8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: KOYEMBET7 2u, 1901. CRISIS PAST IN GERMAN! lajrtTimint on th Bmni Oiatiami in All Diparlmuti. GENERAL MARKET GAINING STRENGTH tiertln Financiers Takf ('nnrnEr In Statement nf President Kiich of Iniperlnl Ilnnk r Tnrlff , In Criticised. BERLIN, Nov. 2-1,-Thc Improvement on the hourre. continues, all departments show IriK gains for the last week. The fnct If) again evident that many short engage ments existed, cnuslng a strong movement to cover, as a result of which valuation!) roe. ltt week's trndlng strengthens the Impression that tha market Ib gradually regaining confidence In financial circles great Importance waa attached to the statement of Piesldetit Koch of the Im perial Hank of Germany, to the effect tint there was rnson to believe the worst w.ts now over. The recent llnanclal crisis has been worso In Saxony, and there espe cially a. grrnter feeling of conlldcnco pre- Another factor favorable to the week's, Improvement was tho reduction In the price of coke, amounting to 2 marks a ton for furnace and to 4Vi marks a ton for foun dry quality. This reduction In coke created n considerable, demand for It on shnrci, which was the strongest feature of tti week's Hading. Iron shares roue more tlun 10 points (luring the week and after a long period of ncKlect. machinery securi ties also rose. Home, of the electrical tocks were also stronger, while the re duction In coke had the effect of bllovlng the bourse generally, although Iron men sre of the opinion that tho coke reduction wan Inadequate to relloc the depression of the Iron market. Ilem.v Kt ports In Steel. It Is significant that the Lorraine and Luxenburg furnaccH answered the. ivdm tlon In the price of coke with a further restriction of their output to 50 per cent. t'p to the present lime I Ills loitrlctlon had amounted to 35 per cent. 1Mb Iron could not be quoted on the Dusseldorf Iron ex change last week owing to the lack f transactlonr.. Ncvertlu Uss the export movement of steel Is griming livelier nul the demand for old Iron Is growing better. This latter Improved demand Is regarded as signifying the approach of a general Im provement In Iron and steel transactions. Hank stocks were the second strongest feature during the week ami were an -mated on the prospects of Improving1 busi ness on the bourse. This caused much short covering, especially In the stock of the Dresdener bank. Following n report from Lloyd's the securities of the ocean steamship companies showed a certain Im provement. Another feature of the week was the resumption of purchases In the Iron and. coal shares for foreign nccount nnd the prospects of American coal being Imported Into Germany were discussed from various points of view. A wholesale coal dealer, Ilerr IJustnv Schnlz. who has Just returned from the I'liltcd States, where he ordered 140,000 tons of anthracite coal, says In an Interview that no dancer threatens Germany trom American coal. The Importation of soft coal Is unre muneratlvo even with existing low rates, ays Herr ffchulz, but the Importation of anthracite coal will remain a permanent and paying business, the effect of which will simply bo to displace British ami not German coal. The Frankfurter .eltung does not Hgree with llerr Kchtilz. and says that Germany must sooner or later expect h strong competition from American coal, as well as from American Iron products. This newspaper quotes Superintendent Wr-ncke, of tho Krupp works, who druw Mtteutlon to the great Increase In the Vnlted States In coal transportation facili ties for export. The Frankf urter Zeliung advises the coal nnd Iron men of Germany 1o get together In Unto to meet this ex pected American competition. Xrw TnrltT I Criticised. The general Introduction of the govern ment's report, explaining the new tariff bill, has appeared. It ban been nssalled by the liberal prosa with arguments pronounc ing It weak and contradictory. Tho I'er llncr Tngeblatt says this Introduction shows the lack of business reasons for tho In crease In duties Introduced by tho bill and that the government has been merely moved In this action by Its .dcslrc to please the agrarians. Money was easy, with call loans at 2 per cent. DEMAND FOR CHINA'S TRADE Manchester SellliiK Affected by Time Hninlrod for Oe I livery. MANCHESTER. Nov. 24.-After Its pre vious Improvements the market during 1'ist week continued to bo strong. Tho demind for cloth continued and tho turnover at tained satisfactory dimensions, although buyers as a rule wero only willing to pro cecd at recent rnteK. Sellers, however, have been latterly able to obtain prices which were unavailable at the beginning of tho week. Tho demands for tho China trai principally ran to various classes of shirtings nnd the Immediate demand Is now largely satisfied. The time requlr?d for delivery Is becoming nn obstacle to free selling. There has been more Inquiry from Calcutta, and several lines of goods wero negotiated. These wero chiefly t,hff better qualities of shirtings and lighter fabrics. The general outlook for crops In India Is netter. xnero was a. moneraie. ami miscel laneous. Inquiry from nearby markets. The southern Uomand waa quiet. Ynrns were rather more In demand, but the export In quiry was not actlvo and merchnnts appear to have few orders. Considerable business transpired In the home trade In qualities to cover contracts for cloth, thereby strengthening spinners. LONDON EXcTlANGE INACTIVE Market lletnnlns Stationary anil Frleei Vary lint I.tttle. LONDON, Nov. 24. Huslnest on the Stock exheange has been so nearly dead during the, last week that tho doings are hardly worth recording. .Money has been alternately ncarco nnd plentiful, owing to the fitful government disbursements nnd to largo payments on account of various colonial loans. Tho nank of England has managed to Impound most of the available gold. Tho open market rato of discount closed firmer, but still below tho bank rate. American securities alone displayed even a suggestion of activity on the exchange. A General feeling of apprehension for tho uture prevented real business nnd quota tions were largely nominal.

