There wbb a sufllcient similarity in their
opinions to amount to practical agree
ment on some of tho moro important
points. All ngrced that wo have touch
ed tho bottom of tho trouble and that
any futuro change- must bo upwnrd.
Most of them thought thd chango had al
ready commenced, but nono predicted a
very rapid revival. All pointed to tho
small number of failures sinco tho. tlrst
of tho year as a good sign and thcro was
unanimity in tho opinion that liquida
tion had gone on so far that tho situation
has at least been a very sound one.
With aggregate liabilities bo far reduced
all believed that tho foundation is now
nil that could be desired for the build
ing of a superstructure of general activ
ity and prosperity. It was generally
hoped that congress might speedily dis
poso of tho tariff question, looking for
Bomo improvement to follow, as soon as
this might be done. Our authorities
hero at home generally predict somo ap
preciable improvement in tho spring,
but hardly expect a return to normal
conditions earlier than fall, when with a
good fnll crop, prosperous times
again confidently foretold."

Tho following Hpecial market summary
is prepared for Tiik Couiiikk by Duncan
Hollinger & Co., 837 P street, this city :
The past week has been uneventful
so far as grain markets nro concerned,
either cash or speculatively.
Tho price of tho May futuro in wheat
opened on Monday last at fl3?H4o
sold at 04jfic, us low us 03J.o, closing on
Thursdny at U42604a'u. Tho cash
article has remained nominally at
00jjC for the twosprlng and two red
winter varieties.
The full sown grain, from all informa
tion obtainable appears to bo maintain
ing ii fairly good position, being protect
ed by u covering of snow in the most im
portant districts. The critical period
for this crop is to come. Should it en lib r
serious injury from severo weather,
higher prices will be assured, while on
the other hand should the crop continue
in its present condition and our present
largo supplies from previous crops not
bo materially reduced, a lower range of
values must naturallj follow.
The total receipts of wheat at all pri
mary points for the first four days this
week have been 1,012,000 bushels as
against 1,303,000 bushels same days last
week and 1,020,000 bushels for the same
days last year.
The movement of spring wheat in tho
North-West while not heavy, is fully up
to that of lust year.
Exports for this week, from both
coasts, promise to bo tho smallest of
this crop year and will do woll to exceed
two million bushels. The visible supply
on Monday last showed a decrease of
118,000 bushels. It can hardly bo ox
tiected to do so well next week.
Speculation has its weather eye on
our national capito, Legislation will
in n measure govern tho actions of thn
Bull and Bear element in the near
futuro. It is to be hoped that tho action
of CongrcsB will result beneficially to
tho producers.
Cork: Prices of this cereal have re
mained even more stationery than in
wheat. The cut rates recently effective
on the various ruilroads from the Mississ
ippi River to Chicago, have in somo in
studces resulted in advancing the prlco
paid to producers and shippeis. Tho
exports of corn from Nebraska nro all
that could be desired and must tell on
values before another crop is harvested.
Prices being paid to farmers in this
state range from 21 to 22 cents per
buahel. This is neither high nor low.
'Ihoroisllttlothutcanbosaidabouttho
oat market. It continues to follow in
the wake of corn, That the last crop
WBi'very Bhort, there can bo no doubt,
but tho demand is not urgent. Stocks
of oats in Nebraska nro extremely small.
UiiIucb of this cereal will follow those of
corn very closely, at least until the tlmo
for planting the new corn is at hand.
Prices of live hogs at Chicago have re
mained about tho tamo for tho week,
ranging from 15.20 to $5,(10 per cwt. for
good hogs.
Tho total number packed at leading
provision centers this week aro 200,000
hogs against 270,000 lust year.
A business change of much imtiort
anco is tho purchiiBo of tho Btock and
good will of tho Chicago Lumber com
pany, of this city, 125 S. Eighth Btreet,
by DIcrkB Bros., of Broken Bow, tho do
tails of which have just boon consum
mated. II. P. Foster began business
with the BuekstutT lumber fltock thir
teen years ago; and thoChicago Lumber
company has had a particularly prospor
our career, doing a good trade with a
very desirable class of custom. M. T.
Green, of Chicago, was Mr. Foster's
partner. Tho entire interest of both
theso parties is now obsorbed by DierkB
Bros., a firm coiuitoscd of four brothers
HaiiB. German, Peter and Henry. This
is an old and well .established institu
tion, and ono that will bo a decided ac
quisition to Lincoln. Tho firm has
yurdB at Broken Bow, Ansehno, Mcrna,
Borwyn, Ansloy, Mason City, Litchfield,
Hazard, Rnvonnu, Callaway and Stock-
ham. Tho central ofllco has been at"
Broken Bow. Tho headquarters aro
now transferred to thiw city, and tho
genoral business will bo dono from this
point. Messrs Hans and Herman DiorkH
will havo charge of this central ofllce,
and Peter and Henry DierkB will remain
at Broken Bow. Tho Btock of lumber
now on hand will bo largely increased,
so us to meet tho roquiromentB of a sup
ply depot for tho yards out in tho Btato
and also for tho purposes of tho jobbing
trado, to which Bpccial attention will bo
given. Business will bo dono under tho
name of Dierks Bros. In addition to
lumber, a full lino of lime, cement and
builder's material will bo carried. Tho
gentlemen composing this firm havo an
oxcollont reputation throughout tho
stato. Thoy uro conservative, practical
business men, of unquestioned financial
standing. Under their direction thoro
will bo a very considerable development
of tho business. Mr. Foster will for
Bomo timo, givo his attention to closing
up tho old business ufTaira of tho Chica
go Lumber company.

