OMAHA. May 2S. 1010.
Millers have been ?ood buyers of wheat
Since the cash wheat has taken this slump.
The discount In value has been heavy and
the general opinion la thai prices should

kets were wfuk In reports of more rain,
Which Is needed In the spring wheat belt.
Caen wheat was nervous and some further
decline Is likely.
Corn opened steady, but as wheat de
veloped weakness soon after the opening
Warmer weather and prospects of larger
receipts caused selling. Caxh market was
weak and samples were offered "o to la
lower. With favorable weatner value
should gradually work lower.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND rHOVISION
Features of the Trading- and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. May 28. The lowest prices of
the season were made In wheat today. A
Utile group of tale-enders gave up the fight
for the May option and sold out in amounts
all the way down to U8c, a sharp drop of
6'Ac from last night's figures. Because of
the poor buying support, new crop futures
finished He to lc to VtC down. Corn closed
Ho to la off and oats 1 to The last
quotations for , provisions was unchanged
to 2c lower.
Disinclination to stand out over two holi
days at the new low levels had much to do
with the remarkable lack of vitality Then,
too, fine rains all over the Canadian north
west and the Dakotas, further showers for
final filling of the winter wheat southwest,
and a general warming up of temperatures
were far from encourartng any symptoms
Of bullishness. An official call for 2.000
more harvest hands than were required last
year In Kansas was also out of line with
short crop prophesies.
The northwest reported country sales of
wheat liberal and the elevators lied grig
purchases. About the only Important Item of
the day from a bull standpoint was
the sale Of 600,000 bushels of cash wheat
here. One local milling concern bought
short, wheat here today. For new crop fu
tures Vie close was fairly steady, with Sep
tember showing a net loss of c to lc. The
range ror the high option was from 91Vc to
Mo, and the last price, vlHc to Vlc. May
closed at the bottom figure.
Corn was weak, cash Interests were free
sellers of the near deliveries in particular.
September rantced from 67WC to 68-0 and
closed o down at 67c. The cash market
also was wsak, No. 2 yellow closed at

Report of Illness of Morgan Affects
the Market.
DENIAL IS CABLED FROM EUROPE
France to Handle St. Paul Railroad
Donds and Is Also Anxious
for Oilier American
' Securities.
NEW YORK. Mav 28. (Sneclal Telegram.)
This w-k's Block market suffered a
number of narrow ralllf-s and declines. It
lackrd much of the llstlrssnrss of the. week
before, and yet it took on a holiday fn
ture through the fact that there wf no
trading today and will be none on Monday.
I here were several rumors and develop
ments which affected the market. One of
these wes anorher report that J. P. Morirnn,
sr., la. seriously 111 abrnad. So persistent
was trie rumor that today the contents of
a cablegram sent from Mr. Morgan In
London were made known, showing him
to be ln the best of health. The board of
governors of the Stock exchange has
started an Investigation to see If It can
learn the source of the latest Morgan re
port, but It Is a safe hazard that the source
cannot be found. Such reports start with
out rounnation and are exaggerated un
consciously until one has built a mountain
of a mole hill.
The stock market felt Indirectly the
nervousness of the grain and cotton mar
kets duo to. the assertion of James A.
Patten In Chicago that he would retire
from all active trading by July 1. This
knocked the bottom out of tho grain mar
ket and Investors and speculators who rud
derily found themselves caught In grnln
had to turn to the exchange for relief.
. Receipts of Money I.arare.
The receipts of money from the Interior
are still large. Despite the fact that this
was generally a holiday the bank state
ment was Issued as usual. During the
week New York banks gained over $4.VX.0W
en their currency movements. On transfer
operations with the Interior there was a
ret gsin amounting to $4,117,00.
On the United States sub-treasury ac
count, Instead of b large balnnce of receipts
lately shown, there was a balance of nearlv
$100,000. Approximately $7,W1,000 currency
was received from the Interior durln the
week by New York banks, while $1. 16I.0O)
was shipped direct to Interior institutions
from this center.
The shipment of gold from Paris and
Berlin to London lias eased the foreign
exchange here. We are about to enter a
month of extraordinary disbursements.
Dividend and Interest disbursements In
June are estimated at $((5,000,000, Including
payments on all classes of stocks and In
terest coming due during the month
or. bonds of every character. This Is $10,
000.000 more than was disbursed In June,
1909.. Among the largest dividends paid out
in next month are the following:
Atchison, $2,471,220; American Tobacco
company, $4,024,000; International Harvester,
$1,050,000; Standard Oil, $8,850,454; United
States Steel. 16.363.780.
Dividend payments during the month are
recorded at $40,000,000, while Interest due Is
$4,000,000.
The various railroads will disburse ap
proximately $6,757,000.
France Takes the Bonds.
A great deal of interest was attached to
the announcement that the French bank
ing syndicate, consisting of the Banque de
Paris et des Paysbas, Credit Lyonnalse and
the Bocletie Generale pour Favorlser de De-
eiopment du Commerce, has agreed upon
n issue prloe of 97 for the $&0,9oo,ooo worth
of St. Paul railroad debentures. It Is be
lieved that another announcement will be
made shortly to cover another placing of
American bonds abroad.
There Is no doubt that St. Paul will earn
Its full dividends In this fiscal year. The
gross earnings In April of that road were
nearly $1,000,000 In excess of the same period

