LO‘HPRCI:\I. AND FINANCIAL Wheat Resumed Its Temporarily Inter- rupted Tohoggan 8lide Yesterday, CORN CLUSED LOWER AND WHEAT HIGHER Opening Trades in Wheat Were at Fra tlonal Declines amd After a Slight Rally Closed Near the Bot- tom for the Doy, CHICAGO, May 22.—Wheat retumed its temporarily interrupted toboggan slide today and landed %e lower. Disappointing cables and heavy Baltic shipments, small exports, free selling and warmer weather all con tributed to the weakness, closed e Jower, oats %c higher and provisions slightly lower. Opening trades in wheat were at from e to e decline, and after selling up from e to %e, sold with little reaction, rallied slightly, changed fome and closed near the bottom. Operators were considerably dis- appointed at the tone of the cables, which falled to confirm the damage reports in France and Germany, also the leavy Baltic shipments, small exports and light cash de- mand. The trade was also more inclined to the bellef that the late cold spell had done very little damage. The absence of any good outside buying was also a factor. Offerings were leavy the first few minutes after the opening and were quite readily absorbed, the market holding fairly steady, but later on, when the selling pressure got fairly under way, the market promptly responded to the pressure and became very weak, ral- lying slightly and closing firm. In corn a falrly steady tone prevailed, prices fluctuating within from e to Hc range.- Opening trades showed fractional lo'ses, and after selling down from %c to e, rallied from Y%e to %e, worked back from %c to %e, ruled firmer, changed some and closed steady. The car lots were heavier than anticipated and were responsible for the early decline, The rally was attributable to the movement and the light estimates fo tomorrow, but when wheat broke corn sym- pathized and part of the rally was lost, In oats there was a liberal trade, the fea- ture being the small offerings. Rarly the fecling was easier, with sales at from Y%c to %e decline. Later prices advanced %c and closed steady at from Ye to %c better for the near and steady to %c_higher for the distant deliveries. The weakness In wheat and corn had little effect. Provisions ruled firm, steady to easy, and slightly lower in the absence of support The decline in wheat contributed to the easiness. With the continued weakness in wheat, liberal receipts of live logs in the west and the absence of any active support the market cased off steadily and at the close was weak, with the final figures at about the Inside prices of the day, and the range very narrow all around. Compared with last night, July is 10c, July lard 12%0 and July ribs Se lower. Vessel room was in fair demand and rates steady at 1%c for wheat and 1%c for corn to Buffalo, 10¢ for corn to Port Huron and 2%4c for corn to Kingston, ash quotations were as follows: LOUR-Unchanged.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The stock market was again active today, but the specwtation was unsettled In tone, und as a result of the day's transactions prices are about equally divided between advances and de- clines, At the opening the market was firm, the dealing being principally in the industrials, Chicago Gas und Sugar held the most strength. Unfon Pacific, which declined % per cent, and Louisville & Nash- ville, which receded 1% per cent, were the un- i) about 10:30, when Sugar, which had ad- vanced 1% per cent, gave sikns of weaken- ing, and on heavy sales declined 1% per cent. The depression in those shares caused a selling movement in the general list, re- sulting in a fractional decline therein. There was a rally before 11 o'clock, led by To- bacco, which made a gain of 1% per cent, Sugar advancing 1% per cent. but finally reacted 8§ per cent, and the rest of the mar- ket again took a downward turn, Cotton Oil leading this time, with a loss of 1 per cent. The decline was checked hy the re cefpt of buying orders, which agaln moved prices upward. Sugar advanced 3% per cent to 100. The whole market continued strong until about 1 o'clock, when General Electric fell off 1% per cent and the rest of the mar- ket a fraction. This was followed by an improvement, but during the late afterncon the market was very irreguiar. Sugar broke 214 per cent and rallied 18 per cent, and the more active shares fluctuated within narrow limits, In the final dealings gener ally a better tone prevailed and the market closed strong. The bond market was easier in tone during the early dealings, became irregular during the afternoon and closed unsettled. The Evening Post says: The advance in prices on the Stock exchange today was not of any particular reassuring character. It was the outcome largely of renewed manipu- lation, and in the industrial stocks—which led the movement—had the flimsiest basis possible. Sugar certificates, for today, were relleved from the recent pressure. One par- ticular block offered for inside liquidation went up 2 points on the offhand remark of a single senator that the tariff bill would pass the senate as it stands.

