Instead of combating the rate case,
heard Thursday before the railroad
commission meeting in Pensacola, the
Southern Bell Telephone Company
asked the commissions consent to
meet every request presented by
Secretary Phillips, of the Chamber
of Commerce, and went him one bet
ter and voluntarily offered to lower
the duplex rates by twelve and half
per cent.
The official findings of the COM
mission viii not be announced for
several weeks, but with both sides
asking the same thing. there is no
doubt but that the decision will be
for the plaintiff.
In brief, the telephone company
asked:
1. To establish one-price rate
for the entire city, for the same SER
vice, instead Of charging according to
mileage.
2. To make all the rates uet, in
stead of gross, everybody receiving
the benefit of the discount which is
offered now only to those who pay
by the 10th of the month.
3. To reduce the price Of party
lines from s2.25 to 81.
The new rates viii be effective be-
ginning February /.
Pensacola Saves Over $4,000.
The flat rates on residence phones
win mean a saving Of $1,000 to PEN
sacolians year; the reduction on
party lines will swell the account an
other 81 900. About 157 subscribers a
month do not settle their bills before
the tenth, and the removal Of the 50
cent penalty viii mean about $500
year. IF collections are not made
with reasonable promptness, it is
said, phones viii simply be re-
moved
The principal ones to benefit ara
the residents Of the remote sections
of the city Instead Of paying $4.25
for a one-party phone, they win pay
only $3.50

: Sheep--Wooled lambs In the course OF an
other phenomenal week, just about dupli-
Gated the upturn scored a week ago. There
is really no way to describe the market ex-
ocpt to say that the top at this weeks close,
$500, Is an oven $t.20 higher than the best
price paid last Friday. This would indl-
cate that the market " close to $t.2b up for
the week Tho supply has been light all
week, several days only three or four cars
Of good wooded lambs being offered, and
under the Influence OF good packing outlet
prices have simply advanced by leaps and
bounds or the western markets Omaha led
the procession all week, local prices being
actually higher than Chicago figures on
several occasions, New. records were es-
tablished every day and have become az
common as dirt. The current high mark Is
1910 higher than three weeks ago, and is
1856 higher than was ever before paid in
May.
The market for clippers has not advanced
quito so rapidly as wooled prices, hut at
that II shows an upturn OF between 7bc and
sl.00. Lambs weighing elghty-four pounds,
very well finished, OF course, sold TO slb2b
on the close" as against quotable top OF
sii.bo a week ago. Old sheep In the shorn
class, while not up as much as lambs are
sharply higher, the advance amounting to
5o@75c. Ewes sold as high as sl2,25, and
on the close can safely be quoted to si2,5o
week ago a very choice kind was selling
at s11,s5. Quite a few plain to medium
ewes have been included In the offerings
these selling at $li.0O9l175.
Since midweek there have been no sprinl
lambs OF real good quality here. Tuesda,
prime natives sold up to sl775, and at pres
ent a top Of $500 is being quoted.

WHEAT SCARS HERE,
OUT OF MAY OPTION
Cash Advances Ten to Four
teen Cents Per Bushel on
Millers' Demand; Chi
cago Ban Anticipated.

