CHICAGO. J.in. ST. The opinion that Ai

Btrc.iHtliei.cil toOny und principally froi
what n.ircurctl lo 1)0 his nianlpuliillons tli
price iltcllncd Hie from Saturday's clos"
Corn nml ontB suffered from free ren.lzln
nnd declined % c awl He rcs < iiccllvcly. I'n
visions opened higher , but lost the advanc
nnd closed tit practically unchanged prlcci
Wheat at the opening was wild nnd price
Irregular , but the buying sentiment wn
for the moment In the. lead nnd some c
the transactions wcro nt lie advance ovc
the close of the day before. Hut It wu
icon found that Armour was a hcnvy sallsi
Ills brokers let the crowd have nil I
wanted at the opening and followed th
market ns It wont oft. Kor n lime th
trade rcndlly nbsotbed nil the offerings
but nn there wns realizing miles by th
trade at largo und by outsiders the mnrkc
began to weaken. It u'.so bccnmo ovlden
early that there would not bo ns large
< lecren.se In the visible ns expected mi
Mils tended to Increase the weakness nn
there wns it gradual decline of Hie fret
the early price. Hut on the break the trad
thought It discovered Unit Armour ha
changed his tactics nnd had turned buyei
Ills wiles curly , while the market wns lltic
tun Him between CJ' ' o and CGc , wcro though
lo have been fully 1,500,000 bu. , but .vht :
the pi Ice had fallen lo Gl c his brokers wor
active buyer * nnd the market quK-lcl ;
btrcngthfiicd , notwllhstandlng the vlsllil
decrease was not h lf tia larg
us expected , nnd the uncos soul
reacted nearly Ic. The strong point
In the rarly naws were nn advnnc
of Id In the price at Liverpool , modeivil
gnlns nl l-nrl.s and llerllr. nnd n corroctloi
of the Argentlno wheat shipments for th
week lo SH.OUO bu. Instead of 210,000 bit. n
reported Saturday. As against those matter ;
however , there were the northwestern if
cclplH , Minneapolis nnd Muluth rciiortlni
7l ! I earn , u big Increase , The eohl wuv <
predicted for Sunday proved to be of i
very mild type. Still the opinion In unit
generally entertained that the plant ha
already Buffered material Injury nnd Is n
present In n very exposed condition. Thi
market got another lively rally after thn
on a report of doubtful authenticity , tnyliij
thin thu present raison'st crop.of Argcntlm
v.hcat was too poor for snlpment. Th2 prlc <
reacted to C5V4o on that and the Kllll under
lying fear of Atmour manipulation. Ii
fact , Armour was n considerable factor nl
through the session. The crowd wns In
dined to think that his open selling u
the Dtnrt wns designed to deceive and 11:1
wan strengthened by his buying nttltucl
later. Not much attention was pnlil to tin
disappointment In the visible supply. Ma ;
opened nliout % c up nt from Gjftu to GG'fcc
fell gradually to fi4c , sold tip to ( i5Uc nnd a
noon was down to Glc. The mnrket wn :
easier during the last hour and there wni
frco realizing and short Felling , which grail
ually sent May off to CHtc , nt which prlc (
It closed.
The trading In corn was moderately brlsl
nnd the chief feature of It wns the lukliii
of profits by people who had bought on Sat >
unlay. II opened strong In sympathy will
wheat , but tended downward during tin
remainder of the day. The big Increase Ii
the visible supply , nearly 3,000,000 bu. , lint
n decided weakening effect. May corr
started practically unchanged at from 20-4 <
to 31c , sold off to 30c and closed nt fron
SOc to S0c bid.
Oats were very weak , but nctlvc. Fron
the Ural there were hcnvy offerings , longs
principally realizing on their holdings nml
Inking advantage of the recent ndvnnuo.
May opened unchanged at from UTfcc to 21Mc ,
sold nt Z2c , declined to 21c and closed al
21Uc bid.
In provisions the light run of hogs gave
the market , n strong opening and quite n
peed trade was done nt tin advance of from
12VAC to IGc In Mny pork and from 7V-c tc
lOc In Inrd nnd 7Hc In ribs. The domain ;
at those prices wns quickly supplied am
during the rcmnlnder of the session the
crowd wns gradually supplied with what
they got orders for at gently declining
prices. At the end May pork was selling
at SlO.fl ! , May lard at $0.05 and Mny ribs
at fS.4714 , being n rise of 2' ' c for the day
In pork and unchanged for lard nnd ribs.
The estimates for Tuesday are : Wheat ,
JO cnrs ; corn , 375 cars ; oats , 335 cars ; hogs ,

