THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South omAhs
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.

SOUTH OMAHA.
Union Stock Yards-Cattle-There was
a light run of cattle and as result there
was considerable competition among buy
ers. The few beef steers offered met with
ready sale Of good, strong prices as COM
pared with yesterday. The demand on
the part Of packers seemed to be quite
liberal and in order to get what they
needed they paid considerable higher
prices in some cases for the more desir-
able kinds. The commoner cattle also
moved more freely than usual, so the
pens were cleared at an early hour. The
cow market was in much the same con-
dition as the trade on steers. Buyers
were all anxious for supplies and jumped
In and bought UP what was offered early
in the morning at good, strong prices.
The cattle seemed to change hands about
as fast as they arrived and all kinds
brought very satisfactory prices as COM
pared with yesterdays quotations. The
lightweight bulls also sold in good shape,
at fully steady prices, but, the same as
has been the case for some little time,
the heavyweights were hard to move.
Prices on that kind were only about
steady. Veal calves were in good demand
and sold strong. The same could be said
of stays.
Hogs-There was a very light run of
hogs here today and as the demand on
the part of packers was in good shape
the market opened generally 10c higher.
The range of prices was from $5.5212 to
$5.60, with the long string at $3.50. The
anu heavier weights SOlu dI
$5573 and as high as $500 was paid for
fancy load. The market was fully active
and the bulk was sold in good season.
TodayS advance carries the market not
only to the highest point reached this
year, but to the high point since Sep
tember, 1894
Sheep-The supply of sheep today was
not excessive and the demand was equal
TO the occasion. There was not much
change noticeable in the prices paid for
ewes and wethers and the market could
best be described by calling it a good,
steady market. Lambs. however, were
in good demand and the market gener-
ally dime higher than yesterday. AS
high as $500 was paid today, which, con-
sidering quality, was just about 10c high
er than yesterdays market. 1t was
fairly active market all around and the
bulk of the offerings were sold in good
season.

HORSES MEET DEATH IN FIRE.
Ten Head Burned in Whitmore Brothers'
Barn at Valley.

VALLEY, Neb., March 18-The large
barn and granaries of Whitmore Bros.
at this place were burned to the
ground. Ten head of horses confined
in the basement of the barn, a large
amount of grain and numerous wagons
and buggies were consumed, involving
a loss of $4,000, partly covered by in
surance.
The fire started from the explosion
of a lantern in the hands of Arthur
Dunham, an employe of the firm. He
was in the hay loft at the time and can
ascribe no reason for the explosion of
the lantern, for it came without any
warning. Dunham escaped without il
jury. From the hay, which burned rap
idly, the fire quickly spread to the en-
tire barn, destroying all the farm i'm
plements, buggies, wagons and grain.

CORNED BEEF REALLY NEEDED.
Germany's Decree Forbidding Its Inn
portation Works Hardship.

portstion Works Hardship.
WASHINGTON March 1S.-The
German meat inspection law, absolute
ly prohibiting the importation Of
American corned beef, sausages, etc.,
which went into effect some time ago,
has made no friends, according to a
report received at the state depart
ment from United States Consul Died
erich at Bremen. The law has been
the object of very severe criticism III
Germany, according to the consul, and
one of the most pointed arguments
against it's avowed purpose of pro-
noting public health, because the re-
sultant high prices on meat lessen its
consumption, while the health of the
German nation demands an increase.

do nothing for me. While there my
attention was called to Dodd's Kidney

The Medical Society of Paris de-

some measure against the alarming
spread of petroleum drinking. At
first it was thought that this habit
had sprung up from the increased

case; the habit had been prevalent
some time previously in certain dis
tricts, and had spread with great
