CHICAGO , Mny 15. The chinch bus nnd the hMslan fly had another Inning In the wheat rnurkd today , scaring shorts ) nnd ndvnnclng the July price 2c. July corn gained Uc , July ontn Uo nn < l provisions made advances , nil In sympathy with \vhent. Wheat marie n somewhat nlmllar ntnrt to that on the day before. It opened wenli. with considerable pressure to sell , nt from > /4c to c below the previous day's closing price , ur.t ! almost Immediately thereafter a general deslra to buy quickly succeeded the contrary Impulse nt the opening. The ad vance , which started within halt a mlnuti of the opening , carried the price up from G5e for July , nt which n few sales were made , to' C0X.rand It fluctuated for half nn hour t"4 o between CO'/iC to CS'.tc. After that tliw buying was more general , nnd very soor. It became ulmost universal until the prlci ! hnd been advanced with t whirl to G75 c , which figure It reached In llttlo less than an hour from the opening. The weather was reassuring , the general temperature being low enough to suggest death to Infecti without being severe enough to do more tlmn check n too rank growth of restitution. The foreign markets , while firm , showed n rc'.uctar.ue In follow. Ing tlie com so of other things here , but thtro were numerous reportH of damage to crops by frost , chinch bug and hessliin Hies , nnd Khorts were forced to cover. It was said that Pnrdrldge covered a big line. The dally ptntlstlcal report was not of nn ex ceptional character. The northwestern re ceipts were smaller than a year ngo , but the total ot the primary receipts were larger. Mlnnenpolls-Duluth receipts , 122 cars , compared with 272 on the correspond ing day of the year before. Primary rmir- ket receipts altogether were 2SO.OOO bu. , ngalnst only ICZ.OOO bu. on the corresponding day of last week and 233,000 on the same tiny the year before , Export clearances of wheat nnd flour from Atlantic ports amounted to 3OT.OOO bu. , 172,000 bu. of which wan In the shape of wheat. Ono matter which may develop Into something sensa tional , Bhould It receive further confirma tion , wan pet haps not generally known In the pit during the session. Mllmlne , Hod man & Co. of New York wired their house here thnt they had received a dispatch from n. reliable firm In London to a good New York house saying there were fears of dam- nio from drouth being expressed from Odcs.'n. Kansas City wired that wheat was bringing 75o per bu. there. The crowd here did not dare sell any wheat short and every time they bought ft they had to ad vance their previous bids. July advanced to GSVic nnd GSVJc , and C8o was the trading price nt the close. Corn acted heavy , nnd hut for the great ritrcngth In the wheat market It looked as If It might have declined. In consequence of the advance of 2c In wheat , however , corn gained from 'Ac to ? c. The receipts were much too heavy for bullish enthu siasm , 417 cars being the day's rrcclptu , July optned nt from r > l ic to fii'.tc. droppe to Cl'/iP , advanced nfter that to SlOic. de clined again on the henry estimated re ceipts for tomorrow to f > lc , nnd rose to Sl'/nO near the close. In sympathy with wheat , resting nt from Kl e to 5U < ic. In onts business was very active , but n heavy feeling exlfted throughout. There WHS a weaker feeling In the cash market nnd the snmo wns extended Into the specu lative ciowd. Towards the close prices were firmed ur > slightly , but It was nil In sympathy with wheat and corn. June started nt 2SHc. sold nt from 28c to 28Vc , up to from 28 jc to 2SV4c. nnd closed at 28c bid.

At the opening the market was somewhat Irregular , but a sharp buying movement was quickly developed during the test of the day , a srong- : tone prevailing , prices moving upward steadily to the closing ; The final dealings were notably buoyant and the last sales , with a few unlmnottnnt changes , were made at an advance on yesterday's final figures nmglmr up tu 9 per cent , the Utter In Great Novthcm pre.'e : red. Tl e Influences which broi-c'.t about tha cha.igt ) of tuna In tha market urre the buying heie for the foreign account uml the successful negotiations In Umilun by J , I'lerpont Morgan for the rale of 45.000 shares of New York Central at an unnamed price , but which must have been below par. The stock sold was treasury stock. The l iance left In the treasury of the company when the capital stock was In- created to lloou ,000 , under the resolution author- lilng Its Issue , could not U * disposed of except at 100 tr over , Tlie um reallied Is to be usfd for construction and Improvement purposes. The street accepted the sale as a mark of renewed confidence In American securities , and the other leadlnir stocks. Including the rest of the Vander- bllt gii > up. the granger * , the coalers and several of the Industrials , came Into heavy demand and by degrrsa must of the list took part In the ap preciation In value. In the London market , too. them wns a sympathetic movement In American * , which had opened rather heavy , and this fact served to help the speculation here , which , of late , has been lookingabroad for much of Its support. Great Northern , which closed at IS ] bid last night , sold up to 132 on the reiort that 1'resldrnt Hill had secured the ocntrul of the Northern Pa cific railroad and would use It as a feeder ot the Great Northern. This stock wa * quoted at 100 on January 20. At the cloea roost of the active list fhowed advances , the hlsrhrst tleure being tVi per cent \Velli-Farno. . The trad ings In bond a was on a lareer scale than on y - tenlay ana thcr * wo * AA Vtttac * ot tiny itlllof pr * ur naln l .lit speculative Issues.

