It has necn many a day pilice there wus such y small allowing of stock at Mil * point , out It Is a question if It would not be better for all concerned If Saturday * ) receipt. wei o always th.it small. At all the large markets of the country SitunUy has come to b > jmictlc- nlly a holiday In the cattle trade , and Omaha has ktipt U | tho- old habit of trying to make It ) u business day ) longer than any of the others. For n long time Saturday at < hls point was n pondl day for hog receipts , but the tt-rtiptatlon Is f-o strong to pque-ezo the seller when the receipts arc largo and they are under thci necessity of selling or carrying ovcir two d.ija , that/ shippers * have beconio rather cautious about having even hogs en a Saturday's market. Si.'urday Is Jir.ictlcally a cleaning up day at other mar kets , ami th3re > Is no ni pirent reason why It should not be the -Mine hero. CATTLi ; Although Omaha had such light rcoelpts , theni i.vero more , cattle hero thin at either Chicago or Kansas City. The d- mand was good and the thirty-odd1 loads on sale nero not lo.tg In changing hands nt wood , steady prle < H. Shippers were agnln In the market , and helped local packers clfir the jardfl. The. chief characteristic of the market this wti'k 'woa the ! very gocrt demand for handy cattle ami thn light demand for coarse , heavy heave * . As might be surmised from that , Mich cuttln an would como under the general designation of "handy" sold freely on every day at the week , but Tuesday was the high day. After that the market barely he'd Its own , tome would say It cased , off a little toward the close of the Wdek. In regard to coarse , and heavy cattle there was an easier tendency all the hitter part of the week , and a growing Inclina tion on the part of the buyers to discrim inate against them. iCoiws , heifers , bulls , calves , etc. , were good , sellers nil the. 'neck at good , strong prices. In fact cow stuff has been selling high right along , antl the condition of the market on every day of the week was en tirely satisfactory to the selling Interests. Ooctl COWH "old up to WOO and as high as 94.40 was paid f on choice fat yearling heifers. No great change was noted In the fesdcr trade during : the week , as there was so little coming that the trade did not attract any great attention. Hegular operators on the market say that the. . country demand Is all right and that a good many cattle could bo Bold If the right kind wa to be had. Fewer cattle than usual liavo been handled this spring a > Ung to the scarcity. Good stock cattle are selling as well as any time , us high as $300 being paid this week.

' Fonturr * ! of tlin Triiillnir nncl VrliM-n un Sntiirdny. CHICAGO , April O.-Wheat today closed nt piactlcally unchanged figures for July ind September , but was le higher for May. The latter was helped by good cash sales. Trading was excessively dull , traders prc- urrlng to await the developments nt Wash- ngton Monday. Corn and oats were easier and closed about He lower. Provisions ad vanced sllg'ntly. With the exception of n Ilttlo activity around the opening , trading In wheat was so dull us to bo hardly worthy of mention. Thcio was a general Inclination among trndpia to nwnlt Monday's developments nt Washington befoie committing them selves very much , nnd fnls and the absence of nny Incentive In the way of any cables confined trading to a small scale. The optnlns wn < steady In July nt SlttftSSc , compared with Yesterday's closing price of SfJic. Then ? was evidently still some neiv- ousness among Mhorts on account of yes terday's heavy buying movement , but the demand from this source soon died away. Most of the speculators In t'ne pit were lio.irlshlv Inclined on account of the favor able crop icports from Ohio nnd Kentucky. The Ohio stute report put the wheat con dition nt 72 , against C7 last month , while tim Kentucky ciop condition was placed at 101. comu.ired with SI at this time last > car. AM the covurninrnt iron renoit on Monday Is oxptcted to be favorable , there was a little selling pressure put on the market fnr a short time after the opening , result- Inir In n decline to SI5tc. This was removed nnd buying stimulated somewhat by New York advices to the effect t'nnt foreigners weio good buyers there against liberal ac ceptances ot yesterday's offerings , and the price slowly recovered to S5c , the high point nf the ( lav. The local and northwest wheat movement rat'ncr favored the bulls. Mlnne. apolls nnd Duluth reported 171 cars , against 2)9 ! ) last week nnd 2S4 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 43 cars. The additions to contract stocks today were lighter than of late , amounting to but 64,000 bu. . Including 2S cars from regular source ? and 20 cars nnd 1C.COO b'u. frdm mixing houses. After the ndviincc to S3c In July the market gradually sold off again to S4'/45iSl' ' ' c under realising nnd for the rest of the session did not move Uc elt'ncr way. September followed July closely In the matter of Iluc- Umtlcms. There was a little rnvlval of In. tercst In May , which has been practically nt a standstill all week , nnd n number of trades -were made In It at Jl.OG le above yesterday's price. Letter's sales of 200,000 bu. to go abroad today , a big business con- slderlns the holiday season , was apparently a factor In this advance. The market was almost at a standstill toward the close. Corn was easier on a moderate amount of trading. Belief tnat the short Interest had been almost eliminated by yesterday's heavy buying nnd rains In the corn country , encouraged sellers , and prices ruled lower all day. Freer country offerings following the hlcher prices were also n weakening factor. May ranged from 29c to 29c , and closed He lower at 2Dc. Oats vvero dull nnd practically without features of Interest. The feeling In n gen eral way was easier with corn. Business was entirely of a scalping nature nnd price changes very narrow. May ranged from 23c to 231ac , and closed a s'nade lower at 25HCi25 > ic. Provisions were steady within n narrow ranee. Hog prices caused some advances at the opening. Under moderate selling by packers this was lost , but the demand Im proved later , market ruling steady to the close. May pork closed 5c higher at $9.87H !

