NBW YORK , Jan. 19. tiradstret-t's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say :
Money has become , decidedly easier this
week. Call loan rates are now back to a
lower average than at any time since the
early autumn. Supplies of funds available
for the purposes. of Wall street arc In
creasing and lenders not only show a re
newed illsporltlon to put < nit their money
on time at about JitJ'/j per cent , but are
also much less critical as to the character
and finality of thfr collateral offered. The
general easing off of rates for the London
and continental markets has relieved the
Fi'.UmtUm hej-e by removing the matter of
Immediate gold exports. In abort , the con
ditions which were mainly renjMinsIble-
the disorganization of the speculative mar
kets In December have undergone a decided
change for the better. Nevertheless , the
ability to carry stocks once more on com
paratively easy terms has not had Its ex
pected clfeet In reviving speculative Inter-
opt and activity. Transactions have dwin
dled and on several darn this week the
dealings were so limited and the tone of
the market so utttrly perfunctory as to
suggest a comparison with the dullness or
midsummer.
The public Is evidently doing little or
nothing and commission houses report a
dearth of orders , exec ? ' so far as Inves
tors arc once more coming Into the market
and picking up bonds and dividend-paying-
railroad stocks and referred indubtrlalr.
This lattei- movement has naturally as
sumed some dimensions , as rates for mouoy
have deciliit'd , though there Is no very lu-
tenro dorr.and from the Above source. The
professional In .he absence of the public
have found little opportunity to Indulge In
serious speculative demonstrations and
thtlr activity has been limited to a few
stocko In vhlch the board room traders
have produced generally extremely moder
ate iluctuatlon ? . Speculation , In short ,
seems to bo waiting and the general feel-
nr Is that the factor In which Its course
lepends IB the outcome of the mllliary op
erations In Houth Africa , or rather the
way In which the London market wII | bo
affected by - the next Important develop
ment from that quarter. This IK to all ap-
icaranccq demonstrated by the detffto of
strfiigth to which prlcefi hero developed In
he news thai the British forces had taken
a more advantageous strategic position , al-
hough the Flight Improvement wbleh fol-
owed In t.'ti London market did not de
velc-'i any particular foreign buying of our
itochd. It secmf' , however , tha : the street
ind the public have come to the conclusion
that should the Uoer.-i Inlllct any further

and eKpeclally In tluiKe bruiuhex of speu -
latlon which go to radically affect tlmtn-

unfavorable features. It IN true that rttul

The Iron and Hteyl Industry , Justly re
garded us a trustworthy Index of genera
trade , lit still actively employed on old or
ders. and new liuelnet. * Is limited for re.i
sons unnccfHhnry to recapitulate. It Ix evl
drnt that the few reactions In prlcox tdinwi
In micli an nrdtnaHly dull prlod as tbi
have Bircngthoncd rather than lesson
contldence In the Cut me . Signs of prepara
tion for the coming season's neuls are
shown in the reported active Inquiry for
steel rails at the west , recant Hales at Chicago
cage aggregating 80,000 tons , some of which
arc for northwestern railroads and some
for export. Production Is as evidently hard
pushed as ever , ami the question of fuel
supplies rather than of new ordoiH en
grosses manufacturers' attention. Some
concessions in foundry Iron are noted , but
aside from this price changea are within
very narrow limits. The other metals are
rather stronger , copper and tin being weak ,
tbo latter In sympathy with advances
abroad. Spring trade In hardware l.s opening -
ing weli , and advances In prices tire gen
erally reported.
Cereals are dull In nearly all directions ,
and the pressure of enlarged stocks , par
ticularly abroad , has been inllucntlal this
week in bringing about a reaction In prices.
Corn and oats , howrver , are rather llrmer
on foreign buying , though sympathetically
affected by the decline in the leading cereal.
Coffee Is actl\e. speculation being Iiillu-
enced by higher ICuropean advices and evi
dence of a large don'cstlc consumptive de
mand. Apparently Improved British pros-
pectH In South Africa arc assigned as the
reascn for the better buying of cotton , re
sulting In a fractional advance thin week.
The crop movement still continues much
smaller than expected by the hc.irx. Cot
ton goods are meeting- with pond soring
account. Concessions at second hand are
reported , owing mainly to backward deliv
eries now arriving being resold by receiv
ers. Rather more Inquiry In noted for wool ,
particularly at Boston , and men's wear
Kales for next fall arc meeting with good
patronage , notwithstanding the advances
demanded. Fine wools are at about the
highest point reached In twenty yearn.
Lumber Is strong , particularly pine
grades , principally because rj smaller
stockH and possibly a smaller cut In the
northwest , as a result of lack of snow and
partly because of a hopeful feeling IIH to