The Increajv * In other securities Is believed to be due to tin purchase of a large line of India treasury twelve-months hills. The Klock mnrket opened weak today. In sympathy with n further break In the mining maikct. dllllculty being fcaml nt the n xt carry-over. Americans , after n weak open ing , rallied sharply In sympathy with the Im portant rise In New Yotk Central , on reports Hint a syndicate , headed by Morgan , had taken over the balance of 6,000,000 shares. Prices rl < , td nt the best. Ontnrlcs were boughl by New Yorktrs. The other markets recovered In Miit > ftlhy with Americans. There was n panicky feeling In cupper on the break down of the comblnalioii , which wns enllrcly due to the American prtxlucers refusing at the lost moment to sign the contract. The report thnt the huro- pean producers were not absolutely unanimous about the restriction Is untrue. Inasmuch ns the Inlllathe In the combination came to America.

THURSDAY , Mny 1C. There wns n light run of cattle todny , a pretty good supply of hogs , nnd no sheep. In nil ninety-seven cnrs of stock nrrlved , bringing the supply BO fnr this week up to 3,015 cattle , 17,770 hogs nnd 1,729 sheep. This Is a decrease of nearly 1,000 cattle ns compared with last week , but nn Increase of over 8,000 hogs nnd 800 sheep. The supply of cattle -was light as to qunn- tlty nnd nothing extra as to quality. Ex clusive of several lends of southwestern cat tle that local killers bought at Kansas City Wednesday nnd received today , the offerings were not over 430 head. Instead of the light receipts stimulating the demand , buyers np. penred , If possible , more Indifferent nnd bearish than on Wednesday. Eastern re ports were not particularly encouraging and sellers went up against n dull , mean trade. It took considerable coaxing to get n bid , and , while the market could hardly be called materially lower , the general tone wns decidedly wenR , and cattle sold any where from 2oo to BOc lower than a week ngo. ngo.The market for butchers' nnd canners' stock was all right. Possibly n third of the entire olferlngs came under this head , and with the usual nctlve demand from local packer * , trade was brisk nnd prices ns a rule full strong. There was a good call for veal calves and the more desirable offerings In this line commanded stronger prices. Hulls , oxen nnd stags brought Just about steady figures. There was no Increase In the supply of stock nnd feeding- cattle todny. and appar ently no let up In the demand. Sellers found little difficulty In deposing of the rlpht kind of cattle at good , strong prices. Good stack ers are In particularly urgent demand nnd prices are comparatively high. Good to choice feeders nre quotable at J3.33fiil.OO ( ; fair to good , $3.00ff3.S3 , and common grades from $3.00 down. Representative sales : DRESSED HEEF. HOGS The Improvement both In the quantity nnd quality of the receipts of hogs thin week hns been ns marked us It .has been gratifying. Receipts todny were 1.000 heavier than Wednes day , and nearly three timed as heavy us a week ngo. The general quality was als > better nml the weights heavier tiian for e\ernl weeks. Husl- ness opened out slow an'd weak , wllh the feeling on all sides bearish nnd buyers having little trouble In getting IheU hoga at a flat 60 decline. Fair to fancy heavy and medium weight hogs sold at from J4.25 up to J4.40 , and poor to choice light nnd light mixed 'loan's ' nt from 14 to JI.30. Later reports from Chicago , however , caused general buyingnnd Jho close of the market wns nctlve nt full "Wednesday's quotations , nn early clearance being'mnde. .