Inert-line lit Activity.
NKW YORK , Jan. 27.-Thc stock market today -
day enjoyed a decided Increase In activity ,
JuilgeiJ by recent records , and the volume of
business was unusually well distributed. The
largo dealings coveted both the railroads and
Industrials. Sugar led with 3SWO , with
St. Paul second with 31.SW. The
course of prices , a temporary ccl-
Itfick ciccpted , wns uniformly toward n
higher level , nnd buying WIIB ICM exclusively
professional than hcrelofore. A variety of In-
llucnces predisposed the street tt > the bull side.
Tlio chance or nny serious contention between
( bis cuunlry and Great Ilrllaln ( bat cannot
be nmingcd dlptomalleally Is now generally
regarded to l > e remote , Then again , nssumnces
of the successful carrying out of Hie new
government loan Is doubly assured , nnd In ( he
best Informed circles nppre.Unslon of Impend
ing slrliiRcncy In Ihe money market II H been
dlsslpaled. Furlhermorc ( he cnsy tendency of
money rnca Is exiiecled lo soon extend lo I ho
market for commercial paper , where nt present
the Inquiry fur even choice grades Is only nom
lnnl.
lnnl.The opinions arc now more generally confident
of favoiable developments nt Tliurwlny'it meeting
of the unthinclle conl presidents. Oreat Inter
est la being nllachcd to tlu progress that Is
being made In the efforts to settle the long
drawn dldlcultlca of the lending mining nnd
earning companies. It la expected lliat In the
event of 11 pctllemcnt on ptvinancnt lines the
re < > iganlzatlon of the Rending would bo readily
hurried Ihrough , and the well known policy
of Ihe bankers In charge ,1s to work up n favor
able sentiment through manipulation of the
general market. A weaker tendency In the
sterling oxclinnge- market Is believed to have
effectually dlypjsed of the question of gold ex
ports up n an exchange basis for the Immediate
future. Ixnidon prices came higher nnd ( nitty
largo btiylnu for foreign account was noted
In tills market. A number of favorable ex-
hlbltn of railroad rattilngs which came lo
.mud , nnd notably the St , Paul figures for De
cember , showing an Increase In gross of ) B < Sl,12j
ami an Increase In net of $333,011 , exerted n
decidedly stimulating Influence upon the specu
lative fcntlment , Tlie mnrket opened strong
and gains npi .v aching n point were scored early
In a number nf Instances. The upwatd move
ment wns checked by sales to take prollln be
fore noon nnd by vigorous drives against Sugar
nnd Tolmcco , forcing those stocks down 1T40
2U per cent respectively. The decline In thu
IIi-Ht wns bared upon the now very familiar
n-pnrt of the probable Incrcnxo by the Gel man
RclchsUir In the bounty paid to ( he German
expoid-rs of the commodity.
T.ie declines In the genctal list were not
heavy , but many shares receded ( o below Halur-
day's closing llgures. About 1 o'clock , how
ever , n iiilly marled , , which carried stocks to
the best figures of the day , with St , Paul , Read
ing , Leather preferred nnd Reck Island most
conspicuous In the active list. Consolidated Gas
sold up 4 pcr cent on further rumors ot u

CATTLE There were hardly enough cat
tle here to make n market , only twcnty-
clght lontls being reported In the yards.
U was the lightest run of entile of any
day since the llrst of the year. Other mar
kets \vero reported better and the position
of the sellers was strong , with light receipts
nnd good demand on their side.
Thu market could be summed up In n
very few words tlio buyers wanted cattle-
nnd they went out nnd bought them without
letting thu mnttcr of prlco stand In the
wny. The result wns nn advance In values
on all kinds of killing cnttlc , amounting , on
nn average , to about lOc. As usual on such
marketD , the advance was uneven , some cat
tle tolling way up , while others were not
RO fortunate. Some good liny-fed westerns
brought $1.10 , but they Were good stuff.
Some fnlrlsh native steers sold nt $3.03 nnd
J3.S5. In the line of butchers' slock there
we-ro some right good grain-fed western
heifers that reached 53.50 , while ns high ns
$3.30 was paid for cows. The market wns
active nt the advance nnd everything
changed hands In short order.
The trade In stockers nnd feeders was
of very little Importance for the Inck of
cattle of that description. The few sold
nt good strong prices. Representative sales :