In cattle and sheep it has been slight, but there have been nearly 8,000 more hogs. There were lots of cattle here and the quality was good. The supply was heavier than it has been for five wecks, and al buyers, but especially the dressed beef men, started In to fill their orders at a sharp de- ne from Monday's prices. Light supplies east and steady to strong markets there had a reassuring influence on sellers, and as eastern butchers and speculative shippers commenced taking hold freely the movement became liveller, and although Cudahy was the only one of the dressed beef men to make much of a hustle, sellers were not compelled to give their cattle away by any means, Good, handy beeves and right choice heavy cattle sold very nearly as well as on Monday, but on most other grades shaded prices were the rule. In sonio cases cattle sold a nickel lower, in others salesmen had to take off a dime. It all depended on quality, the supply being heavy, and the better grades sold first, while the common grades were more or less neglected. Taking the heavy run in consideration, it was a very good market all around, and prac- tlcally everything sold and in very good season. With all the big cattle supplies there were less than a dozen loads of cows in the vards. The market was fairly active and generally steady all around. Calv sold a shade ecasier on account of ample receipts, but the market for rough stock of all kinds was brisk and strong. Yard traders bought most of the stock and feeding cattle at steady to a shade lower prices. The continued dry weather has hurt the pastures some and not many country buyers are looking for supplics. Good to choice feeders are quoted at from .20 to $3.65, fair to good at from $3 to 115, and the commoner grades at from $3 down. Representative sales: DRESSED BEEF. No. Av.

Today's run was the heaviest since April 12, when 9,962 head were received. The quality as a rule was very fair. Light receipts and a strong market in Chicago helped to sustain values here, but the average of prices paid was fully a nickel lower than Monday. There was a moderate inquiry for shipping and speculative account, but local packers were the heaviest buyers, and there was competi- tion enough to make a fairly active mar- Ket, notwithstanding the lower range of val- ues. Poor light mixed stuff sold down to $4.50, and a few of the choice butcher weight loads ¢old up to $4.65, The bulk of the fair to good hogs of all weights, however, sold at $4.60 to $4.60, with the long string at $4.60. The close was fully as strong as the opening, and the 'pens were closed at an early hour. On Monday the bulk of the logs sold at $4.65, and a week ago today $4.85 and $4.90 bought, most of the offerings. Representative salas: , Av. Sn. Pr. No. v, Sh.

OPINION OF SENATOR MANDERSON'S BILL In Teade Which tha Original © Wileh Sates In Omahn the tmitation wodity - Exe De Advantage Has Uve teni to Yeople Are cerved The dispateh from Washingion, printed In The Beoe yostorday, giving an outline of Senator Manderson's butterine bill, ercated a gooil deal of discussion among the whole salo_buyers and shippers of butter In city.” Butterine fs the “thova in tue i of the butter and anything sald in its favor or tending to help it Into could not well escape thelr condemnation. At the lust sosslon of the leglsluture the butter men of the state united and mads a strong cftort to lave measures passed that would put a still greater obstacle in the way of butterine Some were In favor of a law compelling the coloring in pink of all butterine offercd Yor sale in the state, as Is done in some cast rn states. Such a law amounts practically to prohibition, as no one would think of using pink butter. The Nebraska Ilegislature, however, failed to take any action fn the matter, and all the protection that th dealers in this state have is the national law {mposing a tax of 2 cents per pounds on imitation butter Before the national law governing the sale of imitation butter went into effcet butterine was scld in the markets of the country as butter. The fraud was even carried so far as the putting up of irregularly shap d rolls in exact imitation of the rolls of buiter mad> by farmers. One dealer in Omaha sold be tween the 1st of October and Decembr 60,- 000 pounds of butterine in this market at a profit of 5 cents per pound. Tiere was a strong popular prejudice agawmn.: putterine and the only way that it could be sold to consumers was o represent It as butter. The profits In the business were large that there was every inducement to carry on the deceptior Peddlers used to disguise themselves as farmers and sell butterine from house to house in the cities, represent- ing it as pure butter made on their farms. A dealer in this eity, who supplicd many of th imitation farmers with butterine, noticed one day that the burter on his table lad rather a famillar app arance, and he asked his wife where it cume from, and was informed that an honest old farmer had been supplying her for several weeks. The honest old farmer turned out to be one of her husband’s butterine peddlers. It was claimed at the time that some genuine farmers practiced the deception. They would buy butterine and take it home and work it in with the butter of their own muke and sell it to the retail dealers at butter prices, thus realizing a handsome profit. SUFFERING PUBLIC PROTESTED. The dairymen of the country started the agltation and were backed up by the con- sumers, who did not like the idea of eating imitation butter, and the present law plac- ing a tax of 2 cents per pound on butterine and oleomargarine was pushed through con- gress. The law also provided among other regulations that all packages of butterine sold by retailers should be stamped with the word butterin: or