THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1914. Bears in Grain Given Plenty of Speculative Hope. CROP CONDITIONS ARE GOOD While Seeding; of Wheat Una nn Lale In Northwest the Outlook Promise an Rztraordl nnry Harvest. OMAHA, April 29. 13U. The bears In the various grain matkois were given all the speculative rope they cared to use nnd the ennwa lencc was that they put out good sized short lines yesterday. In addition to this felling there was liquidation by belatd longs. Instead of tMklng care ot the grain dumped Into the pits the trade 01 the whole backed away from It and had l.ot purchases been made in order to s-ecuro profits much larger declines would have been seen. There were losses In wheat of Sc, in corn of HSUic, and In oats of Va',c. Crop conditions wero even more favor able than heretofore. "While the sooting Is late in western Canada and the grain men at Winnipeg are becoming alarmed over conditions, the delayed seeding In our own northwest la attracting only passing attention, as the conservative men up there believed there Is anip. time to Seed wheat and -all that Is .leees snry to complete the work are liUhcr ttr-r futures. In addition to the ideal crop conditions In the southwest was the slow cash trado In wheat. There were sales hero of only 20,000 bushels and the cash handlers as one man reported bids as' out of lino for even small slxcd lots, as Interior millers nro enabled to secure all the new wheat they are in need Of at their mill doors. Holdings of wheat In the northwest are letting go of it In a slow manner, as there were only 90 cars at Minneapolis and Tu luth yesterday, while a year ago there were 278 cars. While the roads In the Argcntlno are reported as Impassable because of tho recent rains, the corn from that country was offered at 64 cents for May and at MWo for June shipment c. I. f. New York. This was Vie off for May and lc lower for June. A cable from there re ported' damage reports as greatly exag gerated and sent here for the purpose of advancing prices. Cash wheat was ViSWo lower. Cash corn was unchanged to Ho lower. Cash oats were Uc higher. These cash sales were reported: Wheat No. 2 hard winter: 3 cars, 85e. Corn No. 2 white: t car, 6Sc. No. 3 white: I car, Sic.

Clearances were 22,000 bushels of corn, 25,00) bushels of oats and wheat and flour equal to 176,000 bushels. Liverpool closed ',ad higher on wheat and Hd higher' on corn. Primary wheat receipts were 379,000 bushels and shipments were 500,000 bush els, against receipts last year of 651,000 bushels and shipments of 730,000 bushels. Primary corn receipts were 312.000 bushels and' shipments were 732,000 bush els, against receipts last year of 634,000 bushels and shipments of 943,000 bushels.

Outside markets also were wen supplied and Dearisn reports from all points created a rather weak feeling In the local trade. Demand 'was KOod. however, and the best cattle, both heavy and light, found a -ready sale at steady prices. Choice yearlings sold up to 13.00. the highest price of the season. and heavy cattle camo very close to that xlgure. Aside from tne Dest cattle, now ever, the market was rather slow and about 10c lower. Cows and heifers were In very limited supply and with a vigorous demand from all sources the market .was generally active and tuny steady, veal calves were in limited supply ana quotaDiy un changed, but there was a broader de mand and a somewhat firmer market for bulls, stairs, etc In stockers and feeders the 'supply fell far short of the demand and. prices were stronger for anything at all desirable In this .line. Grass Is coming along nicely In the country and the demand for stock cattle at present Is very keen.

While the wooled lambs and ewea remained at about steady figures with yesterday, tho shorn lambs showed an advance or loetlac. an unusual feature of the market this morning being the preference on the part of the packers for shorn stock, As a. matter ot fact, strictly gooa wooled lambs have been getting more scarce every day, consequently buy ers take more readily to the best grades ot shorn offerings than ot late, and from now on quotations will .be based largely on that Hind of sheep and lambs. ine wooled stock today consisted (it about seventeen cars, two of which wero ewes and the remainder lambs. Such Mexican lambs as were here sold at 97.90 and the bulk of the fed westerns moved around $7.50fj7.85. Shorn lambs sold all the way from JC.30 t& .00.
