OTHER CEREALS CLOSED AT A LOSS There In SIMIIO Tnlk of Smaller Jlcnerics li I'urmnrV UiiniU nml Thl , with tlio J'ruMillliif ; Flno UVnthvr , Had .Much iifoct. : CHICAOO , March S. Wheat Is from % o 'o % c lower today than It closed yesterday Yesterday the shorts thotmht It prudent to Blmpo their course In readiness for what ever the government might have In the way of farm BtocUit to give out on Satur day. Today the bulls thought It prudent to make similar preparations. Ono of the latter who resides In Now York concluded to turn over his whole cargo nnd did so and tlio resulting commotion at the start was not recovered up to the close. There was some Belling out of long corn also and realizing In onts as well , both nrtlclos clos ing somewhat under yesterday's prices. Provisions were dull and weak early , but closed without much change. Wheat at the opening was about the sarno its yesterday's closing and then advanced from He to Vic , but became weaker later and prices declined from % c to % c , became stronger again , and prices wore advanced from Vic to 5Ao , ruled caay , closing about from Me to lie from the bottom. The firm opening was attributed partially to the firmer English cables , but there scorned to be a disposition on the part of some hold- on ) ( it the Htuit to sell , and with true offer ings the market gradually sagged off. But there was pretty fair buying at the decline , which caused a reaction again [ Hid partial recovery of the decline. TIi'o receipts In the northwest showed tip pretty liberal again today , and operators arc still looking1 for the diminution In the receipts mentioned , and the markets In the northwest worn not FO strong. A report that ? 2,000,000 In gold will go out of this country by Saturday's steamer had an unfavorable effect. The corn market was hardly active'at any time. The opening trades were at about the closing prices of yesterday , and under affair demand sold up from Uc to % c , a leading operator buying moderately , as was the case yesterday. Tlio advance brought out Increased offerings , shippers and the elevator' Interests Belling , which carried prices down from % c to Vic. Hoom traders who were "long" also sold on the decline. The fine weather and action of t wheat were Instrumental In Influencing the selling. The closing showed from V4c to % c decline. Thcro Is sonic talk of smaller reserves In fanners' hands. There was no conspicuous trading In oats , prices only going % c above the closing prlco of yesterday. After a % c decline the close was steady at a net loss of % c on May and steady on July. Provision trading was very light , more so than for a week past , with next to nothing doing In pork and ribs. Price changes were unimportant. Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat , CO cars ; corn , 210 cars ; oats , 120 cars ; hogs , 18,000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows : Articles. | Opom | High. | Low. | Close.

Minneapolis \Tlient Market. MINNEAPOLIS , March 8. Receipts of wheat today were 2tt > cars ; shipments , 61 cars. The mllllnK demand for trnck wheat was fair but much leps Una-lit than last week , due probably to the larger receipts thai have been collecting hero for the pnsl week. The sales ranged from GOUc to ft ) ? c for No. 1 norf.iern on truck , but th price was lower at the end of the session. May wheat opened nt MVic nnd July nt G0ic.

It Is probable that the smaller sales to arrive will bo followed within a few days by lighter receipts , when It Is possible thnt the premium for trnck wheat may be advanced ngnln nbovo the July price. It wns noted thnt some heavy celling wns done by parties who were known to Imvo considerable outside business , so that It was presumed outsiders sold more than they bought. There wns apparently n genernl waiting for the government report on the amount of whent In farmers' hands , ns there wns rnnsldernlilo differ ence of opinion ns to what effect It would have on the market. Flour mills nro running nt a rnto of nlwit 23,000 bbls. for the 21 hours. Some of the mills reported sales equal to their production , while others nre selling less than they arc making. Prices nre tolerably llrm for Hour at about IJ.M to $3.60 for patents , with some held nbove nnd some snld to hove been fold below that price , tinkers were held nt nbout $1.75 to $2.10 , with sales reported Inside of that range.

