OMAHA. May 4. 1914.
Foreigners favor deliveries of wheat
ourinc July and September, apcordlnK to
the purchases made nt "Chicago Saturday
and earlier In the week. In addition to
xeiclgn purchases of the above months In
the local pit, southwestern markets, as
well as Winnipeg, reported purchases In
those markets as liberal. This buying,
while accomplished quietly, was a help
tit the trade at large.
There has been enough bear news re
ceived at Chicago In the last ten days to
have depressed values greatly, had not
the buying power overbalanced the sell
ing. The Missouri state report for May
was most flattering. The condition in
that state Is. 101.8, against. 99.8 a month
ago, and 9S a year ago. Last Juno the
figures were 9, when a crop of 35,000,000
bu. was harvested. The area to, corn ta
estimated at 101 per cent, but only 20
per cent of this has been planted. The
oats acrence shows considerable Increase.
It Is believed that them is still a good
elied Interest In May wheat In this mar
ket, and this Is expected to continue as a
controlling factor until the posllUn of
the shorts Is evened up.
It Is expected that the statistics for
today vlll be bullish In character The
world's' shipments will be smaller and
there will bo a good decrease In the
amount on ocean passage, as well us In
the visible supply In America and
Canada, lit Is believed by the more con
servative men In the trade that these
statistics are likely to causo a further
price upturn.
Activity nnd strength continues tn
travel hand In hand In the corn market
nt Chicago. The situation has resisted
bearish pressure, and those who havo put
out short lines feel that unless tho re
ceipts increase at primary markets they
are likely to meet with some trouble In
getting under cover. There were large
lellverlos of cotfi on May contracts, ar.d
thesa wero so well taken that It has dis
turbed those who anticipated further
liquidation from them.
The corn belt In general has received a
great amount of moisture, and the soil Is
In excellent condition for plowing and
planting. Argentine shipments have been
delayed for a time on account of the
rains, but they will Increase from this
time forward. Considerable of this grain
has been sold to oome to tho United
Ftates, and it is said that large shipments
are to be sent abroad on old sales.
Liquidation by the longs in May oats
t - was a feature as well as a factor In this
X market last week. There was more or
less pressure shown on the July and
r September because of the excellent
weather-throughout the oats country and
the good prospects for the growing crop.
The deliveries of this grain on May con
tracts were only fair, and most of It was
taken by shippers. In case these oats
are moved out it may strengthen the
cash article as well as the May future.
It Is believed by speculators that the
July and September future will be In
fluenced by the crop prospects.
Many1 of those who wero long on hog
products and who expected to talce profits
because of the likelihood of a big demand
from the government for war supplies,
havo been free sellers on the more peace
ful outlook between the United States
and Mexico.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing;
Prices on Ilonrd. of Trade,
CHICAGO, May 4. Foreign buying here
had- an important bullish Influence to
day gji wheat. In the end the market
wan easy, but H'&Ho to ic net higher.
Corn closed ?ic to V404ic up, oats off a
shade to 'Ac, and provisions with a gain
of 2Hc to 7ftc.
In-the wheat trade It was virtually con
ceded on both sides that tho situation
was a caEfl of phenomenal harvest prom
ise In this country for 1914, against fairly
bullish conditions thrpughout the rest ot
the world.
May wheat bulged so suddenly at one
tlmo as to put shorts Into a good deal
of a flurry. The upturn, however, at
tracted much hard winter wheat here
from the west, purchases to arrive being
40,000 bushels. Tightness In regard to the
May delivery was also partly relieved by
Chicago sales of 630,050 bushels of con
tract wheat to go to store.
Delay In Argentine corn shipments, a
condition due to heavy rains starting
afresh, made the com market here strong.
Argentine damage estimates were raised
10" per cent. It was also pointed out by
the bulls that the former big stocks here
had been more than cut in half, and were
now down to normal. Some of tho con
sequent upturn In prices though disap
peared as a result of profit taking in
the last hour. Prices outset were firm,
but the good outlook for the growing crop
lead to realizing sales by holders and
brought about a reaction.
Provisions lost much of an early ad
vance. The dullness of the cash trade
offset to some extent the effect of grain
strength and of the lighter run of hogs
west.

