NEW YORK , April 3. Henry Clews , hca
ot the banking house of Henry Clews & Co
writes of the situation In Wall street :
During- the last week business In Wa
Btrcct has been attended with some smgu
lar phnses of excitement nnd osclllatlor
On Saturday last Bet In a sharp covcrln
of n largo outstanding line ot "shorts ,
which was continued on Monday , accorr
panled with some speculative buying , wit
the result of a rise In prices ranging fret
3 to 8 points. At the same time the ofllclr
report on t'ne Maine disaster disclosed notl :
Ins calculated to raise alarm about ou
relations with Spain and the president'
confident hope of accomplishing a peaccft
Bcttlcmcnt of. the more general qucstlo
helped to produce a more hopeful feelln
through the market. These new aspect
of the political situation were construe
ns affording an opportunity for nt leas
a transient "bull" movement end thcr
was consequently an active imeculatlv
buying of stocks , principally by local prc
fesslonal operators. Tnls reversal of th
previous downward tendency of prices woi
howevtr , only momentary. On Thursda
realizing sot In , with an average drop t
2 points nnd prices have slnco continue
to decline. The wide oscillations ot price
throughout the week have been ns muc
dun to the speculative Hltuatlon as to an
real change In our relations with Spain c
t'no prospects as to peace or war.Va

Tncre Is one good feature In the othc ;
\vlso threatening situation. The condltla
of the foreign exchanges abundantly fort
lies us for the possible contingencies <

continue nnd up to date the consignment
to this port , via Atlantic nnd Pacific port
aggregate about f3OCO,000. ! Although thci

resenting HO much resource of early mi
tunng obligation ; ) cither to be liquidate
In gold , or extended , or settled for by tl
re-turn of securities In the event of n
acute war scare. This constitutes a n
Bourco amply sufllclent to protect 01
financial position In the event of the Ci
lian question developing Into actual wn
This fact alone shields us against the li
tcrnatlonnl financial derangements n'nlc
usually occur as ono of the Immedln
effects of the outbreak of foreign hostll
tics. Instead ot being exposed to the r
inlttanct- balances duo to foreign coui
tries we are In the position of a large :
creditor nation and able to cull homo
heavy amount of loans extended to oth
countries. It Is not easy to overestlmn
th ? value of this situation. Should tl
government be driven to the last resort i
war t'no banks would bo strongly pr
tcctcd nnd so the whole structure of con
mcrclal credit would be safe. Whatcv
other dangers or losses we might have
face we should be safe nt the point whe
our Internal system of finance Is most d
pendent. This fact would greatly contrl
xite toward averting ttio Interruption of li
Uustry which ordinarily sets In wlt'n tl
occurrence or foreign hostilities , nnd tber
fore should tend to provrnt any apprchc
Blon of really serious business dlstur
nnce. Moreover , war , notwithstanding I
OcstructlvcneHs , Is attended with Its ou
Bources of demand , which are by no mem
Inconsiderable. The effects of that d

markets , while fno effects of the destru
tlon do not show until a much later pcrlo
Tha first effects of the war of 1SG1-G3 we
apparent In a great Inflation of prices ai
un abnormal activity of trade : the rea
tlonary derangements were delayed un

