GRAIN And PRODUCE
Receipts Of ALI Grains Light
and the Cash Market
Is Slow.
PRICES REMAIN STEADY

Omaha. March 2s, 1917.
Receipts Of all grains were very light
today and as result the trade in the
local cash market was rather slow.
Wheat was firm at unchanged prices
and the demand for this cereal was ex-
celient at the prevailing market prices.
The local demand for wheat, however, was
confined mainly to the better grades of
hard winter and while there were only
a few samples OF off grade wheat on the
table, they were not much IN demand and
most OF these samples were carried over.
The market for No 2 hard wheat was
quoted around s405. No. hard at 1901
Q2.04h and few sales OF No. hard
were made at prices ruling around 1913
to f?.o2.
The corn market was comparatively ac-
tive. with prices quoted from steady 10 nc
higher No. ? white and No. yellow sell
ms pretty close around yesterdays market
while the No. q grades OF white and yellow
and the No. 2 mixed sold at NC advance
over yesterdays price. The better grades
Of white and yellow corn were quoted at
fI.17 mixed corn ranged from s1.ibh to
s1.17 and few cara Of No. mixed
brought tI.14M Oils.
The oats market was very active and the
bulk of the offerings sold at steady prices.
Standard oats was quoted at G3Hc. No. 3
white brought 62k @63c. No. 4 white sold
at 62ac and the sample white brought
from 62hc to G2i4c.
Inc receipts OF rye ana barley were un-
important and, AZ there were no sale re-
ported In either Of these markets. prices
on both Of these articles were quoted monty
naly unchanged
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
10 475.000 bushels.
Primary wheat receipts were 10000
bushels and shipments $4,000 bushels.

To begin with, the lirn was cut en-
tirely through by some sharp object.
An inside patch was applied by the
owner, but he neglected to have the
patch removed and permanent repair
made Mt the first opportunity. This
temporary patch has gradually pulled
away from the position 1t originally
held and has been forced through the

an outside emergency band should also
be applied, but both removed as quick

If this country does not become more or

times OF war it can do so in times of peace

prices of coal and other necessities in the
future will be regulated by the government
as will the price paid to the miners for
handling the Goals and if the alleged own

under such conditions then the government
will assume absolute control of them

good as it possibly could be, taking all
things into consideration If many copies

NEGRO SOLDIERS RETALIATE

Negro soldiers always run amuck in the
South, but are always ideal soldiers in the
North. Just how such bad men in the
South can suddenly become such good men
in the North and vice versa is the perplex-
ing question to thoughtful minds No one
has ever heard Of colored soldiers shooting
up Northern towns, near which they hap
pened to be encamped, and they would not
shoot up a Southern town, near which they
happened to be encamped, if the whites in
the southern towns did not first provoke
soldiers have been in Texas they have been
objects Of abouse on the part of the white
citizens and it has been taken to such
point that the wonder is that those black
boys in blue did not throw off all moral
restraint and proceed against the whites
on the principal of, "as we'll die with chill
as the fever,' and start in to revenge the
wrongs perpetrated upon them from time
to time regardless Of what the aftermath
would be- Human nature, whether in a
black, white, red or yellow hide will stand
just so much and then it will rise up in
all of it's might and assert it's rights and
that is just what happened down at Hous-
ton, Texas, the other day when the Negro
Soldiers Run Amuck as said an Associate
Press head line.
The row in Houston, Texas, in which two
colored soldiers and fifteen white citizens
lost their lives, had it's origin in the damn
able colorphobia of the white men of that
city against black men appearing in any
other garb save that of menial and a
trucking. The colored soldiers were OBJ
jects of abuse rather than as defenders of
the country as seen by those white citizens
They were imposed upon by the police and
denied every right accorded the ordinary
dog and their superior officer lectured them
from time to time to grin and bear it as
they would be sure to get the worst of it
if they resented the dirty insults repeatedly
heaped upon them. No wonder in their
rage they threatened to even do personal
violence to the major of the BATTALION who
had from time to time in the past lectured
the men to not resent those insults That
the recent Houston outbreak on the part
Of the colored soldiers was nothing more
nor less than a repetition of the Browns
vile affair and that both Of them can be
attributed to the intolerance of the south
ern white man toward the black man in
any capacity save that Of bowling and scrap
ing to him and permitting him to cuff him
about at pleasure and not dare resent it.

are frothing at the mouth about the ''nig-

D. Carter to the leading lights of the
National Baptist Convention, which
convenes in Muskogee Oklahoma next
Wednesday. Dr. Carter says: "Noth-

There will be in the neighborhood of
5000 in attendance to that conven-
tlCn and while two hundred COPIES
will not go far toward letting the
delegates see and read for them
selves, yet judiciously distributed
they will do world Of good toward
attracting colored families to the
Northwest. In the East the only
news colored folk get of the North
west is by grape vine dispatches,
which is not always very reliable, but
in this the cold facts are set forth
and it would not be out of place if
every colored family in the city would
mail a copy to- an Eastern friend.
The number is all ready for mailing
and it takes four cents to send it
