VM again nuhjecled lo somu severe nltncks
from recoitnlred hear quarters and at Intervals
( irlce.s yielded under the pressure. The move
ments taken altogether were exceedingly
erratic and It was noticeable that wlrllu MIIIIU
shares sold readily , othurs were consumed
slowly.
Kven tlinsajyhlcli at Intervals seemed lo bo
positively weak , closed without material net
losses. The greatest decline for the day In
any of the actlvu stocks was Ilurllngton which
left off ? 4c lower. The general Jlst showed de
clines of anywhere from 1 to 2'i ,
Chicago Clas , Sugar , General Electric , the
grangers. New Vork Central , Canada South
ern and Now Kngland In thu lead. New Ki -
land was unfavorably n tree ted by the
announcement that an attachment for tloo-
iiot ) had been procured against the company
by a New Vork llrm of commercial dealers for
coal supplied the company , and the New Vork
Central was depressed by thu knowledge
about the proposed Increase In the capital
stock of the company to * 100,000.000 to pay
for Now Vork terminals In this city and
llull'alo , for block signals and for oilier pur
poses.
The one stock above all others which dis
played unmistakable strength was I'nlon Pa-
clllc piuferred , which has evidently secured
Inside.support pending action on thu prouosed

with a view to liquidating the limiting debt.

that the anthracite companies weie shading

and Jersey Central all sold at lower IIitures ,
hut Heading held stubbornly firm during thu
afternoon , whun It became plain that theru
was to bu no manlpiilatl in of thu market. Thu
bears became timid and the bulls somewhat
aggressive. In a comparatively short lime
prices moved up li to 3 pur cent , thu latter In
New Kngland. Jersey Central riHi > l' '
pur cent , Migar l' per cent , l.acka-
wanna and Chicago Gas li per cent , Hur-
llngton A : Qulncy l't per cent , and General
Klectrlc and Missouri Paclllc l'i percent. In
the late trading theru was a icactlon of ' to
* 4 per cent from thu best figures. Krlo securi
ties wuru wuak on rumors of a now Issue of

bonds moved up on a story , which wassubse :
quently dedled , thut Mr. Mini Spencer's report
on the company had been accepted as favor
able by Drexcl , Morgan k Co. The supposi
tion was that the latter would at once come
out with u plan of reorganization. The mar
ket closed steady In tone.
Thu Post says : Theio are not yet , In the
local money markets , signs of a let urn to
equilibrium. It latino tliu maximum rate.- !
scored for all loans are In u measure fictitious ,
or almost resprescnt tlio bids of needy bor
rowers with Indlll'erent collateral. This was
shown yesterday afternoon when a consider
able block of money uas ollured at round rates
on the Stock exchange.
Thu continued stringency In the commercial
paper market proves that thu banking com
munity as a whole Is still strained. The out
look Is better chielly because of the return of
funds from near-by cities , where local money
rates have perceptibly eased oil' . Chicago Is
still a holder of New \ork funds and for this
thu situation Is doubtless responsible. Thu
future aiMIon of thu money market therofoio
depends considerably on tliat of foreign mar
kets , meantime the federal treasury continues
to enjoy Its respite.
Gold from the western banks Is not coming
lit as fast us had U-en expected , the gain In
thu reserves being llttlo over * 10O,000 a day.
An easing on" In money rales , willofcuur.se ,
mean Immediate losumptlon of gold exports
and this , In turn , would wlpo out thu treas
ury's gold surplus In a twinkling.

