OMAHA, May 15, 1914.
Tho nows of tho southwestern wheat
crop propepects Is placed In circulation
by the bulls and bears where It Is most
likely to help their respective sides. It Is
only necessary to call attention to tha
(act that thero wens two messages from
Carrolton, Mo., yesterday which were In
a. measure opposite to each other. Tho
fact that both tho experts vho sent tho
Items aro considered reliable In every
respect, misled the trade on tho whole.
Wheat closed at advances of UUc yes
terday on buying by shorts and scattered
Investors. The question was nsked late
In the day as to who furnished tho
wheat taken off the market. Some be
lieve the grain wus furnished by longs In
or.der to securo profits whllo others be
lieve the wheat was put out In tho wny
of hedges against purchases In tho coun
try. At this nartlcular season It Is a dif
ficult matter tokeep In close touch with
the actual purchases of wheat In tho
country, as well as sales to go abroad.
The situation abroad Is doubtless
stronger on wheat than tho average spec
ulator Is aware. Wheat Is strengthened
In the Importing countries by the fact
that exporters do not come forth with
quantities which prove to bo In excess of
their wants.
Kansas City cash grain men say they
are flooded with requests from the south
west for bids on wheat for June shipment
and that the purchases from day to day
are more liberal than reported.
Shorts In May corn discovered It would
bo impossiblo for them to secure any of
that month unless they bid up for It. and
they were free buyers late In the day
and the price advanced lc from the bot
tom, or opening price. Tho close was w
higher and the deferred months were up
.Wc. Th.e country was a freer seller
of the cash article, whllo at tho samp
time tha cash styles hero wcro small at
110,000 bushels. , A, , .

in the May delivery the leading help
Cash trade was slow.
Provisions ruled strong and higher on
buying by ono of the larger packers, as
well as a fair demand oh commission
house account. Stock yards speculators
were 'also buyers. The selling was at
times general and was mixed in charac
ter. There was a little better trade In
cash meats, while the hog movement was

CHICAGO GitAirr AND provisions
Fentarcn of the Trailing and Closing
Prices on Bonrtl of Trade.
CHICAGO. May 15. Estimates that the
Argentine exportame surplus or oom naa
been cut down perhaps 125,000,000 bushels,
owlnir to incessant damace by storms
made the corn market here Jump today
into chief interest on 'cnange. There was
a. deemed bulge- in nrlccs, but heavy
sales to realize profits left the cloao
merely steady at a gain of Uc to Vfcgic
net.' Wheat wound up a shade to c
above last night, oats Uc off to llJMio
advance and provisions unchanged to a
rise of 12Mc.
Decreasing stocks of corn In Chicago
and the scantiness of receipts here and
In the west attracted particular attention.
Optimists, however, were predicting an
enlargement of arrivals next week, it
being said tho country today sold freely
to arrive.
Wheat strengthened with corn and as
a result of better verified reports of
serious damage from hcsslan fly In Mis
souri and Illinois.
Oats had some Independent power to
climb, as crop prospects in Oklahoma and
Illinois were not so alluring as of late.
However, the disposition to grab profits
took the edge off tho market.
Provisions averaged higher, helned tiv
the grain bulge. Moreover, packers bought
ana firmness ruiea at me yams.

CATTI.K As usual on Friday thero
was a very Insignificant run of cattle
here, less than 200 head, and these In
eluded scarcely any drslrablo In the way
ot beef. It Is probable that the short
supply today was partly ilue to the bad
action of tho market tho first halt of tho
week. Values are now Renernlly lMJSOo
lower than a-week nKO for tho general run
of cornfed steers, and although supplies
have been comparatively llKht at all
points, tho demand lacks uruency and the
undertone to the trade Is rather weak
than otherwise. Strictly choice cattle aro
still quotablo Up around $9.00, and tho
bulk of tho fair to 1,050 to 1,400-pound
beeves sell at a spread of JS.16SfS.D0. with
the warmed up, short fed and ftrussy kinds
anywhere from 7.G0 to 8.00.
What few cows and heifers wero In
cluded In tho receipts today found a
ready sale at good, strong prices, and
closing quotations for the "week aro fully
aa itood as thev were a week bko. De
mand has boen very keen for butcher
stock all week and prices are mm
around tho high point of tho season for
anything: at all useful In this line. Rest
holfers aro nuoted ns high as 88.50 and
common ennnors as low as 83.50, the fair
to good beef butchers and beat kinds
selling around S6.50ft7.60. Veal calves
havo been In keen demand and strong; all
week and bulls and stags havo found a
free outlet at steady figure.
Volume of business In stock cattle fori
feeder steers continues In very moderate
proportion, with no particular change In
prices dno 'way or another. Desirable
Mockers are much sought after and aro
selling at very high prices, whllo tho
bulk of -the flehy-imd rough stock Is
going to the killers nt better prices than
.the feeder buyers are willing to pay
mock cows nnu neirera as wen as stock
calves huvo been In very limited supply
this week and prices hove been well
sustained throughout.

HOGS Receipts wero Very moderato
again this morning, something like
seventy cars, or 4,000 head being re.
.eclved. The supply for the week to date
foots up 36,688 head, being 3,000 head
smaller than last week, andmoat 15,000
head lighted than tho correnpoiidinff
period a year ago,
" First bids this morning were Just strong
with yesterday's average, and hardly ns
good as the good time on the close.
Sellers asked a nickel advance, and as
both buyers and salesmen refused to
trade on any other than their own terms
nothing was done till along towards 10
o'clock. Shippers andspeculators were
out In tho yards all morning picking, up
a load now and then, and as tho supply
was so light packers wero finally forced
to come to time,-no-that In the end the
bulk of the offerings moved at figures

SHEKP-Fully steady and active was
the way a very fnlr nupply of clipped
lambs for a Friday sold this morning.
Some 3.500 head were the rocelnts I and
excepting a little better than- ni'deck ot
fed western woolcd lambs whlclj were
picked up early at $.83. practically every
thing were clipped tambs. The market
was slow In getting a start, which was
due to sellers wanting sonic Improve
ment over yesterday's- prices, but when
It became apparent that tho packers welrn
not going to allow any more advance for
tho week the offerings began' lb change
hands with a very fair degree ofjoctlvlty.
Trade was all over for th6 day,, by 10;30
o'clock.
Tho rango of clipped lalnbs was Iden
tical wtlh yesterday, though possibly
somewhat narrower because of tha
smallor supply, being at 87.904fS.00.
While tho receipts havo beep of normal,
proportions for the weelc as" compared
with ono and two weeks ago and the
same week last year, prices have Jumped
to a position n'nywhere from 40q to 60c
higher than the" close pt last week. Aged
sheep have been scarce and what hnvr
been hero consisted for the. most part of
shorn ewes, which are quotably 15r25c
better than a woek, ago, A healthi'feellng
seems to have prevailed In the genera',
trade all tho wk, as evldcnced.by the
fact that toward tho close of the week
tho heavy, handy .and medium, light lambn
