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.

CATTLE Cattle rcceints were rather
more noerai man dealers were cxpecunK,
about 4,000 head, showing up, but far the
greater DroDortlon were beef ateers ot
very good quality. 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. Prices aio
generally about lOtflCc better than a week
ago and the undertone to the trade is very
Dullish.

foots up 22,262 head, over 5,000 short ot
both last week and a year ago.
Advices from other points were very
discouraging again toaay and tne mar

were all ot 1015c lower, and In a good
many cases looked a nat loc dciow yes
terday. Shippers bought a few loads
that were 10f215c off. Not very much
moved on tho early trade, as salesmen
all looked for values to strengthen up
later on. Instead ot raising their early
bids, though, roost of the buyers began
lo slip, wnen tney found thai salesmen

these lowered prices, but when, a little
later, bids regaliud thtlr curl: level a
good many ot the sellers had roine - tc
the conclusion that tney had better cut
loose at the prices they weru offered
earlier In the day, while they had a
chance to do so, and as a result a good
many droves were cashed at this time
at prices that were close to 15c lower
than yesterday's average and lUflf-c be
low Tuesday's packer market. After a
trading basts was reached tho movement
was fairly continuous, but trade did not
become lively until toward the close,
when, under the Influence of keen com
petition, thn market strengthened up and
closed active at prices that wero strong
to a nickel higher than the earlier trade,
and scarcely a dime lower than yester
day. On the whole, the market can be
quoted as Ida 15c lower than yesterday's
average ana jusi aoout a clime neiow
esteraay s average, stoat or the earlier
tales were made around ts.15, with a few
up to 33.17, but a good ninny of the late

SHEEP From the nuenlne to the close
about an average run of ewes and lambs
tor a Wednesday were fairly active sell
ers and everything at all decent In the
Killing line was disposed or by lo:so
o'clock. 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.
The Inoulrv 'for sheen and lambs for
shearing and feeding purposes ,was much
tno same as on recent days, nut nine mi
that class was available today. Early
business Included sAie feeding Iambs t.t
7.10.
Tne receipts rooted tin some s.iin neaa.
against 6,221 last Wednesday, 9.297 two
weeks ago and 7,183 a year ago. Other
markets were about normally supplied,
nut nrst messages rrom rnose points in

eral, trade wltn the tendency to prices
Weak and a Uttlo lower.
