The local financial situation is nbout the

ply , sunicient to meet all lozitlmctc de
mands , but ihero is no surplus fur specula
tion , nnd rates are stilt ut S to 10 per cent.
Collections through bankcn on city trad
ers are promptly met , and there Is altogether
n better feeling than was perceptible last
week. Country collections hnvo ' not im-
provt.-d greatly during the last ten days , and
failures are more frequent than is ugroe.iblo
to cautious credit men , still , in a
majorily of rases the assets equal the liabil
ities , nnd whore conlldencc is felt in the in
tegrity of the debtor there Is a strong dispo-
Hillon on tin ) part of creditors to help turn
tide over the rough places , and there Is more
suspended debts created than actual losses
made. General Iradu is not active , but there
is u fair demand for staples , anil thu indica
tions are thut sales this spring will bo up to
the average. Prices in groceries nro un
changed. oxc"pt In dried fruits , nnd canned
corn nnd tomatoes , which nrc de
moralized nnd lower. Dry goods are
stciuty , wild a very fair demand for spring
goods. Hardware and lumber are active for
the season. Coal is null witli heavy stocks
to carry over. Local retail trade is fair nnd
the anticipation is for good lively business

Tlio Terrible Kxpcrlcncn of Colonel

Four UOIII.VSON. Nob. , Fob. 12.
[ Special to TIIK HUM. ] It was from the
old Cod Cloud agency near Fort Robin
son Colonel Henry inarched on his now
famous cold ride. The story of this
rldo has often been told and needs but
briefly to be mentioned here.
Only a plainsman knows thu meaning
of the word "norther. " It is more
dreadful thnn fire or shipwYeolc when
the ice god turns on his blizzard anil
drives the thermometer down to ID de
grees below 7.oro. No human being can
live in the open air and many of the
toughest and hardirst animals succumb
to the intense cold. Deer have been
found huddled together in groups of
live and ten. dead and fro/ten stilt by a
norther , and even wildcats , lynx , buf
falo and llocky mountain lions hnvo
died of cold on the plains.
It was mid winter , December " < i , 1871 ,
whiMi the bravo Henry marched , witli
his little band , from Jled Cloud. He
had only ono company , I ) Third cavalry ,
and wns going after llliiek llillera. The
gold had been discovered in the LJIack
Hills and the miners were rushing in.
It lay in their land and the Indians
had tlireatened to kill them. The gov
ernment hud ordered the intruders out
but the intruders refused to go. To
save their lives and ut the same time
enforce the orders of the government
Colonel Henry was sent lo bring out
the intruding miners. The dangers of a
mid-winter expedition were known , but
the case was urgent. Colonel Henry's
route lay by Spotted Tail agency and in
two days lie arrived there. Falling
Star , an Indian guide was to go with
Henry from Spotted Tail , but the
woatlier was so terribly cold the Indian
refused to venture out. A white guide
named Knymoml was s > ubstUutoil for
the Indian nnd Colonel Henry pushed
on. The thermometer was falling
rapidly and the weather turning in
tensely cold. .Still they pressed on.
Knee Crook , White River , Dad Lands ,
Ash Spring.- , and South Cheyenne were
reached and on New Yeai's day they
camped in the Cheyenne valley. The
thermometer registered = I clew and
was still falling. They erupt into the
leeway of the hills and got out of the
wind as much as possible , but this
allorded but slight protection from the
dreadful cold. .lanuary 1 they pushed
on and reached Kile Crook. Here tiiov
expected to find the miners , but they
found none. Not a soul , not a living
thing , only cold , cold , cold ; ice , snow
and wind.
The sutYering on the outward march
had been intense , and Henry having
reached his destination and finding his
search fruitless determined to get back
as hoon as possible. Before the storm
had uoen in their faces , now it
was on their backs. A little shel
ter was found on the . banks
of a small lake , the lirst
night on the return trip , and they.
camped ninid snow and ice on the hard
frozen ground. During the night the
wind changed , and the next day they
had the storm in their faces. It was
terrible , and the weather seemed every
minute to be in-owing colder. All
day they toiled along , suffering untold
agony. ' Kvidcntly the men and hort.es .
were freezing. Colonel Henry saw this ;
in fact felt it. Languor which precedes
death from inton.-o cold was stealing
over the weaker ones , and they could
with dilliculty be konl up. Many nearly
fell from their horses. Some no longer
felt the cold , and knew they wore freez
ing to death. Tlio situation became
critical in the extreme , but Colonel
Henry was equal to it. Putting his
best men and strongest horses behind ,
he gave the command to "gallop. " On
they went , hardly knowing whore they
wore going. Night was coining on , and
it was ride for life. On , on , over
the prairie through the blinding storm
aud biting cold. With indomnitable
courage and perseverance , the com
mander , who was not a strong man
physically , held himself up and encour
aged his men not only by his example.
but cheerfully by words. They could not
s-oo and give rein to their horses , who ,
as if understanding what was wanted of
them , plunged forward with their stiff
ened riders straight against the storm
und halted not until they came to a
ranch whore a white man lived with an
Indian wife. It was shelter , food and
lire and they wore saved. Of the forty
men on the expedition all were frosted.
Some lost toes , lingers , noses tin a
ours , but 1 think none died.
Many wore maimed for life
and I think Colonel floury lost
Home lingers. The shook ho then re
ceived probably permanently injured
his health as he has never boon strong
since. The Colonel Henry of the fa
mous ride is the same Colonel Henry
now acen on your streets every day , the
inspector of rillo practice on General
Brook's stnlT. It was a terrible experi
ence for any man to have and such us
comes to few army olllcers oven in their
adventurous lives. Tlio escape was
nrovidential. Colonel Henry himself
says : "Wo all know it was a race for
life ; wo were helpless ; neither brain
nor eye would longer servo us ; the in
stinct of our horses could alone save
those of us wlio could hold out to ride. "
And when man became powerless to
act God guided the hor.ies and saved
Colonel Henry and his command.

