CHICAGO , Mny 15. The chinch bus nnd
the hMslan fly had another Inning In the
wheat rnurkd today , scaring shorts ) nnd
ndvnnclng the July price 2c. July corn
gained Uc , July ontn Uo nn < l provisions
made advances , nil In sympathy with
\vhent.
Wheat marie n somewhat nlmllar ntnrt to
that on the day before. It opened wenli.
with considerable pressure to sell , nt from
> /4c to c below the previous day's closing
price , ur.t ! almost Immediately thereafter a
general deslra to buy quickly succeeded the
contrary Impulse nt the opening. The ad
vance , which started within halt a mlnuti
of the opening , carried the price up from
G5e for July , nt which n few sales were
made , to' C0X.rand It fluctuated for half
nn hour t"4 o between CO'/iC to CS'.tc.
After that tliw buying was more general ,
nnd very soor. It became ulmost universal
until the prlci ! hnd been advanced with t
whirl to G75 c , which figure It reached In
llttlo less than an hour from the opening.
The weather was reassuring , the general
temperature being low enough to suggest
death to Infecti without being severe
enough to do more tlmn check n too rank
growth of restitution. The foreign markets ,
while firm , showed n rc'.uctar.ue In follow.
Ing tlie com so of other things here , but
thtro were numerous reportH of damage to
crops by frost , chinch bug and hessliin Hies ,
nnd Khorts were forced to cover. It was
said that Pnrdrldge covered a big line. The
dally ptntlstlcal report was not of nn ex
ceptional character. The northwestern re
ceipts were smaller than a year ngo , but
the total ot the primary receipts were
larger. Mlnnenpolls-Duluth receipts , 122
cars , compared with 272 on the correspond
ing day of the year before. Primary rmir-
ket receipts altogether were 2SO.OOO bu. ,
ngalnst only ICZ.OOO bu. on the corresponding
day of last week and 233,000 on the same tiny
the year before , Export clearances of
wheat nnd flour from Atlantic ports
amounted to 3OT.OOO bu. , 172,000 bu. of which
wan In the shape of wheat. Ono matter
which may develop Into something sensa
tional , Bhould It receive further confirma
tion , wan pet haps not generally known In
the pit during the session. Mllmlne , Hod
man & Co. of New York wired their house
here thnt they had received a dispatch from
n. reliable firm In London to a good New
York house saying there were fears of dam-
nio from drouth being expressed from
Odcs.'n. Kansas City wired that wheat
was bringing 75o per bu. there. The crowd
here did not dare sell any wheat short and
every time they bought ft they had to ad
vance their previous bids. July advanced
to GSVic nnd GSVJc , and C8o was the trading
price nt the close.
Corn acted heavy , nnd hut for the great
ritrcngth In the wheat market It looked as
If It might have declined. In consequence
of the advance of 2c In wheat , however ,
corn gained from 'Ac to ? c. The receipts
were much too heavy for bullish enthu
siasm , 417 cars being the day's rrcclptu ,
July optned nt from r > l ic to fii'.tc. droppe
to Cl'/iP , advanced nfter that to SlOic. de

ceipts for tomorrow to f > lc , nnd rose to
Sl'/nO near the close. In sympathy with
wheat , resting nt from Kl e to 5U < ic.
In onts business was very active , but n
heavy feeling exlfted throughout. There
WHS a weaker feeling In the cash market
nnd the snmo wns extended Into the specu
lative ciowd. Towards the close prices
were firmed ur > slightly , but It was nil In
sympathy with wheat and corn. June
started nt 2SHc. sold nt from 28c to 28Vc , up
to from 28 jc to 2SV4c. nnd closed at 28c
bid. September sold nt from 2SUe to 28'/ic

1'rovlslona opened weak on the liberal run
of Hogs nnd pciually large receipts expected
tomorrow. The dny'n run wns 32,000 bend.
A preliminary decline of about VAc was
succeeded by nn advance of 32Hc from the
lowest point In pork nnd nt the close It
wns back to nbout 15e advance for the day.
