n Situation In ( lit ; Coimtrr
.Mom L'ltvarutile.
The trndo gpncra'ly Is waking up to the
fnct that the nltUntton In ( he country la be-
cunlri'g more favorable , nnJ while the chnngo
hnn not been of siiltlclcnt extent to cause any
material Improvement In the demand for
merchandise , It promlrcs well for the fu
ture. There are several causes at work , all
tending to bring 'about d beltci condition of
affairs In the country tributary to this maj >
kct. One of the most Important has nl-
ready been commented upon the advance
In pork and live hogs. The upward ten
dency has continued the past week nnd
there are very good icason for expecting
a still further Improvement nong ! ( he same
line. This Is taking a good deal of money
Into "Ihtf country and Is rendering one of the
chief Industries of the state hog raising
fairly profitable. Tlin mild winter has nlro
been of great assistance to the farmers ,
though It has acted at times to reduce the
volume of trade , but what the merchants
have lost the farmers liave more than
Rained. The open winter hm saved tin-
farmers n great deal of feed for live Ptock
and has at the same time Increased the
productions of butter and eggs to an extunt
that has ndded very materially to the re-
nourcpH of the fannurw , enabling them to
keep their corn , which they will have to sell
later In the spring. When It Is tnkcti Into
consideration .thru n very larpu share of
the corn crop of the paet season Is still In
crib * In the state It can readily be FCC
that the country Is not nearly so badly o
ns a good many have been led to believe.
One of the most unfavorable features o
the sltautoln as affecting the country IP th
very low price at which fat cattle aru sel
Ing. In sp'.tc of the light receipts nnd th
generally acknowledged shortage In th
supply the mnrket refuses to respond an
prices are still very low. Plenty of cattl
, are being marketed , nftcr being fattened , a
prlre no higher than were paid for them a
feeder- ) . Everything hus boon against th
cattle mnrkct. The consuming demand ha
been light owing to the linid times , whlc
have compelled people to buy cheaper ar
tides of food. The lowering of the dut
orl hides has ulto Injured the market. Dur
Ing eleven months of 1S93 $34273,602 wa
Bent to foreign countries for hides , or doubl
the amount rver before Imported durln
any year In the history of the country.
HANK CkRARINGS LAUGEU.
The IncrenFC In the bank clearings Indi
cates an enlarged volume of business a
compared1 with a year ago. While Omah
shows n gain In this respect amounting t
over 10 per cent , the average gain for a
the c'earlng house cities In the country I
or.ly B.G per cent , which would Indicate tha
Omaha Is at least keeping pace with th
ccuntry. Some of the largest cities , am
those that are popularly supposed to b
very prosperous , show a decrease In clear
Ings as compared with a year ago. Sue !
cities ns Chicago , St. Louis , Cincinnati
Louisville and Galveston ere Included in
that list.
list.OMAHA'S
OMAHA'S JOBBING TRADE.
No Important changes in the condition o
trade are reported In the wholesale dlstrlc
of the city. The demand for merchandls
continues fair In most all seasonable lines
but there Is no rush of business. Som
lines have been almost stagnant owing t
the very mild weather affecting the de
mand , but ns a rule the volume of trade i
about what Jobbers might reasonably ex
pect It to be.
Collections are generally slow , but at th
same time they are holding up very we )
and they are not nearly so bad as thc >
might be. _

O. C. Holmes , secretary pf the * Manufac
turers' association , has returned from Chicago
cage , where ho went to attend the meetln
of the National As clation of Manufac
turers. The meeting was a great succes
from a manufacturer's point of view. *
The manufacturers of Oregon have a
state association modeled after the Ne
braska. association , having for Its object th
entourugement of home Industries. They
have been very successful In their effort
to Induce the people of Oregon to buy Oregon
gen coods. ns ths people take a ) great dea
of pride In their state Institutions. Even
the farmers have gone to the trouble o
asking for home-made goods and have thu
compelled the etorekeepirs to handle Oregon
gen goods. _ _ _