the question generally asked , and not often
satisfactorily answered. The foreign now.s
was not of a sensational character. St. Louis
was inrlincn to weakness all day , and none
of the winter wheat points exhibited more
than 11 sympathetic strength. New York nil -
vanced rather sharply , St. Louis pulled Iviek
like a mule , and Milwaukee did not freely
respond , while Minneapolis was higher mid
Uuluth bulgy. Most of the lire w.w furnished
right here at home. ' 1 here was pretty coDd
buying around tiip start by the local bulls ,
but there was a scarcity of speculative offer
ings , llloom and Singer Hupplyiuir what there
was in the way of leadership on that side.
Then two or three largo houses began buying
on a rather liberal scale. It was
learned later that they were cover
ing short Wheat for foreign account ,
tlieir customers abroad having nt length
yielded to the imperative urging from their
Chicago correspondents to get in out of the
wet. Of late some very strong hints to the
May shorts to lill their contracts have gone
out , and where talk has not had tne desired
effect , heavy margin calls have been made.
The resolute suml maintained by the lead-
1m ; longs , and the utter failure of the bears
to run them out ( has produced its effect on
the minds ot prudent commission merchants ,
mid some of them are refusing to tnko new
trades in May. This may bo tin excess of
caution , but that is what they are doing , just
the same. The covering of wheatlor foreign
account was on a scale to alarm Bloom , and
lie started to climb. The higher the fence
the more certain Bloom is to get
over it. ' That was what le ; did
to-day , mid ' his wild endeavors to
"
cut short "his losses constituted one of the
picturesque , tortures of the dav. Bloom ,
however , was.isot the only short , by a large
majority. He was in society , and the num
ber was not limited to the 'MOO. " The shorts
made most of the commotion , and the mar-
Itet was not rclipved at any stage by the sell
ing out of aiiy considerable lines of long
wheat , so Inr us can be ascertained. The
close was strong at a iij c advance over yes
terday in May and le in .Inly. July opened
nt IMJie , ranged to 'J4\fW ( > CKJtfc , and closed at
tKye.
The corn market started oft with an ap
pearance ot firmness , which , from later de
velopments , seems to have been borrowed
from the surprising strength of wheat. The
receipts again overran the estimates made
yesterday , and although the prevailing
weather was most unfavorable for any
improvement , still the daily in
spection returns show more No.
2 corn in the present receipts. The
export movement is unabated , and gives
every indication of continuance. The homo
consumptive demand also shows an enor
mous capacity of absorption at the present
prices , but the nressuro of the offerings from
the interior seems to crusli all vitality out of
the business. The business done was almost
entirely by tbo local operators , the outside
orders being apparently scarce. The offer
ings for June were liberal , und it did not re
quire the selling of a very large quantity to
turn the opening flrinnnss in the opposite di
rection. The speculative sentiment is in
fluenced to a great extent by the difference
in price of No. 3 nnd No. 2 in the cash
market , the former for all practical
present purposes , being almost equal
to No. 2 , nnd the latter commanding its
present unusual premium from its availa
bility for the lllling of speculative contracts ,
a superiority which the more liberal receipts
of that grade , to bo expected nt no distant
dnto , would quickly reduce. The near fu
turcs in the end showed the most weakness ,
except in the case of the Juno delivery , the
pressure of offerings being greatest for that
month. February closes J4'c lower to-day
than yesterday , March % c. May nbout 1-Kic ,
nnd June from } a to fye lower. The esti
mated receipts for Monday are 405 ears.
The oat marKet ruled quiet and uneventful
within a slightly lower range. There was a
general dullness in all futures but May.
That month opened llrm nt 23\c , but imme
diately sold off and declined to 2Jc. Few
trading orders could bo executed ut cither
extreme , with most of the business ut me
dium figures , a fair demand ap
pearing around 275f@27J < c , or
nbout a } c decline. The grading of
the receipts was exceptionally good , with
llfty car.sof No. 2 and No. 2 white in a total
of iil : cars. Tlio withdrawals from store
aggregated nearly 27,000 bushels. There
was a fair trade in regular No. i ! oats at
8.'r > 4C " 5i'c.
In provisions the old bearish feeling as
sumed control. The improvement witnessed
yesterday increased , if anything , the dis
position already existing to short the
market , and under the excessive future
offerings n severe break was suffered. The
bear interest had practical control , and ut
the adjournment pork showed a net decline
for the day of SOifi'3J ( < c , lard of 7 c , and
short ribs of 5C'rlaO. ' The best prices ob
tained prevailed at or Just following the
opening , and the lowest towards the close of

