The clearings lirouRh the Omaha clearing house for the week ending Saturday , April 18 , were $ -1,053,773 , against. ? J,8 3,3ro for the same weak of 1888 an Increase of $1,103,40 : ! , or about 40 ] > or cent which is certainly very comfortable. The clearings of the Omaha jatilts associated In the clearing house do not fully Indicate the volume of business trans acted hero , for the reason that the largest moiety of the transactions arising from the operations of the packing houses nt South Omnhn are not Included in the clearings mndo by the Omahn clearing house , otherwise the clearings footing for Omaha would bo in creased nt this season about $700,000 per week. Jobbers In all litict report a material in crease in sales this week over lust anil nro becoming very well content with the out- logic. Interviews with some twenty of the leading houses uovolopo thnt sales to data this month nro far in excess of same period last year nnd the very cheerful feeling pre vailing Is In contrast with the distrust felt nt the llrst of the season ns to the outcome of the spring trade. Most houses say business is 15 to " 0 per cent bettor than u .year since , nnd in some lines sales this month are CO per cent better. The crop prospects nro exceedingly fnvorn- blo : country roads arc in good condition mil all the signs tend to n continuance- the Im provement in trndo noted. Prices continue steady In lines not controlled by "trusts. " Sugars nro strong at the recent advance of k < < 6c per pound. Cattle , hogs and sheep arc fetching fair prices , and the farmers have every reason to bo satisfied with their lot ; nnd to sum up good merchants sco many reasons to bo satisfied with the business and ilnunoiiiloutlook in Nebraska , and have but 11 ttio fault to fliul , though , if collections were to improve , there would bo no cause nt all for grumbling. However , when the spring work" of the agriculturist is finished and the farmer lliuls time to settle his store bill , traders will doubtless bo enabled to squuro matters m this direction. City trudo has been very good this week and"no complains nro heard from nny source. Dry goods , millinery nnd clothing dealers report increased sales preparatory for Easter. Heal estate shows a healthy ac tivity nml the largo disbursements contem plated by builders of houses and contractors for street railways and other public and pri vate works give ample assurance of a frco circulation of money in local channels In the ensuing months of the spring and summer and assure the usual prosperity attendant upon the efforts of Omaha's people.

An interview between a Nevada senator and Secretary \Vindom on the silver question has developed thrcointcrcstingpoints : First , the silver problem has not been considered by the cabinet : second , it is not likely to bo considered in a hurry ; and third , Secretary Windom indicated that ho was opposed to any increase in coinage , as demanded by Senator Stewart , so long has ho has million * ot useless standard dollars stored away. The Now York Commercial Bulletin states that the lira loss of the United States and Canada for the month of March reached a total of $10,912,000.

A curious story is related from Mad rid in explanation of the misfortunes which have lately afllicted the royal house of Spain. It appears that the root of the mischief is a fatal ring of quite mcdiieval deadlines. The late Kinff Alphouso XII. gave it to his cousin , Mercedes , when ho was betrothed to her , and she were it during the whole of her short married life. On her death the King presented it to his grandmother , the Queen Christina. Sno died very soon alter , when it passed to the King's sister the Infanta del Pilar , who at once began to sicken and in a few days breathed her last. Alphonso then handed it to his sister-in-law , Christina , the youngest daughter of the Duke of Montpensicr , but'in three months she was also dead. His Majesty now re solved to retain the baleful jewel in his own keeping , but ho too , soon fell a vic tim to its mysteriously malignancy. By order of his widow it has now been sus pended by u chain around the neck of the statue of the Maid of Ahnudona , the patron saint of Madrid. "A Wilmington ( Del. ) lady who buried her 4-months-old child there recently , tolls the two following dreams : A short time before the birth ofttho child she and some friends wcro out looking at the sky , .vhon she saw u white thing in the air fly around like a charmed bird that could not got away from its charmer. It gradually came downward until she made it out in the shape of a white doveIt came on down gradually , making its graceful rounds shorter and shorter until it flut tered to her face and lit upon her shoulder. She than awoke and found it was but a dream , but in a few days afterward her child was born. About a wcolc ago she had another dream , but this time the snowy white dove took its departure from her shoulder , and , flut tering around and around , it ascended hiirhor and higher into the azure blue until it wns lost to sight. On IMday morning following her child died. " A singular case of Busponded anima tion , of which Miss I3ollo Me Arthur is the unhappy victim , in at present puz zling the physicians of Bridgeport , Conn. , and is a source of great agony to Miss MoArthur , who is only twenty years old , and , with ono exception en joys excellent health. Said the un happy sufferer : ' Those horrible attacks como on mo without the slightest warning and I sud denly lose control of all physicial power. My parents state that to all appearan- cqs I am as dead as a stone and lifo is < detected only by holding a mirror to my lips to catch the moisture that comes from respiration. But I assure you that I am not insensible of ray existence ; on the contrary I possess the moat acute knowledge of all thnt is going on around mo , but am totally unable to express - press myself either by look , action or word. " Miss McArthur is a native of Hawloy- ville , a small town a few miles north of Bridgeport , and during the past twenty years eleven residents of this little town have become victims of the same malady. , There are a few who believe that the spirit of Naomi Cook , an old hug , who died over eighty years ago in Hawloy- vllle , declaring herself a sorooress , is accountable for the visits of this strange malady. Although not ono of tbo victims have died while in a state of catalesny , Mies McArthur states that she would much rather die than continue to bo a vic tim of thqso horrible attacks which in- creusa in length "and pain as they occur , THE SPECULATE MARKETS , t - M There Is No Mfltoal Change In Whorit.

