YORK , March 27. Henry Clews ,
head o ! the banking lioueo of Henry Clews
& Co. , wrltcfl of the situation In Wall ntrcct :
Wall street continues to tnko color en
tirely from the Cuban situation. Tile wall-
Ins for the report of the naval board of
Inquiry line hml a depressing effect ; the
more eo becnttso the expectation has now
become general that It will declare the do-
etructlon of the Maine to have been caused
by un external force. At the same time
the conviction has become more positive
from day to day that the president has
djcldcd upon an early presentation of de
mands to Upaln that "must bring the ques
tion of pcaco or war to a direct test. This
feeling has become so general that the
hope ! ) of peace huvo almost disappeared
nnd there Is a general discounting of the
probabilities of war. The marine Insur
ance companies arc Issuing war policies
and nil the risks that un impending- war
suggests are being provided against. Under
tilt * * circumstances the tranaactlons on
the stock exchange have fallen to about
half their usual volume nnd the course of
jirlcts has been ateadlly downward. The
feeling In view of the probabilities of war
has no feature of alarm about It. The
possibility of n struggle has been already
anticipated , with the result of an average
dcc.lno In prices of about twenty points.
The opinion Is quite general that this
shrinkage Is quite sulllclent for any effect
the war can legitimately have upon the
value of Investments , and stocks are con
sidered Intrinsically cheap and a good In
vestment. Notwithstanding- Is conceded
that , In the event of rnoro directly threat
ening complications arising , or In the case
of a dec aratlon of war , there would be
n further sharp drop in prices and that
consequently the best time for buying will
bo after those contingencies have hap
pened. In proportion ns the probabilities
of war 'appear to Increase the disposition
to sell "long" stock Increases , with a view
to buying back at the possibly lower
prices ; and to this extent the Increasing
chances for war have a depressing effect
upon prices. Hut all this Is In effect a
discounting of the worst possibilities and
therefore should have some supporting
effect upon the market In the event of war
occurring. In any tvent , with the prevail
ing general expectation that our govern
ment will mnku demands upon Spain which
It will resist , It Is to be Inferred that there
wli'i bo nn Indisposition to buy stocks un
til the Issue of tiie present situation Is
reached. It that Issue should fortunately
bo u peaceful settlement the effect on
prices admits of no question ; If It should
be war there would at first bu a sharp
fall In values , nnd what would follow' that
must depend upon u variety of circum
stances connected with the vicissitudes of
war whlc.i cannot , now be foreseen , As In
the case of our own civil war the course
of speculation would follow the ups nnd
downs In the varying ! fortunes of the Strug-
file nud the Immediate prospects ns to Its
outcome ? . From this point of view It Is
not to bo expected that the movements of
the stock market will bo much Influenced
pendliiji the present suspense , by thu In
trinsic value or earning' capacity of cor
porate properties , but principal.y by the
probabilities as to what prices they maj
touch under these future uncertain condi
tions. Holders of corporate mortgages are
to some extent realizing upon them at their
present relatively high pricas , with a view
to Investing the proceeds In stocks when
a favorable opportunity s.iall present Itself
"Whilst there has been no change In ou
Btralned relations with Spain , each day add
to the prevailing conviction that matter ,
iwdll be shortly brought to a crisis by th
government making a definite demand will
a view to- ending the Cuban struggle. Thl
country has In so many ways committee
Itself to the cause of the Cubam * and ha
so prolonged Its 'forbearance , that It la fel
that the time has now come when consist
cncy requires that we ehould demand n set
tlomcnt. aiVI the sufferings of the natlvffl
have reached such a degree of fcvorlty ate
to give greater force and Imprt-sslveness to
this view. The administration appears to
'appreciate this condition of opinion In con
cress and among the people nnd Is evident !
preparing to glvo voice , to It In some form
of active remonstrance. It Is anticipate
that the president's contemplated messng
will reveaS Iris line of policy under the-iclr
cumstanccs , nnd It Is expected to be of a
character that -will raise an Issue with
Spain. Under those circumstances the pub
lie feeling- raised to a high state of ten
sion and the revelations of next week ar
lookfi'l ' to n.i possibly fraught with very Im
portant results. It Is possible , however , th
president's prudcncn and his desire to afford
every opportunity for escaping the last re
port of war may keep his remonstrance
within pacific limits , which would afford a
welcome relief to the nppre-hens'.on felt In
business circles , but In the meantime every
body deems It prudent policy to rcstrlc
operations until further light Is thrown
upon the future course of affairs.
Wlil'e at iiresent all eyes arc fixed upoi
conditions wh'.ch ecm to point to actua
war , yet It Is not to bo lost sight of tha
qulto possibly Influences of a more paclll
n.vture may ? eon come Into play. When tw
nations negotiate In the presence of thel
assembled forces the sense of responsibility
becomes much moro nctute , and at tha
fltago other nations arc apt to step In t
prevent the Impending catastrophe. In th
present case the commercial and financla
Interests of the loading powers arc so dl
rcctly. nnd In ? omo cases so very largelj
concerned that It seems almost Inevltnbl
that some kind o-f influence will be exerclset
by 'forelcn ' governments In the Interest o
peace. This may be found to afford oppor
tunltles for avoiding war not at presen
taken Into account by public opinion ; but a
the s.ime time It suggests the prolong.itlor
rather than the shortening of the period o
suspense. Under this complexity of con.1l
itluna speculation becomes the moro uncer
tain , and the prudent course In purchasln
eecurltles Is to buy either outright or ela
on Increased margins. It Is certainly pru
dent for those that cannot do this to kce
out of the market for the present.

