Cattia Receipts this morning ware large
for Thursday, 368 cara being reported.
There were more cattla at this point than
st any other market today and the re
ceipts for ths four daya foot up 46,000
head, being ths largeat of any week thua
far this year and larger than for the cor
responding week A year ago hy over 2,000
head.
The trade was naturally little slow,
buyers being In no great harry to All or-
: dero with so many cattle from which to
make aelectlona. For that reason the fore
noon was pretty well advanced before much
business had been transacted. Prlcea
ranged all the way from steady to lOo or
mora lower than yesterday.

Hogs Ths market was In almoat every
way a repetition of Wednesday's average d-
- cltne, being If anything a little larger than
. It waa yesterday. Shippers again had prac
tically no orders and. being without much
competition, packers bought what good hoga
were here at almoat their own figures, beat
kinds showing mora decline than anything
etee. A shipper buyer paid 910.80 for half
a load of strictly choice light hoga, but the
beat price given for a full load waa 910.66.
The market opened a quarter lower than
ths beet time yesterday, or at leaet 16c
below the close, and seemed to If anything
: get a little worse aa It want along bulk of
the orferlnge selling at prices that were a
big 90o below Wednesday's average, while
beat hogs, which , showed ths leaet decline
Jesterday. were called even more than a
ttarter lower In more than one Instance,

f 8heepThe advances fat lamb prlcea have
cored ths laat two daya were In view of
the action of other markets considered en
tirely unwarranted by the packer and with
"- the blggeat run on the market map at
their disposal this morning buyers dealt
out bear talk from the very outset. Bide
were mighty scarce during the earlier part
of the forenoon, but the talk was that pack
ers had set their mark a quarter below wa
terway. Feeder buyers boeught a few of
the good to choice lambs during the first
half oft the forenoon at about ateady prlcea,
paying 910.26 In more than one Instance and
giving 910.46 for aoms that were real good,
but here, too, there waa a slumpy feeling,
and demand waa I see keen than on any
Dravlou day of the week.
When movement actually started It was
on a vary Irregular basis. Several bunches
trf fat lambs sold 18026oIower, bringing
910.20019.26, while one strlns at 910-80
waa ateady with yeaterday. Feed ere were
about the same way. trade being very
etlcky after a few early sales had been
made a steady prices. Not enough old
meep had sold at aooa to give a line on
tae market.

Influence on Wheat.
Chicago, Sept 11. Wheat prices rallied
today on account largely of European buy
ing, which developed after a decline here
due more or leaa to lower quotations at
Liverpool. Ths cloae was ftrm at 91.60
for December and 91-51 for May, with the
market as a whole He off to o up, as
compared with yesterday's finish. Corn

Depression ruled In the wheat trade here
until suspicion was aroused that today' tt
Liverpool quotations had been lowered to
facilitate European buying of wheat In the
United States on a cheaper basis than
might otherwise be the caae. Liverpool ad
vices gave a different reason for the set
back In valuea abroad namely, that in
creased shipments were expected from Aus
tralia, and Argentina. There were reports
alao of rains in Argentina, where of late
a serious drought has prevailed. Aa aoon,
however, aa gossip apread that the break

What
3)
rohifoitiomi
Will Do:
(Excerpt from "The Topeka Daily State Journal" of August 29, 1916)
"Of the 166 criminal cases docketed for the
September term of court 106 are for violations of the
prohibitory law."
"Not all of these liquor cases will be tried. Some
will be dismissed after they come to trial, the county
discovering there is not sufficient evidence to secure
convictions. As a rule about one-tenth of the cases
. brought charging violations of the prohibitory law are
tried. They cost the county about $50 each."
"One noticeable thing about the xcriminal docket
for the September term is that forty-six of the joint
cases are against women. Forty-six women are charged
with selling liquor."
The evils that prevail under prohibition in the city
of Topeka, the capital of Kansas, would prevail
in Omaha.
If Topeka, after 35 long years of prohibition, is unable to
make prohibition effective, what reason is there to believe
that Omaha, a city four times as large, will escape the de
N moralizing influences that exist tp this very day in Topeka.
What is true of Topeka is also substantially true of every
city in Kansas.

Efforts of Aggressive Specula,
tire Faction to Depress
Prices Futile '
SALES OVER ONE MILLION
New York, Sept. 21 The striking feature
of today's session tn which sales ran over
a million shares for the thirteenth consecu
tive full day. was the futile effort of ar
aggressive speculative faction to depres
nrlces. Initial quotations were malnlj
higher; some subs'antlally so, but a serle.
of bear attacks effaced this advantage be
fore the first hour, leaving the list rather
unsettled.
These tactics were successfully main
tained until the middle of the day, when
conditions Improved, chiefly In consequence
of another and more general advance In
coppers, those Issues responding to an
nouncement that producers and agents had
advanced the price of the metal for No
vember delivery to 28 Vj cents.
New maximums were made by leading
metals, Anaconda rising to 964. Utah to
90 and Inspiration to 64. Related Is
sues were correspondingly strong on fur
ther advances In lead, spelter and by
products. Dealings In the metal shares
were on the largest scale of ths year,
amounting to about 30 per cent of the
whole.
United States Steel lifted the list to the
day's highest level In the final hour on
its advance to the new record of 109,
passing Its previous top by almost a point.
Ralls and other Investments moved up 1 to
more than 2 points, gains being effected
almost wholly at the expense of the short
Interest, which surrendered such prospective
profits as the previous day's Irregular mar
ket may have yielded.
Many minor Issues, such as leathers,
sugars, Mexicans and some equipments,
participated more or less generally In the
recovery with shipping stocks andmotors.
A conspicuous exception was Oeneral
Motors, which fell 65 points to 6S0, that
decline, however, hardly offsetting its re
cent advance of about 176 points. Total
sales of stocks amounted to 1,366,000 shares.
Franc, and mark, were slightly firmer,
with other foreign remittances unaltered.
More gold was reported to be on the way
from England and French credit negotia
tions were continued.
Bonds were strong with an Increased
demand for Investments. Total sales, par
value, 83,970.000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call, with coupon 4s lower by per cent
on sales.

School Nurse May
Not Be Appointed,
Ernst Tells Graff
Eresident Ernst of the Board of
Education has directed Superintend
ent Graff not to appoint a head nurse
for the public school medical inspec
tion staff. The action of the board
last Monday evening will be recon
sidered at the next meeting.
The vote to appoint a nurse in
stead of a physician as head of the
medical inspection was 6 to 4, Dr. D.
E. Jenkins voting "yes" under a mis
apprehension, he has stated. Vice
Chairman Cowell of the board was
out of the city at the time, so in .view
of these circumstances, President
Ernst thought it would be well to
hold the matter in abeyance until the
next meeting of the board.
The eight nurses will contimre their
inspection work under general direc
tions of the superintendent of instruc
tion. Goes to Pen for Holding

ser is 19 years old.
