OiIICACIO. .May 2-Wheat opened strong
nnd clout 1 weak loilnj. Demand for the
cash nitlrlu wag wanting , and ruins were
conflcletillj predicted for nearly every
patched patch of winter wheat east of the
Mi'-s'sslppl. Hati'Jlcra of ctiBh Kraln here
reported no Mile , und Ne\v York vvlicd that

earn.Wheat
Wheat , compare'd with yesterday's clos
ing pike. Is " c liv.er , corn ftc lower and
oats % c lower. Provisions weiu Independently
Him nid made model ate gains In price.
The eaily cables again , as on the day be
fore , tilled the bull ! ) with enthusiasm and
encouraged thi' bu > lns of wh"at at the start
at nn adv.inco of from 'ic to % o br bu.
July openeJ with buyer ! ) willing lo pay all
the way from CSVio to CS'i-c , and for about
twenty minutes tlio pit kipt on the boll at
nrouinl the top figures of the tpenlng range
During onu of Its high kliks the price
fltruc-k GlVXic , but Inside or fort > minutes
from the start It had tumbled back to
Ol' ' c , and wabbled up anI down between
that ami h'lltc for more than an hour after
ward The early cables quoted the follow
ing advances : Llveipool , M higher and
Htrongj Purls , 10 cenllmt-n higher for Hour
und fi centimes higher for May wheat ; IJer-
lln , hlghei , the equivalent of n'io pel bu
for May and 2\ic pe r hit for heplumber.
Those quotations , togc-llier with the dry
weather cast of the .Mississippi nnd the
fear of whit the men who control the cash
wheat might do , made the combination
which put the price up Ilaln In gene-rous
ciuantltles In man > of the winter wheat d's-
trlats and light allow era over a wider men ,
with a general rainy condition drifting
Htcndlb castwaid , were the reasons for the
decline which followed the llrut advance
The muket had a quick rcaet'on ' from Gl'fec
for July lo GVfiC before 12 o'clock , the ortlers
to buy at the decline proving more than
enough to absorb the offerings and re
awaken the earlier panicky feeling of the
Fhorts. The foreign cablet to the llo.ird of
Trade , giving Ihe close of the markets ,
quoted strong advances at Berlin and Paris ,
the foimer being given nt an advance
equivalent to 2Tf c per bu for Maj , 2'ic ' for
Bcplemb r , and the latter about 2'ic higher
for both the present month and the Sep
tember-December term These strong cable *
were given ns the reason for the second
bulge already icferred to , but as the hand
lers of cash wheat reported no demand and
nn abundance ot July wheat \vas for sale nt
< i ! < s and over , the market became weaker
than evi't , and Ihe prlc" brok" lower than
on the earlier dec-linos. Receipts at Minne
apolis and Uuluth were 231 ears , against
S0 > 3 n week ago , nnd2 \ cars on the cor
responding day of last yfir The primary
markets received 199.000 bu. , .against 22.OdO !
1m. a year ago , being the Ilrst for a long
time to fall below the volume of last year's
movement Imports of wheat and Hour from
Atlantic ports amounted to 233 000 bu , about
half of which was In Hour. July clobed nt
Corn was firm nnd In good demand at
ycFterdaj's closing price when Iradlng be
gan. It began to bulge very rapidly under
the Inllnenco of the opening slrcnsth In
wheat , but only continued strong when It
was thus encouraged. In Ihe nf let noon the
icellng was weak and prices very consider
ably lower lhan In Ihe morning July
wncd nt l'Jc and advanced to M'ic , bul
declined again to 49'ic ' quickly , but on an
other bulge In wheat ran up again to 50c
At the close tt touched 49o. The pi Ice of
cash corn for shipment was early In the
day said to bo within a trltle of n working
liasls for export.
Only a fair business -was transacted In
oats. The ten lency of the market was
weaker , Inllucnced by Indications of rain
nnd a good disposition to sell , principally
long oats The weakness In wheat and
corn extended Into oats , and lluctuatlons to
n great extent were rtilfd by those markets
Jlny sold at from ' > \a to 2i > " , ) c , clown to
from 2s"ic to LSVc , and closed at from
9 c to r4C lower. July iniigod at from 2'Jc
to 23'ic ' to 2S"c , resting at the latter price
The trading In provisions was rather
light , but prices Improved a little , and
rlosed 13c higher for July pork , Ge ? higher
for Julv lard , nnd the same.1 advance In
libs. Hog iccelpts wcro about l.OUO below
the CHtlmates miidp ycslerday , and for lo-
morrow only 10,000 are estimated Stocks

