Young, alias Frajk Culver, also using the name M Wilson, who was ar rested In Sioux City Saturday on Informa tion from the Omaha department, was brought to thla city last night by Detective Donahoe. He was booked as a suspicious rharscter last night, but will probably be tried for obtaining money under false pre tenses. Young is said to have sold the fur niture In a house at 70S South Eighteenth street, of which he was not the owner. The house, which has been used aa a room ing establishment, has been the cause of considerable litigation. Young, it la said, knew the conditions surrounding the prop erty and by way of turning It to his own advantage Inserted an advertisement In the papers offering the furniture for sa. He used the name Wilson and asked purchasers to call at the Thurston hotel, where he was lodging.

PANAMA PAYMENT NO CAUSE F0RW0RR Y hrlnkaire In Price of I.eadln Rail roads from Top Klgeres of lOOil Amounts to from Twenty to Thirty Points. NEW YORK, liarrh 15. (Special.) Henry Clewe in his weekly msrket letter rays: Monetary conditions nave at last had their effect upon the stock market, and the situation is now working out Its own cure ty natural and effective means. Liquida tion has been severe, and In eome cases in tensified by ptrsonal differences; but the declines were chleflv due to exhaustion of money supplies through the locking up of large sums In financial operations, which would receive scant consideration if pre sented now in their original form. Although the situation has been greatly Improved bv the heroic treatment of the asl few months, and the credit situation Is much stronger thi..i a year ago. It would be pre mature to assume that the turn has come, lt Is practically certain there will be no re lief for the money market until the fundi required for April settlements find their way back again to the banks, and this is a matter of several weeks. The west Is rapidly gaining In Its power over the money market, and this yeir Its regular ra nulrements are unusualiv heavy owing to Jhe large volume of buelriese. A great land speculation Is In progress In the west and very large numbers of settlers have taken up new properties on which large pay ments must be made on April 1 according ti custom. It l quite possible, therefore, that the return movement of currency may be not only bsokward. but 'mailer than itHunl. thus preventing low rates of inter est here for some Uttla time ahead. Ho Cause for Worry. A good deal of urinecssnry concern has been excited by the prospective payment of Ho.oOO.uoo to France for the Panama canal, in all probability that payment ill not be made before midsummer, and the full amount. Including the 110.000.000 to Colom- ihin. will most likely be pnid out of the treasury witnout touching tne government deposits held by the banks. The treasury n w holds 71,000,0ii0 In addition to the amount deposited in hanks, and judging by the heavy customs receipts, which promls'j to continue, that sum will be very consider ably augmented before the canal payment becomes due. This transaction when com pleted will, - therefore, contribute to eice rnther than make stringency In the money market. While In the treasury this IlO.OyO. lioo or tso.oou.ooo will bo unavailable, when released it will probably go to the Paris banks and there eventually reach the money market, or If Interest rates -were high the owners might find It more profit able to temporarily use the funds In this market. In any case the transaction is likely to make little or no disturbance In this market, and the exchange required will probably bo provided well In advance. Such operations are always discounted bv ehrewd bankers, who for the small profit In such operations act as Invaluable balance wheels against extreme movements. The only unpleasant feature In this connection Is the steady absorption of funds by the treasury through customs receipts; but thk movement Is In no sense due to the canal payment. Some Improvement in the monetary Nltuatlon ought to take place after the middle of April, yet loanable funds are likely to continue more or less scarce throughout the month of April at least, besides. the requirements for strengthening trust company reserves must not be overlooked. Credit Is In better shapa than for many months, though we are by no means out of danger in this respect. Shrinkages In Stocks. Prices of securities are now considerably below the high level of 1902. In many caej the shrinkage has been very striking. He.e are a few comparisons in the leading stocks for 1902 and 1903: ' 1 Declines 1902. 1903. from High. Low. High. Low. 1902.

