Ilpprrssliiu ReiorM from Clilna Do ot Hurt Anierleiiii Mnrlict. NEW YORK, July lfl.-The derircsslon caused on foreign stock exchanges by the sinister reports from China hnd no effect In tho local market nnd Indeed did not hurt tho American securities In tho foreign markets. Oood advances were established In London for Union Pacific nnd for Balti more & Ohio before tho opening here and International houses bought freely In this market of those and other stocks. The total purchases for London account In this market were estimated nt 40.000 shares. The movement In Union Pacific was the mnlnsprlng of this market all day nnd Baltimore (t Ohio was also an active fea ture. Tho movement In these stocks was primarily based on tho rritlmntcs for the year, as now mndo up. A statement of Union Pacific earnings, having tho nppear anco of authority, states that net results for the yenr, expluslvo of land sales, nmount to over $20,000,000, which would In dicate a belanco of something llko 9 per cent for the common stock. ThUi state ment nnd the fart thnt Inside Interests wero avowed buyers of the stock gave color to the reports that It Is to be placed on 11 I per cent basis. Tho Baltimore fc Ohio system has yielded for the yenr not enrnlngH of $12,381,791, from which Is to be deducted fixed charges or nearly $9,000.(0) and preferred stock dividends of J2.40O.OfiO. Tho fact that net earnings for this system hnve been Increased over 82 per cent for the year Is due to the heavy outlays, made by tho receivers In tho closing period of their administration nnd charged to operating expense Inst year. This state ment, coupled with tho fact of tho recent return from Europe of several of the direc tors, was the occasion for rumors that n dividend was to be declared on tho pre ferred stock. The stock readily responded nnd rose at ono time 3H.

NEW YORK, July 16. Early events on the cotton exchange were exciting nnd thoroughly disheartening to tho bull forces, which sufTered so severely In Saturday's selling movement. Nearly all the Influences beurlng on the market were again of a prlco Improvement. In view of tho heavy decline nnd enormous unloading on that dav the bulls looked for a nntural reaction this morning, llut tho cables were weak, tho crop news good and the weather re ports nearly all that could bo expected. Moreover, tne China news wns such as to prevent fresh Investment buying for out side account. With Liverpool futures down 5(8ii points and spot cotton off our market opened easy with July 2 points higher and later deliveries 29 points lower. There was a slight further decline after the call and then a brief period of hesita tion followed by, a sharp rise In keeping with a turn In 'the tendency of prices abroad. But before mlddny the market had developed fresh weakness nnd under heavy selling for both accounts dropped rapidly to the lowest level ot the morning, n net decline of 810 points. Liverpool sold large amounts of summer month s cotton here and tho south sold the new crop positions. Predictions that tomorrow's government crop report and weather bureau's state ment would be a decided argument helped to weaken sentiment In bull quarters. The short time policy of Fall River mills was regarded ns but a temporary relief for the congested cloth situation at home, while southern mills reported a superabundance of raw material and manufactured goods with fow orders. During the early after noon tho market was speculatively flat nnd featureless. The late phases were not spe cially Interesting and prices varied scarcely four points. The close was steady with prices 5&8 points net lower. Spot closed (Hilot. 3-16.- decline: mlddllnir unlands. 9 13-16c; middling gulf, 10 l-16c; sales, 1,114 Dales. NEW ORLEANS.

Hartz 101 Other buyers 132 449 TotalB 2,955 6,630 4.2S4 CATTLE There was a liberal run of cat tle today, a good proportion of the receipts, however, were western grass cattle. The mnrket on cornfed cattle opened rather slow, as Interest seemed to center uround the western cattle. Good cornfed stufT, though, sold nt just about steady prices with last week. The fact that thu west erns are coming quite freely naturally has a tendency to make buyers neglect the commoner and half fat cattle, and prices were, perhaps, a little off, some calling It a dime lower In certain cases. The cow market was well supplied, but good stuff sold about the sftmc as at the close of last week. Anything on tho com mon order, however, was very dull und weak. Canners are still In poor demand. There was no particular change In bulls and calves. Tho stockcr and feeder trade took on more life today than It has had In a long time. The general rains over tho state have given a more favorable outlook for corn, and It is thought the demand from the country will now revive. Feeder buyers took hold to some extent of the half-fat stuff, which has not been the case for some tlmo pnst, and helped out the same on that class of stock. The general market for feeders could safely be quoted 10c higher, with some sales better than that, as compared with last week. Packers bought the bulk of the western cattle today. A string of 4-year-old steers brought $4.60, but they were in good llsh and much better than the cattle that brought $4.10 a week ago. Another string of steers sold for the same prlco they brought last week. Some of the cows brought about the same as they did a week ago, while others sold lower. So few western cattle have been on the murkct that It fsj difficult to make comparisons.

