NEW YORK , Aug. 27. ( Special. ) Henrj
Clews , head of the banking house of Ilenr ;
Clews & Co. , TiTltca :
The period at summer recreation Is now
ncorlng Its close , and from this time for
ward the ranko of Wall street operators will
bo reinforced by the return of absentees
It would ooem that , they may bo safely ex
pected to resume operations only with
buoyant expectations. During their two
months of absence the whole drift ot af
fairs , both In finance and trade , hns hern
toward the maintenance ot an active bull
campaign during the fall months. The
nctlvlty of our Industries far exceed any
thing over witnessed In the past ; nor IP
there anywhere an Indication of Impending
ov r-productlon nor of any reactionary
tendency ! and what Is still more Important ,
producers hnvo now a guaranty they never
Jind before , In the rapid growth of their
nblllty to command forolsn outlets for any
ponslblo surplus of supply In the homo
markets. At the beginning of the summer ,
there were some uncertainties in the situa
tion which produced a dcgreo of hesitancy
In the securities market and made operators
the more willing to take a breathing spell
nftar several successive months of extra
ordinary excitement. Those obstacles have
now disappeared. The crops , taking tbem as
a whole , are more than a good average.
Our gralni market may bo expected to re
ceive the stimulus of another season of
chart crops In other countries ; and , Judging
from the present temper of business on the
Produce Exchange , It seems possible that
while the quantity of our exportable surplus
of cereals may not fully equal that of the
lost two seasons , yet tholr aggregate vafuo
may easily approximate that of cither of
thono years. So that appearances Indicate
the probability of a continuance of the
remarkable creditor foreign balances that
have marked the flncnl years 1897-8 nnd
1888-9. These are- prospects the Importance
of which It Is not cosy to exaggerate.
Fiivoriililc Coin-no.
Again , the money market has taken a
course much more favorable than was feared
a few weeks ago. Those who have put
much reliance upon the Jargones" of the
reserves held by the banks of the Interior
hnvo boon justified by the current drift of
tfaa Internal exchanges. At a time when
money Is usually flowing from the metro
politan banks to tholr country correspond
ents , with a consequent depletion of the
reserves , wo find the surplus of reserves
etcadlly rising. Those meet closely inti
mate with the facts of the banking situa
tion have the least misgivings about
any possibility of any approach to real
stringency during the remaining six wepks
during which the domestic exchanges arc
opt to rule against New York. There Is
every reason to bellovo that the local banks
hold both the foreign and the home ex
changes weir In their hands , .in 1 tl nt while
they win raleo no obstacle to good rates for
money , yet they will steer the market clear
of positive stringency.
Under these circumstances and In view of
the still Increasing earnings of the rail
roads , It seems highly probable that the
market for securities will henceforward bo
borne along by strong bun currents , and
that the effects of that tendency may soon
begin to appear.
The past week wltnecsed several sharp at
tacks upon values. Results were anything
but encouraging to the bear side of the
market. Two or thrco of the nctlvo shares
were singled out and more or less liquida
tion Induced by tho. . circulation of doubts
nnd sensational predictions of lower prlccH.
BuCh shallow tricks , however , were soon ex
posed and there was no real Interruption
to the favorable conditions and news which
are new Influencing values. No change was
made > in the Dank of England rate of dis
count , the reserve standing at about the
mono point ao a year ago. London has ap
parently been a more active buyer of
American railroad Bhares ; the market there
Bhowlng considerable excitement at times ,
but thus far there has been no correspond
ing Incroaoa In the supply of security bills
in the foreign exchange market ; BO It IB
uncertain whether the buying In London
wan on foreign , or American account. Euro
pean financial markets wcro somewhat un-
Bottled by the Transvaal and Dreyfus af
fairs ; but apart from those Influences there
Is nothing unfavorable to this market In the
foreign situation. As we have said pre
viously , Berlin Is a point that will bear
watching , but there are no serious signs of
danger there yet In vlow.
Proupcronn Condition ! ! Continue.
Prosperous conditions continue through
out the land , and the wave advances rather
than recedes , with bright prospects ahead.
A largo number of working men are em
ployed today on terms satisfactory to thom-
selvifj and their employers than ever before
In the national history. Discontent la no
where Justifiably to bo found. It la true
grievances croap out occasionally here and
there , but Uioy are not of serious cense
quence. The demand has fairly caught up
to the supply In everything. There Is little
eolllng ahead. The business of the country
IB on a legitimate basts and devoid ot
boom , which la the best evidence of Its
eubstantlal and lasting character. Now that
the crops are assured and the money scare
has passed over , the Impetus to push busi
ness ahead can bo rolled upon for the bal
ance of this year at least , thereby making
It the beat record year over experienced In
bUBtneas circles.
The present high range of prices will
naturally Induce a good deal of realising
hereafter on all the advances , especially of
the Blocks that are under manipulation.
This , of course , will produce frequent re
actions In the entire market. Such fluc
tuations , however , Will tend to keep the
activity up , which Is a good feature rather
than otherwise. For the coming week I ad
vice quick turns to catch the fluctuations
which will aggregate good results for nimbi a
traders.

