TUB linn. ] There wns n suspicion toward
the close to-day that nn effort was being
made by certain largo sellers of "puts" Frl-
flay night to raid the market to n point where
Wheat would bo "put" to them. The price
was 8Gc for this ' 'privilege ' , " nnd there wus
n successful effort inndo during the last
thirty minutes to close July under that. The
market started weak at 8 * ; < c for July. The
Weather was fine , British cables came weak ,
jnd the influences from nil over the Moor
from the corn , oat nnd provision crowds
tvcro bearish , The chief explanation of the
course of tbo market Is , however , dullness.
Trading was confined to the pit. Scalpers
3ld most of the buying nnd most of the Bell
ing. It took very little effort consequently
Dn the part of Hutchinson nnd Ream to send
prices down. At 87c there wcro for awhile
enough buying orders to stop the decline.
There happened right after to bo some buyIng -
Ing by Mitchell and by others which , with
idlers momentarily cximu&tod , adrnnccd
July to 67 c. But the price did not hold.
Between noon and the close there wns sell
ing by Ilutchlnson and by Poole , which had
for its object the closing of July under SO-tfc.
Privilege traders made a llttlo light but
the plan wus HUccessful. July stopped at
fcOX@S < ! 9c. It IB expected that the vlslblo
supiily Monday will decrease over n million.
Lake llgures are still nn uncertain factor , but
It is anticipated thnt a very largo shnro of
last wcok's "on lake" and "on canal" grain
will by Monday bo out of the way. Ucam is
predicting n very sharp decline indeed fore
telling some very dlro thing.
There wus apparently no support given the
corn market , closing prices being at the very
bottom for July nnd May. May started at
r > 5c , nnd touched 5ic ( once , but closed at
Ktc , July opened ut Me , toucocd 5.1 &fc , but
closed nt &lc. Irwin , Green & Co. sold
2.10,000 bushels of July , supposed to bo
Shaw's holding. Scalpers made u set nt the
market , but were timorous. Hoyden picked
up some Mny , Belling July. Schwartz ,
Dupco Jfc Co. and Hobert Warren & Co. were
nlso Belling July. Foss , Strong & Co. and
Cl. C. Walker & Co. bought a little , but the
latter were on both sides. It is the talk that
thcro is 5,000,000 bushels shortage in May
still out ,
Tliu gimp was nlso out of oats , Mny
Belling from ! )7 ) = fc to 35 > fc , July from 33c
to 83c. Mnthcws sold.a good sized line of
August. Jones , ICennct't & Hopkins took one
lot of liT ! ,000 bushels from Schwarz for Au-
Ijust. Norton & Wortliington continued their
purchases of Juno. The weakness was
caught from the corn crowd.
In provisions thu week closed with n re-
cccdlng turn to prices. With the continued
dullness developed to-day In u weak market
nnd with holders disposed to shorten their
lines , n severe , ns well as general , dccjino oc
curred. In pork the depreciation suffered

little slow. The bulk of receipts wcro Texans -
ans nnd such as suited the city butcher or
refrigerator trade sold as high ns ut any time
this week , in fact n shade stronger than on
Thursday , the low day of the week. Suitable
natives wcro all sold and such butchers stock
ns the local trade wanted was also sold.
'Canning stock , either Tcxans ornativcs , were
Bold and prices were rather weak.
Business from first to lust this week has
been active with a remarkably steady range
of prices under the heavy run "for the season.
Fifty-one thousand head have come nnd
gene and left no unpleasant memories
to any one concerned. Prices maybe
bo disappointing to many that
placed their anticipation too high

n serious down-turn of 5@lUc , the break
occurring so late thut no mention could bo

