THE SAINT o PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 1?, 1888.— SIXTEEN PASM
THE COMMERCIAL RECORD/
On the Chicago Board of Trade There
Was a Downward Tendency for
Grain and Provisions.
The Wheat Pit Was Filled Early by a
Crowd of Anxious and Active
Operators.
Transactions in the Financial Circles of
Wall Street— General
Quotations.
Special to the Globe.
Chicago, March 16.— An agreement en
tered into last night by the warring Western
railroads to advance rates on trans-Missis
sippi freight March 26 had the effect of
opening the grain markets on a higher scale
this morning. Corn advanced from 51% c to
51 Vac for May, and wheat from 79*40 to
79i_c.
There was a notable increase in the volume
of transactions, due in part to the reduction
of commissions to a point that will attract
business. The advance in grain did not
hold long, and at the end of the first hour
both the leaders had settled back Vie.' The
feeling was not weak, however. Cables
were steady. Provisions were active and
weak. The early range on May pork was
$14.10@14.05 ; on May lard, $7.67V2@7.65 ;
on May ribs. $7.22i 1 , 7.20. When wheat
gets below 80c it leaves hope behind. When
the price goes under 80c holders be
gin to ask themselves: . "If it isn't
worth that, what is it worth*"
and as the fractions drop off day by day they
become more discouraged. For several days
disgruntled longs have been slipping out
from under their loads. They saw nothing
in the situation to encourage them to hope
for improvement aud have been quitting in
disgust. That is why the market looked
weaker to-day at 78%0 than it has anywhere
on the gradual descent from 86c, and far
weaker than at any point this side of 80c.
Ream and Kennett and Cudahy were in the
pit yesterday and this morning, vociferating
loudly on the buying side :
"have you covered, jack?"
asked Charles Singer, of Cudahy, who has
been sitting silently on a 5,000,000-bu line
from 86c down. "Not a pound will I buy this
side of 75c," was the reply. Later it became
apparent that Ream and Kennett had been
helping to make a market to sell on. Deceived
by their open play, Pardridge bought in abou
1,000,000 bu. Around the opening Pard
ridge's buying probably had more to do with
the strong opening than the settlement of
the freight war, though that was at first
supposed to be the cause. The tone
of the market was decidedly weak
after the flret thirty minutes and
about noon prices declined sharply on the
report that the railroad strike was certain to
become general. A fractional rally resulted
from the non-confirmation of the report, but
the reaction was feeble. Corn behaved bet
ter than wheat. It only broke V_c while
wheat was breaking 7b@lc. The stopping
point was around 51c. Corn was not so
active as wheat, but there was a good trade
passing. The temper of the market was weak,
but it was not subjected to the terrific ham
mering that wheat was. That may have been
the reason why it did not break further. Re
ceipts continue liberal.and news about coun
try stocks was not of a character to encour
age the bulls. There was enough cover
ing of short pork to keep that article
fairly steady, but lard and ribs were
very weak and soft. They were weak at the
close at inside figures. At the afternoon ses
sion there was a general stiffening of prices
for grain and provisions, but the advances
were slight. Pork sold for 10c better than at
1 p. m. Wheat and corn closed about *Ac
higher, with oats steady. 2:30 p. m.

THE ROUTINE REPORT.
Chicago, March There was a little of
the old-time ring on the floor of the board of
trade this morning. The big wheat pit was
filled with anxious and active operators.
The telegraph eomDanies reported more
business than for three mouths. There was
a downward tendency early for both cereals
and provisions. There was no new reason
for weakness, except that the majority of
small orders were to sell, and this gave the
tone to the markets. In the wheat market
trading was of a fairly active character and
the market was weak from opening to close,
the closing price but a shade better than the
lowest of the session. There was free sell
ing by local longs, and numerous small hold
ings outside were ordered sold. The market
showed no rallying strength. May sold be
tween 78% c and 79% c, closing at 78% c. Corn
was less weak apparently than wheat, but it
was also less active. Except a few sales
early over the opening price, the action was
downward, but the range was so narrow that
at the close only a fractional loss was sus
tained. During the session Hutchinson was
a buyer of June and July, and this,
it was thought, checked the de
cline. May opened at 51% c, sold at 51% c
and down to 50% c, closing at 51»*c.
There was less than "Ac range in the specula
tive price of oats, and transactions were light.
May sold at 307/fcc and 31@31i,_c. closing 31c.
Provisions were depressed by larger receipts
and lower prices of hogs and the decline in
wheat. A moderate volume of business was
transacted within a narrow range, and con
sidering all the depressing factors brought to
bear values held up surprisingly well. May
pork was quiet and sold at $14.05@U4.17V2
and closed at $14.15. Lard was offeredmore
freely and trading increased, but buying
proved inadequate and declined s@s*£c,May
selling from 57.67V2 to $7.62*& and closed at
the bottom. Short ribs were fairly active,
2,000,000 pounds were sold by these operat
ors and the bulk was bought by one trader,
who was short. May touched $7.25 early,
but broke to $7.17._ and closed at $7.22V_.