Holiday 1'Vclliift In Prononnci'd nnd
Other KeiitnreH I'romotn Dullncna.
LONDON , Aug. 27 , The tone of the
Stock exchange remains remarkably good ,
although owing to the heat the holiday feel
ing usual at this time of the year Is
very pronounced. The Inherent strength
of the markets .is shown in the way prices
have bocn maintained in spite of the de
pressing Influence ot the long-drawn-out
Transvaal crisis and the curious state of
things In Prance.
Consols , however , suffered from the war
like talk and lost % of a point during the
weok. Americans displayed much strength ,
with feverish dealing throughout the greater
part of the week , although this Blacked up
at the cnfl , tie run being chiefly after non-
dividend securities like Baltimore & Ohio
common , Denver & Rio Grande common ,
Norfolk & Western common and Reading
aocond preferred. All the leading descrip
tions advanced for the week from 1 to 3
points.
Money was plentiful * nnd easy until Mon
day , and It was l > s to 14 ; for a week , 2Vi
to 2 % , and on three months' bills , 3 %
per cent.
MniirliCNter Textile Fiilirlrs ,
MANOHKSTBR , Aug. 27. Last week's
market waa dull and Inactive , though firm.
There was a dogged determination displayed
by yarn and cloth buyers to leave cotton
crone , transactions being confined to retail
assortments and aggregating much lent than
the output. Oldham will practically close
this week for the annual holidays , Rounn
reports a good demand for yarns and cloths ,
with pricca strong and fractionally higher.
There baa not been much change la the
German markets for a week , although rather
mora has been done and prices are steadier.

