figuring on that basis today's trade opened
about . quarter lower Among the early
sales were several bands OF good lambs at

thought packers were trying TO break prices
too much. and were a little cautious about
selling at so sharp a decline, but when
messages showing that similar reductions
were In force elsewhere began coming In
movement livened up and a good clearance
was made before noon. Compared with the
way the few natives that were here Friday
sold, prices were as 70 4oc down, bulk today
bringing 3i0.20n10.30 but, as noted above.
traders conceded that had there been any
rangers here on last weeks close tops
would not have gone over 5000, so figur-
ing on that basis. calling the market q
quarter lower today covers It, moro
definite idea can be gained by quoting
prices 40G50c lower than last Thursday
when the last good range lambs were here.
Some Of tho lambs that brought 1880 to-
day were mates OF the ones that sold AS
high as S10.75 Thursday of last week.
Old sheep were In light supply. and we're
readily bought at steady prices, range ewes
Of a pretty good class bringing T36GIo.
A string Of ., . and 4-year-old ewes sold
for breeding purposes at f7.7b. Feeding
Ia mbs arc more plentiful than last week,
but. in addition TO the regular yard trad
ers several outside buyers we're here. and
demand was sure TO exceed the supply.
Sorting Of strings did not start till rather
late and for that reason no feeders were
offered up to noon, but steady market
was confidently predicted. and good many
traders looked for values to rule little
higher.

Temperatures Are High.

The wheat harvest is practically
over except in the northern portions
of the state, where cutting is we'll to-
ward the finish. Considerable thresh-
ing has been done and it is found
that the wheat is turning out 20 to So
bushels per acre and is practically all
testing No. 2 hard. The grade, taking
the crop as whole, is the highest
that has ever been known. And what
is true of wheat, is also true OF oats.
Where threshing has been done, it is
found that the yield run around forty
bushels to the acre and the quantity
excellent.
An estimate on the condition of the
wheat crop is as follows about all of
the state:

CORN AND WHEAT
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Well Distributed Rains in West
and South Portions Are
Great Benefit.
WHEAT TESTS HIGH GRADE

The Burlington's weekly crop re-
port, compiled from data gathered up
to and including Saturday, indicates
that there has never been time at
this season of the year when Ne
braska crops showed more promise.
The report reiutes the general be-
lief that no RAIN fell in Nebraska last
week, for, with the exception OF over
the Omaha division rams were heavy
and we'll distributed.
The report indicates that the river
counties soa,h of Douglas received
from one t. three inches OF preclpita-
ton, the heaviest beng Ill Otoe
county, where the rainfall was from
two to three inches. On the Lincoln
division, rain was pretty general, the
precipitation being from one-half to
an inch and one-nalf On the Wy
more division heavy rainfall was re-
ported from most of the stations,
while on the east end of the McCook
division rains were general.

ure in the ground, TINS was just what
corn needed, and wonderful growth
resulted, many of the fields beginning
to show tassels. An estimate of the
