Neb., April 8, 1914. hlle there Is a possibility f big longs in the May ruturo In wheat pulling mat month to a higher price level, a pro ceeding of this kind would be quite dan ogerous In the opinion ot come or more conservative men In the trade. The gov ernment crop report for April, which was made public yesterday. Indicates a m.l2SCfSnCi0,V0f wheat' 6.W0O bushels. 1W.0W ,000 bushels more than was indicated at this time last year. The longs In May wheat will more than likely make a last effort to get out of their holdings without heavy losses. It lias been known for some time that one largo concern Jn the trade has been a heavy seller of May wheat for the prin cipal longs, as thb latter decided too thoy had a whlto elephant on their hands, In ino race ot the Ideal crop reports coming from the southwest.

Misgivings about the chance that wheat -would bo damaged by the freezing temperature southwest helped to offset today the bearish influ ence of the government crop report. Ac-i cordlngly' prices closod firm at 'a shade to Vie net decline. Corn wound up '.4o to Ho above Monday night, oats down Uo to Vic and provisions with a gain of &&7Hc to 2Hic Good buying brought about -Tin early recovery from acute weakness In wheat. Tho selling drive on account of tho gov ernment figures did not become as severe as expected. Not only was tho cold snap a check on the bears, but the Bteady cables and the outlook for both delay to seeding and for falling oft In receipts northwest tended to favor a rally. Some confusion arose In regard to what sized crop the returns would Indicate. It Is explained by a leading expert hero that the assumption of nineteen bushels an acre as par and a resulting cstlmato of 662,000.000 bushels for the total yield Is not official, but a mere trade calcula tion, and It is not In accord with tha official way of figuring. The government is using seventeen and one-half bushels as par. On this basis and on an averago amount of winter killing the government report would suggest a crop of 551,000.000 bushels. Disregarding winter killing this year, howover, as virtually negligible nnd figuring tho crop deterioration from now till harvest will equal a ten-yoar average, the report would .Indicate a crop ot , CnOW)D bushels. ' Much spirit was shown on tho buying sldo of corn. At .one lime the flrBt actual sale of a cargo of Argentine corn for delivery In Chicago led to a setback, but the effect failed to last. It appeared that tho cargo might not come here, but bo mor profitably disposed of In New Engj land. Lightness of receipts hero and west, together with more urgent demand from Interior consumers, encouraged the bulls. Oats, although higher early with corn, gave way later on account of com petition of Canadian cargoes from Lake flra rrltV nf hnt?S lifted provisions, A -J Ani vi attention WAN iriVOn to lUQ heavy losses In the number of hogs left after the winior. ,iiw.

Reef steers of deslrablo quality were 10a higher ana active at tnau Tiie nest price paid for a full load was $8.75. Less desirable kinds, as a matter of course, were not so much sought after, but the feeling on all grades was at least strong, Cows and heifers were In good demand and fully steady with the lighter grades of heifers, and cows on tho heifer order a' little stronger. Tiiere were hardly any stockers and feeders In tho yards, the auimly belne limited mostly to a few loads ot odds and ends. The feeling was steady with yes terday. Everything In sight was sold at an early hour. The strength In the mar ket, both at this point and elsewhere, was duo apparently to the very light re- i-mi'is ai an me nig marxets this week, The supply here today amounted to only 103 cars, the total for the three days this week amounting to 1,417, being the small est of any similar period thus far this year, and smaller than for the corre sponding three days a year ago by over 4,000 head.

Economicers Have Wet and Dry Debate The Economlo league had a wet and dry campaign of its own last night, and went dry by a considerable majority. Harry 13. Ztmman opined that the or ganization Is going somewhat out of Its way in Us efforts at Investigating condi tions of humidity and torrldlty In Omaha, and In the course of his remarks went so far as to suggest the Inutility of the 8 o'clock 'and the Albert laws. For this Mr. Zlmman was roundly taken to task by his fellow leaguers. Laurie J. Qulnby, who lives In Dundee and regulates In Omaha, ted the on slaught on tha Zlmman Idea, and waa supported by F. V. Ramsay, who doesn't like to be called "doctor," but who does like nn argument; Henry W, Morrow, who founded the league, and therefore knows better than anybody else what ita cope and powers are; Miss F, R. Graves, the only woman present, who insisted the laws mentioned arc doing good. Donald J. Burke, chairman of the In vestigating committee, made report to the effect that the committee had so far discovered nothing worth reporting. Dy a vote of the league the committee was Instructed tn stick to the' Job until It docs discover something. It was over this Instruction that Zimtnan raised th rumpus, as he held to the view that the league hns no authority to appoint a per petual committee. Henry W. Morrow, chairman of the committee named to Investigate the police court, nlso reported he had nothing to re port. He was told to' continue his In quiry. The league adjourned at an early hour.
