ed to 100000 bags The board OF

CHANGES WERE ALL
FOR IMPROVEMENT

demand for our manufactured pro-
ducts which to some extent should
compensate for lessened shipments Of
farm products. In times of depression
We absolutely need an export outlet
for our surplus manufacturers, and re-
cent reaction will have had some COM
pensating advantage if it promotes our
foreign trade on those lines. The rail-
road situation is steadily improving
and earnings show gratifying gains. In
the fourth week of March SO roads
showed an Increase of nearly 13 per
cent in gross earnings, a most salts
factory indication of the improve
ment in transportation. For the month
of March 40 roads showed a gain of II
per cent These comparisons are, of
course. made with a period of depres-
sion year ago. Nevertheless, rail
road traffic is rapidly coming back to
normal, and owing to enforced econ
omy net results are already improving.
The repurchase Of Norfolk & Western
securities by Pennsylvania is slgnifi-
cant since it indicates a less antago-
nistic attitude of the administration
and the public also towards the rail-
roads
There is nothing in the stock mar
ket situation to warrant any appre-
hension. The Turkish situation has
caused some temporary unsettlement
of the European markets but at pres
ent it does not appear that these dis
turbances will provoke any interna-
tional' complications, although of
course in the present delicate state of
affairs there is always such posi-
bility to be kept in view. The prevail
ing feeling in financial circles is one
of hopefulness;a sand the technical stu
alton of the market has not yet been
weakened by excessive speculation. In
all probability there will be frequent
fiuctuat tons, more activity in trading
and occasional reactions, with the
general drift of prices toward a high
er level.

Mrs. Raymond c. Brooks. who will

ira tomorrow evening is pupil of

was in constant demand by the Ehell
and other clubs and at Leland Stan
ford university chapel The Oakland
Enquirer in speaking of a concert
where Mrs. Brooks appeared, says:
Mrs. Brooks has soprano voice of
good quality, rich and sympathetic,
and sings with spirit and taste. Her
clear voice is always a delight, and the
charming things which she selects are
as dainty and beautiful as her beauti-
full voice.-Oakland (CaL) Enquirer.

Wagner's Taunhauser. and two mod
ern American songs-by way of con-
trast.

dent That May Prove Serious.

While playing in the basement of

child, Mrs. Thompson rushed to the

grandson was lying on the top of a
pile of ashes and was slowly being
roasted. a physician was Immediately
summoned, who relieved the agony of
the child somewhat, but found that the
b-rn on the hand was of a serious
nature. The other burns on the neck
and back, while TIE cause of much
anguish. are not deep enough to be
regarded as of a permanent nature.

AMERICAN INVASION in LONDON
Breezy Language of Western Women
CRptivnteS DenIsehs of the
Big Town.

Having a fixed mind about everybody
and everything was at one time a sort OF
divine right of the man born and bred IN
England, Other people might have their
notions, customs, whims; hey did not mat
ter. But now the American mind seems to
be fixed in a wa all its own; the Amerl-
can head seems to be screwed on by a
new and unheard-of process; IL is made to
turn, but not to bow 1t can think quicker
than II can feel, and a bevy Of young
women from the middle west contain as
many flashes Of wit as a garage does or
electric sparks.
Never before has the missing phrase
come with such lightning force. Artistic
London has waited long for this, uttered
by one Of the lady tourists recently: THE
national gallery looks like a man in a
bowler hat and a frock coat; or this:
'"Th statues In Westminster Abbey would
look better II their heads were off, Ut
this, in reference TO London buses:
Funny old things with stairs" These
visitors have a language OF their own, de-
nuded OF all make-believe. Remarks come
as from a machine made TO open, cut and
shut In a single movement. A judgment
is short, spontaneous, and final; something
so positive that superficial observer might
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-27

