For the week re celpta have been light. Aa will be seen from the table above there la a decrease both as compared with the last several Weeks and alao with the same week of "t fr. Kecelpu at other points were also light, but in spite of that fact the tendency of prices was downward all around. Beef steers made up the bulk of the re ceipts all the week, and the quality was fully as good aa usual. Packers, how sver, pounded the market practically all the week with the exception of Friday, and as a result prices are considerably lower than they were a week ago. As compared with the high point, beef steers of all kinds range 2 loo lower. The greatest decline has been on the general run of medium cattle, -.while the choice heavy and handy wuighli cattle have Buffered the leant. There are more cases, of course, where cattle have wold 4oc lower than where they were only 2ac or JOc lower. The cause of the iniirovement on Friday was the extremely ine eow market has also broke In bad shape dgrlng the past week, and figured . from tho hi ah point of the market prices ( are aafely 6oj75c lower. In aome cases the Sradea that Bold for frnm 13 00 to 24.50 have eclltnid even more than that. It now ; takes a choice cow or heifer to reach $5 Bo ( though a few head of funcy cattie sold 4 up to H.X during the week. Anything on thg commonlkh order waa very hard to jfpOB of at any price, and particularly , was that true on Wednesday aud Thurs i, day. The veal calf market broke In bad shape and may be quoted 11.00 per hundred lower m than a week ago. The best grades are : now selling right around tii.00. The beat ' grades ot fat bulls held up In good shape and are only shout 26c lower for the week, but the commoner grades (Inclined more . than that. ' Stockers 'and feeders declined about 11MJ l&o during the week, and trade was very quiet ' all the week. The lack of rain caused farmers to ship some of their stock and prevented othera from buying. The very choice cattle, of courae. found an out let without any serioua break, but aolile from Mioae the market waa fully 15825c lower. HOGB-tThe receipts of hogs were mod erate teday, there being a slight decrease aa compared with yesterday, but a email Increase over Saturday of lust week. The market opened fairly sctlve at prices gen erally about Bteady with yesterday, though a few toads sold a shade higher, but the bulk of the trading was done on about yesterdsy's basis. The heavyweight hogs were ready sellers at fully steady prices and went mostly from I7.0CJ25, and medhimwelKhts went largely from It 96W 7 06. while light hogs, aa usual, were slow and sold from 6.i down. The bulk of the offerings waa out of first hands In good season; but on the close of the market there were a few light loads left which were hard rrt dispose of and sold a shade lower. As will be aeen from the table of receipts above., there haa been a good incrraae In receipt this week aa compared with the last several weeks, but there Is a decrease as compared with the same week of laat year. The week opened with an advance which carried the market to the hlch point )f the year. The next three 4-y. the ten dency of prtcts was downward, but on Friday ana Saturday there waa some re action, so that the week closed a few rents higher than last week, but not aa high aa tna openi", representative Bales: No. At. rJh.

The market has been In good shapo all the week and packers took hold of the more desirable offerings freely and very satisfactory prices were psld. Boms of the con.moner grades were neglected to some extent, but the situation is best described by calling the market for the week Just about ateady. The feeling on some days has been a little stronger than on others, bJt for the week there Is practically no qcrlable change.

