Cuttle Receipts were fair sized for
Wednesday and with the tendency lower
elsewhere packers were out to buy cattle
at wesker prices If they could. As was the
case on former days of the week, the heavy
steers were hardest to get action on. In
the end beeves sold pretty close to steady
as a general thing. But trade was very slow
and undertone, weak. Cows and heifers
were about steady, movement being hardly
as active us yesterday. There was a little

Omaha grain receipts were heavy,

Early sales indicated that corn was
unchanged to a bit lower, the sales
up to nooii having been made at $1.44
(a 1-65 a bushel.
Oats were cent off to '4 up, with
the bulk of the sales unchanged and

more breadth to the stocker and feednr
supply, but the demand was good, and of
ferings sold readily at strong to a little
higher prices.
For the week beef steers range anywhere
from nearly steady to 25c or more lower, the
greatest declines having been on good heivv
cattle. Butcher stock is still a little hitth.r
than last week, around 10 o 15c In most
cases, whilo stoekers and feeders are any

Hogs There was a fairly liberal run of
nogs today. The market was entremelv
slow. Shippers were only light buyers and
packers were bent on forcing declines. Up
to a late hour only a few hogs had changed
hands, and these went at prices that looked
all the way from 16 to 20o lower than
yesterday. The best price paid was $16.66,
while the hulk moved at $16.86 10.40.
Sheep Only a small run of sheep and
lambs arrived this morning. Sellers were
asking higher prices ail around, buyers
rerustng to take on anything at better than
steady prices. The deadlock was unbroken
at 10:30, hardly anything being sold at that
time. A couple of bunches of light lambs
Drought $16.36. The undertone was fairly
good with prospects for steady prices at
least, and possible advance over yesterday
There was a fairly good demand for feed
ers, little or nothing showing up. Bidding
was nominally steady.

Renewal of Peace Gossip offsets Hlight Gains
in torn.
Chicago. Jan. 2. Renewal of peace gossip
more than offset In the corn market this
afternoon some slight gains which had been
scored during the first part of the session.
Prices closed weak, at the same as yester
day's finish to 4c lower, aJnuary $1.2684,
and May $1,244 to tl.!4S5rl.24. The out
come In oats was unchanged to io down.
There were declines of 20c to 70o in provi
sions. Until peace talk gave the bears an ad
vantage, corn averaged higher, chiefly as a
result of ab ulge, which liberal export buy
ing brought about In the oats market. At
first, however, corn had a downward slant
due to warmer weather that pointed to an
Increase of arrivals. Aside from the effect
of the strength of oats, therefore, the corn
market was in a condition to reapand readily
to selling, which after midday was based
principally on London reports giving Munich
authority for assertions that within the
next 10 days the central powers would make
a new declaration regarding peace.
Export purchasing of oats aggregated
about 700.000 bushels. It was said, though,
that the seaboard demand had now been
filled for the time being.
Holders of provisions realized. The out
look was for a bearish showing In warehouse
stocks.

Government Control of
Railroads
New Tork, Jan. I. A spirit of rhrrtilnrss
pervaded tha financial district on the flrsl
business day of the new year, many stocks
recording gains of S to 7 points.
The further Improvement was accepted as
a crystallisation of thn greater confidence
resulting from the government's action re
spooling railroad control, although that
group was strikingly backward In today's
movement.

active final hour, the rise coming on the
heels of the announcement that the Depart
ment of Justice had recommended postpone
ment of further action In certain of the anti
trust cases,
Unofficial advices of a further breach In
negotlstlons between tha Russian delegate.
an.1 the ceutral powers wera overshadowed
by the report of the American war mission
which Indicated the determined attitude of
the administration.
Industrials, more especially speolflo war
Issues and equipments, featured the com
prehensive trading. The rise halted at In
torvals. but gathered fresh strength on re
newed absorption.
Tho ease with which specialties moved
forward bespoke further punishment of the
bears, resumption on a large scale of rool
activity and no little revival of public In
terest. United Slatea Bteel asserted Its leadership
from the start, making a gross gain of 4 "4
points to 86. retaining all but a slight
fraction. Othor steels, shippings and motors
were the strong features of tho close. Sales

Jams Want
Cars of Coal Are Rushed
East to Relieve Plight
Washington, Jan. 2. Hundreds of
coal cars, released from yards where
they have been stalled behind .ship
ments of higher preferential ratings,
were moving over eastern roads today
to relieve the acute coal shortage in
the northeast.
All existing priority orders were
suspended .by Robert S. Lovett, prior
ity director of the war industries
board, on recommendation of the di
rector general, with the expectation
a freer movement of nil freight as
well as coal till result. The director
general also broke a railroad preced
dent by ordering the Pennsylvania
railroad tunnel under the Hudson
river, heretofore restricted to pas
senger traffic, to - -id to move coal
trams into New York.
Railroads Will Cut Out Most
Of Advertising During War
In the elimination of expense rail
road men are anticipating that a good
deal of the advertising is to be cut
out while the government is in con
trol of the lines. They say this must
be the logical result, since the pool
ing plan has been completed and put
in operation. Rock Island offices in
Omaha have received instructions that
until further notice no advertising will
be placed. Officers of the other lines

OF HIS CHURCH
Among the most patriotic people
in Omaha are members of Hillside
Congregational church. Their pastor,
the Rev. W. S. Hampton, is no less a
patriot, and it is mainly through his
zealous work and endeavor that the
parish has come to be known as one
whose ideal is pure Americanism.
On the honor roll in the church's
small weekly pamphlet, edited by the
youthful members 0 the congrega-
tlitn antiwar the names of 12 VOlintT
! men who have left the shelter of the
I gray weather-bcaien little church to
I serve their country. A few of them
1 were drafted, most of them volun
teered. Of them all not one went
j away heavy-hearied. Rev. Mr. Hamp
I ton, himself a veteran of the civil
w ar, i very proud of them, indeed.
Brave Best Family.
The story of the Best family, 3309
Ohio street, is perhaps the bravest
i ili;it ihr L-inrllv minister relates. At
the beginning of the war Mr Best,
an English reservist, was called away
from his wife and two daughters to
report for service in England. He
was sent directly to the front in
France, where, during all the month!
of the war, he has faithfully served hi
king. And now Mrs. Best, who hai
.i fuittiiiillv "krnt the? home fire
I burning," is happy that the may
I know her husband as Lieutenant Best
1 when he returns.
Mrs. Best, with the aid of Helen,
17, has managed to keep the finance
of the household at a neat amount
l .uxurine, 10 years old, attends school
They arc all members of the Hillside
Congregational church.
In addition t) the patriotic work
already completed by the parish it
has given its "bit'' to the sufferers
in Armenia and Serbia. And since
most of the church members are
working people the realization of their
sacrifices is an incentive to greater
work.
American People Ate More
Beef in 1917 Than In 1916
American people ate 10 pounds of
beef apiece more in 1917 than they
did in 1916. This fact is revealed by
government tables now available, in
spite of the great campaign that has
been made to save meat.
The average American consumed
more than 65 pounds of beef during
the 12 months just closed. The food
administration is anxious to reduce
this per capita consumption of beef.
The food administration believe that
this reduction can now be accom
plished in the present year since the
nieatless days are welt established.
The figures show that America ex
ported to Europe 33,000,000 pounds
less of beef during 1917 than in 1916
The food administration is anxious to
reduce home consumption of beef and
increase the export of that product to
Europe.
