Opening trades In wheat were at from > J
toio decline , and after selling up from 'A
to ' , < - ' , sold with little reaction , ralllei
fillKlitly , changed Fome and closed near tli
bottom. Operators were considerably dls
appointed at the tone of tlio cables , whlcl
failed to confirm the damage reports li
France and Germany , also the heavy Haiti
Khlpmcnts , small exports and light cash do
innnd. Tlio trade was also moro Inclined to
the belief that the late cold spelt had done
very little damage. The absence of uny good
outside buying was also a factor. Offering
were heavy the first few minute * after th
opening and were quite readily absorbed
the market holding fairly steady , but lateen
on , when the selling pressure got fairly
tinder way , the market promptly respondei
to the pressure und became very weak , ral
lying slightly and closing firm.
In corn a fairly steady tone prevailed
prices fluctuating within from lie to % c
range. Opening trades showed frantlona
loisea , and after selling down from ' /4c to
J/4c , rallied from I4c to % c , worked bad
from IJo to 9 c , ruled firmer , changed some
nnd closed steady. The car lota were heavier
than anticipated and were responsible for the
early decline. The rally was attributable
to the movement and the light estimates for
tomorrow , but when wheat broke corn sym
pathlzcd and part of the rally was lost.
In oats there was a liberal trade , thu feature
turo being the small offerings. Barly the
feeling was easier , with Kales at from ' /&c t <
Jic decline. Later prices advanced % c am
closed steady at from % c to ' 4C better for
the near and steady toic higher for the
distant deliveries. The weakness In whca
and corn had little effect.
Provisions ruled firm , steady to easy , am
fillghtly lower In the absence of support
The decline In wheat contributed to the
easiness. With the continued weakness In
wheat , liberal receipts of live hogs In the
west and the absence of any active support
thu market cased off steadily and at the
close was weak , with the final figures at
about the Inside prices of the day , and the
range very narrow all around. Comparei
with last night , July Is lOc , July lard 12 > , o
nnd July ribs Cc tower.
Vessel room was In fair demand nnd rate ?
steady at lc for wheat and V/to for corn
to Iluffalo , lOo for corn to Port Huron am

MINNEAPOLLS. May 22. The wheat marker
opened higher this morning , with someihln ? of
yesterday's excitement and advanced % c more ,
making about Ic rise from the close of yester
day , lly that time there was n disposition on
the part of holders of wheat to close out a parl
al least of their holding * * . This checked further
advance and more selling followed by them ,
which wns added to by shorts selling Instead of
buying morn and the market rapidly declined
and closed ' /fce lower than yesterday. Mny and
July , 67lc : September , & 5Jc ; on track , No. 1
hard , Clc ; No. 1 northern. OaHc ! No. 2 northern ,
f > Sc. Cash wheat closed nearly % c below the
previous day. The cash sales were made malnlv
before the decline nnd broughl uhollt Ihe trnme
price ns yesterday on the average. Lower cables
this morning , with largo shipments reported
from the Ilaltlc nnd small exports from the Al-
lanllc ficalxmrd. were the leading causes of the
day's decline.'Heports , too , of the damae rc.-cntly
done by frosts In the winter wheat country were
less sensational , and In many cases the damage
previously reported was denied bj' other parties
from the same locality. If there had been any
supporting orders here Ihe decline would have
been less , nnd there were no large lines selling
out. The bulk of the wheat here Is owned by
parties who show no disposition to unload It.
The sales that were made were by parties
who are not extensive holders , bul there being
a large number of these small holders , the ag
gregate of their sales brought about Ihe large
decline for the dny. Wheat Is marketing rather
freely In the country and tends to lessen very
much Hie reduction In Interior elevator supplies.
Ilccelpta for the day were 110,2SO bu. ; shipments ,
22,320 bu.
The Hour market was quiet , with sales re
ported about equal to the production for the
day , which amounted to some 31fli bbls. The
Hour market was quoted at $3.3."i(3. ( & ) for patents ,
with a few sales made at Jll.rbakers' ; , } 2.0."W
2.30. Shipments nf Hour were 33,910 bbls. , slightly
In excess of the production for the day.