Lard shared In the better buying of pork
only to the extent thnt there were buyers nt

NEW YORK , May 16. Tha share speculation
today was In marked contrast to the trade In
yesterday's cession. At the opening the market
was somewhat Irregular , but a sharp buying
movement was quickly developed during the
test of the day , a srong- : tone prevailing , prices
moving upward steadily to the closing ; The
final dealings were notably buoyant and the last
sales , with a few unlmnottnnt changes , were
made at an advance on yesterday's final figures
nmglmr up tu 9 per cent , the Utter In Great
Novthcm pre.'e : red. Tl e Influences which broi-c'.t
about tha cha.igt ) of tuna In tha market urre
the buying heie for the foreign account uml the
successful negotiations In Umilun by J , I'lerpont
Morgan for the rale of 45.000 shares of New
York Central at an unnamed price , but which
must have been below par. The stock sold was
treasury stock. The l iance left In the treasury
of the company when the capital stock was In-
created to lloou ,000 , under the resolution author-
lilng Its Issue , could not U * disposed of except at
100 tr over , Tlie um reallied Is to be usfd for
construction and Improvement purposes. The
street accepted the sale as a mark of renewed
confidence In American securities , and the other
leadlnir stocks. Including the rest of the Vander-
bllt gii > up. the granger * , the coalers and several
of the Industrials , came Into heavy demand and
by degrrsa must of the list took part In the ap
preciation In value. In the London market , too.
them wns a sympathetic movement In American * ,
which had opened rather heavy , and this fact
served to help the speculation here , which , of
late , has been lookingabroad for much of Its
support.
Great Northern , which closed at IS ] bid last
night , sold up to 132 on the reiort that 1'resldrnt
Hill had secured the ocntrul of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and would use It as a feeder ot
the Great Northern. This stock wa * quoted at
100 on January 20. At the cloea roost of the
active list fhowed advances , the hlsrhrst tleure
being tVi per cent \Velli-Farno. . The trad

portant rise In New Yotk Central , on reports
Hint a syndicate , headed by Morgan , had taken
over the balance of 6,000,000 shares. Prices
rl < , td nt the best. Ontnrlcs were boughl by
New Yorktrs. The other markets recovered In
Miit > ftlhy with Americans. There was n panicky
feeling In cupper on the break down of the
comblnalioii , which wns enllrcly due to the
American prtxlucers refusing at the lost moment
to sign the contract. The report thnt the huro-
pean producers were not absolutely unanimous
about the restriction Is untrue. Inasmuch ns the
Inlllathe In the combination came to America.
The tt'ftisnl nt the last moment by the Ameri
can products ! had a bad effect.

THURSDAY , Mny 1C.
There wns n light run of cattle todny , a
pretty good supply of hogs , nnd no sheep.
In nil ninety-seven cnrs of stock nrrlved ,
bringing the supply BO fnr this week up
to 3,015 cattle , 17,770 hogs nnd 1,729 sheep.
This Is a decrease of nearly 1,000 cattle ns
compared with last week , but nn Increase
of over 8,000 hogs nnd 800 sheep.
The supply of cattle -was light as to qunn-
tlty nnd nothing extra as to quality. Ex
clusive of several lends of southwestern cat
tle that local killers bought at Kansas City
Wednesday nnd received today , the offerings
were not over 430 head. Instead of the light
receipts stimulating the demand , buyers np.
penred , If possible , more Indifferent nnd
bearish than on Wednesday. Eastern re
ports were not particularly encouraging and
sellers went up against n dull , mean trade.
It took considerable coaxing to get n bid ,
and , while the market could hardly be
called materially lower , the general tone
wns decidedly wenR , and cattle sold any
where from 2oo to BOc lower than a week
ngo.
ngo.The market for butchers' nnd canners'
stock was all right. Possibly n third of the
entire olferlngs came under this head , and
with the usual nctlve demand from local
packer * , trade was brisk nnd prices ns a
rule full strong. There was a good call for
veal calves and the more desirable offerings
In this line commanded stronger prices.
Hulls , oxen nnd stags brought Just about
steady figures.
