The market was not only aotlvo , but It waa strong to lOo highsr , according to the quality of th& cattle oft'orod. Som * who had cattle at the close did not think that the llnal wind-up was as good as the early markot. As a ruie sellers wore well pleased with the day's operations. Cows and heifers were actlvo and stady with Iho offerings light. Practically everything thing- changed hands early in the morning. Bulls , stags , calves , etc. , all sold well , prices being steady to strong. Not enough stackers or teedors were on sale to make a test of the market. The feeling , however , was that anything deBlra- bln would sell at good , tlrm prices. The Improvement In the market for beer cattle during Iho lust wuek has naturally created a little stronger feeling among holders of slock cattle , but the country demand is Ilsht and operators us a rule do not look for -very much Improvement In that direc tion In ihe near future. Considerable Interest was manifested this morning among both buyers and sellers as to reported washouts between here and Chlcuiro , ns It was lelt that If any great number of stock train ? had been delayed by that meuns the. Chicago market on Wednesday might be seriously affected. Representative sales : BEEB1 STESKS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. 1. . 810 $3 75 1..1010 $4 75 28..1167 $4 90 1..1070 3 75 2. .

C50 1 50 HOGS The market opened at Just nbout steady prices this morning and the most of the hogs sold early. SelUrs let ihelr com mon to medium hogs go when they could s' t (3.60 for them , but they hold on to such loads as buyers would not bid $3.GO for , and they also held on to Die good loads for which th y were asking strong prices. After about two-thirds of the hogs had changed hands the trade slowed up alittle , partly on account of the. hesitancy of sellers to accept prices offered nnd partly on account of an tffort on the part of buyers to close the market weak. It did not long remain dull , however , but buyers soon got down to liuslncsa again nnd the market closed up fully steady. The good local demand helped out the murket a good deal , and there was nlno a feeling among buyers that receipts this wovk would not be nearly so large ns last week. The most of the bogs sold at $3.60 , with a sprinkling nt $3,62'iand a. $3.70 top , On Saturday the bulk nlt.o . sold at J3.CO , with a piece of a load nt $3.70. The week starts out with the market only a ehodo different from what It was a week nso , as will bo noted from th * table of average prices above. * pre.sentativo Hales : tf , 2 fi CO 300 CO . . . .290 . . . 3 70 No. Av.

NBW YORK , May 29. ( Special. ) Henry Clews , head of the banking house of Henry Cl we & Co. , writes : The past week's stock market 1ms been distinctly ono of yielding not only In prices , but also In spirit , tone and attitude of hold ers and the volume of transactions. For some tltno past It has not been difficult to detect evidences of an undercurrent In that direc tion. Not so much that there has bccu nn nbrcnco of sound bull elements In the situation , nor that the market has larked good backers , ns because the upward move ment p-fcms to have run to a state of tension too high to be maintained Indefinitely , nnd especially In the face of worrying Uncertain , tics. Plainly prices had been carried to a climax which could not apparently develop further In the direction of advance , and usually when n market reaches that posi tion , although there may bo a good deal of struggling to keep up appearances nnd eu- courngo confidence , yet In the long run it Is found that the only possible movement Is towards reaction , Tho-great movement In securities that set In nt the opening of the year has since boon charged with burdens which were not antici pated In Its earlier stages. No sooner had an unprecedented Investing nnd speculative de mand carried up prices to the highest level over knowu than there unexpectedly ap peared a movement In the reconstruction of corporate capital which has transformed a very largo part of our Industrial system. This financial whirlwind has thrown specu lative movements Into confusion and has overtaxed the financial resources that nro ordinarily available for Stack Exchange op erations. Not only Is the market overloaded with such securities awaiting distribution , but the now supply Includes a large element of Issues whoso quality Is but partially understood nnd which must pass through a stngo of trial before they can reach their final resting place. The more this situa tion comes to bo appreciated the more dis position thcro Is to watch and hesitate , and such a condition of things always sooner or later develops a disposition to realize in numerous Instances. The foregoing factors appear to have n good deal to do with the reactionary move ment now apparent in the stock market. At the same tlmo the drift toward n de parture from our Into extraordinary creditor foreign balances begins to attract mori > at tention. There Is no expectation of anything like a reversal of the late excess of exports over Imports ; on the contrary , it appears likely that we may maintain permanently a better balance between our inward nnd out ward trade than In former normnr times , but there can bo no deut > t that the extraor dinary trade balance of the last two years has b ( > en a very Influential cause of the un precedented rise In securities since the openIng - Ing of this year , and , In proportion ns that cause loses its influence all other things being equal some yielding in prices might be expected to ensue. A comparison of prices will show the ex tent to which this process of decline has already gone. The following list of thirty- three active railroad and industrial stocks , showing the highest quotations slnco Janu ary 1 and on the 24th of May , Is presented for illustration , to which is added a list of the highest prices In 1898 as showing how present figures compare with those made in the height of the bull campaign of last year : ' ' ' Hlgh'tlllgh'tHlgh't i since ilay 24 , In Jan. 1 , ' 99. 1S99. 1S9S.

