Buccccilcd In flccurliiR from the Mexican KOV-

to establish at Juarez across the Hlo Orando
from Rl I'aso a Brcat International Monte
Carlo ,
UeganllnR the venture the San Tranelaco
C'lironlclo Ba ) : "A scheme Is bcliiR hatched
on the southern border of California which.
If successful , will create a flcnsatlon through
out the nlopo and will rcvolutlonlzo the Mox-
Iran territory of Lower California. It Is
known that the famous Knsenada Rrant on
the Todos Santos bay , for which Mrs. Burton
foiiRht BO long and so energetically , passed
Homo tlrno ago Into the hands of an English
company known as the Lower California
Development and Colonl/titlon company , In
which there are eald to bo sixteen stock
holders , all millionaires. A new manager.
Colonul Cro\ve Heed , lately took charge of
the company's concerns. Ho proposes to lay
on a line of steamers between Ktiacnada and
San I'cilro. so as to do buslnc with the lat
ter port Instead of San Diego , as at present ,
It Is discreetly hinted that , under this In
offensive maritime development , there lurks
a project of startling magnitude nothing
less than the establishment' of an American
Montu Carlo at Knsunada.
"Tho Idea la not new. Several years ago
It occurred to the astute mind of Chrla
tophpr riuclcley , who associated himself with
Bcvcral men of capital , to carry It out.
Throe separate applications for a COIICOH-
Blon were made to the government of
Mexico , but were all denied. President
Diaz had moral scrnplcfl against legalizing
gambling In his country , and poihaps , also ,
ho objected to golnu Into paitnershlp with
a political boss from this city. Perhaps ,
again , the Ilncklcy syndicate did not bid
high enough for the privilege. It Is whis
pered that the Kngllsh company has made
more liberal offers and that It has found
President Diaz nmenablo to roa on.
WOULD DRAW WELL.
"A regularly licensed gambling OHtabllsh-
mciit , organized on the model of the one
at Monncti and conducted with some guar
antee for fair dealing , would undoubtedly
draw copious patronage from all the states
west of the rlvcru. as well as Texas and
Louisiana ; It would attract a certain num
ber of visitors from the ccst , especially those
who go to Florida and the West Indies dur
ing the winter. In the American nature ,
what the > Prcnch call the 'Instinct d'nilo ; , ' Is
strong ; It 11 ml3 an outlet on the stock and
produce exchanges ; It supports lu every
largo city a number of gambling houses
which are conducted In defiance of law.
If there were a licensed caslhu within
forty-eight hours from San Kranclsco , thro * :
days from New Orleans and five days from
New York , where men of sporty proclivities
might lost 100 In an evening at roulette-
or trentc ct ( iimrantc , In the must luxurious
of possible palaces , vlndcr a cllmute which
Is an earthly paradise , a good many people
might avail themselves of the opportunity.
"Until the opciilni ; of the new casino
at Ostcnd the casino at Monaco , which Is
called 'tho Society of Ilaths and the Strang
ers' Club , ' netted an annual profit of about
Jii.UOO 000. The capital was $0,000.000 , only
1mlf of which was called In. Thin was
expended on the construction of thrco mag-
nlllccnt gambling halls , a theater , a nallc
for promenade , a restaurant , noble gardens
full of rare exotics and works of art by
the best masters ; the spot outshone In glory
the moat gorgeous royal residences. It WES
an embodiment of splendor and luxury.
Kvcn after the opening of Its Osteml rival ,
In 1895 , the receipts from the tables and
rents were $4,000,000. The accounts of that
year show the lavish scale on'lilch the
casino was conducted.
FINANCE AT MONACO.
'Tor the concession the prince of Monaco
received $250,000 as annual rent and as
much more was paid for the support of his
government , his army and police , his law-
courts , his schools and even his clergy , In
cluding the Ulaliop. The running expenses
were $400,000" A sum of $200,000 was set
asldn as a revenue fund to meat unexpected
losses ; $40,000 were allowed for repairs ,
$25,000 for secret service and $300,000 as
hush money to the press. To maintain the
attractions of the place $125,000 were ap
propriated for a subsidy to the theater and
$75,000 to support the racra. the carnival and
the shooting matches. Other minor ex
penses consumed $50,000 more. When all
these enormous outlays were paid there
was a sum of over $2,200,000 left for divi
dends on the capital of $ G,000,000 , halt of
which was water.
