THE EDITORS MEET.
Busy Session of the Press
Association.
The Large! Attendance and the Meat
Interesting and Profitable Ses
sion Ever Held.
The twentieth annual meeting of
the Nebraska Press association,
which clored Friday evening,
was pronounced by the veteran
members the most largely attended
and successful meeting ever held
by the association.
The annual address, delivered by
President F. G. Simmons, embodied
many timely and pertinent sug
gestions. J. D. Kleutsch, of the Lincoln
Freie-Presse, and Editor Marvin, of
the Beatrice Democrat, delegates to
the national association recently
held at St. Paul, Minn., made their
reports, each of which indicated
that the association is in a pros
perous condition.
The evening exercises, held in the
W. C. T. U. Temple, were largely
attended by the citizens of Fremont.
Rev. Buss, of the Congregational
church, delivered the address of
welcome which was appropriately
responded to by E. M. Correl, of the
Hebron Journal.
A. L. Hixby. of the Columbus
Sentinel, delivered a humorous
poem which put the audience in a
proper frame of mind to appreciate
the practical and solid oration de
livered by E litor Brown, of tl e Kerr
ney Hub. The exercises were en
livened by the delivering of recta
tions and vocal solos by Miss Nellie
McPherson and Mrs. Fred Nye
respectively.
Friday morning the association
met at 9 a. m. After the appoint
ment of committees it was decided
t arrange for an excursion to
Dtiluth next summer, and thechair
appointed as a committee, F. G.
Simmons, E M. Correl and S. C.
Woodruff.
S. P. Mobley, of the Grand Island
(Ind.) introduced the followingresc
lution: Resolved, That the Nebraska
Press Association is hereby in
favor of having Nebraska make
such an exhibit at the world's fair
as will fitly set forth before the
world her advantages and natural
resources, and that we will at all
times render all reasonable assist
ance in promoting said exhibit, and
that we will favor such financial
assistance bythe state as will be
shown to be neccesary to enable Ne
braska to make a creditable show
ing alongside of her sister states in
this great exposition.
Resolved, That we request the
ready print and house-supplying
Nebraska papers to maintain a
special department devoted to pro
motion of the interests of the Ne
braska exhibit, in which all Nebras
ka citizens should be and no doubt
will be interested.
LTpon a motion to adopt the reso
lution a heated discussion was en
gendered, two or three reformers(r)
favoring the striking out of that
portion refering to the financial as
sistance but it was finally adopted
by a large majority.
F. O. Edgcomb, of the Falls City
Journal, read an able paper upon
"Business" methods.
At this juncture Grand Island and
Columbus each extended the asso
ciation invitations to hold the next
meeting in its town. Columbus
secured the plum by a vote of 27 to
30.
S. P. Mobley, of the Grand Island
Independent, read a well prepared
paper upon "Independent Journal
ism." The time from 1.30 to 3.30 was de
voted to a drive about the city visit
ing the many places of interest, for
which the promising little city of
Fremont is noted, notably among
which were the Fremont twine
manufactory, foundry, bucket
manufactory and the normal school.
At the latter institution the visitors
were accorded a hearty welcome by
President Clemmons, who with his
estimable wife entertained them
handsomely. This school is an in
stitution of which Fremont feels
justly proud. It hasbeen under
the management of President
Clemons but three yearsand has
already attained a membership of
over 400.
At 3:30 the association re-convened
Geo. P. Marvin, of the Beat
rice Democrat, read a very interest
ing and highly creditable paper
upon "Local News" after which the
election of officers for th e ensuing
year was given attention resulting
in the re-election of F. G. Simmons,
of the Seward Report, president;
C. M. Hubuer, Nebraska City News,
first vice president, and Ross Ham
mond, of the Fremont Tribune, sec
retary. The business of the association
having been completed, the enter
tainment for the evening was
placed in the hand of the reception
committee. Under their direction
the generous citizens of Fremont
provided a banquet which was
largely attended.
