for fancy hoavy cattle. .On the short fed
and warmed up steer the demand was not
at all active from any quarter and prices
were no. better than on Monday. It was
the same way with cow and heifers, the
good to choloe grades finding a ready sale
at so ewhat stronger prlcea and the ordi

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,
Better Weather Tend to Ease Corn; Fore
cast of Snow -I Offset,
Chicago, 111., Jan. 29, Better weather to
day tended to ease the corn market, but
predictions . of - more anow and of lower
temperature acted later as a virtual offset
Prices' closed unsettled, March 31.27 and
May $L25 with the finish a a whole rang
ing from, o off to o advance, compared
with 24 houra before. . Oats lost c to lc
The outcome in provision varied iron) to
decline to a rise of 22 cent. ,
Hope of an Increase of arrival seemed
to be generally entertained In the corn trade
at the outset. Large amounts of corn Were
aald to be In transit from the country and
certain' to make thetr appearance as soon a
railway Impediments had been more fullyi
removed. The fact, however,- that receipt
still remained comparatively small operated
to reduce selling preasure, and make prices
responsible, later to a. forecast of now storm
and another cold wave Attention waa given
also to reports that corn was wanted at the
seaboard although -traffic difficulties ren
dered the prospect of immediate shipment
east a slim one. ' .
' Oat reacted sharply from th continuous
advance of the laat five day. Talk of a
likelihood of maxlmui.1 . ce limit formed a
noticeable bearish factor.
Provision .averaged higher with hoga,

GRAIN SAMPLES
YIELDHEAT SUM
But It Is $3,000 a Year,
and Not Per Month, as
Printer Made The
Bee Say.
A ilip of the types in the morning
edition of the The Tuesday's Bee
made it appear that the inspection
department of the Omaha Grain ex
change is a money maker of no mean
froportions, whereas, according to
ienry T. Clarke, attorney for the ex
change, this department, standing
alone, does riot pay expenses. The
department is run on business prin
ciples, but due to increase in wages
paid to employes, etc., the receipts
from all sources do not take care of
the expenses.
In a story of the disposition of
grain samples that go to the inspec
tion department for grading purposes,
it was stated that the revenue from
their sale netted the exchange $5,000
to $10,000 a month. To make an
analysi of this it would be readily
seen that on this basis, the inspection
department would be taking 10.000 to
20,000 bushels of good grain each
month, using it in the sample room for
the establishment of grades and then
selling it at the elevators.
On its face it was apparent that
there was an error, but somehow the
figures slipped into type, the type into
the paper and the paper went out to
its thousands of readers. Then there
came a food of protests. Grain ex
change men said there was nothing to
it and shippers wanted to know what
logical reason could be advanced for
taking such large quantities of grain
for sampling purposes.
The upshot of the whole matter is
that a correction is hereby made and
these are the facts as thev exist. All
grain coming to the pmaha market is
sampled.' This is a rule that applies
with all grain markets. From each
carload of grain, regardless of the
kind, a sample is taken. There is a
little more than a quart in each sam
ple. The sample goes to the inspec
tion department, where the grade of
the car so sampled is fixed. On this
grade sales are made and prices fixed.
Applying mathematical rules to the
sampling, the grain used by the in
spection department of the Omaha
Grain exchange, when sold, fetches

lf a Gay Life, Says
U. S. Marshal Flynn
When United States Marshal
Flynn was awakened from, slumber
Monday night bj the ringing of his
telephone he leaped into his dress
ing gown and rushed to tha phone,
expecting that a riot had broken
out or a nest of spies had been un
earthed. "Hello," said the voice. "We
want you to settle an argument
Hasn't capital punishment been
abolished in Nebraska?"
The marshal is man of genial
temper, but he responded to the
query of the cracker box "argifier"
with few well-chosen remarks
about people who disturb the sleep
of the virtuous at such unearthly
hours.
NASH IS BACK FROM
SNOW BOUND EAST
Says That There Is Plenty of
Merchandise, But tha Trou
ble Is in Getting
It Here.
Louis C. Nash, vice president of
the Bu'gess-Nash. Company, returned
from New York and the east where
he has been with several of his buyers
on a spring buying trip, after quite an
eventful trip and plenty of experiences.
"It certainly was quite an exper
ience' taid Mr. Nash. "I never for a
moment had any idea of what I was
? ruing into when I left here on the
ltli of the month. We had not gone
very far out of Omaha, before we
began to encounter the big drifts and
the first thing we knew we were snow
bound at Clinton, Iowa, ami it took
us five days to get to New York.
"Then on top of it all, after we got
to New York and were getting in
shape to do our buying, along came
the ordes by the government for a
five day shut down of all manufactur
ing plants. That of course handi
capped us but then we were no worse
off than any one else down there."
Plenty of Merchandise.
"Yes, there is plenty of merchandise,
but the big question is when will you
get it, owing to the present shipping
Congestions. And the tendency of the
manufacturers seems to be to favor
thos who have been prompt in paying
their tills, and whese credit is the
very best. We bought quite liberally,
taking everything into consideration,
confining ourselves mainly to the
more staple lines.
"I ws mighty glad to see the
Saturday night closing brought about,
and I hope the stores will never go
back to staying open until 9 o'clock.
Its beer, the desire and wishes of the
Burgess Nash Company ever since
we've been in business to see this
brought about.
"Omaha Is to be congratulated on
its wonderfully seccessful War Sav
ings Stamp drive, having the fifth
largest returna for any city in the
United States.
"But coming back to the merchan
dising conditions of the country
merclnndising this year will require
more tact, diplomacy, and more care
ful stu'ly than. ever. But we must
keep business g'ing, not in the old
wasteful way not by the foolish
spendirg of money regardless of what
it buys and what it destroys, hut for
the natural reasonable requirements
of good living especially on the part
of people who have the 'money to
spend.
