U THE CONDITION OF TRADE
The Grain Market Has Been Rather Slow
For the Past Week ,
A REVIEW OF THE PRODUCE MARKET
Jobbing Hnliin n Wm Never In
Jlellrr Condition NoUrltlifttn
tbo Ueport * of IMillneis Sent
Out from Now York ,
The poor condition of country roads has
vended to decrease farmers' deliveries of pro-
cluco nt country points nnd to tbo same ex
tent has Interfered with the trade of rotnll
dealers. Conditions , however , arising from
such causes , can bo of only n temporary
nature nnd will not have any Important bearIng -
Ing on the trade tn general.
The jobbing trade of Omaha contlnuoi to
bo unusually good for the season , and In al
most every line Jobbers arc talking about an
Increase tn Iho volitma of business over last
year , amounting to nil the way from SO to 00
percent.
Vhero was never a llmo In Iho history of
the city when the feeling was us good among
the Jobbers In all lines , nor was there ever a
time when so few complaints were board.
Not only does trade como up to expectations ,
but tt exceeds what the Jobbers anticipated.
Many bouRCs have had all that they could dote
to keep up with ordcM. At the sumo time
country collections linvo been reasonably
good.
In view of those facts the reports tolo.-
Kraphod nil ever the United States by n cor-
tnln Institution , having Its headquarters In
New York , that trade Is quiet at Omaha ,
seems very peculiar. Jobbers wboao atton-
tlon wus called to the matter said that they
did tint understand how such u report could
originnto , as It wus certainly tar from the .
truth.
Tliu ( iriiln Trade ,
The local groin market was rather slow
last wcoic. Country deliveries have been In
terfered with by the heavy country roads ,
ana tbo offerings of grain -havo been light.
The dally call has boon discontinued by the
Hoard of Trauo owing to the impossibility of
doing business to any extent under thu pres
ent railroad rates. Orrmha brokers and - elevator
vator men will continue to buy grain ns here
tofore , but the bids 'Will huvo tb Do bo eden
on Mississippi river points.
Grain men fool that no great grain market
can bo built up'ln Omaha until the railroads
glvo stop-over privileges which will nilmlt of
the grain -being brought to Omaha nnd in-
sptctcd/nnd either placed in elevators here
or diverted to any eastern point aosirod. At
present grain halted in that way has to pajf
tbo local rate into Omaha nnd the local rate
out. The grain business is iifabout the same
situation us the llvo stocks business was-In
when the yards were opened ut South
Omaha.
The llvo stock market never amounted tn
anything until the railroads were forced to
give * stop-over privileges , and the grain men
EIIV that the sumo thing is truu In reference
to the grain tnnrkot. ( Jraln men point to Iho
great benefits which Nebraska has-derived
from having n llvo stoclc market near at
hand.mill claim that a good gram market
would bo of equal benefit. The grain men of
Oinahn , however , do not nppunr to bo strong
enough to forcti the railroads to glvo them
what they want.
Tlio 1'rodiico 3Iarl < ct ,
In country produce the changes hnvo not
boon of a very marked character. The best
grades of country butter uro not plenty and
have commanded good prices till tno week.
, Poultry bus been very slendy with no quota
ble change in prices. Kggs have not boon
very strong and the week closes with a
feeling among n portion of the trade at least
that prices are about to go still lower. In
the vegetable Htio spinach has put in an ap-
peni'anco during.tbo past few days. Eastern
celery arriving is not of very good quality ,
in fact hardly irood enough to shin. Soiio :
California celery has boon received , but
there is none on the market Just nt present.
This month promises to about wind up the
apple business. Good stock commands very
satisfactory prices. Lcmocs have been arriv
ing nt the ports of entry more freely of Into
and prices are hardly so tirm. Cranberries are
to bo had on the markcv at all prices owing
to the amount of soft stock.

