NEW YORK. Kob. 14-Tho slock market
tod.iy showed a continuance of yesterday's
strength In the early dealings , but the
buying came almost altogether fiom pto-
fesslomil sources , with the purpose of In
viting outside demand. The outside demand
failed to materialize , business from the
commission houses continuing on a small
scale. In fa'-t. selling orders to some extent -
tent came on the market from commission
houses which wore attributed to western
account , tint which were without explana |
tion. The professional buyer Blew tired and
sold to realize when the futility of the ef |
forts to attract outside buying orders was I
perceived. Several points of posit lye weak-
lie ? . " wore developed by the sean'hlng i.f-
forts of the bears and stoploss orders wete 1
vncovercd by ottering prlri-n down. The re
sult was a general reactionary tendency , I
which wiped out practically all ot the
earlier gain nnd established some shaip
losses In sn--Ial sUcks. The shorts coveri-J
before the close , causing sharp rallies at
the weak spots and a general stiffening of
the whole market , as a result of wlilch
the closing was llrm nnd net changes In the
mnlorlty of stocks small. The local traction
stocks and the Industrials wore the le-idors
In the opening advance. Sugar , lob.u'-o ,
Western Union , People's Gas. Pressed olocl ,
Rubber preferred nnd so nc of the Iron and
steel stocks wore all represented by gains of
1 to IV- and Tennessee Co.il was up 314 on
rumors of a plan to retire the preferred
stock and begin dividends on the common
stock.
Continued heavy buying was In ovldom-u
In Pennsylvania. Baltimore. * Ohio , bt.
Paul , Missouri Pacllic and other storks ,
those named rising n point. Buying if some
of these was attributed to operations l.y
-speculative pool ? . The llrst point of weak
ness to develop was Third Avenue , on the
innouncemoiu of a dividend ot only 1 per
ii-nt , as compared with PA for the 1-ist niiiir-
tcr of 1SP9 nnd 14 per cent for the three
preceding years. The stock fell ar. cxUemo
4 % and caused sympathetic weakness in
the other local traction stocks. Metropoli
tan West Side preferred of Chicago jumped
f. points on the di-claratlan of its llvld nd.
The demand for stocks was listless lor the
rest of the day and the bears made succes
sive attacks on different stocks. Hi-bbor
common and preferred lost 41s anJPi
points , respectively. Continental Tobacco
was raided down 3 points on rumors of a
bond Issue and American Tobacco lost Us
earlier gain In sympathy. Sugar fell 1",4
from the top , Federal Steel lli. Paclllc
Mall Us and Baltimore & Ohio ! % The
news of the day was mostly favorable and
the reaction wus apparently due to techni
cal causes. Traders were Inclined to take
profits on the pending passage by the seivite
of the financial bill , which Is taken for
granted and which has been the -basis of
some speculation on account of Us provi
sions for expanding the currency. Money
on call continued offering In abundant sup
ply , so that speculators were not made un
easy by the evidences of absorption of cash
by the subtreasury and a. continuing de
mand from the Interior. The further life
In London discount rate caused a rtrn tone
to sterling exchange but no quotable c-hrnsc
In price.
The bond market -was moderately active
ind Irregular. Total sales , par value , $ ' . ' ,705-
United States old 4s advanced 14 In the
bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : Business In the
markets here was so slack today that the
.lealers occupied much of their tlmo In
practical joking. The earlv tendency waste
to droop , hut ttiero was a slight nanietihig
toward the close on reports that Lord Rob
erts was moving. Americans were Idle about
parity. New York bouKht nothing but Balti
more & Ohio , but the close was steady.
The bank bought 17,000 sold In German
coin and ralced tlic ! > rlce on farthing to
77s 9ijd. Money was stlif. calls ranging up
to 3 per cent. There was small borrowing
from the bank by late comers. BIllH wer.-
more plentiful. Silver was heavy at thi-
idvr.nco.

BOSTON. Feb. II. The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow :
The market has been very quiet , although
In the last day or two there have been
evidences of a slightly Improved Inquiry
nnd some sample bags have been taken.
Heavy cancpllatlons of goods are reported
but In many canes those are duo to thn
fact that the goods wore not up to. the
quality of lust year. If the .situation of Iho
manufacturers Ijaii been correctly repre
sented , however , they would welcome can
cellation , IIH they are so heavily oversold ,
The fact that there have boon cancellations
nnd that manufacturers' agents nro nppie-
honslvo of more , therefore , does not dis
turb the equanimity of the wool trade.
Consumers , however , are purchasing but
very llttlo wool and except for the sale
of two or thro. ' good-sized lots of carpet
nnd cross-broil w-ools. the aggregate busi
ness of the week would llguro small. Prices
are llrm on low woolc. hut line wools ar- >
dull. The suits ill' the week In Bouton
iimounted to 2,4i9OCO Ibs. domestic and 1.5S.1.-
nee Ibs. foreign , making a total nf 4i3ooi : ; )
Ibs. , against a total of ; ' , S13,000 Ibs. for the
previous week and a total of U67.500 Ibs.
for the corresponding week last year. The
stiles since Jimuarv 1 amount Io 25,851,600

