Cattle As usual on Saturday then was
nothing of any consequence In the way of
beef on the market and price were nomi
nally unchanged. For the six days the sup
ply ot cattle has been approximately 32,260
head, or practically the same as for the
week previous, and some 2,600 more than the
corresponding week a year ago Bad weather
and congested railroad conditions have been
responsible for a very unsatisfactory trade
during the greater part of th week. There
was some demand early for choice heavy
cattle and a too of 113.10 was registered. At
no time, however, was there any particular
demand for the common to fair light and
medium weight steer and trend of values on
these was lower from start to finish. Strictly
choice beeves are quntably a little stronger
than at the close of laat week, while the
general run of cattle show declines ranging
from 16c to 60c, and th sam I true as
to cows and heifers. ' Blockers and feeders
have not shown much change, as supplies
have been limited and the demand slightly
broader than last wsek. Light stockera, both
steers and cows, ar still selling at very
mean prices.

lings There was a fairly liberal run of
hoe-a her for a Saturday. Trad opened
with, packers buying their hogs 16 cents
lower, and in some case lb cents lower
than yesterday. A llttl later in th fore
noon, however, trade aasumed a better
aspect, and at the close was If anything
fully steady. Choir butchers crossed the
scale ,.t $16.00, 6 cents under the best
price paid yesterday, while th bulk ot tne
offerings moved at $16.6615.0. Trade was
fairly active and a good clearance was
made toward mldforenoon. Trad rules
around 25 tentj lower for th week.
Sheep About five cars ot sheep and
lambs showed up this morning. There was
nothing dot e of consequence, a few of the
heavier lamb selling at $11.16. For the
week trade In this division has shown con
siderable : prove nent although weighty
lambs have been uncertain sellers at steady
to lower figures. Light weight stuff and
a good share of th medium grades have
found an active demand at prices generally
25 rents higher than a week ago. Choice
Mexican fed lamb have sold up to 117.10
17.16, 15SGo under a week ago. Shipping
demand has been strong, and anything that
will fill th bill ha gone at relatively
higher values than stuff to local packers.
Sheep have been very acarc and poor In
quality, with value about 25 cents higher
at the close. Receipts of feeder have been
nominal. Th demand 1 good, with light
weight 1 mbs quotabl up to $17.00.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Liberal Receipts in Evidence
for a Saturday; Cash Corn
Steady to Lower; Oats
Show Strength.
1 Omaha, Jan. 2G, 1918.
Continued liberal arrivals were In evl
: dence this monlng, a total of 284 cars be
I irig reported, of which 18 were of wheat, 215
; of corn, 43 of oats, and 4 cars each of rye
and barley. '
I All the coarse grains with the exception
! of corn were unusually strong. Cash corn
was unchanged to around 3c lower, the bulk
of it selling off. There was a continued
brisk demand for thfs cereal, however, but
buyers refused to meet the prices asked.
The Nebraska State Railway commission
announced that its recent preferential
; include corn containing 19 per cent or more
moisture. This order becomes effective
i January 28 and extends to March 2, and
specifies that 80 per cent of the cars ap
portioned regular shippers at points other
than Omaha and Lincoln be loaded with
corn containing 19 per cent or more mois
ture. No. 3 white sold today at $1.62 and No.
! 4 white at $1.54 and $1.61. and the No. 6
! white at $1.46 and $1.61. No. 3 yellow sold
; at $1.61 and No. 4 yellow at $1.63 and $1.58.
while the No. 5 yellow brought $1.41 and
$1.46. No. 3 mixed sold at $1.58 and $1.60
and the 4 mixed at $1.48 and $1.60. No.
5 mixed ranged from $1.40 to $1.46.
Considerable of the oats sold of lat
have gone to the government, from whom
there Is a constant inquiry, especially of
late and who are strong bidders for this
cereal. Spot quotations today wer lie to
1c over those of yesterday, with fairly good
local demand. Another new high record
was set, the No. 1 whit selling at 84c No.
I white sold at 8314c and 84c and the sam
ple grade at 83a and 8314c
Rye was strong, making an unusual ad
vance of about 6c. Much of this cereal has
been bought recently by millers who have
paid big prices, the supply not meeting their
demands. The No. 2 grade sold today at
$2.05.
Barley followed ry and brought a 2o
premium over yesterday's 'sales, local buy
ers absorbing these offerings readily. No.
1 barley sold at $1.60 and No. 2 barley at
$1.47, while the feed and sample grades
sold at $1.46 and $1.40, respectively.