stock. With more than a montn or tne
present fiscal year still remaining, Louis
ville & Nashville earnings up to May 26
were $1,000,000 in excess of the entire year

ment In railroad and financial circres.

CATTLE As usual on a Saturday, there
was noiiung of any consequence on sale
in the way ot beef cattle anu tne market
was nominally steaay wun yesterday.
Prices nave Lcen very lrresuiar all wees.
partly awing to the uneven distribution
of tue receipts and partly owing to tne
tact that eastern markets were reported
very unsatisfactory. uotu local dressed
bee men and eastern buyers snowed a
strong preference tnrougnout the wsek for
the neavy and well finished cattle, and as
compared nun a week ago, tnese do noi
snow mure man a I0itf15c decline. On tne
other hand, an classes of buyers nave been
very bearish on tne general run 01 medium
and pretty good steers and values show a
drop ot tully 2u4j5o for tne week.
in cows and neuers tne maraei pm kmu
largely influenced by tne uoeral receipts
of lexas cattle at other points. Strlouy
good to choice fat kinds have commanded
a ready sale right along at prices very littie
lower than a week, ago, and tne same holds
true as to the thin and common graaea.
The In-between kinds have suffered a de
cline of tully 26835o and have been very
slow and Indifferent sellers throughout..
Veal calves nave been in good request
rignt along at fully steady prices, but
there has ueen a lvtc25c drop In quotations
tor bulls, slags and rough biook. generally.
In Blockers and feeders tne volume of
business has been small. The recent heavy
decline In prices has naturally stimulated
buying to some extent and the strictly
good 10 choice light tirades of steers and
nelters have sold to good advantage rlgnt
along. Tne ordinary run of Blockers ana
feeders nave snown uiue cusim iu
with the trade quiet irom start to finish.
A good clearance has been made for the

