THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 1, 1912. 5-D GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Trade looks for Big Accumulation of Wheat by Tuesday. CAE SHORTAGE AFFECTS TRADE While Shipping Easiness In OmU Ha Bern Large of Late, It U Small In Proportion to the Slse of the Crop. OMAHA Aur. 31. 1912, It was the popular thins after toe close yesterday to ta.k bearish on wheat be cause of the prospective big run from the spring crop. They have been bulling wheat for two weeks because the crop did not move. The drop in cash wheat premiums at Minneapolis was the most natural thing in the world in the face of the large receipts. No doubt there will be a complete loss of the premiums In that quarter today or early next week. The trade will naturally look for a big accumulation or wheat by Tuesday morn, ing. Grain men are inclined to think the trade here will attach too much impor tance to the first big run of ppring wheat and will get oversold. Because of the long, wet period abroad foreigners may want large quantities of dry wheat from this side of the ocean, and it will not be surprising if they buy on any sharp de cline. It looked at the close yesterday as If the local trade had overbought In corn around the top prices, and when the re action In wheat came there was an over scelling. Some of the cool-headed leaders replaced their lines on the breaks. The situation in this trade has not changed materially, with the new crop months at an abnormal discount under September and cash corn traders think this suggests the buying side of the new crop months on any forced setback. The car shortage win have to be remembered, as the coun try has a bumper crop and shippers may find It difficult to fill sales to the last, even for the early winter months. Okla homa was offering new corn for Septem ber and October shipments yesterday, but cash people here do not look for much of a movement in the new crop months for some ume. While shipping business in oats has been large of late, it Is so small in pro portion to the size of the crop that they have not made a dent in it yet. The weakness in the September oats yesterday was attributed to hedging sales. Export- era said they were afraid to sell oats east because of the scarcity of cars which may prevent them from delivering enough oats to fill sales already made, .

Corn showed a net loss of c to lZc and oats a fall of c to c In " pro visions the outcome varied from 10c de cline to an advance of 7c. In consequence of the break of wheat prices, export business picked up some what. Attention of speculators, how ever, fixed Itself tenaciously on the fact that primary receipts had reached nearly double the total of a year ago and that for lack of storage room wheat at stations in western Kansas was be ing piled on the ground.- December de livery ranged between 92c and 94c, clos ing l4c net lower, at 93o even. Corn weakened owing to predicted frost turning out to be a myth. Decem ber fluctuated from 55c to 5W4&55c and closed steady o off, at 665oc. Cash grades were in fair demand. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 7980c. Oats sagged with wheat and corn. Outside limits touched for" December were SiMc and 32c a net loss of c. Provisions joined in the general weak ness.

For the week receipts have been quite liberal, being about on a par with the two previous weeks, but as compared with a year ago there has been a falling off of almost 10,000 head. Receipts have consisted al most entirely of range cattle with a com parative small sprinkling of native grass ers and corhteds. Owing to tiie large receipts of cattle and to a decrease in the consuming de mand for beef, the market on fat steers this week has shown a sharp decline. Choice cornfeds have not changed so much, but the general run of talr to pretty good cornteds and western rangers are 25c lower than last week. One in fluence that helped to break the market was the poor country demand for feed ers as many cattle were left for packers that would otherwise have gone to feeder buyers. Cows and heifers broke very sharply during the early part of the week, but owing to light receipts and a pretty fair olivine demand. th mat-bar firman un later on, so that at the close it Is If auyiiiiiig a miie stronger tnan ono week ago. Speculators and yard traders were very free buyers of stookers and feeders dur ing the early part of the week and the market waa strong and active at the tieninninir. I.ntnr nn ti hunn,. parent that the country was not buying win uio expeciea ireeaom, tne trade became very slow and prices dropped off rapidly, closing around 50c lower on all but a few of the very best fleshy feeders and yearlings. The poor buying demand on the part of the country seemed to be due entirely to a feeling that cur rent prices were too high.

The ewes and lambs sold at steady prices. While the supply was liberal the first of the week, there was a marked falling off during the last days. On the whole the receipts were no more than moderate, as about 7,900 head more were marketed last week and approximately 42,000 more were yarded durng the corresponding week a year ago. Packing Interests took a large percentage of the offerings as a good share of the stuff was Just fat enough ' for killing and a little heavy and too fat to suit the majority of feeder buyers.

STAND AEDIZE MORTGAGE FORMS National President Jndd Suggests t se of Blanks to Be Negotiable at Any Bank Speaks Before Real Estate Exchange. Handsome offices in the Omaha Na tional bank building have been established by Charles W. Martin, formerly vice president and secretary of the Norris & Martin company In The Bee building. In the new place he will continue alone with a real estate, rental and insurance busi ness. His former partner will continue busi ness in The Bee, building under the firm name of Norris & Norr'.s. Mr. Martin is highly appreciative of Omaha as a location for1 his real estate business. Prior to the establishment of his firm. Charles Vf. Martin St Co.. Mr. Martin made a trip to the west coast. In Portland, Ore., he made a study of his line of business. Portland, he de clares, is the liveliest real estate market along the western const, but at that It is far below Omaha In that line of busi ness. Competition, he says, Is unusually strong there and real estate prices are abnormally high. And this runs along with slow business. Showing the difference in compet'tlon. Martin points out that the Portland telephone directory has l'sted 900 rental firms. In the Omaha telephone directory there nfe eighty-five. Prices there, ho avers, are considerably higher than in Omaha. "Omaha." he says, "is one of the best cities in the country for the Investor In real estate There Is no boom here such as obtains In Portland and other western cities, but prices of Omaha real estate are gradually and steadily Increasing a healthy growth. And the territory surrounding Omaha Is infinitely better than Portland's adjaoent districts. "In returning home," he says, "I passed through the western part of Nebraska and was amased to see the farm lands and graslng districts In such excellent condition. The grass was green even In the country which usually Is sandy. Near Portland there are po such sights." Joy Rides Furnished With Marriage Lines Rev. Charles W. Savidge, the "marrying parson," united in wedlock two young couples yesterday afternoon and at the end of each ceremony treated the newly weds to a joy ride In his automobile. In cidentally the parson admits he exceeded the speed regulations. At 3 o'clock George Arnold and Clara Barker of Council Bluffs called at the Savidge residence to be married. They forgot the license and the minister had to take them to the court house to secure one. He then tied the knot and hustled them to the dpot In time for them to catch a "honeymoon special" train. When he returned to his home the parson found another couple awaiting him, and in a similar predicament as the first two lovers. The same performance was again gone through, and when the finishing "touches" were put on. Rev. Mr. Savidge looked at his watch and found that he had married two couples, boosted the business at the county Judge's officu twice, acted as a taxi chauffeur twice and cotlected a couple of fees all in one hour. The suggestion made by Edward Judd. president of the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges, before the special meeting of the Omaba exchange, that mortgage forms should be standardised, was taken by Omaha realty men with appreciation, As President Judd said, It will be Just a matter of time until these forms re the same throughout the coun try and negotiable at any bank. In standardising them they will be placed In a class with regular bank notes, being much easfrr for handling and far more familiar to the realty novice. Because the flrst'schoduled meeting of the Real Estate exchange coincides with Omaha day at the state fair at Lincoln, thra exchange at the last called meeting voted to postpone the first meeting a week later.
