NEW yOIUC , May 7. ( Special. ) Henry
Clews , he-ad of the llrm ol Henry Clews &
Co. . writes :
During the last week the course of the
stock market 1ms been somewhat Irregular.
At the opening some uncertainty was felt
as to the possible effect or the payment of
the $20,000,000 Indemnity to Spain , as noth
ing was certainly known about the method
In which that operation wns to bo effected ,
and this circumstance wan turned to ac
count by the- bear operators with the result
of u fall of 1 to 2 points In prices. On
Tuesday the plan of settlement became but
ter understood and , as it wns seen to bo
free from all Injurious bearing on the money
market , securities lit once recovered from
thu previous day's decline , but have slnco
evinced a weak front and been compara
tively Inactive for these exciting times.
Thu payment of the indemnity has now
been consummated In a perfectly easy way
and without producing a rlpplo of dis
turbance In the loan market. Under other
i rcumstancos It might have called for a
considerable ) export of gold and some doubt
has been felt whether we flhould wholly
escape that , result , The balance of trade In
our favor during the last two years has ,
however , been attended with the accumula
tion of an extraordinary amount of Ameri
can funds In Europe on temporary loan.
Those funds have during late months been
drawn upon to a considerable extent in pay
ment for Bticurltlcs returned from abroad
and some misgivings have been felt whether
the amount remaining to our credit might
BUIIlco to cover this operation. The event
has proved that a sulllclent suppfy of bills
drawn chiefly against these funds was pro
curable for wholly covering this settlement
and therefore no gold has been exported.
The payment has been made wholly through
an exchange of International credits , with
out the transfer of a dollar In cash. As the
result of those operations the treasury ac
counts show an Increase In "outstanding
drafts and checks" from $0,133,7G9 on April
2 ! ) to $2i,171,013 ! on May 3 , the Increase of
$2:1,013,144 : having gone Into the banks , whllo
within the same time the treasury deposits
In the banks have been diminished by only
$18,112 , with the understanding , however ,
that those deposits shall bo drawn down at
the rate of $1,000,000 per week to compen
sate for the reduction of the actual cash
balance in the treasury proper. Therefore
the banks were about $23,000,000 stronger in
cash resources at the end of the Indemnity
settlement than they were before , while the
treasury was about to the same extent
weaker.
CiiNli for Siiiiln.
Whatever actual cash may reach Spain In
this settremont will probably be contributed
largely by Germany , for that country has
been more than any other a debtor to the
United States in the form of the temporary
loans which we have turned to account as a
means of paying the Indemnity. It Is not
unlikely , however , that Germany may be
able to make arrangements Indirectly with
Spain that will mitigate the Inconvenience
cf this sudden demand for largo liquidations
lu cash. The Rothschilds are understood to
bo connected with the European end of the
settlement and that might easily mean ar
rangements between the Dank of Spain and
the German bank that would bo convenient
to both parties.
Thus , another bogy that has haunted the
money market and made some people on the
Stock exchange uneasy has-been removed
from the haunts of speculation. One of the
effects of the completion of this operation
will be , as above Indicated , to Increase niate-
riulty for some time the cash resources of
the banks. It Is true the secretary of the
treasury has expressed a purpose to gradu
ally withdraw his deposits from the national
banks , ns on offset for the money lost In the
indemnity settlement , but those withdrawals
will probably be more than offset by the
excess of the government's ordinary dis
bursements over Us receipts , which for last
'
month showed a difference of'$11,300,000 ! in
other words , the present drift of fiscal'af
fairs Is In the direction of depleting the
treasury and filling the banks. It there
fore seems safe to calculate upon a more
plethoric condition of the bank reserves
from this time on until the fall than wo
have experienced within the fast four
months.
Crop Outlook ( I in-1-ru I u.
The main factor bearing upon the stock
market Is the crop outlook , which still re
mains uncertain. Winter wheat estimates
are still held In suspense and , though a
large falling oft from last year's unequaled
output Is accepted as a matter of course , yet
no one ventures upon definite figures of de
crease. At the same time there are no
trustworthy estimates on the acreage of
oprlng wheat , though the expectation gen
eral that it will surpass that of 1898. In
dealing with this question , however , one
quite Important factor Is overlooked- *
namely , the largo quantity of wheat now be
ing held In the hands of farmers for higher
in Ices. The following figures indicate ap
proximately what this item may amount to :
Bushels.