< liiiilnlnnn ( or Bntnrclnr.
CHICAGO , AUK. . Wheat waa weak al
day today and closed at declines ot 1H foi
both December and September. Tb northwest -
west was a largo seller and the demand
waa too light to absorb offering * . Thi
weak caah market was also a factor. Corr
declined ttQ c for September , but closed
only a shade lower for other months. OU
declined ViOWo and provisions 6B7Vic.
Whoa/t opened weak at from W to H <
decline. Most of th trading waa In De
cember , but September was glvon consid
erable attention and developed fully ai
much weaknrea as the later month. Be
yond a decline at Liverpool nnd Ideal har
vesting weather In the northwest there was
nothing at tlrst lo Intluence selling. Never
theless , the Inclination to liquidate was
qulto general and but little support wa
glvon the market except from shorts , who
early In the day bought In considerable
quantities. The northwest was even weaker
than the local market and this soon be
came a. prominent factor , heavy selling or
ders coming from that section , which In
duced liquidation by local longs and also
brought selling orders through commission
houses. The result waa a steady decline ,
the market getting under puts and even
i thrn receiving no substantial support. The
cash market was badly out of line , folds be
ing generally less than lie over September
for No , 1 northern , which shippers would
not acoopt. Later It was reported that nov-
eral lots had been worked , but the effect
1 of this wan offset by advices from the
northwest that much heavier receipts wcro
1 expected next week. This was discounted
by short * , who sold heavily , and in the last
hour of the short Saturday natslon the bottom
tom apparently dropped out of the market.
Northwest receipts today were 229 cars ,
against 232 last week and 632 a year ago.
Chicago receipts were 94 cars , 6 of contract
grade. Total primary receipts were 564.000
.bu. , compared with 866,000 bu , last year ,
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour
amounted to G23.000 bu. The seaboard re
ported 38 loada Tvorkod for export. World's
shipments were expected to reach 6,300,000
bu. September wheat opened U0c lower
at 71c. It declined to 70Hc and reacted to
70V44JW54C , where It closed. December opened
VfcWic lower at 73 > &f73y4u ? , declined to 72 ? c
and closed at 72c asked.
Corn was decidedly weak for September
and easy for other futures. The demand
for 'September from shorts , the feature of
yesterday's strength , was absent today and
September WO3 for sale In a moderate way
all over the pit. Receipts at primary points
were larger and country offerings more lib
eral , causing Increased selling by receiving
houses. The cash demand was only mod-
crate. Bjecclpts were B14 cars. September
ranged from 310'3to to 3102o and closed
% 5V4c lower at 31c.
Oats , considering the weakness of other
grain markets , waa steady , the decline be
ing less than Vic. The cash demand was
llfcht and'receipts liberal , but mostly con
signed straight through , BO little Increase In
the stocks is looked for. Elevator people
were moderate sellers against country ac
ceptances. Receipts were 612 oars. Sep
tember ranged from DOVsO to 20Ho and cloned
VilH'/io lower at 20Hc ,
Provisions were dull and weak , Influenced
a little by the decline In grain markets.
There was scattered liquidation by outsiders
and scalping longs sold * little. At the
decline packers were fair buyers of all
products and the market was steady at the
close. The cash demand for meats waa
good. At the close September pork was 5c
lower at $8.23. September lard 5c lower at
5C.17V4 and September ribs 7i4o lower at

CATTLE Fresh arrivals were very small
this mornlngr , as usual on the last day of
the week , but at the same time South
Omaha had more cattle than all the other
markets put together. Of the cattle here ,
however , twenty-three cars were consigned
direct to Cudahy from Kansas City , so that
there were In reality not enough cattle on
sale to make any kind of a test of the
market. A three-load bunch of rather
coarse and sUigy cornfeds 'brought (5.15 and
some speculator's grass steers sold to a
packer at $4.65. Tiiere was nothing of any
Importance in. the way of butchers' stock ,
but only a few odda and ends. One bunch
of nine loads of common Utah stackers con
stituted the bulk of the offerings.
Receipts of cattle tills week have been
the largest of the range season to date
and much larger than for previous weeks ,
as will be noted frtjtn the table/at head of
column. At the same time the market has
been in such a good ; healthy condition thut
receipts have been by no means burden
some. Cornfed cattle were not very plenti
ful and were in demand every day. the bet
Klndii selling as high as any time , but
there has been naturally enough to briujj
about a lower tendency on the unfinished
kinds , for which grass cattle could be sub
stituted. The market on range beef gradu
ally eased off and for the week could safely
ba quoted 26c lower. Cows and heifers were
In good demand all the week , but the mar
ket gradually eased off and at the close
the common lo medium kinds were 16S20c
lower than the week b&fore and the bettor
grades 103 > 15c lower. Good heavy feeders-
were In active demand ull the week and
sold as high as ever. On the other hand
the common to medium kinds were 10&15O
lower than a week ago and a good deal more
than that as compared with ten days or two
weeks ago.
HOGS It was the last day of tha week
and there was a fair run of hogs , a combina
tion which gives the buyers the advantage
nlways. At the same time there was a
good demand , which helped to equalize
matters somewhat. Chicago did not report
n very strong market and taking all tnese
things Into consideration the packers wore
able to buy their hogs a shade to 5o
lower than yesterday. Sellers seemed to
realize that buyers had the best of It and
as a rule they tool : off and sold out early.
Light loads went principally at J4.45Q4.50 ,
medium weleht mixed loads at J4.37k04.40
and heavy pocking at J4.30S4.33.
The hog market started out nt the be
ginning1 of the present" week with a de
cline of 7V4c , but from that day on until
the close of the week the fluctuations from
day to dn.y were extremely small. The
tendency was slightly downward , but so
little change took place that at the closs
of the week the market was only about
60 lower on an average than It was on
Monday. One thing worth noticing Is the
fact that the hogs are sailing at a much
greater range of prices than was the case
a few weeks ago. South Omaha has been
a , great place for a one-prico market , but
recently the spread between tha best nwd
least desirable haa been greatly widened.
A glance at the table of average prices
will show the variations in the market
from day to day as well as for correspond
ing days of previous years.
SHEEP Today's supply consisted of nlno
loada of lambs and we veil loads of mixed
stuff. The market did not show any
particular change , but values were Just
about steady. Lambs brought J5.40 , some
good wethers J3.90 , and some old ewes J3.40.
Owing to light receipts and a very good
lemand the market was In good condition
ill the week and prices high as compared
with all other markets1. Packers > ro un
able to get enough killers to batiufy them
nul were claiming all the week that they
could use a good many more.
There Is also a. largo demand for feeding
sheep and stockers and one buyer elalma
to have orders on flic calling for over 10,000
head. The fuot that feeder cattle are BO
tilg-h IB turning the attention of farmers to
sheep and a good many Inquiries ore
irrlvinir from people who have never be
fore fed any sheep. Buyers appear to be
tvUllng to pay J3.753.3 for feedur wethers.

