il ] CillCAno , 111. . 1'ob. -While there wns not
much animation In the who.it market today
the general feeling was ono of utranittli , The
early cables to the board from Liverpool
quoted that marmot higher , but private dis
patches said that It wns weak. There wns ,
however , rather a Rood locnl bnylns , nnd
offerings were moro generous than yesterday.
Oncrliiis were very roadlly absornod , nnd the
feeling for n time wasqultostromt and higher
prices ruled. Some of the bull news which
o.imo In yesterday Roomed to bo havlnit moro
effect than It did then. Kiocclally was this
thocnso with llodrbolim's statement , that the
wheat nnd Hour shipments to Kuropo for the
past cloven weeks were nearly 117.0JOOOU bit. ,
the lowest estimate requirements forthosaino
time. This led to the rollectlon thnt It
would not tnko lon nt thnt rate to exhaust
all the surplus nnd bring Kurope Into the mnr-
kctnsnn nctlvo buyer. In addition to this
wns the summary of crop conditions nbrond
sciituuthy high Knpllsb authority showlns
that n poor outlook wns the rule , with favora
ble reports the exception. There wns the re
ported nctlvo Inquiry for ci.sh whnat , tlio
Blciuly decroasn In the visible supplj. the
inodcrato receipts at primary points and the
reports of nconiing cold wave.
All of these combined to make the market
rnlhor nervous , and shorts _ worc ccncrally
disposed to cover , liognn , Ivonnett-llopklns
and Mllmlno-ltndman houtthi POIIIO wheat
early , but on the hard spots Schwartz-Dupeo
nnd I'ardrldRo had plenty for sale. At onetime
time theto wns n considerable hitliru when
private cables quoted I'arls Ire hlKlier , with
llcrlln also advancing. It wns also
helped some by n dlsp.itch from Washing
ton savins that the senate committee won d
probably report ngalnsl thu anti-option bill.
Later , however , trade became dull. Cables
were less usanrliigand the soiling moro liberal
nnd prices foil oil Ic from the top Hgnre .
In the afternoon , however , the market
strengthened materially but this was met by
heavy solllni ; and the price dropped again.
There was Homo talk about Franco extending
the period of reduced duty on wheat because
of thu unfavorable outlook of the crop and
this had H streimthcnlm : cITeet during a pirt :
of the session. While I'ardrldgosold ' freely
on the rally ho covered his I lies on the
breaks. May wheat aliened unchanged nllKlc.
advanced to OIUc. reacted to D'Jic ? , ndvnnced
tolWic. broke to IHJfc. rallied toWlc , dropped
toft.ic ? nnd closed steady attCJJu.
Corn was stronger and more active In the
early trading , ' ono horse taking ' . ' 50,000 bu.
The strength was duo to poor grading.'inac
tive shipping demand , llrm cables , damp
weather , lending to lower the grading nnd re
ports that foreigners wore buying freely at
thuBoahonrd. These things led to covering
by shorts and nn advance. This was met by
free realizing salcf , nnd wheat turning woak.
there was a reaction. May opened ' . * < higher
at 4'c , advanced to 41JiC ! , then broke to nnd
closed stondy at J'J.'ic. '
Oats were dull nnd without feature , closing
with n loss of } > c. The receipts of hogs wore
lighter than had ocen estimated , with prices
lOc up. TliU , together with the early strength
In grain , caused pork to open hltiher , bul
liner when grain weakened nnd n further de
cline in cotton was reported , showing dimin
ished hog products from the south , the price
broke and the miirkot closed lower. May pork

pletion of a single largo order placed last

H Is usoiers , howcvor. to spo-ik conlldoiitly on
this point. The Interestn fact on the sliu.i-
tlon is lliatthe do incllon in exchange , ac-
cordtui ? to conservative hauliers , was due
largely to the purchases of Anieilcaii
securities by London in thn last few
days. That these purchases have
about balanced current Miles for the
same account will not readily be believed and
the later movement of thu sterling exchange
Indicate. ) thu contrary. Yet the turn must
come sono time. London liquidation In.
Americana ctinnot go on forever. Per taps a
crumb of comfort may be derived from thu
fact that foreigners have shown a disposition
to sell chlolly on exaggerated advances on
prices and hence they suspend their unload
ing when the market reaches u normal level.

OMAHA. Feb. 'J4. To the EJuor of THE
lint : : The nrticlo in your paper today
entitled , "A Brutal Father , " is altogether a
malicious por.socutlon by Irresponsible par
ties , one of whom was living in a noujo of
mine and the oilier part ; routed the flat
above the store , and I Had trouble with each
one tlio one I refused further credit , the
other 1 demanded an increase of rent from ,
although tlio promises they occupied wore
worth fur moro than I usltoJ. It is merely u
way of injuring mo. If 1 created a dis
turbance of the peace , as tboy ullceo , by
lightly correcting my own i.-hild , wny do
tnoy wait over two months bclqru they make
any accusation i The report in Tnc BKII
states stiovorns too Hard In the house. The
World-Herald has it she docs manual labor
in tno store. I wish to sot myself In the
proper lijjht before the public , and the Ctrl
can tell her own story. 1 have u boy that
works for me at anything and everything
anil wants mo to cot liltn a hor.se nnd wagon
lo got a little more work. Why am I not
ireuliuc him inhumanly )
Wo have a coed homo and we are not Incit
ing for Hie comforts of life. I am responsi
ble and my accusers are not. It is all spite ,
with the idea that they can injure mo. Cer
tainly wo nil hava to worlc. Some of the
kicking women wanted to hire mv daughter.
They were angry at not oDtainiug her ser
vices. JOHN Hc.Mi'i.u.MAN ,

As a companion piece the chinf of police

umbus , who savs ho is lli.vtnrs of ago , and
volunteers his testimony to show tbttt Mr.

treatment of bis children bo over saw.
Another Artist Wanted.
Thomas Hunt , for whom the Omaha
police uru diligently searching , is a very in
teresting : individual to banks and bankers.
lie is wanted in Cincinnati and other cities
for a series of Iho cleverest forgeries known
to the police.
Hunt is about M .years of ago , with the ap
pearance of an interesting invalid , has a
gray and sandy mixed beard and hair , has u
sallow complexion and Is about 11 vo feet
eight tnchos In uoieht. His ino.tus operand !
is to purchase a draft for a small amount ,
requesting the cashier to identify his sig
nature on the back. Ho then fills the
punched holes with -pu.il' so cleverly that
only ivltli the nld nf a microscope can the
chaiiKO 03 detected. With a suitable
nppar.itiH the draft may then bo punchoJ to
any amount desired ,
I'oiiKlit for tint Kindllntr.

station a detachment of four at noon yester
day. They were Mr. nnd Mrs. llolstcln , whoso
place of business is on Fllteontn street , be
tween Furnum and Hurnoy , A. Logan and

The diniculty was ill over a bundle of
kindling wood , and before It wns settled Mrs.
Holsteln hud her scalp laid open , and the
other * wero. variously uattcrcd und bruised.

NEW YORK CITY , Dec. 20 , 1890.
" For the last twenty years I have been
using ALLCOCK.'S POROUS PLASTEKS. They have
repeatedly cured me of rheumatic pains , and pains
in my side and back , and , whenever I have a colcl ,
one on my chest and one on my back speedily
relieve me. My family are never without them. "

Beware of imitations , and do not be deceived by
misrepresentation. Ask for ALLCOCK'S , and let no
