CHICAGO , Fob. 1. Whcnt was rndlcallj
weak at tlio opening today , but recoverei
Ic per foil , from the foottom prices before
the session wns over. It wns still , however
lUo lower In llio end than It closed Satur
day. All the , troiifolc" wnn caused fey the
Liverpool c.ibles , the forcnk in Unit mnrkcl
resulted In almost
liclnrt so unexpected Hint It
most complete demoralization for a time ,
Corn and oala maintained their previous
wenk nnd declined
values , foul provisions were
clined 7'i'510c ' ' ,
Wheat holders were struck wllh a feelIng -
Ing of panic1 , when It was found that notwithstanding -
withstanding the ? 4c advance per bu. here
Id lower this
Saturday , Llve-rpool came
morning. The consequence wns that Slay ,
which Saturday closed nt 73',4c ' , wns _ fet
sale at the opening today at from 74VSe
down to 7.14o nnd some us low ns 7Hc ,
Haying orders even at sueili n material con.
cession In price were eiulte scarce for nfooul
nil hour and before the market showed n
KUlllclent degree of strength to stop the
e-ontlnuntlon of the decline the prlco got
down to 7.TOC , or within -c of the lowest
point It toucheil last week. A sudden In
crease In the- north west receipts was any
thing foul reassuring to tlio bulls Minne
apolis and Uiililth re-ported 421 cars com-
p.ired with only ISTi last week and Oil cars
on corresponding day of the year foe-
fore. HevelptH ut Chicago , however , were
only 30 pars. The weakness at Liverpool
was apparently caused by un Increase of
} > 72uiO ( foil. In stocks there- , though why the
market should make a big break for such
u reason was some what of n mystery to
tradci-H. Whrn the- scramble ceased a slow
i-ncove-ry to 7-t''si/7c : took place , helped
liy the foettcr tone of "the late news.
World's shipments ot about 5.500,000 were
expected , but the figures when finally an
nounced showed n total of only -1,083,000 bu. ,
of which 2r.l-ioo foil , cnmn from this coun
try. The quantity on ocean passage In
creased 100,000 foil. , Instead of docreaslns
heavily , as was expected. Atlantic port
clearances since- Saturday were unusually
liberal at the riiulvulont In wheat and flour
of ( TAOOO fou. The domestic visible supply
tie-creased 1,701,000 foil. , Instead of about
7MOOO fou. , which was the expected reduc
tion early In theday. . This sort of news
gradually restored the confidence ) of trail
ers , and though there were several small
re-nclliins , the general trend was toward
n. recovery. May finally got back to 74'ilQ
7140 , and e-losed there.
The transactions In corn were n little *
lieavtcr than the recent average and con
sidering the severe drop In wheat , the mar
ket may bei salel lo hnvn been remarkably
firm Local scalpers started as sellers be
cause of the break In wheat , but their offer
ings wen- quickly taken and prices were
steady for the balance of the session. May
opened Uc lower at from 23e to 2lc anel
advanced to SlVic , where It closed.
Oats opencel wcnk with wheat and re
mained so- for a time' . It then recovered
nnd closed Just where It did Saturday.
Htiylng by shorts was the principal cause
for the rally and considerable business was
transacted. May opened about Me lower nt
from 17'i ; < ; to nftc , Bold to ISc and closed
at from 17Tff , to ISe.
Piovlslons were emphatically wc-ak all
day. The weak tone of the bog market
added to the semi-panicky opening In
. wheat. The market starled nt u decline
whleh was Increaseel as me elay woreon. .
Hotli packers and professionals were llfo-
eral Hellers and Ihe market closed at sub
stantially bottom prices. At the close May
pork was lOu lower at $7.72'A , May lard
about 7Vje lower at J3.)2'i ! ) and May ribs
7'ic lower at $3.92l4ft3.S3.

cars ; corn , 720 cars ; oats , -113 cars ; hogs ,

CATTLK The receipts of cattle were
light today , only about llfty loads all told
being reported In , hardly enough of anyone
ono Itlnel to niako a fair test of the mar
ket.
ket.Of the cattle hero about fifteen loads
were cornfcd steers , thu most of them only
common to fair stuff. The demand was
fair , and as offerings \\ero so light , the
fcolitiK on the market was decidedly bU-
ter , and really desirable beovcs sold n lit
tle higher. One pretty fair load sold at
JI.40.
Cows and heifers sold just about steady ,
with Saturday , and the trade was soon
over with.
In the feeder division there was a little
moro life than has been the case for a
few days back. Speculators were pretty
well sold out. nnd e/very one wanted a few
cattle to begin the week on. Consequently
all were out early 'and the supply on sale
was soon exhausted , the prices paid being
strong as compared with the close of last
week. Representative sales :

