that our business men failed to give the

Imprcss'on of our prosperous city. They cer
tainly did the best they could on the short
notice they had , and If anything was lacking
U was an error of the head and not of the
heart. The object of this visit of the Omaha
Commercial club U to become better ac
quainted with our business men and encour
age as much as possible the use of Nebraska

' BABY WAS A TERROR.
Made Itself Quito Cheerful with a Lady's
Hod Nose.
It was a very cunning little child , Just be-
glnnng to talk , and Its mother manipulated
It so as to show Its sweetness to the best ad
vantage for the rest of the passengers. The
lady who sat beilde them other on the cross
scat of the car smiled at It , the woman oppo
site chirped at It , the man across the aisle let
It play with hts cane. Amid all these atten
tions the little ono crowed and laughed and
squirmed around In the very ecstacy of
pleasure.
Every now and then , however , the child
turned toward the lady next to It , and re
garded her with fixed admiration. Finally It
put out Its chubby hand and cautiously felt
her nose through her veil. Then everybody
looked at the nose and saw that It was very
red. Conscious of thin observation the
woman with the rod noaa got red cheeks and
a red neck. Tha note In thd meantime
lighted up like a beacon , greatly to the de
light of the baby , who grabbed at It under
the Impression , evidently , that the nose had
been colored for Us especial enjoyment.
"Plttyl" cried the child , trying at the
same Unto to take hold of the nose.
The unfeeling man , with whose cane the
baby had been plyalng , grinned as ho picked
up the discarded stick , and the mother tried
to choke the baby off with kisses. The other
women smiled sweetly ail but the woman
with the red nose. She was mad enough to
bite the child's head off. But the little Inno
cent began to pinch Us mother's nose and
make a mental comparison between that
organ and the note shining through the veil ,
rhls was certainly odious. But the closer
the Infant studied the two noses the more
satisfied It appeared to be that the red nose
wan the prettiest and most desirable. 60
It playfully grabbed for the red nose once
more , to the equal discomfiture of the owner
3f the note and the owner of the baby. At
that plant the woman with the rod nose :
irose and made for the door , the baby began
to yell with disappointment , and the specta-
Lors laughed merrily.

NEW YORK , Juno 17. Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street :
"In our advices of last week we called
attention to certain symptoms that London
'was likely to soon show nn Increased In
terest In our becurltlcs. Our forecast haa
been confirmed by the course of the market
during the past week. England has over
estimated the gravity of our coal strike and
on that account , as well ns for other pes
simistic forbodlngs , London has sold certain
of ous stocks quite freely and become 'short'
on them. That market Is now taken by
surprise at the greater facility with which
we settle these disturbances than do the
British coal barons , and the prospect of an
early end of the trouble has this week led
to a considerable buying In behalf of London ,
the stocks principally In demand having
been St. Paul , Heading , Atchlson & Topeka
and Louisville & Nashville. The purely
monetary conditions at that center arc ex
ceptionally favorable to speculative opera
tions. With money at ! 4 per cent on call
and % per cent on three months' bills In the
open market , and with gold still piling up
hughly In the 13ank of England , a con
dition of things exists which cannot but
compel cither Investment In legitimate se-
.cnritles or resort to the creation of some
sort of speculative enterprises.
"The great drawback to Investment has
been the growing feeling of apprehension ex
cited by the political tension attendant on
the exhaustive military expenditures of the
European powers and the consequent dan
gers of a precipitation of widespread war.
These fears have lately been mitigated by
the friendly relations unexpectedly estab
lished between Germany and Hussla. In the
higher political and financial circles It Is
hinted that efforts arc now being made to
push these specific achievements to a still
further advantage. There Is reason to be
lieve that two of the leading powers best
calculated to broach the suggestion without
exciting Jealousies are considering a pro
posal , to be submitted to the European
powers , with a view to staying any further
crease of military and naval expenditures fo
a term of years , pending which tentative ex
pertinent , It Is hoped that a way may be foum
for a general reduction of armaments and th
abatement of the International jealousle
which have given rise to the present destruc
tive condition of armed peace. Certainly , th
reasons for such a policy could not bo mon
urgent or desperate ; and If all be true tha
U whispered as to the states and the states
men who are understood to favor this pro
posal there Is reason to hope that It may
come to some promising Issue.
"The almost unprecedented dangers at
tending the present military situation o.
Europe suggests such 'imperative reasons for
a halt In the downward rush to destruction
that It would seeinualmost Inevitable that
such an appeal nnisti.be heeded. In sucli
event , the suspense' tlftft now holds Europear
enterprise In paralysis would give place tea
a universal revival of confidence , and the
Idle wealth of Europe would come out of
Us hoards and 'contribute to a universal
revival of producilva'and constructive oper
ations. It Is surely Impossible that the
outcome of the IvlUzation of these times
can bring forth nothing better , than polit
ical'-niddncEs and suicide ; wo may there
fore , hope that 'this Bloom ot the European
outlook Is but thd 'pre > udc of a great saving
effort to conserve and perpetuate the vast
modern progrcssmfcthc nations. These ore
matters tiufirdcefcly ! underlie the present situation
uation- , financial ' affairs and the prospects
of every" form of.'flnvestmcnt In the early
future , Whatever lends to the revival of
confidence and enterprise In Europe Is .of
vital Importance to progress on this side of
the Atlantic. Wo are rapidly drifting
towardra greater solidarity of Interests be
tween this country and the old world. We
are destined to a broader commingling with
the world's markets ; and It Is on the new
continent that the old must find the most
profitable employment for Its accumulating
wealth. Remotely , therefore , as these for
eign factors may at first sight seem to
bear upon the Investment Interests of the
United States and on the financial forces
centering In this market , It Is more than
possible that before the present year closes
wo may find that new assurances of Euro
pean peace contribute a valuable stimulus
to revival throughout , this country. "

