OMAHA. March 21, ml.
Speculators In corn who Ifavo for years
been connected with farms ami who know
tho movements connected with spring
seeding, are advising tho sale ot July
corn at tlio present price. Ono of these
men snltl last night that with tho tioavy
purchases of Argentine corn, which nro
to conio to American ports between now
nnd June, and with additional amounts
likely to be sold, there Is little left on
the bull side of tho market for a Ions pull.
The Jlay future was not mentioned by
this conservative speculator. Spring farm
work will bo finished at no far distant
day and the run of corn during Juno and
July, especially the latter month, la ox
.pectcd to be liberal. Those who are ad
vising tho sale of July believe that tho
' May will sell somewhat higher during the
life of that option. The action of cash
corn markets throughout tho west and
the declines established In alt positions,
showed beyond a doubt that tho edge Is
off corn for the tlmo being.
While there were additional rains In
Argentina and tho harvest and movement
of corn was restricted thereby, these
Items failed to cut down tho offerings
from Buenos Ayres, which wore at lower
levels. One of tho larger speculators at
Chicago, and who, by tho way. Is a bull
on corn at the moment, says if tho Ar
Krntlno snlcs nro as large as reported
they will prove, a bearish factor of mo
ment, particularly when values aro as
high as at present.
Wheat closed around tho lowest lovels
, of the session yesterday. Tho principal
bear factor was tho weakness shown In
tho corn market, together with dullness
in cosh wheat, as only 15,000 bushels
changed hands and bids for additional
amounts were said to be too low for con
sideration. There wcro reported Bales of
fifty-two boatloads of wheat Thursday
and yesterday with tho greater part Ot
It No. 3 hard winter.
A message from Winnipeg complained
of lack of demand for cash groin there
and aald that lmoprtcrs ot the old world
were securing their supplies from Ituesla
and other countries and that In order to
move the surplus held In Canada the
asking prlco ot competitors would have
to bo met.
The" May wheat futuro was again the
stronger one, and, it helped steady tho
deferred months. July and September
wero under moderate rolling pressure,
with the bears giving more attention to
the latter future.
The oats niarket was under considerable
selling pressure and losses for tho day
worn yifilo for Mav and July, while Sep
tember ruled steady. Larger traders In
.the Chicago market aro ben nan on oais
because ot big supplies In nil positions.
The advanco ot Co In tho price of hogs
at the van s started the provision mark-
kot at a little higher range and closing
Drlces wero steady to a shade hotter.
Shorts wero buyers of pork and ribs, and
one ot tho larger packers was credited
with buying ribs. The offerings were
mostly from those having profits. Cash

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Doard of Trade.
CHICAGO, March 21.-After a stubborn
flKht. corn todav closed steady but at
o to 0Ho net decline. Other leading
staples, too, all Bhowed a loss wheat a
snaao to lAqc, oats mh'AC to c ana
provisions IWtl'lZ'Ac,
Heavy Belling ot corn by a group ot
large speculators met with unlooked for
obstacles ana turned out only a umitea
success In carrying the market down
grade. Free reinstating bit the cart of
longs who had taken profits at a higher
level absorbed all the offerings on a
slowly declining scale. No important
rally took place, however, and prices In
the end were hut llttlo above the low
rolnt of the season.
lleports that the St. Louts cash market
had become demoralized were current
Just before tho weakness In corn hero
was most nronounced. The Chicago
bulls, though, seemed to have no Idea of
Joining a stampede. It was pointed out
that receipts here during the week were
tho smallest in five years. On tho other
hand, thero was no denying that Argen
tine cargoes wero being offered cheaper
and that one shipload had been sold at
a run cent umier tue asxtng price twen
tv-four hours before.
Bearish cable quotations due to a pros
pect ot abundant supplies from all quar
ters made the wheat market easy from
the start. It was somewhat peculiar,
nevertheless, that the new crop months
were more firmly held than May. Tho
chief reason anneared to be that the
July option at KansuB City was not far
out or line tor export, anu mat casn
houses here were buying the deferred
delivery at tho Missouri river.
Traders In oats took their cue from
the action of corn. Much ot the busi
ness consisted In changes Detween May
and July.
Predictions of larger receipts of hogs
next week tended to. drag ,dpwn provi
sions, opecuiativo Belling assumed con-
siucrauie importance.

