GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Situation in Wheat Lends Courage to
Buyers.
PERFECT WEATHER FOR CORN
No Sustained Advance in Maize
Prices Expected without Report
of Actual Crop Damage
sympathy Checks Decline.
OMAHA. June 2. 1911.


The buying side of the wheat market was
the popular thing today on the less favor
able news from the growing winter wheat
crop, although on the whole conditions of
weather and crop promise for the present
at home and abroad are more favorable to
sellers than buyers
Weather conditions over the entire corn
belt are almost perfect and much of the
markets strength has been borrowed from
the advance in wheat. 1t looks as II Il
would take crop damage complaints to give
any sustained advance in values.
The wheat advanced steadily and made
new high points. The buying sentiment
was continued from yesterday. Cash wheat
advanced &c.
There was a little easier tone in the corn
on fine weather and crop reports, but the
strength in wheat checked the decline.
Cash corn was hc higher.
Primary wheat receipts were 100000 bu.
ana shipments we're 2Q 900 bu., against
receipts last year Of $4,000 bu. and ship
Primary corn receipts were 1.OS9.OOO bu.
and shipments were $4,000 bu., against re-
of $4,000 blu.
Clearances were 1900 bu of corn, 8, 300 bu,
OF oats, and wheat and flour equal - 56
900 bu.

THE FRUGAL ARABS.
They Live on Two Simple Meals Of
Bread and Dates a Day.


Bread and Dates a Day.
The daily routine OF the Arab IS sim
pie and we'll ordered. He Is up with
the daybreak and as soon as possible
loads his camels: then he rides for
some four or FIVE hours before he has
his first morning meal; then he Is OF
again until late in the afternoon, when
a halt is made for the night. Supper
usually consists of warm bread. with
an onion or dates as a relish. Bread
is prepared in as simple manner as
possible. While the coarse -four and
water are being kneaded into dough a
large fire Is made. which provides a
good heap Of hot ashes. On part OF
these the fattened dough is laid. then
covered with the remainder Of the
ashes.
In about fifteen minutes the dough
is sufficiently baked. 1t is then we'll
beaten to free it from ashes, broken In
pieces and divided among those who
from their bags have contributed the
meal After the evening feast coffee
is made by some member Of the party
and. poured out into tiny cups, is SOL
EMMY handed around to each one.
Dates often take the place Of bread
in Arabia. There are many varieties.
and the composition Of the date does
not differ so very much from that OF
bread. Fat is lacking in both. but
this is supplied by the butter churned
in skin bags suspended from tripod
and shaken or rolled on the ground

A Russians First Encounter With
English In London.
A Russian tells funny story Of his
first encounter with the English Ian
guage.
The day after his arrival in London
he made a call on a friend in Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
notebook what he supposed to be the
correct address.
The next day. desiring to go to the
same place again. he called cabman
and pointed to the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked him
over, cracked his whip and drove away
without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen. the Rus
sian turned Indignantly to the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh. another would tap alis
head and make a motion initiating the
revolution of a wheel, and so on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave 1t
up and with a great deal Of difficulty.
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before. found his way
to his friends house. Arrived there
and In company with one who could
understand him. he delivered himself
of severe condemnation Of the cab
men and the police Of London for their
impertinence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for a look at the
mirth provoking address and the mys.
terry was solved. This was the entry:
