I Hon The supply of hogs were none too
liberal even for a Monday, arrivals counting
out only about 127 care, or 9,200 head. Tula
la about 1,900 smaller than laat week and
over 2.000 short of two weeks ago, but
larger than for the corresponding Monday
of last yearly a few hundred head.
The market waa something of a runaway
affair again this morning, being very active
at prices that showed all sorts of upturns.
The demand waa good from all quarters and
with supplies that were anything but bur
densome, and bulllnh wires from outside
points, movement started early. Some of
the first sales were no more than 6010c
higher, but under the Influence of keen
uompetlttpn prices rapidly moved to 10c
and thesf 10 He higher levels, eotne sales
being made as much as 30a higher.
A good clearance waa made long before
the middle of the forenoon. Prices were
gonorally lAfi-lBc higher, sales being mnde
all the way from a nickel to ns much as
20c higher. Bulk of the offerings aold at
$12.66011-90, with full loads as high as
912.96. and halt a load of good heavies at
913.00.

' Sheep A rather generous supply of sheep
and lambs was on hand for A he start of the
week, mid forenoon estimates calling for
fifty -eight cars, or 14,000 head, which was
several toads more than were expected
early. This Is a trifle smaller than for
Monday, a week ago, but Is over 8,000 Isrger
than two weeks sgo, and a gala of 8,800
head as compared wtlht ant year.
Buppllea Mere fairly decent all around
the loop thta morning, and early round of
the lamb market had a decidedly weaklah
-tone- Packers aeemed to be more or less
Indifferent even towards the good light
lambs, and did not even make blda on a
good many of the handy weight and heavy
lambs.
, A few of the choice light Mexican lambs
sold In fair season at prices that were nut
over a shade easier, but the bulk of the
offerings did not start to move until well
along In the morning, when they were
finally bought at figures that were fully' a
dime dower than last week's close and were
called even more than that by some trad
ers Even at the decline heavy lambs were
poor performers, several loads that were on
the weighty order bflng atlll unsold at a
rather late hour. Bulk of the good handy
walaht weaterns sold around 814.16, with
few cars as high as $14.26. 'Several bunches
of the best Mexicans, some of which were
very similar to those that brought 914.06
last Friday, were bought at $14.60, and
other Mexicans that were extremely light.
but nothing extra as to finish, took $14.60.
Axed claeaes were more active than lambs,
bulk of be old sheep selling In good season
at about steady prices. As high as $11.60
was paid for best ewes, the price equaling
the record, and a good kind was bought at
$11 00 11.60, with some plainer ones down

Omaha futures.
Many conflicting conditions exist In the
grain trade at the present time and the
disposition seems to he to go slowly on
both aides. While the traffic conditions
have Improved during the last few days, the ,
situation la far from normal and the polltl- :
al situation, both here and abroad, is aa
unsettled aa ever, and theae unsettled con
dltlons tend to have a very nervous effect !
on markat conditions generally. ;
The local trade In futures was rainy
active today, but prices held within a nar
row range, especially In the corn and oats
markets, although the range between the
high and low on May wheat was only Ittcl
and that article closed at 91.76H, a de-
Kne or fio rrom tne opening quotations.
Independently of wheat, there was very I
little Influence on either the corn or oata 1
market, and theae cereals followed the ao- I
lion of wheat rather closely, May com doe

prior to the openlnff that tho president
would go berorn congress and request sun-
port In employing armed force to protect
American marlno rights, tho wheat trade
showed no trane of fjtritement and, on the
contrary, was more stesdy than usual. Keen
Inlet-tut was manifested In the president's
action, but as an Influence on values his
course jtoemed to have been fulty antic
ipated. Only narrow fluctuations took plare
until word came that tho Laeonla had been
torpedoed without warning and that Amer
icana were aboard. Peraletent selline then
developed for the sent of the day, the bear
side of the markat manifestly having the
aa vantage.
A Hharp falling off In the United States
visible supply total counteracted to some
extent th depressing consequences on wheat
prices that the loss of the Lacona might
otherwise have brought about. Bullish esti
mates were also current aa to the amount
of farm reserves. Besides, the outlook for
the domestic winter crop remained un
promising. On the other hand, no Improve
ment was notices oi p in regard to the rail
way blockade at the grain elevators here.

WOMEN PUNCTURE PROflTS
In the matter of ladies' ready-to-wear
apparel the local retailers say
they will be compelled to make a
more strenuous campaign than ever
against the "return-goods" evil.
This follows upon the announce
ment by the National Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers' association that
they will not accept returned goods
except in cases where the goods is
shown to be not as represented, or is
unsatisfactory for any other reason.
Omaha .ctailers have begun to con
sider how more strennouslj to fight
the return-goods evil. The manufac
turer points out that the "return
goods" evil strikes him after it has
struck the retailer, and thai it really
is as great a nuisance to him as to
the retailer.
In the circular which tht retailers
have received from the National
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers'
association, this organization winds
up the discussion with the following:
First We allow no mlarppresflntation, Int
pllsd or expressed, and shall bo grateful If
you will Inform us, should any such occur.
Second Wo shall be glad to take hack
for return or exchange any merchandise
that Is not as represented or la unsatisfac
tory for any other reason for which we
are at fault, If complaint Is made im
mediately upon recelpta of the goods.
Garments fairly bought and fairly de

London, Feb. 12. The National,
the only club in London which has
morning prayers, has just moved to
a new club house a long distance from

The National, which numbers

the first club to be commandeered.
