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.

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.

CHICAGO , July l.-ln view of the fau
that no sos-ilon of the Hoard of Trail a xvll
be hold until Wednesday , wheat toduj
showed a surprising degree of strength am
closed at an advance of l e for September
Strong cables , poor threshing returns aiic
Improved outside demand were factors U
creating n strong and active market , con :
advanced U&Tfc' ; oats closed unchanged ;
provisions advanced ZUftli'.io-
Wheat opened strong. Liverpool quotoi !
u closing advance of about ' , i'l and a good
iniuiy continental orders for wbi-at WITO In
the. market , not only for the rnsh article ,
but for futures. There were itiso report ?
of dnmiiKu to crops on the continent , France
reporting continued heavy ruins , while tht
wciithnr wn.- > also reported In tingium ! 111
wot. 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.
Mluiicnpoll&i and Duluth reported arrivals
of 521 cars , compared with 815 last week.
Chicago receipts were lf > 3 cars , thirty-throe
of contract grade ; total primary receipts
were "Sb.COil bushels ; Atlantic port clear
ances of wheat and Hour wore equnl to 387-
000 bushels , July deliveries aggregated over
l.OOO.CKiO bii be > - , but they foil largely Into
shippers' hands. There WHS a moderate
cash demand here , about 130,000 bushels be
ing roportcd Mild. Tlicic was quite general
covering by sliorts toward the end of the
session and the market , moved steadily up
ward. 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. Be
yond a ifiilpliiK trutle little was done and
the strength of other grains bad little effect ,
on prices. The cash demand WMH rather
light , while crop reports were favorable.
Uerelpts were liberal 111 curs. September
ranged from 21 0 to 21o and closed un
changed at 2141' .
Provisions showed considerable strength.
Hog prices were higher and there was
i-oino covering by shorts on renewed talk
of a strikeat the yards. The market
opened higher and advanced still more ,
closing llrm at about top prices. At the
close September pork was 12'ic higher at

CATTLE As usual on a Saturday the
P1" ! , , wns , without much Interest owing
to the light receipts of all Kinds of cattle.
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.

From reports now on flic It appears thu
fully three dozen washouts In vnrlous pnrt
of the city have been reported and th
street commissioner's force will he kop
busy for some time to come repairing th
damage done to the unpaved streets dlirln
the month of June. 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.

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.

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

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.

"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 ,