yesterday ut least 5@lc ( ) lower than the

the day opened with 22,000 to 23,000 on sale

NKW YOIIK , May 20. [ Special Telegram
lo Tins BKB.J STOCKS The week has been
devoid of special attractions aside from that
Witnessed In St. Paul nnd Readings , which
Shaped the course of the entire list. St.
Paul was sold persistently all week and
bulls who huvo sought to control the mar
ket , but signally fulled , allowed the stock to
Tall to (17 ( % , which is the lowest price In four
yrars. These transactions nnd the resultlnu'
decline In price have givc'n the whole market
n partial stroke of paralysis which for n
Whllo only checked dealings In other stocks
bnt later , owing to their persistence , cre
ated considerable general realizing , which
found few buyers and depressed values
throughout the list. There nro many unfa
vorable but unconfirmed rumors as to the
financial condition of the St. Puul company ,
but It Is well known that the gross earnings ,
Ivhlch differ but llttlo from those of lust
year , nro no Index of the not results , the
latter being relatively much smaller and in
terest , nnd dividend requirements in the
meantime have accumulated heavily. Con
tinued declines huvo made investor * cautious
ind they look moro to security than to In
come. General business throughout the
country grows lighter nnd less satisfactory ,
The prolonged agitation of tariff rovUIon and
Uncertainty as to the result contributing
largely to this end. Money U a drug In this
city because there Is no ddinund In mercantile
tile- circles for its employment. Banks nro
Accumulating largo weekly increased sur
pluses but their loans have fallen oft until
this week , and to-day's statement showed an
Increase of $3,078,500 while the reserve only
gamed $539,150 , Thu surplus above legal ra-
milremeuts , however , U $27,845,500. The
placing of a Reading loan In London was the
last bull card but U had only u temporary
effect nnd the bulls wcro sadly disappointed.

Thcro was another run again to-day , there
being 120 fresh and twenty-eight stnlo loads
on salo. The total receipts for this week
amount to 40,000. The market to-day opened
very slow. The local packers mostly had
hogs on hand nnd wcro not in need of anymore
moro to complete the week's killing. For
this reason they wcro very indifferent buy
ers ns wcro nlso the shippers. Added to this
the reports from Chicago Indicated n decline
of 6fj < lc. ( ) The market was nt n standstill nil
the morning , the buyers bidding lOc lower
nnd In many cases 15c lower. Not over one-
third of the hogs wcro sold by midday. In
the afternoon the shippers went In with fresh
orders nnd the market was n little moro act

hardly bo quoted otherwise than lOc lower.
About twenty loads were loft over unsold.

averaged 1,243 and sold at ? 4.35.
J. G. Molstcr , hog buyer for E. A. Black-
shere , Baltimore , arrived at the yards to
day for the purpose of buying hogs. They
handle hogs of 100 Ibs. average and hogs o :
200 Ibs. and up.
From March 1 to data Omaha has gained
40,000 in the number of hogs packed , as com
pared with the sumo time lust year. During
the same time Kansas City has lost 51,75-
nnd Chicago 5,000. Ono year ago Kansas
City was 199,753 ahead of Omaha in the num
ber of hogs packed. This season Kansas
City is ony 00,000 ahead of Omaha.
The week's packing In the west has fallen
somewhat below corresponding time last
yrar , showing a total of Ib5,000 hogs , against
205,000 a year ago. From March 1 the aggre
gate Is now the Bamo as a year ago , 1,770.00 (
hogs. Most of the hogs now being handled
nro fairly good in quality , probably well ui
to the usual point for the time of your. It is
now evident thut the western packing during
the month of May will full consiilerablj
short of snmo time last year , although a part
of this deficiency has been balanced by an
enlarged eastern movement , which the cool
weather ban favored , maintaining the demand
for fresh product. The June packing las )
year was liberal , although considerably shorl
of the preceding year , and there are no rea
sons apparent wny last year's figures may
bo expected to bo exceeded the coming month
some decrease Is more likely. Ciiiciunut :

Knights Templar.
The thirty-llfth annual conclave of Knights
Templar of Pennsylvania began its session
in Pittsburg Tuesday morning , and was in
session during the week. There was a grand
parade the opening day , in which about 2,500
Sir Knights from all parts of the state par
ticipated. The weather was beautiful , and
all along the route the various commanderics
were greeted with applause for their soldierly
bearing and excellent marching. In the
afternoon the session of the grand ledge was
held In the opera house , and in the evening
there was a reception at the same place. The
city was in holiday garb and the streets were
thronged with strangers who had come to
the city to attend the opening day meeting.
A State Assembly.
The grand ledge of Knights of Pythias of
Ohio assembled at Zancsvlllo Tuesday for its
nineteenth annual session. The ledge was
attended by over 300 delegates , and was vis
ited by Howard Douglas , supreme chnncclloi
of the world , and S. J. Willey , supreme mas
ter of the exchequer. The most Important
business transaction was the unanimous
adoption of a resolution strongly endorsing
the course of the supreme chancellor in the
Pennsylvania matter ; the election of Past
Grand Chancellor A. P. Buttorfleld , of Gin-
cinnatl , ns supreme representative , and the
conferring of the grand ledge degree on over
100 members. The grand secretary's report
shows an increase of fifty-two lodges and