CHICAGO , Jan. 27. In cattle offerings were BC
light and there were so many orders on tin
market that buyers were compelled to stand < i
ralso of atout from lOc to 15c on desirable dressed
liccf , shipping and extra beef. Common to cxtrn
steers were salable at from $3.30 to $4.90 , Iwth
sales largely at from $3.80 to $4 50 , choice gnidet
being very scarce. Ilutchers' nnd cnnnrs' cat
tle were In fair supply nnd In good demand ,
prices ruling stronger. Cow nnd heifer sales
were hugely nt from $2.10 to $3.23 , and choice
calves weio firm at the recent ndvnnce. The
stocks and feeder trade was fair at stronger
prices , with pales largely nt from $3.40 to $3.80.
Texas entile were In good demand and prices
averaged a llttlo better.
In hogs sales were lively at further advances
of from lOo to 15c , buyerj competing eagerly
for the test droves. There were not nearly
enough to meet the wants of Chicago puckers
nnd eastern shippers. The Phoitage Is appar
ently BO jrreat that furlhtr good advances are
generally looked for , though after such a rapid
upwaid movement In prices tt temporary reac
tion would not be surprising. Sales ranged
at from $4.15 to $4.45 , with the bulk nl the trad
ing at from $4.30 to $4.40. The current lecelpts
ara smaller In weight than u few weeks ago.
In , sheep there was n brisk demand. Prices
wera lOc higher , ns a rule , nn < l the supply wns

Thcro 1ms been recently Introduced Into
congress a measure provUlIni ; for n chance
In the present organization of Infantry rtRl-
tncnts , ana. the iiropotxxl cliaugo la the sub
ject for discussion among military men
everywhere. If the measure Is adopted the
present division of n regiment Into ten com
panies drawn tip Into n single battalion would
bo abandoned and the organization of the
regiments so changed ns to provide for
twelve companies divided Into three bat
talions of four companies each.
General Mandcrson Is enthusiastic over
the proposed change. In fact , ho Introduced
a resolution with this end In view no loss
than three tline.-i while ho was n member
of the United States senate. Each time
the measure passed the senate , but It lacked
the support of a sufficient number ot repre
sentatives to become n law. Ucforo the
Forty-eighth congress General Manderson
made an extended argument In favor of the
change , nnd that speech Is receiving con
siderable attention now that the matter
has been brought up again.
"This single battalion orginlratlon Is a
most suicidal one , " said the ex-senator to a
Bee reporter recently. "It was all right
when the old-fashioned muzzle loader was
uosrt to have the ranks of Infantry as
solid as possible. The guns employed then ,
as In the civil war , could not carry more
than 300 yards with nny degrea of accuracy ,
but today the use of a gun that will carry
surely two miles makes absolutely neces
sary the employment of a three battalion
organization. Ily this method the regiment
going Into battle would present a front of
two battalions , with open ranks , while the
third battalion could be held back of the
other two to be uwd where the nesd for
it should prove greatest. With the long range
? uns now In us3 the men , drawn up In one
long line , as In the single battalion now the
: ustom , would stand no chance at all. Ths
'act that the United States , Persia and China
ire the- only nations today that employ the
single battalion principle of Infantry or-
; ar.izatlon Is sufficient to dcmnnd a change
.0 suit the modern arms now In general
ise. With China and Persia \vo art In nice
iompany , aren't we ? The efllclency of the
) recch loader Is many times that of the
ild time muzzle loading gun , and the ef-
Iclcncy of a regiment of Infantry In battle
oday would probably bo te-n times that of
i regiment In 'Cl. It Is necessary that we
change our formation for battle to suit thli
Increased cdlclency , and I'm glad that then
is a renewed effort to Introduce the threi
battalion arrangement. "

N of Mr. IlnHuwntor Hcforc tin
AVoiiiiui'H CIiili.
Edward Ilosewatcr spoke yesterday after
noon before the social and political sclenc :
department of the Omaha Woman's club 01
the subject , "Railroads and Their Uclatlor
to the Public. " This Is not one of the largi
departments of the club , but on this occa.
slon the number of visitors made It ad
visable to seek the auditorium upstairs.
* Mr. Uosewater spoke for over an hour ,
Sketching briefly the history of great Inter
national roadways of the ancient world , he
dwelt at length upon the great revolution
In the way of transportation which the last
seventy years has witnessed. He said It
was a great mistake to allow any Individual
or corporation to. control the destinies ol
people as Is the case when they hold In
their power tha whole result of the people's
Industry. Congress has the right to com
pel fair toll and square dealing with all ,
because "no railroad can bo terminal In
any state- , " but forms a part of a great in
ternational highway. Eventually It will be
best for congress to purchase and control
the railroads , but this Is not now expedient.
It would have been wlso for the government
to assume this' control during the civil war.
The buildings of railroads has been a matter
of speculation and there arc probably GO.OOO
miles more- than are neede : ! In the United
States. It is paying the Interest on rail-
read debts that Is causing most of the pres
ent financial depression.
Mr. Ilosewatcr spoke at length upon the
greatest evil arising from theo great cor
porations. In order to protect themselves
they nnd it necessary to ramify the whole
country with the-lr agents. Every legislature
swatms with their lobbyists , until now they
control so much representation that no law
which is the wish of the majority can be
passed.
Mr. Ilosowater's remarks were frequently
Interrupted by expressions of approbation and
as ho closed ho was grested by hearty
applause.
Two weeks from today the department
will hear an exposition of the question from
a prominent railroad official.