WHERE GRANT WENT COUnTITTG.
Mlmioarl Farm Where the Soldier
Wooed Jnlla Dent.
It Is resorted at St. Louis that after the
marriage of Mlee Julia Dent Grant to Prince
Michael Cantocuzcme itho couple will spend
the flrsi we k of their honeymoon on tha
odd Dent-Grant homestead , twelve miles
from that olty. The place Is now < ho prop
erty of L. H. Conn .and Is known as "Grant
Wood. "
The farm was owned by the famous gen
eral during the season of his greatest pros
perity. Mrs. Grant h d there boon born
and reared. Her father 'bought the largo
estate from Theodore Hunt , and enlarged
.ho tract by buying and -adding to It , until
t numbered some 500 acres or more. Mrs.
Grant Inherited 100 acres of the old home
stead. On this was buillt he famous log
cabin , facetiously named by her father "Hard
Jorabblo. " This was In their early married
Ife. and before the tlmo of rrcaperlty in
the Grant affaire had set in.
It waa only natural that General Grant
should hare felt a tenderness for the home
whore fca had wooed and won the only girl
10 ever -wanted to marry , and where so many
ol his children wcro born.
Julia Dent married Lieutenant Grant nt
heir city residence. 701 Cerre Btreot , In
847. The bowo still stands and Is in a
rood slate of preservation. General Grant ,
lion president , bought out the heirs of
Vhlto Haven at Mr. Dent's death , and took
a deep interest in the maintenance and man
agement of the farm. He placed It In the
lands of a competent overseer and spent
arso Buma of money on its Improvements ,
lo built the handsome barn which etlll
dorna the pluco , with n vJew to running ;
t as a clock farm .
Judge J. F. Long was his financial agent
and confidential friend In nil his business
enterprises In St. J.oula county. The fol-
ovlng letter from the White House BUG-ITS
low much he had his farming Interests nt
icart , even during the press of presidential
ffalra :
"EXECUTIVE MANSION , WASHINGTON ,
D. C , , Nov. 9 , 1374. Dear Judge ; I have
ours In relation to the payment of Interest
in the Jane Orr tract. Please pay off tha
can wlUi any money you may have on hand
f mlno. This calls to mind a circumstance
n connection with Elrod'a ( the overseer's )
accounts. Ho wrote me that Mr. Orr wished
to sell for J2.000. I sent him the full
amount , but he afterward Informed mo that
bo had purchased for J1.900. If there Is a
chance to see , I would like to know If I
am credited with the other $100.
' 'CarlIn Just left hero ! nnt Hvcnlng. Ho
showed mo four bills which ho owed ,
amounting In the aggregate to J600 , which I
think are all right and should bo paid.
PlooEo pay them or lot Carlln have the
money to do so , I will send you another
chock of mine In a few days , BO that you
may have money of mlno on hand at all
times to moot any proper engagements I
may have ,
"I have now about twenty-two brood
mares. I want to Increase the number to
thirty between this and spring , I told Car
lln that when ho found a mare that suited
in pedigree and price he might purchase ,
but before doing so to consult you ; that If
purchase could be made he would find the
money to do BO with you ,
"I have partially engaged o young Penn
sylvania farmer to take charge of my farm.
Ho Is honest , practical and Industrious , I
know. Yours truly , U. S. GRANT. "
Of the love affairs of the Grand * nothing
authentic has over been printed , Some time
ago a Missouri paper epoke of Alt Stanford
as an old sweetheart of Mrs , Grant , When
Interrogated on the subject she very frankly
confessed that she had never had hut ono
sweetheart In her life , nor but ono propceal
and that waa from her husband. Just whan
and whare and how tills proposal came about
Is a secret which Mrs. Grant does not share
with the general public.
Judge Long was not only a neighbor and
friend of her youth , but at one tlmo her
teacher. In later yearn this was often the
subject of inuch merriment between them.
Upon ono occasion ho banterlngly asked her
If she had over learned her Roman numerals.
In the tame playful spirit she replied : "No.
I always have to oak tbo general or one of
the children. "
While General Grant was president Judge
Long visited Washington and waa enter
tained at tbo White House. During tba
ovonlng she playfully said :
"Why have you never asked the general
for an officer1
"Because I never felt that I was entitled
to one , as I did not vote for the president. "
"Oh , that makes no difference under tba
circumstances. "
Some time after Judge Long wa > appointed
Inspector ot customs.