Coffee Market.
New York, Jan. 26. There was enough
realizing to causa some Irregularity In the
market for coffee futures at the opening
today, but Interest still seemed to be broad
ening, and there were advances later which
established new high records for the sea
son. Unfavorable comment on the Von
Mertllng speech, evidently failed to modify
the peace views prevallng around the ring,
and the buying was again attributed largely
to a hope that the war would be over be
fore the end of another season. First prices
were 7 points lower to 3 points higher with
late months relatively steady, and the ac
tive months sold about 7 to 11 points above
last night's closing figures later In the
morning. May rallied from 8.97c to 9.08c
and September from 9.37o to 9.50c. The
close was within a point or two of the best
at a net advance of 6 to 10 points. Clos
ing bids: January, 8.60c; March, 1.84c;
May, 9.07c; July 9.30c; September 9.49c;
October 9.66c; December 9.68c.
Spot coffee was quiet but firmly held at
9o for Rio 7's and llo for Santos 4's. It Is
reported that sales have been made In the
trade of coffee afloat at prices on the
basis of March futures and below the May
basis. Santos 4's were reported offered In
the cost and freight market at 10.30c, Lon
don credits.
Owing to the holiday there were no of
ficial quotations from Santos. The Rio

OVERCROWDING
IN CAMPS CAUSE
OF MUCH DISEASE
Surgeon General Gorgas Reit
erates Epidemic Charge, But .
Agrees Training Had to
Be Rushed.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan. 26. From Sur
geon General Gorgas the senate mili
tary committee today sought light
upon health and sanitary conditions
in the army, resuming its investiga
tion suspended a few days ago to
present the reorganization legislation
about which' centers the committee
row with the administration.
General Gorgas reiterated state
ments made in his official reports to
the department after a tour of inspec
tion that the crowding of men in the
cantonments and camps not ready to
receive them was largely responsible
for the epidemics of disease which
have raged at some of the posts. He
agreed with other officers who have
preceded him on the stand, however,
as to the necessity for hurried train
ing. "Wouldn't it have been better to
have waited until the cantonments
were ready?" asked Senator Freling
huysen. ...
"From a physical standpoint,' yes,
the general replied, "but I think the k
training of these men should not have
been delayed."
Hold Up Hospitals.
Hospital construction was stopped
last summer that barracks might be
erected faster, he explained, and no
camp hospital is complete now,
though sanitation conditions are im
proving as shown by recent mortal
ity reports. General Gorgas empha
sized the need for observation camps, "
the establishment of which is being
considered. He did not consider
clothing shortages as an important
factor in the pneumonia epidemic, ex
plaining that control or avoidance of
the germ was the principal point to
be considered. f
General Gorgas said that with the
exception of Camp Funston, Kansas,
all camps were admirably located
from a sanitation standpoint.
Fail to Get Ships.
Senator Wadsworth suggested that
lack of central power could be held
largely responsible for overcrowding
and inadequate clothing supplies. He
said he had been informed that the
War department expected to send the
national guard to France beiore win
ter, but had not co-operated with the
shipping board to the extent of
requisitioning tonnage to send it
across.
Questioned about hospital ships.
General Gorgas said the question had
been taken up by him seven or eight
months ago and that he was expect
ing a decision every day. He had
been told it was decided that the navy
should control these ships. It will
take from two to three months, he
said, to refit a transport so that it
could be used for a hospital ship.
