TSJte wheat traders ww nervous on the
opening market, a today was the last de
livery day on May contracts, the May op
tion phoning a sharp upturn. V o situation
In the ntw cu,)i months Is locked upon as
beln bearish becauDe of the additional
fine rains alnee the holiday, Both winter
a 'id pi1n wheat crops are now In excel
lent ihnpe.
The run of corn to primary markets has
bren heavy, due to the beneficial rains over
the bin corn males. The Increase In re
ceipts has checked any upturn in the cash
values, while futures are showing- a de
clining tendency.
With the exception of the May contracts
wheat ruled weak and some lower. Itearish
sentiment was due te fine crop outlook 'n
all sections. Caih wheat was c lower.
Corn ruled easier, with wheat and good
growing weather with plenty of moisture
made country dealers free sellers. Cash
corn wns He lower.

els and shipments were 2i.0u0 bushels,
against relcelpts last year of 2fi4,000 bushels
and shipments of 543,000 bushels.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Featares of the Trading; and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 31. Although this was
the final day for the delivery of whent on
May contracts, and there had been much
talk of a '"corner," the exciting time looked
for on 'change did not develop during the
early part of the session. Only a fair gen
eral trade was witnessed, the most of It
between local traders and not In the May
option, but as a general rule the new crop
months.
A few transactions In May showed that
the bulls had control of the market, but
were apparently not In a mood to squeeze
prices In the sensational fashion that many
dealers had been led to expect. A rise of
Ho to lc proved to be the limit of advanoe
for the time being so far as May delivery
was concerned. Other months actually
showed a net decline. May touched 11.04.
as compared with $1.03 Monday night, but
steadied around 31.034. July opened at
88c to 88TstjK9e. varying from Ho lower
to Ho up; sold at 89c and then receded to
S8H8c- Contrary to predictions, most
of the business in May was In small lots,
which were peddled out as required.
SubsequentlyMay went up to 104, but
other months showed relatively little sym
pathy. About 1,000,000 bushels were de
livered on contracts, an amount far under
popular estimates beforehand. The close
was firm for May at a net gain of l4c.
July finished easy Ho up at 89 He.
Corn eased off on account of fine weather
and big accounts. July opened unchanged
to H'SHc lower at Kr, to 62HSjT3c, touched
(So and declined to 62V.
A little rush of shorts caused a rather
abrupt temporary rise In May. The close
was steady at 63H863Hc for July, a net
advance of Ho.
Renting orders to buy rallied oats from
Initial weakness due to fine rron reports
July started HfiHe down at SH835Ho and
recovered to SMfcc.
A liberal run of hogs pulled down pro
vision prices. First sales were 2H6c to
17Hc off, with July at 114.70 for pork.
18 OTH-fiMO for lard and $7.90 for rtbs.
Prices In Chicago furnisned by. the Up

