ut 747ic , or Sounder last night's close. Corn
wru quiet with n loss of lc. ) Provision *
showed declines of 30o In pork , 25c in lard and
from 20c to 22Uc In rlbi.
In wheat tunny tlilnus combined to create a
\\cak-knecrt feeling. Tlio Wellington wheat
rrop Iullctlii3 were more bearish than any
tlmo since tlio crop scars In tlio early spring.
Tlio foreign markets nil showed weakness.
Now VorU reported norvontnoss ovur further
Auslrnllnn bank troubles , A bank at Minne
apolis failed nnd tlio fact was inasnlflod ten

Hut by inoro than all these Inniicnccs.tho trade
was very demoralized by the suspicion illmt
tlio ( Judahy bull clique hud anuinlicr of houses
polling all tliowhcui possible. I'ardildKo had
covered notloss than 3,000,000 bu slnro Mon
day morning , and ho was not in a hurry to
tuko wheat oven on tlio lironk. In uddltlon to
this , Armour and N. II. Honin WPIO apparently
Bqnarcly against the market. They lire BPllcrii ,
it was said , on the theory that 80,000.000 uu.
of wheat hero must bo carried ami must bo

cllned from 1V to IXc lower than yesterday ,
A private culilo piirpoitlng to come from
Iliiila-rcsth was circulated among the traders
reporting great excitement there with an ad
vance of 8c. per bit. In wheat , owing to damage
from drouth In Hungary. Hut. as other foreign
markets did not HCCIII to bo nllcctod by It , the
trndo hero voted It u cnnnrd.
Corn was llrm and Hold nt nshado over yes
terday's closing prices nt tlio opening , llm
market was crushed by the weight of otlcrlngs
when wheat declined. The close was within
Jic of Inside prices. Advices from the country
wcro that farmers were ies.umlng the hauling
of corn to market and that shipments would
bo much heavier next week.
Oats opened llrm and remained so until
about noon. Tlio receipts woie ten cars short
of the vstlmato and them was n good many
buying orders leportcd. The line weather and
weakness In wheat and corn canned a decline
in tlio market toward the end and values
dropped from Jfc to } 5c , closed at ! { c decline.
Tlio provision market was weak , but on a
light trado. The slump In grain and thocon-
elderuhlo amount of uneasiness on account of
the llnancl.il situation were weakening factors
nnd tlio market iecolod very llttlu support
from the bull clique.

LONDON , May 17. [ Now Yo'k Herald Cable
Special to TUB HUB. ] Except Just for the
first hour this was again a very uncomfortable
day on the Stock u.vchango. Although the
tendency at the close shows some signs of Im
proving , holders of tuost classes of securities
again suffered rather severely. Consols have
given way from 5 1-0 to 6 ? percent. Foreign
government securities have shown consider
able depression , especially South American
stocks. Argentine customs have fallen from
1 to lit per cent , Peruvian debenture 3 per
cent , Peruvian preferred U per cent , Mex
ican Os ly per cent and Costa Hlca
bonds 3i } per cent. Homo rallwuvs were
largely sold In connection with the out
standing accounts ut 1 per cont. Flatness was
very pionouncod , but the tendency was rather
better at the close and final prices , were not
the worse. Americans , soon aftur the opening ,
became Hut an heavy realizations , but during
the afternoon have hliown more strength.
Northern Pacific prefeience.s show a rise of
2 ! < percent ; Norfolk & Western , preferences
and Atclnson Income bonds , ? i per cent ;
Atchlslon ordinary , } i per cent , and most
others , ! i to ' ,4 per cent. Canadians were
rather better than they have been , but Cana
dian Pacific still shows a fall of 1'iner cent.
and Grand Tiunk Issues from ' ( to ! i percent
.Money was In geed demand. Hhort loans weio
chaiged 3 to 4 per cent. The discount market
was tcry firm. Three months bills were
granted at from 4 to 4U per cent.