LOS ANGELES , Cal. , May 12. To the Editor of The Eee : I was very much Inter ested In your May day Issue of Tlie Omaha Dally Dee , which some one had the kindness to send me. Whilst reading It reminiscences of those early years in the history of Omaha came flocking In upon my memory like pigeons to their nestlnp ; place at evening time. Their names simply , even If they had not written such Interesting letters , would have recalled most pleasant memories. Dut their letters gave us most vivid pictures of those early days. Mrs. Harriet E. Miller. Mrs. E. P. Evans , Mrs. A. J. Popphton , Mrs. Clara Kellom Adams and Mrs. M. W. Gaylord - lord take us backto the very earliest scenes In the history of Omaha. What changes and Improvements they have witnessed ! Mrs. Qaylord , the wife of the first Congregational minister of Omaha , Is now , It ree-nis - , almost a neighbor ( at Hedlands ) , and Airs. Clara Kellom Adams still nearer , both en joying the mild and llfe-lnvlgoratlng cli mate of this world-uneqtialed southern Cali fornia. Mrs. J. H. Kellom , th ? mother of Mrs. Adams , we hear from and see somewhat frequently. But Omaha Is well represented In and about Los Angeles. I remember , Mr. Editor , when you and your brother first came to Omaha , It was then but a little hamlet almost In Its natural state compared with the present. Your success In originating and building up The Omaha Dee has been quite phenomenal , and especially when we remem ber your old competitors , under the leadership of such able men aa Dr. George L. Miller and St. A. D. Dalcombe , verily. What improve ments time has wrought ! One- other name I saw In your May day Issue 'which recalled a family of the earliest pioneers. This young lady and her sisters were little girls In the Sunday school In my Omaha days. She se-ms to be quite a traveler. I think It was only about a year ago that I saw her In Los An geles , and now from her Interesting letter 1 see she has just bein up to visit the Great Shoshone Falls In the far north. Judging from her attractive letter , I w&uld affirm thai the 'wonders of nature have a great fastnatlon for Miss Ella Drackln. I suppose Rev. Mr. Kuhns Is still a resident of Omaha ; at Uast I had heard that he came back from the south and was making your city his home. He was the first , or among the first of the Lutheran ministers In Omaha. The great majority of those early settlers are now gathered on the other shore. Only a few remain of those who were In Omaha from 1854 to 1864. They have answered to the great roll call beyond , and eoon we shall all hear that call , and may God grant that In our coming thither we may all receive a blessed salvation from the Great Captain.

BONDS ALREADY PLACED FOR 83,000,000 , Several Ouurts tif nig Uuld NufrcflU I'lckod Up an Siutko lUvcr Iliir Amitlirr 111 ; ; Strike nt Cripple Ci-nolt Xu\v of tlit ) Xurthwot , There Is now a sure prorpcct that tlm Wyoming & Great Northern railway will be 'milt this cummer from Grand Junction , Colo. , to Green Itlver , In this state , says the Chey enne Tribune. President Carpenter has Just arrived ( rum the cast , and ho Is greatly con fident of the success of the now line , which lie says Is progressing finely , nml the funds will bo secured to continue the work of con struction this summer , for a distance of sixty miles at least. The bonds of the company liaru been pl.iced at $3,000,000 , and the money Is In the treasury for Immediate use. . There Is elgnltlcance In this , The placing of so largo an amount of bonds of a far western railway Is good evidence of returning con fidence In western Investments. It Is a sug gestion that money can be obtained for other enterprises. It Is a premise of business and Industrial revival. There has never been any real scarcity of money In the country. That grateful commodity lias always existed In ample abundance. The trouble has been that amid the financial wreckage and uncertainty Its holders have been afraid to risk It In business or In Industrial enterprises. The banks have feared to loan as In ordinary times , for fear of sudden demands from ap prehensive or alarmed depositors. As the holders of money regain the confidence to put It out again better times will come. Hence there Is a peculiar meaning In every Investment In railroads , In mines , In manu factures , or In trade that Is made. It Is evidence of the Improving conditions that bring bid : confidence. The building of the projected railroad In the western part of. Wyoming will have a reassuring effect. It will Improve the Indus trial and other business conditions. It will give employment to labor. It will create a market for material. It will start trade somewhat. It will put more money In circu lation , and will make the- securing of money for tto next enterprise In that locality a llttlo more easy. The construction of this road will also stimulate the development of the great and various resources of western Wyoming- and Colorado. FOIITUNE IN NUGGETS. The report of the finding of a large quan tity of gold nuggMs by a number of miners while at work on the Sturglll bar , Idaho , has aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among those who have always had unbounded faith In the richness of bars along the old course of Snake river , says the Portland Oregonlan. Sturglll bar Is located ten miles above the mouth of Powder river , on the Idaho ndo ! of the Snake , and was originally