OMAHA. April 25, 1808.
Rome activity at the opening, and ths
market rallied from yesterday's weak close.
It wan a scalping market, however, with
the bulla In control, and they realised a
fair advance on strong Liverpool cables
and very noticeable increase In demand
for all grains. Interest died out later after
offerings had been absorbed and the cah
demand satisfied.
Whee.t opned very aggressive, with
crowd favoring tha bull side and bids wers
Irons; and higher, backed by higher cables
and better demand both here and abroad.
Offerings aere readily absorbed and the
early advance was lost by lack of support.
Way wheat opened at 9ba and closed at
85c
Corn opened steady, but run nervous on
general selling, and -no one wae willing to
take the loose offerings. It was a dull
and lifeless market throughout the slow
session. May corn opened at 61o and closed
61c.
Oats were steady and unchanged, with
no feature and very little doing. May
opened at 49c and closed at ic.
Clearances were ;9,0 busliela of corn;
4.000 bushels of oats, and wheat and flour
equal to 2i8.0iiO bushels.
Liverpool closed V1 to I4 higher on

CHICAGO GRAIX .AND FROVIHOHS
Features of the Trad las' aad Closing
, Prices om Beard of Trado
CHICAGO. April 25. A sharp advance in
the price of wheat at Liverpool had a
'strengthening effect today on the local
market, the July delivery closing at a gain
of c. Corn was off V(i4c. Outs down fcc,
and provisions yaVtc higher.
The wheat market was extremely nervous
al! day, but a firm tone prevailed. Trading
St times was unusuttly active. The market
opened strong, on brisk demand by shorts
and commission houses, which was based
on an unexpected advance at Liverpool,
where prices were up H'(i'Vc In the north,
, notwithstanding the decline of 'more than
10 here yeaterday. The principal demand
at the start was for May delivery and that
option advanced nearly 2 cents within the
first few minutes. The upturn brought out
liberal offerings from longs, which caused
an equally quick decline and a loss of
nearly all the earlier gain. A feature of the
trading In the last half of the day was the
changing from May to July and September
deliveries. - This had- a tendency to
.strengthen the new crop months and to
weaken the nearby option. The market
closed Irregular, July and September being
firm, and May rather weak. May opened
Wif'-ie higher at B7Valee, advanced to
toe. i and' then declined to 87c, where ' it
closeu July opened VaTsC higher at 89$
8940. iH between ,8SS&Vc .and closed
89H.e - Clearance 'of wheat and:ftour were
equal to 168,001) bushels. Primary receipts,
27S.IAH) bushels, compared .with 735,000 bushels
the corresponding day a year ago. Minne
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 121 cars against 34 cart last week
and 6C9 cars a year ago.
The corn market was weak nearly all
day, because of free selling by commission
bouses and bull traders. The close was
easy. May opened hie higher at 67c, sold
off to 66c, and cloaed at toHc. July opened
a shade to c higher at K'iiecc solj bff
to 6110, and closed at atjtCVfcc,. Local re
ceipts, 326 cars, with 21 cars contract. Trade
In oats was moderately active, but the
range of prices was not so wide as In
wheat or corn. The close was easy. May
opened a higher, at 63t,c. sold off to 53o
and closed off at the bottom. July opened
unchanged at 45c. sold off to 45Vc, where
it closed. Receipts, 298 cars.
Provisions were easy nearly all day,
because of liquidation of May holdings. At
the close July Pork was up 10c, at S13.3H4.
Lard was 6c higher, at tii.lTTVs : ribs also
la higher, at 11.15.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,

