Sens aad Gossip.
OMAHA. Dec. 10, 1904.
The general trend of a heat values la to
a lower range, with nurket ao out of rela
tion that there la but little opportunity for
shippers to make, money In aendlng grain
forward, and millers have but little In
clination to buy, their efforta being ad
Juated to the agreeable effort of bringing
valuee to a lower range. The retelpta at
northwestern points were quite large, but
the arrivals at aouthwestern clilea ar
light. The government crop report for the
month of December will be given to the
public thla afternoon and la awaited by
the grain trade everywhere with consider
able Interest. The winter wheat area a
year ago at thla time was 82,oon.ono acres.
Percentage condltiona will compare with
the following:

Speculative traders are rather disposed
to give the wheat market a small share
of their attention at thia time, evidently
waiting for information of aumclent force
to make a turn one way or the other
probable. Then, too, corn la attracting
much more than lta usual share of atten
tion. The movement is enormous and ironi
all sections of the corn belt a steady
stream la flowing Into elevators, and thia
keepe traders busy.
The only actual weakness waa In De
cember. The ahorts have cleared their
trades quite generally and -the receipts en
courage those still out to stay out for a
few daya more. Thla brought a break of
c, or to 8107S. with a subsequent re
covery to and close at 81.07V May wheat
actually closed He higher than on Friday,
and this followed a 'v break, with a good
recovery on profit-taking. July waa at
one time Uc off, but cloaed well up to the
linals of Friday. There waa but little
cash wheat offered In Omaha and the
quality of the few samples for sale waa
decidedly poor.
Changes In corn prices were unimpor
tant. There were loasea of Hfrc early,
but they were for the most part recovered
and the final figures showed no change In
December, He In May and c in July, the
deferred futures making leas recovery than
December because of the large flow of
corn from elevatora to primary polnta.
The rush of corn from Galveston enroute
to Liverpool la enormous and most of the
cara received continue their onward move
ment to the gulf. Prices are steady.
The oata market was moderately active,
with c decline In all futures.

CATTLE There were quite a few cattle
reported this morning, but most of them
were billed direct and no change in the
market was noticeable. For the week re
ceipts show a decrease of about 2,000 head
as compared with last week, but as com
pared with the same week of last year
there has not been much change. The de
mand for desirable gradea is fully equal to
the supply, but some of the commoner
kinds nave neen somewnat neglected.
The recelpta of corn-fed ateera have been
on the Increase, but the bulk of the offer
ings hna been of common quality. Aa com
pared with a week ago the better grades
can aafely be quoted strong nnd active. On
the short-fed varieties the market has been
uneven, so that aome aulea have looked
lower than others. That was the cnae lust
wet'K, nowever, anu 11 is very evident that
packera are not anxious for such kinds and
tuke them only when they cannot get
enough of the more desirable grades. The
Bcnrclty of western rangers has, of course,
relieved competition from that aource. hut
still prices arc. If anything, a little lower
ror tne week, uooa to choice corn-fed
ateera may be quoted from t5.no to 86.26 nnrl
something strictly prime would bring more
tniin mat. rair to gooa Bell from 64.00 to
to. 50 and common to fair from t3.25 to ft.
The western range season has practically
come to a close so fur as beef steers are
cencerned. A few arrived tills week, but
they were mostly of only fair quality.
Packera. though, seemed to be anxious for
them and the market could safely be quoted
strong and aome salea have undoubtedly
been higher. The top price of the week
was 4.25.
Good to choico cowa have not shown
much change during the week and have
been in good demand. Cannera have alao
fluctuated but little In either direction. The
medium clusa of cows, though, have suf
fered a decline of 15((i2oc. The bulk of the
recelpta coming forward now are from
local polnta, though a few westerna are
allll arriving. Good to choice cowa could be
quoted from 82.76 to 3.50 and something
fine would bring more than that. Fair to
goou aeu irom z.zo to 12.75 and cannors
and cutters from fl.75 to 2.25.
Hulls are If anything a trifle lower than
they were a week ago, except in case of the
cholcent grades. Fat bulla aell from t2.50
to f3.25 and feeding bulla, which are fully
ateady. Bell from f2 to 2.50. Veal calves
are ateady for the week, beat grades Belling
up to f6.6Q.
The demand for atockera and feedera waa
fully equal to the Bupuly all the week and
prieea ruled atrong. At the close of the
week, however, tlib demand from the coun
try slackened and speculators experienced
aome trouble In disposing of their holdings
even at reduced prices. The demand Is still
chiefly for the better gradea, common klndB
being alow Bale. Good to choice grades may
be quoted from t3.60 to f4, fair Urgood from
f3.25 to f3.50 and the commoner kinds from
13.15 down. Representative salea;

