CHICAGO , Mny 10. The frost
scare and Kriiurul buying fever sent Bruin
prices pkywnrd today , but after sensational
advance : ) the markets ull broke moderately ,
closing nbout mldxvny In-twcen the top and
bottom ( Inures uf the day. The net result
for the day left whenl since thu close Sat
urday Hits higher , corn * c higher , and oats
unchanged.
The closing slump In wheat was occglor-
Rted by n stile of CO.W ) hti. of May wheat ,
which hud to bo ofTurcd down to I'.lo under
the July prices before a buyer V.UB found
for It. Provisions followed grain , cluslng at
Bood advances ) . The freezing weather Hlnce
Saturday gave whent Its opening push. The
start was most confuting and Irregular.
Urokcrji V.llilti a few feet of euch other
were buying jind selling wheat simultane
ously at 72c and T-/jC ' for July. In less than
five minutes It hud risen to 73'no ' In another
live minutes It wan down again to 724c ! , and
In another live inlinJ.es more It lia'l jumped
ne.'lln to 73V. The Msnal oervlcu Issued a
bulletin about the tlmu of the opening
which did not tend to booth the mind * of
the shorts. It rrpoited killing fio-ta on Sun
day night In Wisconsin , Michigan. Dakota
and N < b aska nn 1 prcdlctel f > r tonight tro-t
In North mid South U.iltutti , .Minnesota ,
Iowa , Kansas , Ntbnisku and Wisconsin.
The foreign markets were but slightly ap
preciative of the bullish state of altalrH till
ing IKiv. Llvetpool early cables reported
an mlvnrict- only Id per cental , with one-
half of that lost before the market closed ,
according to a private dispatch. The expec
tation of heavy Ituaslan shipments was
given by the Llveipool cables as reason for
ther ! lack of sympahty with the advance
here. The I'arls imiiket went Its own way
without the slightest regard to the gteut
Blrenglh displayed here , ( lour and wheat
being both quoted lower by from 10 to 20
centimes. Alter the fluctuations recorded
above the in Ice bobbed up and down half
u dozen times between 73o and 7lVuc : , but got
out of that rut a quarter past 11 o'clock
and took u jump to 71 lie. Minneapolis wired
that telegrams were pouring In there which
described the spring wheat as having been
cut to llu ; ground by tin ; front over the
greater part of Its area , and Bt. Louis wired
that there were more country men on their
exchange today than they had seen in a
year , and that they were all loaded with
crop damage reports , and , added the sender
of that report , "loaded with long wheat. "
Perhaps ns Important a matter as the very
poor outlook for domestic crops was the
news conveyed In a special cablegram from
Liverpool that the reports concerning the
Itusslan crop are unfavorable. Minneapolis
nnd Uuluth received today 17C ! cars , against
320 a year ago. The- Atlantic seaboard clear
ances amounted to 410,000 bu. Blnce Saturday ,
of which 302.000 bu. was In raw grain. Not
the least of the long list of bullish Inllu-
cnces was the visible supply decrease , which
amounted to 3,139,000 bu. . the quantity on
ocean passage decreased 320,000 bu. , and the
Argentine shipments for thu week were
reduced to l.K'.OOO bu. Another mat
ter of great significance was that be
tween Saturday morning and 9 n. in. to
day the rail shipments of wheat from Chicago
cage amounted to 213,000 bu. With such an
accumulation of radically bullish news It It ,
not surprising that In the latter part of
the session the price rose to 71c. In the
last live minutes of the session the com
plexion of the market was changed com
pletely. So many telegrams were being re
ceived from St. Louis , Toledo and the north
west , stating that the reports of damage
wore either greatly exaggerated or entirely
false , that people having a good profit In
long wheat thought best to snatch It. So
many made up their minds to do the same
thing at tin ; same time that the market slid
from under them so quickly that from 74ic
It went down to 73c like lead from a shot
tower , and the closing price was 73 < , fcc.
The corn market was as much torn up
and nervous as wheat. The frost was of
course the motive In corn also. That the
trade In the end came to the conclusion that
the damage from the frost was being taken
too seriously Is observable In the manner
of the market's closing , July , which closed
Saturday at K3'.jc ' , opened this morning nt
from 5lo to Gl'.ic , and almost Instantly there
after It brought 5Tc. It had another quick
change of n i different kind. It dropped back
to' 6lc , nnd even to t > 3'ic later , but ngaln
recovered to Me , and kept touching that
and dropping back lie In rapid succession
for a considerable portion of the day. It
was at Kc near the close , when wheat be
gan to show the white feather , and It de
clined In about four minutes from lil'so to
o3V c , closing at the latter price. The re
ceipts for today were KJO cms. and for to
morrow 9' * ) cars are expected. The latter
fact was one of the hardest things the bulls
encountered , but It was made known when
other Influences of a bullish character were
nt work , It was not lost sight of , however ,
when wheat began to crumble away. The
Uvcrpool market was firm nnd Hid higher.
The visible supply decreased 411,000 bu. ,
against C17.000 bu. a year ago.
A very nervous nnd unsettled market was
experienced by the oats traders. Prices
were following the movements of wheat and
corn very closely and showed little Inde
pendence Had reports of crops helped to
create a little strength , aside from that
influenced by the fluctuations of the larger
markets , Longs sold out freely on the ad
vance nnd their offerings were readily con
sumed by shorts nnd country orders. Local
parties bought and sold as well. The early
advance carried prices up from -c to % c
above Saturday's closing prices , nnd the de
cline brought them back to or within a very
small fraction of the same.
The provision market started strong at
lOc per bbl. advance for pork , and 7 > , Ac
per 100 Ibs. for lard and ribs. The hog mar
ket was quoted firm nnd the advance In
wheat and corn gave provisions their send-
off. At the close the market was well In
hand , nnd did not break so badly as did
wheat and corn. There was quite a reac
tion , however , from the top prices of the
day. July pork opened nt J12.55 , rose to
J13 , and closed nt J12.S214. July lard from
tG.M reacted to JC.SO , rose to $7 , nnd closed
at J8.90. Illbs from JG.40 nt the start ad
vanced to JS.55 nnd closed at JC.45. Hoc
receipts were 34,000 head.
The receipts for tomorrow are estimated
us follows ; Wheat , CS cars ; corn , 900 cars-
oats , 6SO cars ; hogs , 22.000 head.
Freights BOW ! nt IVSc for wheat , 1'Cc for

