OMAHA, Oct 4, 1911
Liverpool entirely ignored the Balkan
Situation. The reason for this undoubt
edly is the determination of tho European
Bowers to prevent a spread of the trouble
between the belligerent state and Turkey
and possibly prevent the closing of any
Important ports. , If this proves true the
war, whether it Is for a day or a year,
will have little Influence on prices on
this side of the ocean. Leaving the possi
bility of a scare over the foreign troubles
out of the question, the situation remains
an heavy as it was three days ago, when
December wheat ,sold at 89a Fine
weather will Increase the spring crop re
ceipts and probably Increase the hedging
ales and become a, factor on the selling
Bide of wheat Cash, wheat, c higher.
There is considerable talk of, the bull
operations in September going 'into the
October contracts. There is no reason
why they should not,, with supplies light
and the demand active for the cash prop
erty. This situation Is likely to have a
checking tendency on December corn sales
until the trade sees how generally the
country will offer corn for that month,
and in what shape the railroads are to
move It. ' In a general way the feeling is
bearish, on .the outcome of the big crop,
regardless of some frost damage to late
fields Traders believe this selling pres
sure will exert Itself chiefly in May con
tracts. From a feed standpoint the out
look Is bearish. Cash corn unchanged.
The oats market continues strong in
all markets with the Armour commission
buying the May option heavily. Cash
oats was unchanged.

Darlar, tke Week.
NEW YORK, Oct 4.-Europe was again
the foremost factor in today's stock
market. Latest deevlopments in tho
Balkan situation precipitated heavy sell
ing of our securities at leading toreign
centers, much of which had to be taken
here.
Foreign selling did not materialize ex
tensively until after the close of the
European exchanges. London's closing
quotations for our stocks were highly
encouraging with gains of a point or
more in Atchison, Canadian Paciflo and
St. Paul. These were all duplicated here,
the first hour's business being on an
extensive scale, but local selling fi
profits and the short account soon ar
rested the rise. Later, when the offer
ings from abroad were sent In. the en
tire market began to sag and before the
closing nothing was left of the early rise
except In a few instances. The closing
was active and heavy, with fitful ral
lies from the low level.
Money conditions were favorable to the
market. Not only did call and money
rates relax, but our bankers cancelled
a large part of the gold engaged in
London during the week. This was ac-
epted as proof of Improvement in the
monetary situation. According to fore
casts, the clearing house banks are ex
pected to break even on the week's cash
movement, with the loan account In
doubt, as usual. Additional shipments
of currency to New Orleans were an
nounced, making the total more than
$1,600,000 for the week.
AuguM railroad returns Included
Chesapeake 4 Ohio with a net increase
of $113,000; Illinois Central, with a net
decrease of $217,000 and Denver & Rio
Grande with a surplus decrease of $89,000.

CATT.LE Receipts of cattle were Hunt
today, only eighty-nine cars being re
ported In. It was fortunate, however.
that the run was so small, as there is
never an active demand on a KVidav.
Most buyers had already laid In a good
supply of cattle and were not very anx
ious for additional stuff. Thus it hap
pened that the trade from start to finish,
was slow and of an uninteresting and In
different character. Desirable kinds of
both killers and feeders were generally
steady, with undesirable stuff hard to
move. .
For the week oornfed cattle would un
doubtedly be a little lower it there had
been enougn of tnat kind here to really
test out the market as prices at eastern
points have slumped sharply. W cetera
beef steer nave eased on a little, al
though the decline has not been very
noticeable on the better class of stock.
Cows and heifers for the week are a
little higher, being anywhere from strong
to as much4jka lftjyJQc higher oa tho better
kinds. -
Feeders have been steadily firming an
until good light and medium weight cat
tle are about as high as any time, Dut
the . best heavy or fleshy feeders have
not advanced so much, and they are
still a little lower than they were at the
extreme high point

HOGS A little further improvement in
th hoc trade was noticed today, as the
general market is quotably steady to a
nickel higher tnan yesteraay. wnue tne
packers were somewhat Indifferent buy
ers all the morning, they secured the big
bulk of the offerings at prices almost
steady. As tor some little time back,
the shipping demand was light the num
ber of loads bought on that account be
ing small. A llttls speculation was done
at the opening, but considerably ieae than
on Thursdays market Speculator!
operated on a basis of a nickel advance,
some of their purchases being not quite
a nickel higher. If anything, trade was
a trifle slow in getting started, and at
no time could the market be described
as any better than fairly active. Closing
business may possibly have been a little
weak in comparison with the eariy trade.
some of tho packer buyers having dropped
out of the late market The buik ot the
sales went at a range of $8.558.65, the
best hogs on sals bringing as much as
$8.70, . Just 2Vi cents above yesterday's
high mark. Practically everything was
sold on today s marxet in gooa season.
Receipts foot about fifty-four cars, or
$,euu head, as compared with 3,708 head
last Friday, 2,267 head two weeks ago
and 1.702 head on the corresponding day
a year ago. .As a rule the quality of the
hogs was as good as could be expected
tor this urns of year.

SHEEP A very liberal supply of sheep
and lambs arrived here for a Friday,
as about sixty-eight loads, or 17,000 head,
were reported in, as against 5,609 head a
week ago, 7,441 head two weeks ago, and
1,801 head on the corresponding day last
year. According to early estimates, to
day's local receipts were equal to the
combined receipts of any two of the other
markets. While the number of offerings
was unusually large for today, the supply
of either really prime killers or good
feeding stock was comparatively small
The fact that the packers were already
pretty well supplied for the week was
apparently a bearish influence on the
trade this morning. Everything was
very quiet in the barn early in the fore
noon, buyers being in no hurry to fill
their orders.
Notwithstanding a large supply of sheep
and lambs on hand for the end ot the
week, the bulk of everything was dis
posed of at prices about steady with yes
terday. The killing end of the receipts
was pretty well cleaned up by mid-day.
A very small volume of feeder trade took
place early In the day, but prices were
very little If any different from yesterday.