NEW YOIIK. May 22.Tlic stock tnnrket
was again active today , but the speculation
was unsettled In tone , and AS a result ol
tlio day's transactions prices arc about
equally divided between advances and de
clines , At the opening the innrket wns
firm , tlio dealing being principally In the
Industrials. Chicago Qas und Sugar held
the most strength. Union Pacific , which
declined % per cent , and Louisville & Nash
ville , which receded ' , per cent , were the
( inly exceptions to the upward tendency un
til about 1030 ; , when .Sugar , which had ad
vanced 1 % per cent , gave signs of weaken
ing , and on heavy sales declined 1 % per
cent. The depression In llioso shares raunr-d
n celling movement In thn general Hat , re
sulting In a fractional decline therein. There
was a. rally before 11 o'clock , led by To
bacco , which made a gain of 1 % per cent ,
Sugar advancing 1 % per cuirt. but finally
reacted % per cent , und the rest of the mar
ket nguln took a downward turn , Cotton
Oil leading this time , with n loss of 1 per
cent. The decline was checked by thu re
ceipt of buying orders , which again moved
prices upward. Sugar advanced 3 % per cent
to 100. The whole market continued strong
until about 1 o'clock , when General Klectrlc
fell off 1 % per cent and the rest of the mar
ket a fraction. This was followed by an
Improvement , but during the lute uftornoon
the market was very irrcgufnr. Sugar broke
2'A per cent and rallied 1 % per cent , and
the mnro active shares fluctuated within
narrow limits. In the final dealings gener
ally a better tone prevailed and the market
closed strong. The bond market was easier
In tone during the early dealings , became
Irregular during the afternoon nnd closed
unsettled.
The Evening Post says : The advance In
prices on the Stock exchange today was not
of any particular reassuring character. It
was the outcome largely of renewed manipu
lation , nnd In the Industrial stocks which
led the movement had the flimsiest basis
possible. Sugar certificates , for today , were
relieved from the recent pressure. Ono par
ticular block offered for Inside llquldatbn
went up 2 points on the offhand remark of
a single senator that the tariff bill would
pass the senate as It stands.

. The two days' receipts show an Increase
In all kinds of sto'OH''ns compared with sup-
plica for tlio first two tlays of last week.
In cattle und sheep It lias been slight , but
there have been nearly 3,000 more hogs ,
Thcro were lots of. cattle hero and the
quality was good , The supply wns heavier
than It has been tor flvu weeks , and all
buyers , but especially the dressed beef men ,
started In to fill their orders nt n oliarp de
cline from Monday's prices. Light supplies
cast ami steady to strong markets there
had n reassuring Influence on sellers , and
as eastern butchers ntul speculative shippers
commenced taking hold freely the movement
became livelier , "and although Cudahy was
the only ono of the dressed beef men to
make much of n hustle , sellers were not
compelled to give their cattle away by nny
means. Good , handy beeves and right
cholco heavy cattle sold very nearly ns well
as on Monday , but on most other grades
shaded prices were the rulo. In some cases
cattle sold n nlchtl lower , In others salesmen
had to take oft n dime. It all depended
on quality , the supply being heavy , and the
better grades sold first , while the common
grades were moro or less neglected. Taking
the heavy run In consideration. It wna n
very good market all around , and prac
tically everything sold and In very good
season.
With all the big cattle supplies there
were less than n dozen loads of cows In
the yards. The market was fairly active
nnd generally steady nil around. Calves
sold n shade easier on account of ample
receipts , but the market for rough stock
of nil kinds was brisk anil strong.
Yard traders bought most of the stock
nnd feeding cattle nt stendy to n shade
lower prices. Tlio continued dry weather
has hurt the pastures some and not many
country buyers are looking for supplies.
Good to choice feeders are quoted at from
$3.20 to $3.05 , fnlr' to good nt from $3 to
$3.15 , nnd the commoner grades at from $3
down. Representative sales :

K.il Over Mis Origins ! Coimiiiiillty-I'l-
trnt to Wnlch Pcopln Are Deceived
ceived- Snip * In ttnmlm.