strugglewe 'nnd only 1150,000,000 of gold

Vfar always becomes a serious question
sold resource , and this difference betwei
now and then Is un advantage of the u
most value ; the' more so as the threaten
war would bo of far Inferior mnpnltui
to that of thlrty-flvo years ago. Still , d
though wo mlgtu safely count upon t'ne
ameliorations of war when It had fair
Rotten under way , Its Immediate effc
would be a sharp shock to all livema
kets ; but , as that result has already be <
anticipated Its severer features would BOI
disappear and speculation would become
conspicuous feature ot business at larg
but especially In stocks.
At the moment It Is Impossible to for
Bee what may be t'no outcome of the pre
ent highly critical situation. It Is perha
Bate to say that the average expectatli
of the country Inclines much more to W ;
than peace ; and yet a pacific settlement
by no means Impossible. Apparently the
la no doubt that the president , as mui
as congress. Is resolved to accept no settl
went which does not provide for the 1
dependence of Cuba. That extent of co
cession Is so flatly opposed to the pride
Spain and to the dynastic responslbllltl
of the queen regent and would Invol
such political risks to the present govcr
ment that UB Immediate acceptance mu
be viewed as next to Impossible. The pr
posal , however , would afford a basis f
further negotiations and It would reran
to bo ecen what compensations foil the * .i
rlflco could bo offered by the Unit
States. If we are prepared to offer
Guarantee any financial cngagemen
w'nlch , whilst averting war , would recupt
ate the finances and credit of Spain , the
can bo llttlo doubt that the Kuropei
powers will apply n pressure In favor
our terms that would leave Spain h
choice between accepting our proposals ai
sacrificing all sympathy or help frc
other countries. Spain appears to have i
ready summarily rejected the presldeni
proposals for Cuban Independence and th
we are In t'no first phase of a most dIHlci
and sensitive negotiation , which Is BU
to Immediately bring International i
fluences Into play. The dangerous aspec
ot the situation will dally become me
impressive to the public eye and the p :
ular excitement must Increase. The me
serious danger of the moment , however ,
from the impatient members , ot congrei
who seem to prefer a warlike method f
, freeing Cuba. These negotiations must
allowed ttmo and patience If t'ney are
succeed and the president must bo ab :
lutely trusted and exempt from politic
meddling If ho Is to have a fair chan
for his plans. For Spain tp sell Cuba f
$100,000,000 would not appear to bo a sn
rlflcc , considering what various sections
this country were obtained at. In 1820
purchased Florida from Spain for $13,00
GOO ; In 1S04 wo purchased Louisiana frc
France , when Napoleon I was empen
and at the time of his great prestige
power , for $15.000,000 ; Texas was acqulr
from Mexico In 1833. The Inhabitants i
belled under Sam Houston and secur
their Independence. It came Into t
union as a state about 1846. Through <
war with Mexico we acquired Cullforn
but we had to whip them to get It , O
most recent purchase was Alaska , frc
Ilussla , for which we paid $ T,000COO.
President McKInley la not only the ch
pxecutlvo of the "G.000.000 population of t
United States , but Is communder-ln-ch
of t'ne army and navy of the nation. 1
Is vested with more power than any me
urch In the world , and when at this tryl
period the decision of war or peace Is In 1
hands he has the confidence of the peoi
fiiat he will continue to lead the nation
the right direction and carry It safi
through to the end. The people of tl
country must continue to back him wl
their entire faith and the hope f.iat
will do all things well , and charity I
mistakes , fhould there be any , and belle
that If there- are any they are of the he
and not of t'ne heart. We have had ami
evidence already that President McKlnl
Is a wise and conservative thief otJlc
nnd ho has a lieutenant In General Wo <
lord , vtho minister to Madrid , who has. i
quitted himself In a most creditable mi
ner.