A pyramid built on Its anex may bo reason
ably expected to topple over when It Is
pushed. The market lorthc last few days lias
been precisely such an architectural mon
strosity. In the face of n naturally boavy
list , u proup of professional operators hnvo
been forcing the moat extravagant advances
In prices. To explain this movement only two
iiuoioslcs for argument hnvo been advanced
a stock dividend on Lake Shore and possible
consumption of dividend during the week on
St. 1'anl common. The llrst was ooubted
oven by the enthusiastic buyers of
yesterday ; of the second possibil
ity the professional traders have
exactly us much knowledge now as the most
Ignorant outsider. The renewal this moniln-
of thu crazy buying In Lake Shore and Us
companions prepared the way more Invitingly
for the beatraiders. . Thu advances of four
poll ts In this Block and of two In rsorthwcst-
crn were made In ah.Milnto Inillll'eronco to the
blow received by the Richmond Terminal ro-
or anlzcrs , which sent the stocks of that non-
corn bowling down still from the start. Only
one other factor win needed. Half an hour

the outlook In connection with the threat
ened coal strike. In the majority of cases an
advance of U to H per cent was established.
American railways have been quite active
and buoyant under the Icud of Lake Shore ,
which advanced as much as O.'i per cent ,
Canadian lines have shown more strength In
sympathy. Money has been In only moderate
demand fu Lombard street today.
Notwithstanding payments and repayments

TAKING THE TOWN.
Telegraph Linemen Capture 1'ilriillin Street
nnd Tear Up tliu SldeivillltH.
At nn early hour yosturaay morning fifty or
moro telegraph linemen , with picks , axes and
shovels , were on the streets. They stationed
themselves in squads ut the several street
corners and In the middle of the blocks.
The command wus clycn by the foreman ,
and a few moments tutor bugo blocus of
permanent sidewalk were torn up and thrown
into the gutter. Property owners aloni ; the
north stdo ot the street , where tbo walk was
belnp destroyed , protested , but the protests
were of no avail , as the man In chnree
flashed his authority and urged his men on"
In their work.
Tbo authority catno from Jack Ualllgqn
chief of iho 11 ro department , and in brief
stated that the Postal Teleeraph cotppany
had received his permission to place poles
from its ofllco on Douelas street to Farnum
and Thirteenth and thence west to Eighteenth
street.
The mayor , the chairman of the Board of
Public Works and the city clerk were visited
oy tbo Irate property owners , but the only
consolation that they could give wns that
they knew nothing about tbo matter and
that they had given the telegraph company
no permission.
Dr. Miller , general manager of the New
York Life company , stated tha , it was a
shame and a disgrace but he did not know of
any way of stopping the work.
Alfred Mtllard ot tbo Commercial National
bank said that bo felt disgusted , lie talked
injunction , but when Ualllgan's permit was
exhibited bo subsided.
Other "property owners felt the same , but
they did not succeed in stopping the wonc.
In the meantime the work of elevating the
poles wont on until now u long line of addi
tional ugly poles rear their heads fifty foot
In the air along the principal street of the
city.Tho
The Postal people smiled at the anger ex
pressed by the npoplo along tbo street alia
mildly explained that they wore acting under
authority granted by u city onlclal. Tholr
intention , they said , was to have the pol s
for their own use and at the same time they
would allow the motor company to attach Its
wires. > ,
None of tbo city ofllciaU seem to know
whether or not Chief Galllgan bad authority
to grant the permit , but they are free to ex
press the opinion that no other company
could tear up tbo pavement and the sidewalk
without first obtaining a permit from tbo
Board of Public Works.
To say that the additional poles disfigure
tbo north side of Farnain strcot goes with
out suylncr , as vvlth their numerous cross-
arms they glvo that slao of tbo street the
appearance of a dead forest.

was Just about to carrv his \vr\tcli , his best

which to satisfy the demands of the black
mailer , when suddenly the dastardly meanness

