Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, June l.-A selling stampede
ln wheat today resulted from general
rains throughout Kansas and Nebraska,
where drouth and heat had made the
crop situation critical. Prices broke as
much as 2c and closed unsettled lc
under last night. Corn sufXered a Bet
back of 3c and finished with a net loss
of 2c. Oats declined &c to llc and
Drovisions Ec.
Notwithstanding the severe drop In
inue me wneat market was on tne rally
when the end of the session waji renheH
Much of the buying that was causing the
mie reaction came rrom snorts who were
securing profits. Nevertheless an impor
tant share of the purchasing originated
with leading bulls said to believe that
the help from the rains in the west had
not been complete. It was also reported
many speculators had foreseen the proba
bility of a downpour and were prepared
to take holdings released on stop loss
orders of dealers less alert
Bearish sentiment manifested itself em
phatically at the start ln the wheat pit
mu nepi growing until & uttie while be
fore the close. During the time the bulls
were on the run the amount of property
sold out reached a big total, but the
nurry was tar irom equaling the semi-
panic oi a lew weeKs ago, when the mar
ket had been extraordinarily overbought.
July flucuated from $1.07 to 11.09, with
last sales lo off at $1.08i.
Short sellers of corn had an inning in
earnest today. Such traders took ad
vantage of the wheat weakness and
pounaea aown prices. July ranged from
72c to 7474g.v75c, closing nervous at 72c. a

No. 2 yellow was quoted at 7477c.

NEW YORK. June 1. Irregularity and
hesitation during the first hour, followed
by a degree of firmness toward the close
were the salient features of today's brief
session on the stock exchange.
Responding to London, where most of
our stocks were above the preceding day,
probably on New York buying, the local
market opened with little trace of yes
terday's weakness. The more prominent
Issues, including Reading. Lehigh Valley,
Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, United
States Steel and some other tmportanr
industrials, after wavering occasionally,
closed with marked net galna. This
doubtless resulted in part from good sup
port and a modicum of short covering.
The commercial agencies point to the
slight reduction In bank clearings com
pared with a year ago as proof that
general trade is again Inclined to halt.
Retail trade especially has suffered from
the unseasonable weather In most parts
of the country and uncertainty as to
crops almost everywhere, except In the
northwest.
Wall street lias thus far given scant
attention to the Money trust Investiga
tion, oui mis matter may receive more
Interest from the financial community
next week, when the head of one of the !
largest national banks or this city Is to
appear as a witness.
The only notable feature of the bank
statement was the very small actual cash
galn-a little more than $SOO,000 whereas
estimates have made the gain from $5,000,
000 to K.000.000.
Actual loans showed an infinitesimal
contraction as against an average loan
decrease of almost $4,000,000.
The bond market was irregular, with
improvement In some of yesterday's weak
issues. Total sales, par value, $902,000.
United States government bonds were
unchanged on call.
Number of sales and leading quotations
today were as follows:

Since the needs of man outgrew the
-blllty of the Individual to produce, and
commerce began to be moved from place
to place, the fords of the rivers, and the
intersections of tho roads have been the
points at which that commerce has
halted.
At these natural stopping places, the
Interchange of the products of men hat
necessitated the building of towns and
cities. Omaha owes Its Importance as a
trading and distributing center to this
world-old habit of mankind.
When the Union Taciflc bridge at
Omaha was completed and that transcon
tinental highway was physically united
with the four Iowa trunk lines, the foun
dation of Omaha's greatness as a dis
tributing center was laid. Since that time
tho railroad mileage In the state of Ne
braska ha grown to a total of 8,000
miles. All of this mllesgs is operated
with Omaha as its focal point. Tho
mileage of the state of lowa has grown
to more thHn 12,000 miles. Over 11,000
miles of the Iowa railroads converg at
Omaha.
Practically all of the freight, passenger,
mail and express service of these 20,'ai
miles of railway Is organized with refer
ence to the interchange movement that
passes through Omaha. The development
of Omaha as a distributing center has
been coincident with the growth of that
commerce.
It ncrensarlly follows that, as popula
tion in this region increases and as the
facilities for the transportation of the
products of the soil and the factory ex
pand, the flow of commerce through
Omaha must continue to grow and bring
to this city greater opportunities, greater
population and greater wealth.
Ten railroads center ln Omaha, the
Union Pacific, Missouri Paclfio and Min
neapolis A Omaha on this side of the
river, and the Burlington, Wabash. Illi
nois Central, Chicago & Northwestern.
Chicago Great Western, Rock Island and
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul on the
Iowa side.
Nearly 1.000 traveling men-representing
the jobbing Interests of Omaha-go up
and down half the states of the union
with the name "Omaha" on their cards
and the names of Omaha firms on their
order blanks.
We sold nearly $15,000,000 worth of gro
ceries out of Omaha last year. That was
the largest item in the Jobbing list. Agri
cultural implements came next more
than $10,008,000 worth of them shipped
from the huge branch houses in this
city to the local dealers of the rich agri
cultural districts of which Omaha Is the
center.
Grain was next-$10,000,000 worth of
wheat and corn and other products ef
western fields, shipped In and out ef
Omaha ln sufficient quantities to give
this city a place as one of the great grain
markets of the United States.
And then came coal and coke more
than $9,000,000 worth; poultry and egg.
$.'.000,000 more; dry goods, $9,000,000 more;
automobiles, more than $7,000,000; fruits
and vegetables, $7,C)0,000 more; cement
and stone, heavy hardware, light and
shelf hardware, liquors and wines, oils,
paint and glass, lubricating and illuminat
ing oils and plumbing and heating sup-
l piles each classification representing
more than $3,000,000 for the year. The
5;,0O0,O00 mark was passed last year by
Omaha Jobbers In paper, boots and shoes,
cigars and tobacco, drugs and sundries
and rubber goods. Total between $1,000,000
and $2,000,000 were represented by dealers
ln auto supplies and accessories, confec
tionery, crackers and dairy products.
Scores of other Industries complete the
list, In amounts running from mere thou
sands up to the million mark.
The grand total for 1911 was $145,723,8)08
every cent of that amount passing
through the hands of Omaha merchants
and much of It remaining here to pay
the salaries of Omaha people and for im
provements on Omaha property. i
The diversity of Omaha's jobbing In
dustry has given to this city the well
earned title of "The Market Town." It Is
a market town. Indeed, for practically
every need of the buyer may be met
here, while the facilities for distribution
are so good that Omaha Is generally re
garded as ono of the best shipping points,
and. therefore, one of the most desirable
Jobbing points, in the entire country. )

CATTLE The yards were practically
bare this morning, there being nutning
ut any consequence In slgnt. Receipts
for the week have bi en moderate, showing
a blight stain over mat week but stiu
smaller than for the corresponding week
a ifar ago
1 hu market on the best cornfed beeves
such as have been selling at tS.Wfjjiy.UO
has remained practically steady owing
us a matter of course, to the fact that
cattie 01 mat description are in extremely
light supply at all market points. On the
otner hand the pretty good Kinds of cattle
have all had a lower tendency at, all
market points, Chicago especially nreak
lng badly, At the close of the week
prices here on that kind are safely lOtgiiic
lower.
Ihe market oh cows nd helfere has
followed very closely the beef steer trade,
Thus while the best dry lot cows and
heifers have been good sellers all the
week at steady prices, the medium to
common kinds have steadily worked
ouwnward, being sately iuc. lower for the
week and as mucn as boc lower than
tho high time two weeks ago. Veal
calves have been strong all the week,
U10 best selling aa higu as $8.50. Hulls
have eased off a little in sympathy with
the lower prices paid for the medium
grades of cow stuff.
The dry weather had a very depressing
effect upon the stocker and feeder trade
all the week. Receipts lortunattily were
light, but even wltn light receipts the
demand was bo poor tnat tlto markat
was weak and dull every day, and at
the close prices are around 25c lower
than one week ago.

HOGS Hog trade held only a moderate
supply and with the opening demund rea-
bonuuly active, borne little strength tle
velopcd ln the list of prices. Considerable
business was transacted during tho first
hour or two at figures about a nickel
higher, but packing orders were not
large enough to sustain the advance and
clo'ng sales averaged little better than
steady. Movement during the latter part
of the session was decidedly dull and It
required almost all of tho morning to
make a complete clearance.
Out of the 8,000 head that arrived the
number of really good heavy hogs ap
peared to be relatively smttll, bulk con
sisting of ordinary mixed and butcher
grades. Shippers furnished a very fair
demand for good butcher offerings, buy
ing about 1,000 head In all.
Best heavy hogs on sale brought $7.40,
as compared with yesterday's limit of
$7.37, and bulk was .more or less scat
tered within the $7.203 7 35 spread. Bacon
weights had to have plenty of quality In
order to bring $7.20.
The main feature of the week's trade
appears In supply figures, about 75,000
head showing up at thin point. This run
Is not only 12,000 head in excess of the
receipts for the same week last year,' hut
It is alno unusually heavy an compared
with the week's supplies at other leading
markets. The demand on most days has
been bearish, but declines have been
moderate, current values showing lessen
of only 15(fl20c for the week.