St. Paul was the weak feature and wnrln-

last night's figures , rapidly declined IV per

tluruil looha of the nobles of the court of
Louis ? XV. , his line fonturos. brilliant
dark cyos and fresh nwoalo complexion.
Tlioro' was always somolhiti" ; daintily
ooiiuottish In Ills ininuto ntlontinn to
the dolnlls and pen oral finish of his
attire , oven whoa at work in his studio.
On such occasions ho always wore a. coat
and waistcoat of black vojvot , which sot
oil" to perfection the delicate coloring
of his line picturesque head.
HIS JIANNHUS
wore oven nioro attractive than his ap-
pearance. His Denial , gentle courtesy
was nn fail iujr , and 1 hayo never foi-fjot-
ton the day , fourteen years ajo , wlion
1 wont , an unknown correspondent , to
visit for the lirst time , his httulio , and
was received by tlio colohratod artist
'
with frank cor'diality and kindliness.
Neither his Lrreat renown nor his per
sonal bounty nail any elTect in making
him conceitud. Ho comprohundod his
own oiiiiis and his own fume , and in
deed ho could not help doing , but ho
was too great ever to poacoek himself ,
as many of his far less _ gifted colleagues
are in the habit of doing.
Cubaaol had an especial lilting for
Americans. Asa _ portrait painter ho
fairly revelled in immortalizing on can
vas the iinesl types of American beauty.
Ilo often said" that my country ponple
wore thoroughly sympathetic 'to him.
lie had a peculiar faculty for dis
cerning and bringing to the surface ,
in his finale portraits ospeninUv , the
hidden characteristics of his sisters' na
tures. Once an American unmarried lady
of a certain ago called upon him and
told him she had just had her portrait
painted by one of his rivals. "Monsieur
X lias made mo look a man M. Caba-
nel. Can't you paint it portrait of me
that will look like a man ? " "I can but
try , ' ' was the answer. And ho so suc-
ce'edod in his work that all the other
members of his sister's family caused
their portraits to bo executed by him
in turn , lie painted the portraits of
nearly all the family of Mrs. W. ,1.
Maukay , that of the lady herself as well
those of Mr. Maekay , Miss Eva Mackay
( tin exquisite head replete with the del
icacy and sweetness of extreme youth ) ,
and a noble half-length of Mrs. Colonel
Iluugerford , Mrs. Mackay's mother. A
characteristic anecdote was told of the
painter was told while Mr. Mackay was
sitting for his portrait. Ilo was met
one day by one of his colleagues who
greeted him with the remark : " 1 hear
that you are painting the portrait of
the
AMKKIUAN IION'AN/.A KIN'O.
I congratulate you , my dear follow. Of
course , you will make a big amount out
of that order. " "And how so ? " re
sponded Cabanel , turning sharply upon
the questioner. "Is my work worth
more to Mr. Mackay than it is to anyone
ono else merely because lie is very
wealthy ? I shall charge him my in
variable price for a portrait of the di
mensions ho has chosen no more. " As
almost invariably happened , his bitters
became his firm personal friends , and
ho was always a warmly welcomed guest
at Mrs. Mackay's Parisian ontertain-
monls. His wedding gift to Miss
Mackay , on the occasson of her mar
riage to Prince Ferdinand Colonnawas
a line portrait of Dr. Bryant ( Mrs.
Mackay's first husband ) , painted from a
