market and, coupled with heavy selling, became a detrimental factor. May oats opened at bec and closed at W1,. Clearances were 331.0"O busnels of corn, 1,826 bushels of oats and wheat and Hour equal to 64. '3 bushels. Liverpool closed VGd lower on wheat and unchanged to vd lower on corn. Pealxiard reported 24,OnO bushels of wheat and 12o,oa) bushels of corn taken for ex port. Primary wheat receipts were 443.000 bush els and shipments were S4ti.li bushels, against receipts last year of Jxo.OuO bushels and shipments of 17S.sk( bushels.

Liberal Australian shipments and a consequent decline at Liverpool caused weakness In the wheat market, May showing u net loss of lc at the close. Corn was c lower. Oats closed He down. Provisions were a shade to 2V4'u So higher. 1 . Thu decline oi V4d In Liverpool cables, unlooked for. considering strength which prevailed here during the previous session and which was reflected In the opening quotations on, the Chicago , xehange, wm followed by reports that supplies f,or"do mestkj .and . foreign consumption were plentiful. Australia .was. shown to have shipped 455,000 bu. more .than-during . tlie preoeduig weeik and the word )uments, estimated at i ll.ao.ooo bu., were' regarded as-greatly in excess of the weekly re quirements. The - opposing Influenoe of smaller Canadian and , northwestern re. serves tn the .estimates for the comlrur week failed to rescue the murket from the lower level. Muy was off feiufac at the opening, advanced to 9Kc, . and was later forced back to 97,c by tne weignt or orrer Ings. The close was weak pt 970. Primary receipts were 443.003 bu.. compared with 344.000 bu. a year ago. Clearancea of wReat and flour wrn equal to 06.000 .uu. Minne apolis. Duluth and Chicago , reported . rvt Celpts of Zliy cars, against 194 last. Week and i74 a year ago. . - Corn waa lower, owing to. Increased coun try offerings and favorable weather for the movement, . but -the market exhibited a degree of steadiness in view tit the weak ness in wheat. There was considerable week-end profit-taking and the trading waa without feature. May opened Wifio lower at eiNc to 6ll,c. advanced to eiMitfl'ko, and declined later to SIVj'oOlc. The elose Was easy at tilc. Local receipts were 2(M cars, with none of contract grade. Oats were dull and neglected and fol lowed the downward trend of other grains. Elevator Interests favored the bear side, but at the low point the bull leaders of fered support. The May option, starting VhC lower at 54Hc, ranged between 5to and 51e, and closed easy at 64c. Local receipts Wero 1G7 cars. . The provisions market displayed strength at the opening on a smaller run of hogs than estimated, for1 Chicago, but could not withstand' the effects of liberal receipts elsewhere combined with tho influence of grain -weakness. May pork opened at $12.(0 to $11.06. advanced to $12,20 and closed at limb to $12.r.( a gam of Hj6c .

Receipts for the week were 17.750 and show a decrease of About l.&O as compared with last week and of neatly 7,000 head as com pared with the first week In February a year ago. There has been a broad outlet for the cettle owing to favorable advice from eastern, markets snd the moderate supplies an! the trend of values has been higher from start to finish. Compared with the close of last week prices are 15(2oc higljr on the general run on beef. Th fair to good grades show rather more Improve ment than either the choice cows or the short fed and warmed up grades. In cows and heifers the advance has been even more marked than In beef steers, owing to the very limited bfferlngs . of. butchers' and dinners' stock. Both local puckers and outside buyers "have taken hold freely and closing quotatioua are In the-nelghborhood of 26g3oc higher than a week ago. The market for veal calves has been dull nnd lower, the week's decllno. amounting to 25b60c. There hag been a good demand right along for- bulls, stags etc., and prices have been fairly well abs tained on anything of this kind, the rah go being $2.5(4(4.00 for poor to best grades. Not-withstanding the sharp Improvement In beef cattle, the trade on atoekers and feed, era , has been very unsatisfactory. Prices were higher, but since then the demand from the country has fallen off very ma terially and the movement haa been slack. Even the more desirable grades ere 15M ' lower than a week ago. While, th de cline on the ordinary light and medium weight kinds has been 2C(f40c. The. decline haa brought out- a botten demand "toward the close of the week and there la a prob ability that the supply will- be well cleaned up and a better trade developed next week.

