CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-rrlces In the grain
Sits showed considerable Improvement to
ny, wheat belog strong, but relaxed ro-rte-what
and elosea nrm at A gain of V.t'.io
for Bf-ptember, and (Hc lor Deceiuoer.
Corn iollowed the aame general trend ns
wheat, and closed with Heptemher up Va5
and Ieoembcr ViC better. Heptemher
onts showed a gain of Vo"c with Decem
ber unchanged. Provision were regular,
closing be higher to 15c lower.
Weather advices, reports of damage to
crops In Nebraska, atrong outside markets
and cables all made for an extremely
trong wheat market and but for the gret
amount of long wheet thnt came out a
much larger aovance would have been re
corded, rleptember at the opening shftwed
an advance of &c. to Hlinc, at Mint.',
elling up quickly to lr, while DecenVber
touched Wn. The Belling then became of
uch Influential character that prices broko
to H0c and a2Hc respectively. Near the
close, however, the selling ceased and a
firmer feeling became apparent, carrying
prices back to n- for September, a gain of
Vtf'Vic. and 82'wS2'r.c tor December,
over 'yn'terday a close. Clearancea of
wheat and flour were large, equaling r5.
0C0 bushels. Minneapolis and tultith report
ed receipts of 2SH ears, which with local re
ceipts or 61 cars, 12 of contract grade, made
a total for the three poUita of $45 cars,
against 310 last week and MA a year ago.
Tart of the early strength In corn was
due to sympathy with wheat. Uncertainty
aa to 'the effect of the heavy rains west and
fears of cold weather to follow were also
Influential factora. Timid shorts covered
freely and held prices at a good advance
for a time, but When wheat weakened,
corn rrlces eased off and the loss was but
partially regained at the close. September
finished Jc higher at 61c, after ranging be
tween 50c and 61.C. December sold front
tSo down to B14C, closing with a gain of
Vcp'tja at H44flc. Commission houses led
the buying. The close was steady. lxcal
receipts were 211 Cars, 22 of contract grade.
The oats market was governed almost en
tirely by the action of wheat, early prices
being the best. Local traders continue to
sell, but more moderately and toward the
close unfavorable weather reports created a
feeling of renewed strength, llnal ttrlces b--Ing
up for September at 847c. Wltn
a range of 84c to 55V,c, while December
was unchanged at 36c Local receipts
were 149 cars.
A weaker nog market caused easier pro
vision prices as a rule although there was
some easy strength on shorts covering on
lard, which did not entirely desert that
product. Offerings were free and the cloe
showed September pork down IBe at $12-50.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prlcea to
an advnnce of 2 points on a:i positions ex
cept December, which was 1 point lower.
The steadiness was due to rather better
Liverpool cables than expected, but while
these continue to show suability, favorable
weather encouraged heavy realising, and
almost Immediately the whole list turned
weak, with prices snowing a net decline
of from 8 to 12 points. The crop news
from private sources, however, waa not
conflicting, notwithstanding the excellent
weather, and more was heard as to the
damage done by the boll weevil In Texaa.
These influences, in connection with the
continued steadiness at Liverpool and the
delayed rrttovement, restricted selling, and
ns offerings became less insistent the bulls
became less aggressive to the support of
the market, forcing In the shorts and ad
vancing prices. The advance In the mar
ket, which for the first hour or so had
been very active, quieted down considera
bly, and orders from outside sources were
limited, leaving th entire burden of sup
porting the market to the clique. Towards
the middle of the afternoon the buying of
these lnteresta let down, and the room
was rendered rather bearish by the good
weather, turned to the short side, Impart
ing a declining tendency, which Was In
creased later aa aelllna- became more gen
eral with rumors circulating that the clique
were unloading. The close was at prac
tically the lowest of the session and easy
in tone at a net decline of 283 points. Re
ceipts of new crop cotton today, 157 bales.

