CORN IS FAIRLY ACTIVE
Omaha, April 17, 1011.
The local trade In wheet waa extremely
quiet today on account of the heavy de
cline In wheat futures snd also because of
the light receipts of this cerceal.
The dome nd, however, for wheal would
probably have taken care of the offering,
but, aa le usually Ihe case when there Is
a heavy drop In values, the sellers refused
to Bell on the decline and moat of the sam
ples were carried over.
The corn market wee fairly active and
while the recelple of this cerrsl wsre also
very light, the demand was good and the
sellers let go quite reedlly, although this
market waa aleo quoted somewhat lower.
While corn was In good demand at premium
prices, end a few. sales of this variety jgere
made around yesterday's pest price, but
the bulk of the oRerlngs sold a fraction
lower. ,
yellow and mixed corn sold generally at
a decline, the better grades of yellow being
quoted at 11.44 to 11.44, while tha com
mercial grades of mixed ranged la price
from 11.43 to tl.elv..
The demend for oate waa pretty active
and there waa a good trado In this cereal,
with prices quoted from' He to lo lower.

count of light receipts, rye being quoted
nominally lo lower, whfle barley was quoted
steady.

Business Man Notes Big
x Boom Stimulates Omaha
F. S.- Knapp, prciident of the
Omaha Box company, was greatly
impressed with Omaha anil its pros
perity when he returned from New
Orleans, where he has been for a
week inspecting lumber mills. "I
noticed," he said, "that the two big
daily papers in New Orleans carried
two or more columns of 'Situations
Wanted' all the lime, while here oilr
papers carry two or more columns
of 'Help Wanted' all the time. There
is just the difference between the ac
tivity of the two cities."
Live Stock Prices Drop
When Cattlemen Unload
A tendency to unload with accom
panying depression in prices of all
classes of stock on foot was noted
at the Omaha live stock market this
morning.
Approximately 35,000 head of stock
was received and prices in hogs and
.sheep divisions shot down steadily
from 10 to 15 cents. At noon sheep
had barely begun to sell, but predic
tions were that there would be a
consistent lowering here. also.
