Good Demand for Lead.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-R. O. Dun
Co.' Weekly Bevlcw of Trade tomorrow
will any:
War, flre and cotton were the adverse
fiutois of the week. ytt the country aiood
tne anock remnrKaiily wen. and tlicre are
numi roiiH encuuiaKing aymptoms. To a
large degree tne oulbieak oi hostilities In
tha Orient and the coliape of the outton
boom hail leen iliariMinteU, and tho Uiata
trous lots o( the conllHgration wu i tl ia t
very largely by the stimulus It nl.l give tu
many Industries, notHbiy structural steel.
In restoring linltlmore there will be grta-t
activity In tno building traoea, while large
atneka of gonda muat be replaced and or
der filled by Jobbers and manufacturer
elsewhere. Buyers are arriving in th.s
city in large numbers Irom all eeciions of
the country and there la a good demand for
all leading Maplo lines, with notable urg
ency for prompt shipments of cotton goixis.
The labor situation througnout the coun
try la almost devoid of friction. More or
leas t mlllc congestion result from the'
weather and thla factor accounts for the
small loss of 17 per cent in railway earn
ings during January.
Actual business is still restricted In the
Iron fcnd steel Industry, but there is more
confidence In the future, and the extensive
starting of planta by the leading producers
suggests that f.irelgn markets will be e i
tered more nggreaaively thiui ever bffore.
Structural steel prospects have greatly. Im
proved because of the Baltimore fire, as it
is certain that an enormous tonnage will
bei required to restore the ruined building.
A to pig Iron no Improvement is setm.
Minor details have developed irregularity,
but hard coal Is In good demand.
New England shoe rhuim are sil:l fully
occupied on epring lines and fall simphs.
but few additional orders for spr.ng de
livery have appeared during the past week.
Trade, In rubber goods la less active. A
steady market continues for leather, stocks
of union backs are light in the hands of
tanners and hemlock continues scarce. Oak
sole and belting butts are weak, but har
ness leather remains steady. Hides are I as
firm, although large sales have occurred at
the concessions.
It is not surprising that Irregularity ap
pears In the cotton KdH market In view
of the violent decline of the raw material,
forward business Is completely demorai
led, buyera naturally heyltntlng to place
orders on a market that varies f, a bale
In a single day. Spot goods have not been
affected to any appreciable extent, but the
supply available for quick delivery Is In
adequate to meet the demand, producer
are more willing to undertake future ship
ments than they were before the reaction
began, but the disposition has been trans
ferred to buyers who were formerly tha
anxious ones. Mills are more fully en
gnged and there Is a prospect of a gen
eral revival of Idle machinery If the raw
material does not advance again. Woolens
and worsteds are in somewhat better de
mand. Failures this week In the United State
are 228, against 24 last week, i2 the pre
ceding week and 330 the corresponding week
Inst year. Failures In Canada number 25,
"'"J!'."9 ,nst week, 28 the preceding week
and 20 last year.
Forelsn Financial.
LONDON, Feb. 12-Rnte for money and
accounts were firm todny, consequent on
the wltdrawal of gold for Argentine. Busi
ness on the stock exchange was fairly
steady. Trading was quint, in the absence
of war news. Consols had a trifle easier
tendency at first, but hardened later and
clnaed nrin. American opened stagnant,
inanition in New York, due to the holi
day trad-s having discouraged dealings
here. Stock closed firm. Grand Trunk
wa buoyant on tha dividend declaration.
Foreigners were inactive and fairly Arm.
The movement on the part of frilled
States to insure China's neutrality had a
steadying effect. Chinese had a better
tone and Japanese and Russian were half
a point better. Bullion to the amount of
63.000 was taken Into the Bnnk of England
today and W,000 wa withdrawn for ship
ments to West Africa and 20,000 for ahip
menls to M:ilta. ,
PARIS,- Feb. 12,-The tone on , the bourse
today wns. much Improved. Business opened
calm, '.with price firm.' The declaration of
neutrality by the power produced a good
Impression. There were heavy purchases
of Russians during the closing hour and

CA 1 1 1 here wa a Vrv small run nt
cattle here this morning and in fact thera
were scurccly enough on sale to make a
fair test ot, the situation. The quality of
those that were offered was Inferior. Buy
ers, though, took hold quite freely and
everything- in sight was soon disponed of.
The market on beer.atiu.ra cmi.i nr ha
quoted anything but steady. Offering con
sisted ofa few buncfcwt ot uhort-feu stuff,
"i nuiuii iw'iini were noi at ail anxious,
rhey hud to have a- few eattle, though, and
as a result they bought' up what was of
fered at ifenirally steady prices. As com
pared with the close of last week there is
a.so very little change. Prices were higher
the first ot the week, but the advance ha
since been lost.
The cow market was active and steady to
trong. Buyers took hold with considerable
life, nnd there did not seem to be any mure
on sale than they wanted. When compari
son ore tnade with the close ot last week
it la found that prices If anything are a
little higher on the more desirable grades.
The change, however. Is not very Important.
Bulls were no more than steady today and
not very brisk. Veal calves sold readily at
steady prices.
There were only a few bunches of stockers
and feeders In the yards and the same aa
Is generally the case on a Friday not many
were wanted. For the week the murket U
reneral'.y H)fil5c higher so far as tha better
grades are concerned. The common kinds
have shown little Improvement. Repre