NI3W YORK , March 27. The Flnnncle
pays : The statement of the clearing1 .house
banks for New York for the week shows n
continued decrease In loans and deposit
nnd nn Increase In cash. The result of the
week's changes was to Increase the re
nerve { 5.791,425. , the total Idle cash In bank
now being $33,8,11,473. The banky , there
fore , are In a stronger position In this re
epect than since the beginning of Feb
ruary , but It cannot bo said that the oper
ntlona by which this Increase has been
brought about have been profitable to
tftem. Their loans have fallen off eve
* 46.000fOO In five weeks nnd the deposit
have decreased moco than $ , " ,0,000,000. , Th
cash In banks at the close of the curren
week , -however , was Just about equal to
the total reserve ) reported ono month npo
The heavy changes In loans and deposit
have been dueIn part to liquidation , am
the semi-panicky feeling creeping over th
financial world since the Mulno affair. Un
less some definite disposition Is made o
the Cuban matters In the' next few day
one of the finest prospective seasons In
history will be partially ruined. It ls > enl >
natural that tbe New York banks dhouU
put themselves on the strongest posslbl
footing' , slnco a sudden demand for cur
rency will first fall on them , and It mus
be said that they have risen to the emer
Kf-ncy. Their money Is under strict con
trol and the continued Imports are Increas
log their cash revrves from week to week.
One bank with a $30,000,000 reserve report
over J2S.OOO.OCO In specie. The week'
changea havt > no especial significance othe
than what has been pointed out In thl
analysis for nearly a month past. The
decrease of $7,110WO In loans shows tha
liquidation still continues and a loss * o
$1,845,000 legal tenders reflects pretty accu
rate4y the movement toward the Interior
The iinln of $7,130,704 In specie was brough
about by the receipt of Imported frold. The
void holdings of the banks have cxpandei
(17,000,000 In the last thirty days , but In
the eimo time legal tenders "have decieasci
In almost exactly the same amount. In
other worda the legal tenders have gone
to the Interior , while Imports of specie hav
filled the vacuum. It ttanda to reason
that the money supply la larger than ever
and were It not for the uncertainty of th
present out'ook. rates would be lower than
for months past. A It Is g.od ! Import
will likely continue until somethlm

