i If Oeorgo II. Thummol. the new United
! Plate * marshal , takes the oath of ofllco today ,
( as Is expected , ho will be the seventh marshal
for this district alnco Nebraska became a
i slate Six have preceded him , giving them
s nn average of five > ears' sen Ice each to
i cover the thirty years of statehood.
" Casper 13. Yost of this city was the first
marshal appointed for the dUtrlct. after Nebraska -
. braska was admltlcel as a stato. He was also
marshal under the territorial government , ap
pointed by Lincoln March 11 , 1805 , about
f four weeks before Iho assassination of the
I president. When the state government was
organized he was reappolnted lo continue In
the ofllco by President Johnson , the date of
this appDlnlinent being .March 2S , 1SG7. In-
clJentally , Mr. Yosl was afterward postmas
ter , and ho has among his papers three com
missions from thQ United States government ,
signed respectively by Abraham Lin
coln , Andrew Johnson and U , S.
Grant. Shortly after John M. Thayer
became United Slates senalor from Nebraska
Jlr. Yost was removed and a friend of
Tha > cr's appointed in tbo person of Joseph
- T. Hovlo of Lincoln.
Hoylo signified his entiance Into the olllco
by having a sign painted , the painter fol
lowing copy , and which read when com
pleted' "United States Martial. " Mr. Iloylo
died about two years ngo at his homo in
Lincoln shortly after the completion of a
criminal trial In thd United States court , ho
being a member ot the jury. Ho served aa
marshal about four jcars and was replaced
by William Dalley of Nemalm county.
Mr. Uallcy was appointed 'In 1872 , as near
as can bo learned. He served till 1880. Alvln
Sai'mlcra was senator then and he rccoin-
jncuitled St. A. D. Ualcombo of Ouialia for ap-
liolntment , but the appointment was not con
firmed by the bcnale' . The senator then
had the name of 0 II Halloa sent In for
the position , but the senate adjourned before
. . taking aUbn on that nomination. In the
' meantime Mr. Dalley had received an In-
, f tcrrekmim appointment from Justice Miller
of the United States supreme court. In the
latter part of 1SBO Mr. Dalley resigned the
place and 13. L. I3Ierbo\ of Omaha , who
had been deputy marshal , was appointed 'to
Hcrvo until the president eould make an ap
pointment. Mr. Dalloy has since been dep
uty oil Inspector under Governor Holcomb.
DDI'UTY IS 1'JIOMOTCD.
Mr nierbower's first appointment was
made In November , 18SO. After the meeting
of congress In the following month he was
ro-appolntcd by President Hayes , and con
firmed. On Kebiuary 9 , 1885 , he was ap
pointed for another term by President Ar
thur. Mr. Cleveland came In olllce Hie fol
lowing monlh , bul Jlr. lllcrbower was al
lowed to serve out the term. He served con
tinuously till June 20 , 18S9 , although Drad
D Slaughter was appointed by President
Harr'HOn In the carlj part of that year. Hut
court was in hession al the time this ap
pointment was made and it was not con
venient to make the clnnge then and by
mutual consent Mr. Itelrbower continued , re
ceiving the necessary authority from Justice
iMlllei , as was done In the caee of his
predecessor.
Mr. Slaughter was appointed from Fullerton -
ton , and was serving In the capacity of chief
clerk eif the house of leprcscntatives in the
state legislature when the announcement of
the arpolntmenl was made. As his prede
cessor would continue In office till the close
of the term of court then In session , Brad
did likewise , by continuing the clerkship till
the close of the legislative session. He
served four years and shortly after leaving
Ihe ofllce was appointee ! receiver for the
Lincoln Street Railway company , a position
he still holds.
Francis C. White , the sixth marshal , and
the only democrat who ever held the place
was appointed from Plattsmouth , where he
has continued to live throughout his term , on
March 27 , 1893 , bul did not take charge of
the olllco till April 4 , following. During his
term he had to cope with the commonweal
army , several branches of which crossed the
state a few years ago. The most Important
civil suit In which ho acted ofDcIally was
the case of Iho governmenl agalnsl Ihe rail
road companies for a forfeiture of land
grants. Tlore were about 3,000 defendants
in the three cases , which kept the marshal's
force busy for several weeks.
UKUNION OI1 THR MARSHALS.