The dispatch from Wnfctilr.ci.m , printed In
The Dec jc.i'trday , giving nn uutllnc of
Senator M.uidersou's buttcrlnc bill , created
a good de,11 nf dlscuss'.on among the whole-
snlojjuycrs and shippers of butter In tlila
city. Uutturlno Is the "thorn In ( lie llcsh"
of the butter men , nnd anything said In Its
favor or uny proposed legislation ( ending lo
help It Into consumption could not ucll
escape their condemnation. At the List
session of the legislature tlir butler men of
the state united nnd made n Rtiong effort to
hnvo measures passed that wnuld put n ft 111
greater obstacle In the way of btittorlno.
Some wctc In favor of u law compelling the
coloring In pink of nil buttcrlnc offered for
sale In the state , ns Is done In some casfrn
states. Such n law amounts practically to
prohibition , ns no one would think of using
pink butler , The Nebraska legislature ,
however , failed to take nny action In the
matter , nnd all the protection that the
dealers In this state have Is the national
law Imposing n tax of 2 cents per pound un
Imitation butter.
Uvfore the national law governing the sale
of Imitation butter went Into effect buttcrlno
was sold In the markets of the country as
butter. The fraud was even carried so far
as the putting up of Irregularly simp d rolls
In exact Imitation of the rolls of butter iniul ?
by farmers. Ono dealer In Omnha sold be
tween the 1st of October and December GO-
000 pounds of butterinc In this market nl n
profit of C cents per pound. There wns n
strong popular prejudice again : . * , uutterlnu ,
nnd the only way Hint It could be sold to
consumers wns to represent It us butler.
The profits In the business were so large
that there was every Inducement to carry on
the deception. Peddlers used lo disguise
themselves us farmers nnd sell buttcrlno
from house to house In the cities , represent
ing It as pure butter made on thflr farms.
A dealer In this city , who supplied many of
these Imitation farmers with butterlnc ,
noticed ono day that the fiuttcr on his tabte
had rather a familiar opp-nrance , und ho
asked his wife where It cume from , nnd was
Informed that an honest old farmer hud
been supplying her for several weeks. The
honest old farmer turned out to be onn of
her husband's butterlnu peddlers. It was
claimed at the time Hint some genuine
farmers practiced the deception. They
would buy buttrlno nnd take It home and
work It In with the butter of their own make
und sell It to the retail dealers nt butter
prices , thus realizing n handsome profit.
SUFFERING PUBLIC PIIOTESTBD.
The dairymen of the country started the
agitation nnd were backed up by the con
sumers , who did not like the Idea of eating
Imitation butter , nnd the present law plac
ing n tax of 2 cents per pound on butterlne
nnd oleomargarine was pushed through con
gress. The law also provided nmong other
regulations that all packages of butterlno
sold by retailers should bo stamped with the
word butterlne or oleomargarine.
When ths : Inw went Into effect the sale of
butterlnc ns butter wns largely stopped nnd
Imitation butter wns placed In n position
where It had to eell on Its m-rlts or not at
all. The fact , however , that the price of
butterlne was so much lower than butter In
duced boarding houses and hotels to buy It
very largely , and the consumpt'on was heavy
even when the law was vigorously enforced.
During the past two years the consump
tion of butterlne has Increased very rapidly
In this city , al least , nnd butter men claim
that It has been due to defects In the pres
ent United States law. It Is opejily asserted
that some retail merchants nrj In the habit
of selling butterlne for butter , but In a way
that would make a conviction Impossible. A
customer may ask for butter nnd the retail
dealer can show him butter and he can also
show him buttrlne , and It Is not the dealer's
fault If he selects the butterlne , which he Is
very likely to do , ns It Is the cheaper nm
has a good taste und nppenrnnce. lie docs
nol tell him Dial 11 Is butterlne nnd hcnco
does not break the Inw In that respect , nm
when he delivers the butter to the pur
chaser's house ho stamps the paper over
with the word "butterlne" according to law
At Ihe same time the color of his Ink am
paper are so nearly Ihe samu that no ono
would notice the stamping.
Butter men claim thai If It were nol for
bulterlnc there would be n goo.l market for
butter. At the pressht lime butter made
by the farmers of Nebraska Is bringing only
Gi cents per pound on track. This I
the price obtained for It by the country mer
chants who buy It from the farmers , so thai
the man who makes Ihe bultcr hardly gets
enough to pay for taking II to market. Even
at thcEo prices the local demand for butler
is light , nnd n largo proportion of It has lo
be shipped out of the state.
