i OMAHA, March t, 1913.
The rush which was made by scattered
longs In wheat to throw their holdings
overboard was the leading bear factor In
that market, yesterday. Many of the
holder .have; suffered severe losses on
he present .price recession and the pit
was hock.f ail of selling orders of "stop
losses", description when the market was
opened, and these orders continued In
evidence during th. entire session. It
Is not' expected, even by the most
ardent bears, that declines are to con
tlnue'lndeflnltely. In looking over tho
Influence spread out before" the specu
lative world In wheat yesterday one
would be unabjo to unearth anything
whatsoever that could be designated as .
help to, the holder. The. seaboard re
ported sale of a small shipment abroad
and Omaha., which was lo lower, sold
twelve loids bf No. a hard wheat for ex
port via the gulf. The sales In Chicago
of' cash wheat amounted to only 40,000
bushels",. ' J '
When- the big stocks at the loading
markets nt the northwest as well as the
heavy, .supplies on forms of tho United
Stales 'are considered, coupled with tho
big visible supply ami the larger ship
ments from exporting countries, the cash
'transactions In all positions were hardly
.worth mentioning. Xn addition to a flat
csBh wheat and flour market at Minne
apolis, coupled with receipts there yes
terday of more than double a year ago,
were the reports from the spring wheat
.country predicting largely increased re
celpts at all terminal points, as farmers
are desirous of escaping the tar on the
grain noiv held In their hands. One road
alone centering at Minneapolis was ask
ing ,fr 4,000 cars to be used this month
In which to load wheat. An authority at
Minneapolis says there are 14,000,000 bush
els of durum wheat held there and which
will be delivered on contracts In May.
Cash wheat was ic higher, .
Theffbetfrs In corn seem to feel that
thelrtposltlon Is the correct one. While
they Vere. willing to put out short lines
on all", hard spots yeeteraay, they re
fused to follow the declines'' as sellers.
There was a great deal of bear talk in
dulged In around) the corn pit yester
day, while there- waa 'little of conse
quence that could be credited to the
bulls. It is generally believed that the
holders of May corn at. Chicago are on
on enormous scale and . that the men
who own that optloti" kftow all the ins
and outs of speculation, and that they
are likely to give tho bears all the rope
they care to absorb In .the short lines
In. the expectation of covering their con
tracts at profits.
Cnnh corn was Uo lilghtr.
There Is a good sized long interest
in May , cats, and in case there .is a
pricelrecesslon In corn; the holders of
oats would be obliged to liquidate, pos
sibly at losses,
Cash oats was unchanged to Uc lower.
Clearances" were wheat and flour equal
to .24.000 bushels, corn 257,000 bushels and
oats 1,000 bushels.
Liverpool plosed with, wheat HUd
higher and corn unchanged to Hd higher.
Primary wheat receipts were 659,000
bushels and shipments of 411,000 bushels
.against receipts, of 315.000 bushels and
'shipments of 221,000 bushels last .year.
Primary,- corn' receipts were 882,000
bushels and shipments of 800,000 bushel
against rccetpts of 933,000 bushels and
shipments pC 603,000 bushels last year.
Primary oat receipts were 606,000 bush

aggressive buying at times today of the

Lritio trailers nuemptea to onng anoui
further declines In the early session.' but
were unable to make headway. Price
fluctuated for a ' time and then moved
dnDnltely Upward. There was a scarcity
of stocks around the early range. Bnd
It was necessary to raise bids In all
quarters of the list, the standard Issue
being marked uii 1 to 2 points. Profit
taking In spots during the afternoon cut
Into the earlier gains.
Some of the specialties moved irregu
larly. This was particularly true of the
tobacco stocks. Pump Issues were weak.
There were no developments upon
which Uio day's movements could be
bttRed, speculative conditions remaining
unchanged. Although Ixjndon cables
were more cheerful, there was no
foreign demand for American stock.
Money rates were easier nnd exchange
rates showed a firmer tendency.
Copper stocks were benefitted by re
ports of active European demand. It
was said that sales of substantial
amounts were made nt.15 cents for elec
trolytic. Domestic consumers, however,
showed no disposition to enter the mar
ket freely. The February report of the
copper producers, to bo published this
week Is expected to show no marked
changes.
The bond market was Irregular., Total
sales per value, $1,850,000. United States
bonds wero unchanged, on call.

