During th summer the Crelghton-Orpheum

the house have been altered, all to bring
It up to date. The tnaln wall hav been
finished in a dull slate gray and a deep red,
the combination appearing much richer
than It sounds. The balcony fronts are
finished light, and the proscenium Is In
green and gold. Th whole Is most ef
fective, and the Interior presents a most
attractive appearance. The lights hav
been changed, the balcony lights being re
moved from the grooves, so thst the light
Is now direct Instead of suffused. A pow
erful flood light has been installed at the
front of the first balcony, from which th
tag is brilliantly lit up. An automatic
spot light will also bo put In. On the
stage the bunch and flood lights are all
new, and the arrangement has been made
In accordance with the latest specifications
of the fire underwriters, so that it is per
fectly safe. In addition . to th apparatus

nounced 'ufflclent Inst seqson. Iron fire
buckets and axes have been Installed on
the stage and In the dressing rooms, all
the wosjo receptacles and other utensils
are of Iron, and not a thing hns been left
untouched. Inspection has been rigid, and
the Installation pronounced s ufflclent. New
scenery has been provided also. 1
The front of the house ha received a
careful attention a th Interior and th
stnge. and the lobby Is as bright and clean
as If th theater were new. All th ushers
and others who come Into contact with
ill public are now wearing neat uniforms,
and everything ha been done that could be
suggested to add to the attractiveness and
comfort 'of the theater.
The season opens with a matinee this

Fairly Firm Gossip.
OMAHA. September 17, 1904.
It was one of those rare bear days in the
wheat market that have been scarcer than
the proverbial hen's teeth for many weeks.
It wss a case of sell the stuff from the
opening until the close unrelieved by any
spasm of strength. Liverpool started th
raid with IHd decline. It was Inspired by
the weakness of American market yester
day and was further actuated on the Chi
cago and other leading speculative market
by a rush of liquidation on the part of th
great army of longs; traders that hav
made fortunes on the bull side of wheat
and anxious to get out with as large profits
as possible. Primarily the weather man
wa the most Important factor In the whole
situation. Sunshine and warmer night not
only assure the safety of the great cern
crop, but It Increases probable yield from
northern wheat states where the harvest Is
now going on and where threshing needs
Just such weather. The change Is certain
to be of great value to Nebraska and :he
west If this weather will continue with u
for two weeks the great corn crop will be
past danger. It was the first day for many
moons that the buyers of puts on the Chi
cago market found matters turning in their
favor and as a consequenoe the first that
the sellers have found the market against
them. Much of the buying of the short
session was for the account of buyers of
put who were making deliveries freely.
The opening prices were In all cases the
highest. The declines In wheat averaged
nearly 4 points In all futures, and there waa
little disposition on the part of the sellers
to cover though the fact that It was Satur
day Induced some late covering, but even
this did not stem the downward tide. Sep
tember future sold In Chicago at $1.104 to
11.07; December at $1.13 to $1.09 and May
from 1.144 to Si ll.
The heavy selling of the day was an ex
cellent thing for the future of the market.
The steady and long continued advance ha
been the means of cutting off short selling
and left the market one-sided and with
everybody waiting for the sign of weaken
ing to get out. The sign came early this
morning and the rush of sellers was lfke
the rush to Bonesteel. Th bears have been
waltlne- for lust such an ounortuntty to
sell and they took courage and went after
price hard. The result Is a two-sided
market.
In Omaha cash prices were easier but
still tempting to holders of wheat: No. 2
hard sold at 11.06 and high grade No. J at
tl. while lower test sold at 98fi'99c.
Corn was soft and there was a general
decline but oats held relatively steady.
There was an excellent demand for the
latter and this checked any decline. Corn
was off . ,

IP to this time Chtcaso firms havn
bought between 1,000,000 and 2,000.000 bushels
of wheat, to come from Idaho. Minneapolis
must also have bought a good deal more
of this wheat. How long this movement

afford to allow a very larg' volume of
wheat to come thl way.

There was considerable pressure front the
bear element in corn because of the better
weather and the opinion thut corn had
escaped material loss from frost. The
snort interests nave Deen materially en
larged and the market Is In a healthier con.
dltlon. Pork products are Inclined to firm
ness and to advance. This Is most notice
able In January deliveries. There Is a bull
sentiment developing which Is based on a
stronger cash demand for home and for
eign account, light receipts and a small
country supply. Minneapolis says the lata
weakness In wheat caused millers to put
down the prices of flour a little. This de
cline brought in a much better demand
from domestic flour buyers. Shipping or
ders are also coming In much battel and
It will be noted by the Increase In flour
shipments and the output of the mill for
the week.

