'wing to the lack ot mow covering lit
the winter wheat belt the sharp drop In
the temperature to a point below zero
k w JH doubtless cause the. opperings of
jT wheat Ui.tlghten up and at the same time
4V vs buying power would assert Itself In a
,sr iost pronounced way. The market has
teen slumbering for some llttte time and
f reawakening: Is about due. No change
in general conditions surrounding the sit
uation can now bo seen, but thes dull
periods aro generally followed by stirring
times Pomo of tho conservative men In
the trado were advising caution on the
short side of whejit In a litir uiv. feellntr
- fc?.,thl'y f(1 that the lower temperatures
iii uouoiicss cream a Duying lurore
under present conditions. Outside of a
possible crop scare theru is little In tho
wheat market for bears or shorts to
fear. There Is abundant moisirue. for the
crowing plant, but great vitality would
be necessary for the young wheat plant
to withstand killing weather The bears
at home, as well as those In Importing
countries, are pointing to the big wheat
crop of Argentina nnd to Its excellent
quality as well a to tho fact that the
growers there are pressing their grain for
sale, owing to the inadequate storing1
facilities. Tho question of a weight stand
ard ht been settled with Europe and
there Is no question but the shipments
from South America will bo much larger
from this time forward. A help that Is
greatly needed to strengthen the wheat
market ts on Improved demand for the
eesh article, as general dullness was re
ported In all sections of the world yester
day. Only 80,000 bushels was sold in Chi
cago and that le the leading market of
tho universe.

The market closed firm HQHc to ic
above last night Corn finished 'ac
to 'o up, oats at iipic to UW?c ad
vance, and provisions strung out from
22'io decline, to a rise of 12K-C-
Besides tho cold wave, the reported
withdrawal of the Turkish envoys from
London had a disturbing effect on wouldbe
sellers of wheat. Estimates of larger
world shipments served only as a
temporary check to the bulls. Prices at
no time reacted to last night's level. In
stead the top prices of the day were in
full force when the bell cleared the pit.
Coarse grain advanced for the same
reason as wheat. -Tho cold wave was
expected to Increase feeding especially
of corn. Demand for oats, however,
proved relatively small.
In provisions, there was a sharp break
due to heavy selling by stock yard houses.
Tho only rally of consequence appeared In
January pork, for which shorts were com
pelled to pay a brisk advance.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31. There was no
trace today of tho bullish enthusiasm of
yesterday In stock markrt speculation
and, although u fair degree of strength
developed In tho fore part of the session,
the movement a a whole was hutting and
irregular. There wan a marked fullltiK
off In tho amount of business.
The failure of the bears In the first
hour Was followed by Increased, activity
on tho long side, with the result Hint
Rending. Pulon Pacific and Steel were
mark6d up 11 point or moiv. But in the
nrteinoon prices sagged back ngnln and
changes on the day among tho Important
stocks were small.
American Can stocks, which have been
tho conspicuous feature of the week, were
actlvo during tho early part of the day
and common rose to W',. Tho unnfflcl.il
statement of a plan for paying off tho
accumulated dividends of nearly 33 per
cent on tho preferred stock through the
issue of $15,000,000 fifteen-year debenture
bonds was followed by a sharp break,
which bore down the common to 43 and
tho preferred from 129 to 12414. The break
was attributed to realizing, although
there was some bear soiling on the ground
that tho plan meant the conclusion of the
upward manipulation of theso stocks and
that debentures would entail a consider
able Inercasp in the fixed charges of the
company After the American Can stoolc
,nllci1 ,nelr ,ow volni they became quiet.
Tho gold movement continued, engage
ment for $1,000,000 for France nnd an euuul
amount for South America being an
nounced. Forecasts of tomorrow's bjink
statement dlsngreed. suggesting cash
gains of $4,000,000 to $S,000,ooo.
Bonds were Irregular. Wabash rcfund-
$2,060,000. I'nltecl States bonds were un

CATTliH Cattlo receipts were light,
even for a Friday, only thirty cars being
reported in. This was. not enough to
really make a test of the market or thor
oughly establish quotations. Sellers who
had cattle were generally reporting the
trado as steady with yesterday, with hero
and them something that buyers Just
happened to want at prices that were
possibly a llttlo better.
Reef steers during the latter pnrt of
the week have been doing a little better
and at the close are around 10tf!5c higher
than the mean close last week. It might
be added, however, that tho best heavy
cattlo have not shown much change. In
fact, there are very few matured cattlo
coming to market.
Cows and heifers have also been grad
ually working upward during the last few
days until they are around .IMfCfo higher
than last week's close, it will be re
membered, however, that the market a
weok ago today was In very unsatis
factory condition.
Stock cattle and feeders have not shown
any Improvement. In fact, the general
market on fleshy feeders Is around lWiC&c
lower than last week. Cholco light cattle
on account of their scarcity have not
shown much change

