GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Complete Change for Better Over
takes Wheat Market.
BEARS ARE HARD TO KILL OFF
Come night to the Front ' In the
Knee ot tho I'lt Activity Tlth
Contrndlctlnic News from
Arkentlnn.
. OMAHA, Feb. IS, 1914.
There was almost, a .complete change
In conditions surrounding tho wheat mar
ket yesterday for the better. Not only
was the market strong and HHo higher,
But there was an Improved business and
thla Included somo buying on outside ac
count. This chango was brought about
by general buying ot cash wheat In the
various markets by seaboard exporters.
The amount of these purchases was not
heavy, but they were scattered from one
end of the country to tho other. Including
Canada. Philadelphia ana Baltimore both
reported sales ot wheat on "distressed"
freight room. New York said that sales
were mado there for foreign shipment ot
200.000 bu. but Boston, in Its usual fashion.
claimed bids wero out ot line. Kansas
City reported moderate sited lots of
wheat sold for eastern shipment and
Winnipeg claimed that a cargo was sola
there direct.
Chicago probably sold more wheat than
nil tho other markets combined. Tho
transactions there were reported as 200,000
bu., but they woro said to have been
larger.
The bears In wheat were hard to kill
off yesterday, as they came to the front
with news that was exactly opposite to
tho above. As an Illustration a Minneap
olis house wired that the milling demand
there was slow, as considerable wheat
ha been nurchasd bv that interest to
arrive and that this grain would havo to
be digested beforo millers' would again
enter tho market as buyers. Flour In all
positions was reported as dull.
it is almost a aany occurrenco for somo
of the houses In the trade to furnish
figures on the exportable surplus of
wheat In the Argontlno Republic Broom-
nau claimed a lew uays ago mat ship
pers of both Europe and the continent
who wero nt Buenos Ayers placed the
surplus at 36.000.000 bushels. Theso fig
ures were raised to 66.000.000 bushels yes
terday. Cash wheat was unchanged.
Corn was helped no little by the
strength In wheat yesterday and tho of
ferings were smalt even at the advanco
of H!fc for the day. Unsettled weather
Is promised, which may restrict the movd
ment of that grain to points ot distribu
tion, nnd whllo the weather In the Ar
gentine was reported as favorablo there
woro Claims or further deterioration to
the crop and a reduction In the export
able surplus. Stocks at Liverpool con
tinue to decrease and that markot was
firmer. Cash corn was UWo higher.
Gains of 4Ho wero made In oats nnd
that market was strong. Cash oats woro
unchanged to Uo higher.
Tho big longs in May lard and ribs
were tho best sellers yesterday. They
Were obliged to accent slightly lower
prices. Conditions have been against
theso holders, and with tho semi-monthly
report .It .was anything but encouraging.
They attempted to get rid of at' least a
part of tho lines they havo been carrying.

down, oats off UVic to Vic, and pro

to a decline of 26c
Discouragement for' the wheat bulla

unresponsive to yesterday's advance cn

Islng sales by holders.
Somo liveliness on tho bull side in the
wheat pit resulted at one tlmo owing to
a sharp advance of prices on Lal'lata
cargoes at Antwerp. Tho effect, how
ever, was more than offset afterward by
rumors that one of tho largest grain
companies here was selling wheat
against purchases ot corn. The company
referred to had previously advocated
buying wheat and selling corn.
Beginning of the corn harvest In Ar
gentina, Implying shipments of tho new
crop soon from that country had a boor
ish lnfluenco on tho price ot the cereal
here. Bo also did news ot cheap offers
of Danubtan corn to bo delivered at Now
York. Assertions of arrivals hero bolng
likely to diminish on account of rains
clogging country roads had only a tem
porary effect and thero was no laating
result -cither from the fact that shipping
demand had somewhat Improved. Cover
ing by shorts gave oats nt first an up
pcaranco ot Independent strength. In
tho end, however, tho market suffered a
setback with othor groin.
Buyers backed owny from provisions
because of tho weakness of cereals. Con
fidence of holders was somewhat unset
tled, too, by tho increaso shown In hog
packing since November 1, as compared
with a year ago.

