THE HER: OMAHA, WEDN BSD AY, FEBRUARY 19, 19JH. 11 GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Moisture Conditions Make Short Wheat Sales Unsafe. ARMOUR SURPRISES DEALERS lilruuii Pni'Urr Sells Mfiy Corn Whm ihr Market Wish Wcnk eat nml I.ntrr Ilrdnnl lr Hiijlnif .Inly Option. . , OMAHA, Feb. 1?. 1913. . . J' nt ninde b" wheat traders last nislit was that prices rally too easily nrter the breaks to make short sales safe uxcept on sharp bulges. One of the big ,n"rr! who haB been bearish for months, salil last night that he lutd 'been on tho . . .?.lde r l,lc market for several days lot liking tho action of the market and Uelievlng that most of the pressure has come from tho bears. He also made tho point that the moisture conditions. In the southwest are not such to make short "ales safe until there' are good general rains Hears took tho position that the trade was too light for bulls to carry the mnrket up very far, and believe that the largest holders will take advantage of all bulges to sell. According to a statement made yesterday by Todd W. lewls, the Minneapolis grain man, the Washburn-Crosby and Plllsbury concern! each have 1,000,000 barrels of flour sold and the Consolidated Milling company 600,000 barrels hold for which they ore un able to secure shipping directions, In order to send the flour to points of dis tribution. This fact may be called the greatest bear factor In the market of the country. Thoi-e who have bought goodly amounts of flour for future delivery believe tho winter plant la certain to pull through and show good results and for this rea son they are not furnishing shipping directions and many of them will refuse to take flour. In case prices continue to decline. From day to day large sales of exporters aic heard of, but tho transac tions at Chicago yesterday amounted to only 40,000 bushels. Canadian exporters have made a great .deal of noise about tho big buslnoss that has been done at Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto from day to day and one concern alone said that total transactions In those markets were fully 230,000 bushels. This was doubted by those In the trade who are well posted. Cash wheat was unchanged. Corn traders were nurprlsed at the ac tion of the Armour house In selling May corn when the market was weakest and later hedging by buying the July option, nulls said last night that corn, now being on an export basis, it will not be easy to maintain declines below R2c for May. One cash handler said they had already sold so much corn that they did not care to sell more until they got fairly cleaned up. Cash corn Uc higher to Mo lower. A few oats traders who were bullish nre talking lighter receipts for some time and say that the country purchases have fallen off materially elnce prices declined. Cash oats unchanged. Clearances of com wero 153,000 bushels, and wheat and flour equal to 64G.0OO bush els. The close at Liverpool on wheat was unchanged to He higher, and on corn unchanged to Ho lower. Primary wheat receipts were 821.000 bushels and shipments 620,000 bushels against receipts last year of fio",000 bush els and shipments pf 301,000 bushels. Primary . corn receipt were 1,528,000 bushels and shipments 1,015,000 bushels against receipts last year of 1.077.000 bushels and shipments of 738,000 bushels.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Attempts today to get up a Hessian fly Bcare In tho wheat market here fell flat. Closing prices wore weak, c to 9io under last night. Corn finished Httc to c down and outs vary ing from 4c off to a shade advance. The outcome In provisions was unchanged to 7Hc higheT. Prospect of a turn to rain or snow In tho west liad much to do with counteract ing the efforts of the wheat bulls. In ad dition, a leading crop expert declared thut talk of tho multiplication of the Hessian fly at this time of the year, with tempera tures as they have been in Nebraska, was nonsense. Accordingly, a slight advance wlilch had beou based partly on fears re garding tho winter crop and partly on tho strength of foreign markets was more than wiped out Interest in war rumors waned when it was brought to light that compared wltli a month ago Chicago prices for wheat were relatively 2V4o cheaper than Liver pool, and yet there had been no rcifent ex port buying here of any consequence. Total clearances today of wheat and flour nt tho sealmard wero equal to 546,000 bu. Primary receipts were 821,000 bu., against 057,000 bu. a yoar ago. Falling off Jn. eastern demand pulled down com. The deferring of labor trou bles waB hld responsible. OatH wore sus tained by purchasing on the part of eleva tors and by shorts consequently being forced to covor. Shortage of hogs at western centers made a rising market for provisions. The volume of trade, nevertheless, was above the average.