Hecelpts do not tncrcusu us fast as dealers
expected and llie four il'iys supuly is still
something short of lust week , when receipts
were by no means heavy. Durliu thopist
four days there huvo been received 10,125
cattle , 10,092 hogs and 4'J'JG sheep , as against
11,482 cattle , 11,041 ho s and 0,810 shoi-p for
the suiuu period last week.
The supply wus not at ull liberal , and whllo
us u rule there was not much eh uuo In ,
the generul quality of the onVrings , there
was a noticeable scarcity of cattle
weighing upwards of 1,250 Ibs. This
fact , dull markets cast and this
being Thursday , which Is always an
oil" day with shippers , reduced the speculative
demand to the minimum. Local dressed beef
houses , however , were all rather cattle hun
gry , and , thouiipplv was limited , they weru
good active buyers at slightly llrmer prices.
The business of the diy : was fairly brisk , nnd ,
with tin ) exception lYr the arrivals on a be
lated train , thu suplj.wus | ) , practically ourof
llrst hands b"fore nooji.
Theru weie hardly enough cows hero to sup
ply thu local demand , an I tradu was active ,
with thu moro deslrabugrades | selling psrhaps
a shade stronger ttilin Wednesday. 1'alr to
good stun" sold fr"iijy"ilt about steady ptIces.
There was a very Indl.lTorent demand for the
common and Inferior grades , and prices ruled
as low as at any time this .season. Thu same
was true as to rough flock generally. Oll'er-
Ings of this class of stock continue unite lib
eral and prices are fully 23c to 50c lower than
u week or ten days ago. ( iood to choice veal
calves \rere In acttvotlemaiid and strong , but
common large calves were rather dull.
Whllo on nccounrnf the bad weather Ihero
Is very limited ilrmaiul from the country for
feeders regular dealers appear to have good

to Tin ; HKI ; . ] 1'heio was no life In thu cattle
trndo today and prices were no better than
yesterday , though the iccclpts were light for
the day and for thu week. Shippers did not
want many cattle and 1 cul slaughterers were
not ut all hungry. Sates weru slow at from
f 1.5O to J4 lor Inferior to extra cows and bulls ,
at from $2.50 to $ } . 10 for stockers and feeders ,
and al from f3.75 to JU.10 for common to extra
steers. Only a few loads of Texas cuttle ar
rived. They sold at full prices.
There was no symptom of a fuvora hie change
In the hog market until near the close. It was
Hat as on either of the preceding days of the
week. Thu principal Hostou buyer was out of
the deal and theie was no competition among
locul puckers. Prices went to from $7 to $7.3 ( >
for light and to from f7.35 to $7.70 for heavy
grades , which Is a decline from tin * host prices
of Ihu day before of from 15c to 2 c .mil a de
cline from that day's closing prices of Oc.
Most of the hogs sold below $7.50 and a very
considerable part of them below $7.15. The
close was llrmer tliun tin ) opening , but there
was no advance.
The sheep market was from lOc to 15c lowur
and [ I dull. Shippers were Inactive und local
slaughterers did not buy with their usual free
dom. It took n cnolce iirtlcle to bring more
I than ( $5.20 , and there was not much trading at
a ' higher figure. The demand for lambs was
weak also nnd prices weru ditto. They were
quoted at from if 1.50 to $0.25.

