REPORTED DEALS OF THE RAILROADS Tcmlencr Toward Farther Comlilnn- lion or IntcrcNln AtlrniMx' Coimltl- crnblc Attention mill AITcrl * the Value of Ilmul * . NISW YOItK , July 2.-SpeclaI.-IIenry ( ) Clews , head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes : The reported deal between the New Vork central people and the managers of the llos- ton & A bnny was lit the main a Hurprlsc to the market , hut produced only a temporary effect on prlccii. The significance of the transaction is somewhat of a mystery , and the fact that Its meaning Is onfy guessed at neutralizes UP effect on valuos. The unpre cedented length of the lease , ! > ! ) ! ) yeara. and the guaranteeing of S per cent dividends on the stock for that period , excite considerable comment , and It Is not easy to conceive what reasons may have led to these extraordinary condition ) ) . Among railroad capitalists the deal oxrltcs the less oiirprlsc , because the opinion IHII , been gaining ground that there Is nn real remedy for destructive competition among the roads except through a scries of consolidations that will create a series of amalgamated groups out of the several- lines connecting the Atlantic seaboard with the west , niscuxslon of this nitration has devel oped Into a general plan of provincial feder ation of roads , ombraclng on the one hand the Uric , Delaware & Lackawanna and the Delaware & Hudson In alllanca with the Now Vork Central ; and , on the other hand , an alliance of the Lchlgh Valley & Heading companies In conjunction with the Pennsyf- vanla company ; while the Daltlmoro & Ohio might unlto Its interests with the southern combination of roads. These con solidations are not expected tci be early iirhlevomciits , nor to bo prematurely forced hut to wait for convenient conditions for their consummation. Hut the scheme has gained such n firm position In the convic tions of railroad rnuti , that It is very naturally reasoned that W. K. Vanderbllt's reported acquisition Is a first step in this direction , Its object , being to bring one of the principal New Kngland linen Into har monious co-oporatlon with the New York Central. There appears to be some reason to suppose that a similar arrangement Is under contemplation as between the Vaniler- birt roadH and New York , Now Haven & Hartford , which receives some plausibility front the supposed achievement effected In connection with the lioston & Albany. These are symptoms of n new drift In the railroad interest which cannot but attract attention. They are Htreaka of light upon the horizon of a vast investment Interest which has been long beclouded by adverse conditions that have Htubbnrnly defied rem edy. The facts may not have any Immedi ate conspicuous effect upon the Block mar ket at largo , but they Introduce a new nnd very fundamental" factor among the Influ ences giving stability to the trunk line se curities and helping their advance to a foremost position among our permanent In vestments. The stock market this week has had nn improving tendency with an Important In crease of commission buying , the strength and activity being mainly in the railroad pr6portlcs. Satisfactory railroad earnings , more favorable crop reports and the near-by payments of July dividends were the cn- I couraglng features. London buying was also | a factor on the bull side , which was the means of reducing the fiterllng rate of ex change to a point Indicating that gold ex ports have about culminated for the present at least. To the return of the senior Van- derhilts from Kurppc , whose Influence was nt once exerted In advancing the properties of their railroad systems , Is due the credit of wrenching the market from the hands of the hear traders. The advame and strength of those stocks lead to the belief , referred tn above , that nn important scheme of con nection between the New York Central , the Hoston & Albany and the Fllchburg roads Is near at band , from which New York Cen tral wjll ilorivq great benefit. While Nor\h- w'cstern and Omaha may not bo taken In on the name basis nl present , owing to tho'fact that they arft controlled by ownership of a majority of the stock by the Vandorbllt fam ily , to all Intents and purposes they are un der the control of Now York Central , and the same may bo assumed as the case with V'nlnn Pacific , thus giving a direct nnd per manent system of transportation from the Atlantic to the 1'aclfle under one central In fluence and policy of management. This means a great deal In upholding the various Fceurltles of the properties so represented , and the general' market at the name time is materially benefited In tone thereby. \VHKICIA" J.'I.NAXCIAl , IU3VIHW. SI I iln ii miner Dividend I'orloil linn Trn- iliiic9' to HoiliiiM' CIIHI ItcNrrvrN. NEW YOKIC , July 2. The Financier says : The statement of the Associated Banks for the wok ending July I shows some of the lu-avieit changes In months , due not so much to unfortunate Inllueuccs as to the opera tions of the half-yearly period. The three factors which have burvcd to reduce the cash reserves bv nearly $ llf > 0ft,000 are the good exports , treasury debts and the midsummer dividend period. Under prehent conditions it may ho said pafely that no more gold will go to Kuropc unless an exceedingly fancy rate l. < paid for It. As fur the treasury It Is known thai for HOIIII ! time past the banks have been losing sti-mllly to the government , oulug to the transform of deposits and the growing excess of customs payments over disbursements. Tills IH a very satisfactory feature of Iu ) > Hlluatlon. showing aa it does n return 10 a period of normal business , but for the time being It l taking much money nut of circulation. Iloglnnlng with July , however , the treasury wllf havr heavy pay ments in the way of bonds and other ox- pcnscs to meet and this will allow the banks to recoup some of their previous losses. In the same manner the institutions will begin to show Iho effect of the enormous July dis bursements , and while the crop season Is not far distant It Is oxpcctcd the money move ment will continue thlH way for some time An unusual incident has been the uhlpment of gold from Now York to thn Interior during Iho last few days. Canada has boon titan drawing gold. The banks , In face of the continued drain on their resources , are about to maintain their loans nl the highest rates ever known , nnd thin IH regarded as abundant proof of their strength. How the htatPincnt will affect intercut rates is not known , but since any material advance Is certain tn result in n runti of Idle capital to this center a stringency In the local market IB regarded as highly Improbable. The cur- vnnl statement shows that the 1'arger banks , which have been carrying the greater pro portion of surplus reserves , hnvo loft heaviest , HO that the reduction does not mean that the banks as 11 rule are .it the limit of their loaning power.