Mny was very tender to touch , nnd shrank timidly in the opposite direction to the ono wanted. It was not much asked for , however , but merely showed some signs of flro when the embers were slightly stirred. It closed nt the sauio price as on Friday. The weather has become - como the ruling factor in wheat stnco the speculative interest was transferred from Mny to July. The rains which were reported yesterday ns being so general throughout the northwest were said to day to have origi nated in the minds of speculators for lower prices. Some commission houses hud reports that no rain had fallen north of St , Paul , while thcro were other dispatches Ilntly con tradicting the former. The signal service reports rain as far north ns Huron , Dak. , where an inch fell yesterday. There wcro rumors of export business in Now Yont , which , however , lacked confirmation , and in the end were denied. It is known , never theless , that Now York is near a working bnsis , and thcro are several orders on that market which would bo executed nt about Ic decline. Ttio Liverpool market was reported dull and lower , but Ueorbohm gave futures ai steady there , and quoted the Paris nmrkot llrmcr for both wheat , nnd flour , nnd 3d higher. The export clearances for the week from four Atlantic ports show n ilecrcaso compared with the week before of about 17.700 bushels of wheat , nnd 194,500 , packages of flour. The corn market appeared to require heavy pounding to keep it down , and the fact of the charters having been made to-day to tnko 100,000 bushels to Buffalo becoming known near the close , caused it to bob up buoyantly nnd close flrm. Trading was light after the flrst hour , and of a scalping character. The prices at the close show a decline of about } ( o under the closing llgures on Friday. .

At the opening to-day the prices were irregular - lar , some better , some lower , but ut small fractions from last night. In a few stocks , such as Burlington , Northwestern , Reading and Lake Shore , there was n slight upward tendency during the morning. London bought stocks. There was buying on the prospects of a good bank statement. When the bank figures were known the statement was ns favorable as expected , but the longs took it as an occasion to soil on , and this re sulted in a general decline to about the closln a figures of Friday. Atchison was active , sell ing off 1 poiut early , reacting Itf and again going off 1 point , closing with 1 per cent net loss. Heading closed with u % per cent net gain.

Some of IhollHCB to Which Onr Canine FrlcmiH Are Uelnv Trained. Votcrnary Surgeon Bennett , in his lecture nt the United Se-rvico institute , says the Pall Mull Budget , told the in teresting and strange story of the war dog from Roman days down ward. Com- incr to Christian times wo are reminded of the war doff used by the Spaniards in America ; by the carl of Essex in Ire land during the rebellion ; by the En glish in the defense of TancriorB , when dogs saved the guards from a great ambush , of Moors ; of the famous French dog , Moustache , whd detected a surprise the flrst night before Alexandria , who fought at Marongo , saved the standard of his regiment before Austcrlitz. and was decorated on the battle-field. Then the lecturer recalled how after the fa mous campaign of Gen. Skoboioff in Asia Minor , the Russians dcr.idcd to in struct dogs as sentries , and how finally the Germans took up the question in 1885 and developed it till to-day a dog can carry back a message from outposts moro quickly than the best mounted uhlan. There are at least five distinct purposes for which trained dogs can bo used in war : 1. As auxiliary sentinels to the outposts and sentries and to the advance , rear , and flank guards In general. 2. As scouts , on the march , on reconnais sance , and patrol dutins. 3. As dispatch bearers , on the march , in camp , in action , etc. 4. As auxiliary ammunition carriers on the march and in action. As searcher for the wounded and killed after an engagement. Coming to the best kinds of dogs for training , the lecturer had a good word , of course , to say for the shcpard dog , the retriever , and the spaniel , and for the bloodhound as the dog par excel lence for tracking , for following up the enemy into mountains , through jungles and forests , and for running down da- kolta and other marauders. And since the bloodhound's scent is so acute he would require neither to BOO nor'hoar to give warning of the approach of the foe at night or in thick covert. In a discussion among some exports and dis tinguished and "doggy" general olllcora following the lecture itvas pointed out that the bloodhound , in sentry work oren on night marches , could give warning by his nose alone of the approach of strange bodies at a distance of about three hundred yards , under favorable conditions of wind , and that the blood hound's steadfastness by night and day in following up human scent is such that , although crossed by deer and other game , ho does not leave the lead- scent. By way of illustrating the value of the war dog in carrying ammunition during action to the front , a trained ro- trivor was shown girded with his leather saddle-bags capable of carrying eighty rounds of the new rifle catriago. Altogether the war dog appeared to find considerable favor among the audi ence gathered at Whitehall place , and the general opinion seemed to prevail that , if ho IB over lucky enough to find olllcial recognition at the war ofllce , ho is destined to play a useful part in the gaino of our little warn.

