Oats unchanged and provisions unchanged to fie higher. The wheat market was nervous all day. the range of prices extending over 2c. Mod erate firmness was cause at the openiag by covering by shorts. The, market then weakened on realising, the May delivery being especially heavy.

UNCOVERED SHORTS BUY HEAVILY Ramon et Raise In Freight Ratea Cansea Strength in Railroads Late Reaetlon I Dne to Profit-Taking. NEW YORK. March 11. The aggressive speculative leadreshlp which took hold of tne stock market late laat week asserted Itself again today, and prices were lifted substantially. It was not until two hours ot the sedslon had expired that the move ment got under way, the Interval being filled up by uncertain drift In the price movement which marked the conduct of further testing operations by the leaders of the operations on the long side of the market. When operations were resumed In an ag gressive way the Improvement In the tech nical pnsltton of the market resulting from yesterday's action became manifest. The hesitation In the upward movement yesterday had reaulted In a large extension of the short Interest, as the prof eoslonal ele ment had been distrustful of the advance from the outset and were wishful for an opportunity to put out short lines. These uncovered shorta made a potential de mand for stocks In advance, which aided the bulls materially. The digestion of Iroflts effected by yesterday's stilling also eft the sellers In a strong position to re new their holdings. The obvious centrali sation of the operation fostered the con viction that Important financial Interests were embarked In a concerted movement for extending the rise, with the probable approval of banking interests looking to the furtherence of coming plans for neces sary financing which confront them. The ubturn In the market was notable for a re vival of rumors of Important developments, which lacked verification and which were In themselves vague as to form and some what confused as to substance. The most potent of these In Its effect on the market waa a revival of the report set afloat last week that conferences were In progress to secure assurance of permis sion being granted by the Interstate Com merce commission to the railroads to adopt a moderate advance in freight rates In return for agreements to maintain wages by tho railroads. There Is a general recog nition of the necessity confronting the rail roads to secure a readjustment of the proportion of profits to earnings either by reduction of expenses or by Increase of charges. Ths current assumption In the speculation Is that the government officers will be so sollcitious to maintain wages ot labor that consent will be given to an In crease In freight rates. No official sanc tion has been had for the view. Circum stantial reports were published today of concerted plans among the railroads to re duce wagea. The stress laid on the fact of heavy curtailment of earnings by rail road officials la taken to mean that the argument for the necessity of the cut In wages shall be enforced on public atten tion. The day's speculation held Its view of a probable agreement between railroads and the national authorities, In spite of tho lack of official confirmation. The con spicuous leadership of Union Pacific in the movement waa due to revival of re ports that the plan for segregation of that company's investments was ripe and In volves an extra disbursement to stock holders. The extra dividend rumor was revived to apply to the Northern Pacific also. The strength In Reading was con nected with a report that a. compromise waa being prepared by the Department of Justice to test the commodity clause of the Hepburn law which wouldexempt the coal roads from penalties for noncompli ance pending the decision of the suit. Tho reaction late In the day was partly due to profit taking. The instructions from Presi dent Roosevelt to tho commissioner of corporations to Investigate stock trading was not generally known on the floor of the Stock exchange before the closing, but It Is probable that some of the late selling came from the early Informed on Its con tents. The market closed distinctly weak In consequence. Bonds were firm; total sales par value, 32,896.0(0. United States bonds were un changed o.i call.

BOCTlt OMAHA, March 10, 1908, CATTLE Recolpta were fair this morning so far as numbers were concerned and good when It came to the matter of quality. There were more strlcely good killers In the yards than for soma time back, and some of the best cattle seen here this season. Packing house representatives were all out in the yards In good season this mora ing. which was a pretty good indication that they wanted cattle. Under the influence of a good demand the market started out quite briskly and the most of the beef steers changed hands by 10 o'clock or soon after. While the market was uneven, there being a wide difference In the bids of different buyers, the tendency was higher. Salesmen were mostly quoting it as strong to lOo higher and active at tha advance. Cows and heifers were also In good de mand and they showed improvement in about the same proportion as beef steers. SOUTH OMAHA, March tl. 1908. Receipts were: Cattle, iloga.
