The same was true at (his point also. A few loads sold garly ‘that were probably not over i@ioc lower than Saturday's average, but were the heavier welghts. BEckers wouk not look at the lightwelght stuff and as the morning advanced their bids on the heavier hogs kept getting worse. Sellers | were not willing to make the concessions, €0 that at 1 oclock the bulk of the re- ceipts _was still in_first hands. The late sales were fully 10@lsc lower and in some cases sales were made that were 20c lower than the same kind sold for on Saturday.

Packers, however, are looking for a heavy run all’the week, not only here, but at other points as well, and the fact Chicago had )00 head today would lndl- cate that they are right, The bulk of ‘the hogs that sold today went from $5.10 to $5.90.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR POULTRY Shipments te Philippines Ten Alushe to Advance Omaha Prices. The Omaha poultry market is higher than it has been at the same season for yeArs, and according to the ideas of local dealers the increase is relative permanent. The higher range of prices is accounted for by the opening of trade with Alaska and the United States transport service betwecn the United States and the Philippines. Mo=: of the poultry now shipped out of Omaha goes to the Pacific coast and at San Fran- cisco or Seattle is shipped to the Orient or the north. This demand has Increased wonderfully within the last twelve months and the business of freezing poultry for shipment {s one which has grown to large proportions. Sald one of the dealers: “Obickens are retailing at 12% cents a pound in Omaha. '$6.00 | Were it not for the Philippine and Alaskan demand the price would not be to exteed 10 cents, and where the farmer receives 8 cents for his poultry today he would find difficulty in disposing of it at 5% cents.” The oyster market has improved some- what during the last few days, and receipts inow are equal to demand for the first time since Ash Wednesday. There has been an advance of 10 cents a gullon in the wholesale price at Omaha. The last of the celery crop from Califor- pia is at band, and by March 1 the Florida product will be placed upon the market. Celery can be had fresh all the year at moderate prices. The first crop of the year comes from California. This is fol- lowed by celery from Florida by March 1. Thirty days later the product of Louislana comes upon the market, and in June that from Indiana and Michigan is ready for consumption. The Nebraska crop drives celery from the morth out of the local market in August, but it returns again in November and is sold until the California stock is ready. NO QUARANTINE FOR. STORK Pays Visit to House of Sm tients Despite Hnl Health Department. x Pa- of An inspector for the Board of Health dis- covered a lamentable state of affairs yes- terday In the horhe of Mre. Mary Caughey, 203 Leavenworth street, which house has been under quaranyne for six weeks. Mrs. Caughey has been {ll with smallpox for a month. Friday night & GhIMd wad borh to her. Absolutely no preparation had been made for the arrival of the little one and: up to date it has no clothing, but lles wrapped in a blanket, like an Apache pa- ‘The mother is too il to care for it. The neighbors can do nothing on ac< count of the quarantine. No help can come from the other members of the family, ai the only ones at home are two young chile dren, aged 3 and 5 years, respectively, them« selves just convalesoing from smallpox. Notwithstanding the {ll-starred arrival of the Caughey infant, it seems to be in robust health and is perfectly sound in every respect. Mrs. Cauhey's troubles began about three months ago, when her husband died. Then her brother, Joseph Spinney, came to live with her, and he was stricken with small. pox. Soon afterward she took the dlsease, Spinney was taken to the emergency hos- pital and the house was placed under quar- antin Then her two children came down with the malady. Finally, an indiscrim- inating stork, in disregard of quarantine rules which forbid arrivals and departure folsted this little mortal upon her, and her cup of adversity was fuil. The Board of Health asks that charitable persons who may have clothing suitable for an infant leave it at the health office ln the city hall, from which point it will be delivered to the Caughey howe. JUDGE TRIES A BEDSTEAD Falls to Find Faults Pointed Out by arty to Litigation Over It The office of Justice of the Peace Prich- ard for the past week has presented the appearance of a secondhand furniture the result of a sult brought by Rolle agalost James Levis a socondhand furni- ture dealer, to recover §10 which he had paid for a bedstead, springs and chairs. The defendant admitted that the springs were not s represented and agreed that the chairs were not the best In the world, con- sequently he made no fight on that part of the proposition. The bed, however, he in- sisted, was & good one was worth every cent that was paid for it. Many witnes were examined and the parties to the c: did most of the questioning. The plaintiff claimed that the bed ggled and was not only not large enough .for two, but was nothing more than a cradle.” To settle the dispute the bed was set up In court and tried for several days and nights by the Ofcials of the Unfon Pacific Rallread company have flled sults jn the justice courts of the city agaimst Willlam Cole man, Conrad Wetzel and others for posses- sion of property near Eleventh and Nich- olas streets, claimed by the company and said to be occupled by squatters. 1In all about fifty suits will be filed The sults are designated by one of the officials as “our annusl clearidgs.” The sults have to be brought every spring, in order to get the people off the property.
