OMAHA, March 17. ISM.
The cash market for grain i becoming
Very dull In Omaha and ther 1 llttm
urosDeci fur much chance. '
"Tne grain la not there," aid a member
of a prominent elevator nrin. 'Noilung 18
coming In. The government report, com
piled on the rlrst of the month and issued
on tha kth, credited the farmeis with Hav
ing ji wr rail of their grain el on
hand. This ' Is Wrong for N ecru ska. Ve
compiled a report on the Vth troin our
stations and we find that tbe farmer have
nly about 16 per cent of the wheat, lhV,
ot oats and i!7 per cent of tne corn crop.
Thin, without tne addition of bad spring
roads and the scarcity of cars, means thai
the Omnha market will oontlue to D light
until a I mod the end of the season." ,
The great Armour bull" operation are
ended. The manipulator are reported to
Lave aold the last of their loog line of
Atay 1 ues.lay. For Some weeks the hold
ing has not tieeh Very large, but Tues
day saw the end. Thla operation began
In November, with May and July In the
?os. and at the highest point May reached
tl.no nnd July. We. This U said to bo the
Ingest buying operation In wheat ever
known ami the reault was most pleasing
to the speculators, for with a string es'l
mated at 20.000,00 bushels nnd an advance
of from 25 to 30 cents, the profit can be
seen. The war and other Influences ma.io
at least a llo-cerit -ad vam-e over what wou.d
have been- possible. The hard pa't of the
movement came when May was In the
and the bear sentiment was so unlveisal
ami the forelc-n support too weiR. that It
Whs thought impossible to bull the market.
The force of etiecolatlve buying has about
e haunted Itself and the market Is wlthont
much short Interest. Mnrch Is a month of
ciop uncertainties, but It Is to be homo In
Blind that the market Is still high. The gen
eral rains oyer the whrat country eonth
and west tended toward- weakness In the
market, while th lack of Argentine ship
ments III part offset this. Chicago wheat
whs without Interest, but the Omaha mar
ket was bid up from 7c to 9e for the May
and from S?Ho to Mc for July.
The range of prices In Omaha grain for
future delivery and the close for Wednes
day and fur today were as follows:

WAGE QUESTION HAS IMPORTANT BEARING
47htls Dlscearasemeata Are Set All
Eliminated froaa Market, Ssees
latara Believe Clouds Are
tlearlaa- Away.
NEW TORK. March 17. The atock mar
ket gave Indications today that tbe first
phase of adjustment to tne Northern Se
curities decision had been mostly com
pleted. There was a crystallisation of the'
leeling that a very Important clearing away
had been effected by the supreme court s
action of Monday. Kellef Is alno felt over
the news that the soft coal miners will ac
cept the reduction In wages. The breaking
of the drouth In the southwest Is encourag
ing to holders of railroad stocks In that
region, and the break In wheat and cotton
today waa tnken as promising better pros
pects for both crops.
w hue the discouragements overnnnging
the market are not all eliminated by this
list of Improved factors the professional
element In Wall street seemed to arrive at
a common agreement today that some ad
vance In prioes was warranted by what
has already been effected in clearing away
the clouds on the situation. The net re
sults are gains running from one to 3 points
for all the prominent active stocks. 8t.
Paul and Pennsylvania were notably active
and strong. The bond market showed a
broadening tendency end was firm. Total
shares, par value, fl.935,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.
Krlowing were the quotations on the

CATTLE There waa acu-lier big run of
cattle, here thla morning, although receipts
were not quite aa heavy as they were yes
terday. Packers evidently were not at nil
anxious for more cattle, and. In fact, made
It very plain that their requirements were
extremely limited, nn.l unless they could
get tne cattle ior consiueraoiy less money
they did not want them at all.
The morning was well advanced before
many cornfed steers changed hands. Chi
cago was quoted a dime lower and at this
point; Duyers were slow in eiuriing oui, unu
when, they did go to the yards they took
their time about bidding on the cattle. The
market could probably best be described
by calling It very dull and safely a, dime
lower than yesterday, or fully 151i'J5c lower
than Tuesday. As compared with Monday
the decline In many cases Is even more
than a quarter. At a late hour today there
were still a good many cattle left in first
hands and tne situation certainly did not
show any Improvement aa the day ad
vanced.
The cow market was also dull and fully
a dime lower than yesterday, or lrV225e
lower than for the last two days. Packers
were willing to buy a few choice light
weight heifers, but when It came to the
enerai run of orreringa they were very In
Ifferent. nnd It was hard for salesmen to
dispose of their holdings at any figure. The
greatest decline has been on heavy cows
and the general run of cattle of all weights.
Choice lightweight heifers and the com
moner kinds of cows have shown the least
decline.
The market on bulla today was nearly at
a standstill. None seemed to want any.
and besides being dull the market waa
fully a quarter lower than Tuesday. Veal
calves, though, gold without much trouble
at steady rrloeg.
The demand for stookers and feeders wns
also limited and prices right around a
quarter lower than tbe first part of the
week. The demand from the country the
last few days has hardly been up to ex
pectation and ns a result prices have had
to suffer. Representative sales:

SHEEP There was a llKht run here thla
morning and as all the packers seemed to
want some fresh supplies, they were out
early nnd paid good, steady to strong prl.-es
for the , desirable grades of ewes and
wethers. Some kinds that did not Just suit
them, or some that they knew were not
killing out up to the proper standard, were
somewhat neglected, but tho general mar
ket was active and fully steady with yes
terday, limits could not be quoted nny
more than steady, and none too active at
that, although the most of the better grades
were sold In fairly good season.
There was nothing new In tho feeder
situation, as the demand Is sufficient to
hold prices steady on the number that have
been coming forward.
