riHE REE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. APRIL 24, 1914. GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET War News Acts ns Pronounced Help to Market Balls. I HEAVY ADVANCE NOT IN ORDER ! Grain Anthorltlcj Declare thnt II IrIi FltRht In I'rlcra Will Itcsult In Heavy Lomen for Slircnlntors. OMAHA. April 23, 1914. War rumors of all coio.s were In cir culation on the Board of Tiaue yesterday and these acted- as a pronounced bull helD tO the VArlftlW strains i iii.ru wa.a net advances of lHlc In wheat. li 1 vvi in -urn ana 'tWlttc m outs. Willie suiiie oi -m more rnnKorvntlva men with Mexico would cut no arent su'nth In the matter of price making, there -wore others who ran to cover-not caring lit remain On t:ie fiort s:;c oi the muiket under present conditions. The one word, 'war." has been known to advance breadstuff prices to sena tlonal altitudes. In .all the markets of the workl aha In many Instances hea losses have been taken hy tnose owning the grain, which was bought on pros pects of war. One of the 'larger concerns !n the Ch' cago grain trade. In its advices sent to the country last night, and in referring to the war, said that It may be possible to put wheat prices st 11 higher by main force, but That would be about the only excuse apparent for any further advance in values. The above may be construed aa a gentle hint to customers that the present IdenJ crop promise in the south west, as wail as In some of the European coUntrliM. overbalanced all else that may be brought forward by the bulls. There was little trade In cash wheat at Chicago yesterday, the total transac tions amounting to 6.7,00.) bu. to Interior and cHy millers. Winnipeg reported twenty-flvo boatloads Manitoba fur May and June shipment at the seaboard, nnd bids were said to be better yosterday than for some time past. Exporters at Winnipeg: were heavy buyers of futures there. Kansas Cty reported orders on the buying side as a result of dry weather In Nebraska and Kansas. , Corn responded to the Increased cash business at the opening of the eesslon yesterday, and there was unite a change in. the matter of sentiment for the day. Considerable corn la going out by water, and the majority of this Is being taken by the Corn Products plant In the cast, The recent break In the cash article brought many of the manufacturers Into the market agalh and placed our corn in competition with the Argentine grain. Dry weather was a help In the- oats martcet; the strength at Winnipeg was alsd 'a noticeable feature. The cash trade was'small at 1D6.000 bushels, shew ng no Improvement Jn the demand. Weather is excellent fop the finishing ,0P of seeding. Cash wheat was unchanged. Cash corn was Vic to c. higher. Cash pats were unchanged ta 'ic higher.

ClIICAliv) GRAIN AND PROVISIONS Feature of the Trading nnd Closlnar 'Prices on Doard of Trade. CHICAGO, April 23,-Ilalns that put a stop to danger of drouth In the greater part of 'the country west of the Mlsguurl river had-a bearish effect today on the wheat market here. Prices closed unset tled, MfiHc under last night. Corn f'n Ished l-l&c off to c up, qats down i& He and, provisions at, 2Wftl5c decline. Selltpg of wheat quickly became gen eral' as soon an the market was open. The fact that .the moisture In some sec tions of tho dry belt proved light and that in such places heavier showers would bo needed without delay, especially In" Nebraska, did not prevent unload ns by hplders nor restrain aggressive at tacks from bear leaders. Cables -were disappointing to the bulls and there wus no; 'support from shorts, who as a rule had, .been -eliminated by the advance due to- the war" excitement on the previous day. Although a strong rally took place In wheat, about the middle of the .session on account of millers northwest being active buyers, the. market later suffered another setback. Absence of export Inquiry counted against the bulls. Though clearing weather In. Argentina tended to ease corn at the outset, the market late developed strength, the May option In particular. A feature of the trading was the active buying of May and the selling Of July on the part of several of the devator companies. Re ceipts here were email and there was a big falling off In Argentine nipmenU for the week. Unlike corn, oats failed to display power to recover. Rainy weather, with more, predicted, acted aa a weight on the maraei. Higher prices for . hogs brought . " .. i. n, In nrnv.sions. only On all J.

After a couple of hours or so local buyers and sellors agreed on steady prices then most everything was weighed up in short order and another seasonable clear ance waa effected. . What Mexican lambs were here sold at $.2S, and the bulk of the fed westerils moved around $7.60tJ'7.85. there being four cars ot Wyoming lambs fed In Nebraska at the latter price. Heavy lambs and the shorn grades were In smaller supply than yesterday and If anything the gen eral trade In' such kinds had an easier tendency, and In fact that were some sales that loqked a dime lower. Tho packers still show much discrimination against the heavy and shorn lamb. Nothing suitable for shearing and finish ing was available. The proportion of aged sheep was scant, as only a few scattering decks of shorn ewes and wboled wethers and yearlings were In evidence. Some shorn ewes were reported as selling at $4.76, wooled weth ers at $6.85 and wooled yearlings at $7.25, there being nothing strictly choice of any class of sheep offered. The receipts for tho week to date have shown no great & change, either as to lio or quality, from last week, and prices on tho best grades Of lambs of handy weight nnd of the right finish are prac tically steady with the close ot the week. There have been, however, Jew really good lambs, showing up from day to day, as the bulk of the receipts have been only fairly good. and overly heavy. Heavy lambs and the shorn grades declined 15tf 25c and aged sheep 105fl5c.
