OUAHA, January IX WT.
Wheat wes firm, though the trada was
lot ot large proportlone. Northwestern
. awa waa something ot a, factor. Min
neapolis report quit liberal Bale from
Port Arthur for all rail shipment caat and
ne of tha largest ot tha export houses
report nine cargoes loading this month at
Ilia seaboard for porta other than lhee
made by regular linera. Cash wheat waa
itronf In Kenan City and there appeared
to be anmo ease up In receipts, 'in caslj
article waa Arm locally.
Corn waa rather Inclined to eaalnese,
though holding quite ateady, affected by
wheat and OHta. Cables came a "hade
lower. '1 ha woather la mild and damp
through tnc bell today, but a sharp drop
to sttiisoimhln temperatures la forecasted.
The cuxli market la about steady.
The nats pit waa really the center of
speculative activity. Fur Weeks every ad
vance In the May baa been checked by
resting orders, but today these were ab
aorbed and proved of much less volume
than anticipated. Sample market was
strong. .
Primary wheat receipts were 656.000 bush
el and shipments 1x2,0-0 bushi-ix, agalnxt
receipts last year of 84.000 bushels and
shipments of 172.000 bushels. Corn reeclpls
were 300,000 buxhels ami shipments 46V 0
bushels, against recelpti-Hast year of 637.010
buahela and shipments of SS.i00 bushels.
Clearances were 875.000 bushels wheat, 1.t5.31
bushels corn, 1,030 bushels oats, and flour
and wheat equal to 6i0. bushels.
Liverpool closed unchanged to Hd lower
on wheat and Wd lower on corn.
Rroomhall estimates world'a wheat hlp
menta at 8,t0O.OO bushels.
"Country offerings of corn have fallen off
considerably," aavs the Exchange Grain
company, "solely for the reason that ship
pers cannot get the cars -nd do not care
to enter Into contracts tha they may not
be able to fill on tlila account, yet the
week primary receipt! will foot up nearly
26 per cent more than last year. They would
have overrun largely without doubt could
cars have been had.
"Advancing pric e In Minneapolis will not
for the moment bring any more wheat In
here," says Wataon of Minneapolis. "It Is
elinplv physical Inability on the part of
the railroads to move the stuff. If climatic
condition permit the llnea will be opened
and cleared as quickly as possible, and
everv effort will be mnde 10 relieve the
strain. . With further storms and drifting

CHrCAOO. ' Jan. 12.Heavy anow In
North Dakota and western Minnesota waa
the chief cauae of firmness today In the
local wheat market, the May option clos
ing at a net gain of Ho. Corn was a
shade lower. Oata were up H Pro
vision, wara 2Vc Jovter tu.ZVc higher., i
The wheat market was dominated al
moat entirely by the situation In. the
northwest. Report from St. Paul were
that railroad traffic In certain eertlons
I of Mlnneaota and North Dakota is almost
at a standstill because of aupw blockades
and the official forecast waa for additional
anow tonight, followed by much colder
weather. These conditions seem to favor
atlll smaller receipts of wheat at Minns
apolls and Duluth and caused a firmer
feeling on the local exchange. With
nod demand by commission bouse and
local bulls price steadily advanced, and
the closing quotation were at the high
est point of the day. A lively demand
for cu-eti wheat at outside markets also
strengthened prices. The market closed
firm. May opened unchanged to He
lower at 7'Aii 7tS4c and aold ud to 76"SiC
where It closed. Clearance of wheat and
flour were equal ts !). 000 hit. Primary
receipt were SKA, 000 bu., against 564,000
bu. for the corresponding day one year
ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of 124 car, against 437
car last week and 43t car a year ago.
Trading In the corn pit wa quiet and
prices were steady. A leading elevator
concern wa the principal buyer and pit
trader were the chief sellers. Weather
condition throughout the corn belt ex
erted a depressing effect during the last
half pf the aesalon. The close wa ateady.
May opened unchanged to He higher at
43HC43c to 4JT4C aold .oftSto 4JSo
and closed at 43 c. Local receipts were
2S -ears, with two of contract grade.
Oats were In good demand all day and
the market showed considerable strength.
Local bull and pit tradera were good
buyers, the chief cause of the demand
being light receipt and an Improved de
mand for cash oats. May opened a shad
lower at 3IOtHc advanced to StSc
and closed at iHj3Hc. Local receipt
were llu ear.
Provision were weak early In the day
on aelllng by local holders, who were dis
couraged by the liberal receipt of live
hogs. Later the market became steady
on fair buying by packer. At the close
May pork waa up 2So at llt.lt. Itrd
waa pft 2Uc at $9. til,. Rib were 2Vo
higher at t.02Vi.

