CrnCAOO, Aog. 20 Weakness agalo pre
vailed In the wheat pit and September
cloeed (tfe! lower. September corn was
off 4C oats were tip Ve.c and provisions
were from 20fr.Sc higher.
Trading In wheat was of a light character
and a nervous feeling prevailed. Favorable
weather In the northwest, together with
Indifferent cables, caused considerable com
mission house selling at the start and
opening prices were weak, September being
down ,Hc at &yafac. Everything
seemed to favor the bears, outside markets
being; lower, while tho primary receipts
em largo and crop advices favorable.
With little demand the market gradually
declined until September had touched 79o,
when buying orders lecame more numerous
and a rally ensued. The latter part of the
session was dull and featureless, but
prices held about steady. September
Closed ItftTte lower st 80S Mr. December
was also down 'tiio. closing at 81(3lHe.
Primary receipts were 661,900 bushels
against S4S,7no bushels a year ago. Minne
apolis and Duluth reported receipt of 196
cars, which with local receipts of 114 cars
25 of contract grade made total receipts
for the three points of 310 cars, against 1S6
cars last week and 600 cars a year ago.
There was only a small trade in corn
and prices were lower under the Influence
of continued favorable weather and on the
weakness in wheat. There was heavy sell
ing early in the day and only a. light de
mand, but later affairs developed and with
fewer offerings the market recovered part
of the early loss. Steadiness prevailed the
latter part of the session and September
closed Vic lower at Blc sfter selling between
MHc and 61Vic. December closed at 51c, a
loss of He Iociil receipts were 151 cars,
with M of contract grade.
Oats were again relatively steady, al
though the weakness In wheat and corn
had some effect. Trade was largely local,
with the selling somewhat In excess of the
buying, although offerings were readily ab
sorbed at easier prices. Favorable weather
was a bear factor. After ranging between
and Mo September closed .at
$4Sc, a gain of tic December was also. up
Ho, closing at 26c Local receipts were
1(12 cars.
Provisions were firm, chiefly because of a
let-up in the selling pressure which had
been In evidence recently. There was a
good demand for ribs early and with a
small run of hogs and a stronger market
at the yards provision prices advanced ma
terially and held well throughout the day.
September pork closed 27c higher st I11.27V4.
September lard was up 20c at $8.00, and
ribs were up 20c at $7.75.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
110 ears; corn, 206 cars; oats, 220 cars; hogs,
12,000 head.

CATTLE There was a talrly liberal run
Of cattle here this morning, but the de
mand on the part of both feeder buyers
and packers was In good shape, and as a
result trading was lalrly active and the
prices paid were steady to strong as com
pared with yesterday. The bulk of the ar
rivals was disposed of In good season.
There was quite a sprinkling of cornfeds
In the receipts and anything at all decent
commanded stronger prices. As high as
$5.30 was paid for a bunch which averaged
1,837. The common stuff of course was
not In aa good demand and could not be
quoted any more than steady. When It
oame to. the warmed upa they had to sell
In the same notches with tha western
rangers.
The cow market showed very little
change from yesterday. The more desir
able bunchea were in good request, but
pacKers were not wining to pay any more
money for them than they old yesterday.
l ne common ana meaium Kinas in tne ma
jority of cases also sold without much
trouDie at ateaay prices.
There is nothing new to be said of tha
market on bulls, veal calves and stags.
There was not a very neavy run of Block
ers and feeders, and as forty cars were
shipped to the country yesterday specula
tors took hold quite freely this morning
and raid good strong prices for all de
sirable, grades. Even the common stuff
Bold freel yat steady prices.
There were oniy a tew western grass
beef on sale and most of those were badly
lacking In quality. The good, stuff could be
Quoted strong, but others were only steady.
Range cows held about steady with desir
able stocK cattle strong ana common xinas
steady. Representative sales:

HOGS There was an extremely light run
ef hogs In sight this morning, and aa a
result the tenuency of prices was upward.
The Improvement, however, was mostly on
the heavy weights, whlcn in tne roajyii.j
of cases sold at right around a nickel
higher, or mostly from $6.05 to $3.10. The
medium and light weights sold about steady
with yesterday, the former going largely
from $5.10 to $6.20. and the latter from
$5.25 to $6.40. The light run doubtleas had
a great deal to do with the advance on
heavies, as packers could not get enough
of the light w-Mghta to fill their orders and
had to take the heavies. The close was
rather slow with prlcea certainly no better
than those paid earlier In the day. Rep
resentative sales:

SHEEP There waa not an excessive run
of sheep and lambs here this morning, but
the quality was only fair. Packers, though,
did not take hold with any great amount
ot life, and the best that could be said
of the market is that while trading was
slow, the prices paid were about steady.
A string of yearlings with a few sheep
aold for $3.80, which was pronounced about
a steady price, considering the quality.
The day was well advanced before the bulk
of the arrivals was disposed of. The lack
ot quality makes the market on paper look
lower than lt really waa.
The feeder market hejd Just about steady
with yesterday. Oood stuff sold without
much trouble, but common kinds were hard
to dispose of.

City I all Offioial Holdi CroiW Eton Cam

VAIN TALK OF QUARRY IN THE PLATTE
Asserts that Ordlaaaea for Ifew Im
provement District Was Sap
Boftea by Oae ot the Stoaa
Comblae.
"A combination of firms controlling all
tha crushed stone available In Omaha la
delaying paring," aald a city hall ofnclal.
- "The existence of the trust haa been an
accepted fact ainca last winter, when no
attempt waa made to conceal the uniform
action of the several crushed atone firms In
tha city. Prlcea have been pushed steadily
upward and the supply regulated In ac
cordance. To add to tha situation the
heavy washouts on tho railroads In
Nebraska and Kanaaa made the ltnea
anxious for all tha ballast they could get,
and this haa had a pronounced effect on
the local market.
"Tha Barber Asphalt company early got
Into clear by contracting with the Omaha
Grant Smelting company for Its entire out
put of alag, which la aald to be bet
ter even than crushed limestone
In asphalt pavementa. The other firm In
the asphalt business, tha Nebraska B1
tullthlc company, wsa not ao fortunate and
haa been at the mercy of the atone trust.
Tha complication haa delayed two amall
jobs of new paving and the other day It
waa necessary for the city engineer to
sign an order authorising tha use of gravel,
Instead of crushed rock In the binder for
tha paving around tha market house.
Proper Rock Lacking.
"Aside from tha high prices, lt Is as
serted that tho trust haa not been furnish
ing tha bitullthlc with tha proper size of
rock, when lt furnished the rock at all.
Suggestions that Independent contractors
open a quarry In tho Platta river valley,
where stone abounds, and Install crushing
machinery have been met with a withering
smile and remarks about what the rail
roads would do to shipments coming from
this kind of an establishment.
"Tha situation aeema to be thoroughly
In the hands of tha trust, aa It controls
and owns all quarries within eaay reach of
Omaha.
'It haa been atated that the ordinance
Introduced In the council Tuesday night,
which aeeka to create a street Improve
ment district for Maple street from Twen
tieth to Twenty-fourth, waa supported by
Contractor E. D. Van Court, who la one of
tha men aald to be In the atona combine.
"Van Court thinks he can get signers for
tnacadam on Maple street by assuring the
property owners that It will cost leas than
a dollar a square yard. Aa he can furnish
hla own atone, this Is .not doubted, but
whether or not tha price would be ao low
In other districts that wanted macadam
la questioned under the circumstances.
With all tha crushed rock In atght con
trolled by a few men tho price for maca
dam would go steadily upward."