HOGS Both packers nnd speculators
started out tilts morning buying hogs on
u 6frl0c higher basis. While the trade
was not Bpeclally active at any time,
even at this advance, over half of the
supply had been disponed of before 10
o'clock. By this time, however, there
wan a etikfr feeling In the trade and
bids wero not nutte so strong as they
were earlier In the day,- From this tlmo
on. tho movement was .very slow, nnd
In some cases buyers 'even refused lo
make bld A Utile later on buyers Snndn
an effort to clean up wljat hogs were
still unsold, but the prices they offered
wero not lo 'good as those paid during
the early rounds, and the trade clostd
with most' of the' advance lot.
Rccetpts wero nioderato again today,
about 163 cant, or 10.700 head. belnK re-
Ported In. This Is about 6,000 head smaller'
man notn one. ana two weeKs ago, ami
over 11,000 short of the supply on tho
corresponding day a' year ago.
nl tho end, however, practically all the
hogs wero cleaned up and some sales
made on the extreme closo looked very
nearly as good as the figures paid early.
Tho Ionic end of the sales land ml at $8.30,
with the bulk nl $8.30e8.3R, this latter fig
ir being the 'highest paid. The quality
of the offerings was better than anything
that has been here thin week, and th
poorer grades of stuff were decidedly In
tho minority, a fact which materially
bcosted the day's average.

Hliwitfl' For Wednesday tnc snccp re
ceipts were light, some fifteen earn or
2,500 head being reported In this morn
ing. The supply was less than one
fourth of what showed tip a week ngo.
and only about one-half of what was
here on the same day a year ago. This
mukes 2,100 head for three days, or
nearly 19,372 head less than arrived the
first half of last week nnd 6,76 head
less than for tho corresponding days a
year ago.
Light receipts and an active trade at
a substantial advance In price featured
tho market. The packer were good
competitors for the limited number of
offerings and lost no tlmo In getting
down ot business. White the dumanu
does not seem any broader than on the
last row days tne uuyers nati a goon
outlet for what was on salo at prices
anywhere from strong to loyitSc higher
on notn sneep anu lamus. fincticauy
everything wan sold by 10 o'clook and
with a good demand It was natural for
offerings to move freely.
Among the early sales were some fell
western latubs weighing around 86 pounds
thath were good anoimli to brlnir $8,70. As
much as $6.35 was reached by fed western
ewes and some wethers wore weighed up
at $(160. It might bo added thnt there
was little, If any, discrimination against
the heavier offerings as compared with
Monday or the closing days of last week.

TO ASK CURRENCY REFORM

PRESENT SYSTEM NOT ADEQUATE
In Tlinrs of Hiislnen tlpircaalon It

the Pltietnntinnn thnt
Ilnaiip,
Tho Omaha Ileal Estate exchange will
8fnd( communications to Washington ask
ing "that currency reform be taken up
among the first problems' tn' be hanll"d
by the extra session of totigress. Thl.i
action was taken at the weekly meeti.ig
following an address on currency reform
by J. Ue FWs JUchards, ..cashier of ha
Omaha National bank, Richards Is a
member' of tho National Cltltena' league,
which was 'organized at Chicago about
two years ago for the promotion of a new
system of more elastic currency, lit whs
accompanied to the exchange meeting .)y
J II. Haynes, secretary of the organiza
tion. Richards' declared our present banking
troubles which 'bring nbout periodic p.m
lc4 nnd Imslilt-Hs depressions are in the
reserve and currency system which now
Is a system of separate Individual bui.K
Ing reserves and rigid currency Issue.
Thene fundamental elements he said i re
managed so tinsolojitlclfnlly that in times
of stress they cannot hn used adequately
to support credit, and when stress comes
tliii whole rubric of credit btcaks down
under tho strain and banks whose pur
poso It Is to grant credit nt such tlmo
arc compelled to contract credits.
Richards said the problem Is not ex
clusively a bunkers' problem. "Who loeej
inait," he asked, "when banks nro plai.'d
In a position where they ennnot grant
credit to deserving borrowers, but are
compelled to cnll existing loans and forcn
their cpstamers to meet them nt great
sacrifice, when values on evry hand ani
shrinking nnd avenues of liquidation are
shut off by feors of the future? It is
the business man who sustains the heavy
loss."'
S. Arlon Lewis was another speaker
before tho exchange, explaining hl.4 Dili
to allow counties to Issue bonds to b
Used a loans on unimproved farm land.
The exchange endorsed the essential fea
Hires of the bill.