WEEKLY BUSINESS [ REVIEW , Bankers Report n Good Demand for Tholr Surplus. FUNDS IN ABUNDANT SUPPLY. Ornln Operators Arn Not Calling fur Much Money Interest Kntcn ncmnlnlStcmly Activity In the Lending Mnrkotn. CIUCAOO , April 18. [ Special Telegram to Titn UBE.I U.inkers nro having a good mis cellaneous demand for about nil tholr availa ble surplus , nnd In some Instances their dis count lines are well taken up , but a majority still have aim ml an co of funds for all legiti mate purposes. Hankers who tnnko a spe cialty of loaning money to grain opcrator here nro not pressed urgently for funds , but those who do a largo business with grain carriers in the northwest reported moro Inquiry from that source than for some time past. The opening of navigation will nnablo those who have been holding grain hero and at other lake shipping points to forward it eastward nnd realize on tholr property nnd thus put moro money in circulation in the west. Interest rates remain steady nt D ( 5Jtf per cent lor the innjority of call loans , with occasional loans nt 4i ( 4J per cent. Time loans range at 07 per cent and nome times at 8 per cent. At the cast the fueling is easier , duo to the liberal distribution of interest and dividends duo on the flrst part of the month , also by the enlarged purchases of bonds by the government. Now York ex change was llrmer and met an Increased do main ! early in the week , nnd prices were nd- vnnccd to 25c premium , but later hccamo easier , nnd closed nt 12 } @ 25c discount per $1,000. The supply of foreign bills , although larger , was readily taken , nnd a firmer feel- hie prevailed , sales of shippers documentary bills on London being ut4.Sf > K4.Ss0.f. Business with the jobbing houses contin ues brisK , orders for all descriptions coming In moro freely , nnd sales reached n liberal aggregate. Prices remained without.im portant change. . Pig iron received moro attention nt current prices , but any advance may cause n decrcasa in the sales. The Now York stock market , while oxhlb- Ing moro activity , was unsettled. The openIng - Ing was characteri7ud by strength and n small advance In prices , and this was fol lowed by weakness and depression. The poor showing made by the banks was used by the bears to force prices down. They made a strong attack on Atchison , and It de clined about ! ) points. Uurllngton , Missouri Pacific and New England wcr9 singled out nnd raided quite frequently with satisfactory results. Many longs were forced to realize. While these stocks were weak ami declining St. Paul held up stubbornly dcspito the free selling of the other stocks. After the selling furor ceased , a stronger feeling was developed , money became easier , and the buyers took hold freely nnd the mar ket changed for the better. A sharp rally followed , the closing days being marked by increased trading and moderate advances In prices. The Sugar Trus s , which have re ceived only fair -attention in the past , came to the front nnd with the largo trading ad vanced over thirteen points on the purchase of American refinery at San Francisco by New Yorkers. Southwestern stocks were generally firmer , and the close showed fair advances over the previous week on the un- tire list excepting Atchison , Chicago Gas Trusts , Now England nnd Missouri Pacific. The market is still n professional one and the public have little confidence in it. The for eigners made fair purchases , but arc rather timid. The nt'gregato sales on the Now York stock exchange for the week were 1,001,278 shares. The past week has witnessed considerable activity in the leading markets , both grain nnd provisions , but ttio feeling was con siderably unsettled , and a material reduction in prices was submitted to. The general sur- soundings of trade were favorable to the boar element , and they were Inclined to make as much as possible out of the situation. The outlook for the growing crops was moro favorable , through botli private and ofllcial sources. Gains were roM | > rted in some sec tions where most needed , and farm work is progressing finely in all parts ot the west , the season being at least two to three tvceks in advance of last year. The advice1 ? from abroad indicate that the farming interests wcro in a favorable con dition , crops generally looking well. The markets abroad were less encouraging (6 ( sellers , and the recent decline in prices in this country has not stimulated trade to any great extent. The homo markets have been only moderately active , and the course of prices have sympathized , to a great extent , with the change in prices here. The sup plies of grain at the leading markets have decreased , but not as liberally as reported some weeks ago. The arrivals at the princi pal western markets worn moderately free , but were largely transferred from the small elevators in the interior , and the re ceipts of grain nt the small stations are light , and the farmers nro busy with their spring work. The shipping de mand for grain has been moder ate , and mainly from parties who nro moving round lots by the lake route , A fair Inquiry prevailed for car lots to meet the wants of interior points. The export move ment shows a further falling off in flour and wheat , while corn is being forwarded In liberal quantities. In speculative circles the operators appear to bo evening up their trades in near futures , and extending their lines in the more deferred deliveries. The movement of live stock during the week was quite liberal , especially of cattle and sheep. The supply of hogs was lighter at the prin- ciual western packing points , and the pack ing of the west for the week was about the same as reported for the correspdndlng week In 1SSS. For the season , however , there has been quite an increase In both number and weight. _ Federal AppolntiniMttH , WASIIINOTOX , April 13.