General conditions In Kurope were said to be favorable for n good ilemaud for Ainorlunn wheat. The strong tone of for eign advices was readily responded to by the local market , which was w < ll loaded down with short wliont , mid though domi'S- tie receipts ! were still heavy and July de liveries largo , UH > bulls ut once assumed the aggretwivo and retained the upper hand throughout the short Sntuiday sr-slou. The market nt lln t was dull. It always Is previous to a holiday , but as the session advanced trading , III view of the natural tendency to bo as near even on trades as poBslblc over the holidays , became remark ably active. Commission Housewen - good buyers und this renewal of outside supjmrt had n good dtal of Inlluoncc In dptcniiuillTg the course of the market. Ileport" of win ter wheat threshing In general were con- llrmutory of the claims of damage to the crop , but In the northwest conditions were said to be favorable for growing wheat.

September sold as high us 75u and closed ftrong at 73'tf/7Sc. Corn was steady but dull early. Sym pathy with wheat sustained prices In the face of cont'nui'il largo receipts and fnvorn- blo weather : later the market became unite active and a general advance took place. The strength ol wheat was a factor all day , but the Missouri .state report , putting the corn condition at only S4 , had Its effect. The cash ilomaml also .showed Improvement ; the local bull crowd bought liberally : re ceipts were l,12fl cars ; September ranged at from Sli,4f to : ! 4Vii3lHc ( and closed UfiV higher at SI'/s lISc" Oats wa extremely dull , but t-tendy.

The few cattle Ii = r0 sola , and prices , while not as good as the best prices early yester day , wore bette- than the extreme low prices at yost tday's close , so that there wm ? " ° nluike < l change in any direction. I lie cattle market this week was In ex tremely good condition the most of the time. The week start-'d out with a good market , and on Tuesday It was way up , the day being really the. best of the week. On Wednesday some cattle did not sell quite so strong , but still the market was peed , and the same was true on Thursday. On Friday the lireak came and at the close of < he week It In s.ife to say that values generallv are lOflloc lower than the extreme high day. The cattle tills week were on nn average of very good quality and that fact helped out the market a good deal and made prices look high on parer at least. Cows and heifers were good sellers all the week , but under the influence of the break in fat cnttl they cased off toward the last of the week. There Is one tiling that ship pers should bear In mind and that Is that there is a wide distinction between dry lot stuff nnd cattle that s how grass ; . Good fat bulls and good stock bulls were Rood sellers all the week , but common bulls had to sell lower. Stock cattle were In light receipt and comparatively llttlp business was doIng - Ing In that department. HOOS Values this morning were gen erally fie higher and th- market active nt the advance so that most everything- sold In good season. Some of the late trains which did not come In until after the rush to buy was over with did not meet with quite such strong reception , still buyers took them and the market general's was no higher , as Indicated above. Con. > li1 ring that It was the last nay of the week the market was eNC'edlncly Rood and entirely to the liking of sellers. The hogs sold very largely st $3.70ff3.75. with some choice at J3.KO. Yesterday , It will be borne In mind , the popular price for mixed loads WHS M. 7'/4 , with a $1.75 top. The hogs today sold at the highest point touched since the latter part of April , when tne marnet was about the same an It was today. An active demand has given the hog mar ket a boost upward this week and It has ne'n a long time since the trade lias been In a more healthy condition. Values were. higher every flay and at the close of the week the market was lOc higher than at the close of th = previous week. At the same time the receipts have been large , as will be noted from the table of receipts , but none too large to inset the requirements or local packersKach days arrivals have mot with ready s.ile. S1IBKP Receipts of sheep nnd lambs have been so llglrt this wek that It Is hardly possible to make comparisons. At the same time It can be said that the de mand lias boon of the very best and that packers have wanted n good many mors mutton sheep and lambs than it was pos sible to secure at this point. .In con sequence everything offered on thin market b,1s mot with ready sale at prices that wore good and strong as compared with other markets.

