LIVE STOCK PRICES
Marked Advance in Values of All Grades

PROFIT THAT GOES TO THE FARMERS

PROSPERITY IN FERTILE BURT COUNTY
Great Crops Are Brought Forth on the
Broad Bottoms,
GOOD NEWS FROM ALL OVtR NEBRASKA
Timely Rains Cheer Up the Corn and
Put the Great King out of
Reach of sun and

One of the most potent influences working
for the restoration of prosperity in the
farming districts of the west is the great
advance in live stock values as compared
with last season. year ago farmers and
stock growers were complaining that their
i've stock was selling so low that there was
no proht in the business. and in many in
stances both cattle and hogs were fed at a
positive loss. No bare statement OF the
fact can convey anything like a correct
idea of what this advance means to the
farmers and stock growers of the west and
1t is only when the actual figures are COM
pared that the real situation becomes ap-
parent.
a year ago at this time hogs were selling
in South Omaha an average at s27O to
$3.50 per 100 pounds, while at present
the sales average right around $3.50 In
other words hogs are now selling 20 to so
cents per 100 higher than at this time last
year. The average weight OF the hogs
coming forward is 270 pounds, so that the
advance in the price amounts in round
numbers, to $l.5O to 81 on each hog mar
keted. Yesterday over 1000 hogs were re-
celVed at South Omaha, which viii give some
idea OF what the advance means to the Ship
pers in the aggregate.
Cattle are selling considerably higher than
year ago, good cornfed steers being fully
~ ~ ~ SeHtS pei huuuIeu HlSner. GOou
to choice feeders, such cattle as the farmers
take out into the country to place on corn
feed, were quoted a year ago at 1920 to
$3.50 and the same cattle are now bringing
$3.50 to $i.2O In other words, such cattle
are GO to 20 cents higher than one year ago.
Similar advances have taken place ON all
grades of cattle
One Of the best features of the situation
is the prospect that beef cattle will bring
good prices all the coming year, as there
does not appear to he any surplus in the
country, and as the demand for beef will in
all likelihood improve as the general busi-
ness becomes better. The hog market Is a
more uncertain quantity, as the price OF
hogs depends more upon the size of the corn
crop and the foreign demand for product,
but those who are best informed as to tho
market conditions express the opinion that
hogs will not sell materially lower than
at the present time, while there is a possi-
bility of their going considerably higher.

PROSPERITY IN BURT COUNTY.
Wonderful Returns from Farming In
the Fertile Iottoms.

TEKAMAH, Neb., Aug. 5,-(Special.)-
Burt county will produce more grain and
hay this season than ev1r in the history of
the county. Corn is in fine condition and
while on the hill tops 1t is a tribe dry, down
on the lowlands it is so far advanced that
drouth cannot damage it, The ears are well
on to maturity and are large and firm The
yield of oats Is enormous, while wheat goes
twenty-five bushels TO me acre in many
fields and the berry is large and perfect.
There is no end of hay grass-far more than
can be consumed. 1t stands six feet high
over vast areas and If cut would make thou
sands of tons of the choicest hay. 1t Is the
natural product of the famous Arizona pre-
cinct than which there is no more fertile
region in the world 1t ferns Il part of the
broad sweep of lOwlands between De Soto
and Decatur-two old villages which figured
spicuously in the early days of Nebraska.
This land has been titled for forty years,
yet it is apparently rich as ever There
is one stand OF rye which is more than four
feet high for acres upon acres, and the yield
is very heavy. 1t was here the late Andrew
j. Poppleton pre-empted quarter section,
receiving a patent from the government
more than forty years ago. DIR. Conkling,
Judge George w. Doane and Ben Folsom,
relative of Grover Cleveland were pioneers
of this county. The county records bear
their names as having owned property here.
The live stock industry has assumed large
proportions. Nel9 Morris owns 1000 acres OF
tho most beautiful land in the world He
has great feeding pens, a large grain ele-
yator, long rows of sheds fine dwellings and
barns and every adjunct OF a modern farm.
He feeds vast quantities of stock for the
market. A track leads from the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha main line to
his farm and stock is loaded right on his
premises. Judge NJ. r. Hopewell, who for
ten years was judge of the district court
owns 5000 acres of the choicest land in the
county most OF which is under cultivation
this year and is yielding an enormous guam
tity of grain. The judge is also preparing
for the manufacture of butter and cheese on
large scale. Many residents of Burt
county are large owners of land, and
having ample capital they are feeding
their corn to cattle and hogs,
and thus the live stock industry grows from
year to year. Burt county's exhibit at the
State fair this year and at the exposition
next year, 1t can be safely predicted, will
be unsurpasSed.

NO THOUGHT or A,IALGAMATIoN
Colonial Bishops as Much Opposed to

NEW YORK, Aug. 5-Bishop Henry c.
Potter of New York arrived on the Germanc
today from Liverpool When asked if he had
come over prepared to arbitrate the troubles
Of the striking coalers hel said:
81 have not been asked to arbitrate in this
matter"
"Will you if you are requested to do so?''
be was asked.
81 must wait until have been requested
to do so before | can answer that question,
replied the bishop.
In speaking of the conference of bishops
held at Lambeth Bishop Potter said he was
greatly impressed by the independence and
high spirit shown by the colonial bishops,
The remark was brought out by a question
as to the reported movement to amalgamate
the organizations of bishops, England, Ameri-
can, Indian and colonial Bishop Potter said
he had never heard of such a movement. 81

more aggressive, independent and outspoken
in their views than even the Americans. and
they would be the first to resent anything

CHECK IN THE RISE OF WHEAT.
Spectators Take Advantage of Ever.
OnnOrtuniIN to RcnIiNe.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The steady rise IN
wheat for several days past was checked to-
day. September opened and closed at a
net decline Of cents The decline of Ia
1hd at Liverpool was the principal reas IN
advanced for disposing of holdings. Re
ceipts were in excess of last years, but eX-
porteCs sold 1896 900 bushels here and about
eighty-fve boat loads at the seaboard. No
spring wheat brought 2@2A cents premium
over the September option. Large
speculative lines were dumped on the
maket at every rally. and the final prices
were about the lowest of the session.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Amid great ex-
element wheat prices sold off about cents
a bushel this morning. The crowd fully eX-
pected a repetition of recent bull conditions
abroad, but were staggered at finding a de-
cline of 1Rd in Liverpool futures after a
slight opening advance. Backing this up
were foreign selling orders and a marks
decline in the Berlin market. stream of
long wheat at once began to pour into the
local pit, increasing as. orders from outside
spectators swelled the selling movement.
The first sales were practically cents a
bushel under last night, September selling at
S3lS cents, a sheer drop of 27s cents
from yesterdays top notch. From this point
values pulled up to S41s cents on rumors of
fresh export business to be added to the
100000 bushels worked yesterday.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug. 5,--Another
glorious morning with but enough breeze
to make the day perfect greeted the inhab-

an hour which was greatly enjoyed. After
the concert the president and vice president
went for a stroll among the pines.