C ATTU& T he recerpta or cattle this
morning were very llgnt and there wa no
tjuotaoie cnange in tne maraei.
The receipts this week have been very
liberal, showing large gains over last wteK
and over the corresponding week ot a year
ago a will be noted from the table of re-
ceipi at neaa 01 column. The quality
haa not averaged very high, the supply
consisting largely ot quite ordinary to lair
half fat or warmed up steer with quit a
sprinkling ot teeaer and a very liberal
showing of cow stuff. A feature of the re
celpta la the unusually large number, of

little stronger than one week ago
An Interesting feature of the cattle trade
haa been the very active demand for fleahy
feeder wetglng from 800 pounds upwarda.
The stockmen who have disposed of their
hort-fed cattle have, aa a rule, realised
good profits and seem inclined to fill up
their feed yard with a freen supply of
cattle for another short feed. Hence it is
that neshy feeder have been In the best
demand and have been strengthening up
until they are 15ir26o higher than they were
a week or ten day ago. A high a 84.80
wa paid for choice, well bred Idaho feed
er this week. The lighter stock cattle.
while not so mucn in demand, and while
1 not showing the advance have neverthe
less been fair sellers at fully steady prices.

PHEEP There were five fresh cat re
ported In this morning, all of them having
been sold before arrival, so that as a
matter of fact there wa nothing etually
on sale. For the week the receipts show
a decided gain over the previous week, but
a small decrease a compared with a year
ago. The fact I everybody combined this
wek to keep receipt down. The gTera.1
feeling wss that the market was not In
condition to stsnd large run. nd hence
all market reports sent out advised the
holding back of supplies. The result ha
been beneficial to the market.
During the first two days of the week
the tendency of prices was lower, but with
moderate receipts and a fair demand the
market took a turn for the better on
Wednesday and since that time ha had an
upward tendency. At the close of the week
prices an generally lffil5c higher than one
week ago, and in spots possibly nigner
than that. In other words, the market for
the week has been In very fair condition
and sellers without exception have been
well pleased with results.
The quality this week ha been very fair,
showing some Improvement over last week
that Is, there have been fewer short fed
and half fat sheep and lambs. Without
exception operators on the market are ex
pressing themselves as very confident a
to the future of the market. The only
thing to be dreaded Is excessive receipts,
which are always liable to occur when
prevailing prleea are so very attractive
and which are almost certain to be fol
lowed bv break In the market.

STRENGTH OF CONCRETE TRIED
Remarkable Leaning; nnd Restoration
of Fire-Story Building; In
Tanls.
Since the establishment of the French
protectorate over the Beylik of Tunis. Its
capital of the same name has never ceased
to grow In alxe, population and weu'th.
While the original Arab city occupied and
still occupies the higher and finer ground,
the new French extension spreads from
this In the direction of the Bahira, or Lake
of Tunis, to the modern port, which, by
mean of a canal constructed at a cost of
many million of francs, traverses the
shallow and silting lake and debouches In
the sea at Halg el Dued, La Goulette, the
former port. This flat stretch of land,
some miles broad, on which the French
town Is built. Is In the last degree marHhy
and - unstable, a terror to architects and
builders, and wonderful are the directions
from the perpendicular and' the horizontal
which many of the structures, for ttin
most part temporary, exhibit, collapsing
Into X-like or bulging Into O-llke forms.
A recent example, however, on this
marshy ground, far exceeding in Importance
any of the numerous and previous In
stances, and which offered for a few days
a modern analogue to the well known
leaning towers of Pisa or of Saragossa, de
serves record. The 8ocIete des Mlnorterles
Tunlslennes ha had In construction for
many months past three large buildings
for the storage of wheat and dour, which
Tunis now, as Carthage aforetime, ships
In abundance to Europe, a central and two
lateral block, the latter separated from
the central one by some little distance.
One of the latter waa observed to be grad
ually deviating from the perpendicular to
ward the central block, without, however,
losing It rigidity, and this movement con
tinued en masse for several hours, until
an angle of about twenty-five degrees waa
attained. The mass gradually displaced It
self a a whole, a monolith, a It were, but
the fall of the block wa pronounced on
all hand Imminent. The engineer and con
tractor, he eever, however, took heart of
grace, and, confident in the cohesion ot
the reinforced concrete, set about restoring
the Immense mas to the vertical.
This wa duly effected. In less than a
fortnight. The floor on the elevated aide
of the building were weighted. This coun
terpoise consisted ot aome 2,000 ton of
sand in sack on th ground or basement
floors and 2,000 tons on th upper stories.
Excavation war also made alongside tha
foundation on the high side so a to allow
of the soli giving way more easily. The
result wa all that could be desired under
the circumstances. The edifice returned to
the vertical (n a few days and wa then
completed.
The settlement has been very considera
ble, (or th building now stand some fif
teen or eighteen fet below its Intended
level. The site is, of course, In the last
resort responsible for these accidents, which
have been a source of no little expense,
delay and vexations. The ground, however,
wa declared sufficiently solid by the en
gineer whose plan were followed. The
displaced building remain whole and lt
part undisturbed, a wonderful testimony
of the cohesion and tenacity of these con
crete structure. Th reinforced concrete