CHICAao , Jnn. 25. Trailing In when !
totlny was enormous. Mny wheat woiine !
up l cihlgher thnn It was selling for at. th <
end of yesterday's scsslnn. and about ( k
hlfihcr thnn It was a week ago. That II
was all due to Armour's manipulation wet
the jrenernl opinion of the local crowd. The
other markets were strong In sympathy
with wheat ; corn Is up IHc per bu. and
oata Ic higher. Pork gained 2T",4c per bbl. ,
lard lOc per 100 Ibs. nnd ribs IS'jc.
It wns a day of great excitement through
out the wheat crowd. Quick , nervous flashes
of Impatience marked the varied transac
tions nnd big traders stormed through the
turmoil of the pit In their eagerness to seize
the key of the enigma. It was sentiment
apparently more than the news which gave
the morket'.the big bulge. Cables were only
a trifle better , the political situation abroad
was more peaceful , there were no wheat
clearances from New York , and'only nbout
10G.OOO bu. In wheat nnd flour from both
coasts. And In addition to this Argentine
was paid to have shipped 210,000 bu. during
the week the largest for a considerable
time and private cables were received an
nouncing that the port of Odessa waa
opened and that wheat shipments would
soon be resumed. The northwestsrn deliv
eries ) , 4.15 cars , were larger than n week
ago , and the general primary deliveries also
liberal. Hut all this could not repress th,9
energy of the bulls , and there was such
wild buying that every short Boon got on
the run , nnd there , was an exciting struggle
to cover , whllo there wns hardly any for
sale except nt what seemed to be fancy
prices , but which they finally concluded to
pay. Right nt the start there was selling nt
from G3)ic down to 63i4c , but at the lower of
those prices the offerings were confined tea
a few fives , for which there were twenty
buyers for every one offered , and after a
few preliminary plunges nnd recoveries be
tween C3V4c and We , the prlco took a shoot
up to 65c , reaching there Inside of the first
forty minutes. The fnct that the exports
from both coasts for the week were COO.OOO
bu. largir than lust week and another large
decrease In the visible Is expected exer
cised a powerful Influence in starting the
boom. Brnksrs generally credited the almost
Hghtnlng-llke barometric changes to Armour
Influence , nnd many withdrew to view the
smoke of battle from a quiet nook. The
bull sentiment- seems to be In the air. and
needs but n little encouragement to keep It
going. On the bulge some of the big buyers
began to hesitate , but the crowd had got In
line nnd the momentum still carried It 'up
ward. May opened at GS c , sold at ffl&c ,
up to CSc , off to 64c , then up to 65c and
closed nt 65Q.
Corn was fairly active , but all Its strength
clearly came from sympathy with wheat.
May opened unchanged at 29lc , sold nt
from 29o to 29c. nnd then tailed on to tha
rise In wheat until It got up to 31o Just as
the market was closing ,
A verv active market was reported for
oats. The feeling was strong and prices
followed the fluctuations of wheat and corn ,
closing n full cent ihigher. Mnv opened un
changed at ZOtfe , sold upo 22c and closed
it 21c bid. Julv ranged from 20-)4c , sellers ,
to from 22c to 22Hc , resting with sellers at
from 22c to 22VsC.
Provisions were strong and fairly active ;
and while there wns a very light run of
hogs , which of Itself wqs suggestive of
hleher prices , It took the excitement and
bulgein wheat to give the shorts sufficient
fright to drive thorn In. May pork opened

