CHICAao, Feb. H.-Whcat behnved In an
tonexpllcnhlo way todny, closlm: c lower,
iftrr a nervous, Irregular session, Corn es
tablished unothcr high murk for the crop
Mid closed 4e over yesterday, Onts were
ic up nnd provisions UlVBCOc Improved.
At any ntUKo of tho speculative play In
wheat It wan extremely dliricult to discern
tho Impulses governing the market. H
was a iiervous, hesitating, Irregular nffnlr,
Koiicrnlly dull, but full of unaccountable
Whims. The profundity of even the exports
Was taxed to tho limit nnd their "advlco"
on tho proper mnnner of playing thn mar
ket was ornculous nnd vague. The market
yesterday advanced Iji the face of bearish
news; today It declined on ndvlces which
on tho surface looked emphatically bullish.
May fipened n shade higher to n shnde
lower at "fie to 75Tk and under the Influenca
of advances at l,lverpool nnd on tho con
tinent advanced early on a small trade to
iS'ic. On tho advanco trade became very
dull and a llttlo foreign selling added to
local liquidation sent May off to "Mic Tho
corn strength later frightened some wheat
phorts, whoiio covering caused n rally to
76lc. Longs, owing to tho nervous, uncer
tain nppenraneo of tho market, thought It
ndvlsablo to secure prollts. May conse
fluently turned heavy and closed at tho
bottom, So under yesterdny, nt "SHiJfnVHc.
I'rlrnary receipts wore 449,000 bu,, compared
with 479,000 hu. a year ago, this comparison
being onn of the bullish factors Ignored by
the market, Minneapolis and Dulllth re
ported a total of 311 cars, against 2S9 last
week and Mo the corresponding day last
year. Fresh nrrlvnls hero numbered 61
cars, 1 of which graded contract. Kxportcrs
reported 10 loods taken for foreign ship
ment. Seaboard clearances In wheat and
flour were equal to 3O2.000 bu. Thero was
& better domestic Hour demand reported,
but half tho Minneapolis mills wore closed
nd tho cash demuuil was slow. Wheat for
July delivery wns still sold rather freely
anil tho discount under May widened to
Corn was very firm but extremely dull up
trt noon. After that It became suddenly
active nnd aggressively strong. Tho mar
ket adhered to Its recent dally habit of
making a now high prlco for thn crop. Tho
closing spurt was duo to covering by shorts
mado timid by the absence of country sell
ing, moderato receipts, higher cables and
the continued poor grade of corn received
here. May sold between KlUiftlWc nnd 4ic
and closed y&so higher nt lOUft li)(ic. lie
celpts were 320 earn. Tho clearances, 8iV),.
0V) bu.. were a material benefit to tho mar
ket, although tho shipping business wns
slow.
Oats wcro fairly active and firm, the corn
strength, a good cash demand nnd mod
erato receipts being the supporting fnctors.
May sold between 2r-iift25?io and 25.4c nnd
closed He higher nt 25Vc. ltecclpts were 306
cars.
Trovlslons ruled llrm, though rather dull
nnd nnrrow. Tho demand, mostly for pork,
was started by tho strength of thn hog
mnrki't and tho paco was maintained later
with the nsslstanco of tho corn strength.
Slay pork sold between J14.12U and $14.35
nnd closed 20c higher nt H4.32H; May lard,
between 7.6T nnd J7.60, closing 2l4o higher

AVnllltiR- for Terms of StepI Merger
Cnusrs A put by In Trndlnir.
NEW YORIf. Feb. 14. There was a
markcl relaxation today of the pressure to
sell stocks which carried prices down
ward yesterday and prices showed some re
covery. Tho recovery did not set In until
the market had been further tested by the
nears, causing general declines below yes
terday's level. In rnnsnntience tho net
changes of the dny are as a rule small, but
mosiiy gains, l.oniiou aavanceu prices oo-
roro tne opening Here, but turnei sellers
after nercelvlne tho drift of sentiment In
New York and sold a few thousand shares
ou balance. Thero was no manifest causo
for the recovery, nlthough a few usually
obscure stocks showed aggressive strength,
but tho fact was very evident that the
urgent pressure of speculative liquidation
was relaxed. Tho bears who Bold yesterday
covered their contrncta In cousenUelice.
This probably accounted In great part for
ino snow or firmness in tno mnrKoi. j ne
bears have received too many severe les
sons In tho lust few months not to have
become rather timid and especially In the
face of tho possibilities constantly hinted
t or runner important financial uevciop-
ments. In yesterday's decllno much win
made of tho fact that the stocks generally
Included In tho Interests of tlw prominent
financier who has borne tho most Im
portant part In tho recent consolidations
wcro unuormiy weak and tins was niicgen
to bo duo to tho coining departure of this
financier on his annual vacation trip to
Europe. As though In renlv to those con
siderations tho stocks thus Involved wero
all supported todny, Including Fedcrul
Steel, tho Erles. tho Rendlngs, Northern
Pacific and National Tube. The sham re
covery In tho steol stocks served ns un
admonition tn those who have counted upon
a ureaK in ine group, 'i tie announcement