take it as the result Of long and deliberate
study. The opinions of continental visitors
never weighed with the people of London;
but here comes the American tourists,
stripped Of all superflulties, armed with a
handbag, two keen, restless eyes and a
sharp tongue, ready to see most things as
they are and some things as they ought to
be, the time having passed when sentimen-
tai considerations play even an %insignifi-
cant role in the ruling of a Judgment, and
lol the Londoner's breath is taken away
with the cool frankness of a point of view
never dreamed of in the remotest calcula-
lions of the possibilities of the future. In
fact, every other calculation had been
made by the wits Of london with refer
ence to visitors from the four points of the
European compass-the opinions of Rus
slams, Poles, Parisians, Spaniards and even
Turks could be foretold: their likes and
dislikes gave neither pleasure nor pain; but
who could have guessed at the condition
Of things today7 For the young woman
from the middle west comes to London
with a purpose wholly foreign to that of
the young woman from Berlin or Paris.
She comes with a full-fledged will, an in
dependent mind and an attitude devoid of
diffidence, and-the irony OF i!-she comes
from that same west so brutally lampooncd
by Dickens and Mrs. Trollop, and-must IT
be said?-her epigrams cut ten times deeper
than anything Dickens ever penned about
America. They cut deeper because they
are true, whereas Dickens criticised a raw
and crude country as IL it mad been settled
for a hundred years. We who have known
London for the last forty years and more
have failed to find the phrase that fits GER
tain places and institutions in the great
metropolis-thus the young woman from
Indianapolis, when she termed Trafalgar
Square "a nightmare with the window
| open. "-London New Age.

OMAHA. June %. 1909.

OMAHA. June %, 1903.
Wheat was nervous at the start on lower
cables, which caused q temporary setback.
Good demand offset the early decline and
prices advanced above yesterdays high
mark. Reports Of heavy export business
and wet harvesting weather in the south
were features for the upturn.
Corn is still dull owing to lack OF ship
ping demand. Barring a slight lateness
the condition Of the coming crop Is sX-
cellent. Higher wheat prices and light re-
ceipts sustain values.
Wheat worked higher after a short break
early and advanced over yesterdays bulge.
Sentiment is strongly bullish and values
are expected to gradually work to much
higher levels. Export business Is much
improved.
Corn was steady but unchanged, being
held by the strength In wheat. Crop pros
poets are the best and reports are coming
In more favorable each day. Unless de-
mand picks up prices should decline.
Primary wheat receipts were 2lS, coo. bu.
and shipments we're 10000 bu., against re-
ceipts last year OF i9l 900 bu. and shipments
OF $500 bu.
Corn receipts were 495, 900 bu. and ship
mcnts were 4l7. 600 bu., against receipts last
year Of $500 blu. and shipments OF 623,OOC

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Wet weather Prompts Considerable
Buying of wheat.

CHICAGO, June 26.-wet weather in the
west and southwest prompted considerable
buying of wheat on the Board OF Trade
close prices we're a shade to M@%c higher
than yesterdays final figures. Corn and
oats also closed firm, but provisions were
easy.
The wheat market was strong the entire
day, with the exception of a few minutes
at the start, when prices declined hc to
h41sc, owing to selling based on a break
OF %a1hd at Liverpool. The decline at
Liverpool was a great surprise to the
trade, In view of the advance of more than
&c here the previous session. The market,
however, had recovered from the opening
heaviness before the end of the first half
hour and during the remainder OF the day
sentiment continued bullish. Although the
sharp bulge OF yesterday had temporarily
checked export business. the large volume
OF wheat taken by foreigners the last few
days acted as a a tonic to the market to-
day and the unsettled weather in the har-
vest belt furnished an additional motive
for buying. Thunder storms have prevailed
the last three days throughout much of
the winter wheat belt and the official fore
cast was for continued showery conditions,
The deferred months we're much stronger
than the July delivery and advanced lhc
from the low point of the session, while lie
represented the maximum gain on July,
which sold during the day between Sl15h
and SLl6h. The market closed strong, with
July at $1.16,
The initial break in wheat caused slight
uneasiness in the corn market at the start,
but a finn tone soon developed. The mar
ket closed firm, with prices sc to 1sQ%C
above yesterdays final figures.
Oats were in active demand and the
market was firm all day following slight
weakness at the opening, due to the slump
in wheat. AT the close prices were hQ&C
higher than the previous close.
Provisions were inclined to weakness
Selling of lard was the feature Of trading
the bulk Of the sales being OF a realizing
character. Prices were unchanged to loo
lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