Visible supply Mny 1 , 1S99 28,200,000
In farmers' hands May 1 , 1S9D S4.000.009
At the end of the lost crop year wo had
virtually no stocks in farmers' hands and
oi'ly H.700,000 bushels of visible supply.
At the present time wo have on hand
after alfowlng for consumption of the next
two months 112,200,000 bushels , of which
1:8,200,000 : bushels appears In the visible sup-
lily , whlla 84,000,000 bushels constitute
an invisible supply In farmers' hands.
It will thus bo seen that wo may
have n material falling otf In the next
crop of winter wheat and yet a total
supply , of old and now crops , on Juty
1 not nearly so much below that of last
year ns has been generally expected. At
least , It may bo regarded , as an easy possi
bility that the wheat' supply of 1899 ( win
ter and spring crop and stock carried over )
will more than equal that of 1S97 and far
exceed the average of preceding years.
The tendency of prices at the Now York
Stock exchange , for the moment , appears In
the direction of lower figures. Wo advise
therefore for the coming week trading for
Jn-and-out quick turns only.

NEW YORK. May 7. The Now York
Financier cays this week :
Two factors thu enormous oversubscrip
tion to the shares of the Amalgamated Cop
per company and the preliminary operations
incident to the first payment of the Phlllp-
jilno Indemnity contributed toward mak
ing a surprising bank statement for the
week ending May C. ' The Increase of J6.CC4-
400 in loans was far abovu what had been
expected , as was thu expansion of $16,000,000
In deposits. It Is to bu noted that these
items almost balance each other. The
changes In the actual cash reserve were not
BO important , the loss of funds being $2,265-
200 , Of the $6,172,725 decrease lu reserve
over $1,000,000 represents added require
ments owing to thu heavy rise in deposits.
The average system of computing totals
Is responsible for an evident discrepancy In
several respects , for the statement Includes
mile , If any , of the $5.000,000 drawn from
the BUbtrcasury as the first payment of the
Philippine fund , The banks lost something
like $1,000.000 to the treasury on routine
operations , but gained as much from the
interior , although the statement does not
phew It. The only inference Is that the real
cash reserve is about us large a reported
for the previous wor-k. Of the changes in
loans and deposits the Natlonnl Pity bank
ta accountable for $10,000,000 and over on
each Item. Just what part the copper sub
scriptions played In this matter cannot be
figured , hut If Is a noticeable fact that the
banks total cash varies lees than $750,000
from the previous week.
As the $76.000,000 stock of the Amalga
mated Copper company was subscribed more
than four times over and as each subscrip
tion wan accompanied by a 6 per cent check
it is evident that the bank received about
$20,000,000 from this source , although , of
course , much of it may not have been In
cluded in the averages. Regarded In every
light , it cannot be said that the statement
Is as unfavorable as first thought might
mnko it. The banks , as already noted , are
stronger In cash than 1s reflected In the cur
rent exhibit , and as they wlir be further
aided next week , through treasury opera
tions , the losses In reserve now reported
are not as important as otherwise. The
changes in the leading Items imply a shiftIng -
Ing of funds more than anything else and
while the banks may show some surprising
changes during the coming few weeks , It
cannot be- said that their Influences will bo
other than transitory in nature.
I.oiuliiu Slock Market.
LONDON , May 7. Stocks suffered lost
week from an unsettled feeling and move
ments throughout were Irregular. Disturb
ing rumors as to thu relations between
Great Hrltaln and the Transvaal added to
the general weakness of the market. The
principal feature was the sharp advance In
Canadian Pacific railway shares , on the
strength of Montreal puicha&es , the shares
rising In one instance- lOlV'i and ulti
mately closing at 99U- Americans suffered
on realizations and the American market
which seemed to have lost all its strength ,
closed at the lowest figure of the week.
New York Central and Hudson river shares
fell 1 % points ; Northern Pacific ordinary ,
1V6 ; Atchlson preferred , 1 ; Heading firsts , 1 ;
Southern preferred 1 , and' ' most other rail
way shares from 14 to % points. Call money
was In good supply at from 1 to 1U per
cent ; money for the week brought 174 , and
three months' bills were steady at 2 3-10.