NEGROES DEMAND FAIR PLAY
Booaerelt-Webster Republican Club Etyi
Baca is Going Backward.
CALLS ON PARTY FOR MORE PATRONAGE
Wants Member In Legislature and
Tfventy lr Cent of Local Appoint
meats Commends President,
nt Criticises tonnress.
The recently organised Itoosevelt-Webster
Colored Republican club has adopted reso
lution declaring that members of the race
are "malting political progress backwards"
In Douglas county and demanding of the
party manager that a colored representa
tive be sent to Lincoln next winter and
that 20 per cent of the patronage of local
offlce holders be bestowed upon the negro.
The resolutions, copies of which have
been sent to President Roosevelt, John Lee
Webster and the republican elective office
holder of Omaha, say:
We view with alarm the local political
conditions, which show that the negro Is
making political progress backward; that
tne same per cent of decrease of public
office holders among us continuing for six
years will find us without a member of
our race In any public office In this com
munlty, and. therefore, calling tke attention
of the party managers to this apparent
local slight, demand that In the makeup of
our next legislative delegation to Lincoln
a representative of our race be given n
Place therein; that we be riven by those
in charge of the several departments of
our local government 20 per cent of their
patronage, and nothing less, and that the
colored republican clubs of this community
deport themselves politically In such man
ner an i to enforce this parugraph of these
resolutions. . ...
The administration of President Roosevelt
and the stand he ha taken upon the race
question are endorsed and the candidacy
of Mr. Webster for the vice rresldentlnl
nomination is heartily commended. The
party as a whole is criticised, however, a
follow:
Criticise Party nt Large.
That while It Is our purpose and de
termination to do all in our power to make
republican success sn assured fact at the
presidential and congressional ejections In
iScvembtr ne-xt, still we frel It to be our
duty to call attention to the fact that the
party hna not been sufficiently aggressive
and active In an effort to enforce the war
amendments to the ledcral constitution.
a result of this Inactivity and appurent
Iridlfrerence on the part of the leaders of
tho republican party to the fate of those
amendments, the southern democrats have
come to the cct elusion that they can with
perfect safety nullify, Ignore and com
pletely disregard those amendments, which
they are now doing.
We therefore call upon the republican
party,, not only of Nehraskm but of the
nation, to take such action as will secure
the enforcement In letter nnd In -spirit of
the war amendments tar the federal consti
tution. " To this end we urge the pnasape
by congress without delay of some such
bill or resolution a the one proposed by
Congressman Dick of Ohio or Congress
man Crumpacker of Indiana, providing for
a thorough investigation of the constitu
tion and law of the different states rela
tlvo to elections, with a view of taking
whatever action may be deemed necessary
to enforce and ctirry out the nntional con
stitution in letter and In uplrit In every
state In the union, or to reduce the repre
sentation In congress from such states ss
In the Judgment of congress are determined
to evade and nullify any one of said
amendment.
Class legislation and "lawlessness In
every form" are condemned snd any dis
crimination whatever against the negro or
"other American citizens on account of
race, color or religion" opposed In vigorous
language. It Is charged that some of the
white republicans in several states are try.
lug to draw the color line In the repub
lican party, nnd this Is disapproved and an
appeal made to check any such efforts.
FIGHT OVER CITY STREET

. Dispute .In t'nlted State
' . . J', .' Circuit Conrt.
The case of the Union Pftclflo" Railroad
Company against the City of Columbus,
Neb., wherein the vacation of a certain
street Is asked In order that the plain
tiff may build a freight house across the
property . asked to be vacated. Is being
argued before Judge Hunger In the United
Btate 1 circuit court. The interest of
the city of Columbua are being looked after
by Former Chief Justice J. J. Sullivan, W.
M. Cornelius and J. B. Eplris. attorney,
and the case for the Union Pacific by Edson
Rich.
The Union Paclfio claims the street
ha been deeded to the company by the
city and that It was long since abandoned
for thoroughfare purposes, because of the
number of tracks of the railroad com
pany ' crossing It. The attorney for Co
lumbua hold that the city had no right to
deed the street in question to the railway
company and that the ordinance creating
uch a deed or granting uch authority
wa Without right, authority or precedent,
anj was additionally Invalid because It wa
not read the requisite number of time
before passage and consequently any right
guaranteed to the railroad company under
such ordinance wa wholly invalid.