oleomargarin When this law went into effect the s butterine as butter was largely stopped and imitation butter was placed in a position where it had to eell on its merits or not at all. The fact, however, that the price of butterine was o much Jower than butter in- duced boarding houses and hotels to buy it very largely, and the consumption was heavy even when' the law was vigorously enforced. During the past two years the consump- tion of butterine has increased very rapidly in this city, at least, and butter men claim that it has been due to defects in the pres- ent United States law. It is opeply asserted that some retafl merchants er2 in’ the habit of selling butterine for butter, but in a way that would make a conviction impossible. A customer may ask for butter and the retail dealer can show him butter and he can also show him butt:rine, and it is not the dealer's fault if he selects the butterine, which he is very likely to do, as it is the cheaper and has a good taste and appearance. He do not tell him that it is butterine and hence does not break the law in that respect, and when he dclivers the butter to the pur- chaser's house le stamps the paper over with the word “butterine’ according to law. At the same time the color of his ink and paper ar: so nearly the same that no one would notice the stamping. Butter men claim that if it were not for butterine there would be a gool market for butter. At the present (ime butter made by the farmers of Nebraska is bringing only 6@6t% cents per pound on track. This is the price obtained for it by the ccuntry mer- chants who buy it from the farmers, o that the man who mukes the butter hardly gets enough to pay for taking it to market. Even at these prices the local demand for butter is light, and a large proportion of it has to be shipped out of the state. DO NOT LIKE THE BILL. The butter business being in this condi- tion, dealers do not look favorably upon that feature of Senator Manderson’s bill reducing the tax on butterine, which would give that article a still further advantage over genuine butter. They do approve of the provision compelling both wholesalers and retailers to sell in the original packages oaly. Here is what a_few of the wholesale butter dealers of Omaha have to say on the subject: Charles Kirschbraun, of the Kirschbraun- Haskell Produc: Company—I am not in favor of reducing the tax on imitation butter, but would prefer to see it raised, it anything, so s to limit the sale of it as much as possible. hen I would like to have it put up in one pound packag:s only, and each package stamped with a revenue stamp, so that the retailer could not deccive the consumer, as is done at present in nine cascs out of ten Not to exaggerate, I should say that there is as much butterine as butter consumed in Omaha, and that fully two-thirds of the peo- ple using butterine believe it to be butter. If it were not for butterine Omaha and the other cities of Nebraska would consume all the good butter that is made in the state, A. C. Riddell, of Ridd:1l & Co.—I do not belicve that Senator Manlerson ever received a letter from a farmer engaged in butter making that advised the reduction of the tax on butterine. In the winter season butter cannot begin to compete with the imitation article even with a tax of 2 cents a zound in force. To reduce this tax would still further depress the busines Jumes A. Clark, of James A, Clark & Co. —1I think the butt'r prolucers and dealers of Vebraska ought to get up a remonstranc and let Senator Manderson know where he i at. The tax on butterine ought to be increased, or else taken off altogether, and every one be allowed to make it. '~ The senator's idea of compelling the sale of but- terine in original packages Is all right. At the present time ninety-nine pounds out of every 100 sold in Omaha are sold for butter. It is hard work to detect the fraud, but the fact is there Is 1o one trying to detect it. W.E. Riddell—If congriss will make a law, that cannot be evaded, compelling the sale of butterine as butterine and do away with the decelving of consumers, that will be all that any one can reasonably ask for. Th manufacturers have a right to make but- terine 8o long as it 1s not sold for hutter. It is clalmed by the manufacturers that but terine is better than butter; If o, let them sell it for what it is on 1ty merits and the butter men will not hesitate to meet them in falr competition, 1 would not care what the tax was If Senator Manderson would only glve us a law that would prevent the stuft from being sold as butter B. H. Whitney, of Whitney & Co.—The feature of Senator Manderson's bill lmiting the sale of butterine to original packages is a good idea. However, I am not In favor of reducing the tax on butterine, as the manufacturers are better able to stand it than are the farmers to suffer a still further reduction in the price of butte Butter bas dropped down so low that there s no encouragement for farmers to make good butter any more. As Koon as cool weather comes in the fall butterine shuts oft fully one-half_of the demand for butter in this city. Every fall the number of retall mer- chants who take out a license to sell but- terine increases. As an example of how it works, & retall merchant wno had been buy- ing butter to the amount of $160 to §200 pes his men, uy proposed legisiation consumption mouth took out a liceuse lust fall to sell butterine, and aftor that his butter te did not amount to anvthing e sald “Why, T used to bo glad to make 4975 cbnts per pound on butter hut T am now buyMmg hutterine at 1245 cents per pound and selling It at 20@22 cents.” Buttering could easily pAy & tax of § cents per pound and still have all the advantage over butter fn the matter of prive, as it costs o little o mMANw facture ft.