Ni\V YORK , May 20. The week opened on the

n London and under brisk selling , both for the
lome nnd foreign accounts. Prices declined
luring the first llfleen minute * . Northern 1'a
clllc made the heaviest loss , 2 per cent. The
extreme depression therein was due to the circu
lation of reports that the reorganization plan
would call for heavy assc . tnt.'nls on both the
referred and common stucks. In the rest of the
lut the reaction did not exceed 1 per cent. In

The Kvenlng Post's London cablegram Fays :
The stock markets were Idle today. The B tle-
ment will begin Wednesday. Americans opened
dull and below the parity. Northern I'aclllc wns
especially Hat. A general recovery followed mid
thu chwlng was llrm. There were small , Irreg
ular changes on the tnlance. The reaction of
Sjtuid.iy was partly due to a bearish article In
the Statist. A fuither reaction Is expected , but
no Flump. The glut of money Is more pro
nounced than ever , < ind this should facilitate
Bcttlement. Arrangements for further Issues of
fresh bonds by American railroads are expected
hero. The better claw * will do well. Rothschilds
has ceased buying gold , for the momejit , at least.

MONDAY , May CO.
There wns n very light run of cattle today ,
. decrease of about too head ns compared
, 'ltli last Monday , and a fair run of hogs ,
n Increase of more than GOO head ns com-
nred with n week ago.
The cattle market wns n very peculiar and
nsatlsfnctory one. Ilecelpts were 750 head ,
a against G2I head Saturday nnd 1,227 head
n last Monday , nnd while there were a
ew very decent corn-fed natives the bulk
f the offerings consisted of wheat or liny-
ed westerns. Eastern markets were quoted
ctlve and sharply higher than Saturday ,
nd this , with the very moderate offerings
icre , made salesmen more or less bullish.
Uuyers , however , while they evidently
runted the cattle , were unwilling to pay
ho advance demanded by sellers In most
ases , and the trade was dull , mean nnd
ragging. Prices ruled higher on what sold ,
iut there were several loads still In the
.ens . at the close. Good cornfed natives nnd
dmitfed westerns , averaging 1,100 to 1,300
bs. , sold at around $4.70 to $4.SO.
The market for butchers' stock nnd cnn-
crs was without new features , nnd prices
or all grades of cow stuff averaged up
.bout like last week. Veal calves were In
Ight supply nnd sold readily nt strong
irlces , and the same wns true of bulls , stags
, nd rough stock generally.
Business In the stocker nnd feeder line was
lull and prices ruled lOc to Me lower than
ast week. Farmers report their pastures
giving out , nnd they therefore refuse to buy
lock cuttle until there Is a good rnln or
more life nnd strength to the fat cattle mar-
let. Good to choice feeders ure quotable
t $3.X ( > Q-I.OO ; fair to good , $3.Wg'3.GO , and
ommon grades from $3 down. Heprcsenta-

for moderate assortments that collectively took
a good quantity. There wns some demand for
otaiile or brown cotton * that manufacturer , ) nml
agents could not reppond to , because of the
prices not relieving the advanced cost of cotton
or the deliveries being too near. White goods
were In good request , aw were printed tissue *