HOGS For a Saturday the supply was fairly liberal and the week's receipts aver age up substantially the same aa last week and nearly 20.000 heavier than for the cor responding week a year ago. The market today was active and strong, with the range of prices and the bulk of aalea sub. atarttlally the same as on yesterday. Dur ing (he past week tbere has been, no ma terial change In the conditions surround ing and governing the trade and closing prices are practically the same as at the clote of last week. Both local packers and outside buyers show a preference for and pay a premium oa the good weight and Duality' hogs and all classes of buyers iscriminate sharply against thin, light and under-welght stuf. For fair to good hogs of alt weights, however, the range of prices is not very wide; the top today was $4 33 and the bulk trf tha tradV around $4.10fa 4.26, or substantially the same as a week ago.

Receipt for the past week foot up upwards of 32.000 head in round numbers, as against 2.i9 iiead for the week preceding and 33.560 head for the corresponding period a year ago, thus sltowlug that the nuanher, while not large, is fully as liberal as the correaitondlng season last year. Outside of a little weakness shown en lambs carrying much weight there has been no material .change In the market throughout the week for mutton grades. The lambs sold this week up to $6 76. a price fully Up to last week's basis. Other grades of mutton sheep, such aa yearlings, ewea and wethers, aUo sold fully steady throughout the week. In the feeding division the supply haa scarcely equalled the demand and while tbere has been no very material x-hange in prices the demand has been strong throughout the week on feeding lambs espe cially. The general tone of tho trade is satisfactory all around. Receipts today amount to seven ears. Including a few load that were billed through to eastern feeding points. The Inquiry from packers was sufficient to take tip the offerlnee in good season at practically unchanged prices, with the tone rather strong than otherwise.

CONDITION OF OMAHA TRADE Jobbers Await Sprinir Buyers, Who Are Slow in Arriving;. "SHOPPING," NOT BAYING GOODS Wholesalers Are Maklna Knee la 1 Prlrea and flayers Who Come In Ilurlntr Meat Week Will, Uel Rara-nlas. Wholesaler of Omaha enter .the feurth week of Die spring merchants meetings Monday morning. The attendance during the past week has not been large. Most everything seems ss unsettled as tho Weather. Merchants do not seem to kmuv whther to buy for spring and prepare to open early for tho trade, or delay lor a month to see what tho weather will permit. The general feeling is that lliere will bo, at least two weeks ol bltler cold weather and some deep snow before winter Is entirely gone. For this reason complaints are being heard tn Johhlng quarters over tle slowness of spring buying. In the maturity of cases the merchants who are coming in are re ported to be "shopping" rather than buy ing goods. Tin to Kccnis to be a good bit of uncertainty In their minds aa to the fu ture course of prices, and tills is responsible for the restrained demand In the dry gooda lines at least. Tho action of buyers ar riving by the plan of Xmahn wholesalers paying the fare, during the next tvsro weeks Will be watched with much Interest. Other Cities Wllh Omaha. What Is true of Onitiliu is true of other Jobbing centers from the far west to New York city, where tho bhers report almost dnlly that new busmees for spring Is slow. Siierlnls are being offered In different houses throughout the market, and some of the small out of town buyers from near by sections are taking these goods in fair uuantiiles. Htiyers coming to Omaha during the next two weeks will find many goods at low values, which will help -out on bargain days, such us woman s hosiery In gnu 10, iare at good Talucs and spring underwear. Some of the new spring goods shown in the departments are the most attractive ever put out by the Omaha houses and a very fair volume of orders haa already been booked on the lines. In the white goods market there is a temporary lull, caused by most of the bu.xcrs being different to the offerings now being made. The condition of the market Indicated that some repeat orders will be placed before the end of the month un lines of household gouds and somu of the plain staple piece goods. V lillu not tuking on goods, the merchants of the city ami from out of town are accepting tlic mercliundlee that is due them on contracts. Tho sales during the pusi month has been heavy, too retullers now being determined tu ctosu out their stocks con-pletely. . hhoea anil , Rubbers Move. Snow and Ice have made a good trade nit, shoes and rubbers Willi the retailers, and a tew days more of bad weather will result in the retailers culling for new lines of goods, though ut the present time most letall stores have good stocks of goods which they have fulled to close out becauH Of the open winter. The present apetl 101 been ulxiut the first which required a pair of rubbers for every man, woman and child tn the state, all other storms passing over In a few hours, and leaving streets in good condition.
