Cattle Receiuts were of no consequent;!
this morning, but for the week they amount
to 28,357 head, being smallor than last
week by over 1.006 head, but larger than
year ago by 6,000 head. Considering the
severe1 weather the receipts of cattle this
week nave really been large and more tha
coi Id reasonably have been expected. The
market during the early part of the week
was In splendid condition, but It eased off
at the close, largely on account of the bad
car situation, packers being hampered by
a lack of cars In forwarding meat products
eastward. At the close of the week beef
steers of the best grades are about steady,
out less desliablo kinds weakened oft yes
terday and the day before, so that they
were z&tanflo lower than last week s close.
Cows and heifers, eased off during the
last two days until they are around 16$
joe tower.
Best feeders have held no fully steady.
while the general run of stocker and feeder
uatue are around 26o lower.'

Hogs Prices reacted sharply this monv
nig, recovering a gooa snare of Friday
general decline. Shipper demand was very
uroau, oraer Duyers accounting for two-
thirds or more of the light run. They
bou.-ht their first hoes rnunrl ha hlsrhnr.
but had to pay 2030o higher for the bulk
oc ineir purchases. There were hardly
enough hogs here to make buy for the
jmcaers 10 oegin witn, and tney were un
able to do anything early. After shippers
had bought what they wanted killers cleaned
up moat of the balalice of the run at prices
mm were aoout line eany, tnat u, any'
whi.ro from 15o to 30c higher than yester
uay.
The average market was not far from
Za algQT than Friday. As a natural re.
suit of the uneven markets the last few
days and the lightness of the run, sales
are spread out over quite a range, and It Is
naru to nnc a bum. Today a good many
sales were made all the way from $11.25
to sii.iii, witn some lla-ht stuff under that.
Mont traders quoted the bulk at $11.40
11.60, and choice heavies brought the day's
lop or ui.it.

Sheep in spite of severely cold weather,
receipts of sheep and lambs the last week
were well up to normal for this time of year.
Markets were for the most part irregular
and drag g-y, but closing lamb prices are as
a general thing around 10l6o higher than
a week ago. On Monday's liberal run val
ues held generally steady. Tuesday's
celpts were very generous and the trade
was a many-sided affair, handy lambs open
ing stronger on bullish advices from Chi
cago, but all kinds closing lower when val
ues in the Windy City broke Instead of ad-
vanclng. Wednesday's trade, white- slow,
was unchanged, tfnd Thursday, with
toppy lambs here, prices were quoted
jiiHuy, mouga on paper sales looked lower,
nothing selling above 114.30, while as high
us $14.45 was paid the previous day. Yes
terday the quality was very good, and un
der the Influence o a good buying demand
trade was strong to v lQo, higher, looking
oven mora than that on paper owing to the
laci mat so many good lambs were here.

WHEAT BREAKS A LITTIfE
Omaha, February S. 1917,
The rash grain situation was very quiet
agstn today, and while wheat prices
vanced from lo to 3c. the trade was very
slow on account of the uncertain conditions
prevailing. A lack of export Inquiry also
contributed to the dullness in wheat, ana
while there was a fair local demand for
this cereal, the sellers did not let go until
shortly before the close. The market on
No. 2 hard wheat was around $1.69 H
$1.72; No. 8 hard brought from $1.67 to
$1.67Mj, and the No. 4 bard sold at $1.63
and $1.65.
The corn market did not follow the break
1 wheat, but there was a .pretty good In
quiry for this article at prices ruling irom
uncnangeu to c lower.
The bulk of the corn sales were made
up of the yellow and mixed variety, the
yellow and mixed KOintr at 92Vio to 93c,
and a few cars of the white selling at 92c.
The oats market continued quiet, with
urlces quoted n radically unchanged. Stand'
ard oats was quoted at 61 '.c; No. 4 white
sold from 60o to 61c, and sample white
sold at 60 Ho.
Rve was ouiet at a lo advance, and bar
ley was fairly active, with prices quoted 1c
to 2o up.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to 294.000 bushels; corn, 120.000 bushels;
oats. 686,000 bushels.
Primary wheat receipts were 407,000 bush
els and shipments 619.000 bushels, against
receipts of 1,104.000 bushels and shipments
of 720.000 bushels last year.
Primary corn receipts were 726.000 bush
els anil shipments '631.000 bushels, against

of 746.000 bushels last year.

