Hogs Another, liberal run of koga put In
Its' appearance this morning. Today'a orrl
vale of lot eara, or 14.100 hsad, bring ths
total for ths week ts data up to IT.Tii head,
as eomparsd with It.lll last week, 11,114
lw weeks' ago and 17,74: year ago. So
far this wssk supplies have keen ths heav
iest sine three wssks ago.
The hog market today wag good HI
f a dleeppolntmont to seltsrs. Teeterday's
market, which around noon became as much
ae 30c lower than tho preceding day,
strengthened UP again on -the estrema eloee,
ens of the packers who had laid out on
the earfy trade cleaning up all the hogs
oilers were willing to cash at morning
prices. '
' Today all Indlcatlena pointed to t hlghsr
narkct. Teeterday'a better eloae, eoupled
etth the 'fact that prices here have been
tew compered with moot other markets,
and reports of advanees elsewhere this
morning, nude sellers bullish, but, as noted,
the trade was a eomplsts disappointment
to selling Interests.
Shlppere bought a few hoxs a little hlghsr
ts start things, but ths aptVoachlng rail
Itnke oriole made them cautfoua. and they
.jralted until packere got startsd before
, 4elRg much. Killer buyere looksd around
larly and Invoiced moat of tho .droveo, but
rent away without making bids. Hsllers
Inelly had to' give In before packere' In.
ltajorer.ee, and In tho end bulk of the kill
. ng hoga wss bought to about ths asms
lotehee as yeeterday. At the best time
trices mlfht have been g little better than
rastsrday, but there were also sales which
ooked If anything eesler.
On. lights and plain mixed kinds It waa
.Tto old familiar story, Ons packer wee
laying out, and others picked their hose,
leaving out less deslrabls kinds whsrevsr
- poaslble. with ths result that towarda noon
chero were still as much aa forty or fifty
Mrs of hoga unsold, a good percentage of
which wore on ths light or highly mil. a
jrder. At this tlms most packsrs had
their drovea pretty well filled out, and the
'nly buyers who wsre still In the field were
trying to buy hogs towsr than yssterday'a
general market.
Ths hsgs eold up to midday wire genor
tlly eteady with yeeterday and poselbly
. averaged a Uttte stronger. Bulk of these
truer sales wsn made around 114.009
.4.30. and aa high as 114.11 had bean paid.

Tho sarly market wu eteady to 10c

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Wheal Opens Higher en Improremeat Id
Rail Htrlk Sltwatlna.
Chicago, 111., March 15. Orowlng confi
dence that the threatened railway strike
would be averted led to higher price for
wheat today. The raarkot closed strong and
3c to So net advance, with May at $1,$0
to $1.10 and July at $1.66 to 11.61,
Corn gained e to I He. oats e to lc
and provisions 30c to 76c.
Aside of a little sinking spell at ths out
set and another weak spot just before mid
day, tne wnest market showed a con
tinuous gain. Houses with eastern connec
tions ware the chief buyere, and It was said
that una firm alone purchased 3,000,000
bushels. Almost from tho outnat the as
sumption waa general that the railway
strike outlook was less ominous and as the
day wore on It waa more and more evident
that optimism In regard to favorable out
come of the strike conference had become
pronounced. Meanwhile bullish crop re
ports from southwestern Kaneas aoted as
decided handicap on the bears. Accord
ing to leading au t nor t ties, mucn or tne
wheat tn that section had not germinated at
all, and much that did germinate was dead.
Kit I mates that export aales in tne last
twenty-four hours amounted to 1,200,000
bushel helped to lift the wheat market
during the ffnal hour of the session.
in the and, however, trade consisted ror
the moat part of evening up transactions by
shorts who were eager to anticipate a pos
sible harmonious outcome of the difficulty
with the railway employe.
Corn rose with wheat. Lightness or re
ceipts tended to prevent any sharp setback.
Oats dlsalayea no independence or other
cereals. Salea of 400,000 bushels of oats
for ahloment at tha ODonlna of lake naviga
tion were made, a total oi ti,uvv ousneia
so far this week.
Sharp upturns in tha Trro visions market
resulted from persistent buying on eastern
account and from higher quotation! on
hogs. Offerings were light until lard
touched 111.00.