NEW YOnK , April 10. Tno Financier sajs : The changes In the statement of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending April 9 , were hea\lcr than usual , but deslpte the fact that t'no opera tlona which brought them about were of a nature to decrease the cash In banks , the excess reserve at the end of t'no week stood only * fOSI,22S lower than at the close of the previous week. The largest Increase was In the deposit Item , which fell off $12.399,600 The loss In deposits was duo to the contln ued Interior mo\t ment , and to liquidation In loans , although the shrinkage of J3.0C7- 900 In this Item wns undoubtedly In par with sterling exchange transactions , by which the gold Import movement la BUS tallied. The higher rates for money have also operated to reduce the loan account nnd every decrease counts , since the banks are doing very little business In mercantile channels. The movement toward the inte rior assumed heavy proportions during the week , and the banks also lost t'nrough the sub-treasury. The decrease of J3TS9SOO In rus'n was even less than expected , but while the receipts of sold for the current week were nearly Jo000,000. the Increase wns but H.4 . & 00. The bant wlilc'n Is the larger exporter - porter of specie appears to have reduced Us gold holdings over $4.000,000. and Its deposits about X > .000,000 , the latter being one-half the total loss reported by the sixty-Ho ( clearing house Institutions. Tae coming week will decide to a great extent the future rates for money. Under present conditions the movement to the interior will continue , and M the bank * hve bceu ailed upon for the 10 per cent of the Union aclllo money on deposit , the Immediate 'Utlook In for llrmer money.

But whtii 1 > moro remarkable is the fact , as la oeldtfm'lho case , that the col lection belongs to a .gentleman who com' bines with these acquirements a persona Interest In the objects , because they had be longed to hla friend and guardian , Danle Webster , and have come to him because he was deemed to be the proper custodian o them. This gentleman Is Mr. Frederick F Hasmm , the antiquarian , father of the Beaten - ton artist ot that mine , and , during bis minority , the ward of Webster , his own fath er'e friend. These treasures , which form bu a part ot his large collection , were loanei for the purpose of exhibition at the rcquea of Mr. Wallacrt Pierce , who appreciated th < propriety of theln forming a part of an ex hlbltlon In which Webster himself would have taken so great a delight. Two of the articles in the collection th publls at large were not permitted to see because they never pies out of their own er'a control.

The pro priety of thus Unking the present with the past at these meetings of the oldest mili tary organization In the .country was the hap py thought of the possessor of this beautiful example of the goldsmith's art. The other article , which ID guarded -with equal care , Is a large , white-handled knife , of ingenious design and curious workmanship , presented to Mr. Webster by King Louis Philippe of 'France. ' Its only blade Is between four and five Inchca In length , and is intended for the killing and cleaning of fish. There Is alro a peculiar contrivance for the removing of the scales , and , what Is moro remarkable , tbo handle contains a tiny spring balance for the weighing of the fish. In the 40r , while yet a king , Louis sent a request to Qlr. Webster for his picture , and the gratified statesman had hla portrait printed at a coct of fSOO and sent , with his compliments , to his royal friend. There were also to be seen In the cabinet which tiung In the Pierce lodge two articles of peculiar alue. because they mark one of the most Important epochs In the relations of the United States and Great Britain. One la & silver dog whistle , carried by Lord Ash- burton at the time of the memorable Jour ney of the two commissioners over the route wblch now forms the boundary line between this country and the British possessions , when the famous treaty was agreed upor. which settled so satisfactorily th cmooted question of Great Britain' ! * rights on this continent. Before the gentlemen rart d , his lordship presented Mr. Webster not only with the whistle , but with a email wooden brandy keg , hooped with wicker bands , and with a mouthpiece which Is protected from unli censed lips by a braes lock. Another article In this Interesting collec tion Is a pocket scale capable ot weighing fith or game to the amount of 170 pounda. It Is believed that It has never been dupll- catedjn this country. Not much a-nallor , but moro genteel in appearance , is a German silver scale for weighing fUh , nlso of equally small proportions and Ingenious design. A ellver drinking flaek and a silver cigar caee combined , and two pewter plates carried by Mr. Webster on hla numerous fishing and hunting excurslona In Plymouth county , are not the least Interesting of thtae memen toes of the great man and hla simple end manly tastes. The pair nf antlers which oc cupied a conspicuous place over Uie door of the lodge were worn by a busk which fell a victim to Mr. Wcbstcr'a skill as a marfts- man when bunting In Plymouth woods.

Felix Dubots , the Touraegs ( one of the African races whom he describes In his book about Tlmbuctoo ) , wear veils. The rearing of horses , oxen and goats Is their chief Industry , the milk and flesh of these animals , -with the addition of dates , furnishing their principal nourishment. For the protection of eyes and lungs they adopt a headdress of two veils. One , the "nlkab , " Is rolled round the tern- pice , hanging down , In front to protect their ejes ; while the other , the "llthatn , " reaches from the nostrils to the edge of their cloth- Ing. The veils are never removed , even at meal times , and the garb has became BO much a part of them that -any one being deprived ot it la unrecognizable by friends or relatives. In a part of the territory in Kansas given by the United States govern ment to the Indians there Is an extraordinary sect , consisting of about 130 persons. The men and women wear masks day and night , and never by any chance do they gaze upon the face of one another. There is a dally religious service In the open air , regardless of the weather. What little property they have Is held in common , a they believe It to bo sinful to accumulate property. The chance visitor to the colony U ) treated kindly and courteously , and Is l\en a lodging in a cabin kept for that purpose. He Is not In vited to atay , nor do they give him a hint to leave.
