GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
'Wheat Outlook it Generally FaTor
able, with Some Cash Demand.
CORN HAS HAD A FAIR UPTURN
Offerings from the oonlry Are
More Liberal on the Small Ad- ,
vanre Cash situation
.la Firm.
OMAHA. March 11. 1911.
The wheat market has been without any
thing In the way of positive bull news o
long that reports of damage are acted upon
with more than usual vigor. It Is decidedly
early to follow crop scares as yet and with
any further advances long wheat will
probably be for sale as the crop outlook
Is general very favorable and cash demand
remains discouraging.
The torn market has had a fair upturn
for the week and receivers are reporting
more liberal offerings from the country
on this advance. The cash corn situation
Is firm and trices are working slowly
nearer the future levels. It Is ressonable
1o lelleve that the movement will be light
owing to the spring farm work and heavy
feeding operations going on.
The wheat trade was evenly divided,
buyers having a little the advantage, senti
ment favoring an upturn. Cash values
were stronger at He higher.
f'orn was active and sympathized with
wheat and prices worked a shade higher.
Receipts were more liberal on the advance,
but rash prices were steady to 'e higher.
Primary wheat rei elpts were 400.000 bush
els and shipments were 2ns.on bushels,
against receipts last year of 646.000 bush
els and shipments of 210,000 bushels.
1'rlmary corn receipts were 529.000 bush
els and shipments were 472.000 bushels,
against receipts lart year of 3O7.000 bush
els and shipments of 'Mx.Onn bushels.
Clearances were 845.000 bushels of corn,
none of nets and wheat and flour equal to
161.000 bushels.
Liverpool closed unchanged to 'sd higher
on wheat and ViVl higher on corn.

CHICAGO. March I). Nervousness re
garding possible alarming discoveries' by
crop experts, who had been hurried out
from here to Investigate rumors of Hes
sian fly In Illinois and Indiana wheat
fields, turned prices suddenly upward to
day. Closing figures w.-re firm at a net
advance of e to V-c. Corn finished e to
V'CiC higher than last night, .oats un
changed to c off and provisions down
24c to 2(Vj22Sc.
Although Hessian fly developments were
no worse than the day previous and there
was a general disposition to believe that
damage tales were so early In the season
as to he unreliable, shorts were uneasy,
and finally ran to cover rather than
stand out over Sunday. Definite state
ments from Chicago crop experts were ex
pected to have considerable effect In the
trading Monday morning. The fright took
hold In earnest, the market had been
weak because of large world's shipments,
especially on acount of heavy forward -Ings
from Russia. In addition rain fell
throughout southern Minnesota and more
was predicted tonight for the upper Mis
sissippi vallev. The close was almost the
top point of the session. May ranged from
Ko to HlVuOI'iC, with last sales 8c up
at 91M.C
I.ocal bull houses bought with consid
erable vigor In the corn pit. May flucTIi

corn was steady; No. 2 yellow, finished at

Commission houses were good sellers of
mall lots of oats. May touched as high
and low limits 3ic and 30V:U, with the
close 'nc off at SlVac.
There was no special demand for hog
products. Accordingly the market dragged
lower and In the end was 15c. to 20fr22Hc

Mnch to Do With Specn.
latlve Business.
NEW YORK, March 11. -(Special Tele
gram.) Rusin-?E dealings on the stock ex
cnange during the week represented a
market In a siate of equilibrium, but while
prices held thcli own In a narrow fluctua
tion, the value of trade Is at the lowest
level since the first of the year. The In
active state of the merket Is not an Indi
cation of a lack of a prosperity among the
manufacturers and agricultural classes, but
lather to artificial conditions that may fi
nally make for permanent development for
the great Industrial enterprises and busi
ness operations of the country.
The current movement of prices on the
stock market has a negative side which Is
Important. During the last two weeks one
adverse development after another has
come forth to test the market.
First thero were the rate decisions, fol
lowed by the refusal of the Interstate Com
merce commission to entertain the appeal
by the eastern railroads that the order to
cancel should not take effect for six
mcnths, In order to give time for the com
tanles to make out a stronger case for
higher tariffs. Next came the anxiety over
the extra session of congress and the re
opening of the tariff controversy.
Mexico Cute a Figure.
This week 4 more serious phase for a
time was given to political troubles In
Mexico by tho massing of United States
tn,opg on tha frontier.
The New York Central cut Its dividend
fiom 8 to S per cent and the permanence of
otjier Tallroad dividends was called In ques
tion by the poor comparisons which many
of trie January net earning statement
made with a year ago.
The monthly figures of the copper trade
exhibited no decrease In the rate of pro
duction, while foreign consumption was
hhown to have fallen off and stocks of the
metal to havo Increased 14,300,000 pounds.
Over all there was hung the great uncer
tainty of the pending decisions In the anti
trust cases, tr.e recognition that they may
Involve changes of the most vital Import
ance to the business organization of the
country, and the consequent determination
of Investment capital to hold aloof from
stocks until the opinion of the supreme
court Is known.
It can be seen then that In the ap
parent lack of Interest there has been really
a purely natural market, holding 1t
grounds on lis merits. The general trade
movement has been ail mai migni. m ex
pected. American export trade in both cot
ton and grain shows an increase over for
mer vears. Er gland and other European
countries are Importing more grain this

