However, the bears pushed Rio prices down fi'alO points, aided by wesk fo-rlgn sdvlces. 9.ntoa prices field firm. ' Ixk ally the market is steady and unchanged. Teas leaplte the small visible supply and generally strong situation, prices of the better grades do not seem to tuaks any headway toward an advance. The market continues ateady at unchanged quotations, with the movement mostly In a small way. The medium and lower grades are having the rail and are In lightest supply, some say scarce and hard to get. Canned Frulls Peaches and gallon ap ples have evinced a little more activity ourmg tne last week, other lines nulot. with no price chajiges. 1'ntll packers an nounce the l?OS prices there is not likely to be much change In quotations In the canned fruit line. Jobbers report that the conservative buying of late Is no different than other years at this season. No on wanta to he overstocked at this late dnte without knowing what the I! quotations will be. " Canned Vegetables Teas are scarce and higlier. Corn and tomatoes are bciog of fered by eastern packers at slight conces sions, with the trading confined principally to small lots.

Mackerel are rirm, with a tendency to advancing Prices. In fact, with the exceptions of herring, fish is not overly plentiful. The local price lists are unchanged.

The Tigers picked up 3SS points last week. King Solomon Is having a new flagpole made and declares that no other flag shall adorn It but the pennant of the Metropol itan league. Both teams are working hard and It remains to be seen which will have an off night between now and the close. Three weeks remain In the Commercial league race, and It looks very much as though the Bicycles' had the pennant cinched, with the Byrne-Hammers and the Clarke fighting for second place, the Fal staffs fourth and the Cole-McKennas cinched for last.

BOHEMIAN BOjJKS IN LIBRARY Addition 4hat Means New Denartmeat for the State Library Com. mission's Work.. mnnsssmjmn The Nebraska state library will receive next week a new addition in the form of a Bohemian department. Although the slato of Wisconsin has had such a department for several years, the Nebraska department will bo considerably larger. The Idea of establishing a Bohemian department for the purpose of making It a traveling library was suggested by the secretary of the Library commission. Miss Charlotte Temple ton, some, time ago. It was hoped the last leglslature'wbuld make a liberal allowance for tho state public library, which would enable the commission to establish a Bo hemian department and poaalhly depart ment of other languaea also. Tb legisla ture was not ss liberal as the Library com mission exnected. and hence the establish ing of foreign language department ap peared ImpracUcatl. Mis Tcmpleton, at ono. of her visit In Omaha last summer, suggested to Mr. John Roslky that th com mission would undoubtedly take care of Bohemian library. If such was donated, and acting upon this suggestion, three Bohemian association, the Tel Jed Bokol. Pod. 8okol Tyrs and th Bohemian Freethinkers' union, took th Initiative, .elected a Joint committee, which waa tc solicit funds for the purpose of establishing a Bohemian department of th state library. The effort of the com mittee were successful and contribution of upwards of $500 were collected towsrds tho purpose and an order sent to Prague for a carefully selected list of books, containing none but original works of Bohemian auth ors. The Shipment arrived last Saturday and the commute was busy to arrange the rame, so that It might b forwarded to the commission on Monday of this week. ,. The, number of book received from Prague is about 800. Bealdsa ths about fifty volumes were donated by Mr. Geringer. a publisher In Chicago, and th National Printing compaay of our tty, so that the Bohemian department will have about 850 volumes, Including many of th best works of th Bohemian literature. It Is Intended to dtrid these books la about twenty col lections of thirty book each for th travel ing library and keep such work, aa may serve beat as references, at the library for th uae, of th student of th university. It I expected that this Bohemian depart ment will be enlarged from time to time aa the occasion will require. The traveling library will be sent out to the Bohemian settlements wherever a call will come front and proper arrangements will t mad fo taking proper car of the books under thi itma rule that apply to the traveling d partment of the el at library.