CATTliIl With only twenty-three loads
of cattle reported In the yards today there
w 're not enough of nny kind to make much
of a test of the market. Tlie supply of bief
stecra on sale was limited to about three
loads of natives nnd the same number of
wcsteins The latter were grain fed Otegon
steers of good quality. With so few fat
cattle here the market was naturally tt lit
tle stronger , and In most cases steers sold
lOc higher. Soms light 1,000-lb natl\es
brought $1.2 : , with a load of l.lO lb. nathcs
at $1 5.
The supply of cows nnd heifers consisted
principally of a few odds nnd ends , which

general freight .igcnt of the Unlun 1'aclllc
who was called for the purpose , a table
showing the gross tonnage from UOO to 1S94 ,
and the loss to the comptny during the year
1891. This was merclv Introduced to show
the ratio oC revenues.
John S. IJrady of McCord , Ilrady & Co.
wholesale grocers , was called. He stated he
was familiar with the sugar Industry In the
Missouri Valley The total tonnage which
c.iMIo to this section he testified was about
83,000 tons , He testified th.it about 21.00C
tons came to Omaha , or about one-third of
the ( whole tonnage of the tcrrltor ) between
SlotiK City and Omaha carne to Oimha and
Council Dhifls. He also stated that up to
last year the whole product of the sugar re-
flnerics In the state was sold In Omaha , but
last year some part of the product ,
was sold In Colorado and other western states.
Asked by the commission as to ctlrr com
modities , ha stated the original point for
rlco was Louisiana ; Japan rlco coming
through New York at the present time ; mo
lasses from Louisiana ; refined molasses from
Omaha , Da > enport. Besides sugar marly
all the foreign goods came by way of N'ew
York , coffees from Now York and Ualtlmore ,
cjnned gcotls from the east came principally
from Baltimore Asked by Judge Morrison
what recent changts had been made In rates ,
he stat'd there was an advance of G cents on
first class freight July 1 , 1S94 , Could not
say whether any advance liad occurred this
jear ; certainly not from Chicago Docs a
very little carload business In Nebraska. Mr.It
Brady Htatetl that a man could ship a c.arload
of freight from New Yorls to Omaha , reload
and ship to Kearney for the same rate as the
man who ships from New York to Kearney
direct. In less than carloads ho thought
there would ba a fractional Incr.ase. Mr
Guatln then took the witness and
on cross-examination sought to establish the
fact that the American sugcr refiners , otherc
wise the trust , through Its quotations , deterb
mined the point east , south or west where
suifir was to be bought. Tlila , th ? witness
stated , was not true The refiners 'made the
rite and Included the freight In that rate
which the Jobbers paid.
GUSTfN WAS HEADED OFF.
Then Mr. Gustin attempted to show through
a hook prepared by Mr Ilrady that tlrre was
a combination of dealers to hold up con
sumers. Mr. Brady remarked that the book
was prepared for ready reference an 1 was
up from the tariff of the railroad com
panies.
"You are not trying Mr. Brady , " remarked
Jmlgp Morrison "You are trying the rail
roads. "
" 1 want to show unholy combinations , "
remarked Mr. Gustln , "v hlch aic tapping the
life blood " And he didn't get any further
Judge Morrison showed his annojanco bj
"aylnpr "If you seek to change theto com
binations jou will have to apply to some
other tribunal. We me not heie for that
purpose "
Mr Gustln then explained that h did not
blame Mr Brady but the railroads for
permitting combinations to b > made
C. D. Woodward , wholesale grocer at Grand
Island , was then called to the stand. He
showed that Gland Island and Kearney cn-
Jojed the same rates on a multiplicity of
articles , but on sugar there was a difference