ANTI-VICE PETITION.
llav. T. , J. Mncliny Tolls Why Hn Did Not
Sign tint Document.
OMAHA , March 10. To the Kditor of TUB
BEE : To my great surprise I sco by a
morning paper Unit I advisud ftiy parishion
ers of All Saints church not to sign the
anti-vico petition. That is not correct. I
did not sign the petition myself , and when
requested to announce the mooting of the
petitioners at the council chamber , and re
quest the attendance of nry people at said
meeting , I did so in the morning without
any thought of what I was doing , but before
evening service the inconsistency of givii
out. such a notice and making such a request
truck me forcibly , and I honestly told my
evening congregation after making the de
sired announcement that I felt it due to my
imn sense of integrity to say that I had not
signed the petition , and then very briefly
gave my reasons for not iloiug so.
The reasons I gave were in subtanco ns
follows ; Such movements are spasmodic ,
and accomplish llttlo permanent good. They
aimataceompilshlngtoo much. They would
wipe out of existence rvlls which are Inher
ently permanent In thoexistlnif conditions of
society. You must change thu conditions ere
you can remove the evils.
I believe that the present system of con
trolling the gambling houses is the wisest
and best course that can bo followed. To
close them , or attempt to close them , en
tirely would bo to scatter the evil hro-idc'ist
over our city and drive it into places where
it would thrive more luxuriantly than ever.
I believe that our city will comp.ire favor
ably with any eastern city of the same slzo
or larger. I saw muro drunken men on the
streets of Hostou last summer in one week
'than I have seen in Omaha during the past
year The difference between eastern and
western civilisation is that the vices which
in the east are Kept carefully concealed are
in the west more exposed to tlio light of
day
1 believe that our mayor , commissioners
and chief of police are honest in their efforts
to control and suppress the vices aimed at in
this petition , and that their sober judgment
In the management of this crusade against
vice is worth more than the well meant ,
though injudicious , efforts of thosy who
signed the anti-vice jietitian. iliid this poll
tlon been less sweeping in its nature 1 should
have signed it gladly.
These are the reasons I gave at the time ,
as well as 1 can remember them. 1 was
aware then , as now , that my action would
bo criticised , but coming so recently from
prohibition-ridden Iowa , where to * ten vcars
I saw the folly of such sweeping attempts at
correcting vice by legislation , I could not
honestly sign the petition presented to me.
Perhaps I ought lo have kept sllcn ; e , but to

At tlio meetiiij , ' of tlio Omaha Hulldrrs
and Tnulers oxchiingo yesterday Secretary
\V. S. Wciluo tnnilo the followluu report of
the national convention ut St. Louts :
Tjio session was opo'.ied by nil address of
wi-lcomo by the mayor and the rosponsy and
annual address of the president of the con
vention , the latter dealing prlnclpaly wlths
tliu uniform contract , the apprentices and III
trade school questions. The usual commit
tees having been npiMlntcd , the guests were
taken in carriages and shown about tlio city.
Thu second day's session opened with the
report of tlio committee on creden
tials , from which it appeared there
were ninety-seven members In attend
ance ami twenty-four cities tepresciite.l.
The report of the secretary showed a mem
bership of thirty-two exchanges , who hold
property aggregating J.OiKi ( ) ) ( ) ) , and the re
port of the treasurer disclosed receipts lor
the year of $11,1)15. ) : . ! " . and disbursements of
. 'JIi ! . Ill , leaving a balance on hand of
iMK ) . The committee on uniform contract
submitted a form such as was read at our
monthly meeting and recommended that
members refuse to sign any other. The com
mittee on lien law thought it inexpedient at
this time to suggest any general law
relating to liens. A resolution endorsing tile
building of tlio Nicaragua canal was
defeated by a close vote. A vote
of ' thanks was extended to .1.
I'lerrcpont Morgan for his gcnerousjglft to the
New York trade school. The members were
invited to make their headquarters , while
at the World's lair , at the Chicago exchange.
Then followed the reading of the reports of
the secretaries of the various local
' ex-
eh'ingcs , which In the main touched upon the
progress imulo during the year , tht > care
used in admitting members , thu concessions
made by material men nnd the work of trade
schools. 't'ho day's events ended with a
visit , upon invitation of the local exchange ,
to the theater.
The morning session of the third day
was devoted , without results , to a discussion
of the code of practice recommended by the
association for archl'ects and builders , and
the afternoon session to amendments to the
constitution , which related principally to
olllcers and dues. A resolution that the na
tional secretary he notified of local disagree
ments and that lie in turn instruct all local
exchanges not to furnish estimates ni'tll the
local body had reported an adjustment of the
disagreement was laid on the table. The
consideration of 'i resolution to admit Cana
dian exchanges was postponed. Local ex
changes were instructed topnut'JOO copies of
their secretaries' reports and transmit them
to tlio national secretary , sixty da\s pri'ir to
the annual convention. The convention then
voted lo hold Its next annual meetiii' ; In
Uoston In February 1MU , and elected the
following olllcers for the ensuing year :
President , Ira ( ! . Hersev of Hoston : llrst
vice president , Hu.irh Hisson of Baltimore ;
second vice president , Charles A. Hupp of
ButTalo ; secretary , W. H. Sit v ward of Bos
ton : treasurer , George Tapper of Chicago.
The Invitation to hold the mid
year meeting in this city ex
tended to the National association by
the Omaha Builders and.Trndurs association
was duly presented by Secretary \Vodgc ,
and fully discussed ; but upon full considera
tion of the matter it was decided not to hold
a .midyear meeting. Should ono bo held ,
however , Omaha's chances of securing It
are good.
At the close of the proceedings the St.
Louis exchange gave an elaborate banquet ,
at which addresses were made by the governor - _
ernor of the state , the mayor of St. Louis
ami other distinguished persons. Air.Vedgo
speaks in Haltering terms of the manner in
which St. Louis entertained the delegates.

