With Wheat Prices Lower Than Those Prevailing on Monday. Omaha, May 29, 1917. Today's trade In cash grains was duller than It has been for some time and while the receipts of all grains were extremely light the demand waa vary alow and there was hardly enough stuff sold to give a definite Idea of the range of prices al though the whole list, with the exception of oats, was substantially lower. A few cars of No. 2 hard wheat were sold at a late hour and brought from $3.70 to $2.72, giving an approximate range of 104c lower on this grade of wheat while one eale of No. 4 hard was made at 92-65, but this stuff was very poor la quality and the ordinary samples of this grade would prob ably be worth considerably more than this price. The corn market generally was quoted about lo under yesterdsy's market and the bulk of the offerings sold on the decline. Atmoit all of the sales of the better grades of corn were made at $1. 6101.61ft, but Quality considered, the yellow sold at a small premium over the white and mixed, tome of tire No. S yellow aellfng at 11. 61ft. while the No. I grade or wnito ana mixeo corn sold from $1.6101-61. Gala sold fairly readily at practically unchanged prices, hut one sale of No. $ white was made 4)1 1 a one-fourth cent ad vance. This car, however, waa better than the ordinary run of stuff. Rye and barley were quiet, with light offering!, and these markets were quoted nominally unchanged. Clearances were: wneat ana riour equal to 226,000 bushels; oats, 267.OO0 bushels.

Financial efforts by the short Interests to depress prices in to day's Irregular market met with Indifferent success, the list rising briskly In the last hour, and wiping out many early declines of 1 to I points. Selling of long stock by traders who chose to close out their contracts over the holiday was an additional factor In the unsettlement of the forenoon, together with an abate ment of public Interest.

BUTTER HIGH FOR THIS TIE OF YEAR Creamery Men Zzpect Prices to Drop Somewhat in a Short Time, Says Kirschbaum. In Omaha No. 1 creamery butter is selling at 41 cents a pound, wholesale. This is the highest price ever attained at this season of the year. Even at this price, the same grade of butter is 2 cents cheaper than in Chicago. The boost in butter prices is going to be short lived, in the opinion of the Kirschbaum creamery. Prices are going to drop off within a few days, according to Mr. Kirschbaum. Speaking of present conditions, he said: "While it is not likely to go down to the prices of several years ago, there will be a decline in a short time. The high prices now are due to the demand being in excess of the supply. Butter is a commodity the price of which is regulated almost entirely by the supply and the demand. Spring Backward. "The spring has been cold and backward and the pasturage is much later than usual. As a result, cows are not giving the normal quantity of milk for this season of the year, and consequently farmers are not getting the normal quantity of cream. As soon a- this quantity reaches normal, then the cream will commence to ar rive at the creameries. The butter stocks will increase and prices are cer tain to decline. , "We don't look for any low prices during the coming summer, nor do we anticipate that prices are going to be abnormally high. The number of cows in the country is probably the same as last year, and with a favor able season, the supply of butter should be about normal. "There is nothing to indicate a heavy export demand, owing to the war. This will cut down foreign sales, but ut home they are going to eat butter in about the same quantities as during past summers."

The suit of Kirschbraun & Sons, Inc., Omaha butter makers, against Ross L. Hammond, formerly United States collector of internal revenue at Omaha, is on trial in federal court be fore Federal Judge T. C. Munger pf Lincoln. The plaintiff is seeking to have re funded $687 which the United States commissioner of internal revenue compelled it to pay. October 25, 1911, on the ground that it was manufactur ing adulterated butter. The reason for the government's claim was that eight boxes of butter, containing 240 pounds, and a tub of butter containing sixty pounds were taken from the plaintiffs establish ment, analyzed and found to consist of butter containing more than the legal 16 per cent of water. The plaintiff paid the government tax under protest. While the gov ernment test of the samples of butter taken indicated that they contained more than 16 pet cent of water, the city test showei that they contained only 15.37 per cent of water and the state test showed the presence of 14.67 per cent ot water. "The law savs that butter shall con tain a 'not excessive' amount of mois ture," said Warren Swiu!er, one of the plaintiff's attorneys. "The gov ernment has tried to hx the maximum amount at 16 oer cent. Prof. J. Bouska, head chemist for the American Association of Butter Manufacturers, was the expert wit- ress and was on tne stand all morn ing. He gave the jury an exhaustive lecture on the art and science of butter-making, some of his answers to questions consuming hve minutes.
