LOCAL DEALERS ARE GETTING
LARGE SHIPMENTS OF FINE
FRESH FISH.
OYSTERS ALSO ARRIVING
There is a Demand for Winter
Caught Fish and Consumption
Is Heavy.

Local fish dealers have arranged to
keep on hand an unusually large sup
ply during the Lenten season. Black
bass, red snapper and halibut are ar
irving in every shipment, and the
dealers say that the fish are much
better than they have been getting
since the opening of the winter.
Large shipments Of Baltimore and
New England oysters are arriving
daily and the demand for this popu-
lar sea food is very brisk. A few
clans are also to be found on the
market.
There is growing demand for
winter caught fish. This year deal
ers have been particularly fortunate
in securing winter-caught fish and To-
cal consumption has been the heavi-
est on record. There are a few
canvasback and mallard ducks on the
market, but prices are high.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS
Hog Receipts Larger; Prices 1879
Cents Lower; Unfavorable Re-
ports From Other Markets
Cattle Steady,

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2.-Re-
ceipts 1000 hogs, 1880 cattle and so
sheep against 5,21O hogs, 1,O06 cattle
and SO sheep a week ago, and 4,347
hogs, 1896 cattle and 154 sheep a
year ago.
Receipts of hogs were the largest
for single day since about the mid
die of last month, and this and I'M
favorable reports from other places
were factors that contributed to a
sharp decline in prices. The market
was fairly active, which resulted in
good clearance at the decline of
12hc. Packers were more liberal
buyers, but the demand from outside
sources was not as good as heretofore
this week. At the close Of trade the
demand from all sources had been
we'll supplied and the tendency was
weaker than at the opening.
Cattle Rather Weak.
Receipts of cattle were not large
for Friday. There was about the US
ual number of buyers, but not much
competition. The best grade of cows
and heifers were about steady and
steers steady in some instances, but,
as a rule, cattle below top kinds IN
all departments sold weak to Toe low
er. Trading was not active, but not
many cattle remained in the pens I'M
sold. There was only fair demand
for feeding cattle and calves 25c low
er, making a decline of from 75c @
$3.50 thus far this week, according to
quality.
Few Sheep and Lambs.
There were not enough sheep or
lambs to invite competition between
buyers. The few small punches on
sale brought about steady prices COM
pared with yesterday. Lambs sold at
$6:75@7.OO. There were no sheep
good enogh to bring over 1915, but
they were not top kinds.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Liverpool Was Bullish but Weather
Bearish; Wheat Market Held
Steady to Firm-Corn
Followed the Leader.

Chicago, March 2.-The failure Of
Liverpool to respond to yesterdays
decline in the local wheat market
caused prices to remain steady to
firm. Although the price of wheat
here had declined s4c, Liverpool was
only Ad lower today. Shorts and
commission houses were the chief
buyers, but offerings were light. The
reports of rain throughout the South
west were a bearish influence. May
wheat opened unchanged to shade
higher.
Corn Firm on Weather.
The corn market was steady to
firm, chiefly because of wet weather,
which, according to traders here, will
prevent the grain from drying out in
crib and grading high. May corn
opened a shade higher.
There was little trading in oats,
but the market was steady. May
opened a shade to Zee higher.
The provisions market opened a
trifle easier because Of a decline in
the price of live hogs. The loss reg
istered early was, however, soon re-
gained, shorts being the principal
buyers.

NEBRAskA's OPPORTUNITY

If the incoming state government of
Nebraska will redeem it's pledges to
the people, in good faith, by giving
them just and reasonable freight rates
over the railroads of the state. the
savings from that source alone will
be sufficient in a single year to build
and equip a sufficient number of flour
of the present year, 45,000,000 bushels,
into -four Think what saving of ten
million dollars a year means to the
people of the state. Yet that sum is
a conservative estimate of the amount
the railroads of the state collect from
our people annually in excess of what
is a just and reasonable charge for
the services they perform. The peo-
pie have a right to expect of the new
ly elected state officials and legisla-
ture the fulfillment of their pledges,
to the very letter, in absolute good
faith, because the platforms of all
political parties were explicit upon the
railroad question, and were in full
agreement, leaving nothing in doubt.
The people demand the fulfillment of
the pledges made to them by the party
in power and will accept neither ex-
cuse or apology for failure thereof.
With the passing of railroad govern
ment, and railroad extortion in our
state, opportunity laden with golden
promise will enter therein and bid Ne
braska take its place at, or near the
head of the column of flour milling
states. The milling center of the
future must be in proximity to the
winter wheat fields of Nebraska and
Kansas. 1t is safe to predict that the
great Touring mills of the future will
not be built in the spring wheat ter
ritory, but will be erected at Omaha
and Kansas City and in the territory
tributary to these two cities.
The reason why this must be so is
obvious. Only few years since the