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Review of Operations on Stock Ex
change During; ine Day
NEW YORK, May Sl.-Decided strength
was shown by the railroad stocks at the
opening of the market today. The metal
shares exhibited marked weakness follow
ing the cut In prices of steel products.
American Tobacco 4s rose 8H and the pre
ferred dropped a point. Canadian Paclfio
Kolned 2, Union Pacific 1H, St. Paul, Erie
first preferred and Northern Pacific 1H
and Reading 1. Amalgamated Copper and
United States Steel lost 1.
Prices broke badly soon after the Initial
dealings, the market going off under a
deluge of selling orders. Induced by profit
taking sales, fears of further investigations
of Industrial corporations and the uneasi
ness caused by the violent fluctuations In
American Tobacco Issues. Opening ad
vances were converted In looat liutiaiices
into substantial losses. Amalgamated Cop
per and eWntinghouse Electric sold 3 points
under Monday's closing; United States
Steel and Heading 2 and a score or more
of other stocks from 1 to 2H. Large deal
ings In American Tobacco firsts sent them
up from 85H. Monday's close, to 93H. with
a reaction to below 90. The 6s broke 7 points
to l')3. Consolidated Tobacco 4a Jumped 5
points to 90. American Snuff preferred gave
away 8 points and American Tobacco pre
ferred 3.
Traders attached considerable Importance
to the persistent selling of United States
Steel, which touched 75. The extreme
weakness of this stock, which is now about
6 points below its high level of Monday a
week ago, encouraged the bear faction to
put out considerable stock. A further de
cline In American Tobacco to 418 placed it
82 points under Monday's closing and 102
points below Its record price of last week.
Business was very quiet during the early
afternoon and prices only a trifle above
the lowest.
The American Tobacco decision and the
reduction of prices of steel products de
pressed the stock market this morning and
prices fluctuated violently. Following the
general rise In London the market here
opened with substantial gains in almost all
of the prominent stocks, with the exception
of United States Steel and Amalgamated
Copper. By the time trading was well
under way, however, the market began to
show the eliect or heavy selling. The pres
sure, which was directed particularly
against United States Steel, quickly- re
sulted In a general setback. The most
sptctacular losses occurred on the "curb."
where American Tobacco dropped 76 points
during the morning to 425.
The losses were extended during the sec
ond hour. Union Pacific fell 34 and Read
ing 3't below their opening prices and
United States Steel dropped to 3 points be
low Monday's closing.
Bonds were easy.
With a recovery In American Tobacco to
430 the entire market gathered strength
and there was a sharp rally, reaching to a
point In Union Pacific.
Further weakness continued In the after
noon. All the standard stocks were heavy.
It waa reckoned that at 418 the deprecia
tion In American Tobacco shares showed a
shrinkage of values of $102,000,000. Up to
noon bond sales totaled 82.7&0.O0O, largely
tobacco Issues and stock sales were then
Oup.ooo shares.
The market closed strong. The short
Interest covered extensively In the clos
ing hour and there was also large buying
for the long account, which advanced the
market. Rallies throughout the lint ran
from 1 to 2 points, with business on as
large a scale as during the early selling
movement.
Number of sales and leading quotations
on stocKS were as loiinws

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were 'the
largest today that they have been so far
this week, but the total for the three days
foots up only 8,500 head, as against 13,uo0
head last week and 10,700 head a year ago.
While the moderate receipts were very
much In sellers' favor still advices from
some other selling points were discouraging
and that fact made Itself felt in the trade
here.
Packers seemed to have use (or all the
beef steers in sight but with lower prices
reported at some other selling points they
were inclined to go a little slow, and in
some cases were actually bidding quite a
little lower than yesterday. Still the mar
ket was pretty close to steady, although
the wire edge was off the trade as com
pared with .yesterday ..the tendency being
lower.
. The most desirable, fat heifers and cows
were close) to steady, but the less desirable
kinds were slow 'and- hard to move. This
was especially true of canners, whlcbrhave
been very dull thla week.
There were more stock cattle In the yards
than have been; seen here in some days,
and in consequence the market was not
quite so strong as-yesterday, but still the
offerings generally sold to very good ad
vantage and at prices that were relatively
high compared with beef steers.

HUUS Sellers of hogs described today's
market at a 6yi0o lower affair, "with plenty
01 accent on the dime." The larger decline
was usual during early rounds, but the
trade Improved slightly toward the close,
much lato business showing lesser reduc
tions. Heavy supplies were moved in fairly ac
tive fashion, all of a 183-car run finding an
outlet before 11 o'clock. Variety of weights
was much the same as recently, and
spreads between lard, butcher and bacon
grades held at usual narrow margins.
Local packing concerns furnished the
main orders and practically everything sold
for South Omaha slaughter. Right around
a half-dosen ioads were purchased on out
side account, so that competition from ship
ping and speculative quarters had no ap
preciable Influence in the trade.
Lard animals, heavies and weighty
butchers ranged around $6.&6.70, and
even loads of bandy butchers landed at
$5.76 and better. Full loads of bacon hogs
made a top of $6.90. a rew bead of light
wagon arrivals reaching $6.95.