CHICAGO. May 0. Apprehension over re-
Borts of drouth In European wheat coun
tries and unfavorable domestic crop reports
strengthened wheat-today. July closed with
a gain of ViOVic ; oats and corn declined ' .6c
each ; pork advanced CyTVic and lard and
ribs EC each.
Wheat started flrm.-Inllupnced by reports
of pro'onccd drouth In Austria and Spain.
Prollt-tuklnff caused a temporary weak
scell , but the market turned strong again
on liberal covering and heavy country buyIng -
Ing- . Crop reports ! were bad , especially from
Kansa.s , where the total yield for the state
was placed at only 25,000.000 bushels. Heavy
sales for export at the seaboard had * a
strengthening influence. July opened Uc
higher at 714c , advanced to 72c , sold off to
71ifT71-iu , rose to 72V4c and closed at 72V4 ©
72c. Chicago receipts were sixty-three
cars , six of which graded contract. Minne
apolis and Du'.utb got 213 cars , against 372
for thn same day a year ago. Atlantic port
clearances of wheat and Hour equaled 403-
000 bushels. The world's shipments to Eu
rope for the week were 8,000,000 bushels.
Corn weakened early on account of the
labor disturbances at Uuffnlo and favorable
seeding wenthcr. The market was steadied ,
however , by buying against weekly puts.
Cash demand wns poor ; receipts , lt7 ! cars.
July opened unchanged at 33G33Tfcc , de

lower at 23i@23c , declined to 23c and

CATTLE Light receipts and a dull and
Indifferent market Is usually the program
on u Saturday and today did not present
any exception to the rule. One thing that
made the market a little slow was thu fact
that the offerings consisted very largely of
heavy c.Utle. The market , however , was
just about steady , some good cattle going us
high as $5.00. The few cows , holfer.etc. . ,
sold at stMuly prices and the same was true
of stock cattle.
The llrst of the week fat cattle were a
little lower , but as the wetk advanced the
market showed Improvement and at the
close It Is safe to say that tidy light cattle
are fKiTlOo higher than a week ago and
heavy cattle fully steady. The demand has
been good all the week , but light cattle
have been the best sellers. On some , days
heavy cattle have been decidedly slow sale.
Cows and heifers have been good sellers
all the week and there has been no vsry
material change In the market. In fact , for
threa weeks ther ; has been little change in
values on that kind of cattle. It Is notice
able , however , that the less desirable kinds
of cows and hclf-ers are not quite so snappy
as they were at one time and there Is a
weak undercurrent , but as yet no quotable
change in values.
Thin , stock cattle of good quality , that
hav-s not been on feed , are in good demand
and the market for the week Is a littlu
higher , in fact such cattle , are now selling
just as high as ever.
HOGS Values were strong to 2',4c higher
this morning , but the trade was slow at
the advance and the close dull and weak.
The situation was this : Sellers all wanted
to spring the market about 6c and were
pricing their holdings that way ; buyers
were willing to put on a little , but not as
much as sellers wanted , and for that reason
the market was slow from start to llnlsh.
The fact of its being a "Saturday gave buy
ers the advantage , as they could afford to
be Indifferent , while sellers could not afford
to carry their hogs over , so that buyers
bad things largely their own way and in
the end bought the hogs an Indicated.
ThN was low week on hogs. On Monday
the market opened at a decline , but re
covered part of the loss on Tuesday , was
very nsarly steady on AVednesday and then
dropped to the lowest point on Thursday
that has been touched since the latter part
of March. During the last two days of the
week the tendency was higher. The de
mand for hogs was good all the week and
the receipts liberal as compared with previ
ous weeks. Packers at this point appear
to want the hogs at current prices and It
Is no trouble to dispose of all that are
coming forward. Some few hogs have
been shipped down from Sioux City during
the week.
SHEEP There were a few cars hero , but
they were all of them cither sold In ad
vance or else consigned direct to packers ,
so that not a single load wo-a offered for
sale , and tnere was nothing to make a
te t of the market or establish quotations.
