Conclusion * n * to War.
M5W YOIIK , April 21. Henry Clews , head
( ft , the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street :
"The temper In which Wall street lias re
ceived the Intervention decree of congress
nml the president's ultimatum to Spain confirms -
firms the view repeatedly expressed In theno
advices , that the stock exchange had dis
counted the worst probabilities In the Cu
ban situation and adjusted the Values of
Investments In advance to the outcome
t'fiat has at last happened. With Its rarely
erring Instinct of forecast , the financial
community has fort-seen the end from the
beginning of this long and tedious excite
ment ; and , now uiat war has come , It has
no further adjustments to make , no selling
tinder the Impulse of new fears. The men
of the exchange hnd made up their mind
us to what amount of discount from the
normal market value of securities n war
with Spain called for ; and fne remarkable
steadiness of Wall street , durlnp the last
, wVi'k. Is evidence of a fixed confidence In
tholr conclusions.
This absence of panic or sensation In the
very presence of war Is something remarka
ble itnd has rarely been witnessed In the
wjrld'w money markets under the Influence
of like conditions. Such cntnstrop'nes are
Invariably attended with panic on the
TiJurst'H and violent fluctuations In the
'money markets , which extend to other
'countries than those directly concerned In
the1 Yustllltles. In our case , we have stood
peculiarly exposed to suffer from effects
pt this nature. Wo nrn probably the most
largely debtor nation In the world. Kng-
land , Ocrmany , Holland and France hold ,
according to common etslmate , fully $2,000-
W.O.OOO of our Investments. These creditors
linvc recently hnd their confidence severely
tested by the late sliver agitation ; und It
mij'nt be expected that those fears would
JIG acutely revived by the financial strain to
which this war may subject the country.
That such apprehensions would cause a
mare or less Important return of corporate
securities from Kurop ; was naturally to be
expected , and In fact has been looked for ,
lnt no such movement 'nas appeared to
any npppreclable extent. The foreign or-
Kann of financial opinion , which nt times
have had much to say ubsut the possibility
of our drlftlnR upon the silver basis , have
Vinil nothliiK to surest about that danger
being Increased by the contingencies of
war finance ; American securities have held
their own by the side of the Issues of other
countries , while Spanish 4s have declined
SO' points , and t'ne amount of stocks and
bonds returned to our home market has
'not ' been at all abnormal In amount. This
'experience Is the more remarkable In view
of the fact that the floating Indebtedness
of Kuropcp to the United States Is so alto
gether extraordinary as to furnish a strong
motive for Influencing t'ne return of our
securltli's In order to avert shipments of
tf51d. Within a few weeks about $03,000.000
of gold have been sent hither In settlement
of trade balancss , and a balance of not
Us * than $30,000,000 still remains to be llqul-
dated , Under ordinary conditions , such n
state of the exchanges would have caused
large _ sums of our securities to be sent
'nime , but no such movement of any mo
ment has occurred. This fact can be ac
counted for only upon the supposition that
the foreign holders of these" Investments
fee ! satisfied that , at present prices , they
are sound and safe , even In the prospect
of t'ne uncertainties of war. This tacit ver
dict expresses the opinion of tha banking
and Investment Interests of Europe upon the
effect the war Is likely to have on the com
mercial and financial stability of this coun
try. It would not have been surprising hnd
our foreign creditors deemed It a wise course
ID sell their 'noldlnps of our securities In
anticipation of the war , with a view of buyIng -
Ing them back after the pressure of the
struggle had worked Its full effect upon
them ; and the fact that t'ney have not done
so can only be regarded as Implying con
fidence , not only In the future value of
those Investments , but also In our being
nbo ! to sustain the burdens of hostllltjes
without serious consequences , and In our
being able to bring the struggle to an early
ftnd successful Issue.
These foreign estimates agree with the
reneral view held In financial circles at
ihome ; and at the same time they afford
a most welcome confirmation of the pre
vailing sentiment on the stock exchange.
The effect of the struggle upon t'ne material
Interests of this vast country cannot be
accounted as a very disheartening factor.
The vast superiority of our resources over
those , of Spain cannot permit the conflict
to bo a prolonged one. And If short , Its
cost , whilst possibly rulnoato Spain , can
not be of really serious moment when dis
tributed among our vast population , wlfn
their wealth exceeding that of any other
nation. If the struggle shoulud cost $500.-
009.0CO , It will have Its compensations not
only In Indemnity from Spain , or Cuba , or
both , but also In the restoration of a valua
ble commerce with fne Island which Is now
lest to us.
The success of our armri wlil give us a
status before the world In matters to i.vhlch
ww havj hlthertc. llttln aspired , but In which
> wc can no lender afford to permit our In
fluence to remain unfelt. For many reasons
It will pay us to give an exhibition of our
military and naval prowess. There Is more
than one country and more than one ques
tion In respect to which It may be well
Tor thfi world to understand that the United
Stntes ' may have to he reckoned with , and
1' can do us no harm to give this exhibition
of our fighting m.-'ttlev . In such concerns an
outlay of pJO.CCO.OOO-t'hough ' It may be nil
lo&s Is no matter to frighten 70,000,000 of
proi perous and productive psople. There la
no re.ison why , when the war Is In prosrers ,
our mines should restrict their output or
our mills cease th.Mr . running. The theater
of the struggle vlll not lie In the midst of
our accumulated ( property. In this respect
war -will dirter grcafly as to Its destruc-
tlvenrea from one of invasion or a civil
conflict. In addition to our providing for
the ordinary wants or consumption war will
creatj nn entirely new set of wants , and
although those , wants * may be connected
wlt'li ' waste , yet for .the time being they will
Elve a new stimulus to trade.
There nhould be no check upon the ordi
nary activity of our Industrie , but there
may , too , possibly bo such Interruptions If
men of business Indulge in narrow and
pessimistic vieeif - the situation. If we
fall to have an active and fairly prospjrous
cuslnesa ' throughout the. war It will be due
el'her to nn unintelligent timidity which
waits for business Instead of seekingor
making It or to a narrow conservatism In
creJIts which paralyzes business nt Its
Bouro ? . The extent to which business
may
be. ruined through' excrpjlve apprehension
Is Uluntrnted In the four ycttrs of depression
produced through fears of a sliver catas
trophe which has not yet come and n..ver
wl'l. The true way for the country to bear
lire If under thes < > conditions Is to face busi
ness problems with .the same courage , and
resolution as wj arc facing the less Inviting
problems af war nml foreign politics. The
difference betrawn timidity and confidence
In this mau'cr Is the difference betwscn
prosperity and depression.
The baromelter to watch just no-w. n the.
Jiest Indication as to war possibilities * Is
Spanish 4s. Theiy are ddxn today to 34.
which Is or * a bals of over 12 pjr com * In
terest , as against United States 4s. which
nre on al basis of 3 per cent Imtere-st. Their
bad brenk makes It apparent that Spain Is
Inclined to flghi' rather than take , up her
hd nnd walk out of Cubi , Spain's war
vessels accumulating at the Canary and
Csoe Venle > Islands , a distance * of over 3,000
miles from here , shows clearly that they
want our vessel ? to take a flghi ln position
before tby verdure to send theirs forward
from their prerent * afe quarters , and then
they may think twlca before doing so. A
revolution in Spain Is Formthlns' that wo
ran uhmoat count on and bnnk on. If the
Spanish people lick thi-mselveti on land It
will help us very muoh In whipping Spain
on the water.
The quos Ion of Spain sending out priva
te t-rs to operate against the. United States
In one of the mCfi vital In this war with
fpaln , binc * > wo may expea' that It will
bs carried oni by them to the fullest extent
allowed by the law of nai'lons. It Is vir
tually legalized iplracy. no far nn th ; capture
of ithe property of citizens of the United
States Is concerned The. cnpi ure may be

