Flgnrea.
. , , OMAHA, July . 1904.
' It Is a long lane that has nourn," runs
the old proverb, and the turn In the prices
f all grains came with the cessation of
rains yesterday and today. The bear who
foretold the decline a day ago did not
go far amiss. Lower prices surely came
and the holders made not a little sou file
for a time to sell. When they found rood
buyers, prices would waver and perhaps
regain a ahade, but yaluea could not main
tain auch fabulous figures aa ruled the
two days past. Still further declines are
looked for Monday, unless the weather
man is badly mistaken.
Weather which put prices out of reach
during the paat week proved aa equallv
rotent at depressing, them. Hardly had
he sun shone on harvested fields ot wheat
and half-drowned growing corn, after ten
or twelve days of downpour, than values
began to wofiken. Then came the forecast
of fair and warmenr weather, the long-looked-for,
over the entire west and south
west. Showers, as predicted, will be few
and well scattered over the great terri
tory. At Chicago the longs saw how things
were going end liquidations followed. Sell
ing brouRht lower values in all lines and
the market closed from a cent to a half
cent off in all lines.
There waa ahaolutely no trading In fu
ture stuff at Omaha today. A fairly good
cash market waa act up and some cash
business, done. There were offerings In
rwita, but the holders could not tempt those
who were in need because of fancy prices.
The news, of the proponed construction of
five elevatora here la beginning to show Its
effect on the market. In that local elevator
men are anxious' to get winter stuffs on the
long side. While this was not demon
strated today, aa there was practically no
trading In futures, the sentiment has been
apparent for some time past, and If values
strike a moderate level within the next two
weeks Omaha's prospective elevator men
will be found to be on the buvlng side.
Warm weather should bring about a more
brisk session each day at the 'change. The
floor has been almost deserted during the
last few weeks. With the movement at
July stuffs business will receive a stimulus
nd activity In all lines may be expected.
There Is a good demand at Omaha for
corn, but receipts continue to be light.
There Is a prospect of heavier receipts dur
ing the coming week, but nothing mora
than-can be easily taken care of.

CATTLE Over 1,000 cattle were reported
In the yards, but the most of them were
stock billed through. The run of the week
also shows a considerable increase over a
week ago, but several thousand head less
than for corresponding week laat year.
The market tna last few days has been
much more satisfactory to sellers than has
been the case In some time and values on
beef steers are quoted today 16g26o higher
than low time Wednesday, the situation
has materially Improved i all around. To
day's market ruled nominally steady, with
a limited number oh sale.
The cow market has also been satisfac
tory the past week and fluctuations in that
division were much , less marked than In
beef steers. -The kupuly. 'While only fair,
Just about equalled the1 demand, conse-
?uently prices show no material change
ram a week ago on good grades. Thin
stock fared rather poorly arid common can
ning grades are tending ' lower from day
to day. , . ,
There waa little life In the feeder division
during the week. Yard traders took care
of the few arrivals, but at prices not overly
satisfactory. The country demand contin
ues slack and the trade Is more or less un
certain St the present time.
HOGS The market opened- rather slow,
mostly about 2 Vic lower, at which basis
trading was largely done. Packers started
in to bear the market and first sales were
at the decline noted. Later conditions im-
r roved slightly and after the first round
he trade strengthened slightly, when good
grffdes sold pretty close to steady at yes
terday's basis.
Fcr the week the trade fluctuated Con
siderably, ruling higher at the start and
finishing lower later, with prices today
showing only about steady with last Sat
urday. Receipts for the week show quite
an Increase, while the quality continues
very good. Hogs are selling again at a
narrpw range, good hogs of all weights
selling In practically the same notches.