CHICAGO , April i.-Wnr news , Instcni
of weakening the wheat market , wna todaj
Icclslvely a bull factor. The result wna thi
advance of lUo a bushel , which market
ho close. Apparently the belief that wai
s unavoidable was the cause of t'ne with
drawats of all offerings of wheat by Letter
v sharp advance at Liverpool , nnd a grentl ]
ncreased demand from Great Urltaln
There was a general covering movcmen
> y shorts. Coarse grain and provision :
were nlso strong. Corn closed HOvte higher
oats HBUc higher and provisions 7&12l <
ilghcr.
Wheat opened almost at call price , Ju1 ]
starting nt 8354i0S3T4c. against yestcrday'i
closing price of S2Ti )83c , and selling up li
i short time to 84 ic. Tno demand fron
> oth local and southwestern shorts wai
he most active In Borne time , nnd a goat
leal of difficulty was experienced In cover
ng lines of any Importance , as offering !
were scattered , nnd sharp competition re
suited. The heavy cash sales for cxpor
nnd domestic milling purposes during thi
ast week , which was the feature of yes
erday's strength , were evidently still In thi
minds of traders. Another factor was thi
sharp advance at Liverpool , where price !
were about Id above yesterday's. Thli
strength , reports of further heavy sales a
lie seaboard nnd n continued large dcmnni
'torn continental houses , lent strength ti
the theory w'nlch has been gradually grow
ng , that the actual outbreak of hostllltle
would mean nn Immediate advance li
> rlces , and it was generally believed tha
Liverpool was acting on this theory. Th
irade was much Influenced by the larg
business done in low grade wheat yester
day for export , one firm disposing of abou
iOO.OOO bu. Today's engagements were re
> orted equally 'neavy. Northwest receipt
were moderate , 290 cars , against 320 las
week and 2JG a year ago. Chicago recclvei
C7 cars , 31 of contract grade. The day's ad
tlltlon to the contract stocks amounted t <
about 112,000 bu. , 68 cars nnd 20,500 bu
coming from mixing1 houses. Ttio week'
clearances 'were put at 3,650,000 bu. A sllgh
decline followed the advance to 84c. hold
crs letting go n little more freely , but of
lerlngs were snapped up so quickly thn
after sagging to S43ic the market began t
climb again , and 'did ' not stop until 5c ha
been bid nnd ncceptcd. There t'no mnrkc
: icld for some time nnd a large buslncs
was done nt that figure. The announce
ments by Lcltcr's manager that he ha
withdrawn nil offers previously made fo
the disposal of wheat , and that notwlth
standing t'ne fact that bids were ver
heavy nnd from nil sources , no prlco woul
be named nt present. Much higher price
being expected In the event of war mad
shorts doubly anxious to get from undci
but the 2c ndvanco was too tempting fo
the average Violder and wheat soon cam
on the market In large quantities. The re
suit was a gradual decline In the prlc <
July finally petting' down to SlUc , wher
It closed. Defore the crowd left the pli
however , Sl ic was bid.
Corn wo" llrm and n good business wa
done. Shorts were largo buyers all daj
commission houses doing most of the sol :
Ing. The market was affected some b
wVieat , but a sharp advance In cables an
a good export demand were factors of equr
Importance. May ranged from 295I29'/c t
29Vio nnd closed % (8c ( higher at 2 % <
294c. .
Oats showed more nctlvlty than usua
with trade more general. The strength c
wheat nnd corn nnil largo clearances wer
Influences. Shorts wore the best buyer :
May ranged from 2jfT2oHc to 25V&C an
closed ttiiVic higher nt 2JVi025 } c.
Early trailing In provisions was marke
by sYiarp advances , especially In pork. Cor
tract stocks were much less than expectei
nnd this nnd the strength of praln mm
kets Induced n lot of buying. High price
of the day were reached on this rally , whlc
was followed by a general decline e
realizing , but near the close buying be
came general again nnd t'ne market close