enemy. Any vessel that has a licence frcm
Fnaln e-nn do this , although many of the

will have the right of renrch so tnr as to

Upon Them ,
NBW YOIIK , April 24-Tho Financier
nays : According to the statement of the
New York clearing house banks for the
week ending April 23 , the Institutions hold
surplus reserve of H3D23lOO , whlcYi Is larger
than has been reported slnco the fourth
week of July , H97. This result has been
brought about by the conservative action.
of the- banks In preparing for tne crisis
which Is ut hand. Their cash holdings , de
pleted by the demands from the Interior.
have been replenished by Imports of gold
nnd the continued contraction of outstand
ing obligations. TV > dny they ure In nn ex-
'cccdliiKly strong position nnd nre ready to
meet nny demands which may bo made on
them. The statumtnt In detail does not
differ much from thoseof the- last several
weeks , Tne decrease of $7,4.9ieO ! In loans
represents the turning of accumulated
sterling Into specie Imports and nlfo the
liquidation of current account ? . But lltt.o
new business Is being done , as the rates
demanded precluded nny borrowing other
than that which Is absolutely necessary.
The banks are , however , looking out for
t'ne needs of their customers. The gain In
cash for the week was $5,583.500 , Bold re
ceipts having been nearly $8,000.000 and legal
tenders decreases only $ S,200,000. The In
creases In gold were larger than the week's
receipts from abroad , nnd It Is quite likely
that the heavy expansion reflects some of
the previous Imports. Deposits fell off only
$2,302,100 , w'nlch Just ubout equals the legal
tvndcr decrease , and Is less than the
known loss to the Interior. The Btatement ,
Judged by usual calculations , does not bal
ance , but the changes are logical , since the
gold Imports and their relations to accumu
lated sterling carried as loans must betaken
taken Into account. Summarized , the only
conclusion Is that t'ne banks have per
formed a dllllcult operation with rare skill.
They have retrenched where necessary ,
supplied their correspondents with funds ;
while strengthening ; ttnelr own holdings they
have put their business In first-class condi
tion , and today , when n call for funds by
the government Is Imminent , they have
more money available than nt any time
during the last nine montYis. The Inert-uses
of JHO.SOO.OOO In circulation , after u long
period of decrease , Indicate clearly that
no channel to expand the volume of money
Is being overlooked.