MAY FESTIVAL AT ntJSER'B.
Swedish Singing Society Opent the Hrnion
arrnttn Notes.
Tlie Swedish Singing sookty Nor-
den gave a Mny festival nt lluscr's
park Sunday. Numerous vocal selec
tions nnd dancing In the largo pa
vilion on the grounds were the chief at >
tractions upon tlie program for the nflcr-
noon.-liml evening. It was the first outing
of the season for tlio society , and notwith
standing the rather unfavorable state of
the weather It was liberally patronized by
the Norsemen , their wives , daughters ami
sweetheart * , so that the park grounds for the
first time this year presented a lively scene.
This was also partially attributed to a num
ber of riflemen from the Omaha Schitelzcn-
voreln , wlioso practice day It was. The
Nordcn's arrangement committee , consisting
of Instructor Axel Oleson , A. Mllgren and
August UylanJcr , strove earnestly to make tha
occasion an enjoyable one for all their In
vited guests. The singing was very credit
able anil fully up to the standard which this
society lias acquired since It first organized
for this purpose some eight years ago. The
singers found attentive listeners and were
greeted with applause at the close of every
song from well known Swedlxh masters.
There were these selections which recalled
memories of a partially forgotten old home ,
appealing especially strong to people whose
childhood days had been spent In that north
country , while lively tunes suited others
born upon a free soil , but nevertheless able
to comprehend the tongue of their ancestors.
"SUona Mai , " "Jngtsang. " "Llllastlne , "
"Sattmasklnen I Gang" and others were only
a few of those finding general favor. Merry
dancers approprlatO'l the platform afternoon
and evening and the predominating blondes
of both sc.xes with Swedish blood In their
veins demonstrated fully that they know
how to enjoy and promote harmony.
At the close of the target practice at
Sclmetzcn park Sunday the score of the
voreln stood as follows : Krcil Schroeder , 1C3 ;
Frank H'ft , 190 ; Fred McngeUoht , 150 ; Wil
liam Stoeckcr. 170 ; Hans Peterson , 101 ;
Henry Seldler. 13G ; Fiod Fuller , 178 ; Charles
Ooettsch , 145.
Tlio Llederkranz Singing society has ar
ranged an attractive musical program for a
concert which Is to be given at th < ? hall tlie
last Sunday In the month. A picnic Is also
contemplated by the same society the second
Sunday In June at some popular resort ,
On the occasion of bis last birthday. Presi
dent Kopp of the Llederkranz was gratefully
remembered by the members of his society
by a serenade at his home , 3461 South Fif
teenth street. As usual , genial Jacob re
ciprocated for the compliment ,
A HSU C/A OK.VHX TU.
Andrew Mack Is the composer of the
popular song , "My Pearl Is n Uowery Qlrl , "
and he la said to sing it , better than any one
who lias yet attempted It. Mr. Mack Is
also responsible for "The Qlrl I Love , " "Molly
O'Moore , " "Mandy" nnd "Phoebe , " all of
which are sungby various members of Peter
Dalley's company In "A Country Sport. "
This aggregation of Jolly people Peter
Dalley , May Irwln , Ada Lewis , John O.
Sparks and Andrew Mack and others will
close the present engagement at Uoyd's thea
ter tonight In the bright farce comedy , "A
Country Sport. " This will be the last op
portunity Omaha theater-goers will have of
seeing this flue company In "A Country
Sport , " for the reason that next season Mr.
Dalley will produce Ills new piece , "A Night
Clerk , " Miss Irwln also stars In a new play
and Andrew Mack will star under the man
agement of D. AV. Truss & Co. In "Miles
Aroon. "
Canary & Lcderer's big New York Casfno
and Chicago opera house success , "The PassIng -
Ing Show , " will play an engagement at
Uoyd's theater tomorrow and Thursday nights
only. It Is a rattling good entertainment
from beginning to end , opening with a snap
and keeping up In quick succession a scries
of specialty attractions , not one of which Is
tiresome and most of which are up to the
standard. The fun never lags and provoca
tion for laughter Is continuous and humor
Impregnates every moment. The piece Is
constructed with a never forgotten purpose
of parody and burlesque and the spirit which
animated the author pervades the principal
performers , who never lot the Interest of the
audience grow stale. There Is a parody upon
pretty much everything that lias been an
amusement fad lately , Including the living
pictures , and the management have secured
first rate people to keep tba thing moving.
They have Lucy Daly , perhaps the best ne
gro specialty dancer on the stage , to do
plantation and soubrette dancing , with a lot
of darkey boys to be her background and
chorus. Vernona Jarbau , long a star at
traction In opera boufte , has some of that
sort ot business In gorgeous tights , and some
first rate dramatic burlesque besides. The
leading men ore not less good. George A.
Schiller , with song and dance In more than
one eccentric makeup ; John K. Henshaw , In
excellent work , and Seymour Hess and Wil
liam Cameron In some really admirable mim
icry. The company numbers 110 people and
Includes besides those already mentioned
Madge Lesslng , May Ten Urocck , Gus Plx-
ley , Minnie Mlllsr , Llila Lear and La Petite
Adelaide , the graceful child dancer. The sale
of seats for both nights will open at 9
o'clock this morning and from present Indi
cations the sale will bo large.

An action has been begun by Augusta and
Charles Hanuse against the Schlltz Brewing
company to have a decree of foreclosure to
some land In McGavock & O'Keefs's addition
to South Omaha set aside. The Hanuse fam
ily state that they are unsuspecting Germans
who were deceived by an attorney , having his
promise to pet up thdr defense In the case
when the suit came to trial. This , they state ,
ho failed through collusion to do. Strause
Liros. first started suit last May to set aside
a deeU given by the plaintiffs to the brewing
company. Hanuso wants to show the deed
was a mortgage.
