OMAHA. Aug. 26, 1912.
It !s not likely that the wneat bears
will receive any Immediate, help In de
pressing the prices from the large run of
fcpnng wheat. Tliat run Is due and ex
pected, but recent advices Indicate that
the big- milling interests In the northwest
will largely absorb the early movement
from the new crop. The very bad weather
over Europe has lowered the quality of
grain and this may easily increase the
foreign demand tor choice wheat on this
bide of the ocean. Chicago, by the last
ollicial statement, had 4,OuO,ouO bushels
less wheat tnan by the July report, and
about 1 l.VuO.Ouu bushels less than a year
ago. Tne influences named are mostly
on the side of patient buyers who take
hold on the breaks. Reports from the
northwest say there has been llttlo or no
rain there since Thursday last, although
it has been very cloudy and a heavy
downnour is expected at any time. Cash
wheat, unchanged to c lower.
It will be recalled that the snipping
sales of corn were liberal last week, re
gardless of the fancy casn prices paid.
Tneie Is no chance ot getting away nom
the acute position iu cash and September
corn unless the country digs up reserves
and sells very freely. While tue present
ditierence exists between September and
the new crop months, snorts will be in
clined to reuuee tnelr lines and aggres
sive selling ot tne new crop months will
not be popular. Independent of tills trad
ers are mcaned to take tne buying or
selling side according to the weather map
and crop piospects. The weather In the
corn belt since Saturday has been gen
erally lavoiabie, with temperatures being
particularly conducive lor a large crop.
The receipts should lnciease gieally tills
week. Cash corn unchanged to isc lower.
V.sible suppiy: Wheat increased 4iH,im
bu.; corn decreased 6ji',0j bu.; oats in
created 1,(Ki0,(M) bu.

with the Chicago shipping and firmness

CHICAGO GRAIN AXD PROVISIONS
Features of the Trad Ins; and Closing
Prices on Board ot Trade,
CHICAGO. Aug. -Promise ot larger
shipments from the hanest fleMs in the
Uakutaa and Minnesota caused the what
market today to have an easy tone. The
close was c to fctfco lower than forty
. eight hours before.
Although sentiment In wheat had a dis
tinctly bearish cast, selling pressure
seemed to be held In check. The chief
reason was fear of frost tonight in the
Canadian northwest. On the other hand,
the weather this side of the International
boundary was clear and fine, Improving
the conditions for a heavy movement for
a terminal market. Bulls were compelled
also to face southwestern receipts more
than double those of a year ago. Sep
tember ranged from Wc to t3c, closing
steady but M,WAo net lower at 88C
Covering- by shorts late In the day
rallied the corn market. September closed
steady at Tc, a net gain of Hs. Cash
grades were weak, . Nx S yellow was
quoted at 80o.
Consignments of oats from the country
today were the largest of the season.
Vpptr and lower limits touched by Sep
tember were 32c and 82c, with the last
sales 14tc down at S24c.
Provisions ruled higher on account of
an advance in the price of hogs, due to
scarcity. Lard and ribs wound up 2V4o
to 6c above Saturday night.

varying degrees of strength. Politics was
assigned as the primary cause for the
Heaviness ot tne railroad group, which
was most pronounced in the Pacifies

Canadian Pailflc, which lost ground
steadily last week, opened with some
show of strength today, but soon yielded
all Its rise and more. Union Pacific and

against St. Paul and the Hill stocks.
Atchison made no response to Its state

SiIfc.fc.P-A large supply of sheep and
lambs was received for ttie opening of the
week, there being about 147 cars, or around
38,000 head reported In. This is the larg
est run since Tuesday, October 2, 1911.
It is about 4,000 less than the arrivals
here on the corresponding time a year
ago. Bulk of offerings were from Mon
tana, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, with a
small sprinkling from Nebraska. As
usual when receipts are so large con
siderable time was taken up before every
thing was sorted, so very little trading
took place during the early hours of the
morning. Buyers did not seem very
anxious to make a start, though there
was a fairly good supply of desirable
killers at their disposal. Eastern advices
did not offer any encouragement for
higher prices, consequently' local trade
was slow.
As the morning advanced the market
did not seem to gain any strength and
the later reports from the eastern trade
made business worse rather than betier.

