GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Wheat Sells for the Highest Yet in Omaha, NUMBER TWO0 HITS THE TOP Demands $1.38 1-2—Holders of Grain Refused to Sell and Wi Watt | for Sl Another Rise. OMAHA, April 10, 1908. Wheat hit & new high mark on the Omaha Grain exchange Saturday, when a price of $1.83% was bid for No. 2 hard. Holders of the grain rerused o sell and wiil hold their n for Monday's marke hoping & stili further raise. This Is 1%c | higher than No. 2 hard wheat ever sold for before on the Omaha market. No. 3 hard wheat also did some record breaking stunts, one car selling for $1.2, which is fully' a cent higher than the best previous price on the Omaha ex- change. Corn_recelpts are very moderate. The demand is some improved and while the near future is under.heavy pressure no decided change is expected, as receipts cannot increase materially untl after the planting is over, Wheat was steady on the start and ruled sharply higher, with good support. The deferred futures showed the more strength. Forelgn news was bullish on lighter Ar- gentina shipments and a further decrease expected Monday. Bullish sentiment is pre- dominant and wiil govern the situation for the time being. May wheat opened at $1.19% and oclosed at $1.20. Corn was a shade off early, but firmed later on the strength in wheat. The pres- sure Is heavy on the May option, but lighter receipts and a better cash demand is sus- taning the values. May corn opened 24c and closed 62%c. Primary wheat recelpts were 676,000 bu., and shipments were 364,000 bu., against receipts last year of 242,000 bu., and ship- ment of 215,000 bu. - Corn teceipts were 604,000 bu., and ship- ments were 461000 bu. against receipts last year of 28,000 bu., and shipments of 37,000 bu, Clearances were 170,000 bu., of corn; one :‘;v oats, and wheat and flour equal to 88,000 .

CHICAGO, April 10—The May deal in wheat was sidetracked today to make way for the more distant futures, which ad- vanced more than 8¢ per bushel, owing to liberal purchases by leading bulls. At the close prices were Y to 3%c above the final quotations of the preceding session. Corn, oats and provisions also closed firm. Purchases of a big line of the July de- livery by the same interest that is cred- ited ‘with control of the May option was the feature bf trade in the wheat pit. The September and December ~deliveries were also bought freely by the leading longs ond their followers. This demand Insplzed active covering by shorts late in | the day, which carried the price of the deferred” futuzes Up to new high record marks for th: season. The market fol- lowed it nwr eourse throughout the entire sesslon vilhout respect to news of the ai Netwithstanding & firm market at ’ to decreased shipments from Argentina Australia, the opening here was rather weak, with prices unchanged | to %@Yc lower, compared with Thursday's | final quotations. The principal holder was | & moderate seller of May at the start and this was given as {he reason for the heavy tone which prevafled during the opening | hour. Toward the end of the first hour | the Tuly optlon began to show the effect | af the support by prominent bulls and during the remainder of the day the price of the future deliveries steadily advanced. | Considerable excitement developed In the final half hour and prices advanced more than 1c iIn the last few minutes of trade. The top for July was reached at $LIS. At the same time May sold up to $1.28 and September to $1.07%. This was a gain dur- ing the day for July of 3iec. a low point of 31.113% being recorded early in the ses- slon. The market closed excited _and strong, with July at $L.14%@115. Final quotations on May were §1.25%, Sc below the best mark of the day. September closed 3%c higher at $1.07%. ) General selling of corn, inspired by ideal weather for farm work, caused weakness in the market for that graln early in the day, resulting in declines of more than e, All of the loss, however. was re- galned and the close was firm, with prices unchanged to %@ke higher, compared with | the previous session. May sold between 6%e and O6c and closed at the high paint. Oats displayed slight weakness early in the day, but became firmer, in sympathy with the advance In wheat. The close was firm, with prices unchanged to %c higher, May being at bifuc. Trade In provisions was dull and prices moved within a narrow range. The mar- ket _closed firm, with prices unchanged to Sc_higher.

