TRADE LIGHT AND NEWS VERY SCARCE
OMAHA. Dec. 70. 1906.

OMAHA, Dec. 10, 1906.
Trade was light and wheat was weak.
December was at one time nc lower. Small
receipts in the northwest were offered by
larger arrivals at southwestern markets,
making the total nearly equal to last year.
Gables from Argentina said rains had fallen
in some parts Of the country and the quail
NY OF new crop was good. News Of i'm
F1rtant nature was scarce today.
December corn was firm early In the ses-
sion, but otherwise the market was very
quiet, all months closing below yesterday.
Denveres on December contracts were
considerable and the open interest is be-
ing reduced rapidly. Receipts were not as
large as expected, but shipments we're
much less than a year ago. II cars could
be secured there would be a better move
ment OF corn.
els and shipments Hs,OOO bushels. against
receipts last year of $4,000 bushels and
shipments OF 265, 900 bushels Corn receipts
were $4,000 bushels and shipments 2OSOOO
bushels, against receipts last year of ill.,
10 bushels and shipments OF 551 900 bushels.
Clearances were 1856, 0OU bushels wheat, ia
w bushels corn, 20,760 bushels oats and
flour and wheat equal to 47aOOO bushels.
Liverpool closed Nd lower on wheat and
unchanged on corn.
The Liverpool Corn association today
ADOPTED a new contract. This will have
the effect OF considerably reducing Liver
pool quotations, nominally, because the
ideal grade A will be abolished
Corn Trade News correspondent in Ham
burg says In the issue of December 4 the
arrival OF some steamers Of Kansas wheat
In very bad state has again caused nu-
merous protests against the certificates.
The stun could not be delivered to millers.
therefore they had a good demand for Rus
sian wheat and River Plata new crop
Leask says Evidence given in the
northwest yesterday was TO the effect that
farmers were compelled to haul their grain
back to the farms, as elevator capacity
was filled and no measS OF getting cars"

CHICAGO, Dec 19-Realizing sales by

visions were 21sQ6c to 100 higher.
Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish
all day and the volume Of trading was very
small. The easier tone Of the market was
due more to the general dullness than to
any new feature In the situation. Receipts
In the northwest were again small, but this
shortage was discounted by the fact that
many cars are being used TO carry coal to

ings came chiefly from shorts. The market
closed weak, with prices close to the lowest
point. May opened unchanged at 7S15Q7Smc,
sold between 7ShG7s9kc and closed at 7sAc.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal

bu., against S23 900 bu for the same day last
year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts OF 4l3 cars, against 4l6 cars
last week and $50 cars year ago.
With the exception of a mild furry in the
December option, due to covering by shorts,
the corn market was steady and dull. May

CATTLB-The country is INDUCING in its
annual clearing sale and is flooding the
market not only here but at other selling
points with great lot of half-fat steers
at a time when, as usual before the holt
days, the consuming demand calls for the
best grades and only a limited number OF
them Just why feeders are so anxious to
unload at this season of the year Is diff
cult question to answer. Nevertheless the
cattle keep coming and prices keep going
lower.
1t is no easy matter to find any two sales
men who will exactly agree as to the
amount Of decline on any one day. The
cattle come In so late in the morning and
are not all disposed of until night, that II
is very difficult to quote the market with
no one, however, but what thought the
market today was all Of SOC lower than 1t
was ten days ago. Some or the very best
cattle possibly did not show that much on,
but the great big bulk of all the cattle have
suffered that much decline. II is impossible
for the country to fully realize just how
bad II Is, but the market is not only lower
! here but at every other point as well. II
| is also impossible to make quotations which
| will fully show the decline that has taken
place, partly for the reason that the cattle
| are getting better all the time, so that while
| the range Of prices may be very nearly the
same It takes much better cattle to bring
/ them than was the case a short time ago.
The market on cows and heifers opened
/ extremely slow this morning the same as
( It has every morning OF late With good

clined to walt until they knew more about

| forenoon was we'll advanced before any
/ thing of consequence was done. The mar
ket on cows has suffered in about the same
way as have steers. The trade has been
dull and lower almost every day, and while
sellers may diner very materially as to the
/ transactions for any one day no one dis
putes but what decline Of 4oOc has taken
( place on the general run OF fair to pretty
decent cows
The feeder trade Is very slow and dull.
/ The break In beef cattle has naturally
made buyers rather weakened and the
| tendency of the market has been lower, al
! though feeders have not suffered quite as
much Of a decline as have fat cattle.

HOGS-The market was late in opening
but when the trade was once underway. II
was fully steady on the general run OF
hogs, with some Of the best grades possibly
stronger. The fact was that buyers seemed
to want the good hogs especially this
morning. both light and butcher weights
and good heavy weights. The trade was
not active at any time, hut when once
underway a large proportion Of the early
arrivals soon changed hands
The later market did not show very much
change. being possibly a little bit easier
in spots. The quality Of the hogs tuda
was very good, and that fact helped the
sales to show up well on paper