TRIED THE GAME TOO OFTEN
Swindler la m Salooa Hna His Live
Lee Into Actloa Too
Soon.
A neatly dressed stranger drifted Into a
downtown saloon a few evenings Sgo and
Invited all hands to join him at the ma.
hogany. The Invitation was accepted and
while the drinks were being served one of
the stranger's guests Suddenly clapped his
hand to his Jw and exclaimed: "There
goes that gosh danged tooth again t"
"Toothache?'' Inquired the newcomer,
sympathetically, as he placed a gold piece
on the bar.
"Bet It does," replied the sufferer.
"Never had h toothache," remarked the
stranger, "but I don't think it wou!d
bother me much. Don't seem to know what
pain Is."
..His auditors looked incredulous. To
prove his assertion the stranger jabbed
himself in the right leg with a scarf
pin.
"Guess Tov'dtdri't drive it In very hard,"
said the bartender.
Tv4 got $S that says you can't hurt
me," boasted the man of no feeling.
"If It wasn't against the rules to bet
while on duty," replied the cocktail mixer,
"I'd v take you up and make you Jump
skyhlgh."
Too bad that you are losing suoh a
chance to make easy money," sarcastically
replied the stranger.
"I'll take that bet," replied the mix
ologist with a show of anger.
One of the party Was selected stake
holder and the sa!oon man came from be
hind tht bar. Taking the scarf pin from
the stranger who had extended his .right
leg -to receive the Jab, the bartender made
a quick forward lunge and the man who
didu't feel pain let out a sharp, shrill cry
and started for the door without waiting
io withdraw the pin.
, Th4) money Iras turned over to the saloon
man and he Invited the crowd to drink at
his expense. .But the man with the
tpotbacfre' did not' wait for the treat.
"I was . on to their game," explained
the drink dlspehser. 'The leg he Jabbed
is cork, so I gave him the pin in the good
one. The fellow with the toothache Is his
pat. He starts the talk about pain and
the other one doea the trick. They don't
come In together, so you wouldn't suspect

THE RETIRED LITERARY MAN
Showing;- How He F.nabled Hlntse!'
Finally to Make Mis Ideas
Flow at Will.
"When I first set out upon my raree
aa a writer," said the retired literary man.
"I used to have days, aa I suppose all
writers do, when I couldn't write, when
the muse turned her back on me and the
divine afflatus positively refused to affiste,
when my Ideas aeemed mixed with gluo
and wouldn't flow, and I laid down my
pen In despair. But I cured myself of that
falling finally, in the simplest way In the
world.
"I waa living In the country then, otk my
father's farm, and we used to aaw our own
wood for use In the house. We had. one
of those old-fawhloned wood sheds with
wood corded up In It on one side, and an
oldtlme sawbuck and bucksaw standing on
the dirt floor In the middle, that we used
to saw up the wood with; and what I
used to do wns this:
"I had made it, even at that early period,
a cardinal principle of my life that I should
never be Idle; and In those days when, on
sitting down at my writing, I found thnt
the muse wns not smiling on me and that
likewise D. Afflatus had the noxxle of his
bellows pointed In the other direction, and
that some careless person had upset an
other pot of glue In my Idea box and I
simply couldn't write, why, I would say
to myself:
"'Well, old man, If you can't write,. you
csn saw wood, anyway. It doesn't taks an
awful lot ot brains to be ablo to do that;'
and then I used to mosey out to the wood
shed and saw about two dosen sticks of
hard oak and hickory.
"And that did me good physically, and
aa a rule It would start up my Ideas, too,
and I'd go back to my desk.
"And then I'd keep on till I struck an
other time when I simply couldn't write,
and then I'd take ta the bucksaw again.
"But do you know that finally I got so
that I had to saw but very little wood to
start my idess flowlngT And at last I got
so that Just getting up from my desk and
starting .for the woodshed, ' would set 'em
going; for as an honest matter of fact I
did hate to saw the wood, and I would give
my ideas an awful wrench rather than do
that sawing business and nt the same time
I was bound not to sit down and dose away
the hours till my Ideas started up ot their
onto accord. I must write or saw wood.
'And in the end I got so that -1 could
control my Ideas and make 'em flow, and
before we moved to the city I didn't have to
saw wood at all.
'But I brought the old sawbuck and buck.
saw with me, and I kept it, as I do to this
day. In the room right next to my study;
and If ever I sat down te my literary work
and found things going slow, why I would
get up and go Into that next room and look
at the sawbuck and bucksaw and then I'd
go back and find the muso, If not facing
square toward me. at least edging 'round
my way, and the glue In my Idea box soft,
ened enough so that I could persuade my
Ideas to flow. And at last I got so, for
good, thnt I could make 'em flow whenever
I sat down to write.
The muse may be coy at times, no doubt
she sometimes is, but even then she may
be won. If wooed In downright earnest, or
say with the alternative of sawing wood.
If you can't do work with the. pen." New
