Trading In wheat was of a light character and a nervous feeling prevailed. Favorable weather In the northwest, together with Indifferent cables, caused considerable com mission house selling at the start and opening prices were weak, September being down ,Hc at &yafac. Everything seemed to favor the bears, outside markets being; lower, while tho primary receipts em largo and crop advices favorable. With little demand the market gradually declined until September had touched 79o, when buying orders lecame more numerous and a rally ensued. The latter part of the session was dull and featureless, but prices held about steady. September Closed ItftTte lower st 80S Mr. December was also down 'tiio. closing at 81(3lHe. Primary receipts were 661,900 bushels against S4S,7no bushels a year ago.

After ranging between and Mo September closed .at $4Sc, a gain of tic December was also. up Ho, closing at 26c Local receipts were 1(12 cars. Provisions were firm, chiefly because of a let-up in the selling pressure which had been In evidence recently.

The bulk of the ar rivals was disposed of In good season. There was quite a sprinkling of cornfeds In the receipts and anything at all decent commanded stronger prices. As high as $5.30 was paid for a bunch which averaged 1,837. The common stuff of course was not In aa good demand and could not be quoted any more than steady. When It oame to. the warmed upa they had to sell In the same notches with tha western rangers. The cow market showed very little change from yesterday. The more desir able bunchea were in good request, but pacKers were not wining to pay any more money for them than they old yesterday. l ne common ana meaium Kinas in tne ma jority of cases also sold without much trouDie at ateaay prices. There is nothing new to be said of tha market on bulls, veal calves and stags. There was not a very neavy run of Block ers and feeders, and as forty cars were shipped to the country yesterday specula tors took hold quite freely this morning and raid good strong prices for all de sirable, grades. Even the common stuff Bold freel yat steady prices. There were oniy a tew western grass beef on sale and most of those were badly lacking In quality. The good, stuff could be Quoted strong, but others were only steady. Range cows held about steady with desir able stocK cattle strong ana common xinas steady. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Ho.

The Improvement, however, was mostly on the heavy weights, whlcn in tne roajyii.j of cases sold at right around a nickel higher, or mostly from $6.05 to $3.10. The medium and light weights sold about steady with yesterday, the former going largely from $5.10 to $6.20. and the latter from $5.25 to $6.40. The light run doubtleas had a great deal to do with the advance on heavies, as packers could not get enough of the light w-Mghta to fill their orders and had to take the heavies. The close was rather slow with prlcea certainly no better than those paid earlier In the day. Rep resentative sales: No. 17... 17... 56... 41... 60... 61... ... 44... 14... 67... 61...

Packers, though, did not take hold with any great amount ot life, and the best that could be said of the market is that while trading was slow, the prices paid were about steady. A string of yearlings with a few sheep aold for $3.80, which was pronounced about a steady price, considering the quality. The day was well advanced before the bulk of the arrivals was disposed of. The lack ot quality makes the market on paper look lower than lt really waa. The feeder market hejd Just about steady with yesterday.

SAYS TRUST DELAYS WORK City I all Offioial Holdi CroiW Eton Cam blno RaiponiibA for No Firing. VAIN TALK OF QUARRY IN THE PLATTE Asserts that Ordlaaaea for Ifew Im provement District Was Sap Boftea by Oae ot the Stoaa Comblae. "A combination of firms controlling all tha crushed stone available In Omaha la delaying paring," aald a city hall ofnclal. - "The existence of the trust haa been an accepted fact ainca last winter, when no attempt waa made to conceal the uniform action of the several crushed atone firms In tha city. Prlcea have been pushed steadily upward and the supply regulated In ac cordance. To add to tha situation the heavy washouts on tho railroads In Nebraska and Kanaaa made the ltnea anxious for all tha ballast they could get, and this haa had a pronounced effect on the local market. "Tha Barber Asphalt company early got Into clear by contracting with the Omaha Grant Smelting company for Its entire out put of alag, which la aald to be bet ter even than crushed limestone In asphalt pavementa. The other firm In the asphalt business, tha Nebraska B1 tullthlc company, wsa not ao fortunate and haa been at the mercy of the atone trust. Tha complication haa delayed two amall jobs of new paving and the other day It waa necessary for the city engineer to sign an order authorising tha use of gravel, Instead of crushed rock In the binder for tha paving around tha market house. Proper Rock Lacking. "Aside from tha high prices, lt Is as serted that tho trust haa not been furnish ing tha bitullthlc with tha proper size of rock, when lt furnished the rock at all. Suggestions that Independent contractors open a quarry In tho Platta river valley, where stone abounds, and Install crushing machinery have been met with a withering smile and remarks about what the rail roads would do to shipments coming from this kind of an establishment. "Tha situation aeema to be thoroughly In the hands of tha trust, aa It controls and owns all quarries within eaay reach of Omaha. 'It haa been atated that the ordinance Introduced In the council Tuesday night, which aeeka to create a street Improve ment district for Maple street from Twen tieth to Twenty-fourth, waa supported by Contractor E. D. Van Court, who la one of tha men aald to be In the atona combine. "Van Court thinks he can get signers for tnacadam on Maple street by assuring the property owners that It will cost leas than a dollar a square yard. Aa he can furnish hla own atone, this Is .not doubted, but whether or not tha price would be ao low In other districts that wanted macadam la questioned under the circumstances. With all tha crushed rock In atght con trolled by a few men tho price for maca dam would go steadily upward." PETITIONS FOR JUDGMENT J. JT. Boocher, Administrator of W. D. Beckett Estate, Brings Action to Collect Attorney Fees. J. J. Boucher, aa administrator of the es tate of tbo lata Attorney William D. Beck ett, haa filed a petition in district court asking that a judgment of $5,000 be ren dered against Mary B. Shelby and John P. Shelby in favor of the estate. It la represented that Beckett waa tha attorney In a, $200,000 case agalnat John A. Crelghton, brought by Mary B. Shelby as a legatee of Mary Lucretla Bhelby, John A. Crelghton being a trustee. Tha case was decided against tha plaintiff In the district court, but was appealed by Beckett to tha supreme court, where lt Is pending. The petition says that tha Shelbys have de clined to pay the fee or any part of it Notes from Army Headquarters.