CATTLE Trains were late In arriving ,
being delayed by the pnow , and the market
was accordlnclv late lu opening , and was
prolonged during the most of the forenoon
by the occasional arrival of additional
stock. The market ns a whole was In
good shape and reasonably active s-o that
the most of the cattle changed hands with
out very much delay after they were ready
to be. shown. As to values , there was very
little change as compared with the day
before.
I'uyors seemed to have use for a con
siderable number of fat cattle nnd the early
arrivals for the most part changed hands
very soc-n after the market opened. The
prices pnld were just about steady with
yesterday and no new features of any
Importance were developed during the day.
The quality of the offerings did not average -
ago very high , so that the sales do not
make any too good showing on paper.
The trade mlg > ht bo summed up as a good ,
Bteadv and fairly active market.
fiw * and holforn seemed to be In nulte
Rood iloinand nnd the market on that kind
of c.irtle was fullv steady. The early
arrivals changed hands In good season and
the l.iior train's iccelved a fairly coed
reception on arrhal. so that the market as
n whole was f-'rlv ' satisfactory to the
sellers. Hulls colt ! In about the samri

Aa might bo expected on n stormy day
there was not much doing In the r > tookor or
feeder market. Speculators all" seemed to
have cattle on hand and were not anxious
to load up with many more and stand t o

WALLACE , Neb. . Koh. 5. To the F.dltor
of Tha I3cc : If you' will permit mo to use
a little of the space of your valuable paper
1 will undertake to explain to your ninny
readers some of the natural advantages ot
this , the southwestern part of our state.
I bellevo that n great many farmers , me
chanics nnd stockmen In the overcrowded
east would glntlly avail themselves of some
of these advantages If they could bo brought
to see them as they exist. The recent
Orouths through which thla portion of the
state has passed have had at least ono Rno.l .
effect. They have brought tha farmer fiico
to faeo with the particular Industry for
which this locality is certainly fitted , via. :
The pasturing of stock of every description.
I have lived In Lincoln county for fifteen
years and have raised some good crops , hut ,
while drouths sometimes visit UP , thcro has
never been any drawback to raising stork.
The altitude being about 3,000 feet , wo
have , as a rule , very pleasnnt winters.
This winter all kinds of stock nro lookliiK
well , roaming almost at liberty , feeding
only on the nutritious grasses for which
Nebraska Is fast becoming famous. It
seems strange to some that sheep , horses
and cattle can grow fat i tinning ou the
prairies from January 1 to the next New
Year , but such Is certainly the cafe.
More attention than ever Is being paid ( o
the raising of rattle , as the market Is In
such good condition and bids fnlr to remain
so for an indefinite period. A great many
farmers have quit farming nnd moved a
few miles to where they would have more
loom for grazing purposes , taking along n
dozen or twenty head of cows. Some have
already as many as 100 head of cattle and
they arc looking exceedingly well. There
has not ; been ono day this winter that cat
tle and horses could not get plenty to cat
on the pralrlc.
nctxveen the Platte and Republican rivers
there Is room for thousands of head of stock
and grass for all. This district is not the
home of the extensive "cattleman , " who
monopolizes everything In sight , but only
a comparatively small portion of It is
stocked by small bunches.
Thcro are thousands of acres of land
known as the "Sand Hills , " south of the
Platte river In Lincoln county , covered
j with splendid grass , many a quarter so-
tlon of which has not had so much ns a
hoof on it since the grass started to grow
last April. Hay can be cut nearly every
where , although much heavier on the
creek bottoms , which have long since been
taken up.
A good windmill and two or three thirty-
five or forty-barrel tanks are sufficient for
the watering of from fifty to seventy-live
head of stock , as we have comparatively
few days when the wind doesn't blow. In
Bomo cases cisterns or reservoirs have been
constructed , which removes all danger of
insufficient water.
, As a sheep country this part of the state
cannot bo excelled. The only trouble IB
that there should be more sheep pastured

Government statistics show a constant de
crease In the number of horses and mules i.
In the United States , the decrease from .Inn- .
uary , 1893 , to January , 1899 , is said to ho
about 3,000,000 head , hays the Horseman
and Stockman. When it Is berne in mind
thnt both our population and export trade In
horses and mules arc rapidly Increasing
each year , it Is easily understood why prices
should Increase , as they are doing. The total
number of horses In the United States , ac
cording to government figures , on January 1 ,
3899 , was 13,665,307 , the smallest number
since 1889. The number of horses and mules
reported In the United States In January for
the last fourteen years were an follows :