KnlghtM of thoGolaon Rule.
This organization in this city composed of
knights nnd ladles Is making rapid progress.
Their membership ranks are constantly in
creasing. Its members can carry nt option
insurances in the sums of $500 to (5,000. Being -
ing composed of men nmt women it has ad
vantages over similar organizations in a so
cial point , while the assessments on the vari
ous amounts are very moderate. A few
weeks ago the ladies of this society gave a
very interesting and praiseworthy see iublo ,
the effects of which are felt by the impres
sion it produced on the visitors and in making
many friends for the order. It is expected
that another good time will bo experienced at
their hands in the near future. It is the plan
of the organization to arrange for the holding
of regular sociables and thus bring about u
general personal acquaintance among the
members of the order.
*
A Spirit of 1'rogrosHlon.
Such a spirit is evident from the progress
of the Modern Woodmen of America In
Omaha. Around tliolr camp can bo found
some of the best men of the city and during
the past month many names have been added
to their list. An increase of annual duns ii
contemplated and by July 1 they expect to bo
"at homo" in their now iiuartors , the A , O.
U , W. hall in the Barker block. At present
they invite nil neighbors to gather around
the camp fire on Friday evenings in Hoynl
Asnmuin hull , Douglas street. Consul M , E.
ICerror Clerk A. W. Spoenl are always
ready to answer any inquiries about the
order.

Considerable interest is being manifested
ainoiiL' the members of the order of Knights
of honor , especially In Cleveland , Ohio , in
reference to the result of the coming session
of the Grand Lodge , which will be held in
Delaware , beginning Juno 13. For the past
thrcoor four years there has been a falling
off in the membership tnroughout Ohio , and

tor. For this otlieo : i number of gentlemen

being Judge T , H. Johnson , Cleveland ; C. Ih

Work Fur the Supreme liodgo Meeting
The Spur talks scnso when It addresses Iho
knights of this city as follows :
"If the Omaha knights dcslro to secure and
entertain the Supreme Lodco in 1SOO , nn
effort to that end should bo made at onco. A
mass meeting of all Omaha knights should
Immediately bo called nnd some action taken ,
Nothing could , of course , bo done nt this
meeting other than to exchange views of sen
timents favorable to or against the proposi
tion. If the knights of this city should de
cide that they wished to entertain that body ,
they should pledge themselves to raise the
amount of money necessary to do it hand
somely , then ndvlso Nebraska's representa
tives to the Supreme Ledge to try to secure
the next session for Omaha. We favor the
proposition nnd sincerely hope something will
bo done towards it in this month. "

Aid Union's Work.
The progress of the Equitable Aid union
throughout the country during the last year
is very llattcriug , nearly 0,000 members hav
ing been added to its ranks. The perfect
Justice nnd equality of the plan of insurance
never fails to moot the hearty approval of In
telligent men. Since the formation of the
Grand union of Ohio last March unusual
enthusiasm is manifested all over the state.
The Ohio membership will probably increase
1OUO or moro during this year.

KnlghtH WIUNot 1'aradc.
The public generally will bo grieved to
hear that the members of the uniform rank ,
Knights of Pythias , will not join in the
Decoration Day parade. The members of
the Second regiment were ordered out to
take part in the exorcises , but after some
delay and trojjblo the order was counter
manded. The reason for so doing was that

A New Temple.
There are some stories circulating among
the members of the Masonic temple craft of
the city that the members of that order are
planning for the purchase of a building silo
nnd the erection of a new seven story tcmplo
in this city.
The property that is considered the best
located for such a building is on the north
west corner of Furnam and Sixteenth streets ,
the old city hall property. The lots in ques
tion comprise the corner , sixty-six feet front
ing on Farnani , belonging to Mr. Kiloy , of
Philadelphia ; twenty-two feet adjoining on
the west , belonging to D. C. Patterhon , and
forty-four feet next west , and adjoining the
New York Lifo building , the property of
John F. Coad. The site has a like frontage
on Sixteenth street , nnd covers one-fourth
of a block.
Thu building to be erected will contain the
halls and ledge rooms of the order in this
city , and the oillccrs of the grand ledge of
thestate. . The original hall on Sixteenth
street nnd Capitol avenue was enlarged about
two years ago , but the growth of the order
has been bo rapid that it will be compelled
before long to seek even larger and more
commodious quarters. At present thirteen
lodges , chapters and commanderics hold their
meetings in Masonic hall.
The order is amply able to carry out this
work and if it is once actively taken up will
no doubt bo pushed to an early completion.