CATTLE '1 he heavy rain of yesterday
and last night interfered materially with
the live stock market toaay. aiany 01 tne
trains were unable to get here in time for
today's market, while those that did arrive
camo in late. As a result there was not
much stock on sale at the opening of the
market. Packers, though, were anxious for
supplies, and as a result the market was
active and fully steady on desirable grades.
The few corn-fed steers that arrived sold
freely at ateady to strong prices where
the quality was at an desirable, ine bet
ter the quality the more strength there
was to the market, and the top price of
the market was $6 60. It was also the top
price of the year to date. In one bunch
there were 30 nead of Shorthorns, which
averaged 1,457 lbs., and -In another there
were 16 head of Polled Angus which aver
aged 1,487 lbs. Owing to the small supply
of corn-feds on sale they were all soon dis
posed of.
The low market was not quite as good
as it was ,4eaterday. Some of the choicest
bunches did not suffer to any greut extent,
but the general run of cows sold generally
a dime lower. Buyers did not seem to care
much for cows today, so salesmen finally
had to take the prices offered.
Bulls, veal calves and stags did not com
mand any more than steady prices.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers offered, and they sold without much
trouble at steady prices if the quality was
at all desirable. Common stuff, though.
was more or leas neglected.
Western grass beef steers were very
scarce this morning, and the few that were
Offered changed hands freely at fully ateady
prlcea. There waa notning very good on
sale. Range cows were generally a dime
lower and rather slow, while stockers and
feeders did not show much change. Repre
sentative aalea:

SHEEP There were only five cars of
sheep reported this morning, three cars
being wethers and the others ewes. Owing
to the small supply it could not be said
that a fair test of the market was made.
It wus evident, though, . that packers
wanted a few, nnd the market could not
bo quoted anything but steady. Aa there
were no lambs on sule there Is nothing new
10 be said of the situation on that class
of stuff.
The demand for feeders still continues
fairly good, though of course the heavy
rains have had a tendency to check the de
mand for a little time.

Trnns Were OsT Dnty.
A maae meeting of citlxena of Omahi,
South Omaha, Council Bluffs snd the ter
ritory immediately surrounding them prob
ably will be called within the next week to
protest against any more postponements of
the grocers' and butchers' picnic.
The Federation of Improvement Clubs
probably will take the lead In the matter,
as the clubs forming the federation, and
the Individual membera of them, are eiu
phatlo In expressing their sentiments on
the matter. If necessary, Judgo SU
baugh, who la president of the federation,
may be asked to Issue an Injunction. U Is
stated that he has declared no petition will
be necessary, as he can take official nnd
Judicial cognisance of existing conditions
and of the baneful effects of setting dates
for grocers' and butchers' picnics.
The Commercial club and Real Estate
exchange, on account of the general dam
age done to all professional, commercial
and agricultural lnteresta, will second the
call for the mass meeting. Tho Auditorium
directory also will Join In the oall. on the
score that the plcnlo Is seriously delaying
work on the Auditorium. Other organi
sations. Including the churches, on the
score of morality, and especially In the In
terests of the crusade against profanity, .
will join In the call.
Officers Are Muni.
Officers of the association decline to dis
cuss the matter In any way or to make any
defense. They admit that on and Imme
diately preceding the first date set for the
picnic the heavens opened and flooded the
picnic grounds with three feet of water,
and did considerable damage In the sur
rounding country: that on and Just previous
to the second date Omaha and 'vicinity
was flooded, and that on and Just previous
to the third date set for the lenlc,
not only Omaha and the picnic grounds,
but everything between them. lncludlnghe
railroads, were flooded. It is further r-

plcnlo trains. They expressed surprise'
when told that the picnic had been post
poned and were not satisfied until told
that all communication by rail with Mis
souri Valley had been cut off since Wednes
day evening and would not be renewed
until a time then unknown. Even then
the amnll boys were not satisfied, but
loudly demanded that they be allowed to f;o
to the picnic, for which they had been
given tickets.
Many of the grocery stores and butcher
shops did not open yesterday, while
others were doing business as usual. Later,
when .It became known that no picnic was
being held, the others opened. But It was
not a pleasant task to Interview them, and
unless some measures are taken by the
officers to square themselves the two as
sociations may be reorganised that is. If
they do not go to pieces aa a result of
the plcnlo postponements.