CHICAGO , April 23. A bulge of 2c In
wheat wns caused near the close today by
the following cablegram from London :
"Ilussla has withdrawn all offers of wheat.
Russian prices advanced 13c per bu. this
week. " Local bears were utterly routed.
July , which hnd touched 87V4c , was rushed
up to & 9 ! c , closing with a net gain of 94 ®
% u at S04c. ; Corn and oats rallied with
wheat , closing i c higher. Provisions were
weak , but made some recovery. 1'ork.lost
12c , and lard and ribs 2H > cNcach.
Declines In wheat futures at Liverpool
nnd favorable crop news , coupled with lack
of outside orders , caused a weak opening
In this market today. July , which closed
yesterday nt SSWfSS&c , was for sale at the
opening from SM&c to SS-)4c , nnd was kept
on the down grade until It got down to
& 7 ! c , from which point It commenced to
gradually recover. September was equally
depressed , opening down Hfic nt 80 % ®
Cc. May held during the same time be
tween $1.12 nnd $1.14. Lelter reported ac
ceptances to a fairly liberal extent. London
reported a cargo of Manitoba hard spring
taken at a price equal to $1.15 % per bu.
Minneapolis ) and Duluth markets were
strong enough to suggest famine In the
not distant future , prices for July being
about He above. July prices here. Beer-
bohm's estimate of the world's shipments
for the week was 8,000,000 bu. Receipts at
ChlcaJo were IDS cars , CS of them contract
quality. Minneapolis and Duluth , the
former of which Is now drawing supplies
largely from Kansas , received 218 cars ,
against 159 last week und 3S7 a year ago.
The sensation of the day came near the
close of the session , and referred to the
withdrawn ! of all offers , of wheat from
Russia to the United Kingdom , accompanied
by the statement that the price of Russian
wheat had risen the equivalent of 15c a
bu. this week. That stirred up the market
here , and sent July up In a whirl In the last
few minutes , leaving July ut 89c for the
day. Muy sold between $1.12 and $1.14 , clos
ing nt the top.
Corn was heavy during the greater part
of 'the session. The oversold condition be
came apparent when wheat started up near
the close. Shorts were active buyers and
closed the market at the top. Chicago re
ceipts were 437 cars. Atlantic ports cleared
040,000 bu. The demand for export was
fair. July opened steady to J/4c lower at
3233c , rallied and closed ut 23V4c , a net
gain of He.
Oats were easy early , but stiffened up
near the close. News from Europe wns
bullish , cables from London and tie : conti
nent saying oats were excited nnd higher.
Clearances were 98,000 bu. Eastern shippers
were liberal buyers for export. July opened
He lower at 24c , sold nt 23c , closing at

Provisions were hard to sell on the openIng -
Ing and realizing gave prices quite a set

bought freely , and near the close provisions
made n rally. July pork opened V | fT3'c