Wheat trading was h dull and nurrow af fair, December opened a shade to Wii lio higher nt 7245f724c on better cables than" had been expected, but fluctuated Kctweon these two prices until Just before the close. Receipts were liberal, particularly In the rurthwcHt. Late reports stated that the tains In the southwest hud not brought re lief from the drouth, but clearances were Usht and the probability of large world's shipments to be reported Monday steadied the market. The corn bulge as much us anything perhaps brought the slight ad vance.

"Hope you will give us your trade next year," said tho photo supply dealer to the man who had been running's photograph gallery on wheels through the country (lis trlcts of Ixmg Island. The man had Just paid his bill, reports the New York Tribune. "Thero Isn't going to be any next year for mo," said the photographer, eadly. "I've sold the old girl," He was referring to tho wagon gallery. "She's being used as a lunch wagon out In Flushing." "You don't' mean to say that you have given up the business," exclaimed the dealer. "Why, let's see, you've boen at It at least ten years. What Is the matter?" "Business Is killed for good by tho a 111 a tour photography craze," replied tho ex traveler. "Every other 'country Jake' hns a camera of his own and Is snapping overy thing In sight. A picture Is Just a plcturo to tho country people. If they can get a plcturo for nothing from a friend who owns a camera they are not coming to the gallery to pay out good monoy for pro fessional work. I've tried everything, even to lowering prices, but it does no good. "Even tho tintype men who have shops at the benches are suffering front the same crarc. People bring their cameras to tho shore, take their own pictures, and many of them. The man with a mild 'Jag,' who lnststs on having It photographed that bo may never forget it, and the 'greenest' visitors from the bnckwoods are about all tho tintype man has left. Lots of the boys are not going to start up next year." "Aud what are going to do?" asked the dealer. "Peddle cameras and supplies through the country districts and persuade the rest of tho countryside to become fiends," The Oldest Newspaper. It was supposed until recently, says the Oolden Penny, that the Kin-Pan, a Chinese Journal published In Pekln for the last 1,000 yeare, was the oldest uewapaper In the world, In a very able work recently pub llshed, however, Imbault Huart, the French rnnsul at Canton, shows that this honor belongs to tho Tslng-Pao, or Pekln News, which has been published continuously since the year 710 and Is even said to have Uecu founded some 200 years before that date, or early In the sixth $entury 800 vears before a newsnnner was knnn In mated Monday, 5onoo head: left over. 11,000 head; market 10115c lower; butchers', t3.3o ffi5.75; good to choice heavy, $5rOjjS74: rough to fair Innvy, $3.23; light, $1.753.10; liiillt (if sales.

Tho demand all tho week for good stuff wus very liberal and prices arc now fully as good as they wero at the close of last weelc, It Is notice able, however, that while the choicest crudes arc selling freely the common kinds nre neglected, with the tendency of prices downward, As n result the range of prices Is greater than it has been In somo tune pact. Tho market for beef steers reached the high point of the season this week, as high as J7.3. Being paid on iTiuay lor a choice bunch of steers for the Christmas trade. Aside from that one sale, however, the ton of the week was $6.60. It Is very evident that packers aro all anxious for cattlo good enough to sell for $6.00 or better, nnd not enough have been coming 10 meei 1110 ncmauo. i-rn-rn nn: wiuio fluently stronger than they wero a. week ngo, as thero wero not enough of the good kinds to go around. Fair to good cattle are about steady with last week, but tho common and warmed-up stuff have been very slow sale and aro fully 15fj25o lower for the week. A good many cows have been on I ho mnrket ull tho week, nnd the receipts have Included finite a few cornfeds. Anything strlctlv cho ce la about steady for the week, but tbb medium kinds und canners nre fullv 101 15c lower, and In somo enhos the decline hns been even greater. Choice cornfed cows mny bo quoted as high as $4.60, and heifers would doubtless sell still higher. The better grades of grass rattle have sold as high as $4.oo. but tho bulk of the anles go from $2.60 to $3.25. There litis not been much'change on good bulls, venl calves and stags, but the com mon kinds are rather dull and weak. Choice stockers and feeders are steady for the week nnd have been In good de mand. Cattle showing both weight and iiiulltv mnv be (Hinted as lllKll lis $4.60. while, prime yearlings would doubtless reach t.zo. 1 no common Kino 01 amcnt-m uim feeders of all weights have sold very slowly and aro fully 15ijj25c lower than they were a week' ago. The demnnd from the country Is for strictly choice cnttle, so that the commoner kinds sell at a low figure. This week closed with a good ninny cattle In the hands of speculators that will bo car ried over until next week. The demnnd for western grass beef steers Is hardly as good as It was a week or ten davs ago. Packers claim that the cattle aro not killing out as well, but anything at all good may safely be quoted as high as $5.oo, with the commoner kinds selling from $1.25 down. Choice range cows are about steady for the week and are selling from $3.60 to $4,00. Tho medium grades and can ners sell from $3.00 down, or fully lOgiSc lower. Choice stockers and feeders aro steady, while others nre very slow and 15f' 25c lower. Sellers in n good many cases have found it almost Impossible to dls. pose of tho common and trashy stock.