"It need hardly bo added that old Fran-
cols Illnnc , the original concessionary , who
was long ago gathered to his fathers , died
a multl-mllllonalrc , and left a surprising
fortune to his four children. Ills two daugh
ters married princes , and one of the sons
is a member of the Chamber of Deputies.
When they got Into good society they felt
ashamed of owning a gambling house , and
they sold out their Interests to a syndicate
of Paris bankers , who run It still. The
now owners" have perfected the organization
which old Papa Illnnc founded ! Once or
twice the lofty soul of the prince of Monaco
has revolted at deriving his Income from
a gambling hell. Hut the 'Company of the
Ilaths' Is prepared for nil contingencies.
The army Is In their pay. They own the
judges. The people pay no taxes , and would
oppose to a man a revolution which would
lead to their being taxed. The company
has a prince of the name of Hadzlvlll , wllom
it keeps groomed to take the place of the
prince of Monaco In case ho gave trouble.
Shares have been discreetly distributed
among1 the leading statesmen of Franco and
Italy to Insure their noninterference. Per
haps the most curious part of the corpora
tion machinery Is that which concerns the
press.
FOH MOLDINO OPINION.
"The annual appropriation under this
head Is $300,000. Of this in 1S95 the French
press received $200,000 and the English press
$10.000. For this the ncwspapcra are re
quired to keep silent about any milcldcs or
other accidents which occur at Monte Carlo ,
and to advertisetho existence of the Casino
to the public. It Is said that sixty newspa
pers at Nice Ilvo on what they got from
the company.
"It Is hardly likely that a casino at En-
ecnada would take In a profit of $4,000,000 n
year at any rate at fir ; : , il'st after a time ,
when It had Improved Its territory so as to
convert It Into u garden ; when It had built
its theater and concert hall , and kursaal ,
and engaged the leading artists of the day
to appear there , and established a restaurant
with a renowned French chef at Us head ,
and allured to Its paradise a few of the fash
ionables and a few of the buttcrlllcti of the
gay world , It would bo likely to draw a
crowd. The stream of gamblers , and Idlers ,
and fast people of both sexes would bo likely
to make a difference In the passenger re
ceipts of the railroads converging at Los
Angeles. It would bo bad for morality , but
not BO bad for thu stockholders In tbo
casino. " _

OMAHA , Nov. 21. To the Editor of The
Dee : I notlco In your last evening's edition
of The Dee that there Is talk of reducing the
salary of the city electrician. AH n taxpayer ,
I am , of couiue , Interested in thp economical
management of th'-a department , but If the
ofllco of the city electrician were properly
conducted , there would need bo no talk of
reducing salary , an the otllco would bo prac
tically sfllf-tupportlnt ; . If the electrician
would devote a few" hours each day to the
Inspection of wiring , as required by ordi
nance , and turn Into the treasury the
amounts collected for supervising wiring In
South Omaha and East Omaha , ho would
earn hta salary for the city.
Ho tiUouW go to the Nebraska Clothing
compnny. whore an nr\j wlro ami an Incan-
OcACfnt wire pro In actual contact ; to Dal-
zoll'B Ice cream factory , where four-homo
power at r.OO vollH It reluming to the etroct
railway power station through water mains ;
ateo nt the rextaurant at Twentieth and Lake
streets.
Ho should go to the Dent and Dumb Insti
tute , where nearly 2BO lights have been
ItislalU-il and running for A year without his
making an Inspection. He should notlco the
lamp cord In llaymond'e show window , the
wiring In the WelMtcr ntrvct depot , where
forty-three lights uro run on one circuit ; the
COO volt wires In the Ncbraaka Music hall ,
where they are touching wood and one-half
Inch from the gaa pipe , Instead of o foot.