speculative world Is profoundly puzzled as
to what the terms will be uiid tho exact
period when they will bo published. With
turn development Hanging over tun muritot
there was more or less apnthy In the trad
ing. Thero wns nn sign of resumption nt
tho heavy buying by banking Interests
which bus so often been In -evidence, previ
ous to tho recent consolidations. Pore
Mnrnuette rose St. Louis Sc. San Fran
cisco 2i nnd the second preferred 414, Chi
cago Qrent Western preferred 3 nnd a num.
tier or minor stocks a considerable amount
on persisting rumors of consolidation.
.acknwannn roso an oxtremo 314 and Dcln-
woro & Hudson 414 over Inst night. General
Klectrlc was conspicuous for nn extreme
advance of 16 points over last night, with a
reaction of 314. Tho local traction stocks,
Sugar nnd Tobacco, wero conspicuously
strong nt times nnd rsortli American was
forced un 2 points. Atchison wns lifted
above 67. Nono of theso gains wero fully
held and the tone of the market was rather
heavy at tho closo and tho volume of deal
ings verv mnterlallv curtailed. A number
of newly listed securities wero dealt In for
tno first time, including stocxs or American
Agricultural Chemical conmanv. tho Cruci
ble Steel company and tho Toledo, St. Louis
&-. Western Railroad company, the. quota
tions of each being advanced over tho
opening prices.
Indications contlnun for a hnrder money
market, the subtrcasury today taking $207,
000 from tho routine operations In spite of
heavy disbursements for pensions. Sterling
exchange was lower In spite of the contin
ued active demand for money in London.
There was less doing In railroad bonis
and prices continued to move Irregularly.
Total sales, par value, $4,045,000. United
States now 4s and 6s advanced U per cent
eacht last call.

CATTLE Thero was a fairly good run of
cattle here today for this tlmo of the week,
and as unfavorable reports were received
from other points the tendency of prices
was downward. Trading was rather slow,
and as a result It was late before tho
yards were cleared.
There wore about 30 cars of steers on
sale, and whilo the choicest heavy cattlo
did not sell much different from yesterday
bids on the less desirable kinds were nil
of a dlmo lower. Sellers found It a dliricult
matter to dispose of some of the common
and half fat stuff, and-ln some cases they
were calling bids 10tfl5c lower, or 15(ff25e
lower for the week. .

