Omaha Futures. ‘With continued reports of drouth damage in the Argentine and also an excellent ex- port demand, the local future market on wheat opened strong. There was a sharp edvance from the opening during the early part of the session, December wheat reach- ing $1.52% and the May $1.52. The local element changed to the bear eide of the market later in the session and heavy selling forced the market down, the December closing at $1.61% and the May at $1.60%. The trade In corn, which wag confined to the local traders, was confbaratively quiet, and this market held within a nar- row range. N Closing prices on December corn were practically unchanged, while the May arti- cle advanced %c. Oats followed wheat, but the range was very_narrow, December declining S%c and the May closing about %c lower.

Corn closed unchanged ‘o %@ %c down, oats %c off to %ec advance, and provisions varying from 47%c loss to & rise of 42%e. Arq?nun. advices regarding drouth were more bulllsh than ever. A materlal re- duction of the Argentine exportable sur- plus appeared inevitable. The fact that the Liverpool market had failed to follow yes- terday's laste decline tended further to handicap the bears. Regardless of ad- vancing prices sho ts lost no time In seek- ng to cover sales. Be's'ed holders instead of the shorts were the sufferers in the final adjustment of Septembpr wheat contracts. Liquidation caused a sudden break of 5%c In the September option, the price dronping e at a time. but with an Immediate raily of 1%c prior to the last gong. Corn reflected the action of wheat Changes in price, though, were comnara- tivelv w'lght. Oats trading consisted al- most entirely of transfers from near-by de- liveries. Provisions were notably irregular.

For the week re- celpts. have been the largest of the year showing a heavy gain over the correspond- ing period of last year. In spite of the big run the market has held up In remarkably fine shape and there have been no com- plaints from the selling interests as they really tared better than any one had reason : te hope with 'such a large run. Beef steers which showed considerable weakness at the beginning of the week hi strengthened up so that good grades eady to stronger than last week's close, with less desirable kinds uneven but pretty close to steady. Cows and heifers, owing to the competi- tion from the common to medlum grades of steers, have eased off and they are not far from 10@26c lower than last week. A world of stockers and feeders has been on sale this week, but atrictly good| to cholce cattle have not been so plentiful and have held about steady.

Packers rounded out a week of steady breaks by reducing costs another dime this morning. Shippers bought a few scattering loads at steady prices on the opening, pay- ing as high as $10.20 for some real good butchers. The killer market was generally a dime lower. The usual irregularity was noted, individual sales ranging from a nickel to 16c below yesterday. Movement was fairly active and clearance early, Sev- eral loads that arrived on a late train sold very unevenly, sellers who had desirable stult calling the market fully as good as any time, while on the other hand three or four shlesmen who recelved just ordi- nary packers late sald they had to sell them 15c lower than yesterday. Buk of the sales was made »t $9.65@ 9.75, with a sprinkling of the better stuff & little higher, and one load at $10.20. the top. As compared with a week ago today, current values are fully 60c lower, or 90c @$1.00 below two weeks ago, when the ay- ¢ age was set at the high spot for the sea- gon, Packers have succeeded In breaking the market every day this week, though recelpts have been only slightly larger than elther last week or a yi Scareity of shipping o ders has been of material assistance in this bear campaign, but even on Tuesday, when order buyers took over a fourth of the run, the average market broke a dime. Sheep—The quality of the bulk of the big cun of sheep and lambs hero this week has been the poorest of the season, and the mar- ket for It about the rottenest, The foeder domand, which previous to this time has absorbed big runs without any price reduc- tions, went to pleces early in the week, and packers who were unable to get more than a 10c decline on Monday and Tuesday forced some pretty stiff reductions toward the week’s close, fat lambe winding up 0@ 60c lower than a week ago, or at the sea- son's low time. Aes were the rule, wslons on a good share of the offerings remained unsold tili noon or after. On the close gcod fat lambs are selllng around $9.76, with the rest on down according ‘o quality. There were very few, if any, real cholce lambs hers at any time of the week. Fat sheep held up fairly well the first two or three days of the week, but before the week was out broke 25@40c. The slamp carried decent to good ewes down to $6.76@ 6.90. Not enough yearlirgs or wethers wers offered to show the decline Real cholce feeding lambs were in lim- ited supply nearly every day, and under the Influence of this scarcily prices broke barely a quarter. a few bunches of “hand | picked" stuff selling Thursday at $10.00 and better, one load setting a top of $10.00 Bxcept for the very best, however, prices | broke generally S0c’ during the week, with Just Before the Series WELL—IM STiLL RIGHT BEHIND Ya — EH Kby 2" THE_OMAKA_SUNDAY_BEE: OCTOBER_1, 1916, 11-D - By Wheelan (i some of the In between and weighty stuff being called as much as 76c lower.