Wheat on passage for Europe has pasBed
the 50,000,000 bushel mark, and Is probably
ntarlng the maximum of the season. The
Increase during the last week, 3,000.0ii0
bushels more, brought the total up to 52,
57U.O00 bushels. That Is several million
bushels more than last year and over
lO.OW.OiiO bushels greater than a month ago.
The Increase Is due mostly to Argentine,
Australian and Indian as well as Russian
and American shipments. Russia and the
United States are both very heavy export
er, arwl lnriln. and Australia together eon-
tribute about as much as each of the other
The United States steel corporation re
ports unfilled orders at 3.400,543 tons on
February 28. This compares with unfilled
orders of 3.110.919 tons In January 31. 1911.
an increase of ZXMM tons. The principal
feature of interest In copper for the week
was the February report of the association
which showed bn lnerese of 14 198.2SO
pounds In surplus stocks, which on the
first . of March were 156.637.770 pounds.
which Is nearly 50.ifl0.000 pounds greater'
than the stocks carried a year ago.
The statement of domestic exports for
the month of February did not appear to
receive the attention thst !t deserved. In
quarters where tho figures were com
mmu r.n tho showing was regarded as
excellent. The month's exports amounted
to nearlv IKS 000.000. as compared witn !,
400,000 la't year, and $61,000,000 for tho same
month In 1909.
Dull on Stork Exchange.
Inactivity prevaded the stock exchange
todav, the total amount of stock sales b.
Ina 66.053 shares, one-third of which were
United States steel and Reading. The bond
market, however, was relatively more ac
tive. The opening was dull and but for frac
tional advances in Missouri Pacific Ca
nadian Pacific and Reading, and equal
losses In National Railways of Mexico sec
ond preferred, prices were about at a par
ity with laBt night's close. At the close
today the dullness was, relieved for a few
minutes by the appearance of some pres
sure that caused recessions in a number of
issues. Including 800, common, which
yielded a point. There was also a frac
tional decline In Reading, but this was
partly recovered. Central Leatber con
tinued weak, sustaining a further loss, sell
ing at a lower price than has been rec
orded In a long time.
As had been expected, the banks todav
reported a considerable loss In cash. The
actual decrease was $4,l'00.0fl0 and In the
meanwhile loans and large corporations
borrowings txpanded $10. 700.0(0. The re
sult Is $ti.000.0u0 decreases in the surplus
reserve: but that reserve remains not only
$.72 000 0ii0 above this week lust year, but
exceeds nil otheis of the fourteen years'
past, save only 1108. As was the cane lasv
week, loans Inoreased faster than de
posits. The excess of deposits now Is $37,
400,010. as against $44,700,000 a fortnight ago.
But this Is still a handsome margin. A
year ago this week loans ran beyond de
posits, seven weeks aft.-rward the loan
excess had reached $27,400,000.

HOUS For a Saturday, hog trade this
moiniug was rather peculiar, sluit a liitie
bu,nca wit tiantacuu eurly at liguie
higher, but two or three ot the larger
pucKeia held out lor uiiouanged or very
nearly steady cost. Shippers and specula
tola bought more freely than any other
class of buyers at the advance and lur
nlshed an outlet lor about 20 per cent of a
UO-load supply. Small packing drove
were put up shortly after the market
opeiieu ai p. ices aiounu a n.cael iiigiier,
but the demand became very slack misr
and final clearance was made at figure
no better than those of yesterday.
More or less activity featured move
ment while It was possible for sillers 10
obtain the advance, but as soon as price
began to settle 10 yesterday's levels, 11 au
Ing became dull In both divisions.
Prices on long strings remained at re
cent narrow spreaus, a lat ge portion of
total receipts moving at $6.7o'B65. Choice
bacon animals sold as high as $6.95, which
figure was also extreme nigh price a week
ago. Extra heavy and rough packing
grades had to move at $6.70 and less.
Today's early Improvement leaves the
tram steady to only a shade lower than
last Saturday's market. Trend to prices
lately has been generally weaker, due to
bearish condition of supply, demand an I
product levels, but midweek losses were
almost wholly regained yesterday and
today.