Insignificant Cotton Seed Now Annually Produces Millions of Dollars, So Will the Now Wasted Corn Stalks Produce Tens of Millions of Dollars. This Is an age of machinery, not only for the saving of labor, but for the utilisation of heretotore wasted ma terials, so that Irom crude substances a very high maximum of finished prod ucts reauy tor the market are being secured. The United States produces the corn need by the civl lzed world, there being raised over 2,oU0,M.oou bushels on 80,ouo,ooo acres each year. This enormous crop, under present methods of utilisation. Is raised en tirety for the kernels. After the ear has been husked the balance of tha plant, except a small per cent of the touder saved for feed of stock, is wasted. When It is considered that the great est crop In the temperate sone Is only one- half used and the other half wasted, while It can be turned Into food, paper and other products of great value, some conception can be formed ot the enormous business opportunity there Is In the field of utilizing wasted corn stalks ten times greater oppor tunities than utilization of formerly wasted coiton seed, for whose annuul crush 46o mills are used, employing a capital of nearly one hundred million dollars and giving employment to 60,000 men. Such machines to save the corn stalks from waste In a practical way, by thrift, Intelligence and sound busi ness methods, together with the pro cesses used In the development, have been Invented, perfected and patented by GEORGE R. SHERWOOD of Chi cago, for the complete utilization ot the component parts of the Indian corn plants, so that each part may be utl.lzed. Theee patents covering tho machinery, together with those t.t en ted and pending on the processes for utilising the shell and pith of the corn stalk In making paper and paper box boards and other finished prod ucts, have been secured by the National Fiber and Cellulose Co., Incorporated under tho laws of Dela ware with a capital of $10,000,000, di vided Into shares of $10 each, full paid and non-assessable. To accomplish this, It will organize local companies throughout the. corn belt to operate plants under Its patents and with Its machinery; It will build mills for man utacturlng pulp, paper, paper box boards and cellulose compounds; It wl.l establish and operate such fac tories and agencies as will best con vtrl Jrn? J"aw Pts into most profit able finished products, Oreat Waste In the Corn Belt. In the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas there are over fifty million iins nJ:ne corn P'ant wasted annu ally. The other corn crowing states produce and waste in like proportion. It certainly cannot but appeal to the best Judgment of any thinking man thB-.t .machinery and processes wltn W- '. . 5hls ,e"rmous waste can be profitably utilized In so practical a manner are a part of tho great In. ventions of the age and will add vastly to tho wealth of the country. Profit to Both Farmer and Manu facturer. For the successful operation of these methods for utilizing all parts of the corn plant two points are es sential: First, the farmer should re ceive a profit on all the crop.- not only in the ars, as hertofore, but on the leaves, husks, shell and pith. Second, the manufacturer Who makes useful the waste part of the corn crop must likewise receive a profit on his labor and Investment. The farmer. In order to make this additional profit, need make no changes In planting, cultivating or harvesting his corn cron. but may sell Uie entire product of his Held Instead of the ears only. De-Plthlna; Planta. The average de-ptthlng plant will consist of ten or more machines, with automatic conveyors for transferring the materials from the farmers wagon to the de-ptthlng machines or the stacking yards, and sutllclent en gine and boiler capacity to operate the machinery, all of which will, be housed in substantial buildings. The de-plthlng machine wnl, when stalks are fed to it, snap oft the ears and drop them on the husking rolls, the stalks passing on Into the ma chine. The husking rolls husk the ears, delivering them to a conveyor, and the husks which cling to the eo.wilen.lt napped from the stalks wl" 08 drawn off by another con veyor. The husked ears of corn the farmer may remove to his crib or de liver to his merchant, or this com pany will be prepared to purchase It rrom him at the market price, or store It for him, whichever he may de sire. As the stalk passes on through - the machine such of the husks as adhere to the stalk, together with the leaves on the stalk, are next stripped off and likewise drawn from the ma chine by a conveyor. Thus stripped of the ears, husks, leaves and dirt, JlJ.lZ?n Bl4lk,"t passes into the de-plthlng Bectlon of tho machine CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Volume of Business for April Shows Oood Increase Over Last Year. MARKETS GENERALLY . WELL SUSTAINED Outlook for Future Business Very Baeoiraglsg and More Pall Order Now on Hand Than I Ever Before nt This Time. Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers report trade In this territory aa being very satis factory. Orders have been comlir In very freely and now that the reports for the month of April are In It ts found that the Jobbing trade of this city Is making a Bood. substantial gain over last year. Furniture, Implements, groceries, boots and shoes, dry goods and In fact all lines have been moving out more freely this spring than lost and as a result Jobbers In all branches are well pleased with the success they are having. There Is of course some uneasiness noticeable on the part of re tailers because or ne lack of rain, but still no one seems to be very badly worried. In most sections they have had enough local showers to keep growing crops In good shape, so that the prospects are fa vorable, provided there Is a normal amount of rain from thia time on. The general opinion la that with anything like average cropa the Jobbing and manufacturing en terprise, of Umaha will take a big stride forward. Fall business bo far haa also been of very satisfactory proportions. Every job bing house In the city has more orders on hand for fall delivery than ever before at this time of the year and. traveling sales men say that the outlook for future busl ness Is better than they have ever seen It. That being the rase, Jobbers are naturally making more extensive preparations than usual for handling their fall bualnesa and they propose to have the best stocks on hand that have ever been shown in this city. There have been comparatively few market change. In any line during the laat aeveral days. There have of course been a few fluctuations up and down, but pons of them are of any great Importance. It may safely be sold that all lines are In a good, healthy condition and the gen. eral tone ot the market could not well bo better. Iaar at Little Stronger. The sugar market did not show much clmuso ti, flrt of th wefk, but toward, the close It firmed up a little. Raws are also In a better position and now that con sumption Is Increasing the market can be quoted atrong. There haa been little ehange la the cereal market during the last week, but, based on the market values of corn, wheat and oats, the manufactured producta are con sidered a safe purchase at present prices. The same may also be said ot syrups and sorghum. The cheese market continues very strong, owing to tha lack of rains, which makes pasturage scarce. The dried fruit market Is very firm, but there have been practically no quotable changea during the week. Peaches and apricot. In particular are being held ot good. Arm prices, owing to the fact that i cactt week Biocke are becoming more scarce where the shell and the pith are sepa rated and deposited on separate con veyors, ready for the paper mill and other mills, where they will each be worked Into finished products. Thus the component parts of the corn plant are separated each from the other, so that all parts can be used, as nature designed that they should be. IT 8HOI M) BR HOH E l XIMI THAT ALL OF THIS I'HOI K8 IS THE OPERATION OF ONE MA. (IIINF., OPERATED BY 0E MAM OR BOY. Feeding; Yards. It Is one of the purposes of this company to establish feeding yards at each of the de-plthlng plants, so us to utilize to the best advantage the constantly accumulating feed products In a manner similar to that adopted by the distilleries of the country. Necessity for Separating; Pith from Shell. To make corn stnks commercially valuable It 'is necessary to sepuxule the shell and the pith. When the two are separated and each is treated In a specific manner all the valuable characteristics of each are saved and their full value ob tained.' The machine which we have de scribed herein separates these parts automatically, quickly and cheaply and is the llrst and only machine that does this work. Necessity for More Fiber. Today the forests of our country ' - --tk y r 1.1 -LTO-.yfcM;At... i. ii Machine for Husking, Stripping and De-Pithing the furnish most of the fiber out of which the ordinary grades of paper are made. It requires from fifty to one hundred years for a tree to ma ture; a corn plant requires about one hundred days each year. When a tree has been cut down no new paper stock product takes Its place, but when a corn field is utilized for feed, paper stock and other by products, a new crop can be raised on tho same field tho following year. In the fast growing business of this country new demands are crowding In upon one another for the use of paper and paper box boards, and there Is a great concern among those Interested as to where the future fiber Is to come from, as the wood pulp for ests of this country are fast disap pearing and the present supply of wood is coming almost wholly from Canada and the far north. This company, by establishing plants and mills for the saving of this enormous crop of the corn plant from year ti year, will supply this Increasing du mand for paner stock and also pro duce the finished paper and paper box boards. Wood Fiber Mills. There are In the United States today about 109 ground wood plants, 27 soda fiber mills, 74 sulphite mills and 10 wood pulp board mills,. Canada haa 82 pulp mills. 