For a Saturday there was a large run of
stock , 183 oars being reported In , us against
163 a week ago. The gain was almost en
tirely In hogs , there being very few sheep
here as compared with a week ago and only
about the same number of cattle.
CATTLE There were fifty-nine loads of
cattle here , while Chicago and Kansas City
reported not enough to establish quotations.
With such small offerings at all selling
points and with no especial reason for
anticipating anything mor than an ordi.iaiy
run for Monday , It would seem us If them
ought to have been ai fair demand for fut
cattle of all kinds.
The demand , however , did not materialize.
The weather was warm and enervating nnd
the market seemed to have a bad attack of
spring fever. The buyers did not appear to
take enough Intcrest.ln the cattle to keep
awake and every tlnlo they made a bid It
was so low as to put the seller to sleep.
In other words the market wns not only
weak nnd lower , but It was entirely devoid
of life nnd activity. It was a drag from
start to Jlnlsh and It 'wns ' late before any
thing : of any Importnrice' 'was ' done.
While the week closedwith the market
In anything but a satisfactory condition so
far as selling Interests were concerned , It
was not so bad as It might have been taking
the week as a whole' , in fact there was
sutne little ImprovementIn values during
the early part of tho''week , especially on
tidy , light nnd medium' weight cattle. The
gain , however , was all lost during the last
two days so that Values at the end were not
much different from'-what they were at the
close of the previous week. The best sellers
all the week were handy beef steers and
good , light heifers' , wlflle heavy branded
cattle were slow on every day of the week.
The volume of business In stock cattle was
very limited as the country Is apparently
more Interested In preparing the ground for
the season's crops than In looking for
stackers or feeders.
The only explanation for the market be
ing In such a condition at the close of the
week Is the uncertainty regarding the Im
mediate future of the dressed beef trade.
No one can form any definite Idea of what
to expect during the coming week. All they
know Is that the export trade , as well as
the domestic , has not been very large the
lust week , and us a matter of self-protec
tion the packers do not seem Inclined to
place themselves In a position to be caught
with coolers full of beef for which there
might be no outlet. The very fact that ihey
do not appear to want the cattle shows that
at the present time there Is a very In
different demand for meats and no as
surance that It will bo any better next
woel : .
HOGS The receipts of hogs were the largest In
some time , 121 flesh loads being ; reported In the
yards. Large receipts on a Saturday , however ,
were decidedly against the beet Interests ol
sellers , especially to In view of the fact that
prominent features of the day were nil on the
bear side. In addition to the large receipts there
was the weaknee-s In provisions yesterday , fol
lowed by a sharp decline In the hog market nt
other selling points. The result was that buyers
at this point started out bidding lOc lower for
hogs and they succeeded in getting them thai
way.
They took off Just abaut what they put on
yesterday , buying the hogs at about Thursday's
prices tliat Is , very largely at $3.70(53.75. ( Con
sidering that the market was to much lower , the
trude was fairly active ami the bulk of the
offerings changed hands In good scasun , buyers
evidently wanting the hogs at the money.
The hog market this week has shown mire
and wider fluctuations In values than usual of
late , there being a difference between the ex
treme low nnd the extreme high point of 25c.
The week opend nt a decline , the hogs on Mon
day selling at a fraction under 13.60 on an
average. That proved to be the low day of the
week , the market being a shade higher on
Tuesday nnd again on Wednesday. On Thurs
day the market took a epurt of lOc under the
influence of the sharp rise In provisions , due
to the speculative demand Incident to the breakIng -
Ing out of war. Again on Frldav the market
responded to a still further advance in the price
of meats' , but nt the close of the week came
the reactiorl , as was to be expected. The total
gain for the week amounted to about 12V4c thai
Is , the week closed with the market about thai
muclt higher than It was at the opening ,
HHEKP There were only three loads in this
morning and they were lamba. The packers
seemed to want a few and they took what waste
to be hnd at prices that were a little higher
than yesterday. It would be safe to say that
they sold 10fl5c higher than they would have
done on any other day since the break In Uie
market.
The tendency of the market on good mutton
sheep has been upward this week , while the
lamb market during lot week and the first of
this week broke 40 S > e. During the latter part
of the week the lamb mirkct has crawled up
ward a little and the feeling Is considerably
better than It was a fhort time ago.
It looks now an If the receipts of sheep would
continue rather light from now on , but It Is
claimed that there are stlll'a good many lambs

Supreme Tent. Knlt-'hts of Maccabees ,
against Krelg. Error from Lancaster county.
Motion sustained. Per Curlam.
1. Assuming , but not deciding , that the
absence from the county of both trial Judge
and clerk during the period within which
a proposed bill of exceptions should have
been presented for settlement excused a
failure to have It settled within that time ; ,
still the statutory time began to run , under |
that assumption , from the time of the '
judge's return , and he was not authorized
to allow the bill when It was not presented
for more than ten days after 'nls return.
2. The fact that the defendant In error
held the proposed bill longer than t'no law
permitted did not excuse a subsequent de
fault by the plaintiff In error.
3. The defendant in error did not waive
"ills " right to move to quash the bill by ap
pearing before the trial Judse merely to
object to Its allowance , nor by falling U
file the motion until after the time had ex
pired within which the plaintiff In error
was required to tile his briefs to the merits ,
sudn briefs not having been filed.
Murphy against Gunn. Appeal from Sa-
llno county. Afllrmcd. Sulllvun , J.
1 , On the hearing of a motion to confirm
a sale of real estate It appeared that the
value of the land as fixed by the appraisers
was $3,000. Four witnesses for plaintiff
estimated the value at 11.800. One witness
for defendant estimated the value at * i,700
nnd the ofncr at * 2,400. A decision of the
trial court sustaining the appraisement was
not erroneous.
2. Objections to the confirmation of a sale
must specifically Indicate the Irregularity
complained of. Falling to do this , they
will be disregarded.
2. When It Is claimed that the time limited
to show cause against confirmation of a
judicial sale Is too rinort the defendant
should apply to the court ( or additional
time , and If necessary accompany his appli
cation with a proper showln ? .