Union Pacific ,....113 93 104 90 23 Blight recoveries have taken place since the above low prices were recorded, but It is evident that ths leading railroad shares have declined between 20 and 30 points alnce the top last year. . The Industrials, In many instances, hava made more serious declines, but these are less satisfactory indicators than the more substantial railroad proper ties. In the face of such heavy liquidation It would seem hazardous to calculate upon much lower prices, so long aa business con tinues at Its present volume. Production in all lines of Industry Is steadily increas ing, and thus far has not caught up with consumption; the only cerlous menace to continued activity being the probability of renewed labor agitation during the coming spring. Many of the large operators are still absent from the city, and no Import ant developments In financial circles are expected until their return. A conservative feeling Is prevalent among bankers, and In Fome quarters there Is a belief that further liquidation ie needed to bring the market Into a really healthy condition. Such dif ferences of opinion favor activity In stocks and sharp fluctuations. On the recent de clines there was excellent Investment buy ing of good securities at bottom figures, which promises well for the future; but the rallies which followed were due more to short covering than to purchases on the long side. There are still too many uncer tainties to warrant a sudden revival of confidence to justify any enthusiastic at tempt to create a buoyant bull market at the present time. But hereafter lt will be an excellent tracMnr; market to buy on the raids for quick turns. Forelarn Financial. . LONDON. March 15-The stock market opened with an uncomfortable feeling last week and prices ccntlnued irregular until the close yesterday, when there were some evidences of strengthening. Wall street held the center of the stage and reports re garding the financial situation there caused apprehension and a rush to realise, but the later reassuring reports brought a re turn of confidence and ' prices recovered slightly, although almost all the American lints showed a decline. Thla flurry affected the whole market and attested to the ex tent of Wall street's Influence on the stock market here. One of the features of the week was the fact that the consols re ceded to a lower point than they had reached since 1870. This fall was due mainly to the continued lightness of money and the apruuchlng reduction In their in terest. There was not much doing In other directions, Investors playing a WHlting game. Mexicans and Central and South Americans showed a decided Improvement and South Africans were also regarded more favorably. Copper shares aroused a short-lived interest because of the advance In the price of the metal, but the later de cline In the price sent tlntos back sharply. BERLIN. March 15. All the weekly finan cial reviews point out the intense Interest of the bourse here last week in the finan cial, situation In New York. The otilnion apparently predominates that conditions on Wall street have become more favorable, at least German apprehensions were less pro nounced. New York did not appear as a borrower In Berlin last week, but the New York and London markets continue to nf fect the German money rates, private dis count rltdng on the week. Nevertheless there were scarcely any decrease in ihe abundance of th money. The rates of for tign exchange varied but Slightly, the ex change on most European centerj being fractionally lower and on New Yo-k a trltle higher than a week ago. The stock market continued rather firm, with a light vc.ume of transactions. Wall street did not ser.oufly affect the trading, except In caus ing considerable selling. Canaatina and dorrestlc 2h developed a good demand. Other denominations were neglected. Foreign rentes attracted less attention. Industrials manifested considerable activity, the quo tation, being generally upward. Irons and coalers were particularly strong upon thi favorable market reports. The Koe nlKche Zeltung states that the Amerlran d mand for Iron has developed surprls ngly duilng the last fortnight. A considerate number of American contracts were taken during the last few days for the September qjar ter. The coal trade shows an improvement In demand and Pans has begun to buy coa! shares hers. Ocean transportations de veloped great strength upon the publlcat on of tho Hamburg-American company's r. port stating that the freight market his parsed Its worst point The repcrt of tha Nirth German Lloyd, published ths morn ing, rhows net profit of t.Ml.:t, after d t ductlng puvmente of Interest.

Dry Uoods Market. MANCHESTER. March 15.-DRY GOOP8 Business on ihe cloth market last week was exceedingly hard to negotiate. Tha violent flui;tt4Uoiia eo tha Liverpool mar ket were detrimental to any operations of magnitude. Later in the week, howevrr, the inquiry became somewhat more active. Offers front India for shirtings proved gen erally Impracticable, though there were oc casional transactions for China. The trad" In all departments was of a hand-to-mouth character.

For the week supplies have been fairly liberal, as there Is a slight gain over the corresponding week of last year, but as -compared with last week there is a Slight falling off. The beef steer market this week has been rather uneven. On Monday and Tuesday the tendency of prices was downward, but oir Wednesday and Thursday prices ad vanced, while on Friday the market was rather weak again. As compared with the close of last week, however, there Is not much change in prices. Medium and handy weight cattle have been selling to the best advantage, and the decline yesterday was mostly on the good heavy cattle. The bulk of the fair to good cattle is now Belling from ttjyO to $4.50, good to choice f4.&04.85, and strictly prime from t4.86 to X626. The cow market has also fluctuated back and forth to some extent, but still the changes from day to day have not been quite a great as was the case with steers. Trading was fairly active on most days and the prices paid yesterday were very much the came as those In force at the close of Inst week, fanners are selling largely from t2.00 to f2.75, .fair to good cows from S2.90 to f3.&0. tnd good to choice from 13.50 to t4.25. Bulls have sold to better advantage thla week than last, and prices are. If anything, a' little higher. As high as fi.OO haa been paid for good fat bulls. Veal calves are also a little higher, as 16.25 was the top last week, while $6.60 is the best price this week. The demand for stoekers and feeders haa been brisk all the week and in excess of the supply. As a result trading was active every day and" the tendency of prices up ward. The better grades are fully 1015o higher than a week ago. and in extreme cases the advance looks even greater than that. Choice feeders may be quoted from f4.25 to f4.60. fair to good from t3.75 to 14.25, and the common grades from f3.00 to f3.75. HOGS There was just a fair run of hogs here this morning and the market opened generally a nickel higher than- yesterday. Trading, though, was not very active, and as the morning advanced the market seemed toWeaken and the close was alow, with prices a shade lower than the open ing. Good heavy Jiogs sold largely from t7.30 to f7.35, with prime heavies going -as high as $7.45; medium weight hogs eold from $7.25 to 37.30, and the light, hogs from $7.25 down. i This has been the high week of the year In the hog market, and in fact, prices have reached the highest point since last Octo ber. Wednesday, though, was the high day of the week when the average price was a fraction better than f7.29. The net gain for the week, however amounts to 10415c 1 The receipts still show a decrease as com- I pared with the corresponding period of last year and the net loss for the year to date at this point amounts to over 92.000 hogs. SHEEP There were a few care of sheep In the yards this morning, but they were consigned direct to local packera and not offered on the market. For the. week Re ceipts have been rather light, as there Im a decrease both as compared with. last week and with the coirebpondlng week of last year. This is the first time that there has been a falling off In receipts as compared with last year in some time past, aa the Increase tn receipts for the year to date amounts to about 95.000 head. The demand for good stuff haa been ac tive all the week and prices on sneep are a little higher. Ewes have showed the most Improvement and In fact have sold ut the highest prices of tha Beason, the top price for the week being f5.26. Good wethers and yearlings are also a little stronger and the advance may be put at Iii41."ic, and In extreme casee sales have looked even better than that, aome sales men quoting the advance 25c. The lamb market, however, is not much different from what lt was a week ago. Good lambs, though, have been very scarce and In fact there have been scarcely any prime lambs here In several idays. The demand for feeders has kept up In very satlHfactorv manner and. all desirable grades have met with ready Wle at good, steady prices.