local traders and today was an exceptional
one In the making of prices. The market
fluctuated very rapidly ana prices coverea

There was not mucn export wneai wiu

would be regarded as a bearish factor the
bulls took control shortly Deiore noon ana
forced a ranld rise in May and July wneat,
both of these articles closing on tne nign
Quotation for the day.
corn was ratner quiet ana uoin um
and oats market followed the action of

hi, passports, conveying a formal no
tification that the United States had
severed diplomatic relations, conforms
closely to President Wilson's address
to congress.

addressed to the ambassador the com
munication reviews the diplomatic
correspondence between the two gov
ernments since the sinking of the
Sussex, using the same ouotations
that were embodied by the president
in his address. It then announces
bluntly that "all diplomatic relations
between the United States and the
German empire are severed." that
Ambassador Gerard will come home.

The note, begins as follows:

"Department of State, Feb. 3. 1917.
"Excellency: In acknowledging the

which announced the purpose of your

of submarine warfare, I would direct
your attention to the following state
ments appearing in the correspond
ence which has passed between the
government of the United States and
the imperial government in regard to
submarine warfare."
Tht Quotations Follow.
Then follow the quotations used by
the president in addressing congress:
That from the Sussex note giving no
tification of a severance of diplomatic
relations unless Germany's submarine
warfare is brought within interna
tional law; that from the German re
ply giving new pledges but reserving
liberty of action should the allied
blockade continue unmodified; that
from the American rejoinder saying
that the United States could not
predicate Germany's compliance with
international law upon the conduct of
another belligerent, and, lastly, tnat
from a memorandum accompanying
the German note of January 31, giving
notice of unrestricted naval warlarc

that "there are few orchestras in the

The Bohemians of Greater Omaha,
as members of the Bohemian Na
tional Alliance of America, assembled
Friday at the Tel Jed Sokol hall.
Thirteenth and Martha streets, passed
unanimously a resolution, portesting
strongly against House Roll 291,
which aims to repeal the Mocket law,
adopted by the legislature four years
ago, providing for the teaching of
modern languages in grade schools, in
classes above the Fifth grade, under
certain conditions.
This law was held to be constitu
tional by the supreme court of Ne

in which the Bohemian language is
being taught. The Bohemians hold,
that the teaching of foreign languages
did not cause any other regular sub
ject or the English language to be
neglected. The Bohemians of this
country are determined to have their
children educated in the English
language above all, as the language
of this country, but they feel that the
teaching of the language of their an
cestors under certain conditions can
only tend to make them advanced in
all other subjects.
It was reported at the meeting that
$1,500 had been raised in this section
for the war sufferers.

GRAND JURY MAY
END SESSION SOON
Just a Few Days Longer and
Speedy Gentry May Come
from Cellars.
THEY , STILL PROBE VICE
Court house rumors question
whether the present grand jury,
which reported last- Tuesday and
started its investigations shortly
afterward, will continue its star cham
ber sessions more than a few day,
longer. At the very start of the in
quisitorial body , sessions it was
hinted that unless something unex
pected turned up a couple1 of weeks
at the outside would see the scatter
ing of the sixteen evidence hunters.
It is believed that the grand jury
has cleaned up most of its work al
ready and legions of that clan said to
keep just within the law; are sup
posed to be preparing to come up out
of their cyclone cellars. i
Hundreds ot witnesses have been
examined since Tuesday afternoon,
when the first fateful subpoenaes were
issued to Omahans requesting them to
appear belore the secretive sixteen
and cough up what they knew, about
this, that and the other thing.
From Soup to Nuts.
It is understood that the grand jury
in the last few days probed into
everything from soup to nuts. Rumors
ot investigations ot tne sale ot cig-
arets and of vice threw life-sized
scares' into not a few who are resting
easier, now that the week is over and
no startling indictment bombs have
burst. The grand jury returned sev
eral true rills, but they were in police
court cases, it is understood.
The body is said to be still working
on the evidence, submitted friday
when several persons were subpoenaed
to appeal as witnesses to tell ot vice
conditions and prostitution, under
stood to have been traced to certain
hotels. The elbsed-door jurymen re
treated to their sanctum of mystery
on the fourth floor of the court house
for lust one hour Saturddy morning.
A lone witness, who didn't look as if
he had anything ot titantic importance
up his sleeve, was usheret'. into the
stronghold. ,