All other markets were quoted lower today, so that packers started out hero bidding 10f15e lower. They failed to got the hogs, however, nnd finally raised their bids and bought the heavyweights S'fnoc lower and the light hogs 10iil5c lower. TI10 bulk of tho mixed hogs sold nt $5.65 and $6,674, and the choice heavy hogs sold largely from $5.70 to $5.75. The light hogs wero a drug on tho market and sold very slowly. Packers did not cure whether thoy got them or not, so sellers had to tako what they could got. They sold all the way from $5,624 down.

WILL BE CONSIDERED IN A CONFERENCE Former tolled Stntes 5-cnntor If. C. DimIm Outlines n 1'rnctlcnl Plnn for Line ( iinncct Inn Antlonv. MEXtCO CITY. Nov. 2I.-The report of former Senator Henry C. Davis to the Pau Amorlcan railway committee of the Inter oatlonnl couferouccs will be submitted to the session of tho conference on Wednes day next. Mr. Davis suggested that a subcommittee be nppolntcd to study his re port, but his colleagues would not bear anything of the sort nnd adopted his report unanimously, Mr. Davis says In his re port that thero Is nothing Impracticable nor visionary in the construction of the road uor In the flotation of tho necessary stock. He remarks that each of such sys tems as tho Pennsylvania, tho New York Central, the Atchison, the Northern Pacific, tho Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, tbe. Southern Hallway and others has a greater mileage than in now necessary to assure tho rcalliatlon of the Intercontinental rail road, while tho bonds and shares outstand Ing of each of such systems aro Iu excess of tho sum estimated as necessary for the con- wtructlou nf the railroad In nuestlon. The ItiiHSlnn government hns Just, completed, says the senator, a railroad through Sltu'rU nt a cost consldeiably In excess of the amount estimated as necessary for tho completion of the American Intercon tinental railroad, nnd In so doing has over come greater natural difficulties than nr to bo looked for In the construction of the latter. Mr. Davis also refers to the great trunk Hues built In recent years by Mexico. In dwelling on tbe expediency of con structing an Intercontlnt'iital railroad Mr. Davis mentioned the fact that tonic of the South American delegates In order to reach Mexico for the present Pan-American con ference had to mnke: the Journey via Europe or New York. A letter mailed In the United States for some of tho South American republics goes first to Europe and thence to Its destination. Mr. Davis esti mates tho mileage of tho Intercontinental railroad to be constructed at 5.000 inlles In order to link existing systems and calcu lates the cost nt $200,000,000, or at the rate of $40,000 per mile. Tbe report terminates with tho following recommendations: Detail of the System. First. That 11 railroad connecting nil, n the greater part of llin nations represented In the conference, will contribute power fully to the development of the material relations and Interests of the said nations, Second. That the said railroad ought, ns far 11s common Interests permit, to con nect the principal cities situated along I's route. Third. That if the direction of tho rail road cannot be chanced for. the nlil.et stated In the foregoing article without great inconvenience, tir.inciies siinuid ho bull t to connect the chief cities of tho main lino. Fourth, That In order to lessen tho cost of work, existing rnllrnad be utilized as far as possible and us far us. compatlbln with the locution and purposes of the Intercon tinental railroad. Fifth. That nil the material necessary 'or the construction and operation of the rail road be declared free from Import duties, while taking suitable measures to prevent abuses. Sixth. That property, real and movable, of tho rnllroad, employed Iu construction and operation of the road, be exempted from all nat'onnl provincial state and municipal tnvatlon. Seventh. That tho realization of a work of such magnitude deserves to bo encour aged by means of subventions, land grants or guarantees of minimum r.ilo nf Inter est. Eighth. That the railroad be declared for ever neutral In order to assure freedom of trafllc. Ninth, That tne delegates to the confer ence recommend with nil possible earnest ness to their severnl governments tho granting of liberal concessions to the en terprise. In such forms as mny appear most sultnblo to each government. The suggestion Is also matin that tho T'nlted Stntes send a competent perron to all of tho republics of America to study tho resources of the several countries, the lo cation nnd status of existing railroads' present trade conditions, prospective traf fic for the Intercontinental railroad when built und tho concessions each government would bo expected to grant.