CourHo of Spi-ciilntlon.
NRW YORK , Jnn. 25. The courae of today's
; > eculntlon marked a return of confidence as
> the Immediate outlook on the part of the
Inanclal community. The Improvement that
> ccuried was In a fair measure due to actual
iuyer of stocks , although professional operations
Isurcd for the m-nalrr part In the day's total
business. The volume of trading was relatively
above the recent in prune. A slight hesitancy
was noted at the outset , which was due tu the
'allure of the London market for Americans
o respond to the strcnc closing prices here yts-
eulay. The local market , however , soon took
on a firm lone , and prices generally advanced
m buying for both accounts , tno trains ranting
from 1 tu 2 per cent. Final prices , with one or
wo unlmpoitant txM-ptlonii. were at the hluh-
ebt of the day. Although the market of the
veek has reflected a more cheerful temper in
\\all street , conservative people are not yet pre
pared to commit themselves to Important ven-
ure of enterprises , while the buslne.a of the
country and operations upon the. Slock
exchange are liable nt any moment to be
naterlally affected by every chance political
umor. At the moment , undoubtedly , the domes-
la outlook piesonts n more reauurlng aspect
nd that Is tufllclent for Ilia rapidly changing
peratlons of the professional dealers.
Aside from the meeting of the anthracite coal
iresldcnts on Thursday , the outcome of vthlch
s still lo be determined , there have been dumes-
lo market developments of th first class. Money
n call has continued easy , and Indications cf an
ncreuslng UUrxveltlon on the part of lenders to
ffer funds , are beginning to be noted , although
he demand fur thirty day accomm-.ilatlo.ns Is
till largely In excess of the supply , An Im-
ruved condition of the market for commercial
lapt-r Is gratifying , although discrimination as
o quality la still unusually keen , There Is a
omlctlon on nil sides that danger of serious
Islurbance to the money market , In connection
with ths withdrawals from ( he banks by the
ucce.Eful bidders for the new government loan , Is
nllkely. Regarding the loan lUelf , the best
nfurmed flnanclem express even greater confl-
riict > than heretofore as to Its fuc-cm ? . At
iu same tlmo U Is not believed that , monl than
ne-quarter of the domestic subscriptions will
bo made from outside of New York. Tobacco
'as the speculative feature of the veek. Pur-
ia es by the factions contending for control
f the company's affairs caused an advance of 3
> cr cent In Its market price. In anticipation of
m closing of thu books for the annual election ,
ix > ut two weeks hence. At one time a premium
f U per cent was exacted fur use ct the
ock. After the closing of the booko , stock wai
iruwn upon the market , and this , together wlto
te vigorous raiding by the bears , caused a
ump to 74K. At the low point Uie offerings
ere taken by Inildcra and the price Improved
o 77ii at the close.
The general speculation , as a whole , was ex-
remely dull and prvfMslcmal and the range ot

The railway land market tfrlsy was quite ani
mated for a half holiday , nnd the dealings were
well distributed. The otal of buslneja dis
tributed was | 1llloiin. Higher prices for the
week were recorded In nil t-f the prominent
speculative railway and miscellaneous mortgages ,
particularly the Reading Ifsueo. Of the latter
, the 4s trust receipts are up 2',4 per cent ; 4 <
unstamped , 4'i per cent ; 4s first Incomes , flrat

were Influenced by the progress made toward
reorganization nnd by the belief that an har
monious agreement will be reached by the
anthracite coal presidents. The agirrecate soles
were $6,729,000.
As comparfd with the quotations for BOV-
ernmentn ruling nt the close tt the preceding
week , todny's prices record concessions of 1
per cent In the new 4s > and a fraction In the
other Issues. Pales of J70.000 were noted. In

The Financier says thin week : The statement
of the associated bunks of New York City tor
the week ending January 25 Is a lepetltlon , BO
far an the general showing of the several
Items Is cMieerned , of the previous week's ex
hibit , The steady decrease of loans , were II not
for the unuiual conditions now prevnlllni ; , might
bo regarded ns > one of the most unfavorable
symptoms which have been shown fur months
and the contraction In n manntr should be In
terpreted ns a disturbing factor. The liquida
tion In thn past five weeks has been In excess
of S45,000,00i ) , nnd the total Innns nt the end
of the current week were $75.000,000 less than
reported last September , when the highest mark
c\cr recorded In the history of New York
banks wns readied , There Is no doubt that the
banks are moulding their -business to meet the
new bond Irmn. The decrease In the deposit
Item reflects the withdrawals of legal tenders
for export purposes and the * shifting caused by
the contraction In loans. With n total excess
of reiwnc of $37,000.000. there shculd be no
difficulty In absorbing a considerable portion of
the new bonds on the part of the New York
banks If such an Investment ls desired. It Is
worthy of note that of the $76IM. 00 In specie
now In the New York bonks , six Institutions
hold $31. 11.1,000 , or 40 per cent of the total.
The holdings of the national city banks "nearly
$13,000,003 constitute over 16 per cent of all the
spacle In tha sixty-six New' Vork clearing houne

upward this morning after a weight of shaky

the bull fever speedily nstertnl Itself , nnd the
picture- a pit full of shorts , nil clamoring
for wheat , which was witnessed yesteidny nftei-
nion , was repented In all Its details taday. At
such a time a rumor of any sort , If bullish , ns-
surnen tremendous proportions , and the report
from Chicago , therefcre , that Armour wns buyIng -
Ing up the wheat crop was taken In good faith ,
both here and at the west , nnd caused no end
of excitement for a while. Upon calm delibera
tion , tha trade did not believe the Armour
story , for It remembered that sevtral years
ago Mr. Armour wns credited with saying that
ho would never take up the long side ot when )
again. Nevertheless the market was very nerv
ous , nnd on the curb after 'change May sold