Five of the six marshals are still living ,
Mr. Hoyle having died about two years ago.
A short lime before his death all of HIP
marshals met In Lincoln one day wlthoul
previous arrangement. Each had bushiest
which called him to the capital city anil on
arriving trure found the others there also.
It was Iho only time the Incident occurred.
During ihls Ihlrty years , and up till last
July , the maiahal depended upon fees for
his salary , which was limited to $5,000 a
jcar. It Is not recorded that any of the
onicers had any Irouble In making the full
limit allowed them and the ofllco was con
sidered about the best In the federal list
In Nebraska. On July 1 last the new salar >
bill went Into effect which provides a fixed
ealary of $3,500 a year paid direct by the
government.
There was a time , too , when the number
of deputies was limited only by the wish
of the marshal , but now when a now deputy
is to be appointed the department of Justice
at Washington must bo convinced thai the
ofllcrr Is needed by the demands of the bus-
Incca. At the present time there are five1
field deputies , and they are limited to a snl-
nry of $1,200 d year , which they must make
( rom fees.
Willie on the subject of deputies , the five
who have , been In the Held under Marshal
White wcro in the city last Saturday hold
ing tholr last reunion. Incidentally , too ,
they received their last check from the mar
shal for services rendered , The five were
Doehnie of Omaha , Hubbard of Lincoln ,
Tomllnson of Hed Cloud , Thresher of Platts-
mouth and Llddlard of Hushvllio.
13. A. Coggeshall. the chief deputy , saja
lie han It from Indisputable authority that
lie is on the civil service list , and that If
lie shall ba removed the party taking his
place will have had to pats an examination
nnd will be rccommemlfd with two others
by the civil service commission , from whom
the now maralial may make H selection. This

South Omaha Naws
Councilman Caldwell of the Fourth ward
has announced that he will , al the meeting
ot the city council lonlght , Introduce nn
ordinance granting a franchise to the South
Omaha Gas company. The corporators of
this eorrpany are James Gilbert , 11 , E. Wit-
cox , Daniel Cameron , I ) l . Holmes nnd M.
I ) Hyde. Mr. Ollbcrl Is gas Inspector In
Omaha , H. E. Wllcox Is a well known rental
agent hero. Dan Cameron la superintendent
al Ihe Cudahy Packing company , U. 1
Holmes Is ono of the proprietors of a livery
glablo In thin city and M. D. Hyde Is an
Omaha attorney. H Is claimed that there Is
plenty of money behind tin scheme , although
not ono of the Incorporators Is listed In
Urndstreel's. The gas company will , It Is
understood , furnish free light to the city
ofllcre and fire halts In return for the fran
chise which , Ihceo Interested expect , will bo
granted by the council this evening ,
Just hOAf the new company expects to
make Its money Is not apparent to an out
sider. The city's contract with the electric
llghl company for street lighting docs nol
expire until July 15 , 1900 , nnd It Is nol
thought that enough coutd be made from
private consumers to pay for putting in n
plant.
The amount allowed by law for lighting
will not permit both gas nnd electric lights
to be used by the city , as the charter pro
vides thai a levy nol to exceed 5 mills In any
one jear tuny bo made tor tlo purpose ol
piylng the cost of lighting the streets nnd
alleys of the city.
Last year the council made a levy of 4
mills for lighting pin poses , which brought
Into the treasury the sum of JC.4I1. which
was 85 per cent of the total levy for lighting ,
This amount Is nol enough to pay for the
lights now In use , as the lighting fund will
be exliiustexl by June 1 , leaving a two
months' shortage to bo paM otit ot the 1S97
levy , which becomes available In August.
Under the present system of lighting the
city's bills amount to something over $500
a month. Forty-one street arc lights arc
now In use besides Incandescent lamps at
the city hall , jail nnd fire halls.
The opinion prevails that the gas eorrpany
Is all a blulT and has been organized for Iho
purpose ! of selling oul to the electric light
people. Some , Mwover , assert thai the
Omaha Gas company Is behind the deal and
It llml Is Iho case Iheru is a good show for
a planl being built.