photograph. Ono of the last portraits
that ho finished was of Mrs. Koynolds ,
of Indiana , and ho was to have painted ,
during the coining spring , ono of
Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer , a com
mission towards the execution
of which ho looked forward
with very great pleasure , for the lady
had visited his studio a year ago and ho
had then been much struck with her
beauty. But that fair norlrait , like so
many other nrojcctcd masterpieces , was
destined only to enrich the collection pf
Uawthorne's shadowy "Virtuoso , " in
whoso gallery hang the pictures that
never wore painted , and whoso library
comprises the books that never wore
written.
Like Schiller's "Mary Stuart , " Caba-
nol would have wild of himself in his
last hour , "I have been so well loved. "
Everybody loved him tlio sitters that
ho immortalized , the pupils that ho
trained in the highest principles of art ,
tlio follow artists whoso susceptibilities
were never wounded by that gentle.gen
erous nature , flo goes to his grave sur
rounded by all tenderness and oil affec
tionsave the ono element that alone was
wanting to that otherwise love-crowned
life , that of conjugal devotionfor Cuba-
no ! was never married. And he has
loft us in the full plenitude of his fame ,
witli the glorious Hummer of hisgoniuFi
unshadowed by u single autumnal hour ,
lie bus been spared tlio keenest pang
that fate could have Inllit'tcd on one so
passionately devoted to his art , namely.
Hint of outliving his powers of execu
tions Death has taken the punuil from
a hand aa yetunfaltering.nnd has veiled
the palette ere yet the oyns that dwelt
so fondly on its colors had grown dim.
Up to tlio last hour of big life Cubanol
remained the great artist and incom
parable professor. Therefore can wo ,
who know and loved and appreciated
him , trnlv say , "With him it is , with us
it is not woll. "
J. T. Fletcher , of Jenkins Bridge , was

during the past week. Money is abundant
nl all llnanrlnl centers , ami is seeking Invest-
mcnts in nit directions at low interest. The
heaviness In the market for Iho "granger"
railroad stocks has caused Iho bankers to ba
a little shy In making loans on thorn , but
good bonds nro readily accepted as collator
ills. The local market has been more active ,
nnd the grain carriers , packers nnd lumber
men made moderate inquiries for loans. The
inert-hauls and mnnttfui-liirers alsn asked for
liberal favors , their requests In
most Instance * being more numerous ,
ns they wish to meet maturing blll ,
and also prepare for the spring and mimmor
trade. The bankers in thu sections whore
grain nnd live stock Is moving freely nre re-
dueing their balances here. But those In
other sections where there is little produce
to move nre sending increased amounts hero
for Investment in commercial paper , the of
ferings of widen have increased. Interest
rates remained steady at r > ( trt per emit on
call , Iho bulk of this class of loans being at
5' < j ( . < it ! per i-ent. Time loans wore imido at
0ni7 ( per cent , collections fair. Kvchnngo on
New Vork was slow niul weaker. The sales
ranged from 12'.ji- premium to 25o discount
per f 1,000 , closing at 12 OW'discount. For
eign exchange , owing to the light supply of
bills offered , was quiet , but steady nl JI.BIKJ ?