HOGS Receipts were rather moderate
thla morning, und with favorable reports
from other points pricea Improved. The
market here oould be quoted active and gen
erally 7Vo higher than yeaterday, sales go
ing from 6c to loc higher. As soon as buy
era and aellera got down to a trading basis
the market became very brisk and every,
thing except a few lute arrivals and aome
of the commoner loads chunged handa In
a hurry. The bulk of the salts went at
14. 37 and 64.40, with a top at f4.45. A few
of the common heavy loads Bold from 4.36
For the week receipts have been heavy
there being an increase over last week of
about 8,0110 head and us compared with tha
same week of last year there Is an Increaae
of about 4.000 head. The tendency of pricea
was downward until Friday, when there
was a flight reaction, followed by the ad
vance of today, which leaves pricea not
quite a dime lower than a week ago
Thursday was the low day of the week
when the average was down to f4.28T4. Aa
coinpiujed with a year ago the market Is
about 64jlOc lower.
About noon a few cars of bogs arrived,
and the more urgent orders were filled
the market cloaed very slow with the early
advance moatly loat. Repreaentative salea;

SHEEP There were quite a few sheep
reported this morning for s Siturdiy, but
only a portion of them were on sale. Tl e
market could not be quoted anything but
ateady. A string of ewea sold for 14 10.
For the wmk receipts have been very
light for th" time of ear. the decrease as
compared wlt'i the same week of last year
amounting to about 26.0i head. In o:her
words the renelpta thla week have been less
than half as large as they were a year
ago.
The weatern range season Is now prac
tically at an end so far n klllera are con
cerned Occaslonnl!v a hunch arrives and
yeaterdnv some Wvomlng yearling sold
up to ft.75. The bulk of the receipts though
consists of short fed stuff. The demand
has been normal all the week and owing
to the light run there haa not been enoVah
to meet the requirementa of the trade. As
compared with a week ago prices are
strong on both sheep and lambs and In
muny rases salea have been made that
looked considerably higher.
The demand for feeders has also been
In excess of the supply and the market for
the week can safelv be quoted atrong nnd
active. In fact the wei k closed with
prices on both klllera and feeders at the

USES A. RIGHTEOUS DECEIT
Unrrr Tells How He Saved Hla Client
a Lot of Tronblo and
Some Caah.
"Our cleverest work," snld the old lawyer
remlnlBcently,' "Is not always done lit
court."
"No?" said the young: man inquiringly,
"Possibly you could give an Illustration."
"Undoubtedly I could," replied .tha old
lawyer. "In fact, I waa thinking of tha
cose of an Irascible old fellow who once
kicked a servant out of the house. I be
lieve there waa a difference of opinion as
to the amount ot wages the man was enti
tled to. At any rate, the teaty old gentle
man put himself In tho wrong when ho
ejected tha man with violence of both lan
guage and action and the man was rrnart
enough to know It.
"Ha hunted up a lawyer Immediately and
put tha case in his hands and then I was
called In. Tho wrathy old fellow was mad
clear through and ha was going to fight tha
case all the way up to ths highest court
and back again If necessary. Hs waa a
personal friend of mine and I didn't want
to sea him waste his money foolishly, ao.
I advised him to compromise It.
" 'Not if he offers to compromise for 10
cents.'' he asserted vociferously. Tlr fight
this case clear to the limit no matter what
It costs.'
"I argued with him, but It waa no use.
He'd pay mo anything I wanted to fight tho
case, but he wouldn't pay tha plaintiff a
cent. I would have been Justified under tha
clrcumstancea In going ahead and letting
him run Into a lot of expensive and uaelesa
litigation, but I didn't liko to do It. Bo I ,
went to see tho lawyer on the other side.
He knew he "had a good case, but ho also
knew that piy client had lots of money and '
could make a prolonged and costly fight.
Consequently he waa Inclined to bo reason
able. He hunted up his client and talked
It over with him and tho client aald bo
would compromise for 826. His lawyer
made a reasonable charge and I closed
with them on ths spot and paid them.
"Then I went back to my client, told him
I had put up such a bluff that ha never -would
hear of the caso again, tumed In a
bill that covered the coat of tho aettlement
I had effected and ha pUd It without a
murmur. He sometimes ipeaks to m( now
of tho clever work I did In that oase, but
Jia doesn't know how clever It really waa
and what a tot of cash It saved him." New
York Press.