In the table of the armed strength of various countries , says the New York Sun , it Is customary to put Russia nrst nmnnc the nations of the world , with an active army of 1,125,000 soldiers , a nrst reserve of 2,500- 000 and a second reserve of 1,375,000 , bring ing up the total number of available soldiers on a war footing to about 5,100,000 , as against 5,000,000 In Germany , 1,800.000 In France , 2,500,000 In Italy , 1,600,000 in Austria-Hungary , and 1,100,000 in Turkey. Hut a recognized authority among military men , the France Mllltalrc of Paris , In n recent issue disputes the correctness of the popular belief that Russia can put In the field the largest army of the world In time of war and says : "The United States are not a great military power from the point of view of their effective foot forces in peace , but in time of war their permanent con tingent woufd form the nucleus of the vastest army of the world , " Prior to the beginning of the Santiago cam paign and the stirring events of a year ago at Manila it was not usual to Include the United States In any computations of avail able armed strength , the nations of Europe being compared only with each other In this regard. IJtit , as the quotation from the French military Journal shows , In all com putations of available military strength the United States must now be reckoned as a factor , and a very llttlo computation shows that the view of the French military paper is very nearly correct. In the first place , In all authentic estimates of the available fightIng - Ing strength of European countries , "soldiers" of every grade are Included in the general total , whereas the American total Is made up only of the regulars In the per manent service of the United States and without any reference whatever to the Na tional Guard , which corresponds to the llrst reserve and outnumbers the regulars In the proportion of ten to one. The number of able-bodied male residents In dllferenl countries Is put at 20,000,000 In Russia , 12- 000,000 In Germany , 10,000,000 In Austria , , - 000,000 , in France , 8,500,000 , in Great Ilrltaln , 7,500,000 in Italy , and 4,000.000 In Spain. By the federal census of 18DO the number of residents of this country In the category of males between IS and 44 years , both Included , was 13,230,000. Since then' the population of the United States has Increased 20 per cent , according to the most reliable estimate. The actuary of the treasury estimated the popula tion of the United States on Juno 1 , 1S97 , as 72,807,000 , and by the next year's census there Is very rittle doubt but that the total population will be shown to be 70,000,000 , an Increase of 12,000,000 over nine years ago , and the total number of Americans of military age will not fall short of 17.000,000. In the United States the number of physic ally disqualified persons Incapable of serving In the army Is materially less than In Russia , and the administrative business of this country , too , Is conducted almost ex clusively by civilians , whereas Russia Is under practical mintary rule , thus taking from the number of thosn available for military service all who are In the employ of the government. Moreover , while 44 years Is put generally as tbo maximum age for eoldlers , the majority of command ers and many of the officers , as well as the rank and flic , are above 41. Everything con. Dodered , It Is probable that Uncle Sam could , on a pinch , put more troops In the field for a "flnlBli nght" than any other country In the world. A diseased stomach surely undermines liealth.

