Aside from the fact that pncklriK demand was featured by more f ipeilum, tlia market an a whole had few plinxi-it that were not shown yes terday. Itccelpt gave h lotal of fnlrly iltrxe size and the character of the run was much the same a that of yexterday's ri'pply, fed and wsrmed-up cIiihhch consti tuting bulk. Hrvno stuhble-fed and rtrnight grans stock arrived from ths tvtst, but range offerings are becoming smaller each day, resulting In a feeder display that lurks variety. Kst sheep and lambs with dressing promise were favored In killing circles, the same as recently, and sold more read ily than the doubtful, warmed-up strings, Toppy fed native lambs reached 35.30 early and a near prime article landed at li.ift. Ths market for inferior quality lambs ruled largely under the tWOti mark and proved more or less erratic Mat tired muttons moved off In good season, but Inquiry for big stuff was by no means urgent, as ths product gener ally Is neglected when brought Into com petition with Thanksgiving poultry and lambs. Killers assert that present pur chases are being put away for ruture dis posal and the fact that fat sheep are ob viously worth the money becomes th only visible Inducement In buying quar ters. Kat range wether sold early at 13.40 and ft string of heavy wethers and year lings realised 33.UO. Kwe sales wer In fieqiient, hut anything good In this line would probably get action around 13.00. Feeder trade was given very fair sup port from country buyers and prices re mained lust about steady. Hume warmed up stuff was taken out tor a second finish at figure that did not interest packers, but the feeder trmlo in straight runners afforded the best opportunity for selection.

An unexpected de crease In the Kuropean visible wheat supply resulted today In giving tne price here an upward tilt. The tailing off, which amounted to 1,440,000 bushels, compared with last week Is due lo the fact that the total Is now more than 32,uU0,Ouu bushels Ism than at the coire spindlng time a year ago. Report of showers In the northern portion of the Argentine also nerved to encourage the bulls. Little new demand developed, however, and the market later suffered a reaction. The opening was HiWWo higher. May started at ll.Ul'ul.ol', a gam of Vd3Wa and afterward fed buck to 11.00c.

SHOPPING SEASON IS NOW ON Open Season for Christina Buyeri Outlined by Merchants. EAKLY TOURS ADVANTAGEOUS By Vising; hop Before Christmas Hash Bayer llar More Time nd Are Given Experience of Expert Salespeople, Omaha shoppers did so much better by themselves and by the salespeople In the stores by early shopping last Christ mas season that they will be asked to repeat this season. It took three or four years of constant repetition of the slogan, "Do your Christmas shopping early," before people took heed, but last season thoy took heed to such an extent that conditions were noticeably Im proved and the merchant hope they will do even better thl year. At a meeting of retail merchant yes terday afternoon at the Commercial club, nt the call of Chairman C. D. Beaton of the retail trade committee of the club, Robert Manley of the Brandei Stores and C. E. Dlack were appointed a com mittee to outline a campaign of advei t Ins calculated to induce Omahans to do their shopping early and lessen the mad rush of the last few days before Christmas. x Benefit to Shoppers. About the best argument brought out at the meeting, from the standpoint of benefit to the shoppers themselves, was this: "If you shop during the last week of the season you will perhaps be waited upon by extra clerks who are not famil iar with the stocks. If you shop now, you will be waited upon by the regular clerks, who are thoroughly familiar with the stock and who will give you tho best service possible." Other arguments which will bo used are: "If you shop early you will get your pick of the holiday good; If you put It off the best may be gone "You can shop now with much more comfort than you can Juet before Christ mas. "For the sake of the salespoeple In the stores, whose energies will b taxed to the utmost just before Christmas, do your Christmas shopping now." There are now but twenty-seven mora shopping days before Christmas. 1 Price of Crackers Uniformly Higher Why are prices of crackers advanced to the same figure at the same time all over the United States by all the cracker mnking concerns? Thl 1 a question mystifying Omaha grocers. A few years ago young biscuit companies all over the country were cry ing out against the National Biscuit com pany, called the "trust," and were boost ing their business by leaps and bound throurrh competition with the National. - Now that the young companies hav grown big there la no competition, . say the grocer. Soda crackers and oyster crackers In bulk have been advanced V cent and aire now 6K cent ft pound. "All the factories make thl price at the same time," said o, big Omaha re taller. "They didn't wait for th Na tional to name the price and then grace fully follow after a few day. Things have come to uch a pais that there is absolutely no difference In price between the varlou companies, either on plain or fancy "good. When you. get a new price from one company you will know at once that all the other concern put the sama price In effect at the same time. "The queer thing about It la that flour and wheat were both declining In price when the boost wa made In crackers." TH STBEET Wor. ai, lu CITY OFFICIAL NOTICES. iL, !v'". Pres't. Aug. 17th.