The jobbing trade has become more active
in nearly all line.s , especially in dry goods
groceries nnd hardware , but purchases are
being made with a degree of conservatism
which shows that the country merchants are
keeping their stocks well adjusted to the re
cent requirements of their trade , The prices
on nil leading articles remain steady. The
week in stock and bond cirelus was ono ot
marked activity and Irregularity In prices.
The chief feature in the stock market was
the heavy liquidation in Chicago , Burlington
it ( julnny and Illinois Central. The former
was sold ohiellv by the Boston holders , who
became discouraged at thu poor showing
made by that road , nnd the adverse prospects
under which it will bo foroeActo work
in Iowa and the west , owlntr to the
notion of the various stale railroad
commissioners in rciim-ing rales lo a mini
mum. Humors were also ulleat that It would
pass its dividend. Tins tended to hicronso
the selling und prices , which for nine yours
have been considerably abovu par , fell 7J
points nnd sold ut Ji'J. ' The directors , how
ever , declared u quarterly dividend of 1 per
cent and although thu impression prevailed
that the dividend was not earned , it caused
a. rally of 3 ! points froin the itisido figures.
The original stockholders of the rona have
regarded it as inviuelble.thoy having secured
3-TO per cent on their original investment.
Now , however , they are rather shaky re
garding its future. Illinois Central , which
has not been traded In to any extent for
yeurs , came to tbo front and was sold freely
by London operators , and prices declined O&f
points. All other "granger" stocks
were autivo weaker and lower
early in the week , but rallied
sharply before the close. Pullman advanced
4 % , but the decision of its directors to issue
$5,000,01)0 ) new stock , part of which is to pay
for the recently acquired property , induced
free selling and n subaequout break nf 7Jf ,
whleh was followed by a rally of 3 points.
"Fancies , " which have attracted some atten
tion for several weeks , were active and con-
orally higher , particulary the "Big Four"
nnd Cleveland. Columbus , Cincinnati & In
dianapolis , and good advances were recorded.
Gas trusts were active and upprcclated 3
points. Canada Southern gained 2 points.
The rest of the list were yonornlly stronger
und recorded fair gains. Bonds met a good
cull and were held llrm , as choice are becom
ing scarce. The aggregate transactions on
the Now York stock exchange for the week
were 1,723,000 shares.
In n speculative way the produce markets
exhibited considerable Hpeeulatlvo uctivity ,
though the feeling was nervous and un
settled , and prices fluctuated more than
usual. The interest centered largely in
wheat , where thu longs and shorts worked
Industriously for the control of the situation ,
with victory somewhat in favor of the for
mer. In the ether markets there was about
thu usual volume of business , with the bear
interest rather fortunate in their transac
tions. The stocks of grain are gradually
diminishing , excepting corn , while tha
supply of provisions is accumulating very
slowly. The colder weather has improved
the inlerior roads , und the farmers hnvo
hauled more produce to thu stations , and
also sent forward larger quantities of live i
stock. The export movement of grain con
tinues moderate , excepting of corn , while
the exports of provisions were quite liberal.
In most of the markets there has boon con
siderable ) realizing by the longs , and in some
Instances handsome profits were realized , ti" !
and in others they were wearied uud ac
cepted moderate losses. The shorts made
free purclinnus in all the leading markets.
In the shipping branch of trade , there was a
HUlo more life , both In grain and provisions ,
With n good proportion of the pur
chases for distribution to the interior
points , The reports regarding crops show no
Important changes , thu damage so far re
ported being slight. The advices regarding
thu crops in foreign countries nro favorable ,
and the weather rather mild for the season
of the year. The stacks of grain in the for
eign mantels are gradually decreasing , and
art ) considerably less than ut this time last
year. The advices from abroad gave the
holders little encouragement , and there-
perls from the domestic markets indicated
sympathy with the course of the markets
hero. ' 1 ho arrivals of live stock wore liberal
and lower prices were accepted. The pack
ing of the west for the week showed an in-
crdiiso of 50COJ hogs , and tlio decrease tot
ttie season is now nbout 070,000 hogs ,
