Cattle All kinds of cattlo were draggy
and lower again this morning. Estimated
receipts were rather liberal for a Thursday,
around 7,000 head being In sight. On'y a
small share of the run had been yarded at
10 o'clock, and most trains were not ex
pected before 11 o'clock or later. Packer
buyers did not start out until the middle
of the morning and' consequently nothing
had been done up to this writing. Prospects
were for a fresh decline of at least 25 Cents
In native beef, and slump of 1EJT26 cents or
more In butcher stock. Natives made up
the big end of the receipts.

6heep A liberal run of sheep and lambs
for a Thursday arrived today. , Delay In
getting supplies to the barn slowed up the
opening market and little was done In kill,
ers before 10 o'clock. The undertone to both
fat lambs and sheep was. If anything, eas
ier. Shorn fat lambs sold up to $13.85 and
were fully steady. No choice fat lambs
changed hands on the early rounds, but
packer buyer were bearish, and the under
tone was somewhat weaker than yesterday.
Fat ewes were a little easier, best bringing
$10.90. Nothing choice sold. Feeders
showed better strength than any time dur
ing the week. Demand whs good and prices
looked steady to stronger all around. Good
mouthed feeding ewes around $10.60 wert
fully steady to a shade a.rongor than any
thing sold this week.

CHICAGO -CHAIN AND PROVISIONS.

fering Vith Crop Movement.
Chicago, Dec. 18. Corn showed firmness
today, largely because of storms Interfering
With the . crop .movement. Prices closed
steady at the same a yesterday' finish to
o higher, with January $1.21 and May
$1.19. In oals the outcome rungnd from
c decline to o advance. Provisions un
derwent a setback of 22cOtl.OO.
Knowledge that trafflo difficulties had
become acute needed no greater evidence
than ho unusual scantiness of corn re
ceipts.' In addition, however, to the direct
handicap which unfavorable weather put on
trains and teaming. It was said delivery of
cars from eastern roads had been slow and
that there was scarcity of motive power In
the west. On the ensu'ng advance. Decem
ber touched $1.26 a bushel, the- high point
on the crop, Then profit taking set In and
the market tended to sag. Influenced by
weakness In the New York stock market
and by assertions that a cold' wave pre
dicted for tonight would Improve the
quality of the crop.
Oats mounted to a new high price rec
ord for the season. Bad weather and gossip
of largse xport business were mainly re
sponsible. Heavy selling, though. In the
last part of the day, wiped outmost of
the gains.
Sharp declines In the hog market pulled
down provisions.

Leading Shares in Downward
Movement With Fitfnl Rallies,
Serving as Foundation for
Fresh Liquidation.
Nsw York, Dec. 13. No essential changes
from long existing conditions were mani
fested by today's stock market. Leading
hares continued thulr downward movement.
subject to fitful rallies, but these served as
little more than a foundation for fresh
liquidation.
Traders covered at the outset on Intima
tions that the rights of railroad sharehold
era would be safeguarded in the event of
redernl control, but these assurance were
forgotten at the sign of higher ratea for
call and time loans.
Virtually all call money was placed at
six per cent and time funds were extremely
scarce though quotable unchanged. The In
creasing stringency was ascribed to next
Saturday's heavy payment on the second
liberty loan.
The so-colled Itarrlman and Hill Issues,
as well aa other standard rails like Chicago
ft Northwestern, Illinois Central, Pennsyl
vanla, Louisville ft Nanhvlile and Atlantic
Coast Line were among the day rmw roc
ords. with numerous industrials and spe
dailies.
lnlted States Steel was hammered down
to 79, within a fraction of Its minimum
for two years. In the last hour, but met
with good support, rallying almost two
points and closing at 81 , off halt a point,
other leaders benefitted by the rebound In
Steel, final prices averaging 1 to 1, points
over lowest levels. Hales 780,000 shares.

REMOVED FROM
DISCOUNT LIST
Associated Retailers of Omaha
Vote to Take Away Ancient
Courtesy Extended to
Ministers of Gospel.
Preachers will no longer get dis
counts at the retail stores in Omalia
after January 1. The old commercial
courtesy extended to ministers of the
Rospel will be a thing of the past in
Omaha after January 1, 1918. At
least, it will be a thinsr of the past
at the 60 retail stores, members of
the Associated Retailers of. Omaha.
But preachers are not the only ones
who will suffer. Churches, lodges,
hospitals, out-of-town merchants,
dressmakers, politicians, oolicemen.
firemen, theatrical people, and all
others who have enioyed the privilege
of a little discount in making their
purchases at the stores, will after
January 1, pay full amounts for their
800(1 s.
Sixty Sign Pledge.
The Associated Retailers of Omaha,
at their monthly meeting Thursday,
settled this question. I hey went on
record on the matter with an impos
ing resolution, and (0 of the biggest
retail firms in the city have signed
the pledge.
Retailers estimate that- this custom
of granting a discount to a certain
class of people has been costing the
retail merchants of Omaha easily
$10,000 per month, or $120,000 a year.
l hey now propose to stop this leak
age and to give tho benefit of the
saving to their customers.
"The old system." said one retailer
"was not only unbusinesslike, but it
was "unfair to the regular customer
who paid full price for what he
bought. The discount was charged to
expense. 'and was counted in as cart
of the legitimate expense of the busi
ness." Is War Time Measure.
Then the retailer planned that his
business- must pay him a certain per
cent of profit on the balance of the
stock which was sold at regular
prices. To stop this old discount priv
ilege is in line with the recommenda
tions of the national war economy
board."
The association instructed the sec
retary also to write the Commercial
club of Omaha, asking that body to
urge the manufacturers, wholesalers
and jobbers among its membership
to refrain from selling at retail.
Endorses Red Croat.
In regard to the Red Cross sticker
campaign, the association voted the
following resolution:
"Whereas, It is the desire of the
Red Cross society to obtain money
to carry on the work they are en
gaged in and at the same time install
into the minds and hearts of the
Omaha buying public thoughts and
feelings of patriotism, and,
"Whereas, The Red Cross society

of Omaha has requested the member
ship of this association to purchase

may carry home with them, thereby
saving the c ist of delivery, and. ,
"Whereas, The membership of the
Associated Retailers of Omaha, wish
ing to co-operate to the fullest extent
with the great work being done by
the Red Cross society; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we recommend that
all our members purchase from the
Red Cross society stickers, which
cost 1 cent each, and place one sticker
on each package that is carried home
by the customer. In order that the
spirit of patriotism may be shared in
by both the buyer and the seller, we
recommend further that slamps shall
not be used unless requested by the
purchaser."
The government thrift stamp move
ment was heartily endorsed 'and it
was recommended that the members
of the association who are in the
habit of giving their employes Christ
mas presents, if possible this year,
make the gift in thrift stamps, which
may be purchased at 25 cents per
stamp. In a large number of cases
the employes, it was pointed out,
would add to these stamps until they
get the amount necessary to convert
them into a war savings certificate. '