The voters of the city have not up to the
present tlmo taken any Interest In the school
bond proposition , which will bo voted on
April 0. Members of the Board ot Educa
tion will submit the proposition to vote $15-
000 In bonds for the purpose of building addi
tions to two of the ? school houses , 'which ' nro
overcrowded , awd making other needed 'Im
provements. Should the bonds fall to carry
the levy for school purposes will be ralbcd lethe
the limit , bul assurance is given Ihat If the
people vote the bonds a lower levy will be
made. This school district Is as yet unen
cumbered and there will bo no dllllculty , It
Is said , 'in selling the bonds al a premium.
Ihei bonds , If voted , will run for twenty
years and will draw G per cent Interest an
nually. It was thought that by placing the
Interest at a reasonably high figure a bet
ter premium would bo paid for the bonds nnd
loss difficulty would be experienced In sell
ing them.
Thrco boxes will be pocessary to contain
the ballotb at the coming election , ono for
votes for coune'llmen , ono for members of the
Board of Educallon , and one for the- vote on
the bonds. As the city owns only eighteen
ballot boxes It will bo necessary for the
clerk to borrow nine boxes from Omaha.
Some tlmo ago It was announced that the
Judges and clerks of election would not have
to cottiil the vote on the bonds , as that work
would be elono by the Board ot Education.
Attorneys who have looked up the law on
the matter assert that the votes will Imvo to
bo counted by the Judges and clerks , the
members of the Board of Education merely
canvassing the vote at a later date.
Section 4 of the election laws of Nebraska
provides thai ballots authorizing the Issuance
of bondo shall in all cases be deposited In
bxes especially prepared for that purpose
and bo received and returns made by the
regular election board , but shall be canvassed
by the Board of Education. This la Inter
preted to mean that the members of the
Board of Education shall merely verify the
count of the Judges and clerks. A majority
of all the votes cast will be necessary to
carry the bonds.

NEW YOUK. March 2S.-IIonry Clews ,
head of the banking housa of Henry Glows
& Co. , writes ; In Wall street the con
trolling event of the vveek has been the de
cision of Hie United States supreme court
In the cnsc attains ! the Transmlssourl
Freight association , declaring Its acts and
purposes to be In violation of Ihv Sherman
anti-trust law. On the street the decision
was quite generally construed us probably
Invalidating nil like associations formed for
the purposes of regulating the freight rates
and the tralllc of railroads , and therefore
as calculated to throw railroad operations
Into confusion and possibly precipitate a
cutting of rates and loss to the railroads.
As the market happened to be antecedently
disposed toward a realization of profits upon
the late rise In prices , the "bears" took
advantage of the situation and succeeded
In reducing prices on an average of 2 and
4 points.
l-'or the present this selling has probably
reached Its climax , and thu disposition Is
to await further developments , showing the
real significance of the decision to other
freight associations and affording Indica
tions us to what steps the railroads arc
likely to take to preserve future harmony
and prevent demoralization , rortunatcly ,
the ( , oed faith wltlt which the Eastern as
sociation has observed Its regulations evi
dences an earnest desire on the p.irt of Ha
members to avoid a. iccurrcnco to reckless
competition ; and , so long as that feeling
exists , there Is good reason to hope that ,
whatever may be done or not done , there
will be no resort to a war of rates.
The decision of the court Is exceedingly
broad and radical , and confirms the con
stitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust
law. It Is to be regretted th.it the court
was not more unanimous , only live of lla
nine members being prepared to alllrm that
freight associations camp within the scope
oC the Sherman law. While the court af
firmed Its power to adjudicate In the case
by virtue ? of the Interstate commeico act ,
yet It reiterated Its i st decision that , ex
cepting In cases over which the latter law
ghcs It jurisdiction , adjudication upon
combinations "In restraint of trade' ' come
exclusively within the province of state
law and state courts. This almost unan
imous endorsement of the principle and
constitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust
law Is calculated to have a very Important
bearing uixm the action of the states to
ward Industrial "trusts" and monopolistic
combinations generally , and also trades
unlonH. The decision affords the highest
possible confirmation of the principle of the
null-monopoly federal law ; It gives sanc
tion to a form of act which the states maj
s.ifely adopt for the prevention and ab
rogation of "trust" Institutions ; and It es
tablishes a precedent of the highest foice
for the guidance of state courts In dealing
with Institutions alleged to bo "In restraint
of trade , " the more so as It contains it full
and explicit definition of what things are
to be regai ded as being "In restraint of
trade. " In these Important respects the
decision has even a more threatening sig
nificance for the Industrial combinations
than It has for the associations intended for
the regulation of railroad tralllc. In respect
to the tralllc associations other than the
Transmlssotirl , it may possibly prove that
differences from thei latter In org.mteatlon
and scope will bo found to exempt them
from thu application of the Sherman law ,
and , falling that , there would remain other
alternative methods of regulating competi
tion which they could adopt without violating
lating law. But the many Induslilal mo
nopolies have no such ways of escape. The
highest court ot the land has declared them
to be In violation of fundamental law ; and ,
after that , there seems to be a slim chance
for their escaping ultimate prohibition.
The railroads are of course greatly dis
concerted by itho decision and as yet have
been unable to decide what Is their best
course under the circumstances. It is open
to them to wait until they have been
brou iit Into the supreme court ; which
might como about either through an appeal
against the recent decision In favor of the
Joint Tratllc association In a local federal
court , or through a new suit against them ;
or by a test suit at their own Instigation
They are at present taking legal counsel
upon the situation and will probably take
no action until all the legal aspects have
been placed before them. The presidents
of some of the companies , however , seem
to ihave allowed their fright to get the bet
ter of their judgment and are said to be
counseling a dissolution of the association
This Is unfortunate , as such a course would
break bonds which at present are holding
the companies In harmony and would Invite
the risks ot unbridled competition. For the
sake of preventing confusion , the existing
organization should be kept up until either
some new arrangement is provided In Its
place , or it Is dissolved by a legal verdict.
During that Interval peace would be pre
served , confidence would be protected , co-
0 > ortunity would be afforded for delibera
tion and the companies -would be held to
harmonious relations * wtlle they considered
new plans for co-operative protection.
It seems to me that the fright to 'Which
the decision has given rise has exceeded all
lepltlmate occasion. It can only be ex
plained on the ground that , when any mls-
rortune happens , the first thought Is always
to discount the worst possible outcome. This
ia' already been done In this case , and
now that the stage of cool deliberation has
been reached , itwill bo seen to be mcrelj
a question of what is the best way out of
the dilemma. This , however , must depend
upon whether managers keep their heads
? oo\ \ , hold together under their existing re
lations and abstain from cutting of rates.
This granted , there will be no occasion for
rnrjier misgivings , and the end of the trou
ble -will probably be Foon reached by a new
agreement that -will run foul of no existing
law.
In some quarters It H suggested that the
railroads carry their case to congress , In
the way of aH'/lngu law that will authorize
some such co-operative arrangements as
now exist ; which might not be a bad course ,
> rovlded they felt more free than they have
jeen to co-operato with the Interstate coin-
ml'-sloncrs
If the Joint Tralllc association will vote
to disband and then como together as a
board of council and hold their meetings
as such , merely recommending the result
of their deliberations to the ho.mlx of dliec.
tors of the various roads representid In
the board of council for their voluntary
ictlon , the recent decision of the United
3tate.s supreme court cannot icach them ,
in my judgment , PH eclally If they set forth
the fact tnat whatever recommendation
they make IP not for the purpose of main
taining rates , but simply of Influencing'
uniformity and Hlablllty ; and if the rate ?
are kept on a low bawls , as at present , thcj
can be regulaUil just an well as they an1
now under this trafllc association plan All
penalties must bn dropped , however , and
they must act on a basis of honor amons
themselves There certainly can be no ac
tion taken against such a method. If
adopted under tin recent United States
nuprnn.i > court decision , as no complaint
can bo entered n Kill not them for restraining
trade or commerce. All the western com
pacts can bo managed In the same way
A better feeling nnw prevail ! d In the for

Wall street lately has been elolng Its ul
most to be > bullish. Some little show of nc
tlvlty was worked up. Hurrahs over the
Lake Shore rerunning scheme Induced even
somothlng- like buoyancy throughout the
whole list. Stocks In no way relate 1 to Like

list of properties which only silly people
could figure out ns Vanderbllts were
boomed. Some of thqm were put up mntcrl
ally The street was full of wliat the strce
called enthusiasm. Finally a Wall strce

scaics hnet spent their force after Ctlb-u
complications hail been played out , after i
big lot of bear games had fallen ll.it Paper
profits accumulated wholly apart from the
reasonableness of the nuw campaign. I
certainly did mike show of enthu l ism
bul Itwas nn enthusiasm only of Wai
street Itself , for the public refused utterly
to respond. Wall strcul bro'tcr.ipo houses
stayed empty. Lambs vvero shy. The br.ibs
band strutted without a procession.
