CHICAGO , Jnn. 20. The expectation thnt
tome of the prosperity shown In the stock
market must soon manifest Itself In the
grain trnde , tORether with henvy clear
ances at the seaboard today nnd with no
nlgn of th foreigners becoming oversupplied
plied , sustained prices In lh whuat pit nnd
JMay closed unchanged. Corn left oft u
ehnde higher nnd May a trlllo lower. Pork
ndvanced 10Q12'io ' nnd lard and ribs 24Q5c !
c.ich.
Steadiness nt Liverpool nnd predictions of
cold weather gave wheat n fairly good Htart.
Way opened a shade higher nt 70c , and ns
there was very llttlo for sale It touched 70ic ?
In n few mlnutrs. That wan the turning
rolnt , however , ns longs began to liquidate.
Way got down to ? 0'ic before the llrst hour's
trading had clnpscd.
The change In sentiment was due. to the
bearish Interpretations of the report of the
Ilusslan wheat crop , which showed un In
crease of i4,000,000 ; bushels over last year ,
but was 120.ttJO.WiO bushels smaller than the
previous estimate of the Kusslan minister
of agriculture. Argentina shipped 40,000
fcushelR of wheat to the continent this week ,
thus Inaugurating Its export buslnero for
the season. That had n depressing effect ,
but the bears were unwilling to expose
themselves to any heavy rlska on the short
nldo In face of so much Insistence upon the
statement that many speculators with big
l > rollts from the rtock market were feeling
very friendly toward wheat. Chicago re
ceipts were 1&2 cnrs , of which 8 were graded
contract , and Minneapolis nnd Duluth re
ported 501 cars received , against 358 n ye-ar
ngo. The aggregate of the primary western
market receipts was about double that of a
year ago , amounting to 877,000 bushels. At
lantic port clearances , however , wore largo ,
amounting In wheat nnd flour to nearly 1-
000,000 bushels. This had a stimulating ef
fect nnd ns the boars appeared to be satis-
Jled with what they had already accom
plished. May gradually recovered to "OHft
vO-VsC. and was bringing that about half an
jinur before the close. It touched TO-'slc n
llttlo later and closed with buyers nt
.
Corn started strong under the false Im
pression that the damp weather would
cause n rally. On the Improvement n per
fect nvalnnchp of long nnd short corn was
tumbled Into the pit nnd nil visible signs of
Strength vanished. During the last hour
the market nhowed some signs of reviving
on scattered buying brought about by the
relaxing stiffness of castbound railroad
rates. Receipts were 452 oars. May opened
> . ; c higher at 37g37',4e , declined to 36c , then
flrmd up to 37c. the closing price.
Oats were dull during the entire session.
There was no Inquiry for cosh and the
cample market was weak , without any
material change In values. Receipts were
light , 1C3 cars. May stnrted unchnngsd , sold
down to 27Q27 ! c and closed at 27lXjft27c ,
buyers.
Foreign buvlng of Inrd early strengthened
provisions. Heavy buying of pork and ribs
by commission houses during the latter part
of the .session added tm the advance. May
pork opened unchanged nt J10.12H. Improved
1o $10.23 and closed at $ l0.12'ATn0.25. May
lard began unchanged at $ o.77J/4 < ft5SO nnd
closed at $ j.OT5.S2'J. May ribs started un

