OMAHA, Nov. I. 1905.
Opening cables came I'D higher on wheat
and I'D higher on corn. The export de-
mand continues to be good and the daily
taklngs are large. Every indication is that
wheat IL working into a stronger position
steadily and eventually prices will be
higher. The general conditions remain ia
vorable for gathering the new corn and
there Is a slight increase In the country
movement, while the demand Is very mod
crate and with q large movement soon 10
come values should fall some over.
Wheat showed considerable strength from
the start, and buying power was strong
ON better cables and light receipts. the
advance was steady, with May option
showing the better tone. December wheat
opened at 94hc and closed Sac.
Corn ~sympathized with wheat early and
made some gain. Interest is slack, how
ever, and coupled with a higher demand,
very little Is 70 be expected Just before
the movement of this years crop. De
cember corn opened at 55tc and closed al
b55tc.
Primary wheat receipts were: 1,149.Oo
bushels, and shipments were 1000
against receipts last year of &I,OO bushels
and Of 45f, 600 bushels.
Corn receipts were 10000 bushels. ana
shipments we're III, 600 bushels. against re-
ceipts last year OF 20l,OW bushels, and

Anxiety among wheat traders concerning
the new corn crop was aroused by the
Ohio state report, which was made public
yesterday ana which showed a serious de-
terioration in the growing crop In that
state owing to lack OF moisture. A local
crop expert In a report published today
maintained that the Ohio report was only

Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee and
corded in many years. 1t was also claimed
that the condition of the crop In Missouri,

the continued small receipts despite the fe-

SALES OVER MILLION SHARES
Heavy Outside Buying Causes Con-

Affected by Enormous
Realising sales.

NEW YORK. Nov The excitement IN
the speculation was maintained today, as is
witnessed by the transactions of nearly
100000 shares during the two hours ses-
sion. The list OF different issues dealt in
an unusually large one, thus testifyirg
to the variety and breadth of the market.
a widespread buying fever, such as breaks
out In periods of a great bull market.
The character of the attendance in brok-
ers OFFICES and the floating discussion in
the financial district showed this also. The
digestive. power OF the market itself was
the best illustration Of this condition.
Enormous realizing sales were made from
time to time by the wary professional ele-
ment as has come into the market to take
good care of itself. But the flood Of buying
orders was Uninterrupted and the specula-
tive appetite gave no evidence OF being APP
peased. 1t was stimulated by the ~roseate
IN published reports OF great orders placed
for commodities wholesale assumptions by
mills and sudden activity in commercial
ines. THESE reports were borne out, In
part. by the more sober and detailed can
Vass OF the commercial agencies, whose
weekly reports testified fully to the re-
VlHal IN progress In the case of some de-
tailed reports railroad orders on an enor-
nous scale for new equipment and other
outlay, there came specific denials. A
lively effect on the speculation was caused
oy the belief that the railroads OF the coun-
Try were embarked upon a concerted at
tempt toward higher freight charges. The
temporary Injunction granted against the
enforcement of the Interstate Commerce
commission for reduction of Missouri river
rates fed the conviction that the railroads
are to have a freer hand in fixing charges.
some effect on prices was made in the
second hour by the extensive realizing
veloping when the market closed in great
animation. The sharp reduction in the
banking surplus was predicted before the
market closed, although the statement was
not published until afterwards.
The bond market was active and strong
sotal sales, par value. S5,240,0n. United
States bonds were unchanged on cali for
the week.
