A Persian story.

There is story in Persian literature
of certain poet who came before a
great man and praised him very or
nately. The rich man was very pleased
and said: Ready money 1 have not;
nevertheless there is in my granaries
very much corn. If you come tomor-
row l will give you some" The poet
went to his own house and on the NOR
row presented himself to his patron
1.-THE rich man asked him, why have
you come" He said: Yesterday you
promised to give me corn. For this rea-
son am l come" The rich man said:
E"A most wonderful fool thou art. What
you said to me gave me pleasure. What
II have said to you equally pleased you.
Why, then. should l give you cornr'

Later the local market became quite weak

Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-20

CATTLE-There were a few more cattle
here this morning than arrived a week
ago, and, as Chicago was reported gen
orally a dime lower, packers were rather
bearish at this point. The quality of the
steers on sale was also very inferior, which
was another reason for their being rather
Indifferent.
The steer market was slow in getting
started and packers were bidding right
around a dime lower for the most of the
cattle that arrived. There was nothing
that could be called good on sale, so that
a test of the market on that class of
cattle was not made. 1t is safe, how
ever, to say that on such as were offered
the market was slow and weak to a dime
lower. The morning was well advanced
before much business was transacted.
The COW market, however, was fairly
orisk and just about steady with the close
Of last week. Packers all seemed to be
quite anxious for supplies, so that, althongh
some statesmen thought that the medium
grades did not always bring steady prices,
the most of the cattle were out OF first
hands in good season.
Bulls were about steady with last weeks
big decline and veal calves also sold at
good, steady prices.
There were quite a few feeders and stock
ers offered and anything desirable could
be quoted steady. Spectators had prac-
ticaily no good cattle on hand, so that
they were anxious for that class OF stun;
The common stun, though, was neglected
and hard to move at any Price, the same
as was the case last week. representative

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The wheat market
ruled active and strong today, May closing

idle BY comparison, the May options in
both pits concluding the session with a
shade loss. Provisions closed unchanged to
NAV wheat opened isdhc higher to a

and comparatively little Of II coming from

receipts were 99S,OO bushels, compared with
6s7,OOO bushels last year. The world ship
ments were &, 10000 bushels.
The corn market acted heavy most of the
day under the influence Of fairly favorable
weather, liberal country acccptances Of
Saturdays bids and the absence Of any
particular demand for the cash commodity.
Commission houses acting for country. in
terests generally were on the selling side.

however, was sufficient only to steady the
market after a fractional decline early

a shade down at 43Ac. Receipts here were
430 cars.
BY clinging to the skirts of the wheat
market oats held steady, although senti-
ment was inclined to he bearish on liberal
country acceptances. Buying by commits
sion houses rescued the market from its
bottom price. May sold between 3514c and
S5%c and closed a shade lower at $50
35hc. Local receipts were 3S1 cars.
The provision market was quiet. The
opening was lower in sympathy with a de
cline in hog prices, but the wheat strength
saved the market from further decline and
even resulted I'm a slight rally. May pork
closed PIC lower at $l6.45, May lard UNI