NEW YORK , Jan. 20.-A rush of belated
Investors todny brought the total transac
tions to over 1,250,000 shnres , the largest
of the present movement nnd next to the
largest In the history of the exchange ,
Prices attained today were generally the
highest In years , nnd the net gains were
material In mnny shams nnd fractional
advances for the rest of the list.
The London market WHS tlrm and the
public absorption of securities was large
and conlldent In the local market. There
wns a period of realizing before , noon and
short selling ns well ns realizing after the
delivery hour , but prices picked up rapIdly -
Idly In the Ilnal dealings nnd the mnrkot
ended with n very good tone. . The- buying
of commission houses wns liberal and ex
tended to n great variety of shares. New
York. Central made an extreme rise of
E i polnta nnd gossip was revive * ! of a
closer amalgamation of Central and North
western railways. Union Pacific preferred
was up an extreme 3-i points on talk of
the future plans of the Vnndcrbllts In con
nection with thnt property. Manhattan
rene 5 % points , nnd Metropolitan 3H points ,
the possibility being discussed of these
roads working harmoniously. Manhattan ,
however , lost 2U points of Its earlier ad
vantage.
There were substantial advances In
American Steel and Wire. International
Paper , New York Air Brake , Sugar ,
Leatlu-r nnd Consolidated Gas. It was an
nounced that Consolidated Gas has dis
posed of a large block of treasury stock ,
which had been hanging over the market.
The grangers wore up from fractionally
to over a point , with St. Paul leading , and nil
nttnlned record high figures In the current
movement , except Burlington , which was
within U of a point of the best. Missouri
Pacific displayed considerable strength after
a long period of comparative Inactivity , on
the Idea that the annual report , which will
bo published before long , may be favor
able. An essential factor In sustaining
prices was the calculation that the banks
for the week will have gained $10,209.000
In cash , excepting receipts by mall , which
figures wrre unobtainable. Tho. banks

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were smaller
than yesterday , but larger than a week
ago. Among the receipts were six cars to
the Omaha and twelve cars to Cudahy ,
leaving1 In the , nelRhborhood of seventeen
cars of fat steers and close to twenty loads
of cow stuff on sale , besides stoockers and
feeders. The market , as a whole , was none
too active.
Aside from one or two bunches of pretty
decent stuff , the corn-fed cattle on sale
were decidedly on the commonlsh order ,
and buyers did not seem to take to them
very well. In fact , the market was In
clined toward dullness , and for the f w cat-
tin hero It took a peed deal of tlmo to
effect a clearance. In the. end , however ,
most everything changed hands. Holders
of attractive kinds of cattle , as a rule ,
reported that they were able to secure
steady price" . bit , the less desirable kinds
were not good sellers , and the market on
such was generally lower. It will be noted
from the sales Given below that there were
a few cattle here good enough to bring
$5.15 , but there was nothing choice on
sale.
The offerings of cows and heifers were
quite llbsral , conslderlnK the few cattle
all told In the yards. According to buyers'
accounts the offerings consisted for the
rnort part of common or rough branded
cows , with really desirable cows or heif
ers scarce. It would be safe to say that
really good stuff could be quoted steady
and buyers all claimed that they were In
need of good kinds and would pay yester
day's prices If they could get them. Sell
ers , as a rule , were reporting the market
on the. general run of their holdings as all
the way from steady to lOc lower. It took
buyers and sellers some little time to agree ,
and , as a result , the forenoon was well ad
vanced before a clearance was effected.
Stockers and feeders were by no means
plentiful , while the demand wns of about
the usual proportions. There wns ono
bdnch of some , three loads of calves In the
yards , which mot with ready sale at $4.90.
Any good kinds of : cokers or feeders wer
ready sellers at fully steady prices. It Is
safe to say thnt the market Is now as higher
or higher than It has been any tlmo this
season. Representative sales :

HOGS All told , only 107 cars of hogs
wort- reported In the yarda this morning ,
as ugalnst 133 on Friday of last week.
Cudahy had four doubles from Kansas City
direct , and Armour seven from Sioux City ,
so that less than 100 cars were on sale when
the market opened.
At the outset the demand appeared to bo
brisk an usual , and buyers all went after
liogs , the market opening Htrong to a idmde
higher In Home case" . However , before ,
holders could let go Chicago wired , "Mar-
kot dragging and n shade lower than
early , " and us u result the market here
lost Its CBrly strength , buyern neemlng to
come to the conclusion that they did not I I
want the hogs an badly ns they thought
they did. The early sales were largely on
the basis of J3.45Jia.55 for light and light
mixed loads , and $1.5583.60 for heavy and
heavy mixed loads.
Whllo the market lost Its early strength
the hogs kept celling and the later market
was Ji > 't about steady with yesterday. In
good season the pens were cleared , every
thing being sold before the middle of Uio
forenoon.
It will be noted from the table of average
prices above that the market Is now a
ehade higher than the llri' . of the week , and
just about whcro It waa on Friday of '
week. Ono year aeo today the hogs
on an av rnse nt $3.60 , two years ngo nt
$3.2(1 ( , three years ego at $3.90. Represent-