The stock market was again very weak to
day and under the heavy selling develops f
more activity than has been seen at any. ,
previous time during the present week, while ;
material declines were established in several I .
stocks. The absence of foreign buying or-' '
ders in consequence of the lack of telegraph > 1
facilities encouraged the bears to hammer,
the list again, and the -strike on the Atchi- •
son, with the uncertainty in regard to the div- ■
idends on the Gould stocks, were made the '
special occasions of the raids, though the
pressure was transferred to the coal stocks \
late in the day. The first drive was made at
Missouri Pacific on the report that the road '
would not pay a dividend this quarter, but
it is officially announced that the
meeting as ton payment of a div- -
idend is set down for next Thursday, and"
that the only question is whether it shall be I
IV2 or 1% per cent Those in favor of a laige j
surplus reserve advocate the former. Union ;
Pacific was next attacked, the strike haying, .'
according to the reports, extended to that
and other Western roads, and Burlington &
Quincy and several specialties made marked
declines. y The - success in bearing those
stocks encouraged the raiders to extend their
operations to the coal stocks, and • Reading
was brought down a fraction. There was a
better feeling just before the < close, and In ;
some cases small gains were made, but they
had no effect on the general list. Wheeling
& Lake Erie was a marked exception to -, the
course of the general market, being strong on
small sales, but it is officially announced that |
the first quarterly dividend of 1 per cent
will be paid on April 15, and the cer
tificates of [preferred slock will be
ready on the 12th of April. .The
first sales ' this morning were : made at
irregular changes from last evening's figures,
but the market was very, dull and soon be
came weak under the lead of Missouri -. Pa- '
cific. This state of affairs continued until
afternoon, when, on an Increased ; business,
more marked progress was made toward low
er figures, and Union Pacific assumed '- the
lead. The coal stocks were next most prom
inent in the ': dealings, but ' there was no
change in the temper of the speculation, the
market finally closing - weak at - the . lowest
point of the day. Everything, with the one
exception noted above, is lower to-night, and
Tennessee Coal is down 2% ; - Union -Pacific,
1% ; Burlington, 1%;. East I Tennessee first

As is usual at this season of the year the
stock of apples is more or less limited, and
consequently, very firm indeed. A few
strawberries are arriving every day, but the
weather has been cold and raw so that this
this fruit has found but little favor. - Cran
berries are firm and steady. . The . butter
market is in good condition, and everything
is cleaned up, with a good ■ demand for all
kinds, especially for dairies. All good dair
ies are firm, and a good steady market is
looked for, for the next few weeks. Not
withstanding the weather the receipts of
eggs are large, and fresh supplies are abund
ant. Prices are very easy at present aud any
little spurt of mild weather will drop quota
tions lower. Buyers in the country should
take warning. They cannot rely upon ob
taining present prices here in the future.

Flour— has not been any spring inj
crease in the local production and will not be
any great change for some weeks to | come.
The present output is | moving quite - well
without creating surplus i supplies anywhere,
as the buying is only for immediate con
sumption. Prices are steady, with the pros-
Sect of their remaining so until something
evelops not talked of ' now. " There are
small stocks of flour, and the evidence is
that stocks of wheat are below government
computations. If that is . true, it will take
time to develop the error to the extent of af
fecting prices. . The damage has been done
and the healing must . naturally be alow. .