The One Now lu ( ho Well of ihe Poet
: : nx n Silver Plute on It.
In a shady corner of as beautiful a Nei i
Kagland garden as ono could wish to see ,
"tho old oaken bucket" still "Jiangs in the
ftell , " reports the Boston Transcript. The
memory of his country home , stirring a
poot'a fancy In a far-off city , made posslblo
the tender , simple verses that appeal BO
strongly to the heart. That was nearly M
century ago , but such poems live , and that
IB the reawon the feet of so many pilgrims
turn toward this pretty place summer after
summer.
Groenbuah Is a small section sot off from
Scttuato , and It docs not belittle the quiet
restful hamlet to ay that Its chief attrac
tion Is the farm where Samuel Wood worth
once lived. Young and old coma to visit
It from far and near , and every ono loolcn
for "tho orchard , the meadow , the deep-
tangled wlldwood. " Many changes havd
been made slnco the poet found "the aourcu
of an exqutttto | pleasure" In the clear watcra
of the well , but "the wide-spreading pond , "
the mill and the dulry-houso are still to ba
eeen , The original bouso was destroyed
long ago.
The thrifty farm Is now the property of
Henry Northt'y , whoa < i grandmother mar
ried the poet's father. Mr. and Mrs. Northey
arn exceedingly kind to strangers , although
they confess , when questioned , that there
are disadvantage In having a renowned
place for one's dwelling. Through all the
long summer Uiey are besieged by visitors ,
who ask exactly the oame questions as these
who came before , Some times an many as
100 persona have crossed the smooth , green
lawn to Uio well In one day ; frequently
there is an array of fashionable equipages
before the low stone wall that borders < ho
rood , and It Is wamotimes qulto perplexing
to satisfy such a number of uninvited
guests ,
The po t i as born In Scltuate , but not on

until ho waa 14 , whwi he entered the family
of Ilev. Nohomlah Thomas to study. He be

always signed them "Scllm , " a name that
he ua d throughout bis life. Ho became a.

and later lived In Baltimore und New York ,
where he WRH associated with Ooorgo I * ,
Morris In eatablluhliiK the New York Mir

every pafio of his printed poems speaka ot a
rellned , cultured nature , Mra. Northry
treasures a portrait of Woodworth , also
a book he owned , "The Life of John How
ard , Esq. , " In which his name Is written la
remarkably beautiful characters. The
family alia has the original copy of the
versca that have become so celebrated , aud
which , It U believed , were written In 1S17.