Holders of sugar shares are not pleased with the senate tariff bill fixing the tariff on sugar. They claim the proposed rate is equal to only l-10e per pound on refined sugar , which scarcely equals the German bounty on beet sugar. On the Stock exchange today the stock went oft 6 % per cent from yesterday's close , and Iho closing sale was only % c above the bottom tom figure , the net loss of the day being G'/i per cent. Distilling was oppositely affected. After breaking to 24 % , the tariff news carried it up to 27 % , but heavy sales forced it down and the net gain was only & per cent. Grangers were depressed and .ho general list was weak. The bond mar ket was strong. The Evening Post says : Although the sharp advance of Paris sterling rates may prevent further specie shipments from the United States to Franco , Saturday's English steamer will probobly carry "out a consider able amount of gold , and the shipment will Ijo purely commercial ; that is to say , the gold will go because , with all allowances for trelght , Insurance and loss of Interest dur ing transit , It is a cheaper means ot paying foreign debts than the bidding for and ship ping of bankers' bills. Foreign sales of se- : urltlcs in our markets , which have con tinued with hardly a break during and since tlio panic , and the repayment of sterling loans for which our money market no longer gave employment , have much more than counterbalanced merchandise exchange.

The trial of the case of the state against Edward Collins , charged with having mur dered Louis McPbcrson at Valley , this county , during the night of November 18 , 1893 , was resumed In the criminal court yesterday. Witnesses Dyers , Blair , Cullen - len and SaunderS" were called and testified for the prosecution , most of them swearing that they had heard the shot that killed McPherson. Some of the witnesses helped to carry the murdered man from the tracks to the hotel. The night of the shooting the moon was shining , which fact the witness thought made It possible for Dale to haVe recognized the man' who did the shooting. During the morning session of the court the state closed the Introduction of testi mony on the direct examination , after which the attorney for the defendant put William Harrier on the stand. This witness was the man for whom Collins worked prior to the time of his arrest. On the night of the shooting Collins was at witness' house until shortly after 9 o'clock , after which ho went to the bjjrn to "sleep. After that time witness did not see Collins until the next morning. On the day of the arrest witness thought that Collins was drunk at the time when ho talked with the sheriff and the reporters. He had not seen Collins drink any liquor , but he had the appearance of a man who had been drinking. The witness knew De tective Hansom of the Union Pacific railroad and know that ho had employed Collins to watch the property of the company and pre vent It from being stolen. Couldn't Deliver the Goods. The Blue Valley Lumber company has brought suit In the district court to recover the sum of $25,000 from Abner nnd Joseph Conro , wholesale lumber dealers and mill owners at nhtnelandcr , WIs. The plaintiff alleges that during 'the month of January , 1892 , It was solicited by the defendants to buy a large quantity of lumber that was In the yards at Ilhlnelander. At that tlmo ho alleges that the defendants stated that the lumber was worth the sum of JSO.OOO , and upon the representations that amount of money was paid. Later on the plaintiff learned that there was not the quantity of lumber represented , and that Instead of being 'worth $80,000 , the lumber was worth but $55000 , hence the suit for the balance. - fllioHt of 'S Oraillntr Muddle.

OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKETS Receipts of Oattlo and Sheep Increase While Hogs Poll Off Shwply. DEMAND FOR BEEF IS GETTING BETTER I'rlcod on All Sortn of I-'nt Htrer * sTroiiR to lllRlier-Cotv and .MUi-d Steady HogTradc Witn Humpbacked Yesterday. THURSDAY , March S. Cattle nnd sheep receipts so far this' week have been somewhat heavier than last , biit there has been a falling off of over 5,000 hogs. The supply of cattle was hardly its IIUJTC as dealers were expecting and the better tone to Chicago advices and the good general , demand were all In the sellers' favor. There wore few really good cattle and none that could bo called choice , but when the cattle are wanted bad , buyer : ) are not so captious ns to the quality as when they don't care very much whether they get the cattle or not. At any rate , there was enough com petition from the outside to put prices for the steers weighing upwards of 1,200 Ibs. anywhere from a shade to lOc higher than Wednesday. On the ordinary run of stuff the market opened out active and strong and under the circumstances dealers were not long In effecting a clearance. There was also a livelier , healthier feeling In the cow market. Offerings Included less tlmn a third of the entire receipts and buyers for local killers apparently had sufficiently liberal orders to take twice that many. Prlcea were not quotably higher on any par ticular grade , but the trade was.brisk and the feeling firmer nil around. Calves at from $3 to $5.35 were active and stronger , but the market for rough stock was little , If any , different from Wednesday. In stockcrs and feeders the market was active and prices strong , although the vol ume of trading was somewhat restricted. Thcro was a very good country demand and both fresh and stnlc offerings combined hardly served to satisfy it. Good , smooth wcstgrn steers , weighing around 1,000 Ibs. , sold readily at $3.25 nnd $3.30. Good to choice feeders are quoted at $3.00@3.-15 ; fair to good , $2.7E@3.00 , and lighter , commoner grades at from $2.75 down. Representative sales : DRESSED Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. Mo. Av. Pr. .

Receipts were not much smaller than on Wednesday , but nearly 2,500 short of the same day last week , There was a good general demand and as eastern" markets were better buyers lost no tlmo In getting down to business. On the early market It was $1.76 for everything or a big lOc higher than Wednesday , and buyers were falling over each other to get the hogs. Dad reports from Chicago cooled their ardor somewhat , and after the first few rounds they were trying to and did get the hogs at $4.C5 and ? 4.70 , the early advance being about all lost.