kinds seemed to be a little iinoven. Some

however, wcro hard to move today, nnd

South Omaha News
Membors of Mayor Kelly's official family
nro commencing to worry about the over
lap, which now appears to bo lnuvltnble.
At tho Inst report of the city clerk, the
judgment fund cpntnlned only $2,600, and
out of this tho sum of $958 was tnKon 10
pay J. M. Toblns for tho construction of
tho Becoud ward flro hall. J. H. Wntklus
hns a claim In for lumber furnished for
sidewalks amounting to about $1,000, and
when theso claims nro paid there will bo
very llttlo loft In tho Judgment fund. Thero
Is still $900 In tho general fund, which
amount will bo spent long beforo tho next
levy Is available. Of tha $8,313 levied for
water purposes this entire nmount has
been paid out for hydrant rentals.
Tho pollco fund Is now exhausted and ns
tho department la costing $1,200 a month
It can easily bo seen that there will bo an
overlap In this fupd of $7,200. Morq than
likely tho salary fund will hold out, as the
councllmen look to this fund for their
monthly stipend, Thon thero Is tho public
fund. The lights now cost tho city on an
average of $1,000 a month, and an overlap
of not less than $6,000 Is apparent at thU
time,
Thero Is also a sbortago In tho stroet re
pair fund, but somo money will come to
this from the county road fund, .Unless
somo arrangement Is mado, however, no
extensive Improvements on tho streets can
be miulo until tho next lovy Is available.
Enough money has been paid Into tho
so-called "consclenco fund" to pay for tha
hose wagon recently ordered, but tha ques
tion Is where Is the money to come from
for the horses, hose, harness and other
equipment" needed.
Tho hose for this new wagon, which Ii
destined for the Second ward, will cost
$800; the team, $250; tho harncsi, and
furnishings $300; so thnt It wilt be seen
thnt $1,500 will bo needed to equip tho new
flro hall after the wagon arrives.
Wlhtln tho last dny or two tho city has
drawn from tho county treasurer tho 1
per cent reservo available up to 1894, which
amounts to nearly $1,600. This sum will
bo divided Into various funds and used
to pny off a number of small bills.
From this tlmo on tho pay of tho city
flro department will run behind nt tho rate
of $555 a month, which will mako the over
lnp In this department $3,330. Some pro
vision will mosl likely bo mado as soon
as possible to arrange for funds to pay
tho flromon nnd policemen In order thnt,
tho departments may not bo crippled.
Taken altogether It Is estimated thnt tho
overlap will amount to not less than $25,
000. at tho dote of the fiscal year.
Comity Won Is Settlement.
County Clerk Hnvcrly has sent a com
munication to the city council of South
Omaha In connection with tho claims of
tho county against tho city. Ho snys that
tho Hoard of County Commlsloncrs detdre
that n committee of the council be ap
pointed to confer with tho commissioners
with a vlow to reaching a sottlemont of tho
outstanding claims.
This qutfctlon of the nmount South Omaha
owes the county comes up semi-annually
and ns n general thing little If any at
tention Is paid to tho bills rendered by tho
county auditor. Tho city, on, tho face of
tho claims, owes tho county about $7,000
for feeding prisoners sent to tho county
Jail, In defense of Its position, the city holds
that thero Is a counter clnlm sufficient to
offset any bill tho county may render. It
is for tho purpose of holding n conference
with a view to arriving at somo conclusion
that tho commissioners would Ilka to have
a committee nppolnted.
Telephone Servloe.
ny a deal of hard work tho Nebraska
Telcphono company hns practically suc
ceeded In putting a stop to complaints
about induction on tho lines. When tn
Omaha Electric Light company entered
South Omnha with Its high voltngo wlrei
It caused havoc with tho telephone linos.
Work was commenced Immediately to re
move telcphono lines from poles In tho vi
cinity of tho electric light wires nnd this
has now prnctlcnlly been completed. 8omo
circuits are yet to ho moved, but thero ts
a scarcity of wlro Just now which Is caus
ing a slight delay. Mnny subscribers are
putting In metallic circuits and tho new
directory recently Issued by tho telephone
company shows thnt nearly 90 per cent of
all subscribers aro now on metallic lines,
nnd thus rafo from annoyance by Induction.
Proponed Xmv Motor Service.
Numerous pcoplo Interested' In tho prog
ress of South Omnha nro figuring upon se
curing a franchise, for a new motor line. Tho
plan ns outlined Is to obtain a franchise in
both Omnhas and thus bo In a position to
enter Into actlvo compotltlpn with tho com
pany now doing business hero and Ih
Omaha. Ono plan Is to construct a lino
from Sheoly station to tha Live, Stock ex
change and mako a low rnto faro from tho
end of tbo Omaha lino to tho stock yards. It
Is stated thnt such a lino will nccommodato
a lnrgo number of peoplo who aro now com
pelled to transfer nt Sixteenth nnd Leavon
worth streets In order to reach South
Omahn. Another line Is proposed north on
Eloventh street, Missouri avenue, etc.
Contest Over Chnrlrr.
Quito a delegation of South Omnha bus
iness mon remains at Lincoln In tho Inter
est of the proposed charter. Soma mem
bers want ono thing nnd others another.
For Instance, P. A. Wells, ono of tho attor
neys Interested In drafting tho charter,
called on Governor Dietrich Wednesday nnd
urged thnt an election bo held hero In tho
spring. Other members of tho delegation
called to protest agnlnst an election. Coun
cilman Ed Johnston In still thero fighting
for his paving amendments and Incidentally
for a proviso calling for a spring election.
Mayor Kelly and his friends are, of course,
opposed to a spring election, nnd members
of tho committee In charge, of tho charter
hardly know what to do.
Squat (ers' Orilllllllli'i' Sinned,
Yesterday Mayor Kelly nttached his signa
ture to tho ordlnnnco requiring tho chief of
pollco to rcmovo alt buildings found on pub
lic streets nnd alleys. This mntter was

engineer It went through, taltlng tho regular
course. Engineer Heal reports about seventy-five
structures of various kinds located
