abort of fc WMk ago, and nearly 4,000 abort
of two wooka ago, but larger than for the
correspond Inf daya laat year by 4.600 htad.
A reaction from yeaterday'a decllna waa
tn prof retta all around th loop thla morn
ing. Deaplta that fact that a big run waa
looked for hero, only about half of which
waa In by o'clock, buyera were all out
arly. Bhlppera Cook tha lead, buying freely
. from tha atari A few of tholr Drat ho re
Were barely dime higher, but It waa only
a abort time until packers were In tha trade
and Under tha Influence of aharp competition
from all quartera prices, aoon. reached 100
16c higher lev. la.
Tha farther tha market went tha at renter
It became, and after flrat rounda a great
many drovaa brought fullly lio higher
prlcea. while toward midday values reached
20c higher levels, and. In apota quarter
advanrea ware quoted, aalos made Juat a
little before noon belnc a good lOo higher

Sheep After noon yeaterday two or three
ai-atterlng loada of tha weighty Umha were
nought at the blggeet declines of the day,
but at the cloae of trading elaht loads were
still unsold, four of which were forwarded
and the balance carried over for today. It
uas the seme old story thla morning. Buy
ers did not start out until late and when
they did make first offers It waa at lower
ftguree.
Sellers priced thetr hold In re atrong to a
little higher and flatly refused to take any
leaa. The result waa that moat of the
forenoon paaaed before any trading waa
done, but In Iho end selling Interests car
rled their point. Trlcea paid for tha bulk
or the Handy western lamoa were 100
llo higher on paper, but quality ahowed
a general Improvement, and tranera did
not call the- market more than atrong to at
tha outside a dime htaher. - A good ahare
of tha handy wenterrt tern be aold at 114.004
14.16, and a fw reached 114.30.
A almliar upturn to that noted In lambs
waa tn force on ire lure atock, which waa
in moderate aupply. Good western ewes
reached 11.16g 1J.40, tha latter price beat
ing all former marks by lOo per hundred.
A very ordinary kind waa bought at 110.06.
Montana yearllnga and wethers, mixed,
brought 111.40.
Tha feeder outlet again showed breadth,
and what few were her aold Arm. eqme
lamba reaching 114.16, and weev bringing
10.26.

CHICAGO (.RAIN AND PRotlNIONS.
Probable Improvement In Traffic Conditions
Sends Wheat Vp.
Chicago, Feb. 80, Free buying on the part
of bour.es with seaboard connections did a
good deal to lift values in tho wheat market
today. Prlcea closed nervous, c to 4c net
.higher, with May at $1.79 to $1,80 and
July at $1.63 to $1.53. Corn finished un
changed to o up. nattj gained c to c
and provisions finished at an advance of
26c to 32c.
v Reports that great numbers of empty care
had been started from the east to relieve
railway congestion helped materially to stim
ulate tne demand tor wheat and to give the
market an upward tendency which was at
no time entirely overcome, even for a brief
period.
In addition to the prospective clearing up
of railway traffic hindrances, there were
eigne of a revival of export purchases for
the entente allies and 4t waa said that Indi
cations pointed clearly to main dependence
on America for shipments aa long aa avail
able supplies would allow, Statements pur
porting to show that the submarine cam
paign of tho Germans waa falling far short
of the reiiulta which had been Intended
served also to create biillUh sentiment,
Snowfalls tn the southwest, where winter
wheat has had Insufficient protection from
cold and where also moisture has been seri
ously lacking, made prlcea fothe new crop
mouths lag as compared with the May
option. Nevertheless, the strength of the
nearby delivery caused July and September
to climb to a noticeable degree, especially In
the laat hour of the session. Corn hardened
with wheat. On the bulges, however, the
longs evinced a disposition tn unload. Im
proved demand from the east gave Inde
pendent firmness to oata. Offerings were not
liberal.
High record prices for hoga brought about
heavy purchasing of provisions and a corre
sponding Jump In prices. The most urgent
call was for lard, which rose to the top
most figures since the civil war.

Evidence of Disposition to
Shake Off Apathy.;"""
DEALINGS ARE BROADER
New Tork, Feb. 20. The market today
gave unmistakable evidence ot a diaposl
tion to shako off the apathy end tlmlllty
which have been Its chief characteristics
over elnco the early part of the year. Stocks
if almost all drsrrtptir.n were taken with
apparent freedom and confidence, rails and
shippings alone ahowing comparative back
wardness. Dealings were on a broader and larger
scale than at any time within the last fort
night and included an unusual variety of
issues, but seasoned or representative stocks
were most In favor especially Industrials,
Metals and. Equipments.
CommlHsiJpn houses reported a moderate
revival of public Interest, but a very large
proportion of the turnover -rhlch amounted
to 820,f00 shares, resultedfrom further cov
ering: by an over extended short Interest.
United Htatea Steel and other favorites
furnished the basis tor much of tho day's
business. Hteel made , an extreme train
of-2H points on steudy accumulation, which
comprised many large Individual lots. Al
lied Industrials were better by 1 to 2 points
with & for Virginia, Coal and Iron --and
Coke. Coppers were next In point of de
mand, virtually every Issue of that division
saining 1 to 3 points, Utah and Hmelllng
being steadily absorbed.

ay nit vim, motors, inausiriai Aiconui,
Leathers and Sugars, made variable but
general gains, and Utilities, notably Ohio

recoveries from last week's loese1e
Aside from Atlantic coast line, which

, Advices are to the effect that until
mild weather comes the Burlington
will do little in the matter of increas
ing its yardage at Gibson and double
tracking the line from the passenger
depot here to South Omaha. With
the coming of spring the work will
be pushed with allpossible speed.
The first work that the Burlington
will do looking to the spending of
something like $1,000,000 in Omaha
during the coming season will be the
cutting away of the hump tliat juts
out to the north, juat west of the
Tenth street viaduct. The earth that
will be removed will be hauled to Gib
son and there used to build up the
grade of the yards. The cutting down
of the hump straightens the line out
from the passenger station and to
the west.

But Dan Says No
Thrice did City Commissioner
Withnell offer to City Commissioner
Butler the supervision of , the ajiunici

I money for wiring the new electric

I big building at Fifteenth and How

After the two commissioners had
