RANK OF GRAIN MARKETS
Omaha Market Seventh in Beceipts of
All Grain.
LAKE POETS SHOW GAINS
Conntina Receipts frem Primary Mar-
keta Dnlnth and Milwaukee Rank
Ahead of Inland Markets, as
Phown by Federal Report.
According to the report of the Dnrtment
of Commerce and Labor, received at tho
Omaha drain exchane-r. Friday, Omaha
ranks sixth in wheat, third in corn and
fourth In oats as a primary grain market
for the year of 1907, but it is given st venth
place in the total receipts of grain.
For the year of 1906, Omaha had greater
receipts than Milwaukee, but In. 1907 the Mil
waukee receipts are given as the heavier.
The total receipts in Omaha for 1907 were
42.C97.000 ttrhlle the Milwaukee receipts are
given as 46,314,000. In 1906 the total receipts
at the Omaha market were 44.530,000 bushels
and the Milwaukee receipt's 43,421,000 bushels.
But the report shows Duluth as a grain
market receiving more than 69,000,000 bush
els of grain. The report of the Duluth re
ceipts shows that over 50,000,000 bushels of
the grain reported as received at Duluth,
was forwarded from Minneapolis, where the
shipments were 62,000,000 bushels.
How Lake Markets Grow.
The lake ports, while not receiving the
grain from the country as primary markets,
have receipts enlarged by reporting all
which passe through the elevators or
loaded on boats, which pushes the non
lake port markets down the scale as
markets.
Grain flealora Hav that if It were not for
the lake shipping and grain forwarded to
and received from other cities Omaha
would stand ahead of both Duluth and
Milwaukee. As the reports are made up
the same grain is reported received at
Minneapolis, shipped from Minneapolis, re
ceived at Duluth, shipped from Duluth and
received at Milwaukee. Sutfh'a counting
puts Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis to
a disadvantage. It Ik believed that Omaha
really stands fifth In the total receipts of
grain for the year of 1907, counting only
the grain on Us Initial move from the
farms to the consumer. For the twelve
months the receipts and shipments were
as follows:

L0BECK MAKES HIS STATEMENT
This Does Not IlaTe Reference
the Proceeds from Fifty Thou
sand Dollars llonds
For Sale.
Available money In the Intersection fund
according to estimates of the city engineer
and on certificates Is Just $1,021.13.
This statement la from an official compil
ation of figures by C. O. Lobeck, city
comptroller, In answer to a resolution
passed by the city council Thursday, Instructing-
that cfflcial to make a complete
accounting of certain funds, the aim of
tho resolution being to find out exactly
Just how much money Is available for
paving purposes the coming year. Mr.
Lobeck Is pow perfecting his report to be
presented at the next meeting of the coun
cil Tuesday evening.
One clause of the council's resolution calls
for a statement showing "all balances now
unused for Intersection purposes In dis
tricts heretofore paved," the opinion being
held that there are unaccounted balances
remaining where all the money aproprlated
for certain work was not used. This Is not
the case, says the city comptroller. When
the whole of the estimate was not used
only that part of the sum used has been
taken from the fund, the balance being left
In the fund and not kept separate. In
other cases the estimates have not been
largo enough and additional money has
been paid from tho fund.
About Quarter of Million.
In reference to the amount of money
needed for interest of bonds during the
next six months, as asked for by theyt-eso-lutlon,
Mr. Lobeck was unable to quote
exact figures at this time, but he telleves
It will be In tne neighborhood of $1100,000.
This will be paid out of the sinking fund.
The council also asked for all bonds ma
turing within the next six months and the
amount of money available for the con
struction of main sewers. Two sets of
bonds mature May 1, $100,000 of paving
bonds and $10,000 of sewer bonds. The
money for the taking up of $3,000 city hall
txhds Is now on Its way to New- York.
Trie sum of $131,125.91 Is available In the
sewer fund.
,To the $1,021.12 available for paving can
be added the new Issue of $50,000 bonds
when sold.

tmarded. i Action, ' ,
Chief of Police Donuhue has taken occa
sion, following the shooting of Detect Ivj
Drummy last Saturday by a negro, to send
a letter to the police captains and all mem
bers of the police department commanding
calmness, coolness and good Judgment,
pointing out that the fact that a foul crime
has been committed by a colored man Is
no Indication that all members of tho
colored race are on a par with this
murderer. Ho warns agalnBt prejudice an3
counsels calmness. The letter follows:
Captains MoHtyn, Dunn and Savage and
all members of the Omaha Police Depart
ment. Uentli-men: We as police officers,
one and all, together with the entire com
munity, regret and deeply deplore the un
warranted and untimely murder of Detec
tive S. S. Drummy, ono of our beloved and
most efficient officers, while In the dis
charge of his duties. : And while our sym
pathy Roe.l out to his bereaved wife nnd
fatherless children yet we must under
stand Hint we. as nollce officers, have A
great and Important duty to perform. We
V must not fall to realize that at this tlms
and In the future we must be more cnreful
than ever In our duties as police officers.
That is, we must not let that sympathy
which we have for our brother officer and
his family In any way Interfere or pr3
Judlce us in the diBchsjge of our duty and
see that the sume cure und precaution ex
ist now and In the future 111 arresting crimi
nals as always. We must act carefully and
cautiously In the handling of firearms and
at all times be sure wc are in the right be
fore firearms are put in service.
While this deeply deplorable act was one'
of a vicious, cowardly villain, yet that does
not mean that all others of his color are
in sympathy with such an act, as we have
In this community a large population of
colored people, a large majority of whom
we have confidence in as being good, up
right and law-abiding citizens who I firmly
believe deplore the murder committed by
one of their color and who J believe are In
sympathy with all other good citizens thnt
this man should have been dealt with In
accordance witli the law and see that the
ends of Justice might bo served should he
have lived.
The same courtesy and treatment should
be extended to tho colored peoplo of this
community by the police officers In tho
future as has always been done In the past,
and such action on the part of the police
department of this city will be approved
of by every good cltisen, both white and
colored. J. J. DONAHUE. .