There arc many of these places throughout
the city which niu regular flrctraps that I
can show to the proiicr persons.
Ho should at least Insist that permits be
taken out for work done that the city will
not Icdc all It pays him n salary.
Mr. Sehurlg haa permitted the wiring of a
largo hotel on Fornam street , and a largo
factory on Eleventh street , by unlicensed
contractors , and by his persecutions , drove
Mr. Cowglll , a licensed electrician , from
the city.
He misrepresented the Insurance Inspector
to the Carter White Lead works , while
hustling work for the Western Electrical
Supply company of this city. If Mr. Sehurlg
would do his duty for thrco tlajo , ho could
furnish work enough Im thlo city for all the
unemployed wlrcmen In town all winter , but
ho will not do It. Ho poems to have a
guiding star which Is not yet ready to move.
Do not cut the salary of this ofTlco , but
scu to It that the city electrician earns his
salary. Very truly yours ,

lin.Utl ) AIIOUT TOAV.V.
Rev. T. J. Mackay has a wood pile back
of All Saints' rectory which Is giving him
and his neighbors a whole lot of amuse
ment. As every Omahan knows , this rev
erend gentleman Is the embodiment of good
humor and charity , but this fall he decided
that whoever got any money out of him
would have to work for It. So ho laid In
a supply o ( cordwood and smiled to himself
as ho watted for appeals. Hut the result
has not been tmch as comic papers picture
such experiments. When u man conies to
the kitchen door and asks for a meal , the
cook goes out and selects thrco sticks or
wood , which Is tho. limit any man Is al
lowed to saw If ho only wants something
to eat. Uut when the dominie U "struck"
for money , a parley ensues.
"Aro you a married man ? " Is asked In a
brink way , and If the applicant cannot vouch
for a wife ami nno or two babies , he Is
tolil to go In peace and look up a job else
where. If however , he has those hlcsalnga ,
either real or Imaginary , a quarter Is quickly
transferred from the rector's pocket to the
man's hand and ho Is directed to go around
the housn and paw a quarter's worth of
wood.
"How long shall I saw ? " Is the question
Invariably asked. "How much Is u quarter's
worth ? "
"Saw till you think you've done enough , "
Is the rector's stereotyped reply , as ho re
turns to Ms study , "only be sure and don't
saw too much. "
That Is the trouble the good dominie la
experiencing. Every man who gets a quar
ter seems to feel In duty bound to make OB
big a hole In the wood pile an ho ran , and
thin Is just what Mr. . .Mackay deco not
want him to do. Ho expected that pile to
last all winter , and hero it Is , not yet
Thanksgiving , and the wood IH nearly gone.
It has been carried up Into the attic and
down Into the cellai , and one cannot take
a trip around the rectory without stumbling
over a small stack of stove wooiL stored
away in a corner.
Now when a man Is trusted on his
honor not to saw more than his share , the
rector of All Saints' Is so skeptical of hu
man nature that he keeps a watch on him.
or. If he can't do It. hires Home member
of the family to do It for him. There are
exceptions , but as a usual thing , half an
hour later the ono on guard comes In and
gives warning that the man "Is sawing up
the whole wood pile , " and then Mr. Mackay
goes around the house and drives him
away.