Prices on cash wheat on the Omaha
Grain exchange went soaring yester-
day. The price advanced 10 to IA
cents a bushel.
Receipts were forty-three carloads
and the offerings brought 1888 to
$345 a bushel, with the demand ex-
ceedng the supply. Nearly every
thing was taken by millcrs in Omaha
trade territory
There was a greater advance in the
July option than in the cash. Friday
| night it closed at $255 and Saturday
it opened at $2.55. 1t soon sold up
to $279, the high point of the day,
The Chicago July option Friday
night closed at S2.49M, opened this
morning at $2.49H and sold up to
S27l.
The fact of Omaha prices on July
being 8 to 9 cents over Chicago is
said to be due primarily to the heavy
demand by milers.
Corn failed to share the advance
with wheat, though it sold up a cent,
going to $l.60 to $l.65 bushel, with
ninety-two carloads on the market.
Oats were up a to u cents bushel
and sold at 7lM to 721l cents, with
the receipts thirty-five carloads.
Omaha Traders Clear.
The fact OF the Chicago Board OF
Trade fixing $3l8 a bushel as the
basis for the settlement of trades in
May wheat did not cause a ripple oi
excitement on the floor Of the Omaha
Grain exchange,
Ten days ago members of the
Omaha exchange anticipated a wide
fluctuation in May, and at that time
ceased trading in the option. Terms
of settlement were agreed upon and
all trades were closed at and around
s. a bushel.
As a result, yesterday when in Chi
cago there was scramble of the
shorts to cover, Omaha grain traders
were in the clear. Barton Mi.,ard,
president of the Omaha Grain ex-
change, said.
"The action of the Chicago Board
of Trade has had no effect here. Few
if any, of our traders have been
caught short. We anticipated the
situation and the prospect of high
prices and / am of the opinion that
every trade in May wheat was closed
fully ten days ago. Two weeks age
most of our people quit tradinr in
the May option and ten days ago al
of the deals were closed. l think
everybody is in the clear.
There was no hunch given to any.
one, but, on the other hand, we con.
cluded that the option was high
enough and got out"

Russian Thieves Haze
Mass Meet to Reform;
Bystander Loses Purse

Petrograd, May l2.-(Via Lon
don), May 11.-A mass meeting
of thieves was recently held at
Rostoff on the Don to demand a
share in the new freedom and a
chance to turn over new leaf.
The chief of the local militia
and the president and several
members of the council of work
mems and soldiers deputies were
present on invitation.
Practically all branches of the
profession of thievery were rep
resented and several of the most
accomplished members made
speeches, in which they outlined
the difficulties confronting them
and declared that it was impos-
sible to return to honest pursuits
without help and support of the
community.
The speakers complained that
recently the population had risen
against them, and in some in
stances went so far as to lynch
some of their brothers.
Chief of Militia Ralmikoff ask
ed for help and support by the
people in aiding the efforts of the
thieves at reformation.
One of the bystanders COM
planned that he had been relieved
of his purse containing six rubles.
The thieves roundly protested
that it was not the work of pro-
fessional and took up collection
to reimburse the victim.

Scandinavian Nations Will

Stockholm (Via London), May r..
An official announcement in regard
to the result OF three days confer
ence by Swedish, Danish and Norwe-
gian ministers says that the conferees
determined unanimously that the
three countries should maintain a pol
icy of impartial neutrality. The an
uoncement says:
"As before, the ministers aban-
doned the idea of taking the initia-
tive themselves, or in consort iwth
other neutrals, with view to media
ton between the belligerents or other
measures to the same end.
"The conference opined that col
laboration should be established with
other neutrals to safeguard common
interests to the end Of the war, or
after, including the interests that neu-
trails will have in the work which pre-
sumably will be undertaken in estab-
fishing principles of international law

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Extraordinary Jump in July Wheat Features
Opening.


Chicago May l2.--stoppage of trading in
the May delivery of wheat did not long
delay fresh advances in the price Of other
options. Although the market at first
showed material declines on account OF lack
Of support buying was soon resumed In
sufficient quantities TO make quotations
jump In the same extraordinary fashion that
has Of late kept the wheat pit in a tur-
mol, July delivery leaped up 1Sc to $26s
as against s2,t6@2.49h at tho opening and
compared with $s.4a& Q2,b0A at yester-
days finish Meanwhile September scared
to s2,27, a rise OF 9@10c over night.
The immediate reason for the big new
| advance was the issuance of an official
statement by the board, which was con-
strued In some quarters as indicating that
| the supply and demand situation was even
moro bulllsh than had been generally as
sumed.
II was said the entente allies were large
holders of July and September contracts,
and presumably as in regard to May, would
| insist on delivery of the wheat that the
contracts called for. Lack Of offerings and
| continued demand characterized the rapid
bulge In values. In the late dealings July
went to $e.75, rise OF 99c from opening
figures September ascended ,32c TO s2,46
