JMarkct Being Looked Upon as a

COEN IS NOT BREAKING RIGHT

OMAHA, Feb. U. 1914.
Cash sales of grain at Chicago yester-.
day were 40,000 bushels of wheat. 80.000
bushels of u.ir.i und 1M.UC0 lueliels .f
oats.
A disposition existed among- wheat
traders last night tn look upon the mar
ket as a two-sided ntr.ilr for the time
being. Bears' were 'Hspoit.l to picdlct a
decline of 1 to 2 cents as the best tnlnc
to put the market In cood shape nnd
they said thero had been advance
enough. Bulls pointed to the export
rales and said they were right and that
the trado would realize It later. The
thing that made some operators go slow
on the buying side was the sale of 20,000
bushels of hard wheat nere to go to
store. Receipts for the weeic wero al
most 1,000,000 bushels, which Is an unusu
ally large run for this season, vhllo
shipments were less than onc-thlrd of
the arrivals.
Traders who have studied the com
market closely of late said it d its not
break right for the bears and It is not
expected to for some time. Tho move
ment has not Increansd as much as ex
pected, although tho run hero for tho
week is 370,000 bushels more than tho
previous week, but is much short of last
year's. The disposition to soil short on
breaks makes It easy for a few local
bulls to control the market when the
crowd all get too bearish. Hlowness in
. F?n comand makes many operators
afraid of the buU aide, although tbey
xeel that corn Is selling more nearly at
tt5ual value than of lute. Tho bears
say they expect to seo lower prices luur
In tho season.
American corn is better for making
starch than the Argentine product. Thla
Is shown by the action of the Corn
Products company In shipping an average
Ji.? c,nr from ShlS?K to its starch
plant at Oswego, N. Y,
Considerable confusion exists among
wheat traders over tho roport of cxnort
business and the denials thereof" One of
the leading Duluth exporters reported
Having sold 2.000,000 bushels of wheat
bushels of No. .1 Duluth northern and a

CHICAGO. Keb. H.-Exnort sales
which were said to have reached a large
total brought about a rally today in
wheat. Tho market, after having shown
a declining tendency most of the day,
wound uu steadv at the same as last
night to a shaile off. Corn and bats)
closed also virtually unchanged. In pro
visions tho outcome was u setback of
lOo to 22Ho.
uuying of wheat for l?uropcan shipment
took place chiefly here and nt Duluth.
Tho business was about evenly divided
between tho two cities and did not re
ceive any publicity Until near the end of
mo session. Previous to th-t time the
market had been depressed by continued
snowfalls In the winter crop region and
by reports of rain throughout the central
province of India. Moreover receipts
ror the week nt Chicago were tho largest
In five years during this part of the sea
t-on.
I Estimates that country elevator stocks
northwest had been depleted 5,000,000 bush
els since Kcbruary 1 helped the late re
covery in tno price oi wneat. 'mere were
also statements that much of the wheat
in Montana had been sold to go to the
memo coast.
Corn swung upward when wheat de
veloped returning strensth. At first.
however, tho corn market was heavy on
account oi overnight oners Having tailed
to attract eastern buyers. Prime weather
for Bhclllhg and hauling counted also
against tho bulls. In the oats crowd the
trading consisted chiefly of hedging
against rural purchases.
HOg prices at a higher level gavo a
lift to provisions. Stock yards Interests
led the buying.

CAT1L13 Hocelpts were bo light to
day as to be of no Importance whatever,
but the total for tho week amounts to
15,475 head being larger than last week,
but with that exception tho smaller for
many weeks and smuller than for a year
ago by over 4.000 head,.
Under tho Influence of moderate re
ceipts and a fair buying demand tho
market on all kinds of killing cattle,
that Is on cows and heifers as well as on
beef steers, haa gradually firmed up
and at tho closo or tne ween prices are
around 1015o higher than at the closo
of last week. At eastern points the
market has been weak owing to more
liberal supplies and to the further fact
that tho consuming demand was none
loo brisk.
Btockers and feeders sold stronger dur
ing tho early part of tho week and later
on cased off a little, so thatat the close
thero Is very little difference In current
prices than at the closo or last weex.

