Cattle Prices-advanced sharply the first
half of the week and -n Wednesday cattle
sold higher than they aver sold before. Dur
ing the latter half of the week practically
all of the advance was lost on cattle aei line
around $1 1.26 and under, while the food to
choice heavy beeves selling- from 911.60 to
1!.40 showed an advance ranging from 16c
to 26c, as compared with a week ago.
In cows and helfen the demand has been
broad and as supplies have been of very
moderate proportions prices have ruled
strong from start to finish. She-stock Is
selling right around the high point of the
year and all grades are In vigorous request.
Business has been rather quiet In stock
rs and feeders, but In the main desirable
grades continue to sell freely at strong
prices. Medium and common kinds are
selling very little different from a week ago
and demand for that class of stock Is some
what uncertain.

proportion of the offerings that they have
Iwen getting all week, taking about a third
of the supply at price that were around
6010c above yesterday's packer trade. As
haa been the casa nearly all week, packers
did Dot get started until quite a bit of
shipper business had been done. They
mad early bid ataady to In spots easier,
but-stronger value war In force elsewhere,
local supplies were not burdensome, and
a shipper were furnishing a good bit of
competition, killer had to pay price that
were around to higher (or the bulk of their
hog.
Sine last Saturday the market has Im
proved 36 40c. Packer have been fighting
the advance every day, Jbut condition have
been bullish almost all week, and while
killer claim tha market I a good deal
higher than provision price warrant,
Thursday was the only day thy were able
to force any decline. That break w"

Sheep The first half of the week there
was stsady advance in lamb values. From
a light run Monday receipt swelled to
fairly liberal proportion by Wednesday, but
the outlet was. good, and prices moved up
in sympathy with upturn elsewhere, owing
to the fact that at least part of the offer
ings carried water soaked fleece last Fri
day, comparison with laat week are none
too eicuate, but It la afe to ay that up
to Wednesday's close value had Improved
10400, The weightier lamba, which are
not wanted any too badly, showed, If, any
thing, more upturn aa anything else or o
It appeared at least. Thursday the mar
ket, while very slow, waa fully steady, but
Friday, after paying steady prices for a few
handy westerns, packer got bearish orders,
and bought lamb a much as 16o lower
before the close. Even after Friday' de
cline, bulk of the lamb Is selling 16c to la
pot Ho or 40c higher than a week ago.
Best lights and handle retained all their
gains, It being the weightier kinds that got

much to hoist the value of wheat today.

Reports f.ora eleven leading states Indi
cated that abandonment of winter wheat
territory aggregated 4,116,000 acres, the
heaviest total ever known except once. This
showing with a fresh floor of damage re
ports from west of the Missouri river led
to ire buying that earned the market to
the topmost prices which the new crop de
liveries have attained this season. Pros
pects of Increased co-operation of the

help to the bullishness of the market.
There were rumors current that Argen
tina was about to declare an embargo on
the export of all grain.
Anticipation or a gooa-sisea raiting on in
th United States visible supply total on
Hoaaay waa onset to some extent by the
Influence of heavy reversals In the laat

Aggresaivs buytng made corn soar to new
high record prlcee for the season. Rumors
of an Argun t tne embargo and the continued
scarcity of domestic wheat crops were
prominent factor. Oata rose with corn and
wheat. A favorite theory was that oats
were relatively cheaper than other cereals.

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. -

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.
