THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Wheat Opens the Day Under De- preesing Conditions. Pe CORN OPENS UNDER SATURDAY. Cattle Trading Slow and the Market Unsettled--Too Many Texas Cate tle in Sight—General Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARREL. Cmicaco, June 18.—[Special Telegram to Wane r—The morning session d did not begin until 10:50 to-day and at the time when local traders were standing about waiting for the opening it was difficult to find one of them who wanted to buy wheat—indeed to find one who did not believe that prices was going straight down a cent or two, They did not argue from any news received but from the belief that the longs were completely demoralized and would throw their whneat over as soon as possible. ‘With this disposition in the local crowd it was not to be wondered at that July wheat opened 3ge below Saturday’s close and the nest quotation was still Jgc lower. This, however, proved to be the bottom. It was noticed that Hutchinson was a buyerand Cudahy's brokers we taking wheat. The moment the market became steady the senti- ment of local traders chaneed, The buying just mentioned effectually dam- pened their ardor, and indeed the smaller shorts were the most eager buyers. From the bottom price the market advanced hin 10 minutes and a full cent in twice t time. But here Hutchinson was a tremendous seiler and there was a halt and a slight casing off, and later when the disappointing fizures of the visible supply statement were known a break oceurred of about }de. There was a speedy reaction and fluctuations thercafter were kept within a 3¢ range and the close for July wheat was 1g¢ under the closing price of Sature Trading was large and secmed to be quite general, and there, was noticeable good buying of August by Jones, Kennett & Hopkins, Murray, Nelson Ac Co. and Schwartz & Dupee, and of July by Cud- ahy. Hutchinson was the heavi seller. The decrease of 532,000 bushels was about half what was expected, and was a_weaken- ing factor, while the bears made the most they could outof the reported receipts of some new wheat in St. Lu\lm The receipts at primary markets were larger and exports only fair. On she other hand there were some rumors from St. Lows of rust in wheat. New York reported some export in- quiry although bidding was under the mar- ket and some cables said the weather in Great Britain was cold. Moreover corn showed some strength or rather failed to de- velope the great weakness which was feared and expected, and this was a help to wheat. July wheat opened at 8¢ fluctuated between that and 80{c for a little, then advanced to 8137c, feil to Slig@s1igc, improved to 815c, dropped to_ 81¢, advanced to sIg@silse and closed at 1o'clock at S1lj@s1ie. De- cember wheat opened at 83j¢c, advancad to S50 and closed at 843 The course of the corn market was a sur- prise to the bears, There had been a con- fident expectation that all the long corn would be for sale this morning. That appears to have beena mistake. Thesentiment, how- ver, wus strong enough to open the ma nearly lc under the close of Saturday, but the opening prices were nearly the lowest of the session. There was no great pressure to and_shorts wi busy realizing their profits. With a steady market the believers in corn were relieved from the fearof a panic and could act upon their convictions as 10 the actual situation. Cables were ecasier on corn, but there were five loads taken for export 'at New York to-day. Re larger than the estimates, but this was Jarggely because of Sundiy inspection on some roads. July corn opened at 495c and after selling at 4bi¢c fell to 40} e, then advanced to 501 ¢, fell to 401 ¢, again advanced to 50}4c, fell to 495¢c and closed at 50c. Sept corn 0|wncd by tne ofticial record at 50, almost at the same time considerably hi, prices were paid and the sales at the price named must have been smhll, That delivery sold up tod1%c and closed at 5lic. The visible supply statement showed an incacuse in corn of 1,353,000 bushels, The specnlative oats market showed a marked decline at_the opening as compared ‘with Saturday’s close, and this scemed to be caused entirely by sympathy with other grain markets and -in anticipation of a break in corn. There was a sharp advance, however, from the opening figures and_closing prices ‘were about the same as on Saturday at 815{c, which was urday's close, ~advanced to e closed at 823c. September oats opened at 2557 (@253c, sold up to and closed at 2lgc.