Nctf VOIIK , Slay 17. There was a decidedly
hot lor fooling In stock circles today. At the
start prices ran on * from } J to IX percent In
sympathy with a break In London , but It soon
becamu evident that the decline was duo to
manipulation from this bldu and a rally
promptly ensued. There was good buying of
stocks generally and the Vanderhllts were
credited with liberal purchases of their special
ties. After the market had enjoyed a sub
stantial advance , the ban began to hauimar
tholUtand u reaction of U to 1 per cent cn-
biuul , but thu decline hud the effect of checkIng -
Ing trading.
On thu other hand , as soon as the market
started on the uuward track again specula
tion became lively and after delivery hours
was characterized by a positively buoyant
tone. The short interest was considerably
alarmed and limit quotaIons ) were nnywhcro
from ) i t ( > 4Hpercentaboru lubt nlght'H Unuls.
When thu demand became greater , the flouting
supply had been materially reduceii by recent
purchubcs for Investment. Tlio borrowing du-
niand was active and the market was full of
btop'lo.ss orders placed by the bears , who
wished to limit Uuilr losses.
The announcement that arrangements had
been made for funding the floating and other
debts of the Northern Pacific through thu
Instrumentality of thu Rockefellers and other
wealthy capitalists , had a marked Influence ,
usuUo the statements that the financial con
dition of the National Cordage company Is
much better than had been supposed u week
orsuago. The market closed strong with un
advancing tendency.
Iu 1U review of the stock market , the Post
says : Hero and there It was evident t but or
ganized bhorts were operating for the rise.
This was true of Northern 1'uclflc preferred ,

LONDON , May 17. A cable received this
morning announced the suspension of the
Koynl Hank of Queensland , limited. Although
the suspension was expected , the announce
ment of the event Increased the gloom on the
.Stock o.\chango and generated numerous
rumors probably groundless. The real cause
of the depression was that needy holders were
forced to make liquidations.
After the olllcial close of the Stock exchange -
change , American railroad stocks strengthened
and became distinctly firm on the street with
u strong upward tendency. Northern Paclllc

Cuttle Trade Still lloinorallzed In Kverjr
Aspect Hugn llxtrouiely Uncertain.
WEDNESDAY , May 17 ,
Itecelpts of all kinds wore again light today ,
the three days' supply compared with receipts
for the first three days of last week showing a
falling off of about 2,000 cattle , 6,300 hogs uud
1,200 bheop.
There was no Improvement In the cuttle
market ; In fact , prices were anywhere from
weak to a dime lower than Tuesday. This
makes u decline this week of fully 25c , and
blnco the early part of last week of fully half
a collar. The trade 1s practlcully
demoralized. Apparently no one wants
any cattle , while tha offerings uro
liberal enough to supply a fairly vigorous de
mand. Shippers did rather more trading
than on the two preceding days , but It took
low prices to muko them buy. The demand
from dressed beef houses was as usual , Indif
ferent , and sellers hud llttlo cholco. Pretty
good 1,351-Hi. cattle sold as low an (4.16. and
(4.00 was the top for choice cuttle of about
the sumo weight. Good to choice 040 to
1.175-Ib. Bt cre bold at from (4,10 to (4.0 , while
fair to poor light grades bold at from (3.76 to
4.10. Uwas u dull , moan market from start
to finish , and the supply was by no moans ex
hausted ut the close ,
Iluyora hit the cow market hard today. They
had the advantage of unusually llbvrul offer-
v
lnc , aboutn , Itiltrt of the entire w > cclP\S \
nnd miccoododI\tljhout much difficulty In
taking qir frotrdloj to 23c. The food fat cows
nnd holfcrs wore not o much lower M the
yonrllng . but as the Utter constituted the
bulk of the oRMlng ? , aollcM repotted n very
unsatisfactory trnde. Sales IncludPd poor to

There was moro Activity and n bettor tpno
to the stacker and feeder trado. The low
prices tirovnllluei Iho past few days have re

well cleaned up. A fair number of fresh cattle
wcro received today nnd the regular dealers

shipping and speculative demand and rather
limited supplies , the market opened up very
brash with prices Oc to lOc higher than Tues
day. Uoodliogs of all weights sold at $7.30
und 17.40 , with one Debt load at $7.45. Com
mon Unlit grudoH and rough heavy and mixed
hogs sold largely at 47.30 und $7.35. News of
the decline in hogs and provisions at Chicago
boon changed the aspect of affairs , buyers de
clared nil early bids oft and bought good hogs
at $7.20 and $7.30 , or huidly as high ns Tues
day. The close was Hat and fully 1,000 hogs
were loft In the pens on which bids were from
$7.15 to $7.25. The big bulk of the hogs .sold
at from $7,30 to J7.40 , as against $7.23 and