JUDGE DOANE , DISTRIBUTOR.
Democratic AHphlriintH ( or Pu < tnHlcps Now
Know Whom to Mother.
Judge George W. Doane of Om.iha lias
been tlio busiest man in Nebraska for sov-
days. It is not on account of the extraordl-
nary pressure of legal matters , however ,
that lias causcu this rush of judicial talent.
It all happens through an innocent , llttlo
tclcirram that emanated from Washington
the other day to the effect that Postmaster
General Bissell had decided to appoint all
the democratic candidates for congress who
an List fall and wjrj defoito.i as members
of his advisory committee In the work of
distributing the patronage.
In less than live hours after this news had
reached Omaha hungry oflico seekers began
to call upon .ludge Doane. They catno In
platoons , in brigades and hi regiments.
They came from the rural districts , from
ovcry point throughout the district where
there is or will bo a postolllco.
Speaking yesterday of the matter , Judge
Doano said : "I have received nothing onlcial
to confirm the report which was printed In

Speaklne of the Omaha iMvUoftleo the
jtidgo said that ho understood that there
were several candidates in the Held , hut
owing to the fact that Postmaster Clarksnn's
term will not expire for over a year yet they
are not milking , an aggressive move in that
direction us yet. "When the time comes I
supiHiso there will bo n number of candidates

in this connection It may not bo out of
place to remark that if there Is a man in
Omaha who can spring a longer or a stronger
petition than Mr. Charles Conover lias
already in nls desk setting forth his illness
for the position of | > ostmnstor that man will
have to got a move on himself. Mr Conoyer
has done his work quietly , but he has dona
it thoroughly , just the same , nnd If petitions
are going to count for anything the one ho
has will come pretty close to knocking dowu
the fruit.

BIDS ON POSTOFFICE.
SurprUo Aniline Cnntrneliirt Ahnil Some
Kxreptloimllv l.nw I'iciirxi ,
The bids for the gr.inito an-l brick work
on the new postolllco are the cause of much
comment among contractors who are Inter
ested lu such work. C.mlr.ictoiM who bid
on government jobs usually llgiiro matters
pretty finely , and as a rule there Is but very
llttlo range in their offers. Imagine the
surprise of the contractors then when the
bids were opened and It was found that ono
llrm had a hid in that was $ . " > ) . ( : ( ) lower than
any other bid and * 1'JIJ ( ) > ) below the aver-
ago. The bids of twelve linns averaged.
f.lSCi.000 and the lowest bid was $ J7tOJU.
Kxpcrt granite men are of the opinion that
the low bidders made an error of about.
' . ' 0,000 cubit feel of granite in the esti
mate of granite work. This at the usiint
cost of SI per cubic foot , vthieh granite
is worth In the wall , would just about ac
count for the discrepancy in the bids. The.
next lowest bid was.f.t''i.OOO.
