cATTLE-owlng to the severe snow
storm trains were very late IN arriving
at the yards this morning and receipts OF
cattle were correspondingly light. still
there were reports that there were quite
a good many cattle back and before the
close OF the day there was a fair showing
OF stock In the yards
Owing 10 the late arrival OF train men
TONED above there were hardly enough
cattle In sight tn make q market when
the usual time for the trade to open ar
rived. Packers seemed 10 want a few
good stllers and as rule bought the
more desirable kinds quite freely. paying
prices that were steady TO n little
stronger. Here and there II was possible
10 find a salesman who thought that he
got little better prices than at last
weeks close. There was nothing very
choice IN sight to make much Of top
Cows and heifers commanded prices
ranging anywhere from steady TO little
stronger than last week and the bulk OF
the arrivals changed hands IN very fair
season In the morning p'EW
As usual when n severe storm n raging
the demand for feeding cattle was not
overly brisk. as Spectators were not In
cllned 10 load up with cattle during the
storm and country demand was very
light. The best feeding steers commanded
about steady prices, but the market was
slow one on the best grades and COM
mon and Inferior stuff was not only slow,
but the tendency n little easier, owing to
the fact that no one was looking for that
kind.

new YORK STOCK MARKET
Roosevelt's Announcement Regarded
Unfavorably by Street.
ENGLISH STRIKE HAS INFLUENCE
Markets. Movements During. Early
Part Of session Retarded by Posi-
biiity OF Adverse Decision
In Reading Case.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-Two factors
stood out most prominently in connection
with the reactionary tone OF today's
stock market These were Colonel Roose-
in England. The financial district was
hardly surprised at the ex-president's
announcement, but seemed disposed to
place an unfavorable construction upon
II, though a short time ago II was sup
posed 10 regard his possible candidacy
with no little favor.
During the early part of the session the
markets movements were retarded by
the possibility of an adverse decision by
the United states supreme court In the
long-delayed Reading coal case. Ground
for further encouragement vas found
IN the statements Of the western rail-
road managers who reported serious IN
terruption TO traffic during the last week
by reason OF the severe weather. Under
these circumstances il was not to be
wondered that the market moved with
practically no impulse, even though i'm
portant financial interests were quoted
as declaring that fundamental conditions
are steadily improving. This statement
was borne out in a measure by tho Calu-
met and Hecla directors who declared u
quarterly dividend OF S as against the
preceding payment OF % per share. The
passing o; the division OF the Republic
and steel combination was announced

OF the more active stocks Reading
was weakest, declining to the lowest
level since the latter part of January.
Southern Pacific was but slightly influ-
eneed by n supreme court decision az
fectlng It's lead holdings. Canadian Pa
cific displayed greater heaviness than any
other high class issue, its early decline

selling. presumably for Berlin account.
In the group OF specialties the Central
Leather preferred, Federal Mining. Cen
eral Motors and the tobacco issues all
showed pronounced weakness. Sears-Roe-
buck, almost alone OF It's class. was strong
after some early heauness. The market
closed dull and with little change In the
more active issues.
London's operations here were on the
selling side, aggregating about 1000

market.

trait Of the hog market. Badly delayed
stock trains, due to the blizzard yester-
day and last night. left supply figures In

this condition In turn produced an I'M

mates gave receipts at AGO head. and as
only a part OF this total was available

OMAHA. Fehruary a. lgls.

| OMAHA. February u, 1917
Wheat traders were more mixed on the
trend OF the market owing to the sharp
recovery In values during the latter part
OF last week. Leaders in the northwest
were more positive that their receipts
would decrease from now on, and the
trade In general is looking forward to a
very bullish report on reserves by the
government March report.
There is also the probability Of more or
less crop damage news in store for the
next few weeks and bulls will undoubtedly
be very aggressive on the buying side at
every opportunity.
Weather conditions over the corn belt
are anything bit favorable to the mar
ketlnS OF corn. Heavy profit taking
lately by leading longs has left the mar
ket In safe position. The cash demand
from the south and east is still active.
Farm reserve stocks are very low and
values should climb steadily higher.
Sentiment in wheat was more bullish as
the advance from recent declines has been
We'll sustained. Traders are inclined to
look for better prices. Cash wheat was
unchanged.
The action OF the corn market was dis
appointing in face OF the rough weather
all over the belt. There was nothing Sig
nifieant in the days trading. Cash corn
was unchanged.
Primary wheat receipts were ~. 900
bushels and shipments We're 2iS,Oo0 BUSH
els. against receipts last year OF 47a0oo
bushels and shipments OF $4,000 bushels.
Primary corn receipts were 10000
bushels and shipments were $4,000 BUSH

bushels and shipments OF $4,000 bushels.
Clearances were 6o6.e9 bushels of corn,

Prices ON Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. Feb @.-Heavy stocks OF
wheat pulled down prices today and
again each successive advance was met
py Increased selling. The close was steady
but suAc 10 he lower than Saturday.
Among wheat SPECTATORS the decisive
factor OF tins day appeared TO be the
sfowness with which shippers and millers
maze an impression on the United states
visible supply. The total showed that the
Ialiing Oft Tor the week amounted TO
much less than at the corresponding
tune year ago. In this connection
special notice was given the fact that
the store on hand In Minneapolis had
