GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Foi.'M'gncrs Ready to Heft Views of No. 2 Wheat Holders. DOES NOT CAUSE ANY STIR Xeirej that Armonr Ontflt Is on the Hull Side of ihr Market Has hat Little Iirfrct on Prices. OMAHA. Feb. 3T. 1911. The fact was again demonstrated yes terday thai foreigners want our No. 3 hold winter .wheat, and hat they arc Witling to meet the vluws ot holders In order to secure It. From day to day there art reported sales of hard winter wheat to go abroad, but tho amount Is never correctly given out by cither the buyer or the seller. The transactions here yesterday amounted to 90.WW bush els, of which 60,000 bushels were, mixed lots and 40,00k bushels No. 2 hard win ter, either for export or to exporters. Winnipeg reported forty loads of Man itoba as taken to go abroadt. Wheat was, strung and fractionally bet ter In this market, mainly In sympathy with tho strength shown abroad, coupled with soma bullish reports received from the spring wheat country. The latest es timate on tho northwestern country ele vator stocks Is 15.000,000 bushels, com pared with 25,000,000 bushels at this time last month. Further large reductions are locked for In these stocks for March be cause of heavy sales of wheat made to arrive at terminal markets. The millers in the spring wheat country are said to bo growing uneasy because ot small sup plies available tor their purposes, and one ot tho larger cash handlers at Min neapolis says that tho manufacturers of flour, not only at Minneapolis, but at Interior points of the northwest, will be obliged to secure their additional wheat from Nebraska and other points, as it will not; be available in the northwest until laio next spring. Cash "wheat was Vic lower. Tho published fact that tho Armour Orain company, personally or on account oi its customers, were to De louna on the bull side ot the corn market failed to cause much ot a stir In that pit yes teniay. The May future was a small fraction lower, while tho deferred moutha wero HOVic higher. Leading intero-its wuro In the market as buyers early and tUo absorption of Increased offerings toll U the hands ot big men In, the trade, but later thero wero losses along the entire line. Cash corn was unchanged to he higher. Provisions were quiet yesterday and pork and ribs wero a ah&da lower, while iard was a trifle better. There was some good buying by stock yards interests, and Uils demand was met by profit-taking longs. Packers were inclined to ailov tho market to take care of itself. A largor movement ot hogs Is expected fjr the next week. Cash oats were Uc lower. Clearances; Wheat and flour, 307,000 bushels; corn, 1,000 bushels; oats, none.

Chicago grain ato provisions Fcntures of the Trading: nnd Closing Prices on Board, of Trnde. CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-Australllan nnd Russian competition led to a downturn today In the price of wheat. The market closed steady, but at Vlcto 4c net decline. Corn finished the same an last night to a sixteentn nigner, oats orr a shado to He and provisions down 7W(M0o to 1214 15c. Foreigners appeared to have made an utmost unonlmous switch at least for the time, being, in regard to their source of wheat supply. Of late, It has taken stiff bids to obtain shipments from Australia or from Russa. Both countries today. however, were reported as having put for ward larger ana cheaper oners, in con sequence, ocean freight room was said to have been engaged with extraordinary freedom at Sydney, the amount accord ng to one authority being sufficient to take care of the Australian surplus In full. Mild weather In tho United States winter crop region added to bearish senti ment regarding wheat and prevented any important reaction In values. There was some talk ot export business here under cover, but only the purchase of a few straggling loaas couiu ua esiaousnea uc yond Question. Bull leaders came to the support of the corn market and forced bears to retreat. Prosnects ot continued fine weather had tended at first to make sellers somewhat aggressive, and so also had the good crop outlook and argentlna. More notice whb taken later of reoorts that country roads were breaking and receipts mignt De ex pected to diminish here next week, outs LEGAL NOTICES. January 23d, 1914. Election Notice.

Trade opened out in good shape this morning, shippers and speculators buying quite a number of loads of good quality butcher and light weight hogs at prices that wero right around 5c higher. As has been the case all week, packers wore slow in getting started and they made their first bids nt prices that were If any thing lower than yesterday's average. Salesmen would not listen to any de cline, however, and In tho end the buyers had to come to time, so that when they finally filled out their droves, values were fully steady and in many cases stronger than yesterday. Taking the mar ket al) the way through prlcea are steady to a nickel higher. Movement was rather dull during the early rounds, but It liv ened up later on and a clearance waa made In fair season. Bulk of the sales landed at $S.3Q8.rO, and several loads touched $S.53, top for the day. and tho highest price that has been paid this week. Owing to the light ness of the receipts of pigs the market In that division has not cut much figure so far this year, but it might be men- tloned that a load of very good quatltv stuff, averaging upwards nf 120 naunds. sold this morning to a shipper buyer, who naci an urgent order tor mom, nt $5.00. iteprcRontativo sales.