PASSING OF FOREPAW'S BEAUTY
Recollections of at Bit of Circus Bam. ,
boos I In a; Worked by
Press Aarent.
When Ixiulse Montague, the famous
'$10,000 beauty" died In New York recently
the atar reporters pulled the high-speed
levers on their imaginations and wrote
pretty fair stories about her and her
career. A few of them, too, walled in deep
organ tones, that Just oozed tears, over the
pathetic ending of her life. She had made
unhappy investments and the Ilka and they
contrasted the poverty of her last days
with the gilded glory of those when she
focused public attention.
All this read well, but It couldn't stand
the litmus paper test of accuracy. Mlsa
Montague never made unfortunate Invest
ments that dragged her down because she
never had any money to invest.
The whole scheme of the "$10,000 beauty"
was merely a big bit of circus bombooxllng
and it mads auch a hit because it was
pulled oft in the early days of gold-brlck-
ing . the public It Is true that Barnum
had fooled the people from the start of
his career, but he waa alone in this decep
tion. No one seemed to have the brain
to fake In the wily way of Phineas T.
At last, however, somebody In the I'ore-
paugh employ hit on this scheme and It
took like fire. The most beautiful woman
In the country was advertised for and a
contest started. The winner waa to get
$10,000 and a princely Income for her ap
pearance In the Forepaugh parade and the
Grand Entree" Alto the circus ring.
The press was "worked" with uncommon
Ingenuity. The whole country talked of
the contest for months, and when Louise
Montague, was finally officially selected
and tagged with the title of the most
beautiful woman In the world, the great
public all over the country was ' wild to
see her.
A circus street parade Is always an event.
but those Forepaugh processions estab
lished records for the crowds they drew
and the early appearance - of the spec
tators. These would be on hand hours
ahead ot the time, so to secure the best
points of vantage.
And then, when the parade hove In sight.
the excitement was as great as If the Ah-
koond of Swat was on view, and much
more Intense than the appearance of the
president would produce).
Miss Montague was seen sitting on a
throne on top of a gilded globe, symbolical
of the world. Ehe was flamboyantly ar
rayed, and the whole float was of the ex
travagant, gilded gingerbread style) that
circus men delight In.
It was Uie best of fun to stand In u
crowd and hear the comments that followed
a first sight of Mlsa MCntague. Bhe was
a pretty woman, but not uncommonly so. It
was understood that she was a chorus girl
In one of George W. Ledercr's shows, and
Forepaugh hired her to pose in this pulchrb
tudlnous way for only a little -bigger sar
ary than she had been paid In oomlo opera.
If she had appeared unheralded, the mul-
tltude would have considered her a rather
pretty gtrl and thought no more of it, but
with the expectations at fever heat, the
sight of this $10,000 beauty mads for crltl
clams, amusing and Jeering. I hare no
doubt that Miss Montagu heard thsm, but
they never caused her face, to break from
that "front row" chorus girl smile of hers.
She lasted out tho season with Forepaugh
and then returned to the stago, where the
advertising she had received got her good
parts. She played with more or less suc
cess for some time, but for the last ten
years or so she wasn't before the publlo.
She lived quietly with her son In New Tork
and all the stories of the vivid and pathetic
contrasts of her career that have been
printed of late are merely that much news
paper flapdoodle. .
The whole affair la Interesting merely
b showing the credulity of the public It
Is not as simple-minded now, of course, but
the right kind of a fakir can still fool it.
as witness the recent vogue of some amas-
Ing press atrent stunts. They didn't ' all
cease when Mansfield, translated to another
world, stopped throwing mutton chops for
Paul Wllstach to write about, or Anna Held
took her lost milk bath. Still It Is safe to
ay that there will never be aV theatrical
hoax of the magnitude of this $10,000 bewuty

There is a larger demand for both pig nod i
and for flnlsned products, especially in
agricultural and structural lines. Demand
Irom railroads for equipment Is small, re-
stricted by the uncertainty iigar.ll.isT
freight rates, yet some good business in
rolling stock is regarded as certain and
rails have beu taken In moderate amounts.
Huylttg of cotton goods Is still limited,.,

says:
Cjutot rules in trade and many lines of in- 1
dustry, while, speculation, except ln grain,
seems in a waiting stage, pending clearer
views of ultimate crop and price outcome.'
Relatively most activity ln Johlug trad
la centered In meeting current demands and
fall business still lacks form.
, Ketall trade has shown some gain at lead
ing western markets, hut Is still classed
as below expectations. Unseasonably cool i
weather Is commonly assigned as the cause J
for backward trade, but there are still In f
evidence the signs that uncertainly as tot
prices hold back future commitments. i
Relatively best reports come from the
northwest, but there Is rather more doing
at some western markets, though coll, wst
weather was a bar to activity at most clt tV
Southern trade Is, on the whole, slight
better. Eastern advices are of slight gams
In some lines, but ot quite characterizing
trade as a whole. Jjk
In Industries, the features are the conTV
tlnuance of the rather morv cneerful feel
ing noted last week In Iron and steel, based
on recognition of the effect of shut downs
upon crude production and the apparent
putting Into effect of Blmilar measures ln
the leading textile lines.
Cotton mill curtailment promises to ba
more widespread next week than at any
previous time since the present trade re
action bcame evident. A full week's shut
down of many eastern mills Is scheduled.
Collections are classed as about fair as a
whole.
