The financial situation la reported as very
satisfactory by bankers , who say tlmt there
s nn increased d cm mid for funds by jobbers
.0 bo used In the settlement of bills for sprint ;
mrcliascs maturing about this time , and that
deposits nro good , and funds nro In supply
tully equal to the demand. 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.
During the month of March thirteen

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

month of last year.
' Winter wheat continues looking re
markably well , " says Crop Expert Prime ,
"and thcro arc only a few reports of it hav
ing beun winter killed. In Tennessee and
Kentucky the wheat is making rapid growth ,
the weather being warmer and the ground
containing plenty of moisture. Kansas and
Missouri report similar conditions , but in
thu winter wheat holt wo Hnd a decrease la
moisture , and Minnesota and Dakota have
actually none. California shows uniformly
warm , clear , growing weather. "
In its April report the department of agri
culture remarks that the "mild weather has
been favorable to farm animals , which are
generally in high condition. The general
nverago for horses Is 03.4 ; cattle , W1.9 , shcop ,
H7.4 ; swlno , 95.0. Losses from disease and
nil other causes during the last year have
also.been much less than usual. "
The department of agriculiuro issues the
following crop report lor April : "Tho gen
eral average condition of winter wheat is 04 ,
against an average of 8'J last April. The
present condition by principal states is : Now

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 ,

CIUCAOO , April 13. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEB.I The market oponotl flrm at
about yesterday's closing prices nud July ad
vanced about > jc , fluctuated back nnd forth
between 81 * < fc nnd 82J.fc , nnd finally satis
fied its early inclination by closing nt S2 @
S2c , which is about a X < 5 improvement on
yesterday's resting price. 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

dull and lower , but Ueorbohm gave futures
ai steady there , and quoted the Paris nmrkot

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

Oats attracted moro attention than yester
day. Trade was fairly active , which , with

FINANCIAL.
NEW YOUK , April 13. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE. | STOCKS There were no de
cisive features to the market to-day. The
bears profess belief that the short interest is
largely covered , and that they now have
even chances with the bulls for the future ,
The bulls point to the fact that there has
been considerable unloading as well aacover
ing , and tn at with the financial conditions
moro favorable , and with Gould and other
leaders on the buying side , there will surely
result a strong market in a few stocks at
least , and an upward movement in the list.
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. The total sales were 180,778 shares.

DOGS OF WAR INDEED.
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.

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. _
