CHICAGO , April IC.-Aftcr nn early adVance -
Vance on heavy short covering today wheat
weakened on the liberal shipments from
competing countries and closed unchanged
for May. May corn closed at ' , c lower ,
May oats V o lower and provisions at
Blight declines.
The news received by cable this morning
was BO decidedly bearish that jirevlous to
the oM > nlng of the session a decline In
wheat for the day seemed Inevitable. That
was the Impression on the curb previous
to the start , OOUc being this quoted value
then of May , compared with Wj\kc as the
market was coming to a close yesterday.
When trading commenced up stairs so much
Was found to be wanted at G0'ic and even
nt K-'HiC that very soon no ono would sell
nt any such prices. The result was that
Instead of nn expected break an advance
commenced which carried May price up
to Oi'ic. and It had no other apparent foun
dation than a panic among the May shorts.
Bt. Louis shorts. It Is said , covercil 2,000 , ' CO
bu. or more ot May wheat In the first hour
of the session and the local contingent were
not behind In the btiuggle with St. Louis
for a share of the limited offerings. Ihe
Liverpool cables quoted wheat ' , id higher
than that mniket closed on Thursday last
nnd such a small advancewns considered
n very Inadequate appreciation of the bul
lishness here. In addition to that the Kits-
Blun shipments of wheat for the week were
.i. bu. nnd tb Argentine shipments
2.010,000 bu. for the same tlmo. The weather
for the coming crop on thlH continent wn
most favorable ami It was In life face ol
such n combination of In nrlshness that the
advance alrtndy noted occurred. Thp offset
was tbo comparatively small domestic re
ceipts nnd the gradual reduction of the
elevator stocks , liradstreet's usual state
ment of tli-- weekly changes ot stocks in
this nnd other countries showed that , not
withstanding a decrease In the United
States nnd Canada of " , &S7OiK ) bu. , the In
crease of stocks nlloat for Kurope reduced
the amount of the world's decrease for the
week to 1,067 , )0 ) bu. The amount on pas
sage for the 1'nlted Kingdom nnd continent
Increased 1.2SOMO bu. since a week ago
Minneapolis and Duluth lucelved 17 cars
compared with 3C5 cars n year ago. Ex

little ' ver SUU.UJU bu. The closing cables
reported advances of ln c per bu. at Paris
nnd from Uc to I'ic at Herlln. The mar
kct here ruled weak and lost In the end al
that was galn'd earlier , closing with sellers
nt GG'.fco for May.
Corn was active In spots at wide Inter
vals , but was weak the greater part of th <
tlmo. May opened at 45Tir , sold at 45c , ther
advanced toIG'.ic. . selling down later t (
45'/.c and closing at from IHHc to I5c. Re
celpts were 191 cars nnd 125 are estimated
for tomorrow. In addition to the rail re
celpts , 20,100 bu. en me In by steamer. Thi
primary receipts were 131,000 bu. , comparei
with 303,000 bu. a year ago.
Oats attracted but little attention. Trad
Ing consisted almost entirely of small scalp
Ing and local covering. Fluctuations wen
confined to a narrow range and an easj
feeling was Influenced by the weakness li
wheat. Mav sold from 28'ic to 2S-Tc , ant
closed at sSVfcc. July ranged from 2i"c ti
27HC , clorlng at the low price , at which re
celpts were given.
Pork advanced lOc per bid. , but then
was an evident desire to sell at the ad
vance , and when wheat broke provision :
followed suit nnd left pork In the end a
n decrease for the day of lOc per bbl. Lnrc
nnd ribs pursued a similar course , beliif

