Omaha FOtoreo Market. - Bullish crop reports received during the earner part M the session caused a slight bulge In wheat and the May and July op tions scored an advance of about 2c, Those reports were either exaggerated or were not taaen very seriously by the trade, because later In the session the . bears started a selling rally which forced May wheat down to 91-20 and July to $1.27. the May option closing about 1020 lower. There was net much trading In wheat tor day, but there was a prettyt good .Interest In corn, although there was very tittle ex port business reported la either of these markets.

Wheat After CauUeas Stevi Scores Moderate Advaaeo. Chicago. Feb. 2. Rumors that an Ameri can ship had been sunk and that loss of life had resulted brought unsettled close. The finish ranged from 2o decline to e ad vance as 00m pared with yesterday's latest figures Corn and oats wound up vlrutally unchanged and provisions lOo to Slo higher. Kiuriled trading In wheat did not de velop until the last hour of the session and wits confined .chiefly to the May option. The fad that the sellers were led by a house which had successfully anticipated yesterday's big break in prices did e good deal to emphasise the weakness acoom panted the rumors of a naval mishap. On the other hand lack of confirmation of any attack on an American craft served to check a general fall In prices. It was not until after the day's business was at an end that the probable basis for the rumors was found in dispatches referring to the destruction of a Bulglan relief ship which may possibly have had Americans on board, Hxertme cold endangering the winter crop, especially In Illinois and Missouri gave a moderate lift to wheat prices during the earlier part of the day. Venturesome buy ers were disposed alee to take the ground that the absence as yet of any rapture be twetn the United States and Germany af forded hope that a break In diplomatic rela tions might still bo averted. A majority of dealers, however, seemed inclined to preserve a cautious attitude pending definite developments and there waa not much volume to business prior to the commotion 1 due to disturbing rumors after midday. Indications of a revival of seaboard de mand fof com-strengthened that cereal . temporarily but profit taking on the part of buyers resulted afterward In a reaction, Hprlnfleld, Ilk, sold 200,000 bushels to go to the seaboard at the highest premiums on the crop. Oats merely kept pace with corn. Trade waa light. Provisions bulged on account of buying ' that was credited to packers and to eastern houses. The beat demand waa for lard.

Despite the lightness of receipt and reports of treen strengthening In provisions, packers again had very bearish Ideas and early in the day talked half dollar declines, but refused to make bids. Shippers were very quiet, and bought only a couple or three scattering loads early, which looked about steady with yesterday's packer market, or 26930c be low the higher shipper market When packers finally did start t they had revised their early Ideas a good deal, but they were still talking lower, making first offers anywhere from 10c to a quarter tower than the prios they paid yesterday. Sellers were entirely up la the air, but In view of the present unsettled conditions and the fact that provision were aUU consider ably lower than two days ago, the eon eeaelone packers were asking did not look exhorbttant and It was not long until the bulk of the hogs started moving at the de cline named, that Is 10926e under yester- aeys packer trade, or s9c lower than yesterday's early ahipper market, which mesne a decline of somewhere around 109 3 60 from yesterday's average. The bulk of the offerings sold at 111.16911.40, with scat tering lights below this spread and a few loads of god heavies as high aa 111.60.

BBADSTBEET'S TRADlJ REVIEW. Trad fArclee ' Disturbed By Crave Character of Not. New Tork. Feb. 3. Bradstreet'e will say; Trade circles have been disturbed by the grave character of the new German note and speculative markets depressed by waves of liquidation shipping rates and in surance risks sharply advanced and hesi tancy In buying of bulk commodities engendered pending developments. But most of the week's business had been trans acted before publication of the note and all accoonts agree In chronicling remarkable activity, with wanti rather than hlgtt prlcee propelling buying .while scarcity of goods. Insufficient productive capacity, lack of labor, and shortage of railway cars loomed large as ever, Dtetributlon by .retail dealers has been animated by cold weather over a wide area, anrl lo consequence re-orders for winter good expanded. Industrial lines manifest activity, hut the shortage of railway facili ties, made worse by cold weather, restricts receipts a well as outbound shipment.