MAUKZT LACKING IN BREADTH

NEW YORK. April 26. There were con
siderable additions to the week's rise of
prices In today's market. The further ad
ysnce was somewhat uneven and the mar
ket was lacking In .breadth. Dealings were
largely congested In special stocks, and
mesa also snowed the principal strength.
Union Pacific was the prominent example
and rose to a price higher than has been
touched since early In Auxust of last year.
Other storks touched high prices for the
present year. St. Paul and the Hill stocks
unwed closest sympathy with the move
ment In Union Pacific, while eastern
trunk line stocks and the Industrials were
quieter. Some of the Southern railway
stocks were slightly effected by the reports
of heavy damage by storms In the south.
Further extensive covering: of short con
tracts by the outstanding bear Interests was
an important factor In the market, that
Interest taking fright at the continued rise
In prices and the failure that overcame a
prominent bear house.
Profit-taking was freely pursued by hold
ers who had the benefit of the week's con-
Iderable rise In prices, and this conduced
to the uneven and, at times, Irregular
movement of prices. The success of the
Pennsylvania bond sale continued to ex
ercise a beneficial Influence on the market.
Reports of heavy over-subscriptions to the
half of the loan allotted to London, as
well as to the New York portion, kept up
the favorable Impression made by the In
cident. An evidence of the especially at
tractive character of the new bond was
the selling of other Investment securities
In London to private resources for taking
up subscriptions to It. Tho weekly re
views of the mercantile agencies recog
nised the Improvement In the commercial
tone caused by the good crop procpects,
the seasonable weather and the reflected
Influence of. the better financial situation.
Trsders attached sentimental significance
to the persistent advance in the price or
Standard Oil In the outside market. United
States Steel ruled a small fraction below
the closing price of yesterday throughout.
The market closed under the Influence
of profit-taking. The cash gain reported
In the bank statement outran all expecta
tions, reaching over- l".0"Xi.Oiio In the
averages and f9.oro.ooo n the actual condi
tion on Friday night. Thts Is In spite of
the week s outgo of $o,o00,voo In gold.
Loans of the banks contracted, but the In
crease of trust company loana was greater
than the decrease by the banks. This was
the only reflection of ' arrangements for
participation In the Pennsylvania subscrip
tions. The percentage of lngal reserve to
deposit liabilities of all the banks snd
trust companies now stands at 31.50.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value.

CATTLE There was the usual Satur
day's holiday In the yards this morning,
there being no cattle of any consequence to
make a market. The recelrts for the week
have been very light, showing some de
crease as compared with the previous week
and a' falling off of over one-half as com
pared with a year ago. Most of the cattle
received during the week have been killers,
cornfed steers predominating, with quite
a sprinkling of western hayfods and cow
stuff.
The market on beef steers has been Just
the reverse of what It was Inst week. It
will be remembered that even In the face
of moderate receipts the market last week
steadily declined, reaching the low point
on Wednesday. During the last two days
of the week, with almost no cattle on sale.
prices reacted somewhat. The Improve
ment continued all this week, and at the
close prices are 264i35c higher on tho gon-
eral run of beef steers than they were on
the low day last week. Handy light cattle
of good quality In many cases are 40c
higher. Resides showing a gooa improve
ment In prices, the trade has been more
active, so that on most days the cattle
have been sold by 10 o'clock in the morning
at least. .
Good cows and heifers have advanced
lOfelbc during the week, which Just about
sets off the decline last week. While the
good grades have been fairly active sellers
throughout the week, common and medium
kinds have been a little slow to move, and
the market on such 'has not shown very
much Improvement.
The. supply of stockers and feeders on
most days was so light as to sttract very
little attention to that branch of the trade.
The demand, however, was fully equal to
the receipts, and the offerings sold quite
readily every day at good, strong prices.
There appears to be a somewhat better
feeling In the market for stock cattle, due
to there having been general rains In sur
rounding territory.
Quotations on cattle: Good to choice corn-

HOGS Hogs opened with a good shipping
demand, and with desirable kinds, such as
shippers could use, selling at prices that
were strong to 6c higher than yesterday.
In other words, the early hogs sold largely
at 85.42Wfi6.46. with a top at 86.50. With ad
vices from other points favorable, packers
were not In the least inclined to follow
shippers' lead, and, accordingly, as ship
filled their orders and dropped out, the
market weakened, closing ofjloc lower, that
la, 5c lower than yesterday's general mar
ket. The late hogs sold largely at ti.iaVtr
(.40. Everything In sight was cleaned up In
good season.
lrur the week the receipts nave been very
light, showing a large falling off as com
pared with the previous week snd a sill!
heavier decrease as compared with a year
ago. The matket haa had a lower tendency
this week. It will be remembered that at
tho close of last week there was a little
reaction from the low point on Thursday,
and that reaction continued over into the
present week, hogs selling a little stronger
on Monday. Commencing with Tuesday,
the market traveled down hill rapidly until
Thursday, alien the low point was reached,
not only for the week, but for the month
to date. On Friday there was a substantial
reactloiv which was fairly well maintained
today In spite of the weak close. The week
winds up a good los lower than the close
of last week.