Sometimes , as ho gazes at the neatly
sawed wood stowed away In various seques
tered corners of the rectory , Mr. Mackay
falls to musing as to whether his scheme
has been as brilliant a success as ex
pected. Uut of ono thing ho Is certain-he
will have to lay In it new supply of cordwood -
wood soon , or have the cook apportion out
tno sticks for a quarter as she does for
the meals ,
The destruction of the famous "Iron
Ontes of the Danube river , an account o'
which was given in The Dee a few weeks
ijo , was of peculiar Interest to at leasi
ono person in Omaha. There was quite an
exodus of Omaha people to Germany dur
ing the summer and among the number was
a well known school ma'am , who proposed
to sco all It was possible to see In the short
eight weeks allotcd for the trip. This Is the
way aho passed the "Iron Gates' "
" \Vo didn't know. " she says In relating
the Incident , "until within a half hour's
rldo of them that the gates wore beyond
the Hungarian boundary and passports were
necessary , but by the grace and quick wit
of an Lngllshman whom
we met that mornIng -
Ing on the boat I was enabled to see them
His passport read , 'Henry E. Dash. IJrltlsh
Subject , and when it was found that na&s-
ports would uo demanded and I had none ho
said :
' "Never mind ; I'll just show mine and
wo will both walk through. '
"Tho showing was easy enough , but the
rest of his scheme did not work so well ,
for the Omaha girl was stopped by the otn-
cer on guard , who declared that the pass
port was good for but one. The Englishman
without a moment's hesitation turned back
and holding the paper before the ofllcer's
eyes explained :
" 'That passport Is for Henry Dash and
Ilrltlsh subject. I am Henry Dash and this
lady Is the Urltish subject. '
"Tho ofllcor was confused over his mls-
take and made profuse apologies for de
taining the 'Ilrltlsh subject. ' We thought
the trick very funny and swept through the
Iron Gates with becoming dignity. Hut
when wo had to show that paper and tell
the same Ho five different times with In
creasing danger of exposure wo did not
laugh as much as wo did at first. But I
know now what It Is to bo a Hrltlsh sub
ject and bless the Englishman who saw mo
through. "
There was a Httlo scene at ono of the
local theaters a few nights ago , which was
not down on the bill. It depends on the
point of view whether It was comedy or
tragedy. To ono young woman and her
male escort , It was truly tragical , but to a
number of their friends , It has proven a
source of nover-emllng merriment. The
performance upon the stage was a tragedy.
During the mrst Intensely thrilling portion
there was a stillness out in .tho body of the
theater which was oppressive. Suddenly
a young woman , who a few moments before -
fore had been greatly Interested in the
play , gave vent to a Httlo scream , and wso
aeon to bo suffering from what appeared to
bo a fit of hysteria. The young man who
was with her and some fcmalo acquaintances
sitting near hastily escorted the young
woman to the waiting room.
"fiot it out ; get It out. " she screamed.
Her friends were at a loss to know what
was the matter and ! tried to quiet her and
at the name time to ascertain the cause of
the commotion.
Suddenly a mouse otartcd across the floor
and divining that the Httlo creature might
liaYe had something to do wltii Ills compan
ion's distress , the .young man proceeded to
kill It. While ho was thus engaged , another ,
mouse appeared. This ono was too quick
for him , and escaped. During all this tlmo
the young woman had been continuing her
hysterical exclamations , and as the last
moueo disappeared , aho falnteJ.
After she. had been revived and had re
gained ttomothlng of her usual quietude nf
manner , she explained that during the per

NKW YORK , Nov. 22. Henry Clews , bend
of the 'banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street :
In the Investment and speculative de
partments of Wall street the past week
has been one of partial reaction. It is
not strange , perhaps , that It should bo so.
I-Jvents never turn out entirely as expected ;
nnd , although there can bo no reasonable
doubt about tbo ultimate large effect of
the election upon Investment values , yet
the earlier effects do not seem likely to
appear In Just the way or tlmo that has
been anticipated. There are reasons why
these results should not take the courseof
one continuous bound , among which I
would specify thu following :
1. There bus been already a quite consid
erable advance In prices , and , In the still
conservative mood of speculation , It Is nat
ural that there should he n desire to realize
on unusually tempting prallts.
2. The icallzlnir has been quite Impor
tant In amount and of a somewhat unusual
nature. A day or two after the election
an Influential speculative clique , desirous
of realizing In order to facilitate a large
pending outsldo operation , sold out about
KiO.OOO shares of stock , which proved quite
n damper upon the first Hush of the specula
tive spirit. Also , the action of European
Investors has proved quite different from
what was expected. It now turns out that ,
among continental holders of our securi
ties , the silver Issue and the demagogic
agitation Incident to thu election canvass
had produced a feeling of distrust so de-
elded that they awaited the election of Mr.