6 soda fiber mills, 12 sulphite mills and 10 wood pulp mills Here are approximately 2 mills grinding wood night and day, and while the exact amount used bv them dally Is not known, It is a well known fact that the pulp wood of this coun try has to a large extent been con sumed by these grinders, and Just as the wood Is about exhausted, corn stalks are made available, furnishing the fiber for the world In a bettor manner than wood has done, because the fiber Is superior, and the time win never come when the supply will be exhausted. Paper Bos Board Mills. There are about 85 mills In the United States in addition to those above mentioned, making other and supplies . In California are reported as being practically cleaned up. Trade with local grocery Jobbers his been brisk all this spring and a good sub stantial Increase over last year's business Is reported. The demand Is general for all classes of goods, and as collections are also in very satisfactory condition, wholesalers have nothing to complain of. Oood Demand for Dry Goods. Bo far as house trade Is concerned local dry goods Jobbers report trade as being a nttle quiet, but the order business con tinues very satisfactory on goods for both current and fall delivery. In fact the large Jobbing houses of this cltv claim a good substantial Increase over April of last year, which Is considered very ex traordinary when comparisons are made with other western houses. It Is stated, however, by those who are posted on busi ness conditions existing throughout tne west, that the territory tributary to Omaha Is the healthiest part of the west. Trade on fall goods for delivery after July 1 continues very satisfactory and ex tends to all llnee, Including cloaks, blank ets, factory goods and dress goods. Whole salers are freely predicting that before their fall trade comes to a close they will have broken last year's big record by a wide margin. The cotton goods market still retains its strength and although no quotable changes have taken place for leading brands, still a great number of advances have been brought about by shortening discounts. Well Informed buyers are confidently looking for a 6'jC price on leading stand ard prints this fall. As a result, staple fancy prints are now being bought freely by people who are looUing for higher prices In the future. Hardware MoTlaar Freely. The demand for all staple lines of hard ware continue, very active and local Job ber, say that their eulea are running con siderably ahead of last season. There does not seem to be any particular feature to the trade, as the demand is general for all ' classes of seasonable goods. I There Is the same scarcity In many lines 1 of goods that has been spoken of so many times In the past, but as a rule Omaha lobbers are filling their orders with prompt- ! ness owing to the large stocks now being , carried In this city. There la practically no market news to ' report, as all line, or hardware are in Just about the same position they were a week ago, and the whole situation is summed up by calling the general market Arm and active. There have, of course, been a few fluctuations of minor Importance, but no changes either up or down have taken place that are of enough significance to be worthy of mention. More Buyers Arriving. Leather goods men report trade aa being on the Increase. The warm daya of last week seemed to set things to moving In the rt uinry and as a result a good many merchants arrived In the city and placed quite liberal orders for summer lines. Ox ford were the most popular, which only goes tr, show that there Is to e strictly ox fori season. It la undoubtedly true that Fiora lew shoes In both men's and women's I no have been sold this year than ever before and It Is confidently bellov..d that as lh season advances they will increase In popularity. The ri bber business Is of course at a Ut'CfcUll. as there have been no spring rains of any Importance to irlng rubber golds into demand. Jobbers are now hoping that there will be enough rain yet to enable dealers to close out what stock they have ou hand, even though they do not buy any more. There has been a good demand the last few days fvr fresh fruit aud vegcublvs. mm THAT WILL CREATE h grades of paper box boards, whose raw mnterlal Is either straw or the Waste paper stork gathered from streets and buildings, the capacity of which mills Is about sixteen hundred tons per day, and not sulllrient to supply the present market demands. The shell of the corn plant, when treated In the some manner as straw In the manufacture of sirawboanl, roduce a bonrd superior to slraw toard and therefore worth more money, while the cost of production will not be higher. The grades of board manufactured from was-e paper are of a higher market value than strawbourd, but the board pro duced from the fiber of the cern plant, when treated under this pro cess, will make a box board superior to these at a less cost. Iniperr ionaness. For years men have worked In the hope of securing a board and paper that will be proof against moisture and grease, for packing cereals and products of cracker factories, soap, washing powder and many other ah sorbunts of water and grease, that are put upon the market In paper pack ages. Tho best and about the only niflhod known to make tho ordinary board paper grease and moisture proof Is to paruflne them. This para fine treatment makes the paper or board very exienslve. We can pro duce from the pith of the corn stalk a brand of paper that is both grease and moisture proof. Samples of this very thin paper have been covered with grease and hung In the sun for three months, but the grease did not penetrate the paper. The composl- 'eS,""S !l Wl k. ? 