THE BEFit OMAHA, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1D14. ( f GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Sentiment of the Wheat Traders is Largely Bearish. LOOK FOR CORN REDUCTION Dull In the Yellotr Cerent Trnde Are Anticipating; n Drop In the Prlcen for Stock of the Week. OMAHA, Mny 11. 1914. Tho sentiment of tho wheat traders Is mainly bearish, but the strong news that has come from abroad ot late and tho ad--fence there In face of declines here, have r tendency to hold short sellers In check. It Is the belief of many bull traders that Europe will take all tho spare wheat on this side In the next three months and that the continued absorption of the deferred futures by houses doing an export busi ness will eventually affect them. For tho present crop prospects arc too good for the outside trade to Indulge In any buying of consequence, and at tho same time prices of the new futures are at a level whero all bear leaders are afraid to sell shcrt to any extent and stand on their trades for more than Uc loss. Bear lead ers see nothing but lower prices so long as crop conditions aro as promising as now. Cash wheat was -unchanged. Corn bulls are. looking for heavy re ductions In stocks for the week. They figure that they will be down below 4,000, 000 bu. In today's report. This will show a loss of. 8,000,000 bu. from the high mark of the season In face of less than a nor ma! demand. It was the Impression last week that Finely, Barrell & Co., who have been credited with being tho largest holders of the May option, of late have Bold out their lines. They have deliv ered the bulk of the cash corn sent out the last few days and put out 105,000 bu. Saturday which went to shipping houses. Cash corn was He lower to c higher. The oats market got into a rut last; week and tho outside trade refused to have anything to do with It. Cash oafs WerA tin hlirhnr.

Not many offerings changed hands during tho eaily hours, but this was because the packers wore unwilling to concede as much ndvanee as the sellers asked. Later in the forenoon, however, when a satisfactory trading basis was arrived at, the movement scaleward livened up considerably and sellers were not long In effecting a completo clear ance, with prices anywhere from 15c to 26c higher on wooled ond clipped lambs and generally 10HJ15o up on anything In tho line of aged sheep, which, as usual of late, consisted mostly of clipped ewes. Tho proportion of wooled lambs was small, amounting to no more than about six cars, and practically all ot these were on the Mexican order, there being soma good enough to make a new high mark for the year and tho highest price since a year ago. The top Mexican lambs brought $8.70. This month last year lambs sold at $S.C5. A range of $7 25.R7.40 absorbed tho bulk of the clipped lambs, with th latter price being the top for the season to date. The slipped lamb supply was fairly good for this time of tho year and the quality of tho offerings was much the same as to ward the closo of last week. Tho mutton receipts being smalt, trado was naturally of small proportions. Early transactions Included some clipped ewes at $5.60, the record for the season thus far. Clearance voa barly.

CATTLE The week starts out with a rather moderate run of cattle, about 3,600 head or only a few more than were hern a week ago. Quality as a rule was not as good as last week, although beef steers constituted fully 75 per cent of tho offer ings. Trade was slow right from the start. Advices from eastern markets were generally rather bearish and packers gen erally reported their coolers full of beef, -with a very Indifferent demand for It. On account of the warm weather tho cattle wcie all taking on a heavy fill and as the dressed men were strongly averse to Duyinc water stock, the ais position was to wait as long as possible before doing business In order to give the cuttle on opportunity to ahrlnk out Ulda were anywhere from steady to a dime lower than last week, and although the trading was very slow, the bulk ot tne misiness was done on mis nasts, As usual the comparatively few cows and heifers that were Included In the re ceipts met with on active demand and ready sale at steady to strong prices. There was scarcely a full load of cowb ana heifers on the market, ana as both local packers and outside butchers wanted them and as there was consider able competition with feeder buyers the trade was active as rar as it went.

Salesmen held out for better prices until long after 10 o'clock, but packers had everything their own way, and when the supply finally started to move It was at the figures proposed early, that is, fully 10p 15c lower than Saturday's average.