DO NOT LIKE THE DILL.
The butter business being In this condi
tion , dealers do not look favorably upon thai
feature of Senator Slandeison's bill reducing
the tax on butterlnc , which would give lhal
article a still further advnntnge over genuine
butter. They do approve of the provision
compelling both wholesnlers and retailers to
sell In the original packages only. Hero Is
what n few of the wholesale butter dealers
of Omaha hnve to say on the subject :
Chnrles Klrschbrnun , of the Klrschbrnun-
Haskell Produc ? Company I nm not In favor
of reducing the tux on Imitation butter , but
would prefer to see it raised , If anything , seas
as lo limit the sulo of It as much as possible.
Then I would like to have It put up In one
pound puckngES only , und each package
stamped with n revenue stamp , so that the
retailer could not deceive the consumer , as
Is done at present In nine cases out of ten.
Not to exaggerate , I should say that there
Is ns much buttcrlno ns butter consumed In
Omaha , nnd thai fully two-thirds of the people
ple using Imttfrlne believe II to bo butler.
If It were not for butterlno Omaha nnd the
other cities of Nebrnska would consume all
the good butler that Is mndo In tlio state ,
A. C. Illddell , of UlddMI & Co. I do not
bellevo thai Senator MnnJer on ever received
a letter from n fnrmer engaged In butter
mnklng that advised the reduction of the tax
on butterlne. In the winter season butter
cannot begin to compete with the Imitation
article even with a tax of 2 cents a sound
In force. To reduce this tux would still
further depress the buslnaa * .
James A. Clark , of James A. Clark & Co.
I think the butlr : proJucers and dealers of
Nebraska ought to get up a remonstrunco
and let Senator Mamlerson know where he
Is at. The tax on buttcrlno ought to bo
Increased , or elno taken off altogether , and
every ono bo allowed to make It. The
senator's Idea of compelling the sale of but-
torlno In original packages Is all right. At
the present lime nlnoly-nlno pounds oul of
every 100 sold In Omaha are sold for bultcr.
It Is hard work to detect the fraud , but the
fact Is there Is no ono trying lo detect It.
W.B. Illddell If congriBS will make a law ,
that cannot be evaded , compelling the sale
of buttorlnn as butterlno and do away with
the deceiving of consumers , that will bo all
that nny one can reasonably usk for. The
manufacturers have a light to make but-
terliio no long as It Is not Bold for butter.
It Is claimed by the manufacturers that but
terlno Is boiler than butter ; If no , let then )
upll It for what 11 Is on tin merits und the
butter men will not hesitate to meet them In
fulr competition , I would not cunt what the
tux wus If Senator Mumlerwoii would only
give us a luw that would prevent the stuft
from being sold ns butter.
II. H. Whitney , of Whitney & Co. The
feature of Krnator Mamlert > on'x bill limiting
the sale of butterlno to original packages U
a good Idea. However , I am not In favor
of reducing the tax on butterlne , un the
manufacturers are better able to stand It
than ore the farmers to suffer u still further
reduction In the price of butter. Duller
baa dropped down so low that there IB no
encouragement for farmers to make good
butter any more. An noon un cool weather
comes In the full butterlne shuts off fully
one-half of the demand for butler In this
city. Every fall the number of retail mer
chants who take out a license to sell but
terlno Increases. As an example of bow It
workH , a retail merchant wno had been buy *
Ing butter to the umouut of ? 1GK to $200 pel
mouth took otiv a licci.ic l : < l full to sell
biitlerlne. nnd ufu-r ( lint hm butter tend *
did not amount to m.ythliiK lift snlds
"Why , J n pd to b , elad ( o imxko 4flr cent ? )
per pound on butter but I nm now buyhiK
mittcrlne nt 12a ( cents per i.nund mid selling
It at IOJT22 oents. " Dutlirn3 ; could easily
pny n lax of r. cents per pound nnd mill
have all tin * ail\Hnlnio over butter In Um
mallnr of price , as it cmts so Illtlo to IIIRIIIH
facturp Jl. There Is no doubt but lanl n
wrge portion of the people nf Omaha who
think the > nro lulng bultcr nro In ro.-lll/
