SUNDAY.
CATTLE-There was the usual satur.
days dearth of cattle. there being no
fresh receipts, and for that matter no
other cattle OF any importance on sale.
Ihe receipts for the week have been very
weeks and with year ago.
Beef steers under the influence of
heavy receipts and lower prices at east
the week and are now anywhere from
steady to 100 15c lower than the close of
last week the amount OF the decline
depending upon the kind and quality of
Cows and heifers have been pretty good
sellers throughout the week, but they
too. have eased off a little, being any
week ago. The demand has been good
most days and the offerings of that
class OF cattle quite large. still the mar
ket has been in a good, healthy condi-
ton.

HoGS-SuppIies were fair for a satur-
day, 102 cars. or 6,96S head being reported.
This winds up the biggest week In al
most year. the six days total of s.. 40
head being 1880 larger than last week,
and a gain of more than 20O0 over the
corresponding week Of last year.
Chicago wound up one of the largest
weeks In years with another heavy run,
and the resulting break at that point
served packers as an excuse for taking
another dime off the local trade, Move.
ment was DUH from start to finish and
sellers took their time about cutting loose
in hopes Of getting better prices, but early
offers failed TO improve and the big end
OF the offerings moved at figures that
were fully dime lower than yester-
days average. Quality of hodays re-
eeipts was not 90 good as yesterday. AS
was the case on every other day this
week, the movement was STOW. and it
was well along towards noon before any
sort OF clearance had been made.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prfces on BOARD of Trade.

Prtcea on Board OF Traaes
CHICAGO. Jan. e.-Rumors that the
United States might put an embargo on
breadstuffs and that the Dardanelles were
likely to be forced proved grim bogies
today for owners Of wheat. As conse-
ouence the market, after violent changes,
closed half demoralized at PIC 10 2stc un-
der last night. Other leading staples, too.
showed a setback-corn sc to NC net, oats
sc to MQlc and provisions &c to T1HqlOc.
Wheat made a bewildering drop of more
than &c a bushel in the first few minutes
Of trading, influenced chiefly by nervous
hess in regard to talk OF an attempt to
get congress to prohibit the outbound
Shipment of wheat and flour and the like
from the United States, on the ground
that scarcity of domestic supplies was
threatened. Panicky offerings Of wheat,
however, quickly passed into strong
hands, and when sellers partly recovered
from their fright and tried to buy back
they found that the surplus in the pit had
virtually disappeared.
On a swift upturn that carried the mar
ket slightly above last nights figures,
confidence was in a measure re-estab-
lished by developments that exporters and
American millers had been buying and
that bids from Great Britain and the At
lantic seaboard were the highest yet Of
fered since the beginning of the war The
fever to sell, though, broke out anew just
before the end OF the day, but with no
better reason apparently than vague
guesses about the chances of the war af-
fording an outlet for Russian wheat
through the Dardanelles.
There was a slight increase OF rural
offerings of wheat today.
Corn maintained relative strength in the
face OF the wheat smash. There were as
sertions that the Dutch government had
bought 10000 bushels of corn today in this
country, and that England was also buy
ing. Foreign and home demand for oats
was good and prevented oats from any
startling depression with wheat
Milwaukee packers were sellers of pro-
visions. The market was also bearishly
affected by the outlook for large receipts
OF hogs next week

OMAHA. Jan. 9. 1915
For several days a new high level has
been made in the wheat pit Yesterday
the May future crossed the S1.1A level.
Millions of bushels were thrown into the
big pit by those having profits, and this
grain failed to reappear. Foreigners again

delivery.
To show the manner in which foreigners
followed the advances, St. Louis was up
8d4c per bushel for cash, Duluth durum
was up &c, Winnipeg reported sales of
wheat there at the highest price on the
crop and Minneapolis parted with some
New York reported sales to the United
kingdom at an advance of s cents for
the day and Jules Barnes, who was here
from Duluth, reported sales OF a cargo
of durum wheat at 500 c. T. Z. Italy,
which is equal TO an advance OF nc from
Wednesday.
The, premiums paid for cash wheat over
the futures showed continued strength,
and the business here was 10000 bushels,
of which 10000 bushels were to millers
and 10000 bushels to exporters Kansas
City reported sales there OF wheat to, go
to Oklahoma and Texas, and Minneapolis
reported the sale of 100000 bushels out

SI1EEP-There were a few heavy
lambs yarded this morning, but NOT
enough to make a market
This week has been featured by more
than normal receipts and the aggregate
OF receipts at all market points shows
an Increase over a week ago and a year
ago. Locally, Monday started out with
1900 head on sale and the market was
fully 10000 lower, with the most decline
on the medium and heavy grades OF
lambs. However. all but ten cars out OF
100 offered sold at that decline which
showed that the demand was good for
this time of the year. On each day fol-
lowin Monday the receipts have been on
the liberal order, yet sellers have been
able to recover all OF the loss sustained
on the first day Of the week, and then
some. On Friday. the high time of the
week. trade closed around 2504Oc higher
on lambs than at the opening of tho
week and 1016c better on aged sheep