mla of distress. About ten men uru on the
AMUSEAIENTS.
An audience which filled the Crclghtor
thentcr from stage to uttermost gallery
bench ; an audience which well-high Mis
tered Its bare nnd kid-gloved hands In It !
demonstrative enthusiasm ; an audience
which In size and quality and deep and
thorough appreciation of what It enw nnil
heard , has never been surpassed In Omnh.y
Such an audience did honor last night to
Lillian Nordlca , tlio prlma donna soprano
who has the courage to sign hurdclt Amer
ican ; to Sofia Scalchl , who comes nearer to
being the Idol of nil American hearts tlun
any contralto now living ; to their male
associates In the present concert tour ; to
Homer Moore , whoso efforts ma.lo tills
event possible , and to the Omaha Musical
society , under the auspices of whlcn the
concert wns given. The most comj'lrle
good feeling prevailed , caught by the
singers from the audience or by the nud'ciirn '
from the singers , nnd passed about nnd In
terchanged until stage and auditorium were
one In pleasurable excitement. Surely
never were singers more prodigal of their
vocal treasures , and never were lls'eners
more eager for a feast , the like of wlils'i ' "anil
been long denied them.
Mine. Nordlcn , In the four years that have
passed since she was heard In Omaha , haa
been steadily growing In artistic stature
and In popular favor. Sincere and honest
she has always been , nnd the ImpulblvoiiOfa
which formerly distinguished her Is still n
characteristic of her work. She docs not
disdain enthusiasm , oven In a concert pro
gram. Hut If she was not great before she
may fairly clnlm greatness now. There Is
n poise and self-command and authority
which used not to be so evident , and which
In her very entrance nnd attitude of walling
for thu Instrumental Introduction prepares
one for the exquisite vncnl display which
follows. She has become n finished and
brilliant dramatic singer , with n power that
will not be gainsaid nnd a surcncss nnd
firmness of touch such ns experience gives
to genius like hers ; and thereto she adds a
personality so sweet nnd gracious nnd
womn'nly that the sight of her tills nnd
satisfies tlio eye ns the car Is charmed by
her golden voice. She was heard last night
In a range of numbers calculated to try her
versatility severely. Indued , the program ,
including nil the encores , showed n sur
prising diversity of subjects. Mine. Xordlca
herself dropped with all apparent case from
the sonorous music of "St. Hrszobeth"
which a locnl musician admiringly desig
nated "nn unknown nrla from mi unknown
opera by an unknown composer" to the
soothing cadences of a lullaby by the alto
gether admirable Mr. Luckstonc , and roae
again without difficulty from the vocal cm-
broldcrle.i of "Where the bee sucks" to the
exacting solo part In the Wagner con
certed number which closed the program.
She was half a dozen times recalled after
her first solo , nnd. slut sang ngnln thrice In
response to the tumultuous applause which
each song only augmented. First the tender
cradle song Just mentioned , then the little
mocking chansonette of love which she sans
hero four years ago , and last of all "Where
the bee sucks. " Besides these , she carried
the soprano part In the "Ulgoletto" quartet
and In the "Lohengrin" finale. In each she
afforded greater pleasure. If possible , than
la the others. And In leavli'g Omaha she
has le'ft a city full of her frlcnda. who will
follow her successes with exceeding Inter
est and will hope that her return may not
bo too long delayed.
Mine. Scalchl's reception was not less cor
dial than that extended to her companion.
She too was many times recalled after each
o [ her two solos , and she sang not quite as
often no the people wanted her , or she
might bo singing yet , but still n good many
times. She sang the ever welcome Nobll
Signer from "Les Huguenots , " and the
" " " Remdiml" nnd
"MIgnon" polonaise- and "Ah
Gounod's "Mandollnata , " and "Annie Lau-
ilo" In an Itallan-Scotch-Kngllsh altogether
delightful : and she sans other things of
which people did Hot know the names and
did not-caie to know them so long as that
noble voice , of which the velvet Is ever so
little Impaired , would keep n singing them.
Mr. Herthald , who is pleasantly remem
bered from his connection with the brief
season of Wagner opera which Walter Dam-
rosch vouchsafed to Omaha last winter ,
sustained his excellent reputation as a tenor
en this occasion. He was sadly harassed by
the orchestra in his performance of the
Prize Song from "Die Melsteralnger , " and
thereafter wisely adhered to piano accom
paniments and Mr. Luckstone.
Mr. Dcmpsey , the baritone , made a decid
edly favorable Impression , and will bo
warmly welcomed on the occasion of his
next appearance In Omaha. He sang with
line effect Handel's superb "Honor and
Arms , " and gave as nn encore rare Den
Johnson's'rare old song "Drink to mo only
with thine eyes. " He was perhaps less
fortunate In his rendering of Mcphlstophelcs'
diabolical serenade from "Knust " although
his shortcomings were rather those of tern
pcrament than of method.
The veteran Jules Lumbard is always a
favorite with On'aha audiences. He and
Mrs. Ely were heartily applauded when they
came on for tielr part In the "Lohengrlm1'
number. The chorus showed marked lm
provement over Itu very creditable work on
former occasions , and the same may bo sali
with even more emphasis of the orchestra
which , asWc from Its unfortunate experience
with Mr. licrthald , did quite effective serv
ice throughout.
The evening wns full of pleasant happen
Ings , which tended to promote the general
good feeling. A pretty Incident was the
presentation of roses to Mine. Nordlca by
little Eugenie Whltmore , nnd the gracious
kiss with which the prlma donna rewarded
the child. Another wns ho seizing Mr.
Moore with one- hand nnd Mr. Lumbnrd by
the other , nfter Ihu "Lohengrin" number nnd
Impulilvely congratulating them. And ctlll
another was the unfeigned delight of Mine.
Scalchl at llio rapturous nature of her re
peated recalls.
Thu concert In all Its details and In Its
entirety reflected great credit on Mr. Moore ,
on the Omaha .Musical society , nnd on the
people of Omaha who patronized It so gen
erously. It may well murk Iho beginning
of a new era In the musical history of n
town which hau not heretofore contribute : !
largely to that branch of the world's knowl
edge.