NEW YORK, Fob. 18.-Tbe stock mar
ket was upset today by conflicting re
ports concerning tho probable disposition
of the freight rate cokivi. Thn movomnnl
of prices hinged almost entirely on thoo
J reports, which, nn they gained ctrcula-
tlon In Wall street, woro so contradictor)'
I that before tho day was done speculators
Wero badlv confusml. Thn ulnrv nf tlin
day Illustrated tho part which surmlso
and conjecture sometimes ploy in tho
affairs of thn utisek mnt-w-r
Uncertainty ns to Mho disposition by
. the Interstate Commcrco Commission of
J tho eastern railroads' application for a
v tUMV IIIVIVMCU 111 tlULJIIlk lUkrB IUIB
exerted a repressive influence on tho
market for so long that speculators wore
tircaiiy relieved When nows tamo from
Washington that President Wilson fa-
vored a speedy decision. Tho street, how
ever, uiu not stop at tnat, but jumped to
the conclusion that tho nresldnnt favored
an increase In rates. A Wall street nows
agoncy published tho Rtntement that In
formation from "a source close to thn In
teratata Commcrco commission" Indicated
that "a favorablo decision" would bo
rendered ot an early dnte.
On the strength ot theso assumptions
the market, which had boon dull nnd Ir
regular earner in tho day, advanced
strongly. 1110 rauroau stocks led the
iinturn, but were followed readily by tho
Industrials nnd most of thn reurcsenta-
tivo shares mado gains ot n point or
more.
Half an hour beforo tho closo tho street
learncu tnat it nad assumed too much.
Chairman Clark ot tho Interstate Com
merce commission was quoted in a
Washington dlHpatch as saying that
President Wilson had expressed no
opinion regarding tho merits of tho freight
raio caso. .Trailers who had bought stocks
on the theory that tho matter was as
goon as settled, hastily throw over their
holdings nnd tho market slumped swiftly.
Much of tho day'e gain was lost, although
tho market closed wtlh a general Bhow
Inf ot fair advances.
The weekly steel trado rovlow reported
o further Increaso in now order. Pressed
Steel Car was strengthened by Us annual
report showing a gain ot $1,404,000 In
net. Otherwlso thero wns llttlo to In

from tho freight rates cose. London did

CATTL13-Under the Influence of largo
receipts on Monday and Tuesday the
market broke sharply, closing very bad
Tuesday afternoon. A good many of tho
common to pretty decent cattle sold at
that tlmo as much as 26o lower than lost
week. This morning, with receipts num
bering only 140 cars, there wm a hotter
feellnir nrevalent In tho trado. Perhaps
prices were not much higher, but they
wero tuny steady with me oost timo yca
terday, and In somo cases salesmen were
culling It n llttlo hlghor on both steors
nnd cows. There was a llttlo more ac-
lltrllw In 4...1. n nnn Hill rn 111
proportion ot tho offerings changed hands
In very fair season In the morning.
As soon as buyors began to Hot tilled
up, trado bocamo rather slow, and for a
tlmo It looked as though the closo would
bo n. little easier. Soma lato shipping or
ders, however, served to hold up prices
on tho mora' desirable butcher stock, but
mixed and light stuff was rathor
neglected, and In most cases late sales of
this sort ot hogs showed practically nil
the caTly advance to b lost. Trade was
fairly lively at one time during the early
trade, and In spite of tho dull closo a
clearance was made by midday.
stockers and leaders aid not snow mucn
change as compared with yesterday, but
It might bo well for the country to un
derstand that stockers are around 25o
lower than last week.

llOOS Another liberal supply showed
up this morning, about 208 cars or 14,600
head being received. For the week to
date supplies foot up 84,156 head, being:
about 3,000 smaller than last .week, and
4,500 head short of tho same days last
year.
Trade opened today much the same as
on Tuesday, packers' early bids belnc
Just about steady. Shippers bought u
fow early that wero around a nickel
higher, but packers showed k Rood deal
ot reluctance nbout following this lead,
and they picked up a fow during tho
first rounds that wero no more than
steady to stronft. Molt of tho sellers,
however, were holding their offerings
for a nickel advance, arid boforo buyers
could get very far towards filling their
orders they had to moct tho sellers' de
mands, so that when the bulk ot tho
hogs sold most ot the sales were around
a nickel higher.
The big end of the supply sold at a
range of $8,3008.65, and tops moved up
to $i.C0, tho highest mark reached so far
this week. Today's top also equals tho
year's high mark, paid on Tuesday of
last week.
