A revival of tha ex port trade brought new strength today Into the market for wheat. Bullish estimates regarding the crop northwest gave help. In consequence, closing prices were Viic higher, than last-night. The end of the day, however, left corn down to net. and oats off Uc to lHo. Hog products finished alt the way from 10c loss to 17Ho gain. Sales of wheat to foreign countries were made both here and a,t Toledo. The news of these transactions had an Immediate effect, causing shorts to cover In a lively fashion. Another source of assistance to the bulla lay In explicit denials that the banks' here had been calHng In any loans on wheat. During the session September ranged from 87Sc to 8SV4C, closing easy, but. KUHc tip. '8745 880. Corn values' gave way under free sell ing for country account. Ratna In Ne braska ' favored 'the- bears. September fluctuated between D6Hd and 67Hc, with the close steady, but H to o net lower at 46Hc. Cash grades were easy. No. 2 yel low finished at lWitf67c. Free offerings of the new crop made tha oats. market heavy. High and low points touched by September wera 47Hc and 46c, with last sales 4bUo, a decline of Tic under last night. A rally In provisions was attributed to shorts covering because meat and lard shipments from Chicago for the Week were far short of a year ago. When the pit was closed pork varied from 10c lower to 17Ho gain. Lard and ribs hung virtually at last oight'a level. Articles ! Open. Hlgh. Low. Close. Tes y Wheat-!

Compared with a week ago the strictly good to choice dry-lot beeves are selling very nearly steady, while there has been a further decline of possibly ltKylbo on the medium and common grades that consti tuted a good share of the offerings. This Ulecllne Is largely due to the very bearish reports irom eastern markets tne latter part of the week, and the tone to the trade at the close was rather weak than other wise. Indications are that this spread in values will Increase as the dry-lot cattle become scarcer and the proportion of grassy and half-fat stuff becomea greater. No great change has taken place In the market for oows and heifers this week, and for the most part there has been a, broad outlet for all grades of she stock at prices fully as good as last week, and in tome cases better. Strictly good to choice dry-lot cows and heifers are becoming very scarce and find ready sale at strong figures right along, while the competition from feeder buyers for the thin and halt fat stuff has made a strong market for anything of this kind. In general the tone to the trade Is healthy and firm, with a broad outlet for anything at all useful In this line. Veal calves have been In liberal supply and are 2550c lower for the week. while bulls, stags, etc.. are selling mucn the same as a week ago. - Business In stockers and feeders has been lively all week, with the demand greater than the aupply. Prices at the cloae are fully 5OA60C higher than they were at the low point laat week, and a good clearance has been made, volume 01 Dusiness nas not been very large owing to the "limited supply, but there is every prospect that this volume will increase irom now on ana in dications are favorable for a strong, active market next week.

HOGS The hog market held an even keel, bulk ot supply changing hands on a steady basis. Light receipts put a better edge upon the demand and served In a measure to produce stability. The estimate called for only 88 cars and while variety and condition were seasonably sklppy, all classes moved with a fair degree of free dom. Clearance at 10:30 o'clock found the yards practically vacant. Purchases by shippers totaled about fif teen loads, orders calling for smooth, even loads rather than any particular weight. There was no speculative demand of conse quence and trade in general was unevent ful. Spreads remained fairly wide and quality was still a prime factor In determining price. Good heavy a.iimals sold on much the same basis as oomlnon butchers and poor lights In various Instances. Long strings rsnged from 86.20 to 86 27, while tops reached 88.40, a nickel higher than yesterday's limit, but a. dime under high price a week ago. ' Present scale of values, as compared with last Saturday's market, shows a loss of a big dime. . Supply has been featured by a deficiency of weight aa well aa quality, but the run has been relatively large in point 01 numoers. Kc.-i.ie. cuiatlve sales No. A. Sk.