CAN'T ' PLEASE JUDGE SCOTT Question of Temperature Onuses aBowBo- twcon Him nml County Authorities. COMMISSIONERS WILL MAKE A FIGHT a Hills Incurred 113Crlinliml Court .Itulco Will He ItefiiM'd liy the tloiird Htory of tliu Troubles l.rildlllR Up to - * * tlit > llrcuk. The county commissioners and Judge Scott of the criminal section of tlio district court have1 put on four-ounce gloves , no to speak , and Imvo gone Into training for a contest , the outcome of which will bo watched with considerable Interest liy the other olllcluls. Trouble httH been brewing for nome months , but It came to n show down \Vodnci- day afternoon when Judge Scott adjourned his division of the court , claiming that the temperature of his room was BO low that ' - ' It made the transaction of business Itnpos- < slblc. If comfort wns to bo considered , Some months ago , when Judge Scott pre sided In law room No. 2 , the commissioners claim Unit ho went wild upon the question of Hags nnd went to the extreme of having n couple of the starry banners nailed over his door. Not being satisfied with thla display , without consulting the commis sioners , these gentlemen dcclaro that ho hired n painter and gave the Interior ot the room a coat of bright blue paint , after which ho ordered a carpet and easy chairs and couches galore. The bills for these j expenditures were examined nnd paid , the 1 commissioners claiming thnt as they knew I that ho was erratic , they considered that . _ 9 j the best way out of a bad Job wns to humor I his whims and give him all of the rope I that ho wanted , feeling that when ho had enough , he , himself , would call n halt. I Since that time Judge Scott and the com- | mlssloncrs have been upon speaking terms , i though they Imvo not been upon terms of I the closest Intimacy. Wednesday , however , the bars wore let down and a fight was de clared , which can only end In the survival of the fittest. During the session of the court and when the Mcl'horson-Colllns murder trial was on Ji the boards , with forty or fifty witnesses V present nnd nil being paid by the county nt the rate of $2 per day , to say nothing oftlio jurors and the attorney for the defendant , nil of whom nro being paid by the county , Judge Scott suddenly stopped the progress of the trial , sniffed the air and declared that the temperature of the room was at a point whero.lt would give a man the pngumonla. Finding matters In this condition the Judge declared from his bench that ho would adjourn court until such tlmo as ho could Imvo the atmosphere warmed up to a degrco that would Insure health nnd comfort. After this declaration had been made , court , witnesses , Jurors and lawyers loft the room , nnd the super intendent of the lmllding went In , there to find that while Judge Scott was complaining of cold he had had the steam shut oft and all lot the windows opened , allowing the , > lnd to whisk about without any obstruc tions , thus lowering the temperature of the court room to about 40 degrees. Mr. Ilauck at once closed the windows , turned on the steam nnd within ten minutes had the temperature up to SO degrees. This fact was reported to the commissioners and In discussing the matter yesterday they said that there was no use of trying to'-get along with the Judge. Ho was always ready , to find fault with everything that happened * $ 7\ \ to drop In his way. His room was always S" VI too hot or too cold and that It was Impos sible to suit him In any partlular. To show his peculiarities the commissioners cited the fact that at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the judge had all of the shades drawn and the blinds closed. In addition to this he had lighted the gas and had some thirty Jets burning nt'their full capacity , notwithstand ing the fact that It was a bright and sunny afternoon. The commissioners Imvo declared that they will call the judge down in all of these unnecessary expenditures of public money , while the Judge has declared himself and has determined to run the criminal section of the criminal court according to his own fdoaa. Dnntn/cd / liy Storm Wntcr. A Jury has returned avcrdlct in the case of Kennard & Iloss against Marthcna Saunders which has been on trial before Judge Hopowell for several days , finding for the plaintiff and assessing $100 as itho amount of damages. The plaintiffs were the owners of the second building east ot the northeast corner of Fourteenth and Douglas streets , while the defendant owned the building on the corner. Plaintiffs allege that during storms the water flowed from the roof of defendant's building , running Into their basement anrt. _ damaging the foundation to the extent elf $2,300 , and that the defendant refused to settlo. AViiiitHun Old Clnlm Settled. In Judge Ambrose's court the case of Henry T. Clarke against the Omaha Illu minating company Is on , trial. The plain tiff Is seeking to recover on a claim ot $1,087. duo for more than five years. The plalntlfT claims that some years ago the Northwestern Electric Light and Power company leased seven dynamos and n lot of electric light equipments to the defend ant , the same to bo paid for'-nt the rate ot ? 1DO per month. This rental was not paid , and eventually the claim was purchased by the plaintiff and the present suit brought lu " the courts. Court Culling * . Anna 13. Corrlgan has sued the other heirs of the Edward J. Corrlgan estate ask ing for a partition of the property , the most of which Is located In South Omaha , and la valued at $100,000. A final decree has been ordered In the cstato of Samuel H. Drown and the prop erty , valued at $500,000 , Is divided among the three heirs In accordance with the terms ot an agreement mudo and filed some months ' ago. > " Maria , widow ot the late Carl A. II , Sand- stcdt has been cited to appear In the pro- liato court on April 2 and answer questions relative to the disposition ot the property ot the estate. The members ot the 13 , n , Druco Drug company , who are creditors , allege - logo that Kho has been disposing of her * ' property with Intent to cheat and defraud the creditors of the Into Sandstedt. In tho. suit of Henrietta Stromlnskl against her husband , Julius , Judge Ferguson has granted a divorce to the plaintiff , and has also decreed that she Is the owner of the property which was In controversy. The attorneys for W. S. Cofllold , the younK man who was convicted of being a whola- . ealo bank check forger , have filed a motion for ri new trial , giving twenty reasons why the verdict of the Jury should bo set aside. What one Grocer says : " I hire clerks who can sell the goods that I tell them to sell and of course I tell them to sell the goods on which I make the most money : If they can't do it , I won't have them. That'sMvhat I hire them for. " This is an actual fact related by a grocer to our salesman and it's a common fact ; ; we have it daily. So , you see , when they tell you that sonic worthless or dangerous Avashing-powder is < ( the same as" or "as good as" Pearline , that's because it pays a larger profit. Too large , altogether if clerks can be hired on purpose to make people take things they don'Mvant and know nothing of , instead of a tried and proved article like Pearline. If your grocer "sends ydti what you do not order , be honest send it back ,