Opening trade Indicated a weak
and lower tendency to vnlues, the early
business neing auposi entirely on specu
lative account, and at prices weak lo u
nickel lower than the general market yes
terday. Aside from this nothing else was
doing during the first hours of the morn
ing, as the packer buyers refused to take
up tho trade where tho speculators left
oft nnd tried to create a greater depres
sion In the market Tholr' very first bld.i
were mostly a dime lower, and It w
some llttlo time before they showed any
willingness to fill orders. In the end,
however, the bulk of the hogs began lo
move at prices around $7.'log7.S5, and
practically everything was disposed of on
that basis In fair season, During the
opening trade somo prime offerings
reached $7.40, top for (he day, and Jut a
nickel below the top price yesterday.
While tho early movement was somewhat
slow the movement was fairly active oncu
sellers became reconciled to a reduction
of 5Q10c for the majority of their holdings.
Arnuna 11, urn neon were reported in, inn
receipts being about 1.134 head short of
last Friday, but In the neighborhood ot
2,224 head more than two weeks ago. Ttiu
supply was very similar to that on the
same day one year ago.
A feature of today's trade was tho sale
or choice light and medium weight hogs,
that Is, light and butcher hogs at the
extreme top of the market. At the same
time heavy hogs which have heretofore
been brfinglng top prlcos were discrim
inated against more or less, especially
the rough heavy or packing hogs, liven
smooth hogs were neglected to somo ex
tent und showed mote decline than the!
lighter and butcher weights, the best nf
thein falling considerably short of top
prlres

HHUHP As might be expected there
was about tho usual Friday's run of
lambs and sheep on the market, ns the
receipts Amounted to nine curs or 2,000
head. Owing to the fact that a very
weak condition still prevails In tho east
tern trade In dressed mutton, buyers con
tinue to buy only on n hand to mouth
basis and aro very careful to havo no
more sheep Knd lambs on their hands
than what they really need. Though re
ceipts have boon comparatively light all
the week, the packers apparently had
very limited ornrrs, trade being some
what slow with little or no Improvement
in pi Ices. Tho buyers seemed to wont u
llttlo stuff, however, but hesitated to
pay prices Htiy better than on yesterday.
DtitiuK tho early Undo n coiiplo of loads
of fed western yearlings sold nt $is.tifi.
Tho week's trade hud been character
ised by light receipts whlcu might bo
attributed to tho big slump In values dur
ing the latter part of last week. The sup
ply during the first live days of tho week
fell considerably shott of tho same lime
last week and two weeks ngo, it ml was
even smaller than the supply during the
corresponding days last ymir. Notwith
standing a light supply during the first
days or the week, the trade on Monday
and Tuosday experienced another big re
duction In prices. This was due lo tho
continued weak condition In tho eastern
trade In dressed mutton. While the live
mutton trade has shown a llttlo Improve,
mcnt from the first of tho week, the
general situation both on tho local mar
ket and nt other points does not seem
encouraging. .
Iambs nt now anywhere from 2Sfj3"C
lower than a week ago, with yearlings
showing a decline ot 50c. For the weuk
ewes are little If any lower. Few if any
wethers are coming.

AVelisler Tnlks.
Three hundred nlumnt of American col
leges and universities gathered "at the
University club Thursday for the first
fraternal banquet given to graduates not
members of the club. The comniodins he v
rooms falily trembled for three hours,
while the enthusiastic diners yoked tho
glories of tholr alma, maters.
Pralsew of Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Columbia, Cornell, Michigan, Nebraska,
kCrolghton and others were sung by. gooil
s1)gois nnd slqgers with cracked. Voices,
by "yming men who were bo(n for 'tho
night knd older men who were itjting
ngnln; by fat men nnd thin and tall and
short. 1
And through all tho rejoicing" at the
reunion of old pals sounded tho Insistent
nolo of tho men of Nebraska, who de
clared they wanted the "campus moved. '
TJiore was no dissenting voice. "Move
the campus! Movo tho cVnpus!M was
the constant refrain.
Long before the lounging rooms were
crowded to their capacities thi c'omfdrt
ablo club became a scene of conflict
Rivalries which never have ceased nocapd

warriors would have shivered at the
sound of somo of those college yells, and
soiu" ot tho songs would have filled the
soul of a sissy with the spirit of an Aronld

Clinllenites nl Dinner.
It wns nn erratlo dinner that followed,
Interrupted by yells of advice and chal
lenges that could not hide the admiration
of tho challengers for their flrlo old col
lego foes. And bless us, yea! over und
anon wob heard the sound ot sandaled
feet 11s a cabaret dancer helped on tho
merriment. They needed no professional
entertainers, but there was surulus ot
everything and so enmo tho laugh-makers
from tho Hippodrome, tho Ilrandols mid
tho (laycty theaters, who were on their
mottle. And they had uu audience to de
light tho heart of a Mansfield, u ilcrti
hardt. a Jefferson, u Paderowskl or a
Dutch comedian.
When tho gayety wdB at lt height
Oeorgo Nelson Lyons, Jr., ot Harvard
capped tho minor climax In the recitation
of Oliver Wendell Holmes' "We're Hoys
Tonight." Ho meant every word he snld
when, laughing, ho pointed to tho gray
heads nnd called Old Father Tmo a liar
and tho calendar a cheat.
Then Thomas H. Mills, Michigan.
Omaha High school coach, turned the
baiviuct hall Into a placa ot riotous ap
plause with Kipling's "Ounga Din." The
crash of cheers that followed tho fault
less recitation of the mastorpleco forced
Mills back to tho rostrum and at the
close of n second selection left Michigan
the recipient of vociferous approval.
All Kinds of Courts.
Delegations vied with each other In
showing off their birds of song and halt
a dnrtn singers, led by Cornell's repre
sentative, rendered funereal, gladsome,
remlnlsccntlal or rumbling campus win
sougs. Rut even tho gladdest stein sou ,
quivered with ft perceptible air of sad

days.
Closing the evening ot Jollity, John R
Webster, Michigan, whose Idea resultod
In the banquet, epoko brlcfl' expressing
tho appreciation of these men of each

praise for the old men who are young