from the Pacific coast. He stated that sumr
took the rate to the Missouri river , phis the
local rate from the river to cither Kearn y
or Grand Island. Little was elicited from
the cross-examination by Mr Gustln beand
what the witness testified to In his direct
examination.
B 12. Bruce of n E. Bruce & Co. . whole
sale druggists , was called to show that on
one-third of the drug trade there was no
discrimination against Kearney and In favor
of Omaha. Mr. Gustln took him up on the
other two-thirds and It turned out there was
no discrimination there.
CROSBY DOGS SOME DEFINING.
George II. Crosby , general freight aRnt
of the Burlington company , was then sworn
Previous to exacting from the witness the
reason ? for his being called. General Solicitor J
Minderson called the attention of the com
mission to the- fact that 1 e coulil not obtain
a definition of "arbitrary" and "dlfferentl.il , "
and that some of the wltncsscj used the J
terms as synonymous , when they were clearly JV
not synonyrrous. that ho had calUd upon
the secretary of the commission for a defini 13
tion and that lie was not entirely clear aa
to Uio terms. Tor the purpose , therefore , of J
getting some fixity about the definitions he li
desired to call Mr Crosby and get him to
testify to certain railroad terms
Judge Morrison thought that In the next
case tried the terms would bo used inter Ai
changeably and that no absolute rule could
be laid down Mr. Manderson. however , ex
acted from Mr. Croiby the following defini
tions of widely used terms in railroading-
1 A through terminal ratp Is ono es
tablished liitween terminal stations only at ShI
the temlnl of continuous lines ami ita
most common use is with reference to 8.1
coast points.
2. A terminal rate Is one from any sta
tion on a line to one of Its termini.
2. A through rate Is one from one
starting1 point to another point that
la the destlnatlon'of freight and Is pener-
ally applied when the destination is be
yond the terminus of the railroad originally
iccelvInK thp freight
4 A local rate la one established between
stations on th- same line ot railroad.
An arbitral y rate Is one absolutely llxed \1J.
by the dictation of one rallioad having
some cxc ntionnl condition of tracl : or
transportation like brldau or boat transfer
or more advantageous line , and N usually
taken out in the llrft lintancp for payment
to said railroad before any division of the
Yc
rate tecelveil among the continuous lln-s
participating1 In the carriage.
G A differential rate Is one established th
either aihltiarlly or by agreement , Blvlnn ca.
to n elation or locality a. c-ilaln llxed re. 37
ductlon or an Increase or decrease on a
Riven rale and may be cither a llxcd Yc
amount or percentage. ( H
These definitions , Mr. Manderson remarked , on
were offered to invite criticism or revlovv on
the part of the cotmnisiion , and therefore
they became a part of the testimony In the
case ,
LOSING MONEY ON COAL.
Mr Greene , assistant general solicitor of tlie
Burlington , thin , began the examination cf by
Mr Crosby on coal rates with a view of
showing that the Burlington could not meet
tha Union Pacific rste at Kearney If It so
desired , Mr. Gustln's theory being that at If
the Burlington quoted low rates to certain
paints the Union Poclfio ought to b. In duty
bound to make the sams rates. Mr. Crosby
Elated the present rates were the lowest a
ever made by railroads and that the roads all
were losing money In the transportation ol
coal. Ha stated that as Nebraska had no
local coal interests It was the business of
railroads to glvo the citizens as cheap coal
ai possible , and as Sheridan coal was a now
coal on the market , It was thought best to
give the people the b.nellt ot low rate * on
fuel.

