Trsde was very slow in operating, and right from the start both packers and shipping buyers were bidding around 10gjil5c lower than Wednesday. The same wa true as to cows and heifers. Transportation conges tion made it difficult to move either live stock or frush meat, and the result was all classes of buyers Insisted on sharply lower prices, where they would bid at all. The decllnf on killing stock so far this week has been fuliy 60c. and compared with the best time a week ago both fat cattle and butcher stock are selling tOfp 76c lower Supplies of stock cattle and feeding steers have been comparatively lim ited all week and prices have not shown much change, although today there was an unmistakably lower trend to values all along the line.

Sinking of Tnsranla Direct Cause of Ad vance In Grain and Provisions. Chicago, Feb. 7. Advance In the value of grain resulted directly today from the sinking of the Tuscania. Corn closed firm, He net higher, with May $1.26. Oata gained l'ic to IVi'lSc net. Provisions showed a rise of 5c to 10c. ' Many traders ap; eared to regard the loss of life on the Tuscania a a factor which would tend to prolong the war. This view attracted notice from the out set In the corn market and, largely a a result, there was lncroalng strength In price throughout the day. News that an other Cunarder had also been torpedoed came Just before the close of the sesslcn, but waa not generally known In time to be a market influence. The fact that de spite better weather the receipts of corn rematned very small acted as a handicap on the bears, but was more or less offset by announcements that no unseasonably low temperature were expected ti.ls week. Scantiness of supplies did a good deal to hoist the oats market. Some attention was also ffiven to the fact that barley was at the highest level since the civil war. Likelihood of enlarged shipments to the east put strength Into provision. Big sup pile of hogs had only a tranalent bearish effect. New York General Market New York, Feb, 7.

German wireless dispatches bring the Brest-Litovsk negotiations up to Feb. 3, when long discussions on the questions of the representatives of the Russian west ern border states and Poland joining in the negotiations failed to bring any results. - 1 Leon Trotzky, the bolsheviki for eign minister, contended the fact of foreign occupation prevented him from recognizing representatives of Poland under existing conditions and argued that a state without either boundaries or king could be neither a state nor a kingdom. Both Czernin and Dr. von Kuelil mann protested that they had not come to engage in an intellectual wrestling match, and, at the close, the German secretary explained that he was obliged by unavoidable duties to depart for a short time, but said that during his absence the political and economic committees could con tinue negotiations. Mike Sullivan's Boarders Must Have Credentials "Hello, is this a rooming house?" inquired a female voice of Mike Sulli van, desk officer at the police station Wednesday night. "Well," said Mike, "this is not strictly speaking a rooming house, but we do give board and room, lady, I it you can show the , proper cre dentials." "What are they?" she asked. "Well, if ycu are the sixth diamond robber, or." He got no further, as a click in his car warned him that the "prospective roomer" had 'hung up in haste.

IS WORD TO ROTARY A. B. Currie Says 63 Cars Would Be Four Hours' Supply and City Uses 250 Car loads Daily. "Sixty-three cars of coal sai.l by an Omaha newspaper to be on the side track in the Gibson railroad yards would supply Omaha but four hours.'' was the startling statement made by A. B. Currie of the Currie Coal com pany in an address before the Rotary club at their noonday luncheon at the Fontetielle hotel Wednesday. "Normally there 'should be about 2(X) cars and the fact that there i? but 6J shows that a 'shortage exists rather than that it is not reaching the customer. Omaha uses daily 25U cars of steam and domestic coal, ac cording to the estimates ot the lead ing coal dealers and railroad men." He attributed the shortage of coal largely to the misinformation given in newspapers and criticized severely papers that tended to excite the peo ple over a probable shortage of coal before the facts warranted it. Not All This Coal for Omaha. "If an inve-tigation had been made before the article telling of the coal at Gibson was printed the absurdity of the statements would ljave been learned. Any coal dealer or railroad man would have known that the bulk of this coal was for the exclusive use of the Burlington railroad for the operation of locomotives and the do mestic coal on the tracks was to sop ply western Nebraska as well as Omaha." lie dwelt at length on the coal sit uation not only in Omaha and the United States but in the entire, world. Members were unanimous in declar ing it one of the most instructive talks ever made before the club. ' "Nebraska, notwithstanding Xhe fact that it has no coal within its own borders, has the largeit variety of coal of any state in the union," said Mr. Currie. "Every varijety of coal sold in Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Denver is aoid in Omaha and in addition we have Wyoming and Montana coals not sold in these cities." He quoted George H. dishing, editor of the Black Dia mond. a coal trade publication, as 'oi.infT Viaf Welira;lfa was more Dar- ticular of the grade of coal used than any other state.

Two American avi ators accompanied a French escadrille on a bombing expedition last niglit. The Frenchmen dropped their bombs and the squadron started on its re turn trip. ' At daylight an enemy squadron of eight planes was encountered well above, the clouds and a general en gagement ensued. The Americans each picked out 'an enemy machine, and within a few minutes one of them, a second lieutenant, shot a streahi of machine gun bullets into the enemy. The German plane top pled over and fell crashing towards the earth. The other American failed to get his man. ' The French fliers warmly congratulated the young Americans, who had been only recently gradu ated from the flying school, for their courage, coolness ana emciency. Dr. Cameron ChangesHis Mind About Omaha Crime All of the wickedness in Omaha centered in the Kirke gang in the opinion of Dr. A. D. Cameron ofj Kearney, member of the first district exemption board. Friday he returned to his home town to spend Sunday nd enter tained the natives with tales of lhej wild doings in Omaha. He waxedi eloquent in telling of "daylight jewetj robberies" and "pitched battles be tween bandi'.s and police." At the same time he wa mourning the loss of a valuable package left in. the Union station iit his hurry to leave -town. Imagine his surprise Monday; when he returned to find the pack age, undamaged, in the seat where he, had left it the previous Friday. - Extremely repentant he now praises the virtues of Omaha citizens to every caller at the exemption board and states that he firmly believes the IVIIM.U 111 C IIWW ait lit VHtfuuj w Sheriff Mike Clark.
