GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Speculators in May Wheat May Be
Forced to Pay Piper-
OPEN INTEREST IS GUESSWORK
o Certainty Can lie Attnclird to
Holding thnt Vnrlou Trader
Am Now In Possesion Of
CIonlnRT Prices.
OMAHA, Slay 1, 1914.
The shorts In May wheat have doubt
less nold themsolve into a hole. The
fart wan clearly demonstrated yesterday
that these speculators will be forced to
Pay the piper. There woro many orders
on tho buying side In May wheat yester
day, but after opening at DIHc, It ad
vanced quietly to Mo and closed at 917k
Wic, The latter price was Vt&Uc above
the resting spot of Wednesday, with com
paratively rew buying orders filled be
causo of small offerings. Those -having
orders from their principals to cover their
outstanding May contracts soon discov
ered that the larger holders of the May
were inclined to back away from tho
Advanced prices which tho shorts were
willing to pay,.
As to the open Interest In that month,
It would be merely guesswork to say an
to tho shortage at this time. A few
months ago the holdings of May wheat
in the Chicago market were quite large,
causing persistent but quiet liquidation
dally for quite a period. The situation
has narrowed down to a position -where
the shorts must either go Into the
Pit and even up their contracts or de
liver the wheat.
Any deliveries mado on May contracts
today or later In tho month are likely to
again find their wuy back Into the hands
of tho larger holders of that future, who
also control the cash wheat here.
During the last few days thero have
been goodly withdrawals of wheat from
C hlcago houses and this grain Is to go
t-ast by rail. Thfrn In llftln riemnnil In
the east for wheat and reports from thero
complain of a lack of buying power not
only In wheat, but In flour as well. I
Thero were also complaints from Can
ada of a lack of demand for their wheat,
a message from Winnipeg saying that I
stocks at Fort William aro Increasing.
There was further scattered liquidation
In May corn yesterday. This waa tho
early weakening feature and tho dof erred
months sympathized. Thero waa a gen
eral evening up In the May previous to
delivery day. The cash market was con
sidered slow, with sales of only 60,000
bushela and It is expected those who
lake in tho corn on May contracts will
experience some, trouble in placing it to
advantage.
Shorts were buyers of oats, but the May
future did not gain on the deferred
months, as was the ca.se In corn. Oats
aent out on contracts today will be well
taken caro of by shippers. Cash sales here
yesterday were again small, at 166,000 bu.
"There was a sale of 400 bu. Canadian
rciita for export during tho last week.
, Packers absorbed the hog products
thrown Into the pit by longs, who were
anxloua to Uq ldate and In addition to
this buying there was a fair business In
Tuly ribs and lard. July and September
lard were taken by Investors and this was
the feature of the day's trade. IJttlo do

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, May l.-Estlmates that
1,000,000 more acres of wheat would be
harvested in the United States this year
than ever before smashed values today
for new crop months. May contracts.
however, were in strong hands and scored
a net gain. The market as a whole fin
ished weak at a range varying from ip
4c decline to Ho advance. Corn closed
irregula. He down to He up, oats un
changed to 4o lower and provisions with
a loss of 2V417c.
Extreme weakness which developed in
distant futures of wheat came after they
Had tiuigea in eympatny witn a snarp
upturn for May. ,
Much anxiety was shown In speculative
wheat transactions in new crop months.
A single leading trader alone took nearly
1,000,000 bushels from other prominent
dealers who had opposite Ideas in regard
to probable changes In value.
Much the same situation came about
In corn, as In wheat. The May deliveries
of com, although heavy, passed Into
Htrong hands, but jfleferrcd futures were
under dpclded sclllnir pressure from bears.
Shipments from Argentina exceeded what
had been booked for, Oats ruled com
paratively firm, as shippers received
most of the May deliveries and were ex
pected to diminish stocks here.
Provisions eased off on account of un
loading by packers. ' Steadiness ,ln tho
hog market helped to prevent a more se
rious attune.

