Quiet-Poor Demand Does
Not Absorb Receipts.

Omaha, April H. 1917
The local cash market was unusually
quiet today and while receipts were con-
siderabIy better the demand was rather
poor and only a small part OF the offerings
were disposed Of
There was hardly enough wheat sold TO
give a definite idea of the trend Of the
market there being only one car Of sample
hard and one car Of No. mixed wheat
reported sold up to noon.
The corn market, while 1t was rather
slow. was much more active than wheat
and there was a pretty fair inquiry for
this cereal at priceH ruling from unchanged
TO NC higher.
White corn sold at a very wide pre-
MUM over the yellow, while yellow corn
sold at a pretty good premium over the
better grades of mixed corn
No, 2. white corn was quoted at *.36'
The better grades of yellow brought from
s132 to $13i and mixed corn ranged in
price from 1923 to sl33h.
Oats was quoted from steady to lsc
lower and the demand for this cereal was
rather slow at the prevailing prices.
Rye and barley were also very QUIET
and these markets were quoted nomnally
unchanged.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to ilJ, 900 bu,: corn, $1,000 bu.; oats, 1900
bu.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Rains in Kansas Have Bearish Effect or
July Wheat.

Chicago, Ill, April ll.-Good rains In the
drought district OF the southwest favored
the wheat bears today as to new crop
months but had little effect on the May
delivery, which was in brisk demand by
millers and at the seaboard Quotations
closed unsettled at s2.08h to 320sE for
May and $l.S0& to Sl.S1 for July. with the
market a whole ranging from 2hc de-
cline TO &c advance. compared with yester-
days finish. Corn lost &c to u and oats
Is q u TO SC In provisions the outcome
varied from SC loss to gains of 12c.
Free selling Of July and September wheat
was in evidence from the outset. News Of
welcome moisture / Kansas and Oklahoma,
with prospects that rain would spread into
Nebraska, Missouri and other parts Of the
winter crop region, tended to produce OPP
timsm as TO the chances of material i'm
provement in field conditions.
Most OF the trade was inclined to believe
that the loss In winter wheat would not be
as heavy as recently indicated. In this
connection some authorities predicted that
the final government report would show a
decided betterment over the April estimate.
Bulls were further handicapped regarding
the new crop months by reports that spring
seeding was under way on both sides OF the
Canadian boundary and was making rapid
progress.
Notwithstanding the lowering Of prices
terests were paying the highest premiums
yet for near by deliveries OF wheat Euro
pean government buyers offered as much as
26c bushel over May al the Gulf OF Mex
leo. How long this urgency would continue
was said to depend largely on the length of
time which must elapse before shipments
could be available through the Great Lakes
Corn reflected the heaviness of July and
September wheat. Trading lacked volume
except for cash corn. Despite heavy selling,
oats were relatively steady on account of a
fair demand by export interests On the
other hand, bears were prophesying the
largest acreage ever known
Packers buying rallied provisions At
first the market was depressed on account
OF material decline in the value of hogs.

CHAMPIONSHIP IF THE COAST LEAGUE
 STILL UNDECIDED
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S.-The struggle for first place in the Pacific Coast Baseball league continues so close between the clubs of San Fran cisco and Los Angeles that any slip on the part of the San F'ranciscans will result in the loss of the lead of the Bay City players. In the series played between these two teams last week the Los Angelans took the extra game, thus lessening the small gap between them by six points.
 Salt Lake City, which up to a few weeks ago was equally in the running for first honors, has been gradually slipping back and appears to have about reached it's level for the time being. The series it played here last trous one, the Salt Lakers being able to win only one of the seven games played
 Portland, leading the teams in the second division, started the week only a short distance behind Salt Lake City, and Manager McCredie can be counted on to make a determined eff fort to break into the upper three.
 Vernon has been hopelessly out of the running for some time, but Oak land still has time to make consider able trouble for the four teams lead ing in the race. Oakland has been playing like a lot of amateurs one week, only to come back the next and play like champions. so rival managers never can tell what is in store for them

CHARM IF PHOENIX HOLDS COUPLE HERE

When Dr. and Mrs. T. B. Reynolds came to Phoenix from Topeka, Kansas, about two weeks ago to visit their daughter, Mrs. E. C. Mason, and incl dentally their son, E. c. Mason, and little Miss Mason, their interest eX- tended only to the welfare of the Ma sons. Now at the conclusion of their visit they announce that they have been so impressed with Phoenix and the Sat hIVer valley they have decided to return to Topeka, close up their af- fairs there and return to Phoenix about January l to make Phoenix their future home.
 'Of course l had heard a whole lot about Phoenix and the Salt River val ley" said Dr. Reynolds yesterday as he announced he was about to return to Topeka to settle his affairs there, but 1 had no idea of just what garden spot you have here. l am going to re- turn here in a few weeks and make Phoenix my future home. l may en- gage in business here. l expect either to enter into partnership with my son. ln-law in the operation of the Rives Pharmacy, or to buy a ranch. I have retired from practice but want to have something to occupy myself"
