Cattle Cattle receipts today were 16,000
head, and the two days' supply, 34,300
head, has been practically the same as
last week, but 6,000 short of the same
two days last year. Demand for weighty
steers and desirable butcher stock was
fairly broad and prices held about steady.
On the general run of medium and light
weight steers and cows the outlet was re
stricted and bids and sales generally 10
15c lower than Monday, or 2540o lower
than the latter part of last week. In
stockers and feeders the movement was
very sluggish, as supplies of both stale
and fresh cattle were heavy. Good qual
ity and strong weight steers were in fair
request, but there was a very poor out
let for the medium and common stuff at
prices 1015c lower than yesterday and
anywhere from 2660c lower than last
week.

Hogs Today s receipts amounted to
6.800 head, making the run for the two
days, 9,737 head. The shipper market was
very slow and order buyers took a very
small proportion of receipts at 2535c
lower than yesterday, rackers were very
bearish and while a few loads were not
over 15c lower, the bulk wasfully 26c
below yesterday. Choice hogs today seemed
to suffer the most and the quality of the
run on the whole was fairly good. Bulk
of all sales was (18.8019.00, sales were
reported as low as (18.75 and top was
made of (19.60.
Sheep There was another liberal run
of sheep reported In today, estimated at

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
All Receipts Are Very Light
Corn Eight Cents Off to Two
Cents Up Virtually No
Market Wheat or Oats.
Omaha, September 24, 1918.
Receipts of grain today were very light
and there was scarcely enough samples
on the tables to make a market in any of
the cereals, particularly wheat and oats.
Arrivals were 32 cars of wheat, (1 cars
of corn, 8 cars of oats, no rye and 4 can
of barley.
Corn prices ranged from 8o lower to 2c
higher. Good grades of white showed the
big decline. Some of the choice yellow
brought the advance, while the remainder
of this kind was about unchanged.
Wheat was quoted as unchanged for the
few cars sold.
Oat figures were firm, and barley un
changed. There was no rye sold.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Temporary Stoppage of Shipments Brings
About Advance In Corn Market.
Chicago, Sept. 24. Temporary atoppage
of the Issuance of permits of grain from
country points had bullish effect today
on corn. Closing prices were firm, lc
net higher, with October (1.471. 47
and November $1.451.45. Oats fin
ished unchanged to c lower. The
outcome in provisions varied from 35c
decline to 6o advance.
Inasmuch as the corn trade had been
expecting liberal 'receipts the reversal of
this outlook gave an Immediate advantage
to the bulls. It was explained that official
figures showed too large a number of cars
waiting to be unloaded at the eight lead
ing markets, and that the avoidance of
congestion was of the utmost Importance.
Some uncertainty as to how soon the clear
ing up of the tracks would allow a re
sumption of the rural movement led to a
sharp reaction, which was emphasized by
the favorable character of the war news,
but profit taking by shorts together with
a assurance of a decided falling off in sup
plies for the time being brought about
later a fresh upturn in values.
Commission house selling checked ad
vances In the oats market Receipts were
small, and lh good demand.
Weakness in the prica of hogs made
provisions average lower.
Butter Market unchanged.
Eggs Higher; receipts, 11,98$ cases;
firsts, 4344c; ordinary firsts, 41
42c; at mark, cases included, 4043c.

Poultry Alive, market lower; fowls, $1
27c; springs, 25c.
Subsequently, covering by shorts led to
rallies. The close waa firm, to 1 cent
net higher, with October $1.47 to $1.47
and November, $1.45 to $1.45.
In the later trading pork and ribs un
derwent an additional setback. Lard, how
ever, developed a little atrength.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Market Broader and More Ac
tive, but Profit Taking and
Professional Selling
Check Advance.
New York, Sept 24. In a broader and
more active stock market today the re
cent advance in prices was repeatedly
checked by profit taking and professional
selling. General intiuences were consider
ed favorable to a continued advance, but
pressure from special sources weakened
many individual shares, and the general
list moved Irregularly In response. Stocks
regarded as essential war Issues did not
respond to the Impetus shown elsewhere.
Heaviness in the tobacco and distillery
Issues, the latter suffering sharp declines
ostensibly because of federal legislation
favorable to prohibition, was offset to
some extent by the strength shown by
Central Leather, oils, equipments, motors
and some of the utilities. Central Leather
advanced 1 points after declaration of
its 2 per cent extra dividend.
Except in periods of profit taking the
most popular shares were sustained by
the good war news. United States Steel
reached Its highest price of the current
movement at $1.11, but was subsequent
ly freely sold when it became known that
no alteration would be made in the pres
ent prices of Steel products. Sales
amounted to 300,000 shares.
Exchange rates on neutral countries
again exhibited a drooping tendency. Lib
erty bonds, overcame their recent weak
ness, the third 4s moving up 50 points.
Foreign Issues sold higher, with French
municipals especially strong. Railroad
and other bonds continued their down
ward trend. Total sales par value, $8,
200,000.
United States bonds (old Issues) un
changed on call