owned by a man named Perkins , who constructed the Sparta ditch , In Union county. The bar has been worked for years , and a large quantity of gold tak-n out , but not until the present season did the miners get Into the river so early. The finding of the nuggets has been fully confirmed by a letter received In Portland from Mr. J. A. Wright of Sparta , who writes that a peck or more of nuggets were picked up by the men at work. Only the nuggets wore taken , and as much more coarse gold Is said to be lying on the bedrock , which will be taken out when a clean-up of the sluices IB made. From rllable Information received by courier says the Sparta correspondent of the Baker City Democrat , "Sturglll bar" on Snake river , has for more than a quarter of a century been an annual producer of gold In paying quantities , and the opinion has pre vailed that som. . ? day some one would strike the coarse gold channel and take out gold by the hatful. The breast of the pay dirt , where two hydraulics have been working day and night , was ninety feet deep. Ths other day a large cave took placeat the upper end of the diggings , where Captain Ed Hoblnett was In charge of the nozzle , and as soon as the dirt that had fallen was washed away , Captain Roblnftt discovered that the rim of the bed rock rose up In front of him thirty feet high. As day was breaking he made an examination of the bedrock , and Imagine hla surprise as he saw at every point nuggets of all shapes and sizes. He called the other men , and together they soon filled the two-quart dinner pall and proceeded to the house of Messrs. Reed and Beezley , the owners. Careful ex amination has been made of the channel ex posed , and conservative estimates place the value of the coarse gold actually In sight at many thousand dollars , and the gold already picked up at $11,500. Everybody In this s c- tlon Is now looking for high bars and coarse gold channels on Snake river. IN DIG LUCK. Big strikes are chronicled almost every day In camp and occasionally a very big find Is heralded to the world from the greatest gold camp on earth. Bull hill has Its share of good things , but In the strike made on the Archer lease on the Lucky Guss , the famous hill has eclipsed Itself. About four months ago four Pueblo tenderfe-et secured a lease on the west end of the Lucky Guss , and as they had faith In the ground they went to work with a will and spent several thousand dollars delving In the ground for an ore chute , says the Cripple Crc = k Times. A roomy shaft house was built , which was equipped with a brand new hoisting plant. A vein was found , but the quartz was found to be barren , and after sinking to a depth of 153 feet , a drift was started along th > vein to the north , and after going ten feet from the shaft the long-looked-for ore chute was found. It has been entered fifteen feet and at least twenty-five tons of pay ore Is piled up In the ore bins ready for shipment. The vein Is known to be at least seven feet wide , as the hanging wall la nowhere In sight. Through the center of the chute there Is a streak fourteen Inches wide , and the lowest assay on It went $400 and the highest $3COO. It will easily run $1,000 per ton In carload lots. The balance of the big vein assays from $50 to $120 per ton without sorting. Th fortunate lessees are Thomas Crow , T. J. Brown , W. D , Jones and John Thomas , all officials of the steel works of Pueblo. GREEN RIVER PLACERS. n. A. Sparr , an old-timer and well known mining operator of Utah , has Just returned fro a month's trip to Upper Green river to Inspect the gold deposits of that country , says the Salt Lake Tribune. He states that the whole country north from Green River City , on the Union Pacific railroad , Is a great wash fifty miles wide and over 400 mlle-3 long , made by a glacier-flow years ago , as solid Ice can be found at a depth of twenty feet on most of the placer ground. Gold can bo found any where end everywhere In an ! along this wash. The gold Is fine , but clean and bright , and easily saved with proper machines. The ground Is spotted , as by testing from Plney up the river from twenty to 300 colors to the pan could bo obtained. The country Is covered with grass , and elk , deer , antelope , sage hens and rabblta abound and there are creeks In all directions. There are about sixty men on Upper Green river , or what la called Beaver Creek falls , an ! a few farther up at Fall River basin , Jackson Hole an 31 on the rim of the Teton basin , prospecting. Good reports came from there when Jlr. Spear left for home. He says there la no quartz In the hllU , as the whole country on both sides of the great wash Is sandstone and conglomerate , but In the wash can bo found onyx , quartz , flint , granite and slate that are polished smooth and have come a long distance. The gold Is found near and under the sagebrush ani gra.is roots and along the edges of the creeks and rivers , close down to the water's edge. With the gold Is black and ruby rand , and sometimes a green sand appears. No doubt some good paying de posits will be found farther up when the snow la off and the ground uncovered. Tt Is a wild country , but U lovely during the months of July , August and September. The route from Evanston via Opal , on the Oregon Short Line , up and through thin country to the great National Park during the months of Juno , July and August , would be the finest trip a person could