q year ago, while Omaha received $500
less than week ago and 1900 less
than year ago. The first four days Of
this week the eleven points received
$4,000 more than a week ago and 90
600 more than a year ago.
Cattle.
Cattle, too. were much more numer-
Gus than had been expected
1t has been an uneven market all
week on most classes, and especially on
the plain light stuff, which increased
in proportion on late days. The latter
grade of steers are closing largely so
cents lower than late last week, but
there Wee extreme instances where
sellers quoted as much as Is cents de-
cline from the high spot last Friday
and Saturday.
Local receipts were estimated at
$4,000, being below expectations. more
than twice as large as on last Thurs
day and around 5000 larger than q year
ago. Thus far this week 63,500 arrived,
or around $4,000 more than in the same
period last week when railroad service
was tied up by snowdrfts in country
districts. and over 1000 more than the
corresponding four days n year ago.
Six outside western markets had co.
600 today. Adding the Chicago supply,
seven markets We're credited with 34,-
900, or 1000 more than week ago and
5000 more than on the corresponding
Thursday a year ago. Combined ar
rivals for the week to date .totaled
$1,000, or 10000 more than the same
period last week and $4,000 more than
the corresponding time a year ago.
Sheep.
There was only a slow tra dc in sheep
as buyers held back until all the supply
had been unloaded.

Chicago, Jan. Observation-Disclosures
by the strength IN oats and forecast
for SHOWS and much colder weather,
corn ruled steady and gained about %
to " for the day. Trading IN the Janu-
uary delivery was stopped and settle
ment price Of sl28 fixed by the direc-
tors. Practically all Of the railroads
have raised their embargos on ship
ments OF grain to Chicago but receipts
count Of shortage Of corn. Values in
the sample market were about un
changed at the close altho the market
had rather firm undertone.
Oats-New high levels We're regis
tered in both the future and sample
markets. Light receipts, bids from
seaboard, covering heavy shorts and
buying by shippers were the bullish
factors. The country sold a fair guam
tity Of No. 8 white oats for sixty days
shipments on the basis Of Az cents
over Chicago May. Omaha reported
sales to the gulf yesterday on basis
price for moro.
Stocks-stock market more active
today, with selectIve buying and spec
!alty trading the feature. Such issues
advanced to new high levels for the
year The belief that forthcoming
legislation will be more favorable to
railroads and the announcement late
in the day Of the appointment Of a
leading expert engineer to the position
Of surveyor general Of the trunk lines

BUYING IN SMALL
LOTS LIFTS CORN
MARKET RALLIES AFTER INITIAL
SHOW OF WEAKNESS DUE TO
PEACE TALK.
TRADING IN JANUARY
DELIVERY DISCONTINUED
Of Car Scarcty-Prices Advance in
Big Receipts Of Hogs Force Decline
in Provisions Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 25.--Persistent buy ing
in small lots rallied the corn market to-
day after initial weakness. The fact
that trading in January delivery had
been ordered stopped received bull
ISL construction in some quarters. In
itial declines appeared to be connect
ed with peace talk. Opening prices
which ranged from u and q tols cent
lower with March at sl.26 and May at
Sl.24R, were followed by an upturn
all around to we'll above yesterdays
finish.
Forecasts OF a cold wave and con-
siderable snow led to additional gains
later, especially as oats had mounted
to the highest figures yet this season.
Prices closed unsettled. 4 to "a and p
cent net higher, with March at s1.26S
and May at $125 to S1.251s.
Oats.
Compla ints of car scarcity gave
flrmncss to oats. After opening a
shade off to % cent higher with May
at 77% to IS and 7S,s, the market con-
tinued to harden.
Provisions.
Big receipts Of hogs forced down
provision prices.

HIDE MARKET OFF.
Demoralized Condition Results From
Variety of Causes.

The hide market has been in some
what of a demoralzed condition the
past week with large sales Of packer
hides thirty days in salt at II to IS
cents, or 4 or cents lower than a week
ago This has had a demoralizing eff
feet on country stock and when offers
are made on this class of stock it is
at very low prices. Some figures in
the middle west have been made for
full cured thirty days sailed No.
hides ut IA to Is cents, with the usual
reduction for No. 2. This puts green
hides at prices equivalent to II and IL
cents. Lack of transportation, fuel
shortage, and the five-day closing order
with all Mondays included in this, have
brought an Indifferent feeling and no
disposition to trade.

How "FooIscap" Originated.

Several explanations have been
given of the meaning Of the word
"foolscap" as applied to certain
class of paper. One of the eXplana-
tons is that when Charles found
his revenue short he granted GER
tain privileges, amounting to mo-
nopolies, and among these was the
manufacture of paper, the exclu-
sive right to which was sold to
certain parties, who grew rich and
enriched the government at the ex-
pense of those who were obliged to
use the paper. At this time all Eng
lish paper bore, in watermarks, the
royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made a jest of this law,
and among other indignities to the
memory of Charles it was ordered
that the royal arms be removed from
the paper and a FOOLS cap and bells
be substituted. These we're in their
turn removed when the Rump parlia-
ment was dismissed, but paper for the
size of the parliament's journal still
bears the name of "fOolscap."

SEEMING CHANGES IN COLORs
Why Long Exposure of the Retina to
the Action of Red Rays Creates
an Optical Illusion.

1t is well known that when a ray
of white light is analysed, as by a
prism, it is found to be composed of
seven cOlorS, the sO-called cOlors of
the spectrum-red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and viOlet-and
that when the colors of the spectrum
are recOmbined white light reappears.
If, however, we eliminate the red rays
and then recOmbine the remaining six
colOrs, we obtain the so-called COM
Elementary color of the red, namely,
GrCen. If we eliminate the green
rays the remaining rays will give red
light, and so on with the other COM
Elementary colors, orange and blue,
yellow and violet. Now, if the retina
has been fatigued through being eX-
posed too long to the action of red
rays, it will be susceptible only to the
remaining six colors, and the eye,
when Immediately struck by the white
light, will. receive the impression of
the complementary green color! Many
other influences are based upon the
same principle. Thus, when looking
for a long time through blue spec
tacles, Immediately after their removal
all objects will appear yellow. When
the retina has been irritated from gaz-
ing at red fireworks the gay flames
will look greenish after their eXtinc-
ton.