ANOTHER MILK ORDINANCE.
Health Oniclala Think They Now Have n
l.awl'rciof I.lcpnso I'lan.
Another inllk ordinance has been Intro
duced In the council , and , If It is passed , it is
said that it will hold this time and that the
milk dealers will not bo able to knock it
galley west in the courts as they have pre
vious ones.
When the last ordinance was carried into
court nnd inid upon the shelf tha Board of
Health concluded that the wisest policy waste
to bide its time and incorporate into the
charter n few needed changes. This was
done and the powers of the city in licensing
and regulating the sale of milk were in
creased so as to coyer all of the points at
issue. The new ordinance was then prepared -
pared aim is now in the hands of the com
mittee on police for investigation. It is very
lengthy and It covers in detail every point
and its provisions are very plain.
It provides that each dealer shall bo li
censed and registered within thirty
days after the ordinance goes into effect , nnd
annually on the flrst Monday of January or
the llrst Monday of July thereafter pay the
license fee. Kvery milk or cream vender
shall pay the sum of $10 , and when moro
than one wagon is required , $10 for each ad
ditional wagon. For every milk , dairy or
cow stable , whore the product is manufac
tured exclusively in cheese or butter $10.
For a violation of these provisions the of
fender shall bo deemed guilty of n misdemeanor
meaner , nnd iiucd not less than 80 nor moro
than & 100. licenses shall only bo issued in
the names of the applicants therefor and are
not transferable.
A provision of the ordinance that if en
forced will bring jov to the heart of the
housewife is that any vender who shall sell
milk from which the cream or any part
thereof has been taken , shall sell the same
as skimmed milk , and the can containing the
same shall be labeled "skimmed milk. " Also
that any dealer shall he deemed guilty of n
misdemeanor who sells or offers for sale any
milk or cream that is unclean , diluted , impure ,
unhealthy , diseased , unwholesome , adulter
ated or not of the standard quality ,
or fb which water or any other for
eign substance has been added. No milk
shall he sold or offered for sale If it contains
more than 88 per cent of watery fluids or
less than 12 per cent of total solids , of which
total solids U of the per cent shall ho
butter fat and the cream solid shall not
contain less than 10 per cent of butter fat.
Nothing ; in the ordinance shall bo con
strued to prevent the sale of sour milk or
buttermilk , provided the same is pure nnd
wholesome and shall bo sold as such ,
Any member of the Board of Health or
milk inspector or any other employu of the
board may inspect milk , covrs , wagons , cans ,
stables , yards , pastures and surroundings ,
and require samples of milk to bo
furnished for analysis. The ordinance pro
vides for the appointment of a milk inspector
specter , who shall inspect the milk of each
vendor at least once a month or oftcner if
required.
EVERYBODY KICKED HIM.
Men , Women and Ilcoj Have Fun AVIth
Douglas County' * Sheriff.
Sheriff Bennett had an Interesting tlmo in
removing J. W. Manning from the Council
property on an order of the court.
The old man refused to bo moved , and
whlto the sheriff was engaged in carrying
out the belongings of the ousted tenant and
depositing thorn in the street' ' ho pranced up
und down lloursliing n hoe handle luid de
manding to know what the ofllcer was nol
to do with him. By way of answer the
sheriff picked him up bodily and carried him
twisting , kicking and squirming out to the
roadside , nnd loft him there with an injunc
tion not to venture upon the premises any
moro.
The hardest part of the order to execute
was when it came to u liivo of bees that had
to be taken away. The sheriff would rather
have moved forty men than that bee hive ,
but it had to bo done , so ho camped on the
premises until after night fall , nnd then sal
lied forth with an immense blanket , iu
which ho tightly wrapped the liivo nnd its
animated contents. Hojolclng over his
great coup , ho picked up the hive and
proudly started for the adjoining premises ,
but it so happened that the blanket was not
boo-tight , The sheriff had gone but u few
steps when an idea seemed to strike him ,
for ho suddenly quickened his pace to n run
and sprinted over the property line on the
keen jump. Then ho dropped the hive , but
he was u liable to stop exercising his leg
muscles until ho ran into a wire fence soV'
oral rods away. This performance was ro.
cclved with every evidence of approval by n
score of the neighbor women , who u short
time before had gathered nnd discussed ,
"Oh , what u sltnmo" it was to oo u young
man curry an old ni'in out Into the street.
HTho sheriff was not ublo to convince them
that it was not a job to tils liking and that