however , rose 2 % on Investment buying.
American railroad securities were again

the securities of bankrupt concerns. Atchl

I'rnspecti for a Restricted Crop ot Host
lixccllcnt Quality.
The following Is Messrs. Dan Talmage'8
? onn bulletin No. 2 , rice crop , datel June *
15. t4s
In the Btutei along- the Atlantic cciut
there has been fair progress. Present condl-
ion good , but with reduced area only about
ihree-fourtho average to be expected , Ite-
> orts from Louisiana are depressing , with
irospects of a Into and light crop With
the exception of a few highly favored
ooulltlea , conditions hnve been most con-
rary and the outlook for crop not nearly
10 prornUIn ? as ' last month. Until the
present week there hna been ntmcst nn
utter absence of moisture , no Inconnldernblo
per cent of the earlier plantings killed out-
right. Reserves of water heavily drawn
upon nnd In many Instances exhausted ,
lleneral rnlns are reported In the current
week. 1'lnntliiff bus bcn resume * ! and will
extend Into the eomliiR month. The total
acreage IB likely to be less tlmn for sev
eral years. The crop , however , ought to
bo of a lilKh order , ns peed wan good ,
ground exceptionally free from grass nnd
methods of culture Krently Improved.
North Carolina-Pluming l practically
completed. Acreage not materially dif
ferent from that cf last year. The expense -
pense and rlfk In tide water bus caused
some to discontinue , but this Ifl more than
counterbalanced by extension ns mife points
up the rlvcrp , aloni ? streams and on up
lands. The crowliiK Interest In newer
parts Is stimulated by the low ptlces In
cotton and other products. Complaint"
nre- exceptional , the early plantings well
under way , very line and clean.
South Carolina Knrly plant In wood con
dition , growing nicely , but srnroely so far
advanced as u nnl , Weather for past
month diy nnd intprfurltiK with Into peed *
mif. AcrenKi- less than last year , but ns
best lands have been taken up outcome
will closely nr.pro.ich average.
CleorRla Planting Is over and acretwo
about one-third Ics.i than last year. Early
ciop retarded by cold nlijlitp , but alnnd Is
peed , as Is also the case with later plant-
Louisiana With the exception of a few
highly favored localities , conditions have
been most contrary and the outlook for
crop Is lint nearly so piomlslni ? ns lasl
month. With little or no rain In soutn-
west Louisiana until the present week ,
the ground has been sun-baked so hard
that a plow could not be driven through It ,
nnd suspension of planting | g enforced. The
absence of moisture has been most serious ,
no Inconsiderable per cent of the earlier
planting , especially among "providence
crops , " being killed outright. Reserves of
water laid by for later perlcxls
have been heavily drawn upon and
In many Instances exhausted. The
upper and lower coasts have also
suffered severely for want of rain , although
not nearly so much ns In-lying parishes.
The river Is so low that svphons fall and
pumping Is resorted to. Kvcn the latter
In many Instances Is only of service within
two or three acres of the bank ; that more
remote threatened with extinction. There
will be more planting along the upper nnd
lower coast , llnlns in the current week
are encouraging. Planting has been gen
erally .resumed and will extend over Into
comliiK month. While prospects are more
favorable , unless there be marvelous worn
done In Cnlcasleu and other snuthwestcin
parishes , the total acreage Is likely to be
less than for several years past. The character
actor of crop , however , ought to be of
high order , ns seed was good , ground ex
ceptionally free of grass and methods ol
culture Improved. It has been clearly
demonstrated that thorough cultivation-ami
a judicious use of fertilizers nro of benefit ,
Insuring success under conditions which
would ordinarily destroy the crop.
Other States In other states there Is but
little grown nnd only for local nnd personal
use , except In Florida and Texas. These
report enlarging area , conditions generally
favorable and stand good.

