Rsinin Spring Wheat Belt Puts End
to Dry Weather Talk.
WINTER REPORTS CONFLICTING
Crop Reports Are Uniformly Favor
able over Corn BeIt-Tempera-
tuEes Are Lower and Good
Rains Have Fallen.
OMAHA. June u. 1911.


Wheat had weaker tone today, rains in
the spring wheat belt have been sufficient
TO end the dry weather talk from that
gu rte for come time to come; Reports
but on the whole big crop Is being con-
ceded. Free Canadian wheat in the near
future is another reasonable bearish fea-
turn and hedging sales OF new wheat will
be heavy. Natural influences are on the
side OF the short sellers.
Temperatures over the corn belt are
lower and fairly good rains have been re-
ported and crop reports are uniformly
favorable. The country movements con-
tinues large while cash values are declining
daily.
Rains and cooler temperatures gave
wheat an easier tone, selling by longs on
more favorable conditions being the feature
Cash wheat ruled unchanged to nc lower.
Corn followed wheat and eased off in
face OF some good support on the break

SHEEP-Receipts today were very hsnt,
only three cars Of common shorn lambs
being reported In. There was really not
enough on sale TO make a market and
about all that could be said about the
trade is to quote II as nomlnally steady
with yesterday. Receipts have been very
fair this week. being about on a par with
one week ago but a little lighter than a
year ago. AS already noted In these coll
unins there has been a decided change In
the character of the receipts. For the first
time this season grass stock has arrived
In sufficient numbers to cut big figure
in the trade At the same time there has
been, as usual at this season OF the year,
a sharp falling off In fed stock The fact
is the receipts Of fed stock have been linz
tied largely to odds and ends, mostly old
ewes with spring lambs. As the first grass
ers TO arrive ON the market are never any
too good and as the cleanup or Feed lots
always brings In undesirable stock Il fol-
lows that receipts this week have averaged
very low In quality.
The demand mas Deen as good as could

FOUND NUDE IN LAKE.
Dead Body of Missing Annie Lember.
ger Is Recovered.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 9.-The nude
body of 7-year-old Annie I.enberger,
who was kidnapped after going to bed
at the home of her parents. Mr. and
Mrs Martin Lemberger, last Tuesday
night, was found today in Lake Mon
cna, mile from her home.
Superficial examination of the body
disclosed no evidence of violence be-
yond a slight laceration of one ear and
a discoloration on the neck, the latter
mark indicating that the child may
have been strangIed. The body was
found by George Younger. a cement
worker living at South Madison and
was brought to an undertaking room
in this city.
No weights. were on the body nor
were the hands or feet bound in any
way. The only motive for the murder
as far as the case has developed seems
to be revenge on her parents by some
enemy at present unknown The child
" ent to sleep with an elder sister Tues
day night last. On Wednesday morning
the younger girl was missing from bed,
an open window in the room gave the
first intima ton that she mad been kid
naped.
Younger who found the body will
receive the $500 reward offered by the
city council.

AS a result of a neighborhood row

a well known farmer, is laid up with

Startup is under arrest charged with
assault with intent to kill The trou-
Bile started when Startup's cattle

peared in person with a protest.
While Owens was driving to Ross
vile yesterday, Startup met him on
the highway. He greeted his neigh
Dor with both barrels from a shot
gun and a moment later reloaded his
gun and fired again. Owens stopped
about half of the shot with his arm.