A proposition to vnto bonds to the amount
if $10.000 for Improvements to school build-
ngs will most Illtcly bo submitted to the
> coplo at the spring election , and the Hoard
if Education will decide upon the amount of
ho levy without any ntslataiico from the
; ciieral public , at leant that was the result
if the Joint meeting of citizens and members
if Iho Hoard of Education held last night.
The citizens' committee , which wa op-
minted two weeks ago , to Investigate ) the
Inanclal condition of the public schoolx ,
ind Inquire Into the necessity for voting
ends for n new High school building or
iddltlonu to the school buildings , held a
nectlng EOIIIO dayo Blnco and prepared a re-
lort advocating the Issue of bonds and fixing
ho levy nt 1 mills. At a second meeting
if the committee nn error of over $15,000
van discovered In the books of the board
iiiil Instead of closing the school year with
balance In the treasury , there will bo a
leflclt of nearly ? C,000 , This fact changed
be plans of the committee so that when
ailed upon for a report last night thu com-
nlttco declined to hnnd In a written report ,
"hlu left the matter Just whuro It wns lie-
ere thi ) committee was appointed.
In order to get thu question 'before thu
oinmlttce , W. II. Cheek mndo a motion to
ha effect that bonds to thu amount of (15,000
10 voted , and that the board bo allowed
lo i e IM Judgment In the mutter of deter
mining the levy to bo mndo. In upcAklnR
for his motion , Check assorted thai the only
way out of the present financial difficulty
wns to vote bonds that additions might bo
niAde to some of the school houses , and n
levy sufficient to pay the running cxpcnucs
of the schools mndo. As for the Amount ot
the levy to bo made , Mr , Check thought that
the taxpayers ought to trust the members ot
the Hoard of Education to do what wa
right.
Member Talbot took occasion nt this point
to assure those present that ho for one would
Insist upon making the levy as low ns possi
ble.
Chairman Seykora called upon n number
of the citizens present for opinions on the
matter , but very little was said , each onct
appearing to bo holding back In hopes that
his neighbor would speak his mind. Finally
the motion wns put to n vote and wns car
ried , ten \o Ing fcr Itnnl f.vJ nfnlnit. Later
on , when It was discovered that the proceeds
from bonds could not bo used for any pur
pose but Improvements , two of the flvn
voting no changed their vote announced
themselves In favor of the motion , The
members of the board refrained from voting
on the motion.
In connection with the business of tha
evening. Member Tnlbot rcnif a lengthy re
port , showing the condition nt the school
funds nt the close of the school year , Juno

the next school year. Superintendent Munro

Mr. Vmisunt brought up the gambling
question by asserting that only two gam
bling houses had paid their line for the Inst
month. wl.llo ho had positive knowledge
that more houses were running. Cnldwcll

bling houses rested entirely with the mayor
and chief of police , nnd Intimated that If
Vninant would attend to hli own business
ho wouldbe better off. Further , It wna
not the fnult of members of the council
