SPECULATORS ON BOTH SIDES I'll Men IMhbllnK llcnTllr In Yelloir Cereal mid Hitch Faction l Mnlntnlnlnic It U In the Hlght. Decided Weakness Develops on the Stock Exohange. RAIL STOCKS CHIEF SUFFERERS OMAHA, March C, 1914. Ths fact was clearly demonstrated on tne Board ot Trado yesterday that none of the Kraln markets are able to with stand attacks of the bears. Tho selling ii com, wncat and oats was not ot the Kind to disturb speculators under or dinary circumstances, but tho moderate offerings yesterday wcro too much for tlio trade. Corn was the leader, and lrlco changes In that Kraln were followed by wheat and oats. The early business In corn yesterday was at higher prices pecauso ot the reported Improved demand In tho east for tho cash article. Thu u? 8 tncro or abnormally small, and this Is t-ecaupo there has been no busi ness on export account for som'i time, nnd it Is natural that stocks of tho yel low cereal would not bo placed In n posi tion where they could not be used for sfne time. Keating spots wero con siderable below the highest levels of the lnornlng, and showed paper losses for the longs who stood on their lines and reiuseii to sell out as tho market de clined. There are somo big speculators In corn n both tho bull and bear Bldo of the market. Tho "room traders" are bullish in their views. They said after the close that stocks of corn held In Chicago and wiiicn aro now considered cumbersome iy many, will look good to the cash hand lers when the receipts fall off sharply nnd tho cash trado Improves. Thero are somo high rollers of the spec illative world on the bear sldo of con,. Tlie leader is James Patten, and he Is al ways i has a good following, whether ho lis on tho bull or bear side of any of tho grains, lie Is a member of the firm of lJartlctt Krasler and tho customers of that houso arc. It Is said, largely on the short side. Patten was In the pit per sonally selling corn In a moderate way yesterday, without making any great ado about It. It will be remembered that this big speculator was long on a line ot futures and cash corn not long ago, and that he suffered losses. Ho delivered good amounts of that crnln on enntrnrl. and it turned out to bo a white elephant on his hands. ,Tho only thing against Patten on tho bear side of the corn mar ket is that he was never known to maka any money as a bear. Business In wheat was rather small and confined mostly to the professionals. "While tho bears in the spring wheat country contlnuo to dwell upon the fact that the receipts at Minneapolis and Du luth aro to show a heavy falling off !n tho near future, the arrivals at thoa points yesterday wero eighty-nine cars larger than a vear aco. In addition to this, as a bearish factor, was tho Increase or 600,000 bushels In the Minneapolis stocks for five days. Clearances: Wheat and flour, 473,000 bushels; corn, 1,000 bushels; oats, 8,000 uusneis. Liverpool close: Wheat, ?i?d lower; corn. Ud lower. Primary wheat receipts were 6,8,000 bushels and shipments C00,000 bushels, against receipts of 83i3,000 bushels and Hlilpments of 603,000 bushels laU year. Primary corn' receipts wero 1,070,000 bushels and shipments 617,000 bushels, ngalnst receipts ot 817,000 bushels and Hlilpments ot ?23,00O bushels last year. Primary oats receipts were 737.CO0 bush els and shipments 670,000 bushels, against receipts of 62,000 bushels and shipments of 469,000 bushels Inst year. Oats stocks arc large, both In tho visi ble ns well as in Chlcugo elevators, nnd the situation favors tho bears, conse quently. Cash wheat was Ue lower. Cash corn Was unchanged to ia lower.