PASTURAGE IS GREATLY BENEFITED Reports Received nt Itnllrond llenil iinartrm Show Hint 1'rrelpltn tlon Occurred Where It Wns Most .VeedpU. The somber-hued atmosphere which prevaded the general headquarters of Omnhn railroads nil Inst week gave wny yester day to rosento-tlntcd visions. Instead of barren cornfields and attenuated freight traffic, officials conjured up the Inspiring picture of waving fields of growing corn and subsequent demand for all available rolling stock to furnish transportation facilities for tho enormous crop. Sunday's splendid rain wns the happy medium which dispelled the gloom and Insured Nebraska's full corn crop. "The rain wns of inestimable value," said Freight TrnfJIc Manager Munroe of the Union Pacific. "It was certainly most timely, for the corn crop was badly in need of It. Nothing can now Intervene to prevent great crop lu this state this year. The rain extended over tho entire Union Paclflo system In Nebraska. The greatest precipita tion wns along the eastern boundary of the state near the river, although there was a heavy fall clear through the central and western portions. Growing earn was not alone benefited; tho pasturage In the west ern part of the state where the cattle In dustry Is carried on extensively wns wonder fully helped. Thore Is no doubt now that tho ranges wilt be In excellent condition this fall." Similar reports wero made at the head quarters of tho Uurllngtou and the Elkuorn. The rnln extended over both systems and officials were correspondingly elated. Hut llttlo damago was suffered by any of tho rallronds In the way of washouts and nearly nil trains wore ablo to run on schedule time yesterday. Sunday night somo delays were experienced owing to soft tracks nnd minor washouts, but tho difficulties wero In all cases easily remedied. The main trouble was encountered In west ern Iown and trnlnB from Chicago duo to arrive In Omaha Sunday night wero nearly all delayed from two to four hours. MBASS MILLIONS TO FARMERS. Sunday's Rnlns Do Untold Good In Iown nnd Nrlirnskn. "I am In receipt of reports from all over the state," said Joseph A. Connor, the grain mnn, yesterday, "nnd tbo rain was general all over Nebraska and Iowa, It ran from ono and a half to three lnchce in volume, anj will mnke this state $10,000,000 richer. It affected tho markets in Chicago so that corn dropped 3 ccr.ts and wheat 1 cent be cause of the breaking of the drouth. Al though tho rainfall wns heavy, no damage Is reported to small grain. I predict that corn will go through all right without rain unless we havo Intensely hot winds be tween July 25 and Auguett 5. I think we havo molsturo enough now In the ground to mako an average crop In Nebraska, If no more rains conio." "This rain means not simply hundreds of thousands to Nebraska," said Harry C. Miller, "but millions, In saving the crops; for If we had hnd dry weather for a day or two longer It Is Impossible to conjecture bow serious tho result might havo been. If you divide tho state by a line drawn north and south through Hastings you will find thnt all east of It will have, It no fur ther unfavorable conditions are encoun tered,, one of the largest crops ever har vested, while In the section west ot that lino, the best that this copious rnln can do will bo to make halt a crop." "This rain has proven the salvation ot our sugar beet crop," said John E. Utt ot the Douglas County Reel Growers' association. "It puts our fields In flno condition and I begin to feel that In spite of adverwe cir cumstances we will come out somewhat ahead on our experimental venture." CURTIS I.WBVriGATIXO CHOPS.

Hayes, a merchant ot Kencsaw, Nob., 1b In the city looking for his truant wifet Sadie, who, ho says, deserted her homo last week and camo to Omaha with Charles Hayes, his cousin. Hayes' reason tor think ing that the couple aro in Omaha Is based on the fact that their baggage was checked to this point. An officer was detailed lo assist Hayes in his research. Together they went to the union depot In hopo ot finding tho express man who had delivered the trunks, but found Instead that the Saratoga had not been called for since Its arrival. It was still In tho storage room. Granted permission to see It, Hayes was much surprised to find an old battered chest which had been used by hla wlfo ns a receptoclo for cast-otf cloth ing and not the one she would naturally take with her on n railroad trip. Ho be lieves now that tho checking of this pleco of baggnge to Omaha is but a blind to throw him off the scent nnd that his wlfo and her companion hnve driven to another town in tho vicinity of Kencsaw and bought tickets to somo distant point. Tho woman Is described as 21 years old, five feet three Inches In stature, weight 115 or 120 pounds, light hair and blue eyes, Sho was wearing when Inst seen a blue skirt and light waist, with tan shoes.