SHEEP There were not n.s large receipts
ns yesterday and the supply con'lsted al
most entirely of fat sheep. The demand for
killers was good and everything In the
yards sold In good season and at prices
that were steady to n llttlo stronger. A
few good native lambs brought $4.75. and
some hhivy native yearlings out of the
Mime lot went at $4.00. Pretty decent South
Dakota wether * sold at $ .195. and the
Taylor western wethers at $ .1S5 , , and still
another bunch of western wethers at $3.80.
A bunch of mixed western yearlings and
wethers sold at $3.90. All these prices were
entirely satisfactory to the sellers and It
can be truthfully said that as compared
with other markets the market nt this
point has bsen very good all this week.
The market on stock sheep nnd lambs
continues slow and dull. There Is , how
ever , a little demand and now and then a
bunch can be sold.

PIANOS FOR THE SCHOOLS
"Hrndpr" Coined < n fhr Itmcnv and
KxplalM * Why Munlf * IK n Xcormiarr
Adjunct In Klnilcntiirten.
OMAHA , Jan. 20. To the Kdltor of Th
Bee : Now that you have exonerated the
Board of Education In regard to the Uxt
book question , will you not be no kind u to
print word In regard to pianos ? You have
referred to the "piano pounding" in the
kindergartens ns no Incentive to the "culti
vation of musical taste" in the children.
So long ns correct piano playing la made
a requirement for every kindergarten teacher
there Is nothing thnt might be calUd "piano
pounding" In the kindergartens of our pub
lic schools. "Music liath charms to soothe
the savage breast , " nnd Its influence over
llttlo children is Incalculable.
I understand that soft , qulctinc music
Is played at the opening of school muslo
from the masters which puts the children
In the right attitude for the day's work.
They nro expected to inarch , to sing , to
piny games. How. in the name of common ,
sense , can they do this correctly , get the
iliythm and time which are so Important ,
without a musical Instrument ?
The kindergarten is Intended to be a re
fining Influence In the little child's life ,
giving him a love for the beautiful , the
good and true , hlch will bo n safeguard
to him In after life. If the kindergarten
Is crippled In any way It cannot fully
accomplish Its mission.
The teaching of patriotism should form
an Important part of every school program ,
but the words of most of our patriotic songs
arc unintelligible to the average child of
5 years. However , ho will easily learn the
patriotic air from the plnno will march to
the Inspiring strains of patriotic music be
come thoroughly Imbued with It. The plnno
Is a joy not only to the kindergarten chil
dren , but also to the children of the upper
grades , who often march In and out of the
building to the music which they Jicnr
through the open door ; often they practice
the songs of their muslo reader or th
eongs for an entertainment with the help
of the kindergarten piano.
The fact Is that part of the public kinder
gartens of the city have been supplied with
pianos , while the others were lacking , and
this was considered a great detriment to th
latter , as there Is no comparison between a
kindergarten with a piano and one without
it. A mother who visited her little son In
kindergarten lately said that she was per
fectly surprised that there waa no musical
Instrument in the room , that she would ba
willing to contribute toward the rental of a
piano , and was sure that other parents felt
the same that she know that her boy would
bo a better child if there were a piano In
the room. I believe that the average tax
payer feels the same.
It has always been thejntontlon of tha
school board to supply pianos for all the
kindergartens as soon ns possible , but they
wisely refrained during the hard times.
Probably their recent action in the matter
would have caused little comment had It
not occurred just nt a time when a legal
decision has made It necessary for the city
to pay over to the schools a considerable
sum. In other cities a kindergarten with
out a piano is an anomaly. In order to
keep abreast with educational progress we
must have kindergartens , and in order to
make the kindergartens effective wo must
have pianos. A READER.

RESULT OF TAX COLLECTIONS
Money I nld Into City Trennnry In t
Year Somewhat ! , Than It
Should Ilnre lieea. ' ' /
For the assistance of the city council la
drawing up thp 1899 levy City Treasurer
Edwards has prepared a statement showing
the total tax collections of last year. Thl
sets out that while less than three-quar
ters of the 1898 tax was collected the total
tax collections which Include delinquent
taxes of previous years , fell some $45,000
short of the tax levy.
The 1898 tax levy amounted to $793,183.07.