McKlnlcy ns an opportunity favorable to
realizing on their holdings of our obliga
tions. They have acted upon that resolu
tion , and the amount of their sales on this
market since the- election Is estimated at a
net amount of about $20,000,000. It Is true
that foreign houses hero Incline to the be
lief that this return of stocks and bonds has
reached its culmination , but the market
has now to digest this unexpected external
supply. The amount of these returned se
curities may seem large In Itself , but It
Is small compared with the steady stream
nf homu Investment orders that lias been
Ilowlng In ever since the election and
which still continues. To this healthful
home demand must bn attributed the fact
that the foreign reflux has hud so little
effect upon prices.
Sf'UUT DID NOT COME.
3. There has been no spurt In the volume
of general trade corresponding to what had
been somewhat prematurely expected us
nn Immediate result of n sound money
victory. It has been largely overlooked that
the election comes In a month when the
arrangements for the fall nnd winter trade
have hern completed nnd Just before the
winding up of the year's business. So that
there has been , as yet. little trade ma
terial for tbo great revival of confidence
to opt.rate upon , and those who have cher
ished extreme hopes ns to the Immediate
effect upon the merchandise markets have
found reason to postpone their expecta
tions. In the Industries , however , the case
Is different. Theie the effect Is all that has
been expected. Orders for the spring trade
have been Immensely Increased nnd the re
sult , so far as reported to the press ( which
is only partial ) Is the resumption of work
by 303 manufacturing establishments , dis
tributed ns to trades as follows :
Iron nnd steel 113
Machinery 9
\Voodenwnre nnd lumber 33
( llnpMvare nnd potlery 13
\Voolen goods 27
Colton goods 15
Clothing 23
Carpets is
1 loots nnd shoes C
Cordnge 2
MlFcellaneoUB 100
Tol.nl 3C5
Also , In 2S,1 ! factories there has been nn
Increase of working force or nn augmenta
tion of outout. This great revival , however.
Is so widely distributed > hat It produces
at present an ineffective Impression upon
the public mind ; but It nevertheless Involves
a process which will later exhibit Itself
In an Imposing expansion of buslncs ? .
4. For the reasons just referred to. there
has so far been no material for any striking
Increase In the earnings of the railroads ,
which must wait some wt-eks or months
before they can reap the full benellt from
the new conditions. This also has checked
the ardor of unretlectlng obrcrvers.
5. The ; Interruption of Imports of gold has
continued longer than wa expected by not
a few of the habitues of Wall street. No
doubt , -this Is attributable almost entirely
to the return of securities from continental
Europe above referred to. Hut although
that movement has been unite milllclcnt to
keep exchange above the speclc-lmportlnir
point up to the present time , it Is very
doubtful whether U will much longer sur-
llco to stop the Influx of gold. For on the
one hand the return of securities seems to
have run Its course , nnd on the other hand
It has by no means stitllced to settle the
trade balance In favor of this country. Of
ficial statistics show that , from August 1
to the present time , the exoorts of mer
chandise and sliver exceeded the like Im
ports bv nhout JICO.000,000. We may reckon
the following as offsets accruing against
this creditor balance within the same
period :
Imports of gold . ' JC3.SOO.OOO
Securities returned , estimated 20,000.000
Various other debtor Items 45,000,000
Total , J12S.EOO.OOO
According to this balancing there still
remains over JSO.OOO.OOO to our favor In the
foreign trade balance : The banking Inter
ests of London , Paris nnd Dorlln appear
to bo strongly opposed to parting with
more of their gold for the- United States ,
and will probably try to manipulate the
money mnrket through the Interest rate
nnd otherwise , so as to keep their gold at
homo ; but our creditor balance Is so heavy
that It may prove only partially responsive
to such handling , nnd a renewal of gold Im
ports Is hy no means Improbable.
6. This gold question , however , has n
doubtful side as to the foreign markets for
our securities ) . Further advances In the
Hank of England ralo of Interest nro ex
pected ti"d Intimations eomo from London
of a i cs 'Ib'o C per cent late for a few weeks ,
whllo Kaffir stocks are again makhw
trouble. To say the least , therefore , frco
exports of our bonds and stocks to London
could hardly bo counted upon under such
conditions.