CATTLE There waa the usual insig
nificant Friday's run of cattle, and the
offerings Included little of any conse
quence in the way or ueer. steers, ue
mand from local packers was active, how
ever; and It did not take dealers long to
clean up the very limited supply at
steady to strong prices. As compared
with a week uo the market for fat cat-.
tKj is closing about loffiso lower, tne ae-
cnnA lie 1 no- heaviest on tne main ana oniv
partly fat beef. Choice yearlings and
prime heavy beeves have sold fairly well
right along, but there has been a very
Indifferent demand and an unsatisfactory
market for the ordinary yearlings, aa
well as for the heavy cattle that lacked
fat unit finish. Undertone of the trade
at tho close, however, Is firm and packers
have been free buyers an ween.
The market for cowb and heifers has
been in nrettv much of a rut from Start
to finish, She stuff has constituted but a
small proportion of the dally receipts,
and under the Influence of vigorous buy
ing by both local packers and outside
butchers tho market ha been actlvo and
pricoa generally strong as comt-arfd with
last week. Veal calves have held steady
throughout and there has been an up
ward trend on prices for bulls, stags and
rouarh stock generally.
In stockers and feeders the volume of
business has not been very large, although
country demand has been broad and a
good clearance for the week has been
made. Inaulry has been chiefly for good
light and medium weight stuff, and for
anvthlne attractive in this line the mar
ket Is quotably 103l5o higher than last
week, on tne otner nana, main ana
fleshy cattle have been in slow sale most
of the time ana prices snow pracuoaiiy
no change as compared wiirt a week ago..

HOGS Supplies were moderate for a
Friday, about sixty-soven cars, or 4.400
head, being reported in. For the five
days the supply foots up SX.oil head, a
gain of 500 head over last week, but al
most 6,600 short of a year ago.
Trade opened out in good shape this
morning, and In spite of the fact that
advices from other markets Indicated a
general weakness in values, first sales
at the local yards were a shade higher
than yesterday's general average, and
fully steady with the high time on tho
close. Movement continued on this basis
until about two-thirds of the offerings
had been sold, when, with upwards of
twenty-five loads still In first hands, the
market suddenly weakened. Early bids
were withdrawn, and the next offers
made were a nickel lower than the early
Drlcea.
As soon as things weakened the market
came to a oomDleta standstill, and It waa
better than two hours before another
hunch moved. Sellers held out In an ef
fort to get back to early prices, but the
packers made up their minds to buy the
rest of the offerings around $8.12Vt, and
they refused to do any better tnan mis.
In the end most of the salesmen decided
that the best thing to do waa to get
what they could for their holdings, and
aa a result most of the hogs were
cleaned up. before midday, alhough at
the time of closing this report there are
inwards or ten loads still in rirst nanus.
The last sales were about a nickel lower
than the earls- market, and tne average
is hardly Ateady, Most of the sales were
made at sx.uoie.3Q. witn a spnnKiing or
the late one down to $8.!2Vi.- The high
est price paid was $8.U, the longest string
landing at tma price.

SHEEP There were really not enouch
sheep or lambs here today to make a
market, for the receipts amounted to only
some six cars, or 1.300 head, as compared
witn i.wc mat Frinay and s.iu on tne
corresponding day a year ago. The light
supply of killers on hand naturally de
veloped some strength In tho trade, anl
as a result the hulk of the lambs sold
readily at prices generally steady to a
dime higher. While the general trade,
seemed a little better there were in-
stanca where prices looked a little easier.
A bunch of Mexlcnn lambs brousnt
$8.00. and a range of $7.5tW.M would take
In the bulk of the wooled fed westerns.
Shorn lambs were welshed up at a spread
or Itu&sru.w. Tne ewe supply was scant,
and among the early transactions were
four cars or iambs, two of wnicn were
wooled and two shorn, this being duo to
yesterday's mean close.
The light run this morning makes the
light receipts for the week more marked.
For the rive days some z,mj neao nave
been vardnd. compared with S4.3S3 during
the same time last week, 49.111 two weeks
ago and 32,324 a year ago. wnne tne
market has been very ttioderatcly sup

Improvement. Prices on such grades
might be regarded as weak to a shade
lower than a week ago, All classes of
shorn offerings havo sold to a slightly
better advantage than anything else this
week, and as a consequence are nuotably
steady to a shade better.
Runnria fram amiHiArn ftnlnts are to the
effect that southern lambs are forward
ror th I time or tne year ana are in go
condition. It is thought they will go to
market earlier than usual.