At the meeting of the board of education last night Dietrich & Guth, architects, put in a bill for £000, 2 per cent on £0,000 for the plans of the high school building addition, less £100 for unfinished work. The bill of the Republican for publishing notice of the school election was referred to the board's attorney. A letter was read from City Attorney ‘Websterasking the board of education to pay a bill of #00 for examining the books of Secretary Conoyer and $33.25 for seventeen ballot boxes ordes for the recent election. The writer urged that the £300 bill was co tracted by the city at the request of the board of education, and represents the actual expense of the work. The matter was re- fevred to a committee. Louise B. Maun was granted the use of a room in the Long school for a six week’s summer sch canned ch asked to be compensated for d_damage to his property by the grad- the Bancroft school. Referred to com- mittee, The present teachers n the public schools were re-elected in a body, except for the cooking school, the special’ music and the high school special music teachers. The principals and assistants were elected for the buildings they are now in. The other teachers will be subject to- assignment here- after. A long petition was received from patrons of the Walnut Hill school asking that J. L. Alvison be made principal. The petitioners said they were not antagonistic to Miss Ham- ilton, but thought it best to have a male principal. A protest was read from the Omaha typo- graphical union against the cstablishment of a printing office in connection with the high school. The Douglas county teachers' institute was granted the use of the high school from August 13 to 20. A request to have the pupils of the schools \uxnum.d to review the Fourth of July arade was referred, as the schools will not sion at the time. olution was passed to continue the chool s heretofore with Miss Ida enlce as teacher at a salary of 850 per month, Bills aggregating $155.14 were allowed. y np.hmmm of Ida K. nlee to be > Mason school was referred, is, principal of the high 5 a salary 2,600 per annum, beginning with next ye On récommendation of the committee on teachers and text books the teaching of music and_drawing as special branches will be discontinued at the close of the present year, The committee on new territory mended the purchase of lots 11, 12, 15 in block 30 in Kountze's place. to exceed §5,000, for a new schoo report adopted. Mr. Saville read a committee report recom- mending the substitution of steawn for hot air in the Park school building, providng proper ventilation can be secured, aud then favored the board with a dissertation on different methods of ventilation. He made the state- ment_that, with_but few exceptions, the school buildings of Omaha were fatally de- fective in the matter of ventilation, and he arraigmed the architects for their inefficiency in this respect. Mr. Morrison stigmatized some of the furnaces in the school buildings as peanut roasters. The committee’s report was adopted. The committee were directed to examine the Pacific street school and re- port on the advisability and cost of substi- tuting steam for hot air heating. The president and secrctary were directed to make a contract with the Omaha Thomson- Houston Electric Light company for four 2,000 candle power arc lights for the high school grounds at $15 per lump per month, “The lights will run all night. The committee on property were directed 1o get plans and bids for a retaining wall on the north side of the high school, also for terracing and for sidewalk.

