All told there were or.ly about sevcnty-
cven c.irs of stock In the yards today , In
cluding cattle , hog * nd sheep. 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.

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 !
May lard 2'/fcc ' higher nt * J5 20 nnd May ribs

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. On the otYier
Kind a { metric solution of the Cuban crlslii

Shonn by auJMliro Collection.
Among the unlverTally admired exhibits a
the Sportsmen's shp $ , JUst brought to a closi
at the Mechanics' building , reports the Bos
ton Transcript , Tva's'lrhQ ' ' ono making part o
the furnishings ot hj log cabin erected by
the S. S. Pierce comply , and best indicated
os the Webster roil u.-U appealed alike to
the cultured and ragged tastes ot the anti
quarian and the historian , and to the moro
rugged , but none .t 'less Inspiring , relish
of the sportsman ; fon.thero was scarcely an
article on view that jllfl' ' not peeress assocla
lions dear to all $ : tljo followers of these
pursuits. 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. One of these Is a gold matcl
cafe , twenty-two carakts fine , containing
matches placed In It by Mr. Webster him
self. For years It haa been the custom , a

candles In front of the commander wtlh a
match from this safe , and from these comes
the blaze which kindles all the cigars smoked
while the speaking Is In progress. 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. They

According to the French traveler , M. 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. They refute to listen to anything
about the world they haveleft. . They talk
simply about their spiritual state , Its beau
ties 4ud U blessings. Certain African eul-
tani veil their faces. The lultan. ot Darfur