DRESSING OU150 A YEAR
Whftt Women May Do if They Will
to Do It.
A SHOWING FROM GIRLS' SCHOOL
Wonderful Thlnca In .Making Their
Own Clothes Hemonstmled
ly High School
Clnsses.
Dreismuking and millinery are among
tho Important course taken by tho girts
of the Washington Irving High school.
New York City, and they do wonderful
things In making their own clothes. Pome
of Iho girls even before they have been
graduated make most ot the family
gown In addition to their own, Some of
them do the work at home and others
make It a part ot the claM work. It Is
good practice Jo make a little sister's
frock.
When tho girls hav.e a "walk around"'
in the sehool-somothing Jlke the fashion
exhibits In the shops, but with .a differ
ence they show remarkably prclty gowns
that they have made for very little
money. One of the Washington Irving
High school girl who waa graduated
last year and is Just completing a post
graduate course tins made out a table
showing how a woman can start an en
tirely new wardrobo and have everything
she needs for tho entire year for $150,
If she doe a good deal of tho work her
self. Sho Is Miss Jeanne Causrret. A grad
uating present from her father was a
dress form and now she Is going home
to use It
"I shall make my mother's cloUies and
mine," says Miss Jeanno. "and with what
one does around the house that is enough
to keep busy. Of course, my mother
helps. She sews beautifully, hut sho does
not know some of the things that t
learned. Of course, sho tells me some
things. Now l have the form I can fill
It out to her size and I can fit her
easily.
"This table I have made out will dress
a woman very well and, ot course, a girl
going to school could do with much leu.
Tills allows for an entire wardrobo as
one would have to have If one had been
burned out and I havo included every
thing In $160i"

'Ono could pay more for shoes," nay
Miss Causeret, "but they can be bought
for tho prices I have given. The coit
of the hats would not allow for a real
ostrich plume, biit If one has one It lasts
from year to year. It Is better to buy
tho coats and good ones can be bought
for the prices I have given. The winter
coat must be warm and I know chovlot
and chinchilla can be bought for $15. With
the suits It is better to have a tailor
make the coats. The woman herself can
make, the skirt. There s something In
the making, by tho tailor, but there is
more In the pressing.
"Ifor tho winter morning gown to work
about the hotlse I have allowed for a
simple serge. It might be a wash gown
If one lad a heated house, but with

"For the three summer morning dressrs

The summer evening gown would be of

thing of that kind.
"It never pay to make underclothes

can be bought very low, particularly at
the white sales. Skirts are much cheaper
to ruy man to make. You will not get
as good material as you would put In
yourself, but they will wear long enough
and are very protty. Of course. If ono

different, and It I very nice to hav

cents a yard the day before, and tho
next morning it was selling at the regu

"Would you like to see my hat?" aikcd
the young woman after she had showed
her bargain In dress goods. "It is all
wool and a yard wide," she added with
laugh, as she exhibited a pretty little
black straw hat with a black silk crown
and trimmed with little pink roses
dark blue silk fold was. on the inside next
the face.

proudly, "My mother simply roars at,
my millinery. I bought the straw anil
put It on this frame. The crown was a
part ot a waist that I mado for my
mother. The blue silk Is from a petticoat
that I think was twenty-five years old,
and the roses I bought for a winter hat
anij then didn't ue them. The green
satin on my other hat Is a little that waa
left from this drew."
This dress Is a very preily one of
dark green with a fancy collar, a little
smocked veel or front of white, and chif
fon sleeves. It Is a smart little gown and
one of the home-made one. No young
mini need be afraid of marrying a Wash
ington Inlng girl who hss taken the
dressmaking course. The $150 being for
an entire new outfit, It can be understood
that the Mrl with last year's wardrobe