Adjustment oi tamo values during ths week has been the main feature of th. trade lately. Prices failed to share in heavy general oeciiuea imsi wr ana not until this week were killers able to cheapen coat In line with reductions elsewhere, ha. cent business in fat lambs, both from range and core belt, averages about Hxalba lover than vajuea a week ago, ldtvhoa closing at o.fKo. (a. ji wouia ise a strictly cholea article to reach 87. 00, this limit being rela tively nign as compared with high quot tlons at other points. Ihe reason for tli eslump this week I round in a flood or light lambs cashed at Chicago and Kansaa City. Buyers at the former point say that runs of underweight lambs lately have been five times In exceas or their needs and lack or a feeder demand has only served to aggravate a bad situa tion. Orders from the country are small and scarce everywhere, but luckily local offerings bave tarried rather email feeder sorts.

Mrs. Sully Claims the Title to Large Area of South Dakota Land Brings Suit to Establish Her Eights, Contending' She is a Member of Sioux Tribe of Indians. SIOUX TAl.ua. e. r.. July IS. (Special.) Tuesday of next week has been fixed as the time (or tha preliminary to the final chapter in the ease of Mary Bully and Narcissus Drapeau against the United States, involving about 10,000 acres of land situated in the ceded portion of the Rose bud Indian reservation lo Gregory county. The land is worth approximately 8300,000. Mary Sully Is an Indian woman and Is tha widow of "Jack" Bully, tbe so-called kins; for many years of the cattle rustlers of the - Missouri river section of central South Dakota and the northarn border of Nebraska. Sully was shot and killed by a posse under Deputy United States Marshal John R. Petrle while resisting arrest on a federal warrant charging himself and mem bers of his gang with stealing torses and cattle from Bloux Indians. Mrs. Sully seeks to secure ths land ta accordance with her alleged rights as a member of the Sioux tribe of Indians. She claims that herself and children are en titled to the land as allotments under the i.nHi in U..NIIV mrt r.f ,,... The suit of Mrs. Sully and Drapeau had Its origin two or three years ago when they demanded of John H. Bcrlven, United States allotting agent for the Rosebud reservation, that the land claimed by them be allotted to them as members of tbe Sioux tribe of Indians. Allotting Agent Scrlven rejected their applications and fol lowing this they Instituted the action against the government with the object of compelling the allotting agent to allot them the lands In controversy. Drapeau's wife was Mrs. Sully's mother and was a full-blood Yankton Sioux Indian woman. Drapeau la a Frenchman and married Mrs. Sully's mother in ISM. They claim the right to be allotted the land In controversy through tbe mother of Mrs. Bully by reason of her having been adopted Into the Brule Bloux .tribe of Indians, who occupy the Rosebud reservation.