W. II. Roberson , local manager of n. O.

ays : I
"The spring hog packing season opened
ho 1st of March nnd at the close of the
Irst four weeks South Omaha showa n gain
of 13,000 hogs over the same period last
ear. While these figures appear small
hey are proportionately ns large as the fig
ures shown for Chicago and Kansas City ,
"Ttlio week Just past , In splto of some c. -
> eclally unfavorable weather conditions ,
IBS been favorable to retail trade nnd the
obbers have _ been as busy as ever. One
raveling man for a harness and saddle cs-
abllshment returned from a week's trip ,
during which he sold $10,000 worth of goods ,
and the three wholesale houses In this line
ill report the largest trade ever experienced
n their line. This Is significant , not only
as an Indication of the Improved conditions
here , but because It Indicates great activity
on the farms and In the towns and villages
hrotighout the west. In .every single line
of trade from agricultural Implements to
cob pipes the territory Immediately trlbu-
ary to Omaha Is alive nnd sales are as-
: onlshlng oven the most sanguine of our
obbers. If these conditions are maintained
t seems entirely certain for the next six
months we may confidently count upon a
number of new houses for this distributing
center.
In exposition circles war and rumors of
war occasion comparatively little uneasi
ness. The .pood . work of preparation pro
ceeds with skill nnd diligence. Hotels and
odgtng houses arc being rapidly constructed
vnd reconstructed and I begin to feel now
: hat our facilities fop handling1 the crowd ? ,
loth In the matter of transportation and
; iotel accommodations , will be equal to the
requirements , thoup.i It Is still n matter of
egret that our high class hostelrles will
overtaxed.
Among financiers them Is very sharp
criticism of the conduct of certain bidders
'or city and county bonds who have delib
erately defaulted upon their bids. It Is the
; cneral opinion , however , that there Is no
jond pool , but that ambitious , overreaching
brokers are refponslble for the delays and
lefaults of the bidders. The credit of this
community Is not Impaired. The bonds
complained of are quite as valid today ns
on the date of the original bids. The flimsy
: > rctcxt of Invalidity after their validity has
: ) ccn Judicially passed upon Is discreditable ,
even to 'plunders. ' I am glad to see the
reputable Investment brokers of the east
disclaim nil responsibility for them. "

All itold only thirty-nil ) rresn loaau or cat

a real test of Mm market , certainly not
enough to Interest buyers to any great ex
tent.
tent.Beef
Beef Steers While a large proportion of
all 'the ' cattle here were beef steers , there
were so few In that It did not cut much fig
ure. The buyers , however , wanted the cattle
and they tok nil offerings at Just about
steady prices. The market , OB usual at the
close of the week , waa without feature of
Interest or Importance.
Butchers' Stock As a buyer remarked , It
iwas slim picking this morning. There were
very few loadp of tows find heifers In the
yards In addition to the few oJds and end ? .
As was tha case with fat cattle the market
did not show any material change , values
being just about steady on all kinds.
Stock Cattle There were no fresh stock-
era or feeders In the yards to spiak of , and
the market was nominally steady. The de
mand for light stackers or anything on the
calf order holds up exceedingly well. The
country still wants that kind of cattle and
Is willing to pay good prices. Half fat cat
tle , on , the other hand , have not sold so well
for feeders. This ' ! due , In part at least ,
to the fact that a good many of the unfin
ished and half fat1 cattle that have been
coming In are not very1 'desirable ' for feeders.

With only sixty-firs loads on sale the trade
was soon over with , ithe hogs being all told

The offerings were pretty well divided between
sheep and lambs. While the quality waa fair
there was nothing equal to the Fort Collins

Diiycrs seemed to want the offcr'ngs and were
bidding fully steady. If not strong prices. At
the same time the market was a little slow ,
owing to the fact that sellers were asking pretty
stiff prices. A big bunch of Mexican wethers