OMAHA OL'NKItAL MAIIKKT.
Condition of Trudo nnd Oiintatloiu on
btnplo nnil I'linoy Produce.
The refusal of the OKI : market to break con-
tlnuea a source of annoyance tcj the cold storage
people. The high price of beef nnd the Easter
trade created n demand that kept prices up
pretty well last week. Chicago Produce says
that the largo buyers have persistently refused
to purchase eggs for storage nt the prices rullntr.
Ono laigo concern turned down offers to sell
represented In a stack of telegrams nearly two
Inches high In two days. Others fulloned the
lead , nnd the laiger tOilppcrs of the west dis
posed of their efies through other channel * . A
great many placed them In Btorage upon their
mvn account , piefvrrlng to carry them lather
than In make c < nresslonii.
In addition tohat has been put In storage
by ( he large outside dcalem , a good many com
mission ineichants nljtiK the. Btieet have put
eggs anay. Hut they have only taken Block
when It could bo purchasid a t-lindc below the
maiktt In most Instances , or at least where they
Bei-uiu cxtritordliuilly fine eRgs for the money.
Of course the cgijs c mlng RI picsmt me very
line , and are cool \\Hnthfr eggs , which makes
them attractive to deulcts who have a place
with their regular trade to put such eggs duilng
the ojnilng fcnEon.
The large ilei\lei ot this point who have
refuird to buy nt the iiilniK IlKiirt-s have , ns n
matter of necessity , refused to sell , hnvlnx noth
ing to offer , nnd have lulvlbed their custumets to
holil off until nfier Easier. The majority have
rtini'Unled to ilo this , but at the same time
the present llbeial reci-ljits have found their way-
out uf the market In tome minner , and In the
I'hlcaK" maiket It has been fully ns dllllcult to
buv na to sell nt the pi Ices quoted.
The taixe dealetH claim that unices they are
nble to buy eggs at reasonable llgute , there
will lie no money In the husincKi for them this
> ear. With n louer Canadian tiiiiff , nnd gvicral
liu lnes. ( depiction , they ( in not sre how It Is
possible tn get imy better prices th.in wcie ob-
talneil last year , nnd lapt sf-ason B maiglns
wete so close ng a rule that It wjuld nut ha\c
been possible to have made any money on the
Investment had the eggs not been bought nt
the low prices tullng. They also expect that
KUinmor and full pioiluellun will be heavier
this year because of the light Bprlng production
up ti > the llrst uf this munlh , nnd cite this as
another reason why extraordinary care should
bo exercised by eueculatois In their operations
thla 5 ear.
On tlio other hand the bulls In the market
claim that the rapid advance In beef , aid the
extremely high prices now ruling nnd likely
to rule during the year , will make a Kicater
demand for eggs for tnlile purposes. Hut even
the most sanguine In this respect admit thai
this la n pretty uncertain foundation up n which
In speculate.
In New York the Impression prevails that
eggs will I * stored nt a higher llgurc than lasi
year. There nre FO many speculators there , our
advlees say. desiring to Invest , that It does nol
appear possible now that the market can rule
ns low ns a year ago. At the tame time there
Is no reason suggi'ste , ! why It tthouM rule higher ,

TUESDAY , April 16.
The receipts today numbered 1,066 cattle ,
3,178 hogs nnd no sheep , ns against 1,932
cattle , 1,175 bogs nnd 216 sheep yesterday
and 1S > 77 cattle , 4,702 hogs and no sheep on
Tuesday of last week.
CATTLE Out of the eighty-four fresh
loads of cattle reported In the yards there
were eleven loads that were consigned direct
to a packer and were not offered on the
market. There wns a train of heavy Cali
fornia beeves nnd another train of the
Sparks cattle from Nevada. There were
only four or live loads of cornfed native
cattle In the yards. The market was very
active nnd It seemed hard work for buyers
nnd sellers to come together on a trading
basis. There was no strength or snap to the
trade , and the best that could be said of It
was that prices remained about steady with
yesterday. A few natives brought $5 and
$5.20 , while the train of Nevada cattle went
at $1.63. Some lighter Wyoming nnd Idaho
steers sold at $1.35 and $1.40. and some little
New Mexican steers nt $3.UO.
There were about eight loads of cows nnd
heifers In the yards , nnd with the demand
good the offerings were practically nil taken
before 9 o'clock In the morning. It wns a
good strong ami active market. Some Colorado
rado cows brought $3.GO , while native heifers
Bold at $1 and even ns high as JI.&O for ono
bunch. Cow stuff Is selling relatively higher
than steers , and the market Is much more
active and In a far more satisfactory condi
tion.
tion.Tho
The fresh receipts of stockers and feeders
were not large and ns noted yesterday
there wns a better feeling prevailing In the
market. The outplde buyers have cleaned
up the yards pretty well , nnd It would be
safe to quote desirable feeders as a little
stronger. The trade today was fairly active
and qulle a good many cattle changed bands
before the close. Representative sales :

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARiMLKSS REMEDY
Yut It Cures tlio Worst Canci of
and IiiillguHilon.
Dr. JentilEon , who 1ms made a life study of
stomach troubles , says : All forms ot Indigestion -
digestion really amount to the tame thing ,
that Is , failure to completely digest the food
eaten , no matter whether tbo trouble Is acid
dyspepsia oV BOUP stomach , belching of wind ,
nervous dyspepsia or loss of Mesh and appo-
tltt ; a person will not have any of them 1C
the Btonmcli can bo Induced by any natural ,
harmless way to thoroughly digest what Is
eaten and this can bo done by a simple
remedy which I have tested In hundreds ot
aggravated cases with complete success. The
remedy la a combination of fruit and ve e-
table essences , pure aseptic pepsin and golden
seal put lu the form of pleasant tasting tablets -
lets and sold by druggists under the name ot
Sturart'i Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two
of these tablets should bo taken after meal a
and allowed to dissolve In the mouth and
mingling with the food In the stomach dl-
gesU It completely before It hag tlmo to
ferment , decay and sour.
On actual experiment ono grain of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three- thousand
grains of meat , eggs and similar wholetoino
foods.
It IB safe to cay , If this wholesome remedy
was better known , by people generally , It
would bo a natural blessing , ai we are a
nation of dyepeptlcs , and nine-tenths of all
dlseabes owe their origin to Imperfect dlges-
tlon and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret'
patent medicine , but a fifty cent package will
do more real good for a weak stomach than
fifty dollars worth of patent medicines and
a person has tbo satisfaction of knowing just
what he la putting Into his ttomach , which >
ho does not know , when widely advertised V
patent niedlcliu-n are used ,
