Here mill lu Cuundn.
NE\V YORK , June 9. R. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say :
The last week has brought a rise In prices
not equaled In any other week of many
yenrs. Iron products have advanced S per
cent In one week , and pig Iron 4.8 per cent ,
following advances of S per cent In pig
and 4 per cent in products during May.
Cotton has advanced 1 per cent and cotton
goods l.S per cent during the week , with
woolen goods .8 per cent and boots and
shoes 1 per cent. A Tittle reaction of 6
per cent in leather nnd .7 per cent Jn
hides occurred , but the characteristic of the
time Is that expectation of higher prices
Induces buying far In advance of require
ments for consumption. It Is needless to
say that thisIs , a symptom of danger nnd
the most conservative manufacturers , espe
cially In Iron and steel , have striven to
avoid It , but an Inability to deliver products
demanded leaves them little power while
speculation In wool and other lines Is run
ning away from consumption. It Is n cav
ing feature that quotations are quite largely
fictitious. Afmost all the goods now being
delivered or pioduced In some Industries me
on prices fixed by orders accepted several
months ugo and nearly nil tbo Iron works
being thus tied up far ahead , the prices
quoted Indicate not at all weakening , but
what they see tit to ask as a way of refusing
orders which they cannot accept , or else the
bids of Impatient buyers who can find no
body ready to deliver large quantities.
During tbo last week quotations have
risen for anthracite No. 1 to $17.50 ; for
Bessemer to $18.50 at PUtsburK ; for gray
forgo to $16.25 ; for billets with few sales
to $11 ; for bara $2 per ton ; for plates and
sheets as much , and for wire nails 25 cents
per keg. But there are no accounts of
Targe transactions at these or any other
prices , though small sales of pig lust week
for Italy and this week for Bremen at
market prices with Oo'rnun offers for 10,000
tons southern pig Indicate that needs abroad
are quite as great as they are here.
While there Is a better demand for woolen
goods , so that prices of some have ad
vanced , It Is not yet possible to 'distinguish
heavy speculative operations in wool at Bos
ton from efforts of mills to buy. The prices
current In all wool.growing sections are so
high as to prevent sales In eastern markets
to consumers atvd traders , beTlevtng that
mills will presently bo forced to pay higher
prices , ore taking the same risk they did in
the winter of 1S07 , not realizing the size
of stocks held , The cotton market baa ad
vanced a sixteenth , without other reason
than the great demand for goods , but stocks
of cotton huro and abroad are heavy and
the financial Chronicle estimates a decrease
of only 3.2 per cent In acreage. Goods are
celling largely mnd prices of ginghams iy > d
prints have advanced.
After some advance wheat suddenly de
clined 2 cents , erasing lower for the week.
Against all accounts of Inquiry Is tbe solid
fact that western receipts were C.049,194
bushels for tbo week , against 1,477,015 from

the great crop of last year , and at current
low prices such receipts would be inexplic
able If growers really expected a short
yield. Exports have declined , being only

623,400 from Pacific ports , ngalnst 253,213
last year , but even as to future foreign de
mands , this Is not strong evidence. The
estimates of reduction In yield are weak
ened In market judgment by certainty that
spring acreage Is unknown and may exceed
expectations , nnd that the prospect in spring
wheat states Is excellent. Corn has shown
unusual Independence , scarcely changing In
price with exports 2,804,900 bushels , iigolntt
4,134,641 bushels last year.
For the current week failures have been
159 In the United States against idl last
year and ten In Canada against seventeen
last year.

Market Int < * r Hceovern.
NEW YORK , June 9. Bradstreofs Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say :
At the beginning of the week the market
showed a disposition to continue Its low ,
sagging tonp. The gold shipments was cal
culated to support this belief and with the
absence of any public buying led the pro
fessional traders to generally act on the
short side of tbo account. It Is also recog
nized that at the present rates of exchange ,
some European Interest , generally thought
to be the Bank of England Itself , has put
premium upon gold consignments , smafl but
sufficient to Induce an artificial flow from
this country.
There was a steadier t-mo In Tuesday's
trading and Wednesday yloldi" ! two ini-i-
dants which for the time being nt Hast
seemed to change the temper of the eparula-
tlor. . One of these was the declaration of
the regular 3 per cent quartuily dividend
In the American Sugar company's roinmon
stock , n matter about which the street had
Indulged In marc or less doubt for a full
month. The other was the dfclarntlon of
l'/4 per cent half yearly dividend o.i Atchlton
preferred , with the announc mwnt that the
earnings of the road In the fiscal year ending
June 30 would also provide for another
half yearly dividend of the same amount
next January. Coverings , not only in the
stocks Just named , but In other parts of
the list , at once ensued and some frch buyIng -
Ing was attracted. The upward movement
continued on Thursday. The steel stocks In
splto of some Irregularity In American Steel
and Wire wore generally higher and the
strength of the market In whole seemed
to center In the portions of the list which
had been the object of principal bearish
pressure. The flnnnesa of the grain mar
ket and unfavorable accounts of the crops
had apparently little further Influence on
speculation. London took but a small part
In the trading hero , though the Atchlson
dividend Induced some foreign buying of
that stock. On tbe oth r hand , the weak
ness of the mining division of the London
market , caused by the failure of the
Transvaal negotiations , did not find any re
flection here , opart from a decline in
Anaconda shares and tbe continued heavi
ness of Amalgamated Copper. The bond
market continued to be very strong , with
an unabated demand for the better kind of
Ihsues.nnd such a scarcity of such offerIngs -
Ings , even at the prices , that the Inquiry Is
perforce turned to lower grades nnd now
securities , more or less attention having
been Given this week to the first mortgage
bonds to be Issued by the reorganized Wis
consin Central.

