At
Dwing one hour, from 9 to 10 o'clock
every morning, the young women shown
in the v above picture answer more than
4,400 telephone calls. 1
They are the telephone operators at
work during the day at the switchboard
in the Walnut central office. Other op

evening and night V-
The busiest hours of the day at Walnut
are between 9 and 10 in the morning and
between 7 and 8 in the evening. During
the busiest evening hour nearly 4,000
calls are made daily.
In all, over 44,000 telephone calls are
made every 24 hours from Walnut tele
phones, and when a severe storm, a fire,
or unusual accident or an epidemic of
sickness occurs, this number is greatly
increased. "
Standing in the picture may be. seen
the supervisors. The chief operator,
whose deslsf is shown at the rear, and the
supervisors, are constantly on xguard to
help out any operator who may be receiv
ing, more calls than she can handle.

By NEW YORK TIMES.
Chicago Tribune -Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Naw York, March. 10. Railroad
stocks swung into the foreground of
today's active dealings and recorded
a strong price trend all the way to
th close. Constructive sentiment
prevailed in all departments of the
market, however, and the fact that
net gains of th e rails overtopped
most of the industrials was particu
larly significant of the altered specu
lative attitude in try: last few days,
the result, evidently, of immediate
development among the Carriers.
Railroad managements are rapidly
voting acceptance of the railway
law proposal for a six months' con
tinuance of the standard rejturn, and
substantial orders for new equip
ment teirof a quickening of trans
portation plans under private con
trol. It has teen many a day since
Reading assumed leadership vf the
market in so positive a fashion as
today the net gain was more' than
6 pointsand it has also been a long
time since Atchison, New York Cen
tral, Southen Pacific, Union Pa
cific and others have been in so
persistent a demand. Presumably,
buying was mainly for the account
of speculators. The impression
prevailed, also, that traders who
make their chief business the buy
ing and selling of stocks were the
most active participants. This qual
ity of dealings was of a sort to pro
mote caution in attempting to esti
mate the course of railway shares in
the early future.

While on duty each telephone operator i
is relieved by other operators 'at regular
intervals. These rest periods may be
spent in the comfortable rest room pro
vided at tite Walnut central office, as at
each of the other central offices in
Omaha.
A lunch room is also provided at the
Walnut office solely for the operators.
Neither the lunch room nor the rest room
is shown in the picture. n
In all the central offices in Omaha
nearly 1,000 young women are employed
to operate the telephone system. They
answer and provide connections for over
385,000 calls each day under normal con
ditions. The wages of the telephone operators
compare favorably with those of the
highest paid professions in Omaha. We
want each young woman in our employ
to be happy and contented, and for that
reason alone good pay is necessary. '
This is the second of a series of pic
tures of the operators at work in the
various central offices of Omaha that we
will show in our advertisements.
Financial News
market or th feeling baa gained strength
that underlying factors are being im
proved. Call money stood at 7 per cent
for both renewala and new loana today,
a rate which might be thought to show
some easement from th dominant quo
tation of Tuesday, There waa no lessen
ing of tension in the time money mar.
ket and commercial paper commanded 7
per cent yet th comment of brokerage
offlcea Indicated an Impression that the
position of credit waa being gradually
improved through conservative action of
bank in regard, to -mercantile loana.
Also, , emphasis has been laid In bank
ing quarters of late upon the tightening
of accorimodatlona extended Into chan.
nela for financing foreign trade, a pro
cea expected to show result In bank
statements before long. From one point
of view, a decline of . trad credits to
domestic exporters presupposes a falling
off of exports 'through an influence not
directly connected with the foreign ex
change market, which In Itself haa acted
to curtail sales of American goods In
Europe, and it remains to be seen
whether a forward movement of In
dustrial shares may make progress if
exports decline.
More (laid I Bought.
News that $1,100,000 more gold had
been bought by a New York banking
house in London was received as con
atructive' for the credit outlook. The gold
that Is coming from the sales at auction,
together with th probability of aiieable
shipments from British bank holdings, la
looked upon as a nlgbly Important ad
junct to our reserves, especially a the
outflow to South America and the Far
East promises, to continue on a broad
acale. Provided that the new gold la used
aolely to restore reserve and not as an
lnatrument for expanding the existing
creuu eiruciure, imports will pe wel
comed. The question may be raised
whether th growth of speculation In
stock has not been directed In part by
thought of an expansion of credit and if
It has tha market may not aupply clear
sailing. y