There was no Increase In the supply of
stock nnd feeding- cattle todny. and appar
ently no let up In the demand. Sellers found
little difficulty In deposing of the rlpht kind
of cattle at good , strong prices. Good stack
ers are In particularly urgent demand nnd
prices are comparatively high. Good to
choice feeders nre quotable at J3.33fiil.OO ( ;
fair to good , $3.00ff3.S3 , and common grades
from $3.00 down. Representative sales :
DRESSED HEEF.
HOGS The Improvement both In the quantity
nnd quality of the receipts of hogs thin week
hns been ns marked us It .has been gratifying.
Receipts todny were 1.000 heavier than Wednes
day , and nearly three timed as heavy us a week
ngo. The general quality was als > better nml
the weights heavier tiian for e\ernl weeks. Husl-
ness opened out slow an'd weak , wllh the feeling
on all sides bearish nnd buyers having little
trouble In getting IheU hoga at a flat 60 decline.
Fair to fancy heavy and medium weight hogs
sold at from J4.25 up to J4.40 , and poor to choice
light nnd light mixed 'loan's ' nt from 14 to JI.30.
Later reports from Chicago , however , caused
general buyingnnd Jho close of the market
wns nctlve nt full "Wednesday's quotations , nn
early clearance being'mnde. . The quality was
the main consideration ! with buyers again today

An Eiirly Resident of Omuhn Compliments
The 31 ay Dujr lire.
LOS ANGELES , Cal. , May 12. To the
Editor of The Eee : I was very much Inter
ested In your May day Issue of Tlie Omaha
Dally Dee , which some one had the kindness
to send me. Whilst reading It reminiscences
of those early years in the history of Omaha
came flocking In upon my memory like
pigeons to their nestlnp ; place at evening
time. Their names simply , even If they had
not written such Interesting letters , would
have recalled most pleasant memories. Dut
their letters gave us most vivid pictures of
those early days. Mrs. Harriet E. Miller.
Mrs. E. P. Evans , Mrs. A. J. Popphton , Mrs.
Clara Kellom Adams and Mrs. M. W. Gaylord -
lord take us backto the very earliest scenes
In the history of Omaha. What changes and
Improvements they have witnessed ! Mrs.
Qaylord , the wife of the first Congregational
minister of Omaha , Is now , It ree-nis - , almost
a neighbor ( at Hedlands ) , and Airs. Clara
Kellom Adams still nearer , both en
joying the mild and llfe-lnvlgoratlng cli
mate of this world-uneqtialed southern Cali
fornia. Mrs. J. H. Kellom , th ? mother of
Mrs. Adams , we hear from and see somewhat
frequently. But Omaha Is well represented
In and about Los Angeles. I remember , Mr.
Editor , when you and your brother first came
to Omaha , It was then but a little hamlet
almost In Its natural state compared with the
present. Your success In originating and
building up The Omaha Dee has been quite
phenomenal , and especially when we remem
ber your old competitors , under the leadership
of such able men aa Dr. George L. Miller and
St. A. D. Dalcombe , verily. What improve
ments time has wrought ! One- other name
I saw In your May day Issue 'which recalled
a family of the earliest pioneers. This young
lady and her sisters were little girls In the
Sunday school In my Omaha days. She se-ms
to be quite a traveler. I think It was only
about a year ago that I saw her In Los An
geles , and now from her Interesting letter 1
see she has just bein up to visit the Great
Shoshone Falls In the far north. Judging
from her attractive letter , I w&uld affirm thai
the 'wonders of nature have a great fastnatlon
for Miss Ella Drackln.
I suppose Rev. Mr. Kuhns Is still a resident
of Omaha ; at Uast I had heard that he came
back from the south and was making your
city his home. He was the first , or among
the first of the Lutheran ministers In Omaha.
The great majority of those early settlers
are now gathered on the other shore. Only a
few remain of those who were In Omaha from
1854 to 1864. They have answered to the
great roll call beyond , and eoon we shall all
hear that call , and may God grant that In
our coming thither we may all receive a
blessed salvation from the Great Captain.

