SBMyeSc; December, 55ic; Oats that Were Sold Last Week to Come la from the Country Are Making- Their Appear ance on Market. OMAHA, Oct 25, 1912. Each of the four Balkan states at war with Turkey won more or less decslve victories yesterday. This is mentioned to empnasise the tact that financial ana trade circ.es abroad were not disturbed In the least bv the nrorress of the war. This means that It will take a threat ened spread of political troubles to some of the powers of Europe to again start a soar over grain supplies or oreadstutfs tor tne importing countries. For tne present this leaves the trade on this side of the ocean to depend largely on do niestio conditions, which are regarded a bearish. The transferrin! of a lot of wheat from Duluth to Ch.cago can have no important bearing on the price. There Is an over-abundance In the northwest which can easily make good the shortage caused by crop failure In the soft winter wheat states. Traders think It well not to press the selling side too hard on breaks, while there is a chance of a fresh scare over political affairs abroad. Cash wheat unchanged to He higher. If there Is a continuation of fine weather over the corn belt, it is reason able to expect free country offerings from the new crop, liberal shipping offers at country points and a normal enlarge ment in the movement of corn to this market. . These conditions are moderately bearish. A long period of bad weather would upset all such calculations. Only a narrow market is expected for the present. Corn prices will follow any decided turn In wheat Some say on the dips it will do to lean to the buying side or ueoember corn untn there is cer tainty of liberal marketing, and on the sutngth of the big crop figures the selling side of the May option seems ad visable. Cash corn was unchanged. Oats that were sold last week to come in from the country are making their ap pearance. Most of them have been sold to go out and stocks are not expected to accumulate, it is not expected by con servative operators that the foreigners will take hold of the oata market freely every day, so they must have time to digest their arge purchases of late. Cash oata unchanged to Ho higher. Clearances were wheat and flour equal to 725,000 bushels, corn, 7,000 bushels and oats, 14,000 bushels. Liverpool closed with wheat hk&'Ai lower and corn higher. Primary wheat receipts were 1,645,000 bushels and shipments 1,318,000 buBhels, against receipts of 1,149,000 bushels and shipments of 499,000 bushels last year. Primary corn receipts were 344.000 bush els and shipments 181,000 bushels, against receipts of 478,000 bushels and shipments Of 197,000 bushels last year.

A flnrrv In th local money market resulting mainly from the steady loss of cash to the In terior during the week was the nrhnarv cause of another weak stock market to- aay. fail loans rose U 6V4 per cent, with n sppreciaeie hardening of time rates. Forecasts issued todaj' show a decline on home Itistltotlons of about $10,tW.00O, which ia slightly in excess of last week's cash reserve. Vnluss this condition is in some way rectified tomorrow's bank statement probably will disclose a deficit Home conditions were in no wise af feoted by conditions where most markets continued to reflect a degree of uneasi ness. Discounts were firmer in London and the settlement In mining securities mere attracted more than usual atten tion because of the greater carrying charges. Our Issues were lower In Lon don, the declining tendency being fol lowed up with further sales here. There was a suspicion, however, that no in considerable part of London's selling really was for Now York account Paris and Berlin were steady, the German source deriving some encouragement from the statement Issued by the Imperial Bank of Germany. That Institution gained more than $6,000,000 gold and $10, 000,000 cash, meanwhile reducing its loans by some $4,000,000. Selling here was at Its height shortly before noon, whon leading stocks aver aged declines well over a point. Liquida tion was orderly, but persistent. In the late afternoon, regardless of another ad vance in money to the day's highest quo tation, the greater part of the early loss was regained, especially in the standard railway shares. Trading was light on the recovery. Bank clearings, as complied by the commercial agencies, show very large gains over the preceding two years, being greater by 28 per cent than at this ttms last year. The Atchison road for Septem ber made a net gain of $626,000. Bonds were under pressure. Total sales, par value, amounted to $1,650,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

For the week the reoelpts foot, up 82,711 hd, a falling off of over 7,000 head as compared with last week and the week before. There were not enough beef steers on sale this morning to make a market. What few there were here sold In about yesterday's notches or around , l&4j)2uc higher than a week ago. There wis quite a little sprinkling of cows and heifers, the offerings being confined largely to odds and ends, that Is, one or two head In a place. As usual on a Friday, the trade was slow and of an indifferent character while prices showed little or no change. For thi week cow stuff is steady to a little higher than last week. eltockersv and feeders were limited, largely tostdds and ends. The demand, however, was not so brisk as yard trad ers also had a good many cattle on hand carried over from yesterday and day before. The feeling on feeders was. If anything, a little weak. It was ex pected that there would be quite a good many country buyers In today, but the attendance was rather disappointing and prospects at present writing are that some of the cattle In tha hands of spec ulators will have to be carried over into next week. Prices are generally lOOlte lower than last week, with some kinds as much as 26o tower.