Primarily, Mr. Knox asserted that toll exemption for American coastwise ships Is not In violation of the Hay-Pauncctoto treaty. Pointing out that the 1'nltcd States is building tho Panama canal at an expense of $400,000,000, Mr. Knox further declared: I I'. S. !iirintlnK tho Money, We alone are expending the untold millions necessary to fortify and protect tho canal so that some belligerent eager to secure tho resulting advantago may not destroy It; wo alone are bearing tho risk ot losing all this Investment as the result of some natural cataclysm, such as an earthquake, against which no human agency can securo us; wc alone have stood for whatever of criticism has come from the manner ot acquiring the canal xone a criticism encotlraged and fostered by the very class which now seeks to turn over to Europe a gratuity, the ben efits ot our action: w alone havo put tho lives ot the flower ot our army en gineers and of thousands of American cltlxens through all the hazards and dan gers of fatal tropic maladies; and, finally, no other country has shared and does noi propose to sharo one penny ot this ex penditure or any phase of any risk con nected with our stupendous undertaking-.

'Surely upon theso facts thorn arises no necessary implication that ureal Britain Is entitled to the benefits of this colossal vtork on the aami and Identical terms an we, the owners, tho builders, the operators, the protectors and the In surers of the canal, or that It shall dic tate how wo shall treat matters ot purely local national trade and commerce, or that wo shall be denied the very rights In respect to our domestlo commerce, whvl'h she herself claims and exercises and which overy other nation In tho world possesses." Calling attention to article 3 of the treaty upon which Great Britain bases Its protest, Mr. Knox explained that It contains six rules, the first granting a privilege and tho others spccfylng condl tlons upon which that privilege Is to bo enjoyed. Lnntcnntto of Grant. " 'The canal shall be free and open to tho vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules' Is the langusge of the grant," ha c6nt!nued. Quoting the rules which relate to war, he submitted that they did not apply to the United States. Who "Will Enforce Knleat "Has the United States," Mr. Knox In quired, "bound Itself not to use the canul It It should exercise a right pt war or act of hostility within Its sovereignity If It should revlctual lis ships or take stores In the canal; If It should embark or dlsem bark trnons within the canal; If Its ves sels of war remain within the waters longer than' twunty-four hotirst If so who Is going to enforce these rules upon the United States and will nur obedience to them be compelled hy the guns we are planting there for tho protection of the canalT Does not such a review of our right Invito all other nations to war with us It we, during an actual state of war, use the canal for any military purpose? In short wpuhl we not thus make all nations the allies ot our Im mediate adversary If we have agreed with all nations through Great Britain that the rules we prescribe for the use ot the canal apply to ourselves, the grantors ot the use? Has Same Effect. "If the right to protect the canal and the right to protect ourselves by cxer cluing privileges by our rules is Incident to our sovereignty, the right to promote our domestlo commerce In a field exclu stvety Its own Is an Incident ot sov erelgnty and ownership having the same effect." To deny the free use of our own canal for our own vessels Is lust as much an Impairment of our sovereignty as to deny our right to exercise acts of belligerency In nnd for Its protection. ' Mr. Knox revltwed the history of no gotlatlons during his administration over the British protest, declaring that it waj never contemplated "at any time or period In the history of the isthmian undertaking that Great Britain should be on terms of equality with tho owntx of the canal.'1 His position he summarised thus: "As Great Britain has no interest In the canal Itself, but only in the use ot the canal, the United States should not admit that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty 'Imposes limitations upon the freedom ot action of the United States' to legislate upon matters not affecting Ore at Britain's us or the terms upon which her use is to be enjoyed."

