tlrnt hogs were mostly steady, though they
ailed, some of their purchases a nickel
ower. They took between a fourth and a

Review will any:
Neither aViiilniate business nor speculative
markets have been disturbed by the recent
significant evenls In the foreign situation.
In producing and distributing channela, as in
banking circles, caution continues general
and many Interests are still waiting, but
there Is no lack of the confidence whloh Is
essential to the economic welfare of the
nation. That activity has abated In some
branches In snd aout all aectlone Is not sur
prising In view of the unexampled rise In
prices and limits to which the buying move
ment was previously carried,' and nearly
everywhere commitments for the far future
are undertaken with prudence, With more
open weather less is heard of delays In
transportation and the adjustment of the
railway labor controversy has removed an
unsettling and retarding element.' iilfiir ulty
In obtaining raw materials has not been
eliminated, however, and manufacturing
operations remain hindered with the short
age of skilled hands, an added drawback.

Dullish Crop Reports Prom Nebraska Sends
Wheat I'pward,
Chicago, III., March 33. Sham advances
In the value of wheat today resulted largely
from reports of sever crop damage In Ne
braska and Kansas. The market closed
strong, 10 to 44c net hig'ier. with Mky
at 21.90 to $1.90 and July at 11.60
to fl.40. Corn .finished 3o to So up
and oats gained 14a to lo. In provi
sions the outcome varied from the same as
yesterday' wlndup to 16o higher.
Although further destruction of American
shipping and- lives were responsible for con
siderable oc the strength that developed In
the wheat market, the upturns In prices
came chiefly after traders had been alven
attention to the crop damage advices which
nooded in from many different sources. In
dication! pointed to a decided lowering of
.condition In the winter belt aa a whole, but
especially throughout important sections of
Nebraska and Kansas, where big tosses by
winter killing were said to be evident. Ac
cording to one authority, 35 to It per cent
of the wheat was dead In Reno and Paw
nee counties, two of the Isrgest wheat
countlea In Kansas. Some places In north
ern Kansas went even further and said all
of the autumn sown wheat was lifeless.
Notably broadening out of the volume of
trad In wheat took place aa the session
continued and some of the heaviest of
speculative short were forced to cover In
the last hour.
Country buying orders In particular In
creased and were alone more than offset by
the bearish Influence of rains that had
fallen aver part of the winter wheat re-
glon. At the top price of the day. May
delivery was wllhln to of the highest level
rearnea mis season.
Corn as well aa wheat ehnwed unusual
activity and ascended to a new high price
record for the 1010 crop. It wai contended
that receipts her were likely to remain
small and that orders given lu railroads to
move corn from Illinois elevators would re
sult In a large amount of export hold In gn
being started far Ms II (mere and New Or
leans., uata ranged upward in sympathy
with other cereals, Illinois point reported
l keen demand from the south.
Influential buying of lard helped to give
firmness to the entire provision list. The
rise In corn values also waa bullish fac

sive feature of today's market a buoyant
movement In rails 4id not develop until
tho final hour. The rise in, that group,
which ran from 2 to 4 points In leading Is
sues, was concurrent with the receipt of
advices that the Interstate Commerce com
mission had been petitioned by the rail
roads for a general advance of 10 to 16
per cont to meet Increased operating ex
penses under the Adamson law.
Strongest of tho railway list were Union

gain of 3 to 63. Oils, papers, sugars, Cen
tral Leather, Industrial Alcohol and Amer
ican Woolen kept moderate pace with the

tured ey an advance or 8 to 73 In

Two Drinkers-o'-the-Dawn
Pinched for Their Haste
When Officers Chapman and Sulli
van dropped in on Pete Nelson at 5
o'clock Friday morning that worthy
man, who is the convivial alchemist
at Emil Tolbald's saloon at .Ninth
and Pacific streets, set two glasses of
foaming amber liquid before the po
licemen. Not only did the limbs of
the law scorn the beer, but they an
nounced to Peter and two other per
sons within the sanctum that the
place was "pinched."
"Keeping a disorderly house" is the
charge against Nelson and the two
drinkers-o'-the-dawn, who were en
couraging him to rule the flow of
beer so early in the morning, were
charged with being inmates. The
case was continued until Tuesday for
a hearing.
