GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Market Prospects for Wheat De
cidedly Bullish.
GOOD DEMAND FOR CASH GRAIN
Foreign Barer nt Chicago Are Tak

OMAHA. Dec. t, tU.
The prospects arc for a bullish Bet of
statistics n wheat today. World' ship,
incnta are likely to De smaller than
looked tor, with a good part destined tor
tho continent, a further decrease In tha
amount on passage and there Is a Pob
Blbllity or there being verr little change
In the visible suppl. There are some,
however, who expect a small decrease.
The condition of the growing plant In
Michigan is good. Farmers there are
marketing very little wheat.
There Is still a big open Interest in the
December future at Chicago, and aa the
owners of the December are also In con
trol of tho cash wheat there, their po
sition Is a strong one, while the position
of the bears Is anything but pleasant.
The latter have only a short time In
which to even up their position and there
is a possibility of tholr having to bid up
for the wheat wanted, as It Is impossible
to secure the grain from tho country In
tlmo for delivery on December contracts,
mainly because ot the high views of hold-
There Is likely to continue a good de
mand for cash wheat at Chicago and else
where. Foreigners are taking the Io. 2
hard winter here in good quantities, and
tho stock of that grain Is d6wn to much
smaller proportions. Conditions In wheat
In .Argentina are likely to continue as
one ot tho price makers. Tho news. from
there Is quite conflicting, and some of
the Items reflect the position ot tho
sender of tho message. Tho crop of that
country will doubtless be short ot last
year, but tho best authorities there say
that the wheat fields are bo scattered
nnd many of them aro so far away that
It la Impossible to say as to the acreage
Beeded or tho probablo crop. .,,
Tho big holders of corn In tho Chicago
market are disposed to secure available
profits and get out of the market tor
the tlmo being. , These people realise the
fact that manipulation Is put of the
question, and that It Is better to take
fair profits than to attempt to "Queeio
the shorts and get themserves in trouble.
Borne of the shorts are 'd ".

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, Dec. 8. An unexpected in

today an advance In wheat. The market

night to a shade decline. Corn lost ViO

Until the Visible supply figures wero
tift mtnA uii.t imd an anDcaranco ot

spoiled the Argentina harvest to a fur
ther extent. Not much attention was
given to the possible effect of cold
MM.rh.r n h f rowlnB nop In the UnUOj
Hiaicm Freezlnir temperatures prevailed,
however. In Oklahoma and northern
Texas, where wheat was reported Joint
ing, and In Kansas and Nebraska, where
the ground Is soaked.
Stocks afloat on the lakes were respon
sible In the main for the bulge In the vis
ible supply total. A largo amount of
grain has not been unloaded, congestion
at Buffalo interfering. Predictions that
the Canadian Import duty would bare
moved soon after the assembling ot Par
iinmont January 16. acted as an addi
tional weight on prices late In tho session.
Corn suffered a sharp break, owing to
mM wather and a consequent enlarge
ment of offerings from first hands. Some
of the speculative bulls sold out and there
was no support from shorts. Oat. proved
relatively steady. The reason seemed to
be that lake shipments from Canada had
virtually sioppea. . , .
Although provisions started firmer be
cause of an advance In the hog market,
selling developed sufficiently to bring
about a setback. Longs unloaded an un
usual amount of ribs.

expected higher prices for their beef cat
tie and wera priclnjr them accordingly,
but buyers were very slow about putting
on for tho reason that Chicago had a big
rim and early advices from that point in-
ulcated a lowur tendency tn tlm m-i,.
ror that reason the market on beef steers
at this point was slow with prices gen
erally kbout steady with last week. .
Cows and heifers were scarco and as
thore was a pretty fair demand prices
were anywhere from steady to loo or
more higher, Tho market, however, was
uneven, the bettor prices being paid for
such cattle aa happened to suit buyers'
ideas
Heavy feeders were slow and not overly
strong, but llghtor grades were active
and fully steady,

anxious to lollow suit, ana aunns mo

the few that went tn the shlttners. About
9 o'clock, however, killers besran to take
some Interest In the trade, and while their
opening bids were not a great deal higher,
the first sales made were in nearly every
case 100 up. Movement was draggy
throughout the morning, but prices re
mained pretty much the same, and sum
ming up the general market, values are
largely a dime higher than Saturday's
average Aa was mentioned before trade
was slow, and the forenoon was well ad
vanced before a clearance was made.

anywhere trom 17 rs to b.m. it win ie
noted In the list or sale that good lights

8HEHP The Very poor condition of the
roads aa a result of the recent heavy
rains was thought to have kept quite a
few cornfed offerings from the market
today, as tho suonly wss unusually light
for a Monday, there being only some 20
cars or 4.6W head reported in, wnicn was
less man nait of wnat a normal run
would have been. The receipts Included
another auota of wheatfleld lambs and
ewes, sorrto cornfed offerings, most of
which were only warmed-up grades and
a few scattering small bunches of native
BtUff.
Owing to the lightness ot tha receipts
and there .being little If any good fat
stuff here packers started early to fill
I V .1 . I...... I .. -I .
it.vir uiwib. w'.ntiiy uuiintuutBu. stives
were generally IOUI60 hlghernd in spots
tho advanoo was considerably more than
that, trade being active all the way
through with a good strong undertone.
Among the sates was n small bunch
ot heavy native lambs good enough to
bring 17,63. Iamba that sold for kllllnc
purposes Included those which ordinarily
sell to the feeder buyers sold .all the
way from 37.00417.65, There were abut
three decks of ted western yearling at
K.eo, wethers at 85.60 And the packers
bought the ewes anywhere from $4.16 to
86.00. the former nrlce being Dald for
about 1,000 head ot wheatfleld grades and
tne latter for comred westerns, nemr top
for such sheep for the day.
Most other markets reported steady
? rices this morning and as a result of
he higher trend to values here the local
trado is now on a higher basis than else-
wnero. not barring even Chicago.

"Port made today on the society by the
insuranco aeparimenis 01 Illinois, ne-
braska and Wisconsin. An examination
of the affairs of the Canadian organlza- '
tlon has been In progress for several
months.
The question raised is said, to affect
every person holding a policy of any
kind by an Insurance, company or an or
ganization of a foreign country. Accord
ing to Herman 1 Ekern, insurance com
missioner of Wisconsin, lf.lt Is once rec
ognized that contracts Issued In the state
under a license to the Insurance company
or society can be repudiated In any part
under laws of a foreign country, it fol
lows that such contracts can ba entirely
repudiated, and such repudiation claims
would have to be enforced by the courts
in the United States.
Assessment Made Lien.
''This society, which- has assets of
about 130,000,000, recently readjusted by
levying a special assessment to make up
a total deficiency In reserve ot 825,000,000.
It Is now attempting to make this as
sessment a lien, averaging about ISM, to
bo deducted from the policies of the
members," explained Mr.. Ekern.
A memorandum signed by Rufus M,
Potts, superintendent ot .Insurance of
Illinois, W. B. Howard, auditor of Ne
braska nnd Mr. Ekern, is attached to the
report. It states that the attempted itfy ot
his ilen Is void and advises the members
of the society to take tho option of pay
ing assessments at the old, rata and to
Insist on settlement In full.
The memorandum declares tho plan of
readjustment Is ono that has been unl
foimly condemned by the courts. Vhlla
tho examination was in progress tha so
ciety gave notice of Its withdrawal from
Illinois, where it had 15,000 members, and
from Minnesota and Wlseonetp. where It
hart a total ot JO.OW members.
Ultimately the question must be decided
by the courts, the memorandum states.