; ; SOlTl OMAHA NEWS ,
The First Methodist church , Twenty-
third and N streets , was crowded to the
doors last night , the occasion being the
commencement exorcises of the senior class
of the South Omaha High school. Con
trary to the usual custom the graduating
class , which consisted of eleven young
women nnd one young man , was not per
mitted to have floral gifts sent to the church ,
BO that the decorations consisted merely of
some handsome palms , which were placed
on cither side of tbe platform. Members of
the Board of Education , teachers at the
High school , the graduates and Superintend
ent Wolfe occupied seats on the platform ,
as did also Hon. E. H. Hlnshaw of Fair-
bury. The young women wore becoming
dresses of white. The exercises opened with
a prayer by Rov. H. H. Mlllard , pastor of
the church , and this was followed by the
program , which was printed In The Bee a
day or two ago.
Superintendent Wolfe Introduced Hon. E.
H , Hlnshaw of Falrbury , the speaker of the
evening , In an appropriate manner. In
these remarks Dr. Wolfe called attention to
the fact that formerly each graduate was
compelled to write an essay or deliver an
oration on graduating , but this practice had
been discontinued to some extent. He said
that the graduates now prepared such pa
pers , but did not read them on graduating
as of old. In his Introductory remarks Mr.
Hlnshaw spoke of the peculiarities of our
educational system in that eleven young
women and one young man were graduating ,
while In the olden times It was thought
necessary to educate only eons , leaving tbo
daughters to get along as best they could
with a little learning. It was , said the
speaker , a wise move on the part of our
forefathers when they began the education
of b'oth sexes , as now the young women
were equal to tbe young men In learning at
the time of graduation.
Continuing , the speaker said that one's
dally llfo ohould bo one of useful toll , and
urged upon those just entering what lie
called a new life to bend .their energies In
the right direction. Briefly the speaker told
of drones ho had known at college and how
before life had been ended they had been
compelled to work hard to accomplish their
desires and ambitions , Ho spoke of General
Lew Wallace and Lord Byron as spoiled
children who did not realize 'In youth that
Incessant work and study viere necessary
to greatness , The epergy of ' "Wizard" " Edi
son was mentioned In contrast , and the
statement was made that the great In
ventor's success had been the result of
gonlus coupled with Incessant toll ,
Mr. Hlnshaw'g address was attentively
listened to by all and was greatly appre
ciated. Following the address came the
presentation of diplomas by John Fltz Rob
erts , president of the Board of Education.
After the exercises at the church the
alumni of the High school gave a banquette
to the graduates at tbe Heed hotel. Flow
ers were not barred at this function and
each graduate had baskets of roses and bo-
quetn without number. Rowland Smith ad-

New Order Goveriiliijr Snlooim.
Mayor Ensor tightened up the screws on
tbo ealoon men again yesterday by Issuing
an order for the removal of all window and
bar screens and also nil wine rooms. Cap
tain Alllo of ihe police force served notice
on the liquor dealers yesterday that the ob
structions mentioned must bo removed on
or before Thursday , June 15.
In connection with this matter the mayor
said that with the small police force at
his command ho could not watch nil the
saloons properly and Hie only thing to do
was to order the removal of all screens In
order that a clear view of the bar could
be had at all hours during Sunday. Ac
cording to the authorities one saloon keeper
rigged up a contrivance whereby ho has
been enabled to violate the Sunday closing
order without detection. The person In
mind had an electric button placed In a
concealed position at the front of his build
ing and kept a constant watch up and down
the street. When a blue coat hove In sight
the button was pushed nnd the crowd In
the vloon rushed to the wine room , where
they concealed themselves until the officer
bad passed. The way tbo police were being
hoodwinked was too good a joke to keep
and the story leaked out. Particular at
tention will be paid to this place in the
future.
I'ontafllco Fence llrinovi-d.
Enough of the fence surrounding the now

lated In tbe gutters Inside the fence was
removed and the building showed up to
much better advantage than It evrr has be
fore. A portion of the fence still remains
on the M street elde In order to protect the
walk , which ls not quite completed. Super
intendent Cramer will move his office Into
tbo building today and tbe little shack
which has been used as a superintendent's
office for a year or more will bo carted
away. The cast and south doors are closed
to the public In order to give the force of
workmen as much room as possible.

The differences existing between the Rock
Island Railroad company and the Transmls-
slsslppl and International Exposition asio-
clatloti have been adjusted by the former
relinquishing $5,000 on the claim of $17,600.
Last year the Rook Island contributed $20-
000 to the exposition , nnd at the tlmo It was
looked upon as a donation , at least by the ex
position officials. Stock , however , was Issued
for It later and after the exposition com
menced to pay dividends the railroad peopla
put In a claim for these dividends , contend
ing that they were subscribers and not
donors. The dividends on the $20,000 aggregated -
gated $17,500 $ , nnd as the matter was hanging
In the shape of an open account a committed
was appointed by the directors of the ex
position to adjust the mutter and make a
settlement. This committee has made IU
report , showing that It has succeeded In get
ting the company to accept $12,500 In full
for the claim.