DAY LABOR FOR TRENCH WORK Plaaa Perfected for Constraetlna af ahaldlary Reservoir at Thlrty SeTFBtk Street gtatlon Re pair la PI pe Today. The contract was let Saturday for the pipe, fittings, valves and hydrants to be used In the new South Mnln street water main, twelve inches In, diameter and one mile long. It Involves the Immediate de livery of 350 tons of metal at a net cost of 811.665. The contract was given to the fnlted States Cast Iron ripe and Foundry company of Chicago. The entire delivery is to be completed within forty days. The price of the pipe delivered here Is 12.V4o a ton. The placing of the order by the Board of Water Commissioners demonstrated the lact that the cast iron pipe business Is In the hands of a trust. Blue prints and copies of the specifications were sent to fourteen different factories, foundries and Jobbers, together with all required Informa tion for intelligent bidding, with all bids to be received and opened yesterday. Not a single Inquiry was made and not a sin gle bid was received until the day before the time set for' the opening. Then one lone bid came In. very carefully prepared, covering every detail Involved. It was from the Chicago concern. It was quite evident to the commissioners that any de lay for the purpose of securing other bids would be fruitless. ' An examination of the market showed that the current prices quoted were above rather than below the figures named In the bid. This added to the necessity for Immediate delivery to permit the pipe to be laid this season prompted the accept ance of the bid. It was evident, however, that all manufacturers from whom bids were asked had a clear understanding with every other one.' Large Amoant of Material. The fittings, gates, valves, etc., comprise eleven and one-half tons. There are sixty two gates with their metal boxes, twenty five fire hydrants, fourteen with six inch feed pipes fitted - tor steamer use. The Iron, pipe includes 6,280 feet, just an even mile, of twelve-Inch pipe, 8.442 feet of. eight-Inch pipe and 3,522 feet of six Inch dimensions, 1,692 feet or three-quarter, inch lead pipe for connections, eighty-three curb boxes and eighty-three corporation taps. The cost of the lead pipe, which weighs four pounds to the foot, was 85.75 per 100 pounds. The total cost of the cast iron, all sizes, was 88,653; the fire hydrants, gates and valves, 81,887.26. The special fit tings cost 8576 and the lead pipe 8550. It will be noted that the order comprises nearly two miles of six and eight-Inch pipe, which will be used for extensions In other parts of the city. The only other material to be bought for all of these ex tensions is the pig lead to be used In calk ing the Joints, which will be obtained from the Omaha smelter. The prices for all of the material are very satisfactory. The pipe cost 82.66 per ton less than C. 8. Burns paid for ma terial fitting the same specifications, pur chased on the open market two weeks ago. No Coatraets tor Lay I a a; Pipe. The commissioners have decided to let no contracts for pipe laying but to do all the work under their own supervision. As the greater part Is common straight labor It Is believed that the cost of laying will be reduced to the minimum. The work will give employment to a large number of men for several months. It will all be done under the supervision of Superin tendent Ktnyre and Chairman Jensen. Trenches for the new steamer hydrants on Broadway will be begun on Monday. All but one will be laid on the south side of the street and will not Interfere with paving operations. C. 8. Burns, the hydraulic engineer en gaged in an advisory capacity for three years, returned to Kansas City yesterday. after spending a couple of daya examining the plans for the new subsidiary reservoir to be erected at the Thirty-seventh street station. Engineer Bums fully approved the plans, which were drawn by Mr, Etnyre. The new reservoir is to be 300 feet long and 200 feet wide. . Soundings show that a thick bed of gumbo lies a few feet below the surface on the site se lected for the big basin. At the thinnest place it was found to be four and one-half feet thick. Its surfacs approaches just to the point where the bottom of the basin was designed to be. The gumbo Is aa Im pervious to water as concrete, and the ' presence of this large bed at the exact place wanted will greatly reduce the cost of the reservoir. The gumbo rests on firm coarse gravel, and is covered by only a few feet of sand, which will be Just suf ficient to supply the material needed for the reinforced concrete walls. The walls will rise fourteen feet above the surface, and the water will flow with a fall of two feet to the Broadway pumping station. The reservoir will be divided into four compartments, with overflows connecting them. They will be so srranged that 9) per cent of the silt will be deposited in the first compartment, which Is located within 100 feet of the river bank, where it can be washed back Into the river with no cost. Water Shot Off Today. ' For two or three hours this afternoon water will be shut off in the heart of the city, not only from the Falrmount park reservoir, but from the pumping station, and the big pumps will be stopped or kept moving slowly to maintain the pressure In tbe twenty-four-inch main west from Sixth street. Stupidity, or something worse, that permitted a water works employe or a plumber to connect a two-inch pipe with tbe Broadway main to supply ths service at the Dohany theater building without pro viding a shut-off is responsible for the necessity for closing one of the big vslves in the main feed pipe of the whole system. Examination of the water service pipes along Broadway in advance of the new paving disclosed the fact that the two-Inch I P'P connection for the theater building was badly weakened ty rust and it was decided to replace. When an excavation was made at the point where the tap was made in the main pipe it was found that there was no stopcock, but that tha pipe had been threaded directly Into the big cast Iron main. The work was evidently done when the main was laid before the water as turned on. How many more such con nections there are Is not known, but Super intendent Etnyre devoutly hopes that there are not many. lie thinks the work may be done In a few hours, but all of the water contained In the main between tbe two valvea will have to be drained Into the ex cavation and pumped out In case of fire In the central district, which will only be sup- I plied by the small pipes lying south and 1 north of Broadway, ths valves will he cpened snd the work suspended. The pres sure In the central district will be very 1 light during the afternoon. I OI asses that fit, at Leffert'a. the big Jewelry store, where you get ths best for '. your money.