March 6.-Slgns of a re newal ot exports gave the wicat market today an upward slant. Closing prices were steady U&Ka to 4frttc over last night. Other leading staples, too, all showed a net gain corn a shade to He oats 4c and provisions 74ltc Best prices for wheat cnm after word was received that ocean freight room had been engaged on a liberal scale In tho east. At tho same time, a north western exporter declared that business with Kuropeans was bolnrf done In new crop winter wheat. Leading urms here, however, in touch with the foreign trndo asserted that trans-Atlantic olds contin ued to be out of line. On account of six days' decline wheat offerings appeared to be seriously di minishing, and tins tact was ot consiu erablc help to the bulls. So also was a decided falling off In receipts northwest. Besides shorts were Incllnea to oven up In readiness for ttier government report tomorrow on farm reserves. The unex cellod crop outlook, though, ana tho ab normally largo acreage with no aban donment reported had n constant ten dency to restrict the market advance. In the fact of heavy selling by tho chief bull Interest In corn, commission houses bought freely on account of pre dictions that receipts during March and April would not exceed a third of tho to tal a year ago. It was contended that tho profit In foedlng com u cattlo nnd Hogs at present prices justified farmers In withholding shipments. Threats that Canadian competition in oats would be come acute as soon as navigation opens did not prevent that cereal from sym pathizing with corn. Higher prices at the yards lifted pro visions. Packers wero fair sellers on tho bulge. Chicago future prices! Ontbnral ToTtard Clone Mrfclna vrlth Stamp After Announcement of rhsrgr Against Hand. NEW YOniC, March 6,-Derlded weak ness developed today In the stock market. Railroad stocks wero tho chief sufferers. Chesapeake & Ohio, which was acutely weak yesterday, following announcement of the terms ot a W3,OXi.0OO note issue, again lost ground rapidly. Pronounced heaviness developed In other shares, par ticularly low-priced railroad shores. In dustrials held HP fairly well. In tho last half-hour selling was renewed. Among tho standard shares there were losses of 1 to 24 points. An outburst ot selling toward tho close began with u slump In St. Paul, follow ing announcement from Washington that an examiner of tho Interstate Commerce commission bad charged that St. Paul's accounts had been Improperly manipu lated. That stock dropped more than four points. Dealings In Chesapeake & Ohio wero unusually large. Tho break In this stock apparently aroused uneasiness among foreign hold ers of American railroad securities. For eign holdings was an Important factor In depressing the market. It was estimated that 20,000 shores were unloaded by Lon don, Baltimore Ss Ohio, whose move ments were associated with reports of extensive new financing, was again de cidedly weak. nock Island preferred touched a new low record nt 7S. and the Kansas & Texas and Denver & Grande Issues also yielded readllv.

With moderate receipts, nnd ndvlces from other points Indlcutlng higher Prices, the local market opens In fair shape this morning, and shipper und speculator buyers picKeu tip quite a number of loads of good light and mitchrr Wright hogs at prions that wcro quoted as Mi 10c higher. Packers, however, stuck to their bear tactics, and thnlr early bids wero no better man sieany. Kiuers railed to get much of anything at the figures of fered early, so that as far as puckers wero concerned, tho market was very little different from the earlier duys of the week. As the morning advanced It became ap parent that packers would have to ralso their bids ir they expected to fill thnlr orders, and as shippers stayed in the game throughout the morning, somo ot the killers finally came to time and bought a fow bunches at the nickel ad vance. Movement was extremely slow through out, and It looked for u whllo as thouxh alucs would be weaker on the close, hut shippers continued buying until prac tically everything had been cleaned up, and while tho late mnrket was very draggy, early prices were fairly well sua tained.

Walker ot tho Board of Education In speaking to the Federated Improve ment clubs nt tho city hall last night Ho was asked to tell the federation his attltudo toward allowing tho school houses to bo used for Improvement club meetings. He said ho had no objection to tho uso of school rooms for meeting of Improvement clubs, but he barred poli tical meotlng, purely social gatherings and dantcs. Some," he snld, "have wanted to use tho school houses to glvo a dance, a. regular bear cat and all that sort of thing, nnd of course wo wouldn't stand for anything llko that. It Is truo though that we do allow exhibitions In which they give folic dances, but that li quite a different thing." President F. W. Fitch of the federation read n letter from Stato Superintendent Dclzcll giving his opinion that the Board of Education In each locality had a right to rnlo as It saw fit In regard to what to permit In the school houses.