There Is now a sure prorpcct that tlm
Wyoming & Great Northern railway will be
'milt this cummer from Grand Junction , Colo. ,
to Green Itlver , In this state , says the Chey
enne Tribune. President Carpenter has Just
arrived ( rum the cast , and ho Is greatly con
fident of the success of the now line , which
lie says Is progressing finely , nml the funds
will bo secured to continue the work of con
struction this summer , for a distance of sixty
miles at least. The bonds of the company
liaru been pl.iced at $3,000,000 , and the money
Is In the treasury for Immediate use. . There
Is elgnltlcance In this , The placing of so
largo an amount of bonds of a far western
railway Is good evidence of returning con
fidence In western Investments. It Is a sug
gestion that money can be obtained for other
enterprises. It Is a premise of business and
Industrial revival. There has never been any
real scarcity of money In the country. That
grateful commodity lias always existed In
ample abundance. The trouble has been that
amid the financial wreckage and uncertainty
Its holders have been afraid to risk It In
business or In Industrial enterprises. The
banks have feared to loan as In ordinary
times , for fear of sudden demands from ap
prehensive or alarmed depositors. As the
holders of money regain the confidence to
put It out again better times will come.
Hence there Is a peculiar meaning In every
Investment In railroads , In mines , In manu
factures , or In trade that Is made. It Is
evidence of the Improving conditions that
bring bid : confidence.
The building of the projected railroad In
the western part of. Wyoming will have a
reassuring effect. It will Improve the Indus
trial and other business conditions. It will
give employment to labor. It will create
a market for material. It will start trade
somewhat. It will put more money In circu
lation , and will make the- securing of money
for tto next enterprise In that locality a
llttlo more easy. The construction of this
road will also stimulate the development of
the great and various resources of western
Wyoming- and Colorado.
FOIITUNE IN NUGGETS.
The report of the finding of a large quan
tity of gold nuggMs by a number of miners
while at work on the Sturglll bar , Idaho , has
aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among
those who have always had unbounded faith
In the richness of bars along the old course
of Snake river , says the Portland Oregonlan.
Sturglll bar Is located ten miles above the
mouth of Powder river , on the Idaho ndo ! of
the Snake , and was originally owned by a
man named Perkins , who constructed the
Sparta ditch , In Union county. The bar has
been worked for years , and a large quantity
of gold tak-n out , but not until the present
season did the miners get Into the river so
early.
The finding of the nuggets has been fully
confirmed by a letter received In Portland
from Mr. J. A. Wright of Sparta , who writes
that a peck or more of nuggets were picked
up by the men at work. Only the nuggets
wore taken , and as much more coarse gold
Is said to be lying on the bedrock , which will
be taken out when a clean-up of the sluices
IB made.
From rllable Information received by
courier says the Sparta correspondent of the
Baker City Democrat , "Sturglll bar" on
Snake river , has for more than a quarter of
a century been an annual producer of gold In
paying quantities , and the opinion has pre
vailed that som. . ? day some one would strike
the coarse gold channel and take out gold by
the hatful. The breast of the pay dirt , where
two hydraulics have been working day and
night , was ninety feet deep. Ths other day a
large cave took placeat the upper end of the
diggings , where Captain Ed Hoblnett was In
charge of the nozzle , and as soon as the dirt
that had fallen was washed away , Captain
Roblnftt discovered that the rim of the bed
rock rose up In front of him thirty feet high.
As day was breaking he made an examination
of the bedrock , and Imagine hla surprise as
he saw at every point nuggets of all shapes
and sizes. He called the other men , and
together they soon filled the two-quart dinner
pall and proceeded to the house of Messrs.
Reed and Beezley , the owners. Careful ex
amination has been made of the channel ex
posed , and conservative estimates place the
value of the coarse gold actually In sight at
many thousand dollars , and the gold already
picked up at $11,500. Everybody In this s c-
tlon Is now looking for high bars and coarse
gold channels on Snake river.
IN DIG LUCK.
Big strikes are chronicled almost every day
In camp and occasionally a very big find Is
heralded to the world from the greatest gold
camp on earth. Bull hill has Its share of
good things , but In the strike made on the
Archer lease on the Lucky Guss , the famous
hill has eclipsed Itself. About four months
ago four Pueblo tenderfe-et secured a lease
on the west end of the Lucky Guss , and as
they had faith In the ground they went to
work with a will and spent several thousand
dollars delving In the ground for an ore
chute , says the Cripple Crc = k Times. A
roomy shaft house was built , which was
equipped with a brand new hoisting plant.