DHCISION IS A 1JODY HLOW.
Thus the Transmlssourl decision , with it
rnellcil elcclaratlons came as a body blow
to Wall street professionalism.
All the talkative speculators of the Stock
exchange hid grouped themselves upon the
bull side , proclaiming that finally good
times had arrived , nnd thil a buoyant out
burst In the- financial world was already nl
hand. Wltfil detail U had boon figured oul
thai the great rallio.uls of the west would
now resume profit nnklng. Much stre"-
was laid LIXJII the fact that practically foi
the first time In American railroad history
the gieal corporations , taught by bitter ex
perience1 , were readyto act In concert and
e-omblnatlon ; that rates could bo regulated ,
that demoralizing qompetltlon could be sup
pressed ; that agreements could be enforced
This was almost the cornerstone of the new
bull market. Identified with it was the
proposition that thu Installation of the new
national adnilnl triton , | must prove benefi
cial to every Intel estA.a theory to which
intelligent business men were1 quite wllllnp
to subscribe , though such business "men of
Intelligence were of ejourse , calnt cnousli
to deem It wise tOjwalt for accomplishment
rather than to riinhi Torn mil. affecting-
be able to capitalize prosperity In ndv nice
Professional Wull street , In inking Its
stand for a quick e'liansc In the spirit of
Iho market , took 'a Stand full of consequences
quences beyonel whntany superficial con
sideration of It might HURffest. Wall street
since the panic times of 1S93 has been
stearlly growing poorer-and poorer. It has
been living- upon ilself. Occasionally
spasms of hope htvye ( Some In , but always
uniformly to prove' delusive nnd "expensive "
The averag-e speculator In Wall streel to
day is a speculator without funds III hand
or resources available. This Is not quite
according- the theories of eulogists or
"enemies of Wall street , but it tells what
the > Iruth Is.
Thus It was thai the average nllcndanl
upon Stock exchange proceedings took ex
treme chances In stakinganything - nt all
upon the recent promising- course of the
market. The petering- out of that antici
pated boom leaves professional Wall fatreet
poorer than ever piactlcally a plucked
gooso.
Moro lhan half Ihe tlmo of officers ot the
Stoek exchnnrt9 ! Is devoted now to theoriz
ing about how they can get back old-time
business anel make pldtlmeprofits They
lay much of their sorrows to the aggres
siveness of bucket-shop competition.
The refuse to face tire controllingfact -
thai the Stock oxchang-e has enrneel the
penalties It Is paylnp , earned them through
years of continual acquiescence In depre
dating * upon Iho Investingpublic. . Half a
dozen groups of stock makers have used thr
Stock exchange to such personal advantage
that today vast fortunes represent the un-
'oadlnfr of worthless stocks and bonds upon
the public through facilities provided by
Stock exchange machinery. Thus the pub
lic has grown wary , Its purse filcheel. Thus
Wall street In all Its less quarters 1ms
suffered correspondlncly. for among the
buyers of "securities , " yielding- only fore
closures nnd assessments , the outside pub-
Ie- has had thf partnership of an army of
Wall street professionals , who have thought
themselves superior lo the play nf thf
loaded dice. Such speculators showed
bravery In taking the-lr recent stand , for
they practically were- risking mowt re'tnlin
ing hopes and fortunes. To hee their "Vnn-
dcrblll boom" of a sudden collapse is to
see the making1 of a sorry chapter In AVall
street.
CHICAGO HAS HHCN nnARISIT.
Chicago has not figured much In the mar
ket this week , so far as any superficial
view of the market can disclose. All of the-
private dispatches coming to Wall street
from Chicago , however , or practically all ,
haVti been bearish In tone , anel especially
upon the crangcr railroads.
Some selling'nas appeared In Jersev Cen

CATTLC There were sl\ty cars of cattli
In the yards , a veiy fair run for the las
day of the week , and thai fact constltutei
about the only satlsfactoiy feature In con.
nectlon with the daj's trade In cattle. The
m.irkut on killing cattle was dull and lowci
and the trade was In a very unsatlsfactorj
condition , viewed from a seller's standpoint
The bujers started out bidding lOc lower
for fat cattle and as salesmen were no.
ready to make any such concession the' '
movement of cattle toward the scales was
very slow. In fact , the maiket was dull
all the morning , and It was late before
anything like a clearance was effected
The cattle here were mostly of fair to
medium quality , and the bulk sold at $103
to $1 Art } .