According to tho Credit lii'vicw tho
totul bank clearings for 1893 showed a
doelino of nearly 18 per cent. Tho losses
wero tho least in tho south of any sec

ally showed gain. Galveston, Houston,
Dallas and Waco showed largor totalfl
than in 1892. Tho Bharpest declines wero
on tho Pacific coast, although thoro Los
Angeles showed a substantial increase.
Increases at other points aro rare. Tho
dcclino at Chicago was less than at the
othor largo cities, it being 8-9 per cent

Philadelphia; Denver showed a dcclino
of 37 per cent; Kansas City was only 7;
Minneapolis lost 24; Omaha was almost

than 23 per cont.
It wub freely predicted in December
that a number of failures in this city
wero inevitable in January; but tho first
month of the year, and the dullest of tho
twelve, 1ms gone, and Lincoln's business
institutions have not suffered tho least
disturbance In fact in many instances
there havo been material advances, a
number of iniortaut changes having
been mado that will tend to enlarge tho
business field in this city and extend the
operations of tho jobbing trade. Lin
coln's business houses havo gone through
the trying times of tho last eight mouths
in such a manner as to testify to their
soundness, and they aro now In a most
satisfactory condition, with ample
strength to await the revival of business,
tho signs of which aro already manifest.

It is said that tho building at tho
stato penitentiary recently destroyed by
tire, will be rebuilt in 'lie near future, at
u cost of something less than 85,000, tho
contractors to look to the next legisla
ture for tho money. If this is done the
building will bo occupied as befoio, by
the Lincoln Range & Furnueo company,
and tho saddlory department of the
BuckstafT Brothers Manufacturing com

has succeeded the Zohruug Glass &
Paint company, Henry Zehrung und

was started in February, 1893, by Henry
Zohrung and it has been established

has elapsed since that time. The stock

paints, window glass, mirrors, sash, oils,
brushes, etc., tepresents an expenditure
of ?2i,U0u, ana, under tlio now manage

tho quarters on booth Twelfth street,
with a frontage of 150 feet, are inudo
qiinto to accommodate tho demnndsof tho
business, and tho company is now figur
ing on building a waiehouse with track
ago facilities. Two traveling men rep
resent this concern on tho road and the

