Prlcea closed heavy, lflH to ISO net lower, with May 81.84s4 and July 3l.5'ii. Corn gained 4 to H?". oats finished H to Ajc down., and provlalona varied from 7Hc decline to rlae of 70 cents. - .. Aocordlna; to a well knewa authority, the reselling of wheat by forelgnera waa due to the prospect of a reduotlon In ves sel rates and becauaa of signs that spec ulatora bad overbought. Predictions were out that ahlpmente from here to Europe will ba generally enlarged In coneequenca Of the lowering of veaael rates. Advices from Mlntieapolie that ths French government bought a larga amount of flour at the highest . quota tions this eeaaon created a rally In wheat but the effect was brief. Corn rose to a new high price record for tha 1915 crop. Bullish eetlmatea aa to tha also of the Argentine exportable aur plua were largely responsible, together with the unaettled weather In tha do mestic belt . ... .

In presenting Verdi's opera "Rlgoletto" at the Auditorium last evening the Ran Carlo Opera company not only equalled Its triumphant success of the evening bo- fore In "Alda," but. If anything, exceeded It. The audleneo waa practically of the same proportion of the opening evening, attentive, courteous and enthusiastic, and In the Instance of the well known "I. Donna Mobile" and the famous quartet waa cordial In applause and enthualastlo In the reception of the well known gema. Mma. ISdviga Vacarl aa Gllda looked pretty, acted with a sweet Innocence and slmplltcy and sang divinely. Her voice Is of an opulent velvety quality, not over heavy, but of good carrying' power, and of a clearness and beauty In Its great range that allowed her to soar to the exquisite high notes of tha "Caro Nome" In tha second act with ease and bril liancy. Her voice Is also flexible and of ft sympathetlo appeal, which adds much to the dramatlo power of her acting. "Caro Nome" waa heartily applauded and encored. In her other solo work aha was entirely adequate, and the duets In tha second act both with Blgroletto and the Duke were artiatlo and convincing to a degree. Blgnor Antola In tha title role created a vivid impression of this difficult part. His acting throughout waa Intensely real istic, for at no moment did ha depart from the character represented. In his singing as welt as his acting there is a freedom and ease which aided htm to give free rein to the many moods and stress of feelings depicted. Ha was especially effective In the third and last acts when he waa torn by many emotions. The final duet between Gllda and Rigoletto waa one of the finest bits of interpretation of the evening and left a vivid impression with tha audience.. Blgnor Agoatlnl as the Duke was like wise admirable in his part, singing the role of the profligate nobleman with a whimsical Insincerity of manner, but wheh was moat sincere, and with a wealth of vocal power and fluency. His acting was full of life and energy and Ma voice of excellent quality and even brightness. He instantly won favor with hie flrat solo, which increased to the climax of tha part in "La Donna Mobile" and the quartet Stella De Metta aa Maddalena charmed both with her acting and her warm con tralto, which added ao much to tha beauty of the quartet Natale Cervi aa Mon terona made tha most of a small part, as did Pletro dl Blast and tha other members of tha cast. Mr. Angellnl'a influence waa felt throughout the opera, tha orchestra playing with excellent ensemble and beauty of tone. The dramatlo altuatlons were clearly Indicated and expressed un der his baton. Tha scenery and costumes preserved the balance of excellence which was displayed in the rest of the presenta tion. This opera is one of the most tuneful of the Immortal Verdi's, containing a continuity of musical interest and melody. It is handicapped by a libretto with low moral tone and not in any way in keep ing with the great beauty of the muslo which clothea It. With tha exception of Gllda, and a certain amount of pity felt for the wretched Rigoletto, there Is not much of sympathy to be felt for any of the characters presented, and but for the muslo there Is slight Interest in the text The fourth act, with its many dramatlo situations, is perhaps the strongest. 11. M. R. AL GREENWOOD DID WELL AGAINST HEAVY OPPONENT CRAWFORD, Neb., Jan. .-To the Sporting Editor Omaha Bee: Referring to the article In The Omaha Be which appeared January SB regarding the tan- round bout between Al Greenwood and Tommy Smith In this city, in which Greenwood claims be got the worst of th popular decision. I wUh to say that, as fsr as Ore en wood is concerned, he was pitted against a man heavier than him self and, while he put up a clever fight, he was outwelghod and outfought. The management endeavored to get Montana Jack Sullivan of O'Neill to go against Bmlth, but waa unsuccessful and had to take a lighter man. Smith's showing hers agalnat Green wood waa a great surpria to tha many fans who had witnessed some of his pre vious work, many voicing the opinion that Smith is cspable of going against the beat In tha etote.

LANDLORDS RAISE BIO HOWL Water board rules on how to get wster service when you move Into your home, are to be posted In the water board of fice so that customers may resd them on the wall. This waa announced by F. D. Wead, chairman of the Metropolitan Water board, at ths last Real Efctate exchange meeting. Thla action Is the result of an agi tttlon started a few weeks ago by tha Omaha Real Estate exchange, when It waa charged that the water board haa been too quirk to send appllcanta for watr to the landlord to ask him to sign a guarantee of their water rent. The rulea of the board la that you must deposit 81 with the board to guar antee that you mill pay your water rent regularly, or that you must get your landlord to algn a guarantee that you will pay It. Thla guarantee. If th" landlord algna It, makea him liable for tha payment of your water rent If you 'fls" tha coop" allhout paving your bills. Object to tiaaraates. Real estate men doing a rental busi ness have always objected to signing this guarantee, holding that It la no mora Inoumbeut on them to guarantee a ton ant'a water bill then It la to guarantee hie grocery bill or his meat bill, or hia coal bill. Nevertheless a constant stream of ap plicants for water la moving from the valr board offlie to the various real estate offlcra with application blanks asking that the real ratate rental man sign tho guarantee. The realty dealers have become sick and tired of thla. "The wstrr board said you must algn thla before 1 can got water," la the com mon expression of the people, when they coma Into the office of the land lord or tha rental man. Thsn the rental man la always forced to explain that tha alternative Is tha payment by the tenant of a V deposit. Which will get them water Immediately. Tho Fastest Way. The real estate men Insisted that tha clerks In the water board office were elmply doing thlnga tha easiest way. That la when the tenant objected pay ing the 83 guarantee, they almply handed him a ailp and asked htm to get hia rental man or landlord to sign, without explaining to him that thla amounta to a guarantee. When half the members of the Real Estate exchange had poured out their vlrol lotlvenesa on F. V. Wead at tha ex change meeting some weeka ago, Mr. Wead agreed to take the matter up with the board and the result Is thst some of the seta of rules are now poated In the water office, ao thst all tenants may read.
