Daily globe., 1883-08-18

there was rain in some sections. The
market opened shade under yesterdays
closing, advanced 1S@14c, then declined
58@4c, fuctuated and closed g G lower
than yesterday. No. 2 was more quiet,
sold at 511s@515sc and closed at 511sc
seller. Shippers were Indifferent, in many
cases buying only to complete cargoes.
Rejected was in good request at 47c, clos
ing quiet. The bears predict lower prices.
There were 452 cars inspected in, 555,OO0
bushels shipped and freight taken for
259,O00 bushels.
Oats were dull in sympathy with the 9th
er markets. There was a falling off in
trade all round. Shippers were not buying
so freely as heretofore, and for sample
lots slow and easier market was discern
ed. Speculative trading was particularly
light, but, although dullness prevailed, q
steady feeling was noticeable and prices
remained within yesterdays range. Car
lots of No. 2 sold at 263s@2715c, with
some oats specified as old sold at 27255c in
special locations. The attendance of op-
orators was very small and but little
disposition was manifested to trade. There
were ITO cars received, 110,5e0 bushels
shipped and vessel room taken foy $4,000
bushels.
There were liberal cash offerings of rye
and also fair speculative offerings. A
good shipping demand was noticeable,
but the inquiry from other sources was
only moderate. Prices were a
shade easier. Sample lots continue
selling quite freely on local and shipping
accounts. The futures were 4@Ic
easier. Some Is oars arrivsd, $4,000
bushels were sent out, and vessel room en-
gagged for lot of 5000 bushels.
Barley was in some speculative demand,
and 62c was bid for September,
but there was no trading, for sellers held
above this, asking 64c. The cash market
was inactive aside from few sales made
by sample.
The provisions trade is stagnant, with
indications Of weakness next week if spec
ulation does not revive. Lard is especially
weak and is freely offered at IS. 81 where
$s.421k was bid last night, The yellow
fever at Pensacola seems to have no effect
whatever. Hardly moderate trade was
reported to-day. Local operators trans
acted q fair business, but orders from out
side parties. either to buy or sell. were light
er than usual. The receipts of hogs were
not large, but the market was weak and
! 5@1Oc lower per 100 lbs, which exerts
some influence on the market for product.
| Foreign adviees indicated weaker feeling
on bacon and short clear sides were quoted
Cd lower, while lard was reported steady
aad pork wss stronger aRd Is higher.
| Dispatches from the eastern markets
showed very little change in that quarter,
and western markets, we're reported steady.
The receipts Of product were compara-
lively light, while the shipments were lib
eral, and the movement and manufac-
ture indicates . gradual reduction in
the stocks on hand. The market
! opened rather easy at slight
ly reduced prices, but soon
rallied agsin, though trading was coBpar-
| ativeIy light. Later the market weakened
again and prices rsceded TO the inside
! range, but rallied TO medium figures and
ruled comparatively steady to the close.
There vas only q moderate business re-
ported in the market for mess pork, and
/ the greater portion on local account. I'll e
market was somewhat unsettled, and prices
ruled irregular. The opening prices ruled
5@715c lower, but this reduction was
quickly recovered. Later a weaker feel
ing was again manifested and prices re.
ceded 1215615c. Toward tie close the
feeling was steadier and prices
we're slightly advanced, but the market
was quiet. The shipping demand was fail
in the way of filling small orders. Cash
is in moderate request and quotable al
$12. .1s@ 1920, according to quantity.
Only fair business was reported in the
lard market. Buyers were rather slow tc
take hold, and there was little disposition
| manifested 10 sell. The shipping demand
was moderate, but trading is believed tC
be larger than made public. Prices ruleG
} comparatively steady; averaged little
lower for the near futures, while the NOR,
= deferred deliveries were trif,
, higher. Cash is in fair de
mand, firmly held and quotabl

t The cattle market to-day ruled du