The market on Iho general run of cows
and heifers was also weak and lowei In
sjmpalhy with the decline on steers. The
best helfcis and fat cows did not sell
much dmcrent from yesterday. The mar
ket on butchers' stock was fairly active
and the offerings foi the most part WCIL
taken In good season.
Very few stockers and feeders were to be
liad among the flesh receipts , and the mar
ket on that kind of cattle was fully steadj
The cattle market the past week wits
very favoiablo to sellers up to the last two
days. The demand was of very llbcra ,
proportions , and fully equal to the receipts
so that each dav's arrivals met with re.uH
sale at strong mIres. On the l.-t two dnj's
of the week the market eased off , and at the
end of the week It was about 15c lower
on beet steers than the high point. The
most of the cattle recchod could only be
graded as of fair to medium quality , and
none of them choice or prime. The fact
that cattle arc now selling at prices that
are remuneratho to feeders seems to bi
.mincing . the Hhlpmc.nl of a good many cattle
befoie they are ripe for market.
Cows and heifers sold well all the week ,
nn < l the pi ices piid for that kind of cattle
wcro highly satisfactorr to selleis. At the
end of the week values eased off a little
in sympathy with the decline on beef steers
The greatest strength was developed In
the feeder market , cattle of that description
selling freely all the week at the extreme
lilgh prices. The demand was most active
for light cattle , while big , heavy feeders
were not quite such ready sellers , still
there vvcre not enough of the latter to
admit of their accumulation.
HOGS Uecclpts of hogs were liberal , nnd It
\\ns the last day of the week , n combination

CHICAGO , .March 27. All speculative
markets today , with the possible excep
tion of provisions , were remarkable only
for their dullness. In vvheal prop reports
were of a better tone , but the market closed
ut only a ' c decline. Corn closed un-
ehnnged , oats a shade lowci and provlslonB
from 2Vic to 7'XiC ' lower.
In wheat thu Liverpool market was firm
and 'id higher this morning , but the north
western receipts were heavy and there were
reports Irom sections of Indiana where
the crop promises well saying that such
w.is the case. With that and nothing more
to start with , the opposing parties In the
market tugged nnd pulled at It In an in
termittent way -without moving- far on
either side of the clmlk line marked as
the resting place of the day before. The
statistics of the elay's anel week's movement
wcro more favorable to the bulls than to
the bears , taken altogether. The week's
clearances of wheat nnd flour from both
coasts were given nt 1,7-19,419 bu , against
1,029,000 bu. the week before and 1.744,000
bu. for the corrcbpondlng week of last
year. The Argentine wheat shipments for
the week were2.M.OOO bu , compared with
1,130,000 bu. the like week of IMlG. The-
day'H clearances of wheat nnd flour from
the principal Atlantic potts amounted to
the equivalent of 393,000 bu. The Chlcapo
receipts numbered seven cars and 62,000
bu. were withdrawn from store. Minneap
olis and Uuluth posted 44U cars received ,
against .172 a week ago and 40S the same
day of the previous year. It was repoited' '
that 150,000 nu. of wheat were sold at lu-
luth for export , but the reports from the
seaboard were not encouraging ns to the
prospect of export buHlne&s. May opened
11 shade ) under yesterday's closing prlee , at
from 72)4o to 72'4c. It slowly rallied to
from 71c to 7tVBc , and then gradually
slipped down again , with very little In
terest attending the advance or subsequent
decline. May was bringing 724c at the
rlose. after having sold at from 7J5 c to
Corn was almost lifeless and kept within
a " 4c range. Exports were again large ,
74jOOO bu. This caused thu market to open
at figures a .shade higher than yeste-rday's
close , end this mark was not dev'atud ' froii.
May opened at from 24Ue to 24'ie , and W.IH
hi Inning- that price at the close.
Uuslnesawas dull In oatu , even to a
greater extent than usually characterizes
a Hhort KCHsIon. The tendency was toward
firmness e-iuly , but reversed later nnd the
feeling aye-raged steady for the day May
opened unchanged at 17'j.c , touched 17W