large, and will, it is expected, be greatly

the United States land ofllco at
Broken How, was in the city tills
week. Mr. Whitehead was a star mem
ber of the legislature live jears ago; ho
was tho republican candidate for con
gress in the Sixth district against Omar
M. Kern in 1892, and ho is a splendid
typo of tho brainy farmer, with a gift In
tho way of oratory and a silver tongued
voice, and an acquaintance with tho
classics that gives a scholarly flavor to
his public speeches. Mr. Whitehead Is
a republican all over, and his manner is
affable and his conscience remarkably
clear- a condition not commonly met
with amon;' politicians.
"Will you bo a candidate for tho nom
ination again?" a Couiukk representa
tive asked Mr. Whitehead.
"I havo not committed myself on that
point," ho leplied.
"Do you beliove there is a fair chance
for republican bucccss in your dlstric
this full?"
"I do. It will only bo necessary to
reduce Kern's plurality about 1.100 to
elect a republican, anil I am confident
this can bo done."
Whitehead is popular and it is not at
nil unlikely that he will bo given a sec
ond nomination. Judge Holcomb is
mentioned as a prospective populist can
didate in tho Sixth. Well Informed pol
iticiiuiBon tkeslato central coinmltteo
think that there is an encouraging pros
pect for republican success in this dis
trict. In fact it is held that there aro very
flattering indications that it will be pos
sible to elect a republican congressman
in each of tho six districts this Novem
ber. W. E. Andrews, Governor Crounso's
private secretary, is in lino for a second
nomination in his district, und there aro
many who predict tliut ho can down
McKcighun in another contest. Hninor
wilbuudoubiedly bo returned from his
districti'and'Mciklojohn wili servo again
from tho Third, as will Duo Mercer
from tho Second. In our own district
it is certain that it good republican can
didate would win.

This contemporary says that unfortu
nate differences between local leaderB
in Lancaster county will compel tho rest
of tho district to extinguish any ambi
tion now burning in tho hearts of "Lam
bortson, Billingsloy, Field, Court nay
and others for a nomination this full."
Judge Chapman and Orlando TelTt, of
Cass county, aro disposed of in a man
iter similarly summary.
John C. WutBon, of Otoo, is lined out
becuuso tho AYuvi thinks ho would not
givo up u 818,000 practice for a 85,000
congressman's job.
Judge Reuvis, of Richardson, is not in
it, according to tho Africa, because of tho
"infirmities of age."
hi u a
ino uuimaio conclusion or our con
temporary is that tho one man to lead
the party in tho congressional fight this
year is Church Howe.
Politicians who aro acquainted with
Howe will havo no diflicnlty in recog
nizing tills remarkable expression of the
Plattsinouth paper as a piece of tho
Howe fluo work with which tho district
will bo flooded for tho next few months.
No doubt tho possiblo candidates in
this county and Judge Chapman and
Senator Tefft, and John C. Watson and
Judge Reavis will feel indebted to Howe
for his kindly consideration in thus to
moving them fiom the field of action.
Mr. Howe is correct when ho says that
there are a number of prospective cundi
dates in this county, albeit his list is
rather clumsy; but Lancaster will only
havo ono cindidato when she reaches
the district convention.
It is said that ex-Chief Justice Max
well is now looking forward to contest

will try for the populist nomination.

