their market apeolng only to lower local

It waa attar 11 o'clock when traders fi
nally got together on prleea and bulk of the
hoga tokf at 6o lower prleea. Paokera got
aoma at their first hoga 61M lower, hut
by the lime the bulk began to sell the
market had aettled down on a generally
6o lower basic. Before the close shippers
. got fresh orders and tha filling of these
etrenglhened late rounrla, some later aalea
being nearly Heady. Everything In up ao
'- noon had changed hands, but a train or two
: wena atlll back. -
- Quality waa not nearly aa 'good aa on
Saturday, the run aa uaoal oa Monday being
made up largely of mtsed and light hoga,
and oh this account prleea on paper showed
more deallne than waa- really ouotable.
' Chiyce heavlea, which ware fairly plentiful
on last week's close,' were almoat entirely
lacking. Bulk aold at f lt.f0OI0.tt, while

Cash Grain Market is Very
Quiet and Cereal Prices
Take Slump.
RECEIPTS AEE QUITE HEAVY
Omaha, January 21. 1017.
The caah grain situation waa very quiet
again today and although the receipts were
fairly heavy and the holdover samples from
Saturday were on the tables, only a small
part of the offerings were disposed of bef
fore noon. The dullness In the cash situa
tion waa the result of the decline In the
future market and very few of the sellers
cared to sell on the decline, the bulk of the
wheat sales being made up of the poorer
samples and the better asmplca were held
ovr for tomorrow's market, The" wheat
market generally waa quoted from 102c
lower, with a few cars of No. 2 hard going
at $1.8901.9O, and the No. 3 hard at
IJ601.83.
The corn market was also weak, at 0
c declines, and the sales of this cereal
were also very light. The demand for
com waa. however, pretty active, with the
yellow selling at a pre m turn over the white
and mixed. The commercial gradea of yel
low corn brought from 9304e while the
same gradea of mixed and white corn aold
for 910 93c.
The oats market waa extremely dull at
t declines and only two cars of this
cereal were reported sold.
Rye and barley were also quiet, rw be
ing quoted le lower and barley about
unchanged.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to 1,316,000 bushels; corn. 397,000 bushsls;
oats, 386,000 bushels.
Primary wheat receipts were 1.46M0O
bunhels and shipments 641,000 bushels,
against receipts of 2.321,000 bushels and
shipments of 771,000 bushels last year.

Omaha Future Market.
The report that President Wilson would
address the senate on foreign relations to
day had a depressing effect on the wheat
market today and - after a fairly strong
opening the May and July articles suffered
a sharp break, the May dropping to $1.81
and the July to $1.46.
The bears did not remain In control,
however, and. shortly before the close a
buying rally was started, which forced
May wheat to $1.84 and July to $1.48, and
the market closed about c under thts
high point of the day,
Unfavorable Argentine crop reports were
given aa I he reason for the late advance
In corn, although May corn followed the
Marly break In wheat, but later regained
Its losses when wheat started to advance.
The oats market was dull and the May
option carried the bulk ot the business In
this market and closed e higher.

( HICAOO OKA IN AND PROVISIONS
Report af Capture of Oennan Haider Tends
to Strengthen Wheat. .
Chicago, Jan. 32 President Wtlaon'a ad
dress on foreign relations brought about a
material upturn In the price ot wheat to
day, but the gains were not all held. The
market closed unsettled, yo to 2n net
higher, with May at $1.86 to $187, and
July at $1.53 to $1.58. Corn finished,
0c to c up and oat at an advaace
or a shade to 0c. In provisions the re
sult was a decline of 607c to 17c.
At first the purpose of the president was
the subject of much misunderstanding In
the wheat trade and there was a rush to
sell on account of hasty Inferences that
he might d I close a new crlsla with Germany
regarding submarines or about the status of
armed merchantmen. As aoon, however, aa
the speech hsit gone far enough to Indi
cate that he was dealing exclusively with
the topic of a league to enforce peace, sell
ers of wheat turned quirk Ijr to the buying
side. A rise of nearly 4a from the bottom
figures ef the dxy ensued. Then came news
that the president had declared for a peace
without victory, and there was a notlcnablc
renewal of bearish sentiment tn some quar
ter, certain leaders taking the position that
the expression of such views might lead to
friction between tha United States and the
entente allies.

results from the president's speech had lite
tie time to make much headway before the
wheal fnarket cloning time. Bearish inter
pretations of Washington advices aside, the
day developments favored the bulls, es
jfeclally the reports that a German raider
had been sunk and that in Nebraska the
winter crop was Imperiled by extreme cold
weather and Ice covered fields. Com dupli
cated the action of wheat. Notwlthatanding
reports of rain In Argentina, seaboard de
mand was In evidence and had considerable
effect. Country -offerings were limited.
Oats trade Included liberal purchases for
export. Pried changes, however, depended
on the course of other cereals. 1
Inrcaaed arrlvala of hogs acted as a
weight on provision. Declines that resulted
were checked by support from packers.

OF
ALFALFA BUTTER COMPANY
The Alfalfa Butter Company is encaged exclusively in the manufac
ture of CREAMERY and PROCESS butter. The butter industry is
the third, largest industry in Omaha and Omaha leads the world in
the manufacture of butter. Creamery Stock is in the front rank of
industrial securities because the product manufactured is one that
is in daily use three times a day, 365 days of the year. The food value
of butter makes it one of the three chief necessities of life.
There is alwafS a market for all the butter manufactured regard
less of its quality, because the demand is far greater than the sup
ply. The history of all the well known creameries and the increased
value of their stock is conclusive evidence of their safety and ex
ceptional earning power.
The Preferred stock of the Alfalfa Company is even more attractive
from the investor's standpoint than the majority of creamery stocks,
from the fact that a GUARANTEED-dividend of 7V4 per cent is as
sured, but the dividend is not limited to that rate, as this stock is
cumulative and participating (sharing with the common stock in the .
increased dividends that this company is certain to pay) and in addi- 1
tion this stock is nonassessable and nontaxable (tax being paid by
the company).
