and, iii fart, tho smallest run that has been
here In almost two wenlis, put In Ha ap
pearance this morning, arrivals counting out
eighty-sis cars, or about 7,000 head, Thla
Included twenty -five double decks direct to
a packer from another market. Six days'
receipts foot up 73,362 head, which la 14,000
larger than laat week, and a gain of more
than 1,00ft over two. weeks ago,' but la
smaller than .a year ago by about $,000
head.
The market was fafrly active at prlrea
that were bi a general thing nearly 10c
hlKher, trade contrasting sharply with previ
ous daya of the week. Hhlppera were prac
tically out of It, the only offers they made
being lower. Packers who late yesterday
cleaned ip almost everything at good firm
prices, after having bought a few hogs
lower around noon, seemed to have entirely
recovered from their uncertainty of the laat
few days, and bid about steady prices right
from the outaet.
' Sellers were asking higher figures as a
general thing, and while a few bunches
that sold early were unchanged, values were
a nickel to In spots lOo higher by the time
bulk of the offerings began to move. The
market Improved steadily as the day ad
vanced, and towsrda the close 10016c higher

Sheep Most of this week's lamb market
have been of the sort that simply couldn't
be described. Tolerably heavy runs Monday
and Tuesday caused price slumps. Monday's
market opening a dime lower and closing
F0 26o lower, a few loads fat line to sell.
Tuesdsy there was a. bad break tn prices,
hut part of It was due to wetness of
fleeces, and packers did not figure their buy
mors than looita to at the outside a quar
ter lower, while some looked nearly steady.
Wednesday there was a very light run here,
but demand was alack and sellers bad an
alt-day Job clearing the supply. On paper
values were better, but offerings ware not
so wet, and smalt declines ware Quoted In
actual eoats.
Opening rounds were stronger Thursday,
and best light and handy westerns and
Mexicans sold as much as 10o higher, but
the advance was lost later, last sales being
no more than eteady. This stunt was re
peated Friday, when early sales were made
1H0HO higher, and later business was done
at what looked like steady prices. Clear
ance was poor yesterday and a few lambs
were forwarded.

Early Price Changes In Wheat Market Are
Indecisive.
Chicago, III., March 17. Notwithstanding
that the railway labor crisis led to muoh
norvouaneha and Irregularity In the wheat
market today, prices In the late dealings
showed considerable strength owing largely
to assertions that the government was pre
paring measures to prevent cessation of
traffic even If the president's appeal to the
contending forces to get together failed.
The close was unsettled, ranging from lc
decline to lo advance, with May at $1.84
to $1.84 and July at $1.64 to $1.66.
Corn finished a off to c up, oats down
o to lir and provisions at gains of 7o
to $0o.
Uncertainty over the strike situation made
the wheat market average moderately lowar
during the first hour, but afterward the ad
vantage was mostly with the bulls. May
particularly displayed a tendency to harden,
whereaa the September delivery remained
comparatively weak throughout the seaalon.
Offerings of May wheat were notably scarce
and there was some good buying of this op
tion, with the demand coming to a great ex
tent from houses that often act for aea board
Interests. Other factors than the railway
strike received but Utile notice and mean
while freight embargoes already tn effect to
anticipate a walkout of employee had va de
cided Influence toward developments as to
the outcome of mediators' efforts at New
York.
Undoing of spreads caused May wheat to
loae part of Its advance as the market ap
proached an end. For the same reason July
regained all of an early losa. Selling of new
crop deliveries, eepeclally September, was
led by concerns Identified with the south
west. Corn and oats were almost devoid of fea
ture. Pit operators were inclined to be bear
ish, but were restrained by the comparative
firmness of wheat. Inability to got cars
switched kept shippers at a standstill,
' Scarcity of offerings gave an upward slant
to provisions. Aloofness of packers In the
hog market operated; however, aa a drag
on quotations In the late dealings.

Walnut Hill Wins Banner in the
Epworth League of Omaha
City Church Union.
PEARL MEMORIAL SECOND
The Epworth League union of the
city of Omaha held one of its quar
terly rallies in the Hanscom Fark
church Monday evening with 300
present. Miss Vida Hager,' president,
gave a short review of the year's
work, showing what the union had
accomplished in the last three years,
and especially this year.
Three years ago the union started
to support a mission in North Omaha
and this work has grown until they
are now a fully organized church
with over fifty members and every
department busy at work. They have
a site for a new church and are now
raising money to start construction,
having outgrown their present quar
ters. The union organized a choir
which took part in eighteen different
indoor and street meetings during the
dry campaign and contributed in vol
untary work at the dry campaign
headquarters 1,200 hours of free
work. The district institute was sup
ported mainly by the Omaha City
union.
The banner in the efficiency con
test, which has been conducted for
the last six months, was awarded to
the Walnut Hill chapter, that had
over 800 points, Pearl Memorial chap
ter running second with over 700
points. Walnut Hill has won the
banner four times.

Here's a Double Opportunity
for Investment
Two Valuable Metals Copper and Lead
TWO SEPARATE MINES
Two opportunities in every tock certificate a double chance to win.
BUT YOU MUST HURRY
I am offering for sale stock of the
IVANPAH LEAD & COPPER MINES CO.
Incorporated under the laws of Nevada and capitalised for $1,000,000.
Divided into Ten Million Shares at 10c per share par value, fully paid
and non-assessable. I offer for sale for a limited time a limited amount
at 3 CENTS A SHARE.
THE MINES
Located Near South Ivanpah, California.
The Lead Property consists of four claims, located eight miles
from South Ivanpah, Cal. There are good roads and plenty of water.
Last assay taken from the mine at a depth of 48 feet which was a
picked sample was 82.61 lead total value $165.20 per ton. The
vein at that depth is nearly four feet wide.
Tho Copper Property is located ten miles from same shipping
point, near the Bullion Mine, and consists of six claims, three show
ing outcropping of copper. Picked samples from this prbperty assays
from 14 to 42 copper.
I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to get in on the ground
floor in a mining company that shows every promise of a big future.
You know the value of lead and copper, and you know that the price
of these metals is bound to be high for many years to come.
I do not accept orders for less than 1000 shares, and I do not
advise the purchase of these shares unless you have the funds to spare
without touching your small savings. All mining is more or less of a
chance no man can tell what is under the ground until he goes after
it. But these mines look good to me and I believe that the vein will
become wider as it goes down, and engineers say that sufficient ore
should be taken out of the shaft to pay expenses of sinking.
These properties are so located that ores can be shipped instead
of building mills, and it is the intention of the Company to sink to
the 600 or 600-foot level and then block out and ship the ore. The
Company has had the property investigated by competent mining
engineers, who have reported that in their estimate the lead property
when developed, will be as good as the Yellow Pine, which is only a
few miles distant over the line in Nevada, and which shipped ore
and paid nearly $1,000,000 in dividends in 1916.
Copper properties, as we all, know, are very treacherous, but the
Company thinks their copper property will prove out well as it adjoins
the well known Bullion Mine. Reports from several engineers, however,
indicate that the lead property is far superior to the copper holdings
of the Company. There is no incumbrance) of any kind on either prop
erty. I strongly recommend the purchase of this stock.
I solicit the business of those intending to make their future
homes in California.
Also exchanges of eastern properties for California properties.
Also eastern money for California loans.
Will furnish appraisement on properties free of charge.
I make a specialty of looking after California property for non
residents. Also collections and handling of estates.
When in Los Angeles make my office your headquarters.
