Daily globe., 1883-08-16
600 bushels shipped, and vessels chartered
for 100000 bushels,

were firm on the sample market. Future
deliveries showed slight improvement
all round. Old oats were if anything
easier. There are good many left yet,
and shippers, who are the only buyers, are
slow to pay the premium over new, which
has been asked. Sales of new No. 9 oats
cash were made at 264@262c for car
lots, and old sold at 265I@27c.
Rejected cars by sample sold fairly if re-
jected on account of being dirty, but were
very dull, if inspecting rejected on &C.
count of going through sweat. Specula-
tive trading was about fair. The market
easy early but subsequently ruled firm.
August ranged &c higher. Other deliveries
not much changed except May, which sold
9s@1Sc higher and closed 11s@1c better.
The receipts we're 14o cars and the ship
ments $4,000 bushels. ~
Rye was active and the demand good
both on shipping and on speculative &C
count. There was 4@1c advance in
prices. No. cash opened at
601ac sold freely later at
602c, and small sales were finally made
at 61@614c. Sample lots in good de-
mand, they selling to distillers, dealers
and shippers. The sample offerings con
sist mostly of rejected, the better grades
being put in store. There were IS cars
inspected in, q, 900 bushels shipped, and
charters engaged for the shipment of 1885,
600 bushels.
Nothing was doing in barley. Still a
steady market was quotable
There was considerable interest mani
tested in the market for hog products, and
trading in the aggregate was
quite large. The feeling, however,
was nervous and unsettled, and
prices fuctuated considerably, though
within moderate range. The receipts
of hogs was fair, but prices ruled easier
on the heavier qualities. Foreign advices
were somewhat unfavorable ana short clear
sides were quoted Is Cd lower, while lard
was steadier and Sd higher. The reports
from the eastern markets inticated little
change in that quarter. The receipts of
product were rather light, while the ship
ments were moderately large. Specu-
lators traded with considerable freedom,
and the, orders to purchase on behalf of
outside parties were more liberal than u.s.
ual, which partially accounted for the
strength of the market early in the day.
The shipping inquiry was fairly active, but
buyers were rather slow to meet the views
of sellers. At the opening the market was
quite strong under the influence of good
speculative demand and prices ruled
higher on all the leading articles. Later
the offerings were considerable increased,
tie market weak ened end prices gradually
settled back to inside figures. During the
latter part of the session a steadier feeling
prevailed, and the market closed at about
the medium figures of the day.
The market for mess pork
displayed considerable activity though
trading was transacted at very irregular
range Of prices. The offerings were liberal
during the greater portion of the day.
Early in the day the feeling was firm and
prices were advanced So 1Oc, but toward
the middle of the session weaker market
prevailed and prices gradually receded 20
@25c. Toward the close the market
rallied again 10@15c, and ruled compara-
lively steady. The shipping demand was
moderate. Cash IN fair request to meet
the orders received. The range on pork
was between $12.4215 and $1215,
closing at $123O. The improvement
in the tone of the market was
due more to the better feeling pervading
other departments and also stocks, but not
to increased buying orders from other
points. Liverpool was better on lard and
the demand here was sharp for October
until Lester sold on the receipt of the fail
ure on Wall street. Afterward there was
rally and the close was firm.
fair degree of activity was noticeable
in the lard market, but the trading was al
most exclusively on speculative account.
Offerings were liberal and the demand at
times quite urgent and chiefly from
shorts. Prices were stronger and 5@10c
higher per 100 pounds at the opening, but
the market soon weakened and prices set.
tied back again 1O@1215c. Near the close
the market ruled firmer and prices rallied
7R@10c and closed steady. The ship
ping demand was only fair. Cash in mod
crate request and prices quotable at $S.15
@S.20. There were 10000 hogs received
to-day and 5000 were left from yesterday.
The quality was but fair the market was
only moderately active and somewhat un-
settled. Light lots in good demand and
firm at former prices. Heavy lots
dull and slow sale at about SC
decline per 100 lbs. Sales ranged at S5.4O
$3.50 for light, S4.7O@5 for mixed pack
ing. and $5@5.3O for heavy packing and
shipping lots. There are 10000 expected
tomorrow. The receipts of cattle were
again liberal, estimated at 1000 head for
the day, and among the arrivals ere sew
| eral droves of choice to extra prime steers
A lot of prime streers, consisting of four
teen head, averaging 1859 lbs., sold at
Sc 40, being the highest figures reported;
sold by Groves Bros. to Goldsmith. Other
grades sold at $6@6.10. The market
was active, firm and higher for good
to extra lots, but dull and weak for COM
mon grades and Texas steers, which were
little better than nominal at. IL O'Clock,