reasonable cost. New York Times,-
SUEZ AND PANAMA CANALS
ronlnir Truffle ot the Former and
Clren llxpertntlnns uf (he
Iinttrr.
The Sue canal Is owned by a stock
company, with shares of stock number
ing 370,111.
Since 1875 the British government has
been the owner of 178,603 of these shares,
for which It paid $l9.S.,Ji0.
Through Its holding of thcie shares the
British government exercises a controll
ing Interest In the Buex canal.
The canal cost about ir7.orjo,0. Is 103
miles long, about (wenty-elght feet drep,
nd It take seventeen hour for vessels
to pass through tt.
During the yesr 1P10 tho Hut oinal nas
raversed by 4,533 vessels, with n total
net tonnage nf lS.Ml.KU, and the toll
charges wero $1.30 per net ton for vessels
with cargo, $2 cents per net ton for ves
sel In ballast and $1.&S for each patton
ger it years ot age.
The total receipts of the canal com
pany for the year amounted to $2S,168,4;
the cost ot maintenance and operation to
$3,857,403; payments for fixed charge and
In retiring capital obligations aggregated
$.072,C02.
The company' net profits were $15,&CH,-
(19, permitting the payment ot a dividend
of 51 per cent on the canal company's
shares.
The outstanding capital obligations
amounted to $32,M,G4( at tho olose ot the
yeHr 1910.
The ranama canal Is owned by the peo
ple of the United States.
It Is estimated that it will cost, when
completed, approximately $375,(00,000.
It will be fifty-four mile long, forty-
one feet deep and vessels will bo able to
go through it, from ocean to ocean, in
twolvs hours. To pay for thla canal the
L'nlted States government ha issued
bonds to the value of $$4,631,050, bearing
Interest at Iho rate of 2 per cent and
$M,O00,OCjO In bonds bearing Interest At the
rate of 3 per cent
The expenditure on account of tl4
cana In excess of the monoy received
from salrs of these bonds have been paid
from the cash In the United States treas
ury.
A trnfflc expert, report made to Presi
dent Taft estimated thnt during the year
1015, 10,500,000 lift tons would pass through
the Tanama. canal, of which amount the
coastwise trade of the United States,
now free from toll under existing law,
was estimated at 1,100,000 'tons.
The rate ot tolls as established by
President Taft Is to be $1.10 per net ton,
this being 10 cents per ton less than the
Suez rate collected, In tho Brlt'sh-con-
trolled canal.
Our coastwise trade being, free, the
tolls to be collected from the other ton-
nnges, as per this estimate, would amount
to ubout $11,300,000.
Tho costs of maintenance and opcra
lion It wns thought would not bo more
than that at the Suex. ray $4,006,000, which
would leave more than $7,000,000, or about
S per cent upon the entire Investment of
our people.
No ono that h studied tho trade stat
tlstlcs of the world but appreciates that,
as tho years succeed each other the ton
nages passing through the Panama canal
will show largo annual Increases, anq ex
perts believe thit by 15M the net Income
from the canal will be sufficient to enable
the payment of Instalment upon the orig
inal sum Inverted In the construction of
thla great enterprise. Cincinnati lln-

THROWING OFF PARISIAN YOKE
Women Threaten to Flrr Resolution
nt Tyranny ot Vorett
Knsiilon,
There are certain Indications that the
women of America are growing weary
of the yoke of fashion placed upon their
fair neck by the men milliner ana areis-
maker of Paris. At the meeting or tne
General Federation of Women's ClUDs to
be held in Chicago during Juno a resolu
tion denouncing the present style in
women'a dress a "ugly, uncomfortable
and Immoral" will he Introduced.
This Is revolt with a vengeance. For
how many years hare our wives and
daughter been looking to the boulevards
for tho first hint of a seaoon's mode r
For how long have we been racing over
seas to the Worths, the Rdfern
Paoulns. Doucets, Polrets and all the
later and lesser breed of fash(on oraele7
How many American dollars have gone
to the' buying of a Parisian label and
how much time hss been spent In
wrong-ling with Uncle Ham's customs bffl
cials?
There have been whisperings and mut
terlngs In the past, but never a hlpt of
uoh a revolt as such action of the fed
cratlon would portend. It Is avldent that
while American women are about the
lob of emancipating themselves they
want to inako a clean sweep of the un
dertaklng.
Maybe the diabolical "hobble skirt" led
up to all this, for the resolutions to be
offered specifically denounce that inven
tion of some enemy ot the feminine race.
"It Is hardly possible now to buy skirts
that do not hinder locomotion," com
plains the resolution. These, with the
"coitumes that cover everything and con
ceal nothing," will be one with the hoop
skirt, the Merry Widow bat and the leg
of-mutton sleove If the revoltera haye
their way.
Thl would be k sorry blow to the
Parisian designer, but he will hardly
close hi shop for a time at least. The
lure ot the Parisian label Is still strong
and there Is a fascination about the word
"Imported" when applied to creations of
fabric and lace. It will require enduring
patience to bring about a reform that
will erase Paris from the world's fashion