(Wrllloii fur Tin: ComiiKii.)
Wahiiimiton, Feb, 1, 189l.-Spceial
CorresK)iidence. Although nono seem
to bo satisfied with tho condition of af
fairs, all agree that the' political situa
tion at the present tlmo is extremely
interesting, be it from a republican, dem
ocratic or populist standpoint. The
dominant party 1b not only not liarmon
ioiiBoii thatisuio of issues, tho tariff, but
it Is divided against itsoir according to tho
peculiar demands of tho respective dis
tricts from which the delogutcH to con
gress come. Those from Louisiana want
a tarilT on sugar, those from Alabama,
on iron, and thbso from West Virginia,
on coal und so on; but as opposition to
tho republican tariff policy under which
the country lias prospered for thirty
ycais, is about all there 's of tho demo
cratic creed, the leaders havo determined
to put tho Wilson bill through, or some
thing like it, it possiblo, notwithstand
ing the business depression and deter
mined opposition within their own
ranks. Democrats have been heard to
remark Unit just now tho party seeniB to
be "between the devil and tho deep blue
sea." If tarllf reform is not enacted, the
party will be subjected to ridicule for
years to come, while if it passed the ex
isting depression, which is not likely to
pass uwuy very quickly, will, by the "un
thinking public," be churgod to that
mcusuie; so, on tho wholo, the only thing
to do is to put it through at all hazards.
The complexity of the situation is not
diminished by tho tie-up between the
president and the senate. The rejection
of Hornblower, brought about by tho
Hill influence, was followed by tho veto
by tho president of Senator Hill's bildgo
bill and tho nomination of Pcckhum, an
other anti-Hill man, to the supremo
bench. It is reported that tho senato
lias only confirmed nine of tho presi
dent's nominations recently, all of them
Hill mon, while those not of tho Hill
faction uro still on the hook. Mr. Cleve
land Is not at all pleased at this, and he
is said to havo determined to send few
nominations to the senate until mutters
aio straightened out. In tho meiintimo
tho supreme court is tilling occasional
vacancies in the olllco of United States
marshal und district attorney; und it is
said that theio aro 700 vacancies in
postmasterships waiting to be Hilled.
The skeleton In the family closet is the
feeling quite generally entertained and
which occasionally bubbles to tho sur
face, that Mr, Cleveland is not a real
democrat unjwny.
hi reBpect to Mr. Cleveland, ho is be
lieved to have his troubles tho princi
pal one being the attitude of the senate,
and the mlscariiage of his Hawaiian pol
icy, widen was undoubtedly conceived
with the best intentions, and was do
signed to call forth praise from the
American people. In respect to his ap
pointments, the principle criticism is
that there is too much factional mtlitics
in them the president ought to be
above that.

ernment ia just now receiving some at

One of Secretary Carlisle's recent or-
dins Iiiih caused considerable talk among
the treasury clerks. It seems that ouch
clerk Is a'lowed thirty days annual leave
or vacation and sick leave not to exceed
thirty days additional. If sick leave is
taken one day at u time tho clerk must
imiko iitllduvlt that tho absence was
caused by sickness, if more than ono day
tho eertillciile of u physician is required.
Tho sick-leave allowance has been
abused by many clerks to such an extent
that Mr. Carlisle felt constrained to or.
dor thai in tuturo all absences on ae
count of slukness must bo reported by
nolo by eleven o'clock, whereupon a sur-
geon from the marine hospital Is sent to
tho clerk h icsldeuco to diagnose tho
esse und report (ho result. It Is n mat
ter of common notoriety that tho re
quired nllldavil Ih made to cover very
slight ailments and the physician's cer
tificate is as easy to obtain us a prescrip
tion for whisky in a prohibition town.
In a certain olllco of tho Interior de
partment which is admitted to havo a
splendid record in regard to sick leaves
It Is reported that out of 100 clerks,
twenty-one took all the sick leave to
which they wero entitled lust year. Tho

record.
Tho social season in Washington coiitu
indices with Now Year's und of course '
ends with tho beginning of Lent. Thoro
have been no very brilliant alfalrs tills
winter,and although the season this year
Is very short, there lias been no disposi
tion whatever to hasten tho pneo of tho
social world. Some comment has been
provoked by tho evident disinclination
on tho part of Mrs. Cleveland to become
the leader she might be, InijL it should
be remembered that she has more
cares now than during her former resi
dence in tho White house, and then she
lias bj'en all through it once, and possi
bly she dooB not euro to tuko bo uctlvo a