skies, but there are those who maintain
that In such situation th better course
would be, at whatever expense, to adopt
the American system of building upon a

WOMAN'S NOSE FOUND FAULTY
Man'a Power of Scent I Five Time

Her.
An English doctor, having arrived at the
conclusion that no woman wa a Judge of
wine, atarted a series of experiment re
cently to determine th reason. He atarted
out with the proposition that the feminine
taste waa so bad that a woman could not
even distinguish whether a sample of wine
wa very good or very bad.
He located the Incapacity in the sense
of smell. A woman' sensitiveness to odors
he appraises far below that normally pos
sessed by men. The experiments were
made by diluting essences with pure water
and testing the limit of strength at which
men and women could detect them and dis
tinguish their character.
Th average man. It waa found, could
easily detect the presence of lemon essence
diluted with 2O0,0u0 times Its own bulk of
water. Women could only recognise It In a
mixture of one part In 4u,0u0.

FIRST INDIAN IN PRIESTHOOD
Only Red Man Who Ha Taken Holy
Order la the Cathollo
Chare a.
To bo tho first full-blooded Indian to b
come a Roman Catholic priest Is the un
usual distinction of the' Rev. Father Al
bert Negahnquet of Kansas, now con
ducting religious labor among hi fellow
tacemen In Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
80 far a now known. Father Negahnquet
Is the only living Roman Cathollo priest
who la a full-blood Indian.
Father Negahnquet waa born on tha Pot.
tawatomle reservation, near St. Marya,
Kan., in 1877. , Soon afterward ha waa
taken to Topeka by hi parent, and in
the Church of Assumption here he waa
baptized. He was the youngest of a fam-
Jly of ten children.
His parent and member of the family
moved to Pottawatomie county, Oklahoma,
where there are now many member of
hat tribe. In the southern part of that
ounty the Catholic In an early day ea-
abliahed a great community-, monastery,
schools and the like. The missionaries of
that church naturally came and worked
among the Indiana near by. Father
Negahnquet aa a boy waa sent to tha
school.
He waa an Interesting child, readily
trak'table, and he applied himself to hi
studies. Mother Katherlne Drexel, daugh
ter of the millionaire Drexel of Philadel
phia, had given large sum of money to
the support of these Cathollo Institutions,
and on the occasion of one of her periodi
cal visits she took notice of this particular
Indian boy. She never forgot him, and
when he became old enough, at her own
expense, she sent him to the large Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa. Later he wa trans
ferred to the Catholic college at Washing
ton, D. C, with the purpose In view of
educating him for tha priesthood.
He wa th honor man at Washington,
and from there he went Rome, the aeat
of the great church In whose cauae he
afterward wa to devote hi life. He
studied philosophy and theology there In
the Propaganda college, being one year
In the College of the Pope. He received
the blessing of Pope Leo XIII a ahort
time before the late pontiff waa stricken
with his last illness. Hi first maa a a
priest .he said at the hlstorlo column of
the Church of Santa Prasaedo, Rome, and
at the altar of Santa Colonna.
Before the departure from Rome of priest
of thl clans It I customary for each In
hi mother tongue to give an address, it
must have been strange when th young;
American Indian priest came forward and
In the tongue of hi fathers, the warlike
Pottawatomie, spoke. In tha class In
which he graduated these closing address
were given In forty-eight different lan
guage, as showing the groat variety of
nationalities represented.
Then Father Negahnquet sailed away to
Oklahoma territory and for a few weeks
wa th guest of hi parent In their rude
home. Boon afterward he sang th first
mas given by a full-blooded Indian priest
on American soil In the big Cathollo church
at Oklahoma City, Okl. HI consecration
was by Bishop Theophile Meerachaert of
Guthrie, Okl. The bishop spoke proudly
of the honor of consecrating the first In
dian priest and of having him In that
diocese.
Since coming back to America three year
ago. Father Negahnquet ha labored faith
fully among hi people and bl efforts
have been well rewarded. '