take. PRODUCTION OF OLIVE OIL. In the future of thl9 tate the ollvo oil In dustry bids fair to bo an Important means of profit to ft very laifis number cl people , says the S.in I'rancltCA Call. Many new ollvs orchards nro belli ) ; planted. Ten yours1 Ago there wsi hardly uny ollvo oil nuilo In th * ktato. Today II la being mndo In every fruit * growing country. Nearly all the oil at pres ent Is prcxeJ by comparatively prlmltlvd mothol9 and nt places of tiroJudlon. Only a limited quantity Is exported , as the home con sumption has thus far been equal to the anpi ply. In fact , ollvo oil U not yet made hero lu commercial qunntlUiM. L. P. Rlxford , who hat had considerable ex > porlenco In ollvo growing In Sonoma county , states that at the lowest estimate from ( GO to $100 an acre can bo inndo off nn ollvo orchard. A large quantity of co-called ollvo oil Is Imported lutu this country. It Is perti nent here to mention tl.o fnct Unit In Italy there Is an enormous market for Amcrlcr.ii cottonwool oil. This Is mixed with ollvo oil md shipped back to tliU country as "genuine" olho oil. No adulteration-Ij practiced In California , and theollvo ull made hero can bo depended on as the pure article. Ollvo trc-es pay ix profit In this country nt the early age of four years , while In Huropt the time Is extended n couple of years. The ollvo tree will thrive wherever the temporn- turo docs not go us low as ten degrees .tbovo zero. It was the opinion of ( several orclianlUts spoken to on this subject that the final out come of the ollvo oil Industry will bo that the olive growers will eoll their pick to big manufacturers , who will cngaga exclusively lu this ollvo oil Industiy. Only recently the agent of n London supply house Informed , Secretary Fllchor of the State Hoard of Trade that ho could find a market In England for the ollvo oil of California , us wealthy fainllleo would gracefully pay higher prices for the pure article , while It Is notorious that the European olive oil Is nearly all adulterated. TOO MANY HORSES. There are two or three men hunting for a few first class work horses for use In hauling ; ore In the Trail creek nml other mining- dis tricts , writes n Colfax correspondent to the Spokane Spokesman-Review. As horses tire plentiful and there Is llttlo or no competition , they are having no trouble In finding what they want , but are taking some time In order to get them as cheaply as possible. Horses weighing from 1,300 to 1,450 seem to be the most desirable. They must be well built , un blemished , sound , well broken and good , pullers. Horses of this description are being picked up at prices ranging from $50 to $75. A few years ago such animals brought from $125 to $150 and were shipped to eastern markets from this country by the hundred. Hut for the last two years all outside mar kets have been effectually closed. Probably not more than 150 or 20D horses have been shipped from the county In the last eighteen months , and some of them have been brought back on account of not being able to find a market. Meanwhile the stock on hand has been rapidly Increasing , until there are thou sands of horses throughout the eastern part of the state that are not worth feeding. Horses that arc not worth feeding and taking care of , and few are worth that , can bo purchased now for almost any price. Cayuscs are so near worthless than even the assessor does not ask how many a man has , not deeming them worthy of assessment aa property. Horses weighing from 700 to 1,000 pounds can ho bought by the hundred at prices ranging from $1 to $5 , and "broke" saddle , horses are offered at from $3 to $10 and find no buyers. A suggestion that Is receiving considerable attention here , as elsewhere , Is the feeding- of horseflesh to hogs. While It would reason ably seem that for human consumption horse meat would bo much cleaner and more desirable In every way than hog meat , as long as the consumers retain their present Ideas the transfer of the former Into the latter will bo the only means of fitting It for table use. WHEAT COXK IX Till ! SOUTHWEST Kiinn.in City IMIIIui- < Compelled to Ship ( .ruin from Chicago. KANSAS CITY , May 1C. Wheat sold In Kansas City today at 75 cents a bushel , an advance of nearly 30 cents fram the extremely low price reached last fall. So scarce has wheat become In the southwest and so high have prices gotten that wheat was bought In Chicago today for shipment to this city. A special ralo of 13 % cents a hundred weight has been made for the purpose , and It Is ex pected that a good deal of wheat will bo brought hero from Chicago. The wheat sup ply of the southwest has become almost wholly exhausted and crop prospects are so poor that the few who possess wheat are dls- posed to hold to It. There Is about 300,000 bushels In Kansas City elevators , but very llttlo of U Is for sale at any price. Chicago has over 20,000,000 bushels In store and mills all over the central west an3 southwest hava been compelled to go to that city for supplies , doubtless buying back In some cases the very wheat which was shipped to Chicago from their own localltlea last fall when wheat was > cheap. The nosslblllty of shipping wheat from Chicago to Kansas City has been talked of for some time past. It has now bccomo an actual occurrence and It Is a thing which never before happened since Kansas began to raise wheat. Dili ; n Tunnel nml lcnped. . LARAMIE , Wyo. , May 16.