NOT EASY FOR HEARS.
The foregoing considerations explain the
present halt In the upward movement In
prices. At the same time , Intrinsically , the
market Is very strong. Holders are gen
erally firm In their conviction that prices
have not yet risen to a point nt all corresponding
spending to the Improvement In the funda
mental conditions affecting values. They
are not easily moved to sell by small adverse -
verso occurrences , and the "bears" find it
dlfllcult to cover their "short" sales with
out putting up prices. An upward move
ment may recur nt any tlmo If liberally
prompted , orIt .may bo left until after the
yearly settlements , a month hence. Hut ,
In either case , the material Is steadily ac
cumulating for a "bull" campaign after
thu opening of tbo new year.
There Is every reason to expect that wo
shall then sco tho'cffect of the election upon
the general trade of tbo whole country.
The mills will bo active. 11 largo distribut
ing trade will he In operation , labor' ' will
bo well employed and for the first , tlmo In
four years wo shall hrcntho the refreshing
air of n healthy trade. The banks will bo
plethoric with money. Already they hold
a surplus amounting to { 23,500,000 , and prob
ably J30.00),000. sent to the Interior durlns
the fall months , has yet to come buck to
them , BO that l ) i will open with a local
abundance of money calculated to en
courage active Investment nnd speculative
operations on the Stock exchange. More
over , the banks arc Initiating a movement
In the direction of fostering the gold basis
which , at a later stage , may prove a valua.

fidence. They are already beginning to got-
tl < T their mutual balances at tha Clearing
Hotiso In that metal. Instnnd of using legal

At the same time the strong Insistence of

NEW YORK , Nov. 21. We have had a
week of bear activity. The whole market
has been under attack dally. A Spanish
war has been hlppodromcd persistently nnd
a long list of other distresses have crowded
Into the Wall street prospect. Quotations
have receded , but not much. Some oC the
Industrial stocks have suffered most ,
New bugaboos are that congress will do
something dreadful next month. President
Cleveland. It Is declared , will write a sen
sational message. Congress will , It Is fore
cast , pass laws against the Sugar trust nml
other big corporation Interests. All this
sort of talk Is nccompanleil by violent at
tacks upon market values. Tbo short Inter.
est has largely Increased. Much talk s
heard of liquidation. Little liquidation Is
discernible. People who own Fcciultles have
gone through too many bugaboo periods to
worried by the new ones which dally nro
Invented.
Stocks on nn average now , after two
weeks of aggressive bear campaigning , arc
not as low as they were when Mr. McKln-
ley was nominated , nor even down to the
figures which ruled , on nn average , the
day before election. These arc facts that
In tbo hubbub of Wall street worry are lost
sight of. Judged by tbo bear outcries
crowding on every side the whole stock
market has drifted Into a state of demor
alization. When facts are considered a
much different situation Is disclosed.
Today's statement by New York's Asso
ciated Clearing House banks evidences how
healthful Is the condition In the monetary
world. It shows n gain In surplus reserve
approximating SH.OOO.OOO , with over $1,000,000
of specie and $7,000000 legal tenders gains.
Deposits have poured In to the extent of
practically } 22OXCOO. ) These arc figures
bigger far than Wall street anticipated.
What Is of further Importance In the
showing was that the banks had been able
to Increase during the week their loans
over $9,500,000. The significance of this Is ,
of course , amply appreciated by every busi
ness man. The bears of Wall street , how
ever , pooh-poohed the consequence of It
and only rushed forward to sell the stock
market more recklessly. They sold stocks
a fortnight ago because money was hoarded
nnd business moon could not be accommo
dated ; they sell stocks now because mil
lions are available and arc being used.
It should bo borne In mind that the fig
ures of the associated banks of New York
do not , by any means , comprehend the
funds ready for business activity , cveu it
tills center. In the Clearing House are
none of the great trust Institutions of this
city and none of the Insurance companies ,
who , as money. lenders. In normal times.
are of more consequence by a great deal
than our ClearingHouse hanks.