Fluctuations anil Feature * of the Trading
on Sntnrduy. *
CHICAGO , Juno 10. Bearish news was
largely In the majority today and July
wheat closed with a loss of % c. July corn
closed Uc lower , but oats and provisions
acted Independently nnd closed firm. OpenIng -
Ing trades In wheat were at from He to % c
decline and gradually sold down Ic , rallied
from % c to V6c , changed some and closed
lower. The weakness was due mostly to the
rains , the lower cables and very limited ex
ports. Offerings were quite liberal at the
start , with shorts covering , .but the supply
was much greater than the demand and the
market ruled weak. There was some selling
of July and buying of September by the ele
vator Interest , and this had a weakening
tendency , especially for July. There was
also an Impression that deliveries on July con
tracts might possibly bo qulto free and this
added some decision to the market and was
looked upon as a bearish factor. There was
some unfavorable crop news , but It cut
llttlo figure. The market rallied some to
ward the close , Influenced by stronger conti
nental cables nnd covering by shorts.
Corn was weak on rains and free selling.
The range for the day was % c.
Oats were unsettled within lUc range for
July. An early break on the rains was fol
lowed by liberal buying and the market
closed steady.
Provisions were firm on buying , presumably
by shorts. The higher Liverpool market
added to the strength. Compared with last
night July pork Is 27'/ac higher , July lard
lOc higher and July ribs lOc higher.
Vessel room In limited demand ; rates easy
at Ic for corn to Buffalo.

OMAHA 1.1 Vi : STOCK MARKET.
Week Closes with Another Good Hun of
of Cattle anil
SATURDAY , Juno 10.
Cattle supplies have not been as largo as
last week , yet values have depreciated very
materially. The figures are as follows :
Cutllc. Hogii. Sheep
Receipts this week. . . . 11,405 M.W3 G.G08
Ilt'celpts last week. . . . 17,050 67,057 4KS ! ;
Same week last year. . 11,933 20,5.19 1,00. ! ,
The marketing early In the week caused
buyers to be bearish later on and the close
today found the market In a demoralized
condition , especially on thin and rough '
stock. Beef cattle values arc anywhere from : '
20c to 40c lower , cows 20o lower and stackers
and feeders 20c to 40o lower thun Monday.
The depression began on Wednesday and
continued the rest of the week , the market
proving most unsatisfactory to shippers.
The condition of the trade today was the
very worst seen here In a long time , not so
much from the decline In prices , which was
bad enough , but from the fact that there
was llttlo desire to take many of the cattle
,
it even low prices. The market In general
was lOc to 15c lower on the fair to good
jcct and shipping steers , while on some of
the grassy , warmed up steers prices wcro ,
iven lower , If they received a bid at all.
Cows and heifers were also slow sale and
lOc to 15c lower all around , The supply
ivas not excessive , but , as on the steer mar-
< et , there was absolutely no life to the trade.
Dulls , oxen , stags , calves , and , In fact , all
: lasses shared In the general decline , the
narket closing very dull and weak at the
lecllne.
There was no Improvement In the feeder
rade from that of yesterday. Values on In- '
'erlor grades are as low as they generally
; et , and plenty of stock cattle have been
: arrled over day after day for want of a
mrchaser willing to pay anywhere near a
iutlsfactory price.
Free marketing characterized the hog
luslness again this week , the run almost
iquallng last week's big supply. During
ho early part of the week free buying from
ill sources held up price * well , bul Thurs-
lay iho market took a down turn and 15c