NIAGARA KILLS MANY ANIMALS
Lacnl Observer) Tell of TrnKciIlcn
Aiiiourt AVilil Crcnture at
I he Kails.
The . Niagara pitfall, or "swau trap,"
as it la appropriately dubbed at present,
deservedly claims considerable attention
from the local ornithologists of that r.
glon. and their reports have always been
read with great Interest In ornithological
circles. These observers, as do niiir.
more i emote, rue the facts of this yearlv
sacrifice, yet they feel their helplessness.
Tito first and most extended account
is from a letter bv Peter
wrote September 2, 1700:
Several of the French gentlemen told
me that when birds eomo flying Into this
fog or smoke of tho fall, they fall down
and perish In the water; either because
their wings are become wet, or that the
noiso or the fall astonishes them, and
they know not where to go In tho dark;
but others were of tho opinion that sel
dom or never any bird perishes thero In
that manner; because, as thoy agreed.
among the abundance of birds found dead
below tho falls, there aro no other sorts
than such aa live nnd swim frequently
In the water, aa swans, geese, ducks,
water hens, teals and the like. And very
often great flocks of thorn aro seen going
to destruction In this manner; they iMni
In tho river above the falls, and so aro
carried down lower and lower by the
water, and as water fowl commonly de
light in being carried with the stream,
so here they Indulgo themselves In en
joying tins pleasure so long, till the
swlftnesa of the water become so great
that It Is no longer posslblo for them to
rise, but they are driven down the preci
pice ana perish."
Fifteen years later 0766) Major Robert
Itogers says;
"Many boosts and fowls hero lone their
lives by attempting to swim across tho
stream in he rapids, and nre found
daahed to pieces below; and sometimes
the Indians have met the like, fate, cither
through their carelessness or drunken
ness. - Tne land on either side
rises gradually, and perhaps no place lu
tno world is rrequonted by such a num
ber of eagles as this. Invited hither by
uie carnage uerore mentioned, that Is
here made of deer, elks, bears, etc., on
which they feed." ,
Arfwedson gives an account of a bar
barous spectaclo in the summer ot 1827.
He wrote:
"Scones of a barbarous oharacler have,
upon various occasions, been exhibited In
this spot, for the purpose of collecting
and nmuslng a number of people. In the
summer of 1827 a smull vessel, filled with
animals of different kinds was sent down
the falls tn the presence of several thou
sand spectators. The unfortunate unU
main, consisting of bears, wolves, dogs,
cats, geese, etc., covered tho deck, and
for a while looked at each other with
surprise and fear, as If unable to account
for this sudden and unusual association;
but when the bark struck against the
rocka above the fall the confusion on
board wan beyond description, and In the
midst of It a bear was shoved into tho
stream. Luckily he swam on shore, not
withstanding the rapidity of the current.
The small vessel meanwhile ran aground,
lost Its masts and gradually filled with
water, Tho poor animals gathered on that
part of tho deck which was most elevated
above the water, and In a second the
whole party was precipitated down the
fall. Shattered fragments now appeared
on the surface of the deep, and of all
the animals only two were picked up
alive a cat and a goose. What cruel
sport for an Enlightened people!" Forest

CATTLH All told, only seven cars ot
Cattle wero wnoited In tlin varus today.
and thero was no materlul change In the
innrKct conditions, tor tlio vock ro
cclptH amount to 15,0m head, being tho
smallest nt any week slnco tho first
weak In February, and smaller than a
yeur ago by about 400 head.
Jioet steers ut all points turouguoui
tho country have bcon In unusually poor
demand this week owing to nn oversup
ply ot beef and a poor consuming de
mand at the large eastern centers of
population. Tho market on fat cattle has
been slow nnd unsatisfactory from start
to finish, with prices lO&'.fOa lower than
a week ago. The common to pretty do
cent kinds ot cattlo uro n rou nil k! tower
than the high time two wecka'ago, and
tho choicest woll finished steers -o
lower. I'ackers have been very bearish,
using tho liberal Importations ot Argen
tina beef as a club with which to force
tho market downwaid.
Cows have declined In about the same
proportion as licet steers, being at the
present time lOflaOo lower than last week,
fat heifers liuvo not shown so much
loss, being not over llW6c lower. Stock
cows nnd heifers havo been uctivo sellers
nil tho week nt strong prices and thoy
are now, If anything, a little higher thun
a week ago. Heavy litt hulls are :frf35o
lower than last week and In sotno cased
40&60u lower. Light yeaning bulls have
not shown so much decline and stock
hulls nre steady.
BtocKers and feeder steers were stronger
at tho beginning ot thu week, but liuvo
cased oft and are now no bettor tnnn
steady If they aro as high as they wore
at th eclosii of last weeK. Tlio ckuno ot
the weakness Is to he found In tho lim
ited country demand, and to a icellng
that priced nro too high us compared to
tho way tat cuun aro selling.

HOGS A liberal Saturday run showed
up this morning, and the market opened
out with bids around u nickel lower, uu
tore much of anything wus sold, how
over, pi Ices braced uu a little, und when
Uio supply started to move, tho market
was anywhere trom weak on some kinds
to as mucn as be lower on most grades.
with an occasional load looking to he
steady. Movement was far from active
but was fairly continuous, and the hulk
ot the hogs was sold in fair season nt
pnres that wore mostly a nicked lower
With a rather uncertain demand I ha
markets on the last two or throe days
nave ciuseu nt mo wcbk tune, anu toaay
proved no exception to this rule, for with
qulto a good many hogs still unsold
prices slumped off till they were n big
nicKci, ana in some instances bzriuo lower
than yesterday average. A Is common
on weak closes, the trado became very
dull, but as things still looked rnther
shaky, salesmen cume to tho conclusion
that the best they could do was to get
what they could, nnd cut loose, so that
when the last hogs were sold the market
was a shado lower than earlier, or a big
nicked below yesterday's average, anil
tho general market Is nearly 6c lower.
For the week prices look to be Just a
shado tower. The market has fluctuated
a good deal during the week, nnd at tho
close of yesterday's trado was, If any
thing, a little Higher than a week airo.
but today's decline HWlnKH the balance
tho other way, and values are a shado
lower than tno clone or lust week.
HocalptM wore very liberal for a Satur
day. 139 earn, or 9,63.5 head, being received.
For tho week the total Is til,4M, being

The demand from the country for lambs