Price Current drain Reporter says:
"Reports on the condition of winter
wheat Indicate that the conditions
throughout Indiana, Illinois afea) Missouri
are if anything more discouraging than
two! weeks ago, whereas tho reports from
Kansas and Oklahoma Indicate practically
the same situation as two weeks ago. On the
whole It would seem to be definitely cer
tain that in addition to the heavy re
duction in acreage planted there will be
a considerable abandonment of acreage
on account of Hessian fly, freezing and
thawing. Ice-covering and late seeding.'
Reports Indicate that the conditions are
uneven and local and there Is also con
siderable conflict of opinion regarding
conditions."
Minneapolis wire says:
"Discontinuance of the sale of flour to
th general mibllo by the grain corpora
tion was forecasted In a message received
today y Frank Carey, second vice presi
dent of the corporation, from Director
Barnes. Sales to the public her will be
closed as soon as arrangements can be
completed for disposition of the 500,000
Darreis neia oy tn corporation to tne
various European powers, the message
said.
Missouri crop report:
"Tho Joint monthly report of the Mis
souri state board of agriculture and the
government Indicates an outlook in Mis
souri not altogether toojgood. Wheat acre
age is reduced 1,720,090 from If 19 and
condition Is 66 against 93 last year. The
Intention at the present time Is to In
crease their corn acreage over last year;
oats 8 per cent and hay 6 per cent, which
wouia aaa sod.uuu acres co ids corn ana
113.000 acres to oats, but with these in
creases Missouri would be shy 600.000 acres
of corn of the usual average and 200,000
acres Increase In oats. Lack qf stability In
prices and difficulty In securing labor Is
eausing farmers to retrench In all' possible
lines.
Vreeilnr weather did tittle or no dam
age to winter wheat In Kansas and Okla
homa, says the Santa Fe railroad's week
ly crop report. High winds, however, did
a little damage. The crop Is two or
three weeks late. In Texas wet weather
is delaying field worR. indications are
for one-half to two-'thlrda of last year'

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune -Omaha He Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 10. Grairv prices
had a wide range and closed
at intermediate figures. Net gains
were 3 1-2- to 4 l-4c on rye
which showed the best of all on ex
port buying. Corn was 1 to 1 l-2c
higher, and oats 1-8 to l-4c higher.
Lard was 2 l-2c, short ribs 10c and
pork 25 to 45c higher for the day.
Persistent buying by seaboard
houses on the breaks was a feature
of the grain tradesat times today
with several sharp attacks by the
bears, who were forced to cover
after the first break, but succeeded
in getting another in the last hour.
The late decline was attributed to a
report that the United States treas
urer would not allow the allies more
credit This statement has been sent
out many times the past few months,
but comilg today from Washington
with the'claini that the peace treaty
was dead, had a depressing effect.
It caught the trade long with the
short interest-well in and Caused
a recession which ended in a close at
intermediate prices with gains of 1
to 1 l-4c in corn futures, while cash
corn was 3 to 6c lower than yester
day's sales, the extreme decline be
ing figured from the high point of
that day. Cash corn is working
closer to the May, and bear houses
are advocating selling of July and
September, as May is top easily con
gested. Oats gained 1-8 to l-4c de
spite the reported cancellation of 1,
000,000 bushels the past few days.
Canceleled Oat and Corn.
The east cancelled 109.000 bushels oats
at to over and 60,000 bushel corn at
so to . z c over.
Light offerings of futures featured the
corn market, and while there were many
aharp breaks the close was at inter
mediate figures with fair net gains. The
leading long In March sold freely, hav
ing cancelled sales of No. s yellow to
the east at t2tye over May. March
finished $1.62: May at $1.47: July at $1.41
and September at $1.37.
A break of S9c in cash prices, due to
the withdrawal of shipper from the mar
ket led to a decline In future - at one
time, but there was excellent buying In
break, and the loss waa fully recovered.
Toward the last report that no more
government credits Would be extended to
the allied oountrie and that ail hope of
passing tha peace treaty had been aban
doned made a quick drop from the top.
Wet weather was ' forecasted for the
west, and with higher temperatures coun
try roada are breaking up. Shortage of
cara prevent interior elevators from ship-
pin ireeiy, wnue inicago jianniera say
eastern roads are not furnishing cars
either. The big foreign demand for rye
Is attracting considerable attention, a Is
the. advance of 13o per quarter in Plate
corn In the United Klndom following
the removal of the maximum. Corn re
ceipt, 169 cars.
Advance Bid on Wheat.
Seaboard exporters advanced bids 4c on
No. 1 hard winter wheat to 12.66. prompt
shipment, track New York, and bought
10,000 bushels. Winter wheats here were
nominally 36c higher and spring un
changed to 50. higher with No. 1 north
ern $2.62, and No. 3 northern $2.402.42.
Becelnts, eight cars.
Chicago cash oat handlers, who have
been heavily ahort the actual grain to
seaboard exporters -continue to - cancel
sales as fast as possible, 1,000,000 bushels
being claimed to have been bought back
in the past few days. Domestic sales of
105,000 bushels No. 3 white were can
celled at eaual to 3 centa over Mar.
track Chicago. Inability to make ship
ment wa the main reason. Futures'
fluctuated rapidly within a ra"nge of lc
and closed firm with corn with May at
tto and July at 75c. Premiums In
the sample wheat market easier with
recelpta 15 cars.
Foreign government were after rye, a
Chicago house having a request for an
offer of 3,760,000 bushels direct from
Spain. Export sales at the eastboard
were estimated . at 600,000 to 1,000,000
bushels, reflecting aalea of a like quality
in the west to seaboard exporters. Bids
in the west were 14K016c over May,
track Baltimore, latter for guaranteed
for shipment Effort war mad at New
York to charter vessel to Antwerp, Rot
terdam and Hamburg. The arefieral belief
was that Germany and Austria vera the
buyer. -