STRANGE WINTER WEATHER
llllllliy Hrce/eN , Open \Vllldo\VN ,
> velnhlVcnrliiK Appnrcl nnd
TlilnKN I'lienonieiinl ,
The weather man nays the prevailing tem
perature is phenomenal , and even the lay
man who knows nothing whatever about
weather science agrees with him. It Is re
markable , admittedly so oven amrng the
Imaginative oldest Inhabitants , frr Onr.ihu
to experjecve such mild weather In January.
Thl * gcctlin of country IH In latitude .sufll-
clcntly north to warrant cold weather in
midwinter. Thus far there has not been a
really cold day , as cold IB measured in thlrf
climate.
Only a ffw years ago there jvas a big bliz
zard about this time of year a blizzard that
went dowr Into hutory. Laet year at tlilt
time the weather wan Intensely cold , net
only In Omaha and vicinity , but In the south
clear down to the Oulf of Mexico. Weathfli
men regtir } It as particularly remarkable
that ujnperaturo In the north this ycai
Is about tlf same as In the south , In acveruj
Instances the difference being In favor oi
the north.
Thus far this winter there has been nlmo.n
a.s much old at Vlcksburg nnd Natchez , am
even at N9w Orleans , as there has been Ir
Omaha. Iota Is u question which weathei
scientists jre trying to solve. All day Ions
there bag been a aummcr-llke bulmlnest , u
( Omaha. Hen who work Indoors have toilet
alongside of wide-open windows and labor
ers on the streets have had no occasion to
UPC wraps or gloves. In some instances
outdoor workmen have discarded their
coats.
The buds on the trees appear almost
ready to c-pcn their folded leaves and In gen
eral there Is something decidedly spring-like
about the whole situation.
GASS SCHOOL IS WIDE OPEN
Sixteen llnoniNIMV Itendy for Oe-
Cliimney Will .1lnle ClinilKCN
.VeecHKiirj til llnumlorloM.
A new schedule of school districts has
gene into effect owing to the opening of
the Cafe school with a capacity for over
SOO pupils. Nine of the sixteen rooms In
the building were ready for occupancy ono
week ago , and there are already 446 chil
dren In attendance. The new boundarleu
now being arranged will include consider
able tetrltory in the Cass school district ,
which has formerly been tributary to the
Central and Kellom schools. A small
amount of the Dodge chool patronage will
also be diverted to the Cass district.
The Cass school IB considered one of the
finest slxteen-room , strmtttrns for educa
tional purposes In the country. Modern ap
pliances have been adopted for the heatIng -
Ing , lighting nnd ventilating systems ) and
the building Is a succom from bull nn
artistic and a servlcoablo point of view.
The delay In opening thn building has left
several hundred children without , school
privileges since the beginning of the term ,
on January 2. The Interior did nnt become
dry as rapidly as expected and It was neces
sary to use artificial heat to get the plaHtor-
ing In proper condition.
Tlie i'nclllc school , similar In design lethe
the C.IBS school , will be renciy for occupancy
March I. Finishing work Is being pushed
on the Interior and workmen are making all
the progress pohfllble. The Saunders school
will bo completed In about three months.

The executive commltti'o ol the National
Kducatlon.il association , of which Superin
tendent C. ( i. Pearne Is a member , is still
pondering over the question of the conven
tion city for 1900. The railroads entering
the three cities under consideration show
roltietnnro In meeting the terms whlrh th3
committee considers right nn3 proper , and
It Is poredblc that the convcntln will b :
held at r.omo point not hlthorto contem

ai ; candidates arc Montreal , lin.st.n and
Charleston. S. C. The business men of the
latter city have been particularly active and