The opening In wheat was weak, the
December option being clown t'J'C to
Jc. at $1.12jtjS1.13. May Wss oft to
trc, at 11.1491.14. The Influences
that caused the Initial weakness were
numerous. The most prominent factors,
however, were lower cables, a lilg lncrene
in shipments from Australia and continued
fine weather throughout the wheat grow
ing sections of the X'nlted States and Can
ada. A light demand from shorts was
totally Inadequate to stem the receding
? rices, the market becoming weaker as
he sosslon continued. During the final
hour of trading the desire to sell became
Intense, and rrlces broke sharply. The
low point on December was reached at
$1.. May sold off to $1.11. Closing quo
tations on December were at $1,11911.08.
May closed at $1.11 g 1.11. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 7'.i,f"J bush
els. Primary receipts were 929,600 bushels,
compared with 9SV10O bushels a year ngo.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 7u9 cars, against &u cars last
week and 6V) cars a year ago.
Good maturing weather, lower cables, a
continued heavy movement of the old crop
and the break In wheat tell the story of
a weak corn market. Private messages
from the country regarding the condition
of the new crop were decidedly bearish,
fully 40 per cent of the crop being safe
from damage by frost. There was liberal
profit taking throughout the entire res
lon. Buying waa largely by shorts. De
cember opened mfec lower, at "0'('o0c,
sold off to 50c and closed at 60'c. Iornl
receipts were 024 cars, with 34 of contract

CATTLE There were practically no fresh
receipts of cuttle here this morning, so
there was 110 market. For the week re
ceipts show a gain over last week of about
6.000 head and n decrease of about 6,000
head, as compared with the same week of
last year. Judging from the distribution
nf the reretnts throuurll the week. It WOUld
appear that shippers have followed the ad-

Vlwe UL IJIVIl i.uiitiu.nniuii .lima onu ....u
back some of their supplies for the latter
end of the week. Tho result Is that a
much moro even market has been expe
rienced for the last two weeks than for
some time past. Instead of breaking the
market the first of the week and then al
lowing It to ndvnnce the last of the week
with llirht receipts, prices have changed but
Very lltte from day to day. Both commis
sion men and miyers are wen pieaneu, hiiu
they believe the plan will be a success.
The only class of cattle that cannot be sold
to good advantage on a r rainy is icwn,
and It would be better to ship those earlier
In the week, but killers should sell as well
on Friday ns any other day.
The market on corn-fed steers has
changed very little all the week. Supplies
have been very moderate, and anything nt
all desirable has met with ready sale at
steady prices. Warmed-up and common
stuff has been neglected the same as usual,
but the prices have remained about the
same. Good to choice grades may be
quoted from $5.50 to $5.85. with strictly prime
as high as $6.00. Fair to good from $4.90
to $5.50, and the commoner kinds from $4.80
down.
The market on western grass beef steers
baa been active and fully stendy nil the
week, nnd some of the desirable grades may
be a little higher. The demand has been
fully equal to the supply, and each day's
offerings hove been well cared for. Com
mon kinds drag to some extent, but still
even those sell to as good advantage as
they did n week ngo. Good to choice grades
mny be quoted from $3.75 to $450; fair to
good. $3.5KS3.6o; common to fair. 32.8.V33.25.
Corn-fed cows have been very scarce all
the week, but they could be quotej steady.
Choice grades would sell from $3 00 to $3.50,
and less desirable ones from $3.00 down.
A fair sprinkling of western range cows
has been In the receipts all the week, nnd
whll the better grades are only about
steady, the commoner kinds, such as can
ners and cutters, are a little higher. Ship
pers were told to hold back their common
cows during the strlks. and since pnekers
have opened their canning departments the
supply ha been short of the demand. As
compared with a week ago, they are safely
15c higher nnd In some cases as much as 2c
higher. Cnnners and cutters are quotable
from $1.75 to $2.40, fair to good grades from
$2.50 to $2.85, and good to choice one from
$3.00 to $3.25.
Bulls, veal calves and stag pre all Just
about steady for the week. Grass bulls
sell largely from $1.76 to $2.25 and corn
feds from $0.00 to $3.60. Veal calves sell up
to $5.50.
There hns been a good demand all the
week for choice henvy feeders, nnd such
kinds are stendy to a dime lower than a
week ago. All others, however, are lower,
and the commoner the quality and the
lighter the weight the greater the decline.
Stockers nre fully a quarter lower, and
where the quality Is common the decline
Is even more than thnt. In fnct, It has
been hard to sell them nt any price. At the
close of the week speculators still have
quite a few on hand which they will have
to carry over until next week. Good to
choice feeders are quotable from $3.40 to
$3.80. fair to good $3.00 to $3.40, and common
kind from $3.00 down. Representstlve sales:

HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here this morning, even for a Saturday,
and prices advanced a little under th In
fluence of a good local demand and favor
able report from other points. The mar
ket opened fairly active on the good light
and butcher weights with Prices strong to
a nickel higher. They sold largely from
$6.65 to $5 76. with a top at $5.77. Buyers
were a little slow In taking hold of the
heavies and they were only steady to
strong. Medium and mixed hogs were a
trifle stronger. Most of the early arrivals
were sold In good season, but some hogs
came in late and by that time the market
had weakened so that on the extreme close
a good share of the early advance was
lost. Medium and mixed hogs Sold largely
from $5.55 to $5.65 and heavies from $5.50 to
$5.55.
For the week receipts of hogs have
been fairly liberal for the time of year
as there Is an Increase over last week
of about 4.000 head and of a like amount
over the same week of Isst year. The
demand has been In good shape, so that the
tendency of prices has been upward and
a net gain for the Week of 16c to 20o is