In the pushcart days the venders of bafianas could sell at low prices. It did not cost the men much to live. They had no rent or taxes to pay and the only overhead expense was the peddler’s license, a mere pittance. .ater the grocers discovered that there was good money in selling bananas, and they succeeded in get- ting through the city ceuncil an or- dinance that put the pushcart man out of business Enter Mr. H. C. O'Living. The exit of the pushcart man was the first epoch in the advance in the fllce of bananas, Then came along r. High Cost of Living and gave them another boost. But people stood this and still continued to eat bananas. It was not long before the banana trust got into the game, and with its advent came the big boost in prices. With this boost the succulent banana at once hecame a luxury, instead of a staple article of food. There were a ew people who could afford the lux- ury, but within the last few weeks the banana has gone into a class o its own, and now the presumption is that it is seen only on the table of the millionaire. Now, if you go, to your grocer and price the bananas that hang along- side the money bag, you will find that instead of being sold at 10, 15 or even 25 cents per dozen, they are sold at 5 to 8 cents per pound, and a dozen will weight six or seven pounds. | Most of the bananas are grown in Cuba, Spanish Honduras, northern South America, Central America and southern Mexico, and on large plan- tations, owned by the Lispacc . .. t] company, another name for the banana trust. This company owns the land, employs the cheapest kind of labor in cultivation, picking and pre- paring the bananas for shipment. In addition, it owns the boats plying be- tween the countries where they are grown, and New Orleans, Mobile and Galveston, the three ports that re- ceive the greater portion of the bananas. This same company owns the docks and terminals and all the shipping facilities. As a result, it can fix and maintain the prices at which bananas can be sold anywhere in the United States. You might suppose that the com- mission men make the big end of the rofit out of bananas grown on cheap and and handled by what is cheaper than convict labor, but these men assert that such is not the case. Bought by Pound. If you care to look at their books, these commission men will show them to you and prove to you that right now, in wholesale lots, put on the cars in New Orleans, Mobile and Gal- veston, bananas are costing them $1.25 to $2.50 per 100 pounds. To this may te nfded another cent per pound for {reight, icing and packing away in hay. The difference between these charges and the retail price would look as if there might be a pretty fair profit in the trade, but there is something else that enters into the transaction before the ban- anas finally reach the customer, If there is anything to indicate that in a certain city there is a prospect of banana prices going down, the sup- ply for that point is held back until REALTY HEN BELIEVE [N RETPROGKTION \ | Argue that .....uercial Olub Should Stand Part of Road Bond Expense, AS TO LAND BANK FIGHT If the Real Estate exchange should stand a part of Omaha's expense of making the fight for a federal land bank, should not the Commercial club stand a part of the exchange's ex- pense of making its fight against the road bond issue in Douglas county? That is what the members of the real estate fraternity want to know. The subject came up for discussion at the regular meeting of the Omaha Real Estate exchange last Wednes- day. A communication from the Commercial club asked that the ex- change stand $100 of the expense the club incurred in making the fight for a land bank. At the same time Secretary Creigh read a report of the successful out- come of the fight of the exchange made to restrain the county commis- sioners from issuing the $1,700,000 road bonds. Then the question arose why the Commercial club should not in turm be asked to bear a part of the heavy expense of making this injunction fight in the courts. Harry Tukey held that the injunc~ tion fight had been the fight of the ex- change purely, and that the exchange had taken all the credit and glory and should therefore stand all the ex= pense, G. G. Wallace believed a commit- tee should be appointed to determine whether $100 is the just and equitable Km ortion of the expense of the land such time as the market is practicall bare of the fruit. Then just enoug comes in to partly supply the demand and in the meantime the jobber, com- mi3sion man and retailer have to ay more for bananas. Add these lgdb tional charges and you get what the consumer pays if he eats bananas. Green: No 1, 18¢c: No 2 16c.
