News from Southwest Says Wheat is
Deteriorating.

. OMAHA. Feb. 20. 19U.
As predicted for some tlmo any change
in the southwestern wheat promlso will bo
tor the worse, and tho first messages
from that section making claims of de
terioration were received hero yosterday.
These camo from northern Texas, western
Oklahoma and parts of Kansas and Ne
braska and tho messages wcro received
at a tlmo when wheat was at tho low
est of tho session near tho close. Some
of those who sold early changed front
and wilt be seen on the buying side,
TPhlch caused reactions of UJTtto and
while the May was tho smallest fraction
lower, tho July was a little higher. Had
the deterioration reports been received
earlier In tho day and tho trade generally
cognizant of tho contents of messages a
different story would doubtless havo been
related here. Generally speaking tho crop
outlook In tho winter wheat belt. Is tho
beet ever known and for this reason
there will bo a chango and any change
will be a help to tho bulls. Crop damage
and war are two things that will frighten
tho average speculator oat of his wits
in caso ho is short on tho market.
The cash situation Is anything but en
couraging to hbldcrs of that grain. Sales
yesterday wcro 65.000 bushels and moro
than one-half of this was taken by ex
porters at tho seaboard. Omaha had nn
excellent demand for wheat from Chi
cago, as well as from northwestern and
Interior millers, and this market claimed
tp havo received numerous Inquiries for
export. One message said that Winnipeg
was a seller of wheat for foreign ship
ment, but others said tho best bids wore
IHo out of line.
' Cash wheat was unchanged to Uo
higher.
Corn doted about Mc lower for May
and 4o lower for July, while September
was about unchanged. Thero was a lack
of. cash demand, with .lies of only 85,000
bushels and this caused uonsldcrabI6 sell
ing, coupled with tho fact that Argontlno
corn parcels wero offered c, 1. f. Atlantic
ports at 68J4o first half of March ship
ment. .Cosh corn was unchanged to o lower.
Oats closed without much change, with
tho May strong. This market followed
tho course of corn. Country offerings
were moderate and tho cash business was
email.
Cash oats wero unchanged.
Liquidation of hog products was popu
lar yestcraay ana prices closed lower.
The hog report of Germany, which
showed an increase of 4,000,000 hogs over
a year1 ago, and tho weakness In tho
market at the yards wcro the leading
bear factors. The buying was led by
commission houses, although some of tho
early sellers bought late In tho day.
Tho Chicago and Omaha markets will
be closed Monday, February 23, to ob
serve Washington's birthday.

CHICAGO. Feb. 20.-RevIval of export
ui-muiiu imu a Birengincning intiuencn
today on wheat. Excent for nn npnnxlnnnl
slight lapse, tho market was higher
throughout tho day and closed steady
wiiu u net Kain oi a snaao. vjorn nn
lshed HQ'Jic to c up and oats at an ad
vance of HSWo to Mc, but provisions off
2Q5c to 7fto.
Bullish cables mado holders of wheat
confident from the nlltnpt that 1tn.tn
buying would be In order. Tho belief
was soon justniea by announcement that
some business for Europe was being done
in tho southwest from Interior points by
way of tho gulf. Later, the fact de
veloped that liberal sales hid been
brought about hero to exporters for shlp
irent from the Atlantic seaboard.
Domestic weather and crop conditions
almost without blemish formed the chief
obstacle to a moro decided upturn In the
wheat market. The contrast Jn this
resppct vvh other countries was qulto
usual, Russia and France reporting
-winter Killing, inula rains wnicn spoiled
tho harvest, nnd Australia forebodings of
trouble from drouth.
Corn developed Independent firmness
on account nf better shlnnlnc demnnd.
rlthough tho Improvement was only
slight. There was ono instance, however,
In tvhlch the buyer asked to hnvo ship
ments nero to tno scantiness or the east
ern supply and to tho continued absence
of any genorous arrivals from Argentina.
Thero Is evidence of a -good call for oats.
Tho nrlnclnal buyers wero clovator com
panies .thought to be removing hedges
on consignments for the cast..
Packers unloaded .provisions. Resulting
weakness, however, was to some extent
onset by mo ouige in corn.

CATTLE Recolnta wcro very Unlit this
morning as usual on a Friday. At the
same time there wns a reasonably good
demand and practically everything In
sight changed hands at an early hour.
The prices paid did. not show any great
chungo as compared with yesterday, most
operators quoting It as a good, steady
and. In' some cases, vosslbly stronger.
There were no cattls ot very good quality
in ins yarns, uut tnero were a tew uceves
gooa cnougn to bring js.30.
The market has now Practically re
covered all tho loss sustained early In
tho week and .prices on good kinds of
oeeves aro steady with lost wcex h ciosc.
Medium kinds of cattlo may not In all
cases be nulto back to where they were a
week ago, but the difference, It any, Is
not great. - Cows and heifers are fully
steady with a week ago, On tho othor
hand, stockers and feeders havo been
easing off and tlioy are 10345a lower than
last week, and soirio of the less dcstrablu
stockers might be even a quarter lower.

With another llboral run In sight, and
discouraging advices from other mar
kets, the local trade was Just a con
tinuation of yesterduy's weak close, Esirly
bids wore a big dime lower than yester
day's general market, and, as salesmen
were pricing their holdings on a steady

slow and dull. As tho morning advanced
values failed to show much Improvement,
and after holding on for nearly three
hours sellers began to cut looso at Prices
that wero largely 10c lowor than Thurs
day's average. Even after the ball started
rolling the trado was very dull, but tho

HIIEMIV-Knr n. Friday the rocclpts wero
large, as some 8,700 head wero repored
in, compared with 7,416 a wek ago and
(1.21.1 u-ii wi fiks sen nnd ti.OtiS a year nno.
Tho receipts nil tho week havo been fairly
liberal, making a total 01 aooui bi.sh
head, as against 64,916 last wrok and 45,955
during tho corresponding tlmo Inst year.
In splto of tho heavy receipts on tho
previous days of tho week, tho packers
went out tins morning nna uougut up
another liberal run of ewes nnd lambs at
Prices generally steady with yesterday.
Trado was not strong on that basis, how
over, which was an Indication that plenty
of killers were on hand to satisfy tho
present demand. .Most everything soiu
practically In tho snmo notches, fed west
ern lambs ranging from J7,36lt7.06, and
tho bulk of the owes from J5.23 to J6.60.
Tho medium grades ot lambs moved
largely around J7.OOir7.85 and wcro only
fairly nctlvo nt that. On the whole trade
wns active, which enabled tho sellers to
make a fair clearanco In good season.
With tho exception of Thursday's mar
ket, trade on both sheep and lambs has
been practically steady all tho week In
face of the fact that receipts havo been
rather heavy. Yesterday's prlco Improve
incut Is tho advanco for the week, which
means that trado Is closing strong to lWf
15o higher on most all kinds of killers, ns
compared with tho close of last week.
Trado Is still very uncertain, being ex
tremely sensltlvo to tho alio of tho re
ceipts, and traders Inclined to think that
a heavy run next week would couso
values to take another drop as they did
two weeks bko,