CATTLE U was a repetition of tho.usual
Snturday'8 mnrkct , only that the receipts
were lighter than customary. Only thirty-
nine loads , 8(4 head , were reported In the
yards today aa against 1,349 on Saturday of
last week. With so few cattle on sale , there
was not much upon which to base values ; ,
there were , In fact , hardly enough cattle
to really make a market.
A few corn-fed steers offered chntiRoil
hands at prices that were fully steady or a
little stronger than yesterday. The cattle
were all reid In Rood season.
Butchers' stock , such ns cows and heifers ,
brought Rood Rtronc prices and everything
BhanRed hands early.
As usual on a Saturday , there was very
little doing In the stacker and feeder divi
sion , but what cattle sold brought about
tine pome prices as yesterday.
The receipts of cattle during- the past
week worn light , falling short of the pre
vious WtiVs record by over 1,000 head. As
to the market there was not very much
change , therj being few fluctuations in
values. The market , however , has not. been
of a very satisfactory character. While the
demand has been fully equal to the supply ,
It has not been sufficiently urgent to make
a very active market. However , the re
ceipts of each day have generally been sold
on the day of arrival , and the yards have
been kept well cleared. Stockers and feed
ers have been In more liberal pupnly during
the past week and the market IH hardly so
strong as It was a week ago. At the same
tlmo prices are high as compared with the
way fat cattl ? are selling.

HOGS The receipts of hr > K > < were the llRhtect
of any day since Mcxiday. In splto of the fnct
that It was a Saturday and that the purchases
would have to be carried over until next week ,
the packem all wanted hogs and they wanted
them badly nouirh to pay a good stiff advance.
Reports from other market * were all favorable
and that added to the strength of the market.
The trade ns a whole was lOc higher than yester
day and active M the. advance , everything being
sold out early. The popular price was $4 , at
which figure the bulk of the hogs sold , ns against
13.90 yeeteiday. A few loads jtald nt 1405 and
some good llgbt weights were sold by epculatom
at 14.074.
The week closed with the hoi ; market at the
highest point touched so far this season and
yet only lOc higher than It opened. The liogii
sold on Monday at $3.8583.95 , with the bulk at
J3.90 , and on the following day reached J3.950
4.00 for the bulk. A reaction pet In on Wednes
day and continued through Thursday which
carried the market to the low point , J3.85 for the
bulk. During the balance of the week prices
tended upward rapidly.
Hags are now gelling fully as high as I hey
did a year ago and 60ft 70c higher than a month
ago.
ago.The buyew apparently want the hogs worse
at the present higher pi Ices than they did a
month ago , when the market was much lower.
The result In that the market has been active
and very satisfactory to the selling Interests.

CHICAGO , Jan. 25. The receipts of cattle ,
though small , wcra equal to the demand , nnd
Hold at unchanged prices , beef cattle going
about 25a below the best time this month ,
Cattle arc now very cheap , notwithstanding the
short supply In the west , but the roc .Mil sharp
advance In hog products Is beginning to stimu
late the consumption of beef , Prlcea rule as
follows : Common to prime beeves , from $3.20 to
$4.60 ; stockers and feeders , from I2.C5 to $3.85 ;
bullu , cown and heifers , from Jl.W lo $3.60 ; veal
calves , fioin $5 to $6.25 ; Texas steers , from
$3.10 to $4.15.
Today's tun of hogs was extremely small , even
for Saturday , and prices took another upward
turn of from fie to lOc. Hut a short lime wan
required to close out 'the supply at from $1
to $4.30 , the bulk of the hogs bringing from
$4.20 to $4.25. The hog shortage Is now so evi
dent tliat almost every one 1 * looking for fur
ther largo advances , .and country snippets are
contracting hogs at high prices. Light hogs
sold at from $4 to $4.10 , plus at from $3.5 < > to
$4.20 , and culls at from $2.50 to $3.
The ttw sheep received today were eloswl
out at unchanged prices , sales being on the
basl of from $ J to $2.60 for Infu-ior. from $2.76
to $3 for fair to good , and from $3.25 to $3.65
for choice to prime. Kaulern marketa are re
ported aa glutted with sheep , and until this
surplus Is got rid of the Chicago market Is not
likely to undergo much Improvement.