A vein was found , but the quartz was found
to be barren , and after sinking to a depth
of 153 feet , a drift was started along th > vein
to the north , and after going ten feet from
the shaft the long-looked-for ore chute was
found. It has been entered fifteen feet and at
least twenty-five tons of pay ore Is piled up
In the ore bins ready for shipment. The
vein Is known to be at least seven feet wide ,
as the hanging wall la nowhere In sight.
Through the center of the chute there Is a
streak fourteen Inches wide , and the lowest
assay on It went $400 and the highest $3COO.
It will easily run $1,000 per ton In carload
lots. The balance of the big vein assays
from $50 to $120 per ton without sorting.
Th fortunate lessees are Thomas Crow , T.
J. Brown , W. D , Jones and John Thomas , all
officials of the steel works of Pueblo.
GREEN RIVER PLACERS.
n. A. Sparr , an old-timer and well known
mining operator of Utah , has Just returned
fro a month's trip to Upper Green river to
Inspect the gold deposits of that country , says
the Salt Lake Tribune. He states that the
whole country north from Green River City ,
on the Union Pacific railroad , Is a great wash
fifty miles wide and over 400 mlle-3 long , made
by a glacier-flow years ago , as solid Ice can
be found at a depth of twenty feet on most
of the placer ground. Gold can bo found any
where end everywhere In an ! along this wash.
The gold Is fine , but clean and bright , and
easily saved with proper machines. The
ground Is spotted , as by testing from Plney
up the river from twenty to 300 colors to the
pan could bo obtained.
The country Is covered with grass , and elk ,
deer , antelope , sage hens and rabblta abound
and there are creeks In all directions.
There are about sixty men on Upper Green
river , or what la called Beaver Creek falls ,
an ! a few farther up at Fall River basin ,
Jackson Hole an 31 on the rim of the Teton
basin , prospecting. Good reports came from
there when Jlr. Spear left for home. He says
there la no quartz In the hllU , as the whole
country on both sides of the great wash Is
sandstone and conglomerate , but In the wash
can bo found onyx , quartz , flint , granite and
slate that are polished smooth and have come
a long distance. The gold Is found near and
under the sagebrush ani gra.is roots and along
the edges of the creeks and rivers , close down
to the water's edge. With the gold Is black
and ruby rand , and sometimes a green sand
appears. No doubt some good paying de
posits will be found farther up when the
snow la off and the ground uncovered. Tt Is
a wild country , but U lovely during the
months of July , August and September. The
route from Evanston via Opal , on the Oregon
Short Line , up and through thin country to
the great National Park during the months
of Juno , July and August , would be the finest
trip a person could take.
PRODUCTION OF OLIVE OIL.
In the future of thl9 tate the ollvo oil In
dustry bids fair to bo an Important means of
profit to ft very laifis number cl people , says
the S.in I'rancltCA Call. Many new ollvs
orchards nro belli ) ; planted. Ten yours1 Ago
there wsi hardly uny ollvo oil nuilo In th *
ktato. Today II la being mndo In every fruit *
growing country. Nearly all the oil at pres
ent Is prcxeJ by comparatively prlmltlvd
mothol9 and nt places of tiroJudlon. Only a
limited quantity Is exported , as the home con
sumption has thus far been equal to the anpi
ply. In fact , ollvo oil U not yet made hero lu
commercial qunntlUiM.
L. P. Rlxford , who hat had considerable ex >
porlenco In ollvo growing In Sonoma county ,
states that at the lowest estimate from ( GO
to $100 an acre can bo inndo off nn ollvo
orchard. A large quantity of co-called ollvo
oil Is Imported lutu this country. It Is perti
nent here to mention tl.o fnct Unit In Italy
there Is an enormous market for Amcrlcr.ii
cottonwool oil. This Is mixed with ollvo oil
md shipped back to tliU country as "genuine"
olho oil. No adulteration-Ij practiced In
California , and theollvo ull made hero can
bo depended on as the pure article.