Receipts of cattle for the week have shown a very con- siderable falling off, as compared with last week, but still have been just about on a par or a little in excess of the record for the corresponding week last year. Among the receipts there have been quife a go-d many pretty well finished heavy benf Steers. There have also been a good many feeders and a liberal sprinkling of butch- ers’ stook, The week started out with an easjer ten- dency on heef cattle and values on Monday and Tuesdny were quuted quite a little lower. On Wednesday the market took a turn for the better, wiping out all of the loss and more, too. After that the trade weakened a trifle, so that at the close of the week beef steers arc not materially different as regards prices from what thoy were at the close of last woek. A notable feature of the trade s the very poor de- mand for heavy weight steers. even those that are well finished being neglected and diseriminated against by buyers. On the other hand, handy wolght cattle have sold more freely and at relatively better prices. Cows and heifers have been sought after more than any other claes of killing cattle. The trade has been reasonably active on practically every day, with prices any- where from steady to a little stronger. At the close of the week the general market is 10@18c higher than last week and the feeling very good. Choice heifers sold up to $6.66, the best price paid so far this season. In spite of the fact that fceders and stock cattle have been commanding very high prices, the demand has continued very good us the market has been generally steady on all desirable kinds, and at the close of the week it Is firm, as compared with last week. Common light stockers have been a little slow and they possibly are a little lower than last week Quotations on cattle: Good to cholee corn- fed stecrs, $6.2066.50; falr to good cornfed steers, $.5086.20; common to falr cornfed steers, $4.50@5.80; good to cholce cows and helfers, $4.75@6.65; falr to Rood cows and heifers, $3.8@4.75; common to falr cows ers, zsg« stock helfers, $3.000 .95; veal calves, $3.2567.35; bulls, stags, etc., $3.0066.00; good to cholce stockers and feed- ers, $4.5006.50; fair to good stockers and feoders, $4.0034.50; common to falr stockers and feeders, $3.2564.00. Representative sales R St receipts was ng the num- T 310 390 e 100 65 HOGS—-Hogs were strong to 6c higher this morning In most case: some instances salesmen c! were bid only steady prices. As a matter of fact, the market was rather uneven and that would account, in part at least, for the difference of opinion among sellers. The strength was the most noticeable on the good heavy and shipping grades of hogs. On the other hand common light hogs, as has been mentioned before, are being discriminated against to a consider- able extent on the part of buyers and It Is largely a matter of luck an to where they will sell. After the more urgent orders were filled the market eased up, closing with the advance lost. Bome of the packers had been bearish all morning, bidding only about steady gficu and on the close they were. able to buy hogs more nearly in ac- cordance with their ideas. While the mar- ket was slow, especially on the close, the hogs were pretty well cleaned up in decent A considerable proportion of the sold $6.9097.08 and on up as high $7.20, the highest price touched so far. The receipts of hogs for the week show a falling off of about 12,000 head as com- pared with last week, and a still heavier decrease as compared with previous weeks. However, as compared with a year ago there has been a gain of close to 3.000 head The tendency of the market this week has been steadily upward, although packers have bewn opposed to further advances in prices and some of them at least have been acting on the bear side the greater part of the time. Some days very con- slderable advances have been scored, but as a rule it has been only a steady gain. At the close of the week the market is 20c higher than it was on Saturday of last week, and the highest it has been at any time in seven years.

The feeling, however, was about steady with yesterday For the week recelpts have shown a large falling off as compared with the previous week, but still way in excess of last year's record. It might be added that the supply has been large enough to meet all the requirements of buyers. The market In fact this week has not been as well supported as usual at this point Prices have been high as compared with other market polnts and buyers have not been sufficlently eager for suppli make the trade active. Thus on a good many days the market has been slow and dull, with an casier tendency. At the close of the week prices on all kinds of sheep and on fair to pretty good kinds of lambs are generally 10@16¢ lower than last week. The very best lambe, that is, to choice kinds, are still about steady with last week. While the market has not been as ac- tive or prices quite as strong as last week, still the market as a whole been in very falr shape and prevajling prices hav been entirely satisfactor? to the seiling Interests.