RY PRESTON C. AIAM
NEW ORK, March 11. (Special to The
Hee. Now that the fi eight rate derision
of the InterMute Commerce coiumiaMoii
ban been digested, tin railroad liave de
cided not to no to Mna.-li after all, but will
do business In about the tame old way. In
fact some of the railroad magnates nave
about come to tin- con iimlon mat the de
cision may not be an unmixed evil after
all. It is pointed oui Ciat the greatest
enemy ot Amirleuii (..;itul during recent,
yi nrs ha In ell ln H i public sentiment;
the uiicompioini-in c vanu taken by the
Interstate I on, ni. lie nmmusMoii should
and probably will disarm cntlclsin that the
railroad run levy unreasonable charges
upon I lie people. Such a conquest Is worth
more to the corporations than any sum
that could have been derived from the
proposed Increase In freight rates If tha
ruling also has the effect of clucking the
sgKresslvetiess of state cunimlss.ons now
that the federal body has taken i-ffcctlv
action, another great good will Imve been
accomplished. The econnmla readjustment
which has hern In" progress for twelve
months will bo accelerated, whereas th
granting of higher charges would have
tended to perpetuate the vicious circle ot
rising pr'ce-dld not labor leaders plead
for the proposed advances on the ground
that thereafter wages might be again
raised? This h:is been becked.
Extravngniiec ot I nLnonn,
Opulence begetn extravagance; necessity
stimulates economy. American railroad
companies have been lavish In their ex
penditure upon what might be called the
ornamental, ns witness the erection ot
veritable pulnccs as stations In Ihe larger
cities. If the public refuses to provide the
money for such projects, then there will
be a lull In improvements of this kind un
til conditions ugaln change for the better
and conditions In 'n young and progressive
country are fur more likely to recover
than to retrograde.
Low freight rules will encourage traffic,
wheriiH high r.itfa would discourage It, a
fuel thai was very cleati. understood and
acted upon when debuting was In vogue.
The railroads were actualcd to some ex
lent In their move to secure Increased
rates by agitation for dot rt asen; this agi
tation has hen quashed.
So the outlook limy not be so black after
nil. Tho public having consistently refused
during Ihe last three years to play with
Wall street under" the old rules 10-polnt
margins easily wiped nut new and safer
rubs have been drawn up. with every
j promise of success. Instead of being a

of course, the monthly payments have

buyer knows the extent of his liability,' v

Investor under the new system should be
extremely currful In selecting a broker
and should also have a hard and fast
agreement as to what would happen were

Since January 1. 1907, the total output
of new Hecuritles by railroad and Indus
trial corporations In the I'nited States hea
reached $6.379,044. 880. Of this total $1,083,
"Hi.MU Tins consisted of short-term notes.
This Is equivalent lo I7'n per cent.
Thr. railroads were rcaponsiblo for $88, -800,0)2
of the notes, tho balance of $204,.
916,800 having been contributed by Indus
trial and miscellaneous companies.
The largest percentage of notes wil
reached in 1907, namely almost one-fourta
of tho total capital floated. In . the fol
lowing year the proportion Just exceeded
21 per cent. Then there was a drop In 19,
to little more than E per cent, there having
heeen plenty of cheap money and un
bounded confidence In a return of prosper
ity throughout the country. Short term
llnanclng was again resorted to last year
on a fairly large scale, the ratio being IS
I", r cent. During the current year, that
Is lo say, from Janunry 1 to February 2L
the note Issues have been equivalent to 24
per cent of the. total capital distributed.
The riillroiuls have utilized notes much
more freely than tho industrial companies
have found necessary. Th" latter have put
out somewhat less than one-fifth of th
trend aggregate of $1,(93.716,802.
Heavy Cotton I'vport.
There have been about 6.2SO.00O bales of
cotton exported (his year, iihout I,7a0.0o0
more than at the same time last year.
This cotton la not piled up at the ports
on the other side. While It Is true that
Ihe stock of American cotton In Liverpool
'h 286.IKAI bales larg. r than It was at thl
time a year ago. The foreigners are still
tuning, and at the end of the season the
difference between the exports of this year
and last will probably be greater than It
Is today. The foreigners have not bought
cotton to hold not at lli cents a pound.
They have bought heavily only because
they needed the cotton.
Never In the history of the world have
there been as many s Indies In operation
in Kncland us there hnvc been during the
lint six mon'hs. The manv new mills are
sll running, and ho arc the old ones. Thev
will need more American cotton before
they can get a new cop unless there Is
si me radical change in conditions.
It begins to look as If there was not
going to bo as much cotton left for do
mtsllc mills as there was last your, for in
rplte of th" free movement, the south Is
no longer full of cotton, as the chara,ctor
of the cotton now moving plainly show.
The nil look for tho rest of tills year la
fully as good as It was at this time a year
neo. It lnokks ns If American mills still
lave n great dral of potion to buy.
U ersupiilles of llrnln.
Grain traders say that they have not In
yeiirs seen a situation In which bearish
features liuve come to u focus so com
pletely ns I hey have done und.-r present
conditions. The markets throughout the
world apJiHrenllv are overburdened with
supplies. The theoretical requirements of
Europe are 10.000.(88) bushels a week, which
estimate is based upon the experience of
several years, with n proper allowance for
natural Increase. Only during one week
of the present crou MU'un have the ship
ments from exporting countries to the Im
porting countries fallen below thl figure,
and on occasion even readied the enor
mous totiil of 17.('i0(i0i) bushels.
The export situation la one of which all
exporting countries are showing deep oon
cern. It Is barely possible that the United
Statei mac participate lo some slight ex- -tent
because of what amounts to the prac
tical demoralization of wheal prices
throughout the world. Russia has enor
