though In the east the moderation of tem-nt-atures
has brought welcome relief and

rVnalns considerable hesitation nearly
everywhere, because of exluting doubts as to
future economic changes, and severe storms
ln the west have seriously hampered busi
ness. ...
From an operating standpoint the gen

fortunately been extended at a time when

Cattle There was the usual very moder.
a(e Friday's run of cattle, 94 loads, 3,000
head, but the five d.y. supply of $7,800
head shows an Increase of fully 11,000 over
last week and of 1,600 head as compared
with the corresponding five days a year
ago. Owing to the extremely cold weather,
the very moderate supply on sale and the
batter ton to advices from eastern markets,
the market was fairly active right from
th Start and Price for both beef steers
and butcher stock fully steady with. Thurs
day. For the week, t owever, values show
declines ranging all the way from 35c to
50e, th bmnt of the decline falling on
the slain steer and on the fair to good
cows. Blockers and feeders have been In
limited supply .and very good demand and
about steady most of the week, although
tne rough weather for the last fsw days
has been responsible for the rather weak
close of th market.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Absence of Speculative or Pub
lic Interest Accounts for Re
versal During Course of
Market.
New York, Jan. 11. Reactions of 1 to
almost 4 pelnta In those Issues which com
prise th bulk of the dally dealings accom
panied the alugglst course of today's stock
market.
The sttbaek waa most pronounced In the
last hours when steels, equipments and
rails registered lowest levels. Absence of
speculative or public Interest probably ac
counted as much as anything for the re
versal, bears availing themselves of this
negatlv condition to engage in new com
mitment. In part, preasur against Industrials was
prompted by report that various corpora
tions wero contemplating new financing,
th unexpected $13,000,000 not lasue of the
American Can company, being cited aa a
Case in point.
Peace rumors were also a contributing
factor, although neither foreign exchangu
nor the foreign bonds showed any change
aside from th break In Russian Issues.
.United State Steel recorded a net loss of
2V4 points, its decline being coincident with

Light.
Omaha, Jan. 11, 1918.
Continued liberal receipts were In evldenoe
today, a total of 234 cars being reported.
This, however, was In excess of actual num
ber of Inspections, several cars being frose
up. Lighter receipts will doubtlessly be
noted It the extreme cold which prevails
throughout the entire corn belt continues
for any I ngth of tlrn as tt la a serious
drawnback to the railroads ln the handling
of frclsht. The Baltimore Ohio announces
that all carloads will be embargoed, which
are to bo stopped or held in cars for re
consignment or diversion.
The bulk of the arrivals this morning
were eorn, 181 cars of thia cereal arriving,
which shews that Inferior holder ar let
ting loose of their soft corn without any
waste of time, when the cars are available
to ship In.
Th cash article was In fairly good de.
mand, the bulk of which went to elevator
men. Several cars of the No. 6 and aample
grades have been received daily of lata,
these undoubtedly being small lots which
different farmer have been unable to dta
pose of heretofore, on acoount of lack ot
ears. Cash quotations were generally 2c to
4o lower, and It Is th fixed opinion of the
trade that values will work lower with so
much peace talk ln the air. No. 3 white
brought $1.40 and No. 4 white $1.62 and
$1.66. No. 3 yellow sold at $1.60 and the
No. 4 grade at $1.60. No. 4 mixed sold at
$1.45 and $1.46.
Oats were off fractionally, this ceres)
being qudUd unchanged to o lower, with
a rather light demand, buyers not being
over anxious to taks any amount of grain,
due to the uncertainty of shipping possi
bilities at present. No. 3 white sold at
7o and standard grade oats at 79c,
No. 3 white oat brought 79c and 79o,
and the No. 4 white. 79c.

knowledge that on account of multiplied

Oat showed decided strength owing
chiefly to th failure of peaoe talk to be

Provisions sympathised wtlh the strength

Fiction.
WEST IS WEST. By Eugene Mnnlove
Rhodes. The H. K. Fly company. Jt.tO.
This is a romance of the miners
and the cattle lands of Arizona and
New Mexico; and epic of work; a
prose poem of the crystalline peaks
and amethyst skies. A story of the
only aristocracy we have worth
speaking of the men who do Ihings,
who take no orders, because none
are necessary, and who look you in
the eye because they are what they
are.
CABIN FEVER. By B. M. Bowor. Little,
Brown ft Co. $1.35.
How Budd Moore and his wife,
Marie, fared through their attack of
"cabin fever" how they suffered and
strove and developed is the theme
of B. M. Bower's new story. That
it gives a true picture of the west,
that its characters are human and
well-defined, that its story interest is
strong, will be taken for granted
by those who are familiar with this
author's tales.
HTS OWN HOMF TOWN. By Harry Evan.
Th H. K. Fly company. $1.40.
This is the story of an under-dog
who could not make good in the
city at first and went back to the
town that had reviled him, to prove
himself a man. The entire story is
a mature, finished picture of life in
our mid-western states and woven
into it the romance of a truly wonder
ful woman.
THE WOLF CUB. By Patrick and Terenc
Caaty. Little, Brown ft Co. $1.40.
Jacinto Quesada, the wolf cub. is
a poverty-stricken mountain lad with
a genius for leadership, of superior in
telligence and such courage and dar
ing that his feats as a highwayman
have made him the most famous
"bandolero" in all Spain. Rut when
Jacinto abducts Felicidad, the daugh
ter of the hidilgo, Don Jaime, when
she is eloping with a rascally French
man, he finds other keen and brave
men matched against him. Man
against man they call on all their in
dividual resources, until this par
ticular tangle in Quesada's career is
straightened.

HOW TO BE A SOLDIER. By Brainless
Bates. A. M. Davis Company. 36 cents.

graph. A lot of foolish stuff about a
soldier's life in camp. As the introduc
tion says, "The most unauthoritative

information ever published.
WHAT 18 FAIR. By 'William a. Raymond.
John Wiley ft Sons.
This is a study of some problem!
of public utility regulation and is
presented as containing the out 'loud
thinking of one student of business
relationships, who has been trained as
theories and to try to make theories
agree with facts, and who is trying,
to be fair in his judgment of human
questions that cannot be settled by
the application of fixed formulas.

CROSS IN DISASTER RELIEF. By J.
Byron Deacon. Russell Sage Foundation,

nadoes, which, if taken promptly can
?reatly reduce the loss and suffering,
low many know what to do before
hand, what to do at the time, what to
do latter? It is all here with no words
wasted.