GREAT IRRIGATION DAM ON THE SHOSHONI RIVER Work Being Carried On Under Direc- tion of the Reclamation Service, POWELL, Wyo., April 10.—~(Special.)~The federal government of the United States, through the reclamation service, a bureau cf the Department of the Interlor, is spend- Ing about $40,000,000 in irrigation projects In various parts of the so-called “arid" west. Only those projects have been undertaken insuring greatest return to the settler, based on fertility of soll, abundance and certainty of water supply and climatie conditions. Among these projects, and one of the most extensive, is the Shoshono project In northern Wyoming, about sev- enty-five miles east of the Yellowstone park, covering approximately 150,00 acres of irrigable land. The government s spend- Ing on this project some $,760,000. The work 1s being done by its own engineers n & thorough, permanent and substantial manner. The government desires no profit from the enterprise, and the land, with perpetual water right to the settlers at the actual cost of the improvements. The irrigation works on this project in- clude the Shoshone canyon dam and res- ervolr, the outlet tunnel fro mthe dam, the Corbett diversion dam across the Shoshone | ervolr, the outlet tunnel trom the dam, the | Corbett tunnel iined with conerite and thre: {and one-fourth miles In length, to with the neceseary canals and latera | carrying the water to the highest point on each farm. The Bhoshone dam will be when com- ed 328% feet high, or forty-elght feet her than the Flatiron bullding in New York, and will be the highest dam in the world. It is designed to hold back the flood waters of the Shoshone ri thus forming an artificial lake or reservoir cov- ering an area ten miles square to an aver- age depth of seventy feet, and containing sufficlent water to cover 456,000 acres one foot in depth. The water will be drawn from the reservolr as it is needed for irri- | gation purpses, passed back Into the river chanrei below the main dum, diverted from the river by the Corbett diversion dam and, | after pass.ng through the Corbett tunnel, will pass into the canals and laterals from which the land will be directly irrigated. The main dam Is not yet completed, but the normal fiow of the Bhoshone river vides sufficient water to irrigate all lands which will be opened to settiement prior to the completion of the main dam The cost of the land to the settlers Is 345 per acre of irrigable land, payable in tem annual {nsialiments without interest. The first payment of #4.60 per acre la made at the time of flling. In addition the annual cost of operation and malntenanc: of ths system for the first year is §1 per acre, making the total firat payment of $.50 per acre. BSubsequent Installments are payabls efter the crop scason each year. The farmes vary In size from forty to 160 acres, and each settler s permitted to take his choice of all farms not filed on. Powell is the headquarters of the United States reclamation service In the center of the Bhoshone project in Wyoming and con- veyarces are furnished by the government &t that place free of charge to look over the land. About 12,000 acres have been filed on and 15 families are tilling the woil for the crop season of 1%9. The town of Powell has two general stores, two lumber yards, a brick yard, a bank, & hotel, & drug store, two blacksmith shops. A very #o0d class of settlers are homesteadin trom the middle western states, mostly will be turned over- 3rd Floor, Close to 16th Street. Farnam Street Paxton Block Formerly Occupied by Y. W. C. A.

Farly today all the deud had been re- covered and, according to Mine Inspector Blower of the Bixth dlstrict, there are no more victims In the wreck. The dead: MICHAEL GIBSON. WILLIAM GIBSON, his son. STEVE NEMIS, ARTHUR CUSTER. THREE FOREIGNERS, The explosion occurred just as the day shift was golng off duty and the fact that the death list is not larger is accounted for by the fact that the men were near |the mine's mouth and had but a short | dash to make for liberty. The dead and | Injured were part of a party of twelve | miners, who throughout the day had been working at the fourth heading drilling holes preparatory Lying about them were about 200 sticks of dynamite. Six holes had been drilled, the charges sent home and the electric wires, streteh- ing out of the mine G00 feet, which are used to explode the sticks had been at tached. As I8 customary, the men had been warned and, It was thought, had made thelr way out toward the mine entrance and beyond the danger point. With the day shift nearly out, the cur- rent was turned on. There was & sharp explosion and the dynamite did its work and then within the space of a few seconds there followed a second explosion, It was this last that caused the fatalities.