The Horrible ht Presented Him After a Day's Work. “‘My brother has hanged himself and you must come up to the house quick,” was the salutation Acting Coroner Maul received last night while sitting in his office. The messenger of the above dreary bit of infor mation was Lydik Knudsen, a Dane, and quickly gathering his testimony ana verdict blanks together, Mr. Maul started off with him to the designated spotof the tragedy, No. 808 South Twenty-fourth strect. The corpse, which proved to be that of Andrew Krudsén, thirty-three years of age, was found in o room in the basement of the build- Ini in which the dead man and his brother, .ylik, he kept bachelor's hall. “A light having been procured, the rays from it presented to the onlookers an unin- viting sight. The visage of the unfortunate was as black as charcoal, and the small manilla rope with which the deed of self destruction was committed had cut, a dee) incision in the flesh of the meck, presenting to gaze the various arteries and muscles, A dangling piece of the rope, the end still intactina screw in the panel ol a door about three fect from the floor, and the other end fastened about the throat of Andrew demonstrated fully that death must have been caused by strangulation, and that his sufferings must have been terrible to endure, Andrew wids dead when discovered by his brother on his return from his daily toil at 6 o'clock, Upon entering the house the latter was ustoumded to find his brother lying on the floor with head suup«mlwl about one foot from the floos protuding, his face his eyes' presenting a t( and horrifying stare. Clutching a nife in his hand, Lydik cut the rope and the lifeless form fell with a thud. Coroner Maul at once summoned a jury comprising Louis Heller, foreman, William Walker, John Michealsen, Riley Hocken Smith, C., M. Rockley and John 8. Berling. The testimony disclosed the fact that Andrew had been the victim of an accident that had deprived him of his source of livelihood, over which he had brooded to such an extent that he had become morose and broken hearted. On various occasions recently he had been heard to remark that he was going to die soon, but little attention was paid his assertions. He came to this country six years ago, and for years was eni- ployed by the Union Pacific railroad at his trade of wainting, being an accom- plished scenic artist. On the 20th of September last he was run over by the cars and had his right arm so badly mangled that Dr. Gailbraith found 1t neces- sary to amputate it. Lydik, as usual, went to hiis work yesterday morning, and Andrew was last s about the premises at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Itis presumed that soon after that hour he prepared for the tragic death, The jury brought in a verdict of suicide. ‘When you need a friend select a true one.

The state board of transportation, at its last meeting, adopted a resolution calling for an'expression of opinion with regard to the proposed reduction of rates on railroads in this state which the board desires to make. The intention was to give everybody interested @ chance to appear be- fore the board and give testimony which might enlighten that body in the per- formance of its duties. In accordance with this resolution, the board of trade of this city is m receiptof a letter asking that it send delegates to a meeting of the board, which is to be held on the 25th of this month in Lincoln. The invitation is also extended to shippers, farmers, wholesale merchants and representatives or the railroads, and of each of these classes there will doubtless be a good representation pr President Iler of the board of tri next Wednesday night, at which he d full attendance, so that the matter may be exhaustively discussed and an intelligent delegation selected to attend the meeting at Lincoln. ““This will be an_opportunity for Omaha to secure the Missouri river as a dividing line between the east and the west, and of this city as the begining and_endiog of a division. The railroads are favorable to it and if it is worked well it can be accomplished. Heretofore and cven now the Mississippi has been the governing line, but there is no reason why it should not be the Missouri. It would be only another means of making the rates from Chicago equal to the sum of the two locals. If we send a good delegation to Lincoln we can se- cure this point, Lincoln,”” said the speaker, who is a brainy merchant, ants to get Missouri river rates. Let her if she can. I don't think she will. How can she! She will have to pay the local from the river. But Nebraska City can and Sioux City can.” Complexion Powder is an absolute ne ity of the refined toilet in this climate. Pozzoni’s combines every elo- ment of beaut, d purity.

Oh, yes, the pco- ple nere want races; they want them badly.” This was the arraignment of Omahans by a director of the Omaha Falr and Expo tion association, and there was more thun tinge of acrimony in his tones. “We are hunting to find stuff_to pay our debts, We had put up $7,000 for the purses. Fifty per cent of that was made up v the entry” fees, The admission money with other receipts amounted to about §2,700. That would leave a deficit of about $500, but printing, advertising, hiring help and other things of the kind will run the deficit up to at least §1,000, and perbaps a great deal more,” The Union Pactfic Railway, “THE OVERLAND ROUTIS,” Has a nged to stop all subur trains at Q street, South Omaha, 10 bet- ter nccommodate the constantly increas- ing suburban travel Drink Malto at soda fountain, (T E"i 1 nsm.l 21 Bxs,oh0 Tansill's Punch Cigars were shipped during the past @ | two eary, without g drim- o™ Laier i our'owploy No other houso 15 the world ea P #’n:‘“ o sl unl.«v'fm'm"h' o ont.