Extending the comparison to the highest prices of 1898 , It Is found that the highest figures of this year average 13.15 points above the highest of last year , whilst the quotations of 'May 2-1 average 2.7 points above the top figures of 1898. Taking the lowest prices of the same stocks In 1898 , wo find they average 26.7 points below the high est quotations of Wednesday last. These results may bo thus summarized : Per share. Average highest price thirty-three stockH slnco January 1 , 1S93 $93.42 Average highest price thirty-three stdcks on Miy 21 , 1S93 85,0 } Average highest price thirty-three stocks In 1S9S 82.2S Average lowest price thirty-three Blocks In 1S98 68.30 It thus appears that prices have fallen n fraction over 10 points from the highest values of this year , but that they are si 111 2,72 points above the highest figures reached during the active speculation of lost year. Whether Wall street will conclude that the minimum prices for 1899 should exceed the maximum for 1898 I am not prepared to predict , neither am I prepared to recom mend our friends to act on such a doubtful assumption. At tlio moment railroad stocks nro unfavor ably affected by the wheat nrosnects. Winter wheat has now to add worms to Its mis fortunes , nnd careful estimators nro ranging their estimates nronml 260,000,000 to 270,000- 000 bushels for the season's output. So far them Is no expectation that the spring crop will exceed that of 1898 ; opinion rnther In clines toward a decrease. From the present outlook wo may calculate upon n probable reduction of the wheat yield of 110,000,000 to 120,000,000 bushels , compared with lost year. London Stork IC LONDON.

SHIELDS' PECULIAR METHODS County Attorney l < 'oroe 4)nc < Jninl > lliiR Cnne to Trial nnil Slilc- trni'Un Another. The activity exhibited by County Attornc Shields In trying to force certain gambllu cases to trial rvlieid of their natural orde while other similar cases of previous dat are conveniently overlooked is a mibjcc of considerable comment in district cour circles. The action of the county attornc In Insisting on trying the Uennlson cases which are near the foot of the docket , nhcai of nearly 160 preceding cases , contrary t all precedents of criminal court practice , I In startling contrast to the delinquency o the same ofllclal in reference to the Henry Oertcr gambling case , which seems to Imv entirely escaped the vigilance of the self styled champion of law nnd order. The Certer case Is ono of the oldest o the sort now In court. Oertcr was con vlcted of keeping a gambling house nm fined. Ills case was nppcalcd to the su prcino court , where the decision was re versed on a technicality nnd remanded t the district court. Since then It seems t have dropped out of sight ns completely as though It had never been on the docket. It has now boon nearly six months sine the decision In the supreme court nnd thcr Is not a scratch of a pen on the dockets o the District court to show that the ens has been re-entered for trial. It Is the business nf the county attorney under sucl circumstances nt once to secure a trnns crlpt of the proceedings in the supreme court nnd have the cnpo plnced on the docket for trial. This has not been done litho the Oorter case up tp this time , nnd there Is nothing to Indicate that the prcsen county attorney has any Intention of push Ing the case ngnlnst Ocrter In which the proof has boon already established. In this connection It Is significant that I. J. Dunn one of Shields' deputies , Is Oertcr's nt torncy. In reply to n question In rcgnrd to the status of the Oertcr cnsc County Attorney Shields ? nld that ho knows nothing abou It. "I have been so busy , " he said , "will other matters that I hnvo not had tlmo to Icok up the Oerter matter nt all. " Shields expressed surprise at the Information tha It Is not on the present docket and finally said that the matter would bo attended to some time. "DEMANDS OF LIBERALISM' Lecture liy John E. Ilciimbnrff , Presi dent of the American Secular Union. John E. Rcmsburg of Atchlson , Kan. president of the American Secular union lectured last night at Washington hall to nn audience of fair elze on "Tho Demands of Liberalism. " Ho argued strongly for the taxation of all church property , claiming that Its exemption increased the burden o taxation upon ether property , thereby com pelling every taxpayer to contribute indi rectly to the support of the church. Quota tions from Presidents Grant nnd Garfielc were given favoring church taxation. The lecturer insisted that the employment o chaplains In the army , navy and legis latures , nnd the pnyment of their salaries out "of the public funds , and the Sunday laws compelling a man to observe a certain day as a day of rest , were a governmenta recognition of religion , and unconstitutional The laws of some states prohibiting unbe lievers from testifying in courts of Justice were attacked ns unjust and as fostering hypocrisy. The appointment by the presi dent of the United States and tlio govern ors of the states of days of thanksgiving nnd prayer , Mr. Remsburg stated was In consistent with the absolute divorcement o : church and state , and the opinion of Thomas Jefferson was quoted In support of this claim. The question of blblo reading In the public schools and Uio appropriation of pub lic money for sectarian purposes were also discussed and quotations given from eminent divines nnd Jurists In support of the de mands of the American Secular union in Ibis respect. COMPLAIN OF IHE CHANGES Street Railway Pntronn BIltiH Trnnn- feri Formerly Kiijoyeil liy North mill Sou III Travel cm. South sldo street car patrons wore highly Indignant nil day Sunday .by . reason of the change of the transfer system Inaugurated on the street car service. 'The Walnut Hill line was discontinued on South Thirteenth and that street has been given over to the South Omaha line. With the change came the announcement that no more transfers would bo Issued to north and south patrons wishing to go either east or west on Far- nam , ns had been the practice up to Sunday. The order also causes hardship upon the stockmen , clerks and employes nt South Omaha dependent on the Hnnscom park lino. Heretofore these early risers have been transferred to the South Omaha line at Sixteenth nnd Leavenworth. The aban donment of the viaduct and the running of the South Omaha trains along Thirteenth street compels patrons availing themselves of transfers to walk ncross Leavenworth from Sixteenth to Thirteenth. The street car company gives It out thnt the change In the trnsfer system Is duo to the closing of the viaduct. There Is n tlmo for nil things.
