Owing to tlio very unf-ivorablo weather tlio
week opened wllh a very qulut market. The
deinand for green vegetables cannot be ex-
liected lo In1 largo so long id the weather con-
Untiepnld and ( rainy , nor can there be a \ ery
ticlhe demand for frult.s.
Tlio arrlvnli of sirawberrios were not very
large In the morning and the offerings were
taUeii quite readily. The quality of the
berries was not veiy coed nnd many of them
showed the results of continued rains In the
berry country. Later in the day a full car of
berries cnnip In from TVnnosci * .
Tin- butter market was steady al the decline
idled on Saturday and Ibeiu was no quotable
I'liango In the egg situation ,
Poultry continues slow at about the closing
prices or lasl week.

U'cro t'iKol tloil.
NKW YOIIK , Mny 8. The stock market was
feverish and unsettled In the early hours of
business today. Without any particular ex
citement prices ran off ! ito4 points , chlully
because of apprehensions concerning the
abllt.y of certain brokers to pull through
after recent eminiiom .shrinkages In vatucsand
the dllllctilty of rencwlnc loans. The stocks
most conspicuous In tbo downward movement ,
were the Industrials ; General Kloclrlc scoring
an exceptional decline of 7' per cent to 74 on
the 11'ht which the company has on Its hands
with the Wcstlngliouse Interest. Among the
railways , Illg Kour , Missouri I'aclllc and Lake
Shore scored the heaviest losses.
Thu strength of sterling exvhango bad some
effect as It reviewed the talk of Impending
gold exports. As far as known tliero will be no
gold shipments this week , unless conditions
me such as to put the rate of exchange con
siderably above the figures now purient. The
absence of fnlluics finally turned the current
of the stock prices upward and during the
afternoon a better foollni : prevailed than at
any previous time for a week o. more. The
bulls bought freely and the shorts took
alarm , especially when they found It
dllllcult to scenic Important amounts
without causing nritcrlal rise In quotations.
This was exemplified In Sugar , which hap
pened to have belter support than the rest ,
the i inionsulllngfronif)0'i ' lo7Oand the pre-
feried from HO to'JIM. Tim Jump In the for
mer was credited to buying for thu llavo-
meyers. National Cordage preferred ad
vanced 11 per cent , to 70 ; Manhattan , UT per
cent , to ii : , > ; Central Klivtrlc , 7 > ij er cent , to
Hlit : Chicago lias , 0'8 per cent , to 70S ; Amer

cent , to HM'i ; Hlg I'our , 2 percent , to 42j ?
and Lackawanna , 2'.i per cent , to 141'4. The
remainder of the list advanced ' , to 2 per cent
and llnal quotations were about Iho best of the
day. The sales footed 302,158 shares , of which
GO.S12 wore unlisted stocks.
The Post says : Today's curious nnd lop
sided market Is easily explained by the pecu
liar circumstances o'f last week's break. In
some of the industilal stocks the Inside specu
lators wont down precipitately with the wreck.
In others they wore the partlalcaiKo and posl-
ll\o bcnellclarles of tbo collanse. In
Sugar slocks , particularly the Insldeis with
unanimity sold tlio round stock well above
par , turned on their unhappy followers , and
witnessed the general ruin with thu equanim
ity of a man who had made a sluowd and
credlt.iblu bargain. In Chicago ( las , though
not In an equally oiTenslve manner , the Inside
managers played a corresponding role.
That the stock should recover sharply In
thu face of shaken prices elsewhere , was ,
therefore , not at all surprising. The Initial
collapse of 7 points InUoneial F.I eel do , duo
quite as iniieh to last week's Impolitic show oftener
tenor by the company's ollli-ors as lo the In-
slgnlli'anl law suit trumped forth In yester
day's papers , was oll'sot by an almost equally
sudden rally. The rest of the market fol
lowed doubtfully , a natural uneasiness of
holders being Intensified by astonishingly bad
crop reports from Kansas.

MONDAY , May 8.
Itorolptsof all kinds today were fully up to
the average for n Monday , rather heavier In
fact than a week no. There uoro oloio to
3.000 cattle on sale , of which fully three-
fourths were beef steers , or would pass for
such. The market was a very iwatlsfaetoiy
one. Depressed trade oiiit prevented specula
tive activity , whllo the ample oIlerliiRS pnvo
buyers for local hou-.es a chance to do siiinn
.selecting. About tin-only active Imiiilry was
for the tidy fat llht ; cattle anil thoio sold In
some cases al least at fully steady prices.