ported in. 'ins run was in reaiuy the
largest that it has been on a Monday tor
a good many weens Dack and a lew hun
dred head larger than lor tne correspond

sisted very largely of teeaing steers,
there being a sinaner proportion ot kill

In spite ot the fact that beef steers of
suitable quality for the packers were in
light supply tue market was very slow
and dull irom start to ilnlaii. The qual
ity of the offerings as a rule was poor
and that possibly had something to uo
with making the market less active than
It mlgnt otherwise have been. As it was
tne beat grades may possibly have been
about steady, but outside of that . tne
market was slow and luc or more lower.
' The supply of cows and hellers was
small as compared with laat week, but
the weakness prevailing In beet steers
made the market slow and dull, wltn the
tendency a Uttie lower on most grades.
The yards were lull of feeoers this
morning and fortunately there was a good
buying demand for the best grades and
they were generally steady with last
week's close. Oh the otner hand there
were a good many common to medium

HOUA A very light run of hogs rfhowed
up as only thirty-two loads or 2.200 head
were reported in, the smallest sines
April 2, when only 1,960 head were re
ceived. Quality in general was rather
poor; tn fact some buyers remarked that
such a common bunch ot hogs has. not
been here for a long time. However,
owing to the smallness of the supply
and a bullish feeling prevailing at almost
all the other markets, local business be
gan at an early hour and at prices mostly
loc higher and in spots more than that
when compared with Saturday's market
There was a fair shipping demand, but
on account of a scarcity of hogs suitable
lor that purpose shippers bought moder
ately... A car of choice heavy hogs sold to
a shipper at $8.36 and a light mixed load
at $8.46. top of the day. and identical with
Saturday's best price. Bulk of the mixed
and packing kinds were fully 5'10c
higher, most sales being at the dime ad
vance. The market sai. short and brisk
SJid a complete clearance was made early.
The feeling was that If any choice light
to medium hogs had been here they would
have sold In all probability 10l5c above

Alamito Dairy Employes Gather
With 400 Gaests at Hillside Park,
Ralston, and Spend Holiday
oa Second Annpal Picnic.
At least 100 men, women and children
narrowly escaped serious Injury at Hill
side park, Ralston, yesterday afternoon,
w hen tables upon which they had climbed
to pose for photographs gave way. Sev
eral hundred had gathered at the park,
the occasion, being the second annual pic
nic of the employes of tho Alamito Sani
tary Dairy company.
Herman Schonfeld, photographer for
The Bee, and S. C. Jennings, of the Jen-nlngs-Hydo
photographer galleries, were
lining up the crowd hurriedly at a few
minutes before 6 o'clock, in order to
secure a picture before the light grew too
dim.
In the haste to get Into position, moth
ers, carrying " wee ' babes, fathers and
fmall sons, , scrambled : onto the tables.
As a large woman stepped from a chair
to a table there was a crunch, a scream
and a confused rush toward the scene
of the accident, where the three tables
had broken. ,
Several small boys had climbed to the
top of a big auto truck which stood
to the west of the tables. As the tables
broke and threw their freight to ths
ground, these boys, looking down on the
catastrophe, laughed in great glee and
this laugh probably prevented a panic,
for the surge toward the tables ceased,
the picnickers believing no one had been
Injured.
And none was injured, although the
terror of the women and the frantic
screams of the little children at first lent
a semblance of truth to the quick re
port that the smaller children had been
crushed.
TlyS incident did not, however, mar the
pleasures of the day, enjoyed by 125 em
ployes of the Alamito and at least 400
guests, who were treated to a bounteous
and delightful lunch late in the after
noon and cases of mflk, great quantities
of lemonade and dainties were distri
buted to the hungry , crowd until the
dancing and the music in the evening
concentrated the attention.
A base ball game in the afternoon
followed by races, the winners of which
were awarded prizes, constituted the
program. In the base ball game the
nine from the "office" wiped out the
team gathered from the drivers of dairy
wagons by a score of 11 to 6.
C. F. Schwager, chairman of the re
ception committee, was the star of the
office team." He fanned repeatedly and
was threatened with all sorts of warm
punishments for his Inability to connect
with the ball, but when he took his
position at the first bag the "ragging"
ceased right off.
F. L. Kernan, superintendent of the
games and of the sports of the day.
put In a strenuous afternoon as pitcher
for the office nine. He was opposed
by E. E. Gross, who might have put
it over the "officers" with a little better
fielding on his team's part.
A "young married men's race," a race
between men who were married and rot
over 30 years of age, drew a great list
of entrants and was won in a close match
by Ed Leffingwell, with Herman Rend
qulst second. The race between married
men over 30 years of age was entered by
fewer contestants. It was won by J. G.
Dauterman, Boyd Boyer finishing second.