Your correspondent thinks this
account of the meeting would be
incomplete without reference to
the hospitality and generosity ex
hibited by the citizens of Fremont
in providing entertainment for the
guests. No expense or pains were
spared to render their visit enjoy
able and profitable.
SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
W. G. Tress St Co., Bankers & Commit
sion Merchants, Nos. 2 and 4 Siicrm-Ji
Street, Chicago, in their last special mar
ket letter say: The most important in
fluence now affecting the valu of wheat
and which promises to aflo.d a substantial
support to the market during tht remain
ing months of the crop year is the urgent
demand for the spot grain at prices rela
tively higher than current quotations K-r
deferred futures. While the liberal sto'-ks
at leading primary markets have not be it
materially reduced, the movement from
first hands in a large portion of the winter
wheat section has b en so l:ght that millets
having exhausted their reserves are com
pelled to purchase at points of accumula
tion or cease grinding. The, gradual in
crease in the demand from this source,
with the continued investment buying of
occasional speculators, on all moderate re
actions, have caused a marked change in
sentiment and prevented serious breaks
when there was apparently but iiitle sub
stantial support. The export demon J con
tinues excellent and the needs of liurop
are sufficient to assure its continuance.
The Uverpool Corn Trade Nezvs has raised
its estimate of the probable demands to be
made on America, 34,000,000 bushels, and
its estimate of Kurope's weekly require
ments from 7,000,000 bushels to 7,680,000
bushels, indicating that the consumption
has been greater than expected and that
their stocks' are smaller than the heavy
imports suggested. The weather has again
become an. important factor and as pprin;
approaches wil. exert a masked infiaenc.-'
in dertermining prices, and the volume ol
outside business. The growing crop can
not sustain any additional damage without
causing quite general complaints and a r:
vival of speculative interest. Numerous
reports of damage by freezing and thaw ng
have been recently received, and unless
another fall of snow occurs the discourag
ing reports will doubtless inu tiply. The
Chilian difficulty has been responsible for
several speculative flurries of short dura
tion but preiemtd no speci.il fe.tu es to
permantiy affect the supply and demand
relations.
The corn market after having ruled dull
and uninteresting for many wfeks shows
signs of renewed activity, and premises to
afford speculators a field for profitable
operations. The magnitude of the last
crop induced free short selling of the May
future without regard to the possibility 01
there being insufficient grain available on
delivery day with which to fill outstanding
contracts, resulting in an oversold market.
We have several times in our special, and
daily market letters called attention to the
fact that the demand for cash corn held
prices so near the May future that cribbing
at country stations was unprofitable, and it
is to this condition of affairs that the revival
of interests is due : for with no corn in
country grain dealers' hands to supply the
unusual consumptive and export demand at a
season when farmers will be busily engaged
with their spring work, where the grain is
to come from to meet these requirements
and fill short sales is a problem which may
prove difficult of solution. That the re
quirements will tax the transportation facili
ties of our railways is evidenced by the
unprecedented export demand which thus
far during the crop year had required 125,
000,000 bushels more than for the corres
ponding period last year. The increased
foreign demand is most gratifying because
it is occasioned in a great measure by the
better knowledge of the value of American
corn as a cheap bread grain and will doubt
less result in creating a market for a larger
proportion of our surplus in the future.
Oats, while influenced by the action of
corn and wheat, maintain a. fair degree of
independence and more readily respond to
advances in the other cereals than to the
declines. This is due to the steady con
sumptive demand, although the movement
eastward is still hampered by inadequate
transportation facilities, and the fact that
the invisible supply is known to be less than
it was a year ao.
Provisions have shown great indepen
dence, bein? influenced but little by the
fluctuations in wheat and have found friends
in strong local operators besides the pack
ers, who, having liberal stocks of manu
factured product are interested in main
taining remunerative prices. The packing
returns show a marked decrease in the
number of hogs slaughtered and contribute
to the feeling of confidence and strength
exhibited.

that. Nothing else was missed
