GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Selling1 by Long in Corn Encourage Bearish Sentiment. WEATHER IS JIORE FAVORABLE Rr Karri lea of BlarU Itost Reports la ortajtTesl profit Taking; oa Lor Wheat la nf tlclently Large tn Knee Market. OMAHA. Aug. . 1911. Regardless of the alarming block rust re ported so generally In the northwest and hinder opening cables profit-taking on long wheat 'vas of sufficient volume to ease the market, and values ruled lower for the day. Evidence of further Injury to the Cana dian crop, however, might easily be fol lowed by renewed buying flurrlee should the government figures Issued tomorrow show decidedly lower crop estimates. Some selling by leading holders of long corn on the more favorable weather pre vailing over the corn belt encouraged a mild bearish sentiment among the trade. However, corn reserves are not large, and It Is expected the government report will show considerable deterioration In the crop estimates compared with last year. Pales of long wheat were in evidence to day and the market ruled easier. News continues to be bullish, but trade was In clined to wait for the government report. Cah wheat was lc lower. More favorable weather over the corn belt and freer country offerings, coupled with a slow cash demand, eased values. Cnsh coin was illc lower. Prlirarv wheat receipts were 1.011.000 bu. and shipments were SOS.nnO bu., against re ceipts last y-ar of l,333.0"O bu. ana snip mrntn of 598,000 bu. Primary corn reeelpts were 274,000 bu. and shipments were 4.00O bu., against receipts last yrrr of 850,000 bu. and shipments ot 677.G&1 bu. Clearances were Zsl.ono bu. or corn, fin nu. of oats and wheat and flour equal to 243.000 bu. Liverpool closed Id higher on wheat and d lower on com.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8 It was a tricky speculative market today In wheat. The trade was filled with selling orders to catch an expected higher opening. A quick break resulted, and notwithstanding Canadian fears of frost as well as rust the close was 3c under last night. Latest trading left corn ti to c up, oata ir regular 4c lower to c higher and pro visions varying from 7V4'10c decline to 7 He advance. Over-sharp dealers figured that with the weather cool and wet In the Canadian nocthwest the price of wheat would show a bullish performance without doubt. There was an advance, but practically It amounted to nothing; as the selling orders were already placed the pit saw a break Instead of a bulge. September fluctuated between 92V: and 93Sc, closing easy c down at 92V:. Corn traders feared bullish crop figures from Washington. September ranged from 64&64Vt to 65c, and cloned firm Wizc net higher at 64Tfe5c. Cash grades were steady. No. 2 yellow finished at 64V564c. With the new crop of oats moving freely, bulls hesitated about trying to force an advance for that cereaL High and low points for the September option proved to be 424c and 414c with the close e off at 417c, Longs taking profits eased the market for hog products. Pork closed 5c lower to 7Hc up. lard down 2V4 to 7H10c and ribs at a shade to &$f7Hc decline. The leading futures range! as follows: Artlcles. Open. High. Low. Close. Yes y Wheat- I I I I Sept...

Still the total for the two days foots up 17,456 head, being a gain of over 4,000 head as compared with the corresponding days last week and over 3,000 head larger than for the same two days a year ago. The quality of the offerings today was not very good, there being a large showing of trashy and Inferior rangers. Beef steers were In good demand this morning and packers were out In the yards in good season with the apparent intention of securing as many desirable killers as possible. The result was that the trade was active on good kinds of cattle and anything answering that description changed hands In very good season at Prices that were fully steady with yester day, some would aay a little stronger than yesterday. Some very nice yearling corn feds sold up as high as $7.00, but there were no choice range cattle nereyto compare with the $6.10 beeves sold yesterday. While the market on cows and heifers was possibly no higher than yesterday the feeling was a little better and the offerings moved off very rapidly. Still prices were safely firm as compared with yesterday and some would say a little atronger. The supply of feeders was very amall while speculators cleaned up about every thing they had yesterday and were In the market for a fresh supply this morning. In consequence of this the trade on all desirable kinds of feeding cattle was active and prices strong.

About seventy loads were received, more than half of the total offerings being sheep. Feeder sorts were light, as usual, and something like two-thirds of the estimate had plenty of flesh for killing purposes. Practically ev erything came from various ranges in the west and northwest. Demand for fat stock had a very good tone from the opening and early business was transacted on a generally steady basis. Handy classes met with the best Inquiry, of course, but even though heavy muttons have been the rule rather than the exception lately prlcea have evident Iv settled to hard bottom and trade Is being fairly well sustained. The better kinds of fat wethers are selling around $3.25i;r 6.40, while ewes are holding at very small discounts. Toppy grass yearlings are quot able at or near $4-60. The lamb market ruled firm and packing orders were filled with a fair degree of freedom. The range In prices continued rather wide, but Inferior light grades were hard to find, so thnt the range exists in quotations rather than actual sales. Extra quality sold straight at $6.60. indicating a $6.75 price for something prime. It was an easy matter to place the en tire offering of feeders, and as the result of healthy ample country demand some strength In values was natural. Advances were uneven, however, usually ranging from a dime to 20(S25c. Feeder yenning proved active sellers throughout the ses sion, but feeder lambs were scarce.

Politics Not Within Woman's Sphere-Mrs. Wilson Can Prove It Mayor of Hunnewell, Kan., Will Fight to Finish, but Wishes She Were Out of It HUNNEWELL, Kan., Aug, is not a woman's game." This Is the decision of Mrs. Ella Wilson, mayor of this town, who since her in auguration has had a standing fight with the male city council. It wouldn't confirm her appointees for city marshal or city clerk and she wouldn't sign any of the bills it passed. This has been the status of affairs since her election last April. Mrs. Wilson tonight for the first time admitted she would quit if she could, say ing politics la not the place for a woman, but at the same time she turned on the members of the city council and forced them to listen to her. She will not quit unless forced to do so, she says. During the last week, Mrs. Wilson con ferred with Governor Btubbs and he told her, she says, that If tonight's meeting of the city council was not satisfactory he would aid her In having the member of the council ousted. After the meeting she telegraphed the governor to start the ouster suits. On the other hand the element which is fighting Mrs. Wilson la talking of bringing ouster proceedings to force her out of office. In speaking of her own position and her willingness to quit the mayoralty under different conditions Mrs. Wilson said: "I'd be satisfied if ousted from office, but I can't quit the .battle under the prevent conditions. I am tired of the. fighting. Politics is not a woman's place, but Mrs. -Mrs. will g aa :s." Wilson choked as she ended the men will find that a woman will fight as Ion anybody when she once gets in politics.

That the railroads -of the west are threatened with a general strike waa indicated here today by state ments ot Julius Kruttschnttt, vice presi dent of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific roads. According to his statements, the unions have presented demands that would mean an additional burden ot 350, 000,000 a year to the western railroads. Employes of the railroad shops, includ ing blacksmiths, car workers, Iron mould ers, machinists and pattern makers are said to have presented demands calling for a strict enforcement of the eight-hour day, employment of union foremen exclu sively, various changes In working condi tions and more pay. "The railroads are paying top-notch wages now," said Mr. Kruttschnttt, ."and the demands that have been made are un reasonable. I am merely guessing when I say the plans ti o unions have mapped out nr.., ,1,4 muar nn additional hlirden nf tUI 000.000 a vear to the roads, but It Is carta the additional expenses would be large."