He testified that on a readjustment of rat ° s
to Kearney tt prayed for every railroad In
N'ebriski would bltally affecttd and that
the MUsourl river rate would pr obi lily obtain

aimed to accomplish As far the tran'oontl-

It made by other lines.
On crt > 99-t.inilnatlon Mr. Oiutln offered to
Miow that the Missouri , Kansns A Texas
tirlff t , cffpothe In October , ISM ! , ntade a rata
for Kturney different from that nuw given
Kearney on fourth class by the Burlington.
Mr Crifby replied that his road was not
paity to the tariff and the roads named as
parties to lit * tariff did not touch Kearney.
Mr. Crosby il-o said tint the tariff was abso
lutely unreliable and should nol bo considered.
Adjourned until 2 o'clock.
GUSTIN TKLLS KUAUNEY'9 WANTS.
J. A. ( Justin , who lias largely figured before -
fore the Interstate Comtnerco commission
In times past , and who has championed the
cause of Kcarno > In fcoason and out of sea
son , allrglns all sorts of discriminations
ncalnit his cltj by tlie tallroads , began the
afternoan session of thu commission yoslcr-
duy by calling Pi eight Commlcsloncr John 13.
Ult of the Commercial club to show over
charges on the part of the rnllroids Old
history was nltempted to bo Introduced
through the witness , but the commission
held Mr. ( Justin down to the question ot
present or past rates , and remarked that If
ho had any evidence In the bool.s ho wanted
to get In ho could Indicate such evidence
and the commission would look It up.
Mr. titistln thru took the stand and for
mulated the desires of Kearney as to In and
out rates , offering In evidence- long scries
of tariffs , coloring n multiplicity of subjects
wherein Kearney feels Itself discriminated
against.
_ "This Is hardly rebuttal testimony , " said
General Mumlerson , "and It Is only hindering
the testimony for which we lm\o to pay. "
"Novor mind. " replied Mr. Oustln , "I am
able to pay my share of the cxpenso "
"Well , I am not , " said Mr. Manderson , "If
we expect to pay dividends. "
" 1 have no doubt you will try to get out
of paying > our share ot the expense , " re
sponded Mr. Gustln.
After receiving In evidence proceedings ns
to the union depot and the cost of maintain
ing that structure , the commission adjourned.
Messrs Morrison and Vrnzoy go to Kansas
City tonight to take up seieral cases to
morrow. Colonel Morrison said that there
were several cases pending , one brought by
Wichita against the railroads of the south ,
declaring n discrimination against Wichita
In favor of Kansas City. In this case Colonel
Morrison thought thcro might be something
Interesting , much the same conditions obtain
ing against Wichita ns the stockmen of
South Omaha allege obtain against that
city and In fa\or of Kansas City.
Tha Cot ; unit tlio t'nt.
An artist In the
Thlladelphli Record tells a
story of a dog and a cat. The two grew up
together and have always been the grcitest
of chums. A short time ago the cat pre
sented the family with n number of kittens ,
and the dog evinced the liveliest Interest
In ' the new arrivals. Several days ago , after
the manner peculiar to cats , the mother took
It Into her head to mo\e her family. Ono by
one she tenderly carried the kittens to their
now homo , the dogtrotting by her side , his
cjes wide open with wonJer. Finally the last
kitten ' was reached. Mrs. Pussy took It In
her ' mouth and was about to start off with
It when Mr. Dog was suddenly seized with
the Idea that he was lacking In gallantry.
Carefully noting the manner In which the
cat ; cirrled her offspring , he seized the mother
by : the back of the neck In the same manner ,
and the- strange locking trio made- the trip
tc the new quarters In safety.

Hlslng from the low divan where she had

The legal profession was the last of three
so-called learned professions to bo opened to
women In America , not bccauso of reluc
tance on the part of the courts , but because
women did not so easily apply for admlss.on.
There are now not less than cloven law
schools open to women , and twenty-five
states and territories admit women to tlio
bar. There are over 200 women lawyers In
\mcrlca , nine of whom are admitted to
practice before the supreme court of the
United States.
A Slilji for a Monument.
The most remarkable monument that has
ever been erected over a grave In the United
States or In any other 2'vlllzed country ,
perhaps , Is the reproduction of an old-time
whaling vessel , which Is to be seen In ono
nf tha Boston cemeteries. It Is a fine
specimen of the shipbuilder's art , finished
In Iron and clouded marble , and marks the
last resting place of n departed sea captain.