The committee of fifty appointed by tlio
monster meeting nt Metropolitan Temple , i4
San l-Yancloco has Issued
, a cogent memorial -
rial on behalf of the people of California
flgnlnst refunding the 1'nclflc railroad debt
or cxtcmlliiR the tlmo of payment thereof ,
The committee pays It Is shown In the toi
port of the Pacific Hallway Commission that
all the visible means and assets of the com
panies have been wrongfully appropriated to
their own use by the original stockholder
and mancKerB , nnd they or their successor
ought to be made to pay the money baokl
If any of the proposed legislation passes the
companies will have no means from which to
pay the debt except their capacity to cant
money by transportation. Hence , excepting
the Insignificant Items of westbound pleasure
travel and local freights from Nevada , Utah
and Nebraska , the people of California wilt
have to pay the entire sum the companies
hive to earn In order to pay thosio debts , '
with their accumulated thirty years past In
terest , as well as Interest for the whole
period during which the payment may bo
deferred. To extend the Indebtedness of thb
Central Pacific nnd Union Pacific fer fifty
years at 2 per cent would bo to > saddle somd
$300,000,000 In amount on the people
of the state and their children for two gen
erations to come. "No conquered Roman
province ever was sj grievously taxed. "
The committee Insists upon It that the
plain , speedy and adequate remedy for the
recovery of the money due the United State *
by these companies Is that which any busi
ness man would adopt under like circum
stances. It to to foreclose the mortgage , and
then , If a deficiency arises , sue the guilty
directors as far as they survive and their
representatives so far an they have left BS-
scta for the restoration cf the funds misap
propriated by them. The only reason as
signed against foreclosure Is that there la
a "first mortgage" on the property which
will swallow up all the proceeds of sale.
But the priority of this so-colled firsa mortgage - '
gage 'on the Central Pacific Is challenged on
the strength of facts which it Is Impossible
to deny. The Thurmnn act distinctly chaU
lengcs their priority In UD recital that they J
are , "if lawfully Issued nnd disposed of , " a
prior lien to that of the government subsidy ; I
Hut , plainly , if they were not lawfully Issued
and disposed of they have no priority. News
on their foco they evidently da not conform
to the requirements of the act of 1864 , anil r ,
therefore were not lawfully Issued. And as * 1
to the disposal of them the report of tho- ij
commission shows that they were paid out
by the directors of the company tc , them *
selves under the thin disguise of a construe-
tlon company of which they owned all the
stock. Hence the first mortgage bonds were ,
not lawfully disposed of. "Surely this qucsT
tlon of law. Involving nearly $28,000,000 ( for
the Central Pacific alone ) , Is worth consid
eration by. . a court. "
Thes'a , railroad corporations have valid
claims of large amounts against persons pos
sessed of great wealth. The Central Pacific-
has a perfectly valid claim against' Ha
guilty directors for all the millions mis
appropriated by them , and even If the es
tates of the deceased assDciateg prove'tobe >
beyond reach of the law , 'Collln P. . Huntlncton-
remains. Ho Is an active promoter of re
funding , and he knows , without the condona-
tlon Involved In such refunding , "ho will bo-
called on to make restitution. All of the
Southern PacISu , south of Qllroy and Al
calde , 'belongs ' equitably to the Central Pa
cific. It was built with the credit of that
company , diverted by unfaithful directors to
the construction of a rival road , a fact thfc
proof of which is easy.
The memorial calls attention to the deep
shame and dishonor tbo proposed legislation
would bring upon our country and the con-
gresj enacting it. To condone such a shock
ing malversation of public funds , especially-
after publishing to the- world the facts , as
congress ha& done in the report of its railway -
way commission , \\ould be to say to all tha t
world that congress considers these transac
tions up to Its E'tandard ' of morality In dealIng -
Ing with public trusts , and that misappro
priation of public moneys , It done on a large-
scale and by men wealthy from the proceeds ,
of their guilt , is but a minor offenie , for
which a promise to pay half a century hence-
will buy forgiveness. And It pertinently
asks what tlid men who vote for such legis
lation will think of themselves a few years ,
hence , when the managers , having iwcured
a condonation of .tlielr offenses and Intrenched
.their wealth behind a new act of congresu ,
make default on their new promises and
abandon their 'lines ' to the United States ,
subject to a mortgage of undoubted validity
of two or three hundred millions and a largo
floating ; debt , and reduced to the physical
condition described by one of their own dis
tinguished lieutenants as "two streaks ot
rust and a right of way. "
