ALL GASH GRAIN RECORDSSMASHED Wheat Goes to Two Dollars, While Corn Bits Dollar Sixteen. OATS HIGHEST IN YEAES All previous records for high prices on cash grain were smashed when wheat went to $2, corn to $1.16 and oats to 63 cents per bushel. Once before wheat touched $2, but that was spring wheat, which always commands a premium of 2 to 2 cents over winter. Not only one, but five, carloads of winter wheat sold at $2 per bushel today. What was more, of ferings of grade stuff, seventy-nine carloads in all, sold under $1.99 per bushel, which was the previous high mark. There was no excitement as the market moved upward and hejd its gains. The advance was looked upon just as an incident in connection with the supply and demand and now in stead of $2 wheat $2.25 is the price predicted inside of thirty days, with -perhaps $2.50 before the next crop is reaay ror ine marKcu. Buyers m Majority. The advance today was 2 to 3 cents per bushel and even at the high prices the buyers were far more numerous than the sellers. , Corn started in strong and before tne end of the session the former high price was the low of the day, nothing selling under $1.14, with the top at $1.16 per bushel. The re ceipts were eighty-nine carloads and even with the short Saturday session the tables were cleared, feeders and millers taking practically all the of ferings. The advance was 11 cents per bushel. There was just as strong a demand for oats as for the other kinds of grain and prices soared to 6263 cents, a gain of one-half to a cent per bushel. Sixty-three cents was a new top and said to have been the highest cash price paid for oats on any grain market in sixty years. Re ceipts were forty-two carloads. Widows Want to Buy On the Co-Operative Plan Foodstuffs in large quanties, prob ably at wholesale prices, are to be ob tained by the Society of American Widow,, of which Bessie C. Turpin of Omaha is president. A meeting of the society was held at the home of Mrs. Turpin Friday night and tenta tive arrangements were made to buy large quantities of foodstuffs on a co operative plan for the 150 local mem bers to divide amtSng themselves. "While the widows and orphans in Europe are beintr kindlv remem bered," said Mrs. Turpin, "our own widows are told to appeal to the county for aid." Plans are still under way for the raising of a fund to build an apart ment nouse wnere tne widows and their children can live more cheaply than they are able to live at present by paying rents as charged in various places... Mrs. Turpin was re-elected presi dent, Mrs. Emily Dickson was made vice president and Mrs. Stella Rose was chosen secretary-treasurer. Canning Industry Short One Billion Tin Cans Washington, March 24. A short age of approximately one billion tin cans confronts the canning industries of the country, according to estimates made today by canning interests and Department of Commerce officials. Principal railroads have notified the Department of Commerce that embargoes placed on plate, steel and block tin had been lifted and that everything possible is being done to expedite their shipment. A commit tee of six government officials and representatives of plate and canning interests has undertaken to make an inventory of the canntrs' require ments. Should the necessary number of tin cans be forthcoming from man ufacturers, it is said the price --of canned goods probably will remain at the present level, which is an in crease over last year's prices of about 25 per cent. In one industry alone, the canning of gray fish, the shortage is said to approximate 500,000 cans.

Jackson Street Ordered Opened Near the Market The north side of Jackson street at the public market is to be kept open in the future so that grocers who drive down there to buy produce may drive in and out to get their loads. In the past produce gardeners and peddlers have been allowed to buy stalls all over these streets so that they blocked the streets in such shape that grocers could not get near with their wagons, and, in fact, had to carry their produce many , blocks after they had purchased it in order to get it to their wagons. The Omaha Grocers' association appoint ed a committee, which, together with a committee of the Commercial club, got the required relief from the city council. - Moderate Temperatures First Half of Week Washington, March 24, Predic tions for the week beginning Sunday, issued by the weather bureau today, are: Plains states and upper middle Mis. sissippi valley: Generally fair and moderate temperatures until Wednes day or Thursday, when weather will become unsettled, with probably local rains, and be followed by much colder weather.

Loomis, Edson Rich and other company lawyers nave tneir othces, Here's a Double Opportunity for Investment Two Valuable Metals Copper and Lead TWO SEPARATE MINES Two opportunities m .vnr stock certificate a douhl. chance to win. BUT YOU MUST HURRY! I am offering for sale stock of the IVANPAH LEAD & COPPER MINES COMPANY Incorporated Jnder the laws of Nevada and capitalized for $1,000,000. Divided into Ten Million Shares at 10c per share par value, fully paid and non-assessable. I offer for sal for a limited time a limited amount at 3 CENTS A SHARE. I THE MINES Located Near South Ivanpah, California Th. 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 $166.20 per ton. The vein at that depth is nearly four feet wide. Th. Copper Property is located ten miles from the same shipping point, near the Bullion Mine, and consists of six claims, three showing outcropping of copper. Picked sarhples from this property 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 1,000 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 tthe vein will become wider as it goes down, and engineers say that sufficient ore should be taken out of the shaft to pay expense of sinking. These properties are so located that ores can be shipped instead of building mills, and jt 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 engi-. neers, who have reported that in their estimation 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 cooper property will prove out well, as it ad joins 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 i. no .ncumbranc. of any kind on .ith.r property. I strongly recommend th. purchase of this stock. I solicit the business of theso intending to make their future homes in California. . Also exchanges of eastern properties for California properties. Alsoeastern 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. ALBERT L. IRISH Investment Broker 819-821 Story Bldg.