Authorities Probe Thefts
Of Money from Mail Boxes
Thrte cies of thefts from tht
mails in Omaha have been reported
to police and postal inspectors.
When SM in currency was stolen
from a letter addressed to a guest of
the Rex hotel a clerk there was ar
rested. But while he was in jail a
second theft of $40 from a registered
letter was reported by the same
guest. The clerk has since been re
leased. While efforts were being made to
uncover the leak in the mails, a
woman employe of the Burgess-Naslf
store reported a third case of local
mail tampering. She said she had
mailed a check to a Sioux City
woman, but that the check with a
forged endorsement had been found
on the street here and returned to
her, after having evidently been lost
by the mail thief who stole it. j

Nimble Con Men Switch
Checks On Iowa Farmer
After vainly trying to get cash for a
$100 check he had written Grant
Turner, a wealthy Iowa farmer, was
induced by two friends to tear up
the check, he said. Hat it must have
been another piece of paper that was
destroyed, for the real check later
came 'in against ais account after
having been collected through an
Omaha bank. . I
Turner has offered a reward for the
arrest of one of his "friends." George
Harris, alleged to have been con
cerned in the confidence game, has
already been sentenced to pay a fine
in police court and committed to jail
in default of payment.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Day's Dull Market Roles Firm

caps. TRADING WAS BROAD
Nw Tork. March 15. Despite tha hand!
cans Imposed by adverse domestic and for-
elsn factors, today'a dull market ruled
firm to atronr. though losing considerable
ground In the later dealings. Prices were at
their best during the mad-session, when
recess In the railway labor conference was
announced, but fell back all around In the
final hour of selling, apparently Induced by
the reports of the revolution In Kussla.
Trading wss broad, considering the com
paratively small tourn-over, dealings em
bracing more than the usual variety of In -
dustrlals and metals with a fair sprinkling
of specialties. Bethlehem Steel, new and

grates Steel rose IV to 1114, but cloned

Issues suffered like -reductions.
Coppers rose 1 lo 1 points, .Shippings, m

and Equipment 1 to 3 points, with General
boa trier, industrial Alrortoi, American can
and International Nickel, Sugar and Paper
tsharea. were Irreau ar throughout.
Tho movement In utilities was limited, the
only features being an extreme rise of 6
In Ohio Gas to 112 with 16-S for West

Inquiry for rails centered around Reading,
Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and less

THINK THEATER
FIRE INCENDIARY
Mixture of Gasoline, Turpen
tine and Other Liquids On
Floor and in Tub.
SECOND FIRE IN THE PLACE
After investigating an explosion
and fire which did $1,000 damage
about midnight Wednesday night at
the Farnam movie theater, ' 141 J
Farnam street, Fire Chief Salter and
Fire Warden Ed Morris asserted they
were convinced the blaze was in
cendiary. Another suspicious fire oc
curred there some time ago, since
when the theater has been closed.
"The losris well covered by insur
ance," said Warden Morris. "Fire
men found a highly inflammable mix
ture of gasoline, turpentine and other
liquids scattered over the floor and
in a tub, from which the flaming li
quid spattered all around when a
stream of water was first directed into
the place."
Police say they were told by several
waiters in the employ of the. King
Joy restaurant, upstairs, that the fire
was preceded by an explosion which
rocked the building and disturbed a
large numbers of persons partaking
of after-theater lunches.
The theater is owned by Joe Kohl
berg, Twenty-eighth and Decatur
streets. The place was closed tem
porarily for repairs. Kohlberg, his
wife said last night, is in Kansas City
buying new fixtures for the opening
of the place.
Kohlberg is said to be under grand
jury indictment in connection v'"1 a
charge of arson growing out of a
previous fire in his theater building.