From every business quarter come an
nouncements of business Improvement. Evi
dences of this are multlludlnoi s While Wai' '
street carps the 'general American business
world prepares for activity and prosperity
A favorite saying 'of Jay Gould used to
bo : "Tho Iron trade Is best of all busi
ness barometers. When Iron Is In demand ,
ctneral trade cannot fall to be prosperous.
When pig Iron goes' up , security markets
will not go down. "
Iron trade Improvement Is now reported on
all sides. It Is substantial. It promises to
bo lasting. Huolness demands nro larger
than they have been. In half a dozen years.
Prices are advancing. Orders on nn In
creased sale are filed witn every Impor
tant Iron rompanv In the country. For the
first time In the .United States' history , for
eign markets are depending largely on the
outnut of American furnaces.
Advances ro far. made In pig Iron and In
finished product will soon be followed by
other advances and larger ones. This as
surances' comes from hlph'and ' conservative
authorities. Not only Great Hrltiiln and
the German states arc taking American
Iron , but Japan has taken consignments and
orders are now hero for shiploads wanted
at Calcutta.
For the first tlmo this year pig1 Iron "In
yards" output In sight shows a reduction.
Advices quoting- canvass yesterday showed
that this reduction was about IJO.OOO tons for
the" last month.
Among Iron men of consequence there Is
confidence that rvc are on the verge of great
business Improvement. They all carefully
Interpose objections to the uf. of the word
"boom. " but none the lesa their anticipa
tions are precisely what ordinary people
understand a "boom" to he.
Representatives of the Carneclo Interests
are averse to t > clng quoted. They have a
rule prohibiting1 ofllclal statements , they
sav. None the less , one of their Important
ofllcers says :
"HuNlncf-s Is good. It Is golmr to be bet
ter very. very much better. Hotter prices
will bo mado. Hotter outputs will bo re
quired , Hotter times for the whole iron trade
will follow. "
An ofllcer of the HethleheiTi company says :
"We are at the beginning of a new era for
the Iron and steel trade. Nobody has a right
to expect any overwhelming rush to start
with , hut in every substantial and lasting
way Improvement Is preparing to assert it
self. If Iron be. as Mr. Gould used to say.
the barometer of the business world , it can
bo counted upon confidently that the busi
ness world Is destined soon to enjoy vast
prosperity. "
An ollleor of the Standard Oil company
representing millions Invested In the MIs-
saba ranpo and other northwestern Iron
properties , says : "Tho Iron trade outlook
has never hitherto been so lirlght. We are
refusing to quote future prices. We count
upon activity beyond anything hitherto
known. "
As It Is In the Iron trade so It Is in all thu
rest of the business world practically. Im
provement docs not como at great bounds ,
but It comes surely , and It cranes to stay-
so conservative authorities all agree.
Chicago Interests In the stock market are
not at the moment conspicuous. Indica
tions appear , however , of the approach of
Imnortant deals In which Chlcaeo financiers
will figure largely. H. ALLAWAY.

LONDON , Nov. 22. There Is considered
to bo less probability this week of the re
newal of the drain of gold to the United
States. The Husslan demand for gold con
tinues to bo keen. Hill brokers are acting
cautiously In the face of the uncertain situation
uation/ Money rates have been fairly firm.
The troubles In tbo mining market have
restricted Stock exchange business and
prices have been' Irregular. Foreign secur-
.itles were- fairly maintained on the success
of the Spanish' " loan , the peace between
Italy and Abysslnla'nnd ' the talk of a new
Turkish loan. Argentines rose from the
senate's rejection oftho ; unification scheme.

