Cattle Receipt wera of liberal p.-opor.
(Ions for a Thursday and made up largely
ef beef. In most respects the trade was a
repetition of Wednesday's market In thdt
buyers started out ratbor slow, but later
demonstrated that demand was broad, and
for tha most part the offerings changed
hands at right around steady figures. On
papsr values may look ft little lower, but
taking tha antra fill Into consideration,
values wora just about as good as on Wed
nesday. Compared with ft week ego, the
best heavy cattle selling up around 112.789
13.18 are not over lOOlto higher, while the
advance on the yearlings and medium
weight steers has bes 180260.
Cows and belfers war. alio rather slow
sla today, although at prices that were
quotably steady and Dot far from tbs blgh
point of tha year.
In Blockers and feeders there w-l not
snucn doing. Fresh rscelpts wers meager
and the press of farm work has so grestly
reduced the country demand that business
was of very small volume and prices showed
a lower tendency on all .but the best grsdes.

The trade in corn was somewnac slower
today, although the market was strong at
an advance of l'o to 2, and receipts
were fairly heavy. Tne demana ror corn,

Additional report that the entente allies
would be required to cease or at least abate
to a large degree their vast wheat buying

keep ths market depressed. On the other

Announcement of a renewed embargo on
wheat by Argentina seemed to count a little
In helping prices to recover somewhat Crop
conditions, however, were decidedly In favor
of the boars. Besides, the arbitrary curtail
ment of trading privileges was still a notable
depressing factor and operated to keep the
total amount of buetneu within limits that
ordinarily would not occupy the pit a good
quarter or an nour.
Corn and oats, although much more active
than wheat governed mainly by their neces
sary relation to that cereal end by favor-

purchases of oate, estimated at 1,600.000

Increased Potato Production
Topic for Conservation Talk
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln. Neb.. Mav 17. (Special.)
Increased production of potatoes
and beans, in order to make every
acre of Nebraska land produce to its
capacity, will be one of the important
topics for discussion at the State Food
conservation conierence in umana
next week. The western part of the
state, especially wilt be considered in
this regard, as hundreds of thousands
of acres of fertile lands there have
never been planted to any kind of
crop.
A committee to collect statistics on
potato and bean yields in different
parts oi tne state, and report at tne
Omaha conference, has been appoint
ed, to work at the expense of them
selves. Lloyd C. Thomas of Alliance
is chairman, and John E. Jacobsen
of Lexington has been made his as
sistant. They will report especially
upon the condition of the non-irrigated
lands of the northwest.

Market Supplements for Most
Fart Its Gains of Previous
Session by Dealings of
Over Million.
New Tork, May 17. On transactions
slightly In excess of 1,000,000 shares, today's
market supplemented for the most part
Its gains of the previous session. Renewal of
some of the uncertainties In the foreign
situation and further Indications of the as
sured success of the government's bond of
fering constituted the chief moving factors.
Speculative interest with a sprinkling of
public Inquiry aentered largely around steel
and Iron Industries, especially those Issues
related to the equipment and munition
groups. United States Steel's high quotation
of the day, 122, represented a new record
for the year. Part ot this gain waa can
celled In the more Insistent selling for
profits of the last hour.
Foremost among the other strong Indus
trials and specialties were Lackawanna, Su
perlor and Gulf States Steels at gross ad
vances of 3 to 6 points. New Tork Airbrake
added 6 polnta to yesterday's substantial
rise at 148, Harvester Corporation, Westing
house nd Colorado Fuel were higher by 2
to 8 point at beet quotations, but fell
back with the general list.
' Copper wero apathetic until the final
hour, when they came Into brisk action on
reports of the consummation of a large gov
ernment contract Shippings were among
the most prominent shares, their strength
probably resulting from the arrival of an
American naval force in British, waters.
Ralls failed to recover more than mod
erate advance, though more active than
recently. Advices from middle western and
northwestern points which reported prom
ising crop conditions, accounted for the bet
ter tendency shown by grangers.
Heaviness which at times verged ' upon
weakness was denoted by the motors, sugars
and minor rails. Lake Erie A Western pre
ferred lost 6 points at 30, and Cuban
American Sugar S at 190.
Russian exchange reacted moderately from
yesterday's recovery, a similar trend being
shown by the bonds of that country. The
genoral bond market was Irregular on light
er offering. Total sales, par value, 2,870,
000. United States government Issues were
unchanged on call.

Tubercular Cattle Found
In Insane Asylum Herd
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., May IT. (Special.)
Sixteen tubercular cattle out of a
herd of fifty-five have been suppyling
milk for the patients of the state hos
pital for the insane at Lincoln, and
three more cattle are under suspicion
as having tuberculosis, according to
tests made by the state veterinarian.
The Board of Control ordered the ex
amination, not suspecting almost one
third of the cattle were affected.
- Unsanitary and poorly equipped
dairy buildings at the hospital, mak
ing proper sanitation and ventilation
impossible, are thought to be largely
responsible for the spread of the
disease.
Several years ago 50 per cent of
the dairy cows at the state tubercu
losis hospital at Kearney were found
suffering from the disease. The milk
had been fed to patients at the in
stitution. -
Lincoln Traction Affairs
Before Rail Board
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., May 17. (Special.)
Lincoln citizens have filed with the
State Railway commission complaint
of the service of the Lincoln Traction
company, declaring that the latter is
conducting its affairs in a high-handed
and ruthless manner, so that "mur
der has been committed, the peace
and quietude of the community have
bien disturbed and assaults have been
made."
The complaint will be part of the
record of the hearing of the commis
sion of the demand by striking em
ployes for a return to serve. The
company says that the state body has
no power to interefer in its affairs,
asserting that the attempted supervis
ion is unconstitutional.