Values on all kinds of stock looked up t
flay and ns was the case yesterday the ma
Kets were In a condition to please sellci
it wasti Saturday , however , and as usual <
the last day of the week the receipts we
light , the only unuaual feature being t
fact that the markets were active ai
higher Instead of nominally unchanged
Is apt ito be the case on the last day of tl
week.
CATTLE Omaha did not have catt
enough to make very much of a sho\
Ing , less than forty fresh loads belt
reported In the yards , but at tl
same time there were more here th :
at cither Kansas Clty or Chicago. In o'h
words It was a Saturday and the numb
of cattle on sale at all market points w
extremely light.
The most of the cattle here -were cornf
flto'rs and there was quite a sprinkling
pretty decent cattle among the offering
that Is cattle good enough to bring $1.90. Tl
buyers had use for all the cattle hero ai
the market , was .both , stronger and vc
active. , a condition ralhor unusual for t
last day of the wpek. i The pens were soi
cleared and the trade rcame to an end f
the want of moretcattlo to sell , with ser
buying ordera unfllled <
Cows and heifers , as well as bulls , calve
etc. , sold nt fully feteady prices and the fc
he.ad In the yards met with ready 'taker *
As usual on a SaturJay , the offerings
stockers and feeders \vcro light and t
amount of business doing In consequen
very limited.
The cattle market of the past week :
decidedly- favor- the selling Interesl
il'rnctlcajjyon tevory/dny of the week , < thc
was a good export ; and Hhlpplpg demai
for'cornfcd cattle , , hlch helped ; to susta
values and gave , the market n upwa
tendency. On some days the retslpts 'we
short of the demand and tho-rnarket d
velo-ped Into a sort of scramble ! among tl
buyers to se * which could get the mo
cattle. Under such conditions It was n
surprising that values showed "honslderal
Improvement. For the week It would
safe to say that good heavy cattle are i
all of lOc. while handy light cattle a
15SJ20O higher ; buyers would say 30c hlghc
Cows and heifers did not ehow as mui
gain , but the general tendency of the mark
on t'nat kind of stuff was also higher ; a co
servatlve statement would be to call t :
market lOc better for the , week. The be
grades of thin llttlo stock cattle were ju
about steady for the week , but. owing
the larger receipts , the common kinds we
somewhat 'neglected5" and values on sui
were 10Q20c lower for the we.sk.
HOGS -Just about half the number of ho
were here today as yenterdwy , It being the lili !
est run since Monday , and an extremely UK
run for a Saturday.
The ntirket opened a Bhnde higher nnd co
jtlnucd In about the same condition until t
close , which came early. The hogs sold most
at J3.C03.70 , while yesterday there was quite
string of sales at llgures under $3.63 , nnd n
many above that mark. As high ns S3. & ) w
paid for the best butcher weights , which w
60 higher than anything brought yesterday.
The closing week of llarch was the low we <
of the month , values having suffered apparent
from a lack of speculative' support to the prm
slon market , due to uncertainty as to the eftc
of a possible foreign war. The local demon
however , was good all the week and the arrlvn
of hogs centrally met -with ready pale at curre
values. At title opening of the week there * vai
lOo break , which was followed by a reaction i
Tuesday. On Wednesday values went u/I / ngn
but reacted on Friday and Saturday. jL n r
suit of all these changes the market ] nt tl
closci of the week was. a strong lOc higher tfti
on Monday nnd a tfiade better than nt the do
of the previous week. The month of Ap
nturtrd out with the market lOo lower than
month ago , about the same as two months ng
25c higher than three months ago , but 25 = low
than a year ago.
SHEEP Of the sheep here today a Urge p ;
portion were consigned direct to packers , \
were not for tale , to that the actual olTcrln
were comparatively light. The market w
strong and active , with the demand brisk a
everything for sale changed bands In go
season.
The rheep market was In very satisfactory co
dltlon all the past week , so far as the lelll
Interests were concerned. The receipts w <
very large , taking the week as a whole , but
the same time there was a large demand whl
was equal to the consumption of cverythl
received. Under the Influence of the good bu
Ing demand values gradually tended upward a
at the close of the week the market was cc
slderably stronger. The best grades of laml
such as have been coming from Fort Collli
sold 25c higher than last week , but the comm
kinds did not show much Improvement. (
the other hand , mutton sheep , yearlings , et
could safely be quoted 10015o higher.

It happened to a doctor of divinity , who
was preaching some special sermon , relates
the Temple Magazine. Ho had scarcely got
Into the vratry after ono of them , when In
rushed a well-dressed man , who greeted him
most effusively.
"Delighted to ee you , doctor , " ho said.
"You have given us a grand sermon. It
has been a treat a real Inspiration to us
all. "
The doctor smiled nnd expressed his grat
ification , and the man left the vestry. No
sooner was the door closed , however , than
ono of the deacons lookul up and remarked :
"You must not take any notice of him ,
doctor ; he's got-softcnlng of the brain. "
The feelings of the doctor must have been
akin to those ot another mlnlaler who was
preaching in Rochdale. Thp morning > * -as
line , and the congregation large. At the
foot of the pulpit stairs ono of the olHclaU
met him.
"We-'ve had a very large congregation
this morning , Mr. Brown , " remarked the
preacher ,
"Yes. sir , " replied the guileless and out
spoken brother , "a very fine congregation.
You pee , air , wo wasn't expecting you this
morning. "