CHICAGO , Nov. 21. The rain IP India un
settled the wheat market. Itcnt higher ,
lower and higher again In rapid fluctua
tions , like an engine without n balance
wheel , but In the end prices wctc about
He above the point they closed at yester
day. Corn and oats also made n little ad
vance , ns did also poik , lard and ribs , A
suddc-n Jump of 9io per bu , in the prlco
of wheat during the course of the first ten
minutes' trading was n great surprlsti. Two
Items of the early news were so distinctly
bearish Hint nn Immediate heavy decline
would have orcmed perfectly natural , nnd
the crowd would have approved It , In
stead of that , December , which closed yes
terday at from TiVic to 753ie. did not sell
lower nt the opening thnn lo it * . nnd in ten
minutes thereafter was tip lo ItfUe. A dis
patch from Homtmy raid that n good rain
had fallen tht-rc and throughout thru sec
tion nnd that prices of grain were rapidly
falling , Further details of the rain In India
from Allahabad describe tbo wldcsproai
area succored by the rainfall and Hit ; pros
pcct of Its continuance and furthct exten
sion. The- effect of that news upon the
Liverpool wheat mnrket wns to cause n
decline of 2d per cental , or about Zc per
bu. , below the closing price of the ditj
before. Even with these depressing fea
tures before them , the traders bought
freely. John Cudnhy was a good buyer
and , ns his trading always commands more
or less of a following , the buying wn : suf
ficiently heavy to cause the advance. Hut
the offerings grew ns the prlco Improved
Holh the northwestern operators and for
eigners wcro hcnvy sellers , and In th next
hour and a half the prlco of December
had dropped to 74'/ic , hut there It rested
The expectation of a decrease In the visible
supply being shown on Monday la have
token place this week , with a likelihood of
n steady dccreaso for the remainder of the
crop year , made the' traders pause In tbeli
selling when December got down to thai
point. It gradually recovered again , untl
It once moro reached u point about % c
higher than yesterday's closing price , or
TnTfec , where It closed. The- excellent New
York bank statement was also Intluontla
In the closing strength.
Corn was fairly active and steady , keepIng -
Ing within a narrow range until near the
close , when It sold up , and closed ' , e bet
ter than the closeyesterday. . The action
of wheat was the controlling Influence.
May opened a shade lower nt 2Gjc , soli'
between "G c and 27c , closing steady at
from 2CT4c to 27c.
Offerings of oats wore light and u qulcl
session was passed. The market displayed
n firm tone , and prices closed from Uo to
Uc higher than they did yesterday , inalnb
In sympathy with wheat. May opened un
changed at 21'c and sold up to 21jc , where
It closed.
Only a moderate business was done In
provisions. The opening was at a sllghl
advance on the better prices prevailing al
the yards nnd the much lighter receipts ol
hogs. Good support was given throughout
and prices closed at near the top prlees.

OAtTI. 13 There was tbo tistinl Saturday's
run and the usual Saturday's market , am
wnen that is said the whole ground In jinic
tlenlly covered. There were about HK
cuttle on sale and they changed bands In
good season and nt snUrffncuiry prices.
Aside from n few odds and ends there
were only two loads of native beef Mccru
which sold nt Jl.l.r > and $4.25. and one loa <
of westerns at J3 on the market. The prices
paid were strong MS compared with yestcr
day.
There wove about eight loads of eowr
mid heifers on sale , which brought Urn
prices , the demand being good olid thi.
trade active.
Only a few stacker ? and reeders were
offered , and. as usual at the close of the
week , the demand was a Httlo slack. At
the pamo time tbrre was sulllclent Inqulrj
for cattle to clean lip the few on sale.
The cattle market at the commencement
of the week Just closed experienced n. re
verse , owing to the very heavy run li
eastern markets , and killing cattle of al
kinds sold lower. During tbo latter p.irt of
the week the tendency of values was up
ward and a considerable proportion of I In ;
loss was recovered , though not till. At this
point prices on fat cattle hold up well In
comparison to other markets , owing to the
extremely light receipts' . There have not
been enough cattle here to keep tbo packIng -
Ing houses running and the packers have
been forced to ship In u good many cattle
from other markets.
The demand for feeders was Rood on
every dny of the past week and fully up
to or In excess of the receipts. The coun
try evidently wants cattle and Is willing to
pay good prices for desirable feeders , but
It begins to look very much as If the supply
would be Inadequate.
I1OOS Conipnreit with what ihc receipts iinvo
oeen nil tm > wed < , there WIIP a very fiilr rim
or IIOKH toilay , In fact , the laiwH nlnce WcJnw-
