OMAHA. March 12, 1901.
Oniaia was a more active market this
morning than for severs! day. Fending
o-riaiu news to cni conditions the
market, It Is thought, wilt have two sldis.
'J Ills was the caoe today and there was
ho particular fcaturn In the trading. May
client advanced for the morning in Chi
cago o and new July the fame, May
corn went up lc to i'o. The Liverpool
upHiilng was slightly stronger on wheat
'and unchanged on corn. No. 1 northern
spot sold In Chicago Ht the highest pre
mium of the year, being only la under
the May. A Kosarlo cable says that the
Aigentlne strike situation Is much worse.
The cash wheat situation Is rather bad, as
the offerings have loosened up, with a
poorer demand, and dally receipts are now
larger than for last yrur. No hull move
ment of any Importance Is thought by
the talent to be probable. The snipping
grade Is now Ivc or 1-io under the May and
this will be against any bull tactics. The
oat stocks are large with plenty of contract
grade.
Omaha May wheat opened rather weak at
82c, the close of Friday being tdc. The
market sagged to 82c on Chicago selling,
und later rallied to fuViC. July opened at
(Oc, broke to RlHc, and rallied to k-'Uc

CATTLE There were several bunches of
oattle here this morning, but packers
bouitht .them ld at aood. steady prices.
een though it was Saturday. For the
weeJc receipts snow a e'.lght gain, both over
last week and the corresponding week of
last year, lhe demand had been in good
shape most of the week and the general
tendency of prices has been Upward.
The market on corn-fed steers may btl
quoted lt4j30c higher than Monday, or," in.
other words, the market la. nearly back
to the high point of '.ast week, Friday's de
cline of last week being practically all re
gained, particularly on desirable gradea.
On some days packers have been a little
Dearisn, Dut sun tne local demand, as well
as the shipping demand, has been In good
shape on most days, and an aotlva and
strong market has been the general rule.
Good to choice corn-fed steers sell largely
from $4.60 to $6.00 and as high as $5.20 was
paid for a prime load. Fair to good cat-
tie are quotaoie irom 4 to 4 &u ana com
moner kinds largely from $3.75 to 84.1S.
Warmed-up cattle weighing under 1,000
pounds sell from $3.76 down.
The tondency of the cow market has also
been upward and the general market is
U55'20o higher for the week, or nearly as
good as on Thursday ot last ween, mere
has been a very strong demand for good
light-weight heifers and such kinds are In
many rases fully a quarter higher. Me
dium grades have also Improved nnd. while
cannera are some higher, still they have
not advanced as much as the better grades.
Neither did they suffer as much of a de
cline on Friday of last week. Canners and
cutters are veiling largely' from $1.90 to
$150, fair to good grades from $2.75 to $3.25
and good to choice from $3 30 to $3.75, with
extra choice as high as $4.00.
Bulls are still rather slow sale and prices
have shown very little Improvement. It
takes a oholee bull to bring $3 00 to $3 25,
though an occasional sale Is made a little
higher than that. Veal calves have been
in good demand at strong prices, top sales
being $6 50.
The demand for stockers and feeders
has been fully equal to the supply this
wee it ana eacn aay s onenngs nave
changed hands at an early hour. Desir
able cattle are generally lOiilSo higher for
the week. Good to choice grades sre
quoted from $3.75 to $4.15; fair to good.
$3 60 to $3.78. and the commoner grades
from $3E0 down. .Representative sales:

HOGS Receipts this morning were very
light, even for a Saturday, and the market
opened generally a nickel higher. Trading
was fairly active at the advance and the
bulk of the hogs was soon disposed of.
All of a sudden, however, psckers stopped
buying snd lowered their bids. Chlcngo
closed weak and that gave packers another
excuse for pounding the market. The clos
of the market was very slow with ths
advance practically all lost. As salesmen
held for the morning prices It was late
before a clearance was made.
For the wk receipts hav not been ex
cessive. As compared with last week ther
la an Incressn of about S.OUO head and as
compared with th same week of last year
there Is a decrease of about S.Ocj head.
The general tendency of prices nas been
inward and ths week closed with a net
gain of t10c over the closing prices of
lust weeg. Representative sairs:

COLDEST WINTER ON RECORD
That's What Is Claimed Down Kast
nnd Statistics Aro Ulvrn to
Prove It.
With due deference to the oideat In
habitant several hundred of him. if noccs
saryt here are precious tew New Yorkers
who have lived through the sontli of Feb
ruary who oou't know pretty accurately
what winter really means. New York la
undergoing quite the rcalcst winter it has
been through since the weather bureau
went Into commisrlou thirty four years
ago. The average temperature fcr the
month of Dccambei was SO degrees, which
Is 4 degrees below normal, the avers gii of
the post thtrty-throo Decembers being re
garded as normal. The average daily
temperature for the month ot January
was 24 degrees, which Is 6.2 degrees below
what has been regarded as normal during
the thlrty-thre Januarles which preceded
It. And the average dnlly temperature for
February was from 1 per cent to 15
degrees below ths normal temperature of
February In New York. So that to anyone
of even approximate human Intelligence
tho reality of this winter of 1903-4 would
seem to be amply demonstrated.
In all this there Is no desire to reflect
upon ths memory of the oldest Inhabitant.
Ths East and the North rivers rob-.bly
were frosen over. It is quite credible that
h did skate on New York bay. It Is of
record In 1780 no, the Eagle ha rot dis
covered an Inhabitant who remembers It,
but on whose grandmother used to tell
the tale, and the records corroborate It
In 1780, New York harbor was frozen over
and' trains passed from New York ta
Staten Island.
This did r.ot occur again until 1821 ory
years inter and It was then that '.he old
est inhabitant, a very small boy at tl.e
time, did his memorable skating o.i New
York bay. H may even t:nve one pome
sleighing over what Is now practically the
ferry route from the foot of Cortlandt
st reet to Jersey City, for tho Ice was fro-
ten so solid that the popular rout for
sieigning parties or the day was across
the river to the Jersey shore and then
either down toward the Oranges or up
slong the west shore trward Nyack. On
February S. 1H44 and It doesn't take the
oldest Inhabitant to remember that Long
Island sound was froxen-.over a few miles
above Nw York, aiid on January 20, 1852,
the East river was frosen solid so that
joople passed from BrtcHyn to Nw York.
Probably th coliest winter ort record
vii that of l56-7. John H. Ior7son,
peaking of !t In his 'History of Qteam
Navigation," rays: "Long Island sound
was ihon frown 'over to such an extent
as to clos ravlgatlon completely. Th Ice
was solid at Sand's Point, so that con
munlcation fcr foot or by sleigh oould be
rhad with itkfery front shore to shore.

MONTEZUMA'S CASTLE LOCATED
Texas Archaeologist Slseover Rains

V, C. Pierce, n nrchaeologlst of Dallas,
Tex., who has teen making extensive re-'

and a'ut seven hours' ride by horseback
trom the towu of Matngoros. It Is built
on the summit af a cliff, whose almost per
pendicular walls descend 1.000 feet to a ra
vin below.
"One having reached tho summit," Mr.
Pierce says, "wo found ourselves facing a
wall fully thirty feet bigh rnd 120 feet
long. This wall, as well as all the others,
inclines Inward at an Miglo of about 70
degrees from horizontal. It Is made of
s.ono slsbs eighteen by twenty-four Inches

Behind this first layer of htone slabs Is a