1IOQS Supplies wero very moderate
even for a Saturday, but the demand did
not seem to be overly good, and trade
opened rather dull. From tho outset, bids
on good butcher and heavy stuff were
steady, but during the early rounds the
lighter hogs were more or toss neglected.
Sellers wero of the opinion that values
should bo slightly higher, and for tho
first hour they held their offerings on a
nickel higher basis, but In the end they
were forced to meet tho prices proposed
by the buyers, and when the bulk of the
supply moved, the prices paid were gen
erally steady. Values were more or less
uneven, homo of the decent butchers look
ing to bo a little stronger, while the
mixed and light kinds wte no better
than steady, and In some cases were
quoted as a little easier. As a General
thing, however, the market can be
quoted as steady with Friday, lluyers'
reluctance to take hold of the light stuff
made trade more or less draggy, but the
moderate run was protty well cleaned up
by 10:30 o'clock.
Bulk of offerings moved at $S.208.40,
with a top of $8.45. For tho week values
show a net decline of about 10c, For the
first two days values looked up a little,
but from that time on, heavy receipts at
this point, and stumpy markets else
where forced the trade steadily down
ward, so that today Is the first ttmo
since Tpesday that prices have even held
their own. Today's top of $8.45 Is a flat
lOo lower than a week ago, and Is 15c
below tho year's high mark of $8.60, paid
last Tuesday,
Receipts amounted to neventy-nlne cars,
or 4,676 head, making tho week's total
65.941 head. This Is over 12,000 head larger
than a week ago, hut utmost 2,000 head
short of the same period last year. This
week's run Is the heaviest of tho year, to
date, and Tuesday's heavy supply was
the largest since Juno of last year.

SHEEP As nearly always Is the case
on a Saturday, no sheep or lambs of any
consequence appeared at tho yards this
morning. Receipts for the week have been
64,920 head, which Is a little more than
last week, but about normal with the
corresponding week a year ago.
The continued cold weather has had a
stimulating effect on tho eastern trade In
dressed mutton, creating n bullish feeling
In sheep and lambs on the hoof here.
While prices on lambs show an advance
of 10S25C, and aged sheep about JOftlSc,
as compared with the close of last week,
It seems to be the general opinion among
traders that trade In most all kinds of
klllora continues extremely sensitive to the
site of the receipts. As an indication of
this the packers again showed consid
erable discrimination against anything
only half hat and were, as a rule, very
particular as to weight. Heavy weight
lambs or sheep were not In much favor,
as most buyers seemed to want some
thing really good and of handywelght.
The bulk of the fed western lambs at
this week's close moved around $7.10jj
7.60. with a shipment of Mexican Iambs
reaching- $7.56. A wek ago most of the
fed western lambs changed hands at $6.90
37.2$. If anything, the general quality
of tho lambs offerings was a little better
than the close of the previous week.
A very fair supply of ewes showed up
(toward the close of the week and a range
!of $1856.20 took the most of them, as
Irompared wjth $i.C6ti5.0J a week ago.
Very fair quality was the rule most of
ihe week, thr.'j.h few strictly iholce
grades were available. Host ewes are
quotable nt $5.16 and possibly would bring
15.80. Some wethers yesterday were good
enough to bring $5.7S,

Persistent advertising Is the sure road
to business success;
Putting "News"
Into Advertising
Tho newspaper gives a
certain amount of "news"
value to advertising wheth
er the advertising has any
news in it or not. And this
is one of tho first essentials
of an advertisement if it is to
attract any attention. If an
advertisement is meroly a
space filler no one is benefit
ed but tho publisher. It is
up to tho advertiser to divert
attention away from the oth
er editorial and news matter
in the newspaper. To do this
calls for a rare combination
of sales ability and literary
talent.
Anyone can buy space in
a newspaper if ho has the
money but no live mer
chant or manufacturer will
want to continue vory long
merely as a "space buyer."
The newspapers are filled
with space-buyers prosper
ous merchants and manufac
turers whose margin of pro
fit and volume of sales aro
large enough each year to
permit of this expenditure

which is added to tho cost of
doing business. The way to
galvanize advertising into
life is to put news into it
to invest it with humnn. in
terest to make a strong ap
peal to human needs and de
sires. Tho advertising must
rospond in somo particular
to tho human hunger for
news and the word "news"
is merely another name- for
information.
Now, as I havo said be

advertisement will take on a

newspaper by -reason of its
vital news interest will in
fuse somo life into it. Tho
ono thing needed Ho put
news intorest and soiling
power into many a mer
chant's advertising is a man
with the news instinct plus
salesmanship. The merchant
spends twenty-five thousand
dollars a year in advertising.
Jle had better spend five
thousand of it on a man who
knows how to got something
for the twenty'ivo thousand
dollars besides "space."
Now, if tho newspaper will
impart "news" value tp a
dead advertisement, what
will it do to an advertise
ment that is already alive
with news interest?
W' yo-u want to seo what
can be accomplished by an
appeal to universal news in

This little experiment will
wake up the deadest mer
chant to tho news value of
advertising. Long after the
fiftieth article is sold hun
dreds of people will ask for
it thereby illustrating one
of tho fundamental weak
nesses of human nature
the desiro to possess some-
thing that has-been sold to
someone else. You can show
him the way to put news into
his advertising from day to
day how to vitalize it with
human interest and informa
tion. This will build up U
clientele that will Jook for