IS. -Tho sharp de- ' . ... i,.. i enne in siicks yosieruay was iohowou m the natural course of events In the mar ket by a temporary upturn today, owing ohtefly to covering of short contracts. Even the news that threatened strike of railway firemen had been averted pro duced no great effect, and after moderate, gains hnd been established nmong the standard stocks tho market slid off slowly. In tho last hour uctlvo selling was resumed and stocks declined sharply. Tho cotirso of prices was disappointing to traders who had looked on tho dlsputo between the railways and their firemen j a largo factor In tho market. There has been such a long series of unfavor able oMiirronces that Interjection of a bullish factor was a novel sensation. The failure of the market to make a greater response was attributed to the remaining uncertainties of the general situation. Tho rather violent selling movement of the last hour was linked with disquieting rumors concerning J. P. Morgan's state of health. The departure for Europe to day of Mr. Morgan's son-in-law served as a basis for these rumors. During tho nfternoon decllno tho Hill stocks wore sold heavily as were Reading and Southern Pacific, tho latter touching a new low price for tho movement of 101V,.

In the fuce of a somewhat generous supply buyers' opening hlds wore fully SO 10c hlRher. Seeing tho upward trend of things salesmen held on for still better money, and. while this made the opening rounds rather slow, they finally ttot nearly all they asked for, the hulk of tho supply moving at figures that were u big 10c higher, and In souio oases even mur,. than that, some good quality light and butcher weight stuff being as much u 15c higher. Quality was rather uneven, theie being soma leal good hogs hi. Voll as a percentiigo of common stuff on sale. Aside from tho slowness during the early trade, tho movement was active until the close, when values caned Oif a llttln and buyers wore lather lmllf fcent low aril a tralnloud that was u llttlu latu In arriving. In the end, however, a clear ance was made at a reasonably call) hoiil. Tho bulk of the hogs sold at $8. lot 8. 15, while a range of JS.OoiftS.ZO tultca in put tlielly everything. Some good quality light and butcher weights sold as high us J8.25, 15a above yesterday's top. It might be mentioned that both Puckers and shippers wero free buyers of must any kind of stock, nnd as the petccntagc of big heavies was very small, there was very little discrimination ngalnst any particular grnue.

It will bo remembered that the opening trade on Monday was steady to a little easier, but owing to the bad break In lambs at Chicago and nt most other outside points closing trade took a clmtige for the worse and buyers wcte obliged to let- go the rest of their offerings at a HHMto decline Soma very good IhiivIis on the Mexican order nnd of light-weight brought as much us JS 00. and a bunch of fed westerns thnt wero a little heavy "16 suit tho packers sold at JM'l. The hulk of Wl the lambs changed hands largely around JS.40g8.60. Aged sheep murto vp tho' small end of the receipts consequently . jvcro In light supply. As thero werw les's rheep than lambs offered the luiyors wanted tho sheep first this morning.' ntul as a result trade In owes, wethers and yrarllngs was active nt prices fully steady with yester day. Fed western owes, prime, and ot handy-weight, sold as high ns $5.90, and some on tho heavy order brought JS.80. The majority of tho owe offerings wont to tho scales at n rling of J5.7uJfG.90. Among tho few wethrs on sale some heavy ones sold nt J.VS0. Around sixty-one cars or 14,000 head were reported In While the receipts wero slightly less than a week ngo they fell about 3.030 head short of two weeks ago and nround 4.I95 head short of the anmo day one year ngo. Tho quality of tho offerings was ns good ns on the first, day of tho week and considerably hotter than tho closing days of last week. Quotations on sheep and lambs: lamb.i good to choice.