't. Jtt.il1- - tlon of the paper so tested was en tirely of the pith of the corn stalk prepared by this process. Many ot the most experienced paper and paper box board makers In America have examined the pa tuple of paper and paper box board made wholly from the shell of the corn stalk, and that made wholly from the pith, also that mado from a mixture of the pitch and shell, all by this process, and pro nounced them superior In quality for the purposes Intended. All who have examined the bleached pulp made from the shell of the stalk say it Is far superior to any Boda pulp produced and of sufficient strength and firm ness to make all kinds of fine papers, such as books, writing, ledger ami bond. The cost of producing these grades of pulp, paper and boards is far less than the cost of producing them by present materials and pro cesses Other Bl-Products. In addition to Its value In manufac turing paper and paper box boards, the pith of the stalk Is in great de mand and very valuable In preparing cellulose, gun cotton, smokeless pow der, varnish and sundry other prod ucts. The manufacture of the lore going articles from the corn stalk la not a theory, but a demonstrated practicability. By mixing with the pith treated by this process the waste clippings of leather, of which Chlcugo alone pro duces about ten tons dally, we can make a floor covering of a superior grade, and at less cost; also wall decorations and paneling callable ot being embossed and finished In a highly artistic manner, and at moder ate cost. By this one can Judge of the enor mous field of usefulness of the Sher wood process and the fabulous wealth it must create. It will build up In dustries popular with the farmer, whom they will enrich; it means busi ness for all concerned, for the manu facturers of machinery, lor the build ers of paper mills, for the railways In carrying the products, and for the la borer, for whom new avenues of em- The supply of that class of goods was much better last week than at any previ ous time this year and the quality was also better. Prices of course broke on nearly all lines, owing to the Increased receipts, but still the demand was sufficient to keep quotations from going very low. Green peas, wax beans, radishes, lettuce, spinach and all such lines are selling lower than they were n week ago and the quota tions will be found In another column. Tho potato market, however, has been going steadily upward. Northern potatoes aro now worth $1.20531.25 and Colorado bre quoted at $1.35. The quality, as well as the quantity, of the strawberries on the market Is increas ing at a rapid rate and the prices are going down. Texus berries good enough for shipment are now selling around la.jcKU 4.00 per 24-quurt case. The butter market took a drop last week, owing to the Increased receipts and the prospects for still further Increases In the future, but prices are still very high for this time of the year. Pou'try has fluctuated to some extent during the last week, but prices are about the same as they were a week ago and much higher than they were a year a&o. Eggs are also high for this time of year and the ruling prlrei practically all the week has been H'.jtfl&c. Wool Market.

AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT CHICAGO KMJI.IMI HIGH AND MAM AL THA1MXG SCHOOL. Manual Training; Department. . Chicago, 111.. Feb. 7, 1902. Mr. George li. Sherwood, Chicago My Dear Sir: I would report on machines constructed under my su pervision for husking, stripping and ue-plihlng the lntilan corn plant for paper stock and feed, as ioliows: ihe husking attachment Is novel In design, slmp.e In construction, haa large capacity and does its work com pletely without shelling the corn, sep arating also the Hue Inner husks from the coarser. . , The strippers remove the leaves and coarse husas, leaving the stalk clean and tree trom all dirt as well as leaves. The clean stalk then passes on to the de-pothlng section of the machine, which separates the shell from the pith, accomplishing this operation thoroughly without Injury to shell or pith. As to strength: All parts are heav ier than orumary usage would re quire. Weight, nbout 4,000 pounds. The output Is limited rather by the operators feeding ability than by the capacity of the machine. A con servative estimate places the mini mum capacity at six tons per day of ten hours. The power consumption 1b from five to seven-horse power. Tho details of the machine, which tend to long life, namely: Rigidity, ample bearing surface, perfect lubri cation and an absence of compli cated parts, have been constantly In mind during its design. The ma chine can be operated by any man, and, in case of breakage, repairs may be made In ordinary shops by any mechanic. The machine accomplishes In a di rect mechanical way the purpose for which It was designed and opens up a Held which, to my opinion, la lull of possibilities. All of which Is respectfully sub mitted.