HOGS A fnlr Monday supply showed
up this morning, about ninety-five cars,
or 6.700 head, being received. Tills is
nearlv 2.000 head larger than last week
nnd about 800 head heavier than the cor
responding day last year
Packers opened out bidding Just a
shade higher. Advices from all other
points Indicated a better feeling all alonw
the line and sellers started out asking
prices that wero close to a dime higher.
Trade during the early rounds was very
slow, and nothing much sold for over an
hour, but when buyers raised their bids
a 6o higher level movement livened up
and by 10 o'clock the big end of the sup
ply had len. cashed at a nickel advance.
Toward the close the trade weakened a
little and with better than ten loads still
In first hands bids dropped back to their
early morning level, that Is, a shade
lower than the general market, and Just
strong with Saturday's average. After
this movement becamo very dull, but
there was not much competition on tho
few loads that were left, and In the end
the last sales were mnde at prices that
were a shade caster than the general
market.
Tho long end of the sales won mado
at $3.25. with tho bulk selling at $8.u(l
8.27H. There was a sprinkling of the com
moner lights down to $8.20 and tor
reached $8.30. Just a nickel above Satur
day's top. Shipping demand was rather
slack this morning and the big bulk of
ine oiierings went io paexcro.

CATTL-K Tho week starts out with a
very moderate run, about 3,600 head, or
practically the samo as- a week ago. Qual
ity of the offerings was 'very desirable
as a rule, and for the most part the trade
was very satisfactory from a seller's
standpoint, prices ranging from fully
sieaay with the close of last week to all
of 10c higher. Demand from all sources
was active, and with salable advices fnm
eastern points, feeders made short work
of tne moderato offerings, and by tho
middle or tne forenoon practically every
thing had changed hands. Choice year
lings, us well as heavy beeves, were fa
vored by all classes of buyers, while
some of the short fed and rough cattle
were rather slow sale and not more than
steady.
There were not to exceed half a dozen
loads ot cows and heifers on sale and
they changed hands quickly at prices
ranging from steady to 10c higher than
the close of last week. Demand was
very keen, and there was also plenty of
competition from feeder buyers, so that
everything changed hands quickly. Veal
calves, bulls, stags, etc., found a free out
let at fully steady figures, and there was
a strong, healthy undertone to the trade
from start to finish.
The stocker and feeder business was
comparatively quiet, as there was little
of any consequence In this line on sale.
Good stock cows and heifers were in par
ticularly good demand and sold an high
as any time during the season. The tone
to tho trade was strong and the meager
offerings changed hands early in the
forenoon.

NEW YORK. May l.-Four election
officials, were arrested today on Indict
ments for alleged frauds In connection
with tho special election of April 7, at
which the voters of the state, according
to the official canvass, decided to hold
next year a constitutional convention.
District Attorney Whitman announced
he would carry his fnvestlgatlon of
alleged election frauds Into every district
within his Jurisdiction. Evidence, he said
pointed
boxes I
ventlon proposition.
All the men arrested served In the Sixth
election district of the Twelfth assembly
district, which contains the residence of
Charles F. Murphy, leadei of Tammany
Hall. Tho statement given out at tho
district attorney's office railed attention
to this fact, but miido no accusations
ngstnst any party organization. In re
publican political circles, however, It v. as
said tho democrats favored holding tthe
convention next year because they hoped
that a division of republicans and pro
gressives would enable them to control It.
If tho proposition had failed tho conven
tion would not havo been held until 1917.
Tho evidence upon which the officials
were Indicted Indicated that of tho 300
votes cast In thn Sixth olectlon district
270 were fraudulent. Them was not a
voto against the proposition.
Three of the men under arrest are re
publicans and one n democrat. They are
Indicted for a felony, punishable by three
years In prison or a $3,000 fine, or both.