May ll.-Wlth th. Panama canal tolls exemption debate running strong1 in the senato and (ho lioiiso facing a record vote on the pro posed constitutional amendment for na-tlon-wldo prohibition, congress promises to havo a busy week. Developments in the Mexican situation to revive talk ol war aro problematical. House democrats will hold a caucus Tuesday night with adjournment enrly In July In view. 1 resent plans ot leaders contemplate passage ot the necessary ap propriation bills, enactment of several nntt-trust measures, the rural credits and a vote on tho prohibition amendment. All theso subjects with tho exception of the amendment will coino up In tho cau cus and nn effort mny be. mado to dis cover party sentiment on prohibition. Senate majority lenders havo not yet formed plana for a party conferonco on u legislative program, but there is a strong sentiment for tho enactment ot legislation such as tho house Is expected t'i approve, without, however, a vote on prohibition. .Mny Iteport Soon. Tho senate Interstato commerce com mittee will conclude Its hearings on the trado commission anti-trust bill early In tho week and a report may be made shortly. There Is a feeling on tho part ot somo democratic senators that this legislation hould not be taken up by them at this session. Many senators are aald to be llcvo that dcbitto on legislation ot this mportanco can not bo completed for six weeks or two niontnx and that the country would be better pleased If con gress ndjourned in July than If It stayed In session twu months longer' and put through this legislation. How far this feeling may go toward supporting an effort temporarily to lay nsldo the anti trust legislation is not predicted as yet The senate banking and currency com mittee expects to receive a report durtng the week from its sub-commltto on a rural credits bill. Tho bill seems prac tically certain to bo confined to the land mortgages and the full committee may decide upon a report within the next ten days or two weeks. Rvrpylioily to llrtv Hnr. The tolls exemption debate probably will not be concluded during the week. Many senators already have spoken, but there Is no disposition to end talk until every senator has had his say. The senate probably will pass the agricultural ap propriation bill boforo Saturday, the ap propriation committee probably will re port the legislative, executive and Judi cial appropriation bill nnd the Indian af fairs committee tho Indian appropria tion bill. Adjournment was taken yes terday until Tuesday as a mark of re spect to the American rsllora and ma rines killed at Vera Crux. Interest In tho house centers In Mex ican developments. Representatives gen erally, Including some administration sponsors, would not be surprised it the week would be mnrked by some decislvo movement by the administration. Congress Is prepared for any war emer gency. Lying on Speaker Clark's desk Is a resolution from the military affairs committee, tho passage of which would make Immediate available the $200,000,00) of the annual army appropriation bill, Tho appropriations committee s holding back Its big general deficiency bill on a possibility of a call for emergency war appropriation. The "Tuesday caucus will be n, sort of free-for-all affair and some Insistent members threaten to bring: up both the prohibition resolution and the woman suffrage resolution, the latter Is sue having been declared to be a local and not a national Issue, by a previous democratic caucus. All kinds ot rumors, about tho pros pects for action on the prohibition reso lution are flying about tho capltol. Some of the prohibition members aeaert they will fight to win, with the sentiment of the country back of them and that they believe they will command a large vote in the house. Members opposed to the resolution declare that It could win on a majority vote, but that It cannot possibly muster tw6-thlrds of the house, necessary for passage ot a constitutional amend ment. The eenute bill to provide for tem porary machinery for popular election of United States senators, a problem which some of the states already have met, will be acted upon under an agreement Tues day and the consideration of the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill will follow Tuesday and Thursday. Mean time. It will bo datermlned when to bring up the anti-trust bills and other measures.

Artificially-Raised Thermometer Makes Him Feel Very Warm It was S2 degrees above zero the last time Patrol Conductor A. C. Anderson looked at the thermometer, last night at police headquarters. "Golly, It's hot," ho exclaimed. "If It gets any hotter I'm going to divest my self of these hero heavy duds, and I don't care If I do rival 'September Mom.' He turned around, fanning himself with a. paper and thereby afforded the ja.ll Jokers free access to the thermometer. When Anderson looked again, .the ther mometer registered 122 ' "Ye. Gods!" yelled he. "120 degree: Say, I'm goln' ta hunt the North Pole. Rig beads ot perspiration stood on his forehead, and to him It actually seemed as though the temperature really did stand at 122.