Decorates Burgess-Nash
Store for Liberty Loan
Unique decorations planned to in
crease patriotism during the com
ing Liberty loan drive greet one on
entering the Burgess-Nash store.
Blending in an artisic manner the
entwined colors and emblems of the
allied nations are displayed over the
entire store.
On the south wall hangs a large
service flag showing mute evidence
of the 54 former employes of the
store now in the service. Surround
ing the large banner are smaller
flags of the nations for which these
young men have volunteered their
lives to protect.
The American nag, surrounded by
the flags of our allies, decorate each
pillar in the store. A flag pole has
been erected in the center of the
store from which flies the American
flag.
E. J. Berg, display manager of the
Burgess-Nash store, and chairman
of the decorations committee for the
Fourth Liberty loan campaign ar
ranged the display.
"Work or Fight" Law Makes
Husbands Support Families
The "work or fight" law is having
an unexpected effect, as P. H. Casey,
county charity administrator, has
discovered.
Prior to the enactment of the "in
dustrious" law it was impossible to
compel a lazy husband to support
his family.
Today with the "work law behind
him and the United States employ
ment service next door to his office,
Administrator Brice has little dif
ficulty in persuading recalcitrant
swains to play the man.
When women or children appeal
to the organization for financial aid
now the name of the person respon
sible for their maintenance is re
corded and an investigation made.
If it is found that the suspected one
does not do his share of work he
is served with the grim ultimatum
"work or fight!"
In "many" instances he goes to
work, the administrator declared.
Doran Active in Bringing
The Man and Job Together
Bringing the man and the job to
gether is the duty of P. J. Doran,
manager of the South Side branch
of the United States Employment
bureau, and in the performing of
this he has been quite successful.
His headquarters are in the South
Side city hall, and on the opening
day of the week he had 43 regis
trants for the 72 places that were
open on his books.
Mr. Dora.i says: "Considering the
nation-wide shortage of man power,
we are meeting the demand for labor
for the big industries of South Oma
ha fairly well. There is no acute
scarcity of labor here."
Captain Patton Promoted
with Bae Hospital Unit
Due to the tremendous amount of
work Base Hospital Unit No. 49 has
been divided into two units, Nos.
49 and 49-A, according to informa
tion received by Dr. Irwin S. Cut
ter, dean of the University of Ne
braska medical college in Omaha.
Captain James M. Patton has been
promoted to the rank of major and
will be in charge of Unit No. 49,
and Major Stokes, formerly in
charge of that unit, will have com
mand of 49-A. Both men were for
merly well known practitioners
here.
Industrial School or Navy
Ultimatum Given by Judge
The alternative of joining the
navy or being incarcerated in the
Kearney Industrial school until he
reaches the age of 21, was offered
by Judge Troup in the district court
yesterday to Earl Brice, a chronic
juvenile delinquent.
Young Brice lives with his step
father and mother, Ruth Gerber, at
518 Damon street. Council Bluffs.
He has not yet vouchsafed a reply
to Judge Troup's ultimatum,
Short Weight and Short
Measure Devices Shown
A number of typical short-weight
scales and false-bottom measures
were on exhibition in the office of
the city inspector of weights and
measures in the city hall yesterday
afternoon to give the housewives of
Omaha an opportunity to see the
most common means taken to de
fraud them.
The dry measures were of two
kinds, those with false bottoms and
those with movable bottoms. Those
with false bottoms have the ordin
ary bottom with a second bottom
placed above it, with a space be
tween the two. The dry measure
with the movable bottom is usually
of tin and the bottom of the measure
is not fastened to the sides. This
bottom can easily be pushed up into
the measure.
There was also on exhibition a
scale used on a wagon for weighing
coal, the hook weight of which was
16 pounds lighter than it should
have been and each customer who
bought coal received 16 pounds
short measur.
A fish scale was also exhibited
that cheatd the customer of three
fourths of a pound,
i Assistant City Inspector of
Weights and Measures C. A. Bussel
said each housewife should have a
pair of scales in her possession and
weigh each purchase. "She should
know, for examp'le," said Mr. Bussel,
"that a bushel of potatoes weighs 60
pounds to a bushel. If the peddler
or merchant gives her less, he
should be reported to the weights
and measures office in the city hall.
Peddlers can be identified by their
numbers. Every peddler who gives
honest weight should have the city
inspection seal on his measure. This
reads 'O. S. 18. "
Mr. Bussel also said the house
wife should have her scales inspect
ed by the city in order to know that
they weigh correctly.

Lawyers Fail to Appear
to Help with Questionnaires
Omaha lawyers are slackers, ac
cording to exemption board men,
who report that scores of lawyers,
assigned to give legal advice to
registrants who are filling out their
questionnaires, fail to report for
duty.
Of 12 lawyers assigned to Iocai
board No. 4 in the federal building
for Tuesday morning, only three
reported. More than 100 registrants
were kept waiting from 8:30 in the
morning until after noon.
The halls at the Army building
were crowded all day Monday and
Tuesday with waiting registrants
and both Chairman Ure of the First
exemption district and Henry Mey
ers of the Third complained about
the need for lawyers.
Many of the men are laboring
men who had been given a few
hours off from work to file their
questionnaires.
Exemption board members are
indignant because the lawyers are
refusing to help and they have
threatened to publish a list of the
"slackers" if the men who have been
assigned for duty do not report
promptly.