That snmo < li\y the postmaster nud Inspector
specter Brpwn ot the postofllco department ,
were put in possession of the facU In , the
case and they began prnparlm ; the trap
which finally caught the perpetrators of tao
blackmailing schorao.
Cmiirlit by 11 Decoy Lottor.
A letter was written and 'mailed to FroJ
Freeman according to the directions of the
blackmailer and then a watch was put on to
urrbit the party who called for the letter. It
was an easy mark , showing that the
partlos wore cither very bold and rasher
or entirely inexperienced. Between 5 nnd 0
o'clock last evening u young man walked up
to the general delivery window ut the post-
olllco and asked if there wore any letters for
Fred Freeman. The signal was given , nnd
whuo the clerk was shuttling through the
letters a deputy United States marshal
walked out in the hall , nnd just ns the young
man took the letter udd rosso J to Fred Free
man the deputy tapped him on the shoulder
and made him a prisoner. It. was now tlrao
for tlio oxcosslvo pnrapiratlou to How from
parties acting the other sldo of the play.
The young man arrested gave the naino of
J. E. Wallonhaupt and said that ho had
no connection with the scheme at. all.
He declared that ho simply nskod for a letter
at thorcqucstof africndandhohadnoknowl-
edge of tbo contents. \Vullouhaupt was
informed that his story might bo perfectly
correct , but ho would bo obliged to divulga
the nnmos of the parties interested in tbo
schema or suffer himself In thiir stead. Ho
finally gave the names of VV. G , Bruce of
South Omaha nnd U. Do Joel ot Omaha as
being the guilty parties.
Two Confodurittcs Captured.
Warrants were issued for tholr arrest and
at 11 o'clock Friday night Mr. Bruce was
taken into custody , and yesterday forenoon
Mr. Do Joel was arrested.
When the deputy marshal and Inspector
Brown bccumo convinced that Wnltonhuupt
had told the truth about his connection with
the case ho was released , but will bo used as
a witness.
W. G. Bruce has been for some time em
ployed in the business ofllco of n largo pack *
ing house at South Omaha. His father Is the
European agent for the samu concern , and it
is said that Bruce comes of it family very
highly roapectca.
Do Joel is a young man formerly employed
by the Bradley Manufacturing company.
Ho and Bruca have boon chums for several
months and Wallonhaupt was simply an ao-
qimintnnco.
The preliminary examination will probably
dlvulgo the fact as to whether or not these
young men hud any connection with the
ICansas City Sun or whether they were sim
ply using the reputation of that sheet as a
club with which to extort money by a black *
mailing process.
Ilruce Alga Ilolcusnil.
Mr. Bruce stated to the United StnUu at
torney and Commissioner Dundy that ho had
nothing to do with the blackmailing lotion.
Ho stated that ho wont to the county jail lute
Friday night at the urgent request of Do
Joci and then started out to sojuro a bonds
man for his friend. Ho was surprised whoa
ho returned to his hotel and found an ofllcor
awaiting him with a warrant for hla arrest.
Ho thought that Do Joci must huvo fur
nished the Information which causea his ar
rest , but declared that bo had nothing tn do
with writing the letter. Mr. Bruce was co-
Icusod but DC Joel was bold.
Fully Kxonomtud.
District Attorney Baker has written th
following letter to the mother of Mr.Val -

above case ;

Rumors of a change in Union Pacilio affairs
from Gould to Vunuorbilt management con
tinue to accumulate , A railroad man on the
inside says that the Now York Central mag *
nates , who have a powerful interest In the
Northwestern , bavo been Investigating tbe
causa of an alleged fulling off in the transcontinental -
continental trutilc of tbo latter road.
Under tbe compact of IBtf the Union Pa-
clllo should turn over Itx oast-bound business
to tbo Northwestern , but It Is alleged that
Gould is delivering a largo sllco of this traftlo
to the Missouri Pacific. Some time ago Tun
IKK ! explained a schema in operation to send
truftlo cast from Omaha by wav of thu Mis-
Hour ! Pnclllu and the Santa Fa to Chicago ,
lly that deal the Missouri 1'aclllc gets 40 per
cent of tua earnings Irotn Onintiu to Chicago ,
whtlo the Norihwe&torn gets loft.
That arrangement does not rob the Union
Pacific , but it Is now asserted that consider
able oast-bound business is being diverted
from the Union Pacitlo ut Cheyenne to tbe
Doiivur Pacific , which turns it over to the
Missouri Pacilio at Denver. This Is said to
bo one of the discoveries resulting from the
Vnndorbllt Investigation.