1.7 THE UNITED 8JTATE3 COUET3.
Cases AnVotlntr Itank WriTltor Mo lior
Jurors I > PS Miiiipy .May Term Opened.
The May term of the United States district
courts opened yesterday morning at the court
room in thcpostofilco buildintr. diido ( Uuml.v
was on the bench as usual , and there were
more than flfty of the leading attorneys of
Nebraska present. The entire forenoon was
taken up with the hearing of motions. Noth
Ing of a criminal nature was taken up , the
time being devoted to the law and equity
cases. Several motions were made by attor
neys having charge of cases that have-grown
out of the Capital National hank failure.
In the case of the Colilwater National
bank of Vermont against C. W. Moshcr a
demurrer was liled. In discussing the intro
duction of the demurrer the attorney for the
plaintiff said that the case would ho prose
cuted on the ground of fraud on tlu part of
Mr. Mosher. The notes and mortgages bud
been signed , ho said , by K. Hurlbut , man
ager of the Western Manufacturing com
pany , when as u nutter of fact ho h.ul no
right to sign documents in such a capacity.
The demurrer war Hied. The case is evi
dently going to stir up a good deal of the rot
tenness that surrounded the manipulations
of the Capital National bank funds.
Jtulgo Dundy started in this morning with
a law docket , of 1"0 cas.'s , an equity docket
of'OS cases ami the prospects of something
llko fifty criminal cases if the grand Jury
gets in a vigorous term's work.
It is siill uncertain as to whether or not
there will bo any Jury called. It w.ll depend
upjii the action of ex-Marshal Slaughter in
responding to the order of the department
to pay in certain funds to bo used for jury
expenses. That will bo decided in a few-
days , as Air. Slaughter is cxpyete.t from
Fullertou tomorrow. .ludgo Dundy siU : this
moriiinir to several of the attorneys that if
they wished to chip in and pay the expenses
of a J'u-y they could have their cases tried.
In some cases tills will probably bo done , as
parties are hero .ill the way from Washing
ton to have cases decide. ! and it will be
cheaper for them to pay the expanse of a
jury than to postpone the cases and come
back again. This , of course , if money is not
secured from the Treasury department.
C.in .Mr. .Sl.nuliti-r I'r. < > 7.u to tbu i'Ycs ?
The question as to whether ex-Marshal
Slaughter has a legal right to retain funds
that belong to the Unite , ! States after his
term of ofllce hascx-phed , and pending a final
settlement with the T.ioasury department ,
has been raised by several attorneys and is
being quietly discussed , both in Omaha au I
Lincoln.
Several prominent attorneys wore asked
yesterday to give an opinion 11)1011 ) the sub
ject. In many instances the lawyers were
not inclined to express an opinion , as they
said it was a question they had never had
occasion to investigate.
"I would not give you an opiouion for pub
lication upon that question , " s.ud Mr
Charles Greene , when the conundrum
was shoved at him. "I have never
looked Into the matter , and , of course , am
not in a position to state whether a retiring
ofllccr has the right to hold funds as an o.Tsut
against , that which the government , owes
him or not. It is usually a pretty safe thing
for a man to hold funds that belong to other
parties proviiilng thu other parties owe him ,
but the United States laws may ho very
strict on the subject. "
Mr. John D. lloivo was asku.l for an opin
ion upon the subject and said : "I don't
know what the law upon the subject is. 1
have never Investigated the subject and do
not profess to Know things tb.it I have not
looked into , but I should s.iy that it is a
very common tiling for men when they iret
hold of money that belongs to parties who
ewe them to treezo toil , as o s ly. If the j
parties sue for tlio | x > sicssion : of the funds
then the claim Is brought in as an offset and
if the claim Is goud it will stand. This is the
rule in over.vday affairs , but I am not giving
iou an opinion about the conditions tliat
surround u retiring t'nUc.il .States olllicr ,
because T am not familiar with the law on
thn Ftihject. "
United States Attorney Raker said :
"When AOU ask mo if a retiring ollicer has a
right to withhold funds belonging to Iho
govovnmcut , I say certainly not ; that would
constitute embezzlement. Hut when jouask
mo if ex-Marshal Slaughter has a right to
withhold funds that are said to belong to
tlio government , then 1 say that if the gov
ernment owes Air. Slaughter moro
than is represented by the funds
ho holds he is not holding government funds ,
they belong to him. The olllco of marshal
is afeooftlco. When a fee is oaineil the
government owes it to the marshal and If
ho retains government funds to cover these
fees IIB is simply holding that whlcli belongs
to him. If he retains more money than is
in'oporly coming to him then ho Is an em-
boT/lur , but if the government Owen him
moro than he la holding he is fommittiiiK no
crime. The wording of the law would indi
cate that it in the Imperative du y
of the marshal to turn over to
the government all the monevs in
his posst.siion at the expiration of
his term , out vro tuim uuo tlio application
ami construction put upon the .itntiilps by
the courts and not thn exact wording , for
the meaning that the courts put Into n
statute Is the real law of the laud , nut the
moro wording or letter of tlio law U has
been held time nnd again that ox-marshals
ami other rellrlm ? ofllcers have a right to hold
funds as an offset against that which
the government owes them. Kx-Marshal
Ulerbowcr held funds for several months
until the government got ready to settle his
account , and then the government paid him
tlu difference between that which was duo
him nnd that which he held of government
funds. It is a common thing for retiring
marshals to hold funds until the government
makes a llnal .settlement , for the reason that
if they pay over all the moue.x In their hands
they may wait long yo.trs boron * the govern
incut dually pays them all that is duo
them. "
Another attorney said : "While It U nn
illegal not , technically , it is not considered a
criminal offense for an ofllcer to whom the
government owes money to hold It bac'.t for a
final settlement In the ordinary business
affairs between men it Is a very common
thing fo- ono mat ) to hold mone.v that l > o-
lonij.s to another as an olTset against that
which Is rightfully coming to him from the
'
oilier , and the retention' government
funds as an offset against that which Is dim
a retiring ofllcer . .B a part of the fees of his
ofllcu Is looked upon in a similar light. "

year's issue could be made at I1. , ' percent ,
and with that Idea In view a number of
brokers were communicale.l with. So far
none of them has ventured an opinion as to
whether the b.mds could bo disposed of. In

The many cases of rheumatism cured by

few months have given the people great con

shown that there is one preparation that can
be dopemlo.1 upon for that painful and ag-
graving disease. Honaker liros. , Ixirain , O. ,