SHEEP The situation in the sheep barn
today was largely a repetition of yester
day's trade In point of demand. Regular
buyers were out in the alleys early, but
their presence did not indicate a need for
any kind of stock. Conversation rather
than business appeared to be the order of
the clay and very few offerings changed
hands until well along toward noon.
Cause of poor Inquiry could not be
credlty to supply, as only thirteen doubles
were received, about half of the run con
sisting of wooled Mexican Inmbs. A
slumpy market In the east wns the ruling
bear Influence and an apparent lack of
demand was doubtless prompted by In
structions to hold off and cheapen cost.
Lanmbs. when the trade finally started,
had to sell nt uneven declines from yester
day's prices. A 15c break was generfal,
but the scale of values proved uneven, so
that reductions in various Instances were
even larger. Mexican lambs In fleece
moved at find near $7.25 . and shorn wes
terns had to be good to pass the $rt.00 mark.
There was little change In sheep, as the
meager offerings of ewes and wethers
lately can easily be sold throuyji local
dressed mutton channels. Shorn ewes of
good quality brought $4.2.") and wooled
ewes commanded $4.60. There were no
yenrllngs of consequence on sale.

TO STOP SPOONING IN .PARKS
I s
Chief Donahue -Has Had Several Com
. plaint: of Late.
TO SEEK A WAY TO STt)P Tl
Park Board May Adopt Strlagent
Rules, bat. Then, It Mast Seek
Way . to Enforce
Them.
Love-lorn maidens and youths who have
made the public parks of Omaha their
rendezvous for spooning these last few
weeks will have to seek other spots If the
chief of police listens to the walls from
staid old clttxens who have filed com
plaint). The old fellows can't find a place to
rest in the parks, they say. Spoony couples
usurp all the places of vantage and, there
right before the eyes of the populace,
they kiss and spoon until the old fellows,
chagrined and "disgusted," are forced to
wend their way slowly back to their
homes, where the breezes do not blow as
softly as In the wooded dells.
Miller park, Hanscom park and River
view park are said to be more congested
than any of the other publlo parks and
at times it's a merry scramble for seats.
Especially during the evening hours,
when the moon peeks through the trees,
do the love-sick youths congregate in the
parks. A mystic something draws the
young folks there. Cars leading to the
parks are laden with young men and
women who may not know how to con
Jugate the Latin verb "amo," but they
surely know how to put the meaning Into
practice.
"I have had several complaints since the
spring months got under full blast," said
Chief Donahue Wednesday morning. "Some
crusty old citizens want me to stop the
practice. But I confess that I don't know
what to do about it. I am afraid to send
any of my men- out to these places; they
might become infected with the bug and
I d have to send others to round them up.
"We might form an antl-spooning club.
However. I don't think there would be
much of a rush for membership. The
park board, if it sees fit, might adopt
rules precluding the people with the
amorous saulnt from freauenting the
parks; then they can enforce them as
they can."
DAVIS WILL NOT RUN FOR
OFFICE OF POLICE JUDGE
Bays) that He Withdraws His Nam
In the Interest of Other
Candidates.
Charles Davis, councilman from the
Twelfth ward, announced Wednesday morn
ing that he would not be a candidate for
election as police Judge to succeed Bryce
Crawford.
"I am withdrawing in the Interests of
other republican aspirants who feel that If
I made the race I would cripple their
chmances," said Davis. "Politicians told
me that if I and other members of the
council aspired to other offices, one or
the other or maybe both of us would be
defeated. So in the t iterest of Joe Hum
mel, who is slated to head the ticket for
sheriff, I have decide not to run for the
police Judgshlp." i

NEW SPECIFICATIONS
FOR STREET LIGHTS
More Definite Scheme of Proposition
for Illumination la Dram
by Rlne.
New plans and specifications for bids for
street lighting with gas have been drawn
by John A. Rlne, clt? attorney, and will
be presented to the city council at an
adjourned meeting Thursday morning for
approval.
The new plans are much more definite
than the old ones," says the city attor
ney, "and Include specifications for equip
ment, for maintenance, for gas and for
various comblnstions of these details."
Two provisions are made for the bids
for equipment. One stipulates that the
hoods and burners shall be Installed, while
the other asks for prices f. o. b. A new
bid is requested for gas in view of the
provisional offer submitted by the Omaha
Qas company, when it agreed to furnish
gas at $1 per thousand cubic feet.
"We have had a conference with the
gas company's officials and they have told
us that they would accept a controller
which would regulate the flow of gas,"
said Mr. Rlne. "The -monthly consumption
is to be based on the regulation of these
governors.
"Whether the council will decide on
municipal operation, I do not know, but
If the members decide for such a project
they will have a set of specifications over
which there will' be no further discussion.
Tbe specifications are to the point."