Ifornlans were standard coast lambs that
have boen showing up here In June dur
ing previous years. They brought $9.00
9.50 as compared with $6.40(8.7O paid for
me sonic ciitsa or atock last year.
While killers have been buying very
sparingly lately, prices have been well
sustained In all branches of the market,
current values ruling Just about steady,
with a week ago. The fact that the
week Included a holiday operated against
sellers to some extent, as floor gangs
were all dismissed and nothing was Killed.
Very few sheep have been coming lately
and the trade In ewes and wethers natur
ally had a package appearance. Shorn
ewes that were nothing to brag about
made up most of the meager supply of
muttons. Feeders were also very scarce
and country outlet has practically closed
Only three loads of stock were taken out
for a short feeding term during the week

SHEEP Not enough sheep or lambs ar
rived today to make a market, and as is
usually the case at tho week-end, prices
remnlned nominally steady. Offerings cun
tlsted of about three decks of shorn !nmbs
that sold at $8.0088.25.
During the week no Important changes
hsve developed In the trade, the supply
proving smnll with the demand evon
smaller. Rarrlng a tralnload of California
spring lambs that arrived on Monday of
ferings ran largely to fed shorn lambs
that sold from $8.50 downward. The Cal-
H. J. Penfold, who for nearly a quar
ter of a century had been secretary of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ken, was given a fare
well banquet lust night at the Omaha
club by the members of the present and
former boards of governors of the organi
sation. Expressions of regret at his leaving
and pialse for his work during his con
nection with the knights occupied the
evening. He was given credit for keep
ing the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben together
during the years of his service.
There wore twenty-five guests present.
C. H. Pickens, president of the Knights
of Ak-Sar-Ben, presided as toastmaster

Sobbers Plan to Cut
Off Clerk's Finger
Harry Schoenwald, night clerk and part
owner of the New Grand hotel at $20
South Thirteenth street, was held up at
1 o'clock this morning by two masked men
in the hotel and robbed of $80 and two
diamond rings worth about $35 eaoh. The
robbers were about to cut off the little
finger of the victim's left hand to get
another diamond ring which was tight
when they were frightened away by the
approach of a man and woman who
wautsd rooms for the night '
At the class day exercises at the Mon
mouth Park school yesterday afternoon,
there were many things suggestive ot
war. In fact war was declsied. It came
about when eight of the boys Imperson
ated eight members of the second conti
nental congress. Among the .members
there was Adams, Patrick Henry and the
Other patriots. They told of the burdens
that England had placed upon the colo
nies and then they threw off the English
y6ke and In unmistakable torms, declared
war and tor independence.
The glru as well as the boys were on
the warpath, and eight of them partici
pated in a "tea" party. The scene wat
laid prior to the revolution and at a
time when King George uf England had
laid a tax upon all of the tea torning to
the colonies. The eight girls, garbed as
colonial dames, resolved to cut out tea
drinking and went so far as to declare
that they would do what 'hev ciuld to
assist ln the fight If the men conol'Hiid
that they wanted to assert thel; Indu
pendence and go to war.
In the Interim between sketches, Robett
B. Wallace appeared and Impressed upon
the children and their parents the neces
sity and idea of "Knowing Omaha." He
pointed to the fact that every night '.ha
majority of the Nebraskans He down
upon beds made ln Kalamazoo, or else
where; that they pull over them blankets
made In Rhode Island; arise in the morn
ing and light a fire in a stove made In
Pittsburgh; cook their cakes of flour
ground some place In the east, and ' sit
upon Wisconsin made chairs at tables
manufactured in New York; sat off
dishes made in England, and partake of
bacon cured In Chicago, the only real
Nebraska product being eggs. Before)
doing this, however, generally, they have
clothed themselves In .woolen garments
that come from Connecticut.
After telling the children and the older
ones this, Mr. Wallace pointed to tha
fact that the raw products entering Into
the dally existence of the people of
Omaha and Nebraska are grown t or
raised here, shipped east, where they go
through the finishing process, and come
back, the home people paying the 100 and
200 per cent of profit that goes to tha
manufacturers and the middle men. He
insisted that it would be possible for
Nebraska people to save these profits
If they would lcorn to know the state
and city better and encourage the estab
lishing of manufacturing industries bere.
On the regular class day program there
were piano solos, weaving and May pole
dances, exercises by the klndergartners
and the usual school attractions, which
were of an excellent character.
After tho exercises in the large audi-
torlum on the ground floor, many of tha
visitors repaired to the manual training
department, where they Inspected the
wood carvings and cloy modeling done
by the pupils, ln this school particular
attention Is paid to this line of work,
much of which is very practical, as well
as artistic. 1 -