Ollvo trc-es pay ix profit In this country nt
the early age of four years , while In Huropt
the time Is extended n couple of years. The
ollvo tree will thrive wherever the temporn-
turo docs not go us low as ten degrees .tbovo
zero.
It was the opinion of ( several orclianlUts
spoken to on this subject that the final out
come of the ollvo oil Industry will bo that
the olive growers will eoll their pick to big
manufacturers , who will cngaga exclusively lu
this ollvo oil Industiy. Only recently the
agent of n London supply house Informed ,
Secretary Fllchor of the State Hoard of Trade
that ho could find a market In England for
the ollvo oil of California , us wealthy fainllleo
would gracefully pay higher prices for the
pure article , while It Is notorious that the
European olive oil Is nearly all adulterated.
TOO MANY HORSES.
There are two or three men hunting for a
few first class work horses for use In hauling ;
ore In the Trail creek nml other mining- dis
tricts , writes n Colfax correspondent to the
Spokane Spokesman-Review. As horses tire
plentiful and there Is llttlo or no competition ,
they are having no trouble In finding what
they want , but are taking some time In order
to get them as cheaply as possible. Horses
weighing from 1,300 to 1,450 seem to be the
most desirable. They must be well built , un
blemished , sound , well broken and good ,
pullers. Horses of this description are being
picked up at prices ranging from $50 to $75.
A few years ago such animals brought from
$125 to $150 and were shipped to eastern
markets from this country by the hundred.
Hut for the last two years all outside mar
kets have been effectually closed. Probably
not more than 150 or 20D horses have been
shipped from the county In the last eighteen
months , and some of them have been brought
back on account of not being able to find a
market. Meanwhile the stock on hand has
been rapidly Increasing , until there are thou
sands of horses throughout the eastern part
of the state that are not worth feeding.
Horses that arc not worth feeding and
taking care of , and few are worth that , can
bo purchased now for almost any price.
Cayuscs are so near worthless than even the
assessor does not ask how many a man has ,
not deeming them worthy of assessment aa
property.
Horses weighing from 700 to 1,000 pounds
can ho bought by the hundred at prices
ranging from $1 to $5 , and "broke" saddle ,
horses are offered at from $3 to $10 and find
no buyers.
A suggestion that Is receiving considerable
attention here , as elsewhere , Is the feeding-
of horseflesh to hogs. While It would reason
ably seem that for human consumption
horse meat would bo much cleaner and more
desirable In every way than hog meat , as
long as the consumers retain their present
Ideas the transfer of the former Into the
latter will bo the only means of fitting It
for table use.
WHEAT COXK IX Till ! SOUTHWEST
Kiinn.in City IMIIIui- < Compelled to Ship
( .ruin from Chicago.
KANSAS CITY , May 1C. Wheat sold In
Kansas City today at 75 cents a bushel , an
advance of nearly 30 cents fram the extremely
low price reached last fall. So scarce has
wheat become In the southwest and so high
have prices gotten that wheat was bought In
Chicago today for shipment to this city. A
special ralo of 13 % cents a hundred weight
has been made for the purpose , and It Is ex
pected that a good deal of wheat will bo
brought hero from Chicago. The wheat sup
ply of the southwest has become almost
wholly exhausted and crop prospects are so
poor that the few who possess wheat are dls-
posed to hold to It. There Is about 300,000
bushels In Kansas City elevators , but very
llttlo of U Is for sale at any price. Chicago
has over 20,000,000 bushels In store and mills
all over the central west an3 southwest hava
been compelled to go to that city for supplies ,
doubtless buying back In some cases the very
wheat which was shipped to Chicago from
their own localltlea last fall when wheat was >
cheap. The nosslblllty of shipping wheat
from Chicago to Kansas City has been talked
of for some time past. It has now bccomo
an actual occurrence and It Is a thing which
never before happened since Kansas began to
raise wheat.

LARAMIE , Wyo. , May 16. Two prisoner *
escaped from the penitentiary through a tun

In their cell beds and thus successfully
blinded the guard until the hole In the out