The feeling , however , was Just about steady
and It wou.d be safe to say that had there
been ani'thlnjr here It would have sold in
the same notches us ye-iterday.
The * heep market has been In a good ,
healthy condition all the week. The supply
of wethers has been light and the market
strong on that kind. Clipped lamb * are
also strong" , but there eeoms to be nn
easier feeling on wooled lambs. Taking- the
market as a whole there has not been any
ehanse of Importance this week ,
while the demand has been wood
and the market active on most
days. Arrivals have not been large
and receivers have had no difficulty In un
loading everything at current prices.

In yesterday's Dee mention was made of
the contract now existing between the
Omaha Street Railway company and the
Postal department of the government nnd
one of the officers of the company was
quoted as saying that when the present
contract expired the company would not
consent to n renewal. A great deal of hard
work was done by citizens hero to have the
contract renewed last year and If the mall
service on the street cars stops it will
greatly inconvenience those who receive and
dispatch large quantities of mall. The gov
ernment pays very little for the service nnd
this Is one reason why the street car people
will refuse to enter Into a renewal. Seven
malls arc now brought down on street cars
every day nnd twelve malls are dally
hauled to Omaha. In all forty-four pouches
of mall are received dally at the postofllco
here and thu same number of pouches are
sent out. These eighty-eight pouches all
contain first-class matter and registered let
ters. In addition to these pouches a large
number of sacks containing newspapers are
dally sent out and received. By taking off
the motor service the mall will be sent down
from Omaha by train and the service will
not be nearly as satisfactory as now. The
first mail via motor arrives from Omaha
at 6:13 : a. m. and the last at 4:45 : p. m.
In the morning the first outgoing mall is
sent nt 7:54 : and the last at 9 p. m. If train
service has to be resorted to again the mall
pouches will lay at the Omaha depots
awaiting a train which passes through this
city. Only Union Pacific and Missouri Pa
cific -trains stop here , so that it can readily
be seen that the local service will be con
siderably delayed.
City Co line 11 Mcithoil * .
In connection with the resolution passed
at the council meeting a. week ago regard
ing the change in the method of Introducing
and passing ordinances It is stated by those
who are interested in the abolition of the
old system that it was practically a dead
letter and might as well bo erased from
the rules of the council. On May 11 , 1897 ,
John P. Schultz , who was then a member
of the council , Introduced a resolution ,
which was passed , declaring that in the
future the city attorney shold draft all or
dinances and that instructions for such work
bo given him in writing In open session.
This rule made a delay of a week imperative
and In case a meeting was not held every
week Important matters had to go over.
That the resolution referred to has prac
tically been a dead letter is shown by the
records. Quito a number of Important or
dinances have been introduced and passed
the same night and this Is positively for
bidden by Schultz's resolution. Among the
Important measures which have been pushed
through in this way might be mentioned
the granting of the right of way to the
Stock Yards railroad across L street and
along Boyd street ; the amendment to the
fire limit ordinance ; two ordinances pro
viding for the Issue of funding bonds ; the
Omaha and South Omaha Gas franchise or
dinances ; the submission of the question
of voting bonds for a city hall ; thu occu
pation tax ordinance , raising the tax from
$200 to $500 and the repeal of the original
occupation tax ordinance.
Those who are Interested In the matter
assert that emergencies occasionally arise
where it becomes necessary to introduce
and pass an ordinance at the same meeting ,
and now that the objectionable resolution
has been repealed , this can be done at any
but special meetings.
Council MeptlMH Tonlislit.
A meeting of the city council Isbilled for
tonight. As Mayor Ensor Is still unable to
leave his bed President Bennett will occupy
the chair. The petition for grading Sixteenth
street from M north to a point 330 feet north
of 'Missouri ' avenue will foe reported on by
the viaduct , street and alley committee.
The grading of Twenty-third street from O
to S and O street from Twenty-fourth to
Twenty-fifth will also be reiwrted on. Be
tween forty nnd llfty liquor license applica
tions will bo passed upon. Unless Blank
Withdraws his protests the council will have
"to set a time for the hearing. Some of the
protests do not give nny street or number
and for this reason a portion of the pro
tests may bo thrown aside ; the others will ,
however , have to bo 'heard ' unlcfis withdrawn.
