1G THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, lf)14. it f MO PEAR OF ARGENTINE CORN Grain Men Say Shipment is Not a Drop in the Bucket. ONE COUNTY RAISES MORE Tbrr Snr the Shipment Dora Xot Jtutlfr thp Decline' In Price Which Wan Felt on Chicago Mnrket Thursdny. Neither Omaha railroads iior groin men are alarmed on account of the shipments of corn that have begun tu come to tho United States from Argentine on account of the removal of tho duties of the cereal raised abroad. The grain men point to the receipts of 900,000 bushels and the 6,000,000 additional bushels afloat as being so Insignificant In quantity that they are not Worthy of consideration. The entire shipments, they say, do not aggregate as much of the crop of one of the coun ties of Nebraska during a normal year. drain men add that the receipt of the Argentine corn does not Justify the de cline in price in Chicago Thursday and that Is not tho real cause for tho dri. They say that what is forcing the corn down Is the fact that the spread between wheat and corn has been too wide. Corn, I I . I - ... .1 t ! iiivjt buu, jo uuiv Kciiiiift, ugnn vrucrc ll should be, with tho prospect excellent for the crop of grain of all kinds next season. "Won Id Not Affect I'rlrce. Railroad men contend that l( Argent'no sent ita entlro corn crop to the United States it could have but little effect upon prices In this country. They take the position that tho United Hiata Is growing so rapidly that it tho population increases as rapidly during the next ten years us It has in the last, the corn raising area here would not raise enough or the cereal to supply the home consumption. They look to see somo of the cereal and food product milts along tho Atlantic coast use the Argenllno corn, but do not think, much, If any of It will get Into the In lerlor. Discussing the outlook, the railroad men aro of the opinion that tho market for Nebraska corn- will always continue strong, and that as tho country Increases In population (he nearby market will keep getting better and at the same time th market to the south will be widens!, furnishing an outlet for alt corn raised In Nebraska and nearby states.

Office on Roller Skates A school of roller skating was estab llthed Tuesday in the telegraph operators' room of the Western Un:on, on the six tecnth floor of the Woodman of the World building, and is being conducted night and day under the direction of J. W. Dudley, chief operator. The school Is btlng run to perfect five girls and boys In the gentle art of rolling. In order that the efficiency of the message re lay service may be Increased and the time required for relaying may be cut down. Indications are that the Innova tion will be entirely successful. "The only trouble I that the skaters enjoy it too much," ssld W. J. Husland, one of the head", of the department. "Skating makes thslr work so pleasant and easy that when Uiey get ahead of their work they ar6 liable to toko a Joy rotl down the Male. Just for the fun of It."

WOULD USE WRONG ADDRES3 Ily Hemline I'nrknfea to Ilorder of Third Zone nnil I.ntrr llnvliiat It I'ortrnrded to Deiilliintlon In AilJncent one. if the nwfl order business of Omaha business houses becomes extensive In the employment of tho parcel post, It seems likely that accountants will Jearn the legal way to circumvent the postal regu lations and tend matter Into the fourth xohe without paying the full fqurth zone rate. This can now be done by sending the packages to nny town near the outside limit of the third zone and there again mailing It to. a town in tho secoSid zone. When packages are so sent and relayed. a saving of from 1 to -IS cents a package Lmay be made, depending on tho size of tne pacKacc, because tho second zone rate added to the third zone rate Is less than tho fourth tone rate. The limit of tho second zona Is approximately IK) miles. Tho limit of tho third Js 300 miles, and of the fourth COO miles. In the event that tho destination of a package wero more than 200 miles nn'd less than 450 miles from Omaha, the system of relay ing the parcel wilt result In a saving of from 1 to is cents each on packages weighing from six to twenty pound. A package ordinarily malted to a point more than 300 miles from Omaha would be required to pay the -fourth zone rajo. Any dlntnnce up to 150 may, be covered by remnlllng the package as described above and the difference between the original postage to tho third zone, and from there to the destination In the sec ond zone from that point, added together, aroless than the original postage would have been to the destination which would be in tho fourth zone from the office it which tho mall originated, Postmasters are required to forward packages wrongly addressed, when post age Is supplied by tho sender nnd If many heavy parcels were sent It would pay the firms malting them to Intentionally ad dress them to Inn 'wrong offlco and then send postage and have thijm forwarded to their proper1 destinations'.'

The most noticeable change In price thts week was the drop of 3 cents in the cost of fresh eggs. Fresh eggs are now selling at 33 cents a dozen, whereas last week they brought JS' cents a dozen. The re turn of the mild weather, which Is always an Incentive for hens to lay frequently, brought about the drop and eggs will probably continue to drop If the mild weather continues. Oranges took a flop skyward this week. The wholesale price has advanced 35 cents a. box, but the retail price has not changed because most dealers have a sup ply on hand left over from their pur chares when the prlco was lower. This Is th'e second' advance In oranges. A week ago oranges Increased SS cents a box. Orangei are still selling at prices ranging from 10 to 15 cents a dozen, which means that they nra about as cheap as apples, and they ore far superior Inequality. Clieeso Is itslng rapidly.

"The case will come to trial within the next few weeks,'.' sard City Attorney Lambert "Unless, the gas company tak.ss a new tack, which we aro not expecting, there will be no further delays. We aro ready to fight the case out and will re sist any attempt at delay." The death of "W. D. Marks, the city's appraisal expert will not interfere with tho trial.
