Sheep Sheep and lamb receipts the last
week have been tolerably liberal for this
time of year, though they ara some ZO.000
short of last week's big; run. There has
been a good outlet for light and handy
lam bo all week, and while markets have
been glow at times, prices are 16 9 36c
higher than a week ago oa beat kinds.
Heavy lambs and stuff of Just fair quality
was a drag oa the market all week, and
from Tuesday to Thursday dropped as
much aa a quarter. Friday none war of
fered, but they wer credited with th gen
eral upturn, and can be called a little
higher than a week ago. Friday's market
waa the highest ever aeon here. Choice
Mexicans sold to 914.05, while good west
erns, brought from 913.76 upward, with big
weights and half-fat kinds downward to
ward 913.00. Hardly any clipped lambs
were her, but good fall clips were safely
quotable to 111.00 yesterday, with fresh
clipped stuff on down according to quality
and length of wooL
There was no quotable slump In sheep at
any time. One day the ton was eaaler and
small deductions wero noted on a few
bunches, but even then the weakness was
not goneral. On the other hand, there were
a couple of days when values moved up,
and closing figure were lto to possibly as
much aa Sla higher than a week ago, FrU
day waa high day, two records being -broken,
when ewes brought 110,00 and yearlings
reached 912.16. Oood ewes are selling up
ward from 91.71, with plain to fair kinds
upward from 18.26, and culia downward
from 18.00 A good kind of wethers ara
selling upward from 110.00, a liiuu top
being quotable,
Th first half of th week there were
quite few feeder her, but th outlet was
very broad, and up to Wednesday lambs
had advanced half a dollar or more, Thurs
day and Friday nothlnj of consequence was
offered, but there wer plenty of buyers,
and strong prices wars quotable. Most of
the feeding lambs here this week sold at
S13.OO13,60, and an extreme top ot 113.66
waa paid. Th fact la that most of the
lambs going back to the country now are
In th shearing class; that Is, something
half-fat and with a pretty good i fleece.
Hardly any feeding ewes were here, but
such feeding stock as la coming Is finding
a ready outlet.

CH1CAOO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat and Com Open Lower Because of
Export Shipping Difficulties.
Chicago, Jan. 30. Kear of German ea
rovers put a virtual stop to export business
In wheat today, and caused a material sag
In prices. The result whs an unsettled clone
He to la net lower, with May at S1.N6H
to 91.84S and July at Jl 61' to 91.S1H.
Corn finished He to ft91r down and oats
off So to ujc. Provisions showed losses
vary! nt from SHc to 120.
Oepresnlon ruled In the wheat pit right
from the outset and there was at no time
any Important rally. Whipping conditions
appeared to be typically outlined by a mes
sage from Baltimore saying the harbor there
was filled with bouts, which, owing to
chances of sinking or capture, would not
venture to start for Europe. Under such
circumstances trader here flocked to the
bear side of the market and proceeded to
offer liberally enough to keep prices tend
ing almost uniformly downgrade. Particular
attention, waa given meanwhile to Berlin
dispatches indicating a likelihood of greatly
enlarged submarine artlvtty. On the other
hand, estimates that domestfo farm reserves
were small failed to stimulate buying.
Canadian shipments of much low tirade
wheat to Minneapolis formed an additional
element age In t the bulls. Other dispatches
from the northwest said wheat In oars that
could not go east waa almost unsalable,
ven at discounts of tc a bushel.
Corn fell with wheat. Rural complaints
of a scarcity of rare tended somewhat to
check the beam. Oatg had no Independence
and merely followed the descent of other
cereals.
Weakness of hogs and gram eased down
the provision market. Besides, abnormal
freight rates on the ocean were expected to
ourtall the outgo to Burope.

Consider "Bone Dry" Bills.
The four "bone dry" bills of Sena
tor Whitmore of Ottumwa were con
sidered at a meeting of the senate
committee on the suppression of in
temperance held yesterday afternoon.
Attorney General Horace M. Havner,
who attended the meeting, declared
that the state needs legislation for
stopping the bringing in of liquor for
personal use. He says these bills
will not make the state "bone dry,!'
because liquor can still be brought in
with automobiles, although in limited
quantities, 1
John B. Hammond has proposed a
law to prevent the use of the high
ways for the bringing in of liquor,
but the attorney general objects to
this because he says it would be al
most impossible to enforce.
Both the attorney1 general and W.
C. Berber declared that Whitmore's
"bone dry" bills could break up- an
organization of bootleggers, such as
they said existed in Des Moines and
the territory around.
A bill introduced into the senate
yesterday by Senator Adams has
reference to making more drastic the
laws against bank burglary for fixing
the penalty for bank holdups, or
"stickupr" at imprisonment at hard
labor for life or for not less than
twenty-five years. His bill, known
as senate file 32, would make the car
rying of explosives evidence of in
tent to commit burglary with explo
sives. The penaltj would be impris
onment not less than twenty-five nor
more than forty years. His third
bill, known as senate tile 33, would
make the carrying of burglar tools
evidence of intent to commit burglary
and would fix the penalty at not more
than fifteen years. ,