Last month was hard one for -the street commissioner an the lack of funds In the street departmen at this time of the year naturally make the work go a little slow. One question bothering the city official not a. little Is the present condition o Thirteenth street. The county graded thl street for the purpose of making a bottle vnrd , and the question now Is who Is to pa for the repairs to the roadway. The rain have washed great holes In the street an In order to prevent accidents the strce commissioner has fenced In the ddngerou places and displays red lamps at nlghl It Is stated that legally the city Is reopen slble for the condition of the thorough fare , but some city ofllclalB hardly thin It fair to compel th ? taxpayers to pay th cost of filling In the roadway where It ha been washed out bccaime no culverts wer provided. In two or three places north o Missouri avenue the holes In the road ar large enough to take In a team and wager and are nearly forty feet In depth. Th filling In of these holes will lake a grca deal of money which the city cannot affor to expend at the present time. It Is under stood that an effort will bo made by th street anil alley committee of the eouncl to have the county commissioners make th repairs this spring. The big washouts hav occurred at points where gullies have bos filled without providing culverts of sulTlclen Blr.p to carry off storm 'water. Thus th embankments have been undermined nn present a great obstruction to travel. Wit a road machine , such as the county pos sesses , the work could be done nt compara lively .small expense , while If the ell tries to do it with day labor and roai scrapers the cost will run way up. 1 is stated that the city has enough In d looking after thoroughfares west of Thlr teenth street without being compelled t repair a boulevard constructed by th county. I.rvy < < > HP SliulP TonlKlit. Tonight the city council will meet In reg ulnr monthly session and according to la\ will make the annual levy. Just what th levy will bo cannot bo predicted , but th prospects are that It will come somowher near -13 mills. There has been some dlspo sltlon shown to cut the levy this year 01 account of the high levies of the last twi or three years , but with the rapid growtl of the city more money is needed every yea to meet the Increased expenses and It ma ; not. bo possible to cut the levy as much a desired. The question of vacating Commcrcla street , from C to J , along with short BCC tlons of cross streets , will most likely com : up and bo referred to a committee for In vestigation. Friday night's meeting illsposei of considerable routine business , so that to night the more weighty matters to conn up can bo given duo consideration. SwIfC'n tMK llnnoli. A Fort Worth , Tex. , paper gives the foi- lowing particulars about the recent pur chase by G. F. Swift of a big ranch in tha : state : "The ranch , located In Chlldrcsi county , contains 83,000 acres of patentee lands and a considerable amount of leasec lands. For the patented land $1.50 an acn was paid and the leases were thrown In. Th < herd consists of about 7,000 head , cxcluslvi of calves. The purchasci- pays $25,000 foi this year's icalf crop , which will numbci about 3,500 head. The sum of $17 a hcac was paid for 1,000 yearling heifers and foi the ? balance of the herd , including the regis tered buns , $20 a head. Two Snlooil KC-CIXTH Arrentnl.

Ing , however , there Is one letter which was sufllclcnt to overturn the. claims of the con testant and to prove the alleged will spuri ous. This Is the letter n In the word be- qtieathe. The forger copied the "be" at tha beginning of the word from Fair's writing. When he came to the q lie evidently had no genuine specimen to go by. He halted over the letter , for there Is a distinct break be tween It and the preceding one , and ended by making a conventional q and then going on to copy Fair In the remainder of the word. The nimc letter occurs thirteen times In the course of the will and always In the same form. Now It happened that Fair habitually wrote the letter q In a pecu liar manner. It was very different from the q of the forged will. Fair could never have written that letter in the form In which It appeared re peatedly In the forged document. The con trast Is made all the more startling by the close resemblance to the remaining letters of the word. There wer other character istic divergences which led Inevitably to the conclusion that the so-called will was a forgerybut the forger's lapse In the matter of that q alone was enough to settle the fate of twenty millions. KASY TO OUT SHSNATl'HHS. Incident Illii.stratliiu ; HIP True Vnlue of Pel III o n H. "I've often heard of folks signing all manner of absurd papers without reading them , " said a tenant In one of the largo office blocks to a New Orleans Times man , "but I saw the thing demonstrated in a stratllng fashion one day last week. A broker In an adjacent office got fnto an argument , on the subject , and , to nettle a bet about It , drew up a 'petition to Gov ernor Foster. It started out with a long rlgamarole of a preamble , the substance of which was that Judge ( naming one of the most prominent and highly respected Jurists In Now Orleans ) was a menace lo Lho public on account of his phenomenal stupidity , and wound up by rcquesllng the governor to order him to be hanged im- ncdlately. The whole thing was clothed n such a mats of pompous and high-Boiind- ng words that It was difficult to catch Its absurd purport , .but . reduced to plain Kngllsh t was about as I have stated. Armed with .his interesting document the lawyer went the rounds of the block. 'Here's an Invi tation to Judge to deliver a lecture on Roman law,1 ho said to every man hemet met , 'I want you to sign It. Shall I read t to you ? ' 'Gcod heavens ! No ! ' the other 'cllow would say , as soon as ho glanced at be mass of writing , and down would go his signature. Incredible as It may seem , he got forty-four signers in loss than two hours , ind won his bet , which was bused on forty. Out of the whole crowd he encountered only ono man who insisted on reading the docu ment before affixing his name. He lup- icned to bo a bitter political enemy of the inlge'H , and when he got through he smiled ; rlmly. 'I'll ngn ! that with pleasure , ' ho said , 'and I'm glad so many other cltlzom eel the same way. ' Hut , leaving him out , here were forty-throe Intelligent men , awyers , doctors , merchants , broken ) , bank ers , manufacturers , and other representative cltl/.ens who had deliberately but unwit- Ingly signed a petition to hang ono of our Judges ! When some of them hoard vhat they had done they were highly Indig nant , but It certainly taught them a valu able ) lesPDn. They couldn't be caught that vay again. " posTOFKirK NOTICI : .
