STOCKS AND IIONDS.
.Securltlcn for tlio Tlrst Tliiinjn Weeks De
veloped StrniiRtli.
NEW YOIIK , Fob. 28. The stock market for
thu first tlmo In weeks developed today a de
cidedly strong temper and material ad
vances were scored all over the list , only ono
stock amoni ? the shares allowing a net loss for
the day , which amounted to only'i ' per cent.
The easier condition of the exchange market ,
and the practical cessation of Hold export-/
were the underlying cause of this change In
temper , but the Jay was marked by an ab
sence of the late heavy pressure to sell and
rumors of a disquieting nature , which lend to
the Infeienco that the benrs have covered
their shorts. Less was heard of Koadlnj ? than
on any day for the last two wcoks , but the
stock was Hllll the most active In the market
and the transactions were largo enough for
any of the lute days of excitement.
The news that the payments of wages had
been resumed and the utterances of Judge
Paxson to the elfect that all obligations would
be met , stimulated the demand from
the shorts and the buying for Unit
side of the account was entirely respon
sible for the prominence of the stock In the
market. H rallied above 27 , after selling
down to 25 , but closed at 2G' . ( , with a net gain
of I'll ' per cent. The next most uromlnent
point In the list was Sugar Uollnerles , which
after selling at 120 was lifted to 124 without
excitement of any kind , the upward move
ment being steady throughout the day.
The stimulating cause for the late rise was
found In the dexelopment of the fact that Mr.
HaNomcycr had assured a stockholder that
while there would be mi extra dividend de-
claied , the common slock would be tint upon a
12 percent basis. It closed only Jfe lower than
Its best price , with a net gain of 3' per cent
for the day. Dlstlllets and Cattlefeedlng nnd
Cordage weio the weak spots of the early deal
ings , and thu llrst named declined : ) ! { to
32 , the lowest price touched , but later n 10-
covery occuried and It closed at but a small
fractional advance. Cordage puisucd the

The general cattle maiket was steady.
Offerings wore very light , In fact the lightest
so far this year , and taken as a whole the
quality was good. Dressed beef houses were
he bestbuvers , but speculative shippers took
i few of the best heavy cattle. Good to cholco
1,200 to 1,400-lb. steers Mild at from $1.05 up
o $5.10 , with fair to good 1.000 to 1,200-lb.
steers at from $4.20 to 41.00. Pair to poor
stutr sold fully as well as yesteidayat fro a
' 4.05 down to $3.75. It was a good , active ,
icalthy trade , and an early clearance was
ell'ected.
llutchers' stock generallv told a trlflo firmer
.ban yesterday , but theto was nut much , If
my , difference in the common and canning
grades. Poor to prime cows and heifers .sold
ill the way from $2 tp$4.10 , with the bulk of
he fair to good /t\II'around ( \ $2.50 to $3.25.
Oll'eilngs of bulls , and stags were rather
neager , and with a Hood demand they changed
muds freely at steady.to strong prices from
12.00 to J3.75. Thu. few calves hero sold
readily at llrm prices , jcommon largo to fat
veal calves selling al from $2.10 to $0.
There was very llltltl doing In the stocker
ind feeder line. Very few fiesh cattle were
m sale , and with no canning demand to spaa c
) f tiado was slack. Prices , however , were
Irmly held and the feeling Is confident. Kop-

Hens Receipts today were the lightest for
a Tuesday In over a year and the lightest for
any day of the week since Christmas. The
quality of the olTorlngs was pretty good. The
market was lOc to 20u higher than Monday
and actlvo at the advance. Packers did not
buy at all'as there were not enough hogs hero
altogether to make n fair half-day's killing
for one house. Speculators were mostly sellers
and the only buyers wore eastern shippers and
one fresh meat house , They took tlio common
light mixed to prime heavy hogs at fiom $7.05
to $7.85 , with fair to good stun selling at the
intermediate ptlces. The maikot rather eased
elf toward the dose and two or three loads
were left In llrst hands. Sales were largely at
from $7.70 to $7.80 , as against $7.50 to $7.00
Monday and $7.85 to $7.95 , i wcok ago. Repre

Anthracite Coal "Denier * Will Maintain
Thorn Ht the I'renent Figure * .
NEW YOUK , Feb. S3. Anthracite sales
igcnts met today and decided not to reduce
prices.
A representative of 0110 of the companies
[ n the combination after the meeting s ld :
"Heretofore we have determined the average
price for the year in advance. Then xvo have
made the spring reduction to induce largo
holders to buy and store , thus being enabled
to keep the mines at work all the year round.
On this plan March prices were the lowest
and at the beginning of each succeeding
month n slight raise was made until , in
the fall , an average was reached and
passed. But this is too antiquat
ed. The eastern buyers have laid iu
largo stores for the following winter. I
think the price will bo held where it is
throughout the summer. There will cer
tainly bo no tnoro reduction for March.
When the waterways are opened there may
bo n slight decrease , but I doubt it. "
Ho added that the monthly meetings
would probably bo for the purpose only of
estimating the output per month. This
is precisely what the , sales v agents
were doing today. They will leave
the pnco where it is , and , as it ap
pears , on the present price as a basis , they
are aiming to regulate the production ut the
mines.
Representatives of outside companies said
this was the policy to bo tried. They bo-
llovcd the pressure would bo too great when
the rivers made cheap transportation an cle
ment in the situation , but for nil that could
bo learned those companies not represented
in the conferring combination had no inten
tion of opposing this plan.

The Board of Trade has asked for the

that Mr. Nason's legislative duties rob the
board of his services.
A now secretary will not bo chosen for the
present. If a freight bureau is organized
its managing ofilcer may also bo chosen secretary -
rotary of the board.
The assistant secretary has been In
structed to notify members that ate delin

Tillotson. cashier of the Kearney National
bank , and C. P. Shut1 , a Kearney stockman ,
are in the city on business. They report
business good at Koarney. The farmers are
prosperous and tlio business men generally
are enjoying a good trade. In the whole
city there are not more than a do/en duell
ings nor more than ono or two business
houses vacant.
The factories are running at their full
capacity and have orders enough ahead to
keep them busy for several mouths. 1'ho de
mand for labor Ih brisk. The cotton factory
alone gives employment to H , " > 0 persons. For
the manufactured products of the factories
there is a good demand. ' Especially Is this
true of cjttou goods , several carload ship
ments having been made recently to St.
Louis. 'I'ho coming year , they believe , will
prove ' , o bo the most prosperous yet knoun
in the history of Kearney.